Significant variances compared with previous fiscal year
Overall expenditures increased by $320 thousand or 75% in fiscal year 2023-24 due to the following:

The increase in travel is mainly due to higher attendance for events related to leadership development programs and travel to regional offices in preparation of workspaces following the announcement of employees' return to the office.
Hospitality
The increase is mainly due to a higher number of hospitality provided as part of learning programs and the increase in-person participation in learning events.
Conference fees
The increase is mainly due to higher in-person participation to various conferences that contribute to improving learning services.
