AASB 15
Contract An agreement between two or more parties that creates enforceable rights and
obligations.
contract asset An entity’s right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the entity has
transferred to a customer when that right is conditioned on something other than the
passage of time (for example, the entity’s future performance).
contract liability An entity’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the entity
has received consideration (or the amount is due) from the customer.
Customer A party that has contracted with an entity to obtain goods or services that are an
output of the entity’s ordinary activities in exchange for consideration.
Income Increases in economic benefits during the accounting period in the form of inflows or
enhancements of assets or decreases of liabilities that result in an increase in equity,
other than those relating to contributions from equity participants.
performance obligation A promise in a contract with a customer to transfer to the customer either:
(a) a good or service (or a bundle of goods or services) that is distinct; or
(b) a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same and that have the same
pattern of transfer to the customer.
Revenue Income arising in the course of an entity’s ordinary activities.
stand-alone selling price (of a good or service) The price at which an entity would sell a promised
good or service separately to a customer.
transaction price (for a contract with a customer) The amount of consideration to which an entity
expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a
customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties.
9 An entity shall account for a contract with a customer that is within the scope of this Standard only
when all of the following criteria are met:
(a) the parties to the contract have approved the contract (in writing orally or in accordance with
other customary business practices) and are committed to perform their respective obligations.
(b) the entity can identify each party’s rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred.
(c) the entity can identify the payment terms for the goods or services to be transferred.
(d) the contract has commercial substance (i.e. the risk, timing or amount of the entity’s future cash
flows is expected to change as a result of the contract); and
(e) it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange
for the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer. In evaluating whether
collectability of an amount of consideration is probable, an entity shall consider only the
customer’s ability and intention to pay that amount of consideration when it is due. The amount
of consideration to which the entity will be entitled may be less than the price stated in the
contract if the consideration is variable because the entity may offer the customer a price
concession.
22 At contract inception, an entity shall assess the goods or services promised in a contract with a
customer and shall identify as a performance obligation each promise to transfer to the customer
either:
(a) a good or service (or a bundle of goods or services) that is distinct; or
(b) a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same and that have the same
pattern of transfer to the customer
81 A customer receives a discount for purchasing a bundle of goods or services if the sum of the stand-
alone selling prices of those promised goods or services in the contract exceeds the promised
consideration in a contract. Except when an entity has observable evidence in accordance with
paragraph 82 that the entire discount relates to only one or more, but not all, performance
obligations in a contract, the entity shall allocate a discount proportionately to all performance
obligations in the contract. The proportionate allocation of the discount in those circumstances is
a consequence of the entity allocating the transaction price to each performance obligation on the
basis of the relative stand-alone selling prices of the underlying distinct goods or services.
AASB 16
fixed payments Payments made by a lessee to a lessor for the right to use an underlying asset
during the lease term, excluding variable lease payments.
initial direct costs Incremental costs of obtaining a lease that would not have been incurred if
the lease had not been obtained, except for such costs incurred by a
manufacturer or dealer lessor in connection with a finance lease.
interest rate The rate of interest that causes the present value of (a) the lease payments
implicit in the lease and (b) the unguaranteed residual value to equal the sum of (i) the fair value
of the underlying asset and (ii) any initial direct costs of the lessor.
Lease A contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to use an asset (the
underlying asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
lease incentives Payments made by a lessor to a lessee associated with a lease, or the
reimbursement or assumption by a lessor of costs of a lessee.
lease payments Payments made by a lessee to a lessor relating to the right to use an
underlying asset during the lease term, comprising the following:
(a) fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease
incentives;
(b) variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate;
(c) the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain
to exercise that option; and
(d) payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects
the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease.
For the lessee, lease payments also include amounts expected to be payable
by the lessee under residual value guarantees. Lease payments do not
include payments allocated to non-lease components of a contract, unless
the lessee elects to combine non-lease components with a lease component
and to account for them as a single lease component.
lease term The non-cancellable period for which a lessee has the right to use an
underlying asset, together with both:
(a) periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the lessee is
reasonably certain to exercise that option; and
(b) periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the lessee is
reasonably certain not to exercise that option.
lessee’s The rate of interest that a lessee would have to pay to borrow over a similar
incremental term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a
borrowing rate similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment.
residual value A guarantee made to a lessor by a party unrelated to the lessor that the value
guarantee (or part of the value) of an underlying asset at the end of a lease will be at
least a specified amount.
