McConnell Dowell 2020 Annual Review

60 McConnell Dowell Group The Group generally deems they have significant influence if they have over 20% of the voting rights. Under the equity method, investments in associates are carried in the statement of financial position at cost plus post acquisition changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the associates. Goodwill relating to an associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is neither amortised nor individually tested for impairment. The Group’s share of its associates’ profits or losses is recognised in the statement of profit or loss, and its share of movements in reserves is recognised in reserves. The cumulative movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. Dividends receivable from associates are recognised in the parent entity’s statement of profit or loss as a component of other income, while in the consolidated financial statements they reduce the carrying amount of the investment. After application of the equity method the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognise an additional impairment loss on the Group’s investment in its associate. The Group determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in associate is impaired. If this is the case the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and it’s carrying value and recognises the amount in the statement of profit or loss. When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equal or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any unsecured long-term receivables and loans, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. The associates’ accounting policies conform to those used by the Group for like transactions and events in similar circumstances. Interest in joint arrangements Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. The Group’s interest in joint arrangements are either classified as joint operations or joint ventures. A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. When a Group entity undertakes its activities under joint operation, the Group entity as a joint operator recognises in relation to its interest in a joint operation, its: • Assets, including its share of any assets held jointly • Liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly • Revenue from its share of the output arising from the joint operation • Share of the revenue from the output by the joint operation, and • Expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly The Group accounts for the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses relating to its interest in a joint operation in accordance with the standards applicable to the particular assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. When a Group entity transacts with a joint operation in which a group entity is a joint operator (such as a sale or contribution of assets), the Group is considered to be conducting the transaction with the other parties to the joint operation, and gains and losses resulting from the transactions are recognised in the Group’s consolidated financial statements only to the extent of the other parties’ interests in the joint operation. When a Group entity transacts with a joint operation in which a group entity is a joint operator (such as a purchase of assets), the Group does not recognise its share of the gains and losses until it resells those assets to a third party. Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment, are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Freehold land is not depreciated. Freehold buildings and other fixed assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their expected useful lives to an estimated residual value. The following estimated useful lives are used in the calculation of depreciation: Buildings 10 - 30 years Leasehold improvements 1 - 5 years Plant and equipment 2 - 15 years Right-of-use assets S horter of lease period and asset’s useful life An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to rise from the use or disposal of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the statement of profit or loss in the year in which the item is derecognised. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end. Leases Transition approach The Group has adopted AASB 16 Leases using the modified retrospective approach, with the effect of initially applying the standard recognised at the date of initial application (i.e. 1 July 2019). Accordingly, the information presented for 30 June 2019 has not been restated – i.e. it is presented, as previously reported under AASB 117 Leases (AASB 117), Notes to the annual financial statements (continued) for the year ended 30 June 2020