right-of-use asset An asset that represents a lessee’s right to use an underlying asset for the
lease term.
short-term lease A lease that, at the commencement date, has a lease term of 12 months or
less. A lease that contains a purchase option is not a short-term lease.
underlying asset An asset that is the subject of a lease, for which the right to use that asset
has been provided by a lessor to a lessee.
unguaranteed That portion of the residual value of the underlying asset, the realisation of
residual value which by a lessor is not assured or is guaranteed solely by a party related to
the lessor.
variable lease The portion of payments made by a lessee to a lessor for the right to use an
payments underlying asset during the lease term that varies because of changes in facts
or circumstances occurring after the commencement date, other than the
passage of time.
23 At the commencement date, a lessee shall measure the right-of-use asset at cost.
24 The cost of the right-of-use asset shall comprise:
(a) the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, as described in paragraph 26;
(b) any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives
received;
(c) any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee; and
(d) an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying
asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition
required by the terms and conditions of the lease, unless those costs are incurred to produce
inventories. The lessee incurs the obligation for those costs either at the commencement date
or as a consequence of having used the underlying asset during a particular period.
26 At the commencement date, a lessee shall measure the lease liability at the present value of the
lease payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments shall be discounted using the
interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be
readily determined, the lessee shall use the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate.
36 After the commencement date, a lessee shall measure the lease liability by:
(a) increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability;
(b) reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made; and
(c) remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications specified
in paragraphs 39–46, or to reflect revised in-substance fixed lease payments

General purpose financial statements (referred to as ‘financial statements’) are those intended to
meet the needs of users who are not in a position to require an entity to prepare reports
tailored to their particular information needs.
Material Omissions or misstatements of items are material if they could, individually or collectively,
influence the economic decisions that users make on the basis of the financial statements.
Materiality depends on the size and nature of the omission or misstatement judged in the
surrounding circumstances. The size or nature of the item, or a combination of both, could
be the determining factor.
Assessing whether an omission or misstatement could influence economic decisions of users, and so
be material, requires consideration of the characteristics of those users. The Framework for
the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements states in paragraph 25 that ‘users
are assumed to have a reasonable knowledge of business and economic activities and
accounting and a willingness to study the information with reasonable diligence.’ Therefore,
the assessment needs to take into account how users with such attributes could reasonably
be expected to be influenced in making economic decisions.
Notes contain information in addition to that presented in the statement of financial position,
statement(s) of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in
equity and statement of cash flows. Notes provide narrative descriptions or disaggregations
of items presented in those statements and information about items that do not qualify for
recognition in those statements.
Other comprehensive income comprises items of income and expense (including reclassification
adjustments) that are not recognised in profit or loss as required or permitted by other
Australian Accounting Standards.
Profit or loss is the total of income less expenses, excluding the components of other comprehensive
income.
10 A complete set of financial statements comprises:
(a) a statement of financial position as at the end of the period;
(b) a statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the period;
(c) a statement of changes in equity for the period;
(d) a statement of cash flows for the period;
(e) notes, comprising significant accounting policies and other explanatory information;
(ea) comparative information in respect of the preceding period as specified in paragraphs 38 and
38A; and
(f) a statement of financial position as at the beginning of the preceding period when an entity
applies an accounting policy retrospectively or makes a retrospective restatement of items in
its financial statements, or when it reclassifies items in its financial statements in accordance
with paragraphs 40A–40D.
107 An entity shall present, either in the statement of changes in equity or in the notes, the amount
of dividends recognised as distributions to owners during the period, and the related amount of
dividends per share.
137 An entity shall disclose in the notes:
(a) the amount of dividends proposed or declared before the financial statements were authorised
for issue but not recognised as a distribution to owners during the period, and the related
amount per share; and
(b) the amount of any cumulative preference dividends not recognised.
AASB 108
Accounting policies are the specific principles, bases, conventions, rules and practices applied by an
entity in preparing and presenting financial statements.
A change in accounting estimate is an adjustment of the carrying amount of an asset or a liability, or
the amount of the periodic consumption of an asset, that results from the assessment of
the present status of, and expected future benefits and obligations associated with,
assets and liabilities. Changes in accounting estimates result from new information or
new developments and, accordingly, are not corrections of errors.
Prior period errors are omissions from, and misstatements in, the entity’s financial statements for one
or more prior periods arising from a failure to use, or misuse of, reliable information that:
(a) was available when financial statements for those periods were authorised for issue;
and
(b) could reasonably be expected to have been obtained and taken into account in the
preparation and presentation of those financial statements.
Such errors include the effects of mathematical mistakes, mistakes in applying accounting
policies, oversights or misinterpretations of facts, and fraud.
Retrospective application is applying a new accounting policy to transactions, other events and
conditions as if that policy had always been applied. Retrospective restatement is
correcting the recognition, measurement and disclosure of amounts of elements of
financial statements as if a prior period error had never occurred.
Impracticable Applying a requirement is impracticable when the entity cannot apply it after making
every reasonable effort to do so.
Prospective application of a change in accounting policy and of recognising the effect of a change in
an accounting estimate, respectively, are:
(a) applying the new accounting policy to transactions, other events and conditions
occurring after the date as at which the policy is changed; and
(b) recognising the effect of the change in the accounting estimate in the current and
future periods affected by the change.
16 The following are not changes in accounting policies:
(a) the application of an accounting policy for transactions, other events or conditions that differ
in substance from those previously occurring; and
(b) the application of a new accounting policy for transactions, other events or conditions that did
not occur previously or were immaterial.
41 Errors can arise in respect of the recognition, measurement, presentation or disclosure of elements
of financial statements. Financial statements do not comply with Australian Accounting Standards
if they contain either material errors or immaterial errors made intentionally to achieve a particular
presentation of an entity’s financial position, financial performance or cash flows. Potential current
period errors discovered in that period are corrected before the financial statements are
authorised for issue. However, material errors are sometimes not discovered until a subsequent
period, and these prior period errors are corrected in the comparative information presented in
the financial statements for that subsequent period.
42 Subject to paragraph 43, an entity shall correct material prior period errors retrospectively in the
first set of financial statements authorised for issue after their discovery by: (a) restating the
comparative amounts for the prior period(s) presented in which the error occurred; or (b) if the
error occurred before the earliest prior period presented, restating the opening balances of assets,
liabilities and equity for the earliest prior period presented.
AASB 110
3 Events after the reporting period are those events, favourable and unfavourable, that occur between
the end of the reporting period and the date when the financial statements are authorised for
issue. Two types of events can be identified:
(a) those that provide evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period
(adjusting events after the reporting period); and
(b) those that are indicative of conditions that arose after the reporting period (non-adjusting
events after the reporting period).
AASB 137
10 A provision is a liability of uncertain timing or amount.
A liability is a present obligation of the entity arising from past events, the settlement of which is
expected to result in an outflow from the entity of resources embodying economic benefits.
An obligating event is an event that creates a legal or constructive obligation that results in an entity
having no realistic alternative to settling that obligation.
A legal obligation is an obligation that derives from: (a) a contract (through its explicit or implicit
terms);
(b) legislation; or (c) other operation of law.
A constructive obligation is an obligation that derives from an entity’s actions where:
(a) by an established pattern of past practice, published policies or a sufficiently specific current
statement, the entity has indicated to other parties that it will accept certain responsibilities;
and
(b) as a result, the entity has created a valid expectation on the part of those other parties that it
will discharge those responsibilities.
A contingent liability is:
(a) a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only
by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within
the control of the entity; or
(b) a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognised because:
(i) it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be
required to settle the obligation; or
(ii) the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.
14 A provision shall be recognised when:
(a) an entity has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event;
(b) it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to
settle the obligation; and
(c) a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
If these conditions are not met, no provision shall be recognised.
27 An entity shall not recognise a contingent liability.
84 For each class of provision, an entity shall disclose: (a) the carrying amount at the beginning and
end of the period; (b) additional provisions made in the period, including increases to existing
provisions; (c) amounts used (that is, incurred and charged against the provision) during the period;
(d) unused amounts reversed during the period; and (e) the increase during the period in the
discounted amount arising from the passage of time and the effect of any change in the discount
rate. Comparative information is not required.
85 An entity shall disclose the following for each class of provision: (a) a brief description of the nature
of the obligation and the expected timing of any resulting outflows of economic benefits; (b) an
indication of the uncertainties about the amount or timing of those outflows. Where necessary to
provide adequate information, an entity shall disclose the major assumptions made concerning
future events, as addressed in paragraph; and (c) the amount of any expected reimbursement,
stating the amount of any asset that has been recognised for that expected reimbursement.
