McConnell Dowell 2023 Annual Review

54 amounts due from customers for contract work, described herein as work in progress. For contracts where progress billings exceed contract costs incurred to date plus recognised profits, less recognised losses, the surplus is reflected as amounts due to customers for contract work, described herein as progress billings in advance. Amounts received before the related work is performed are included as a liability in the consolidated statement of financial position, as amounts received in advance under the amounts due from / (to) contract customers. Amounts billed for work performed but not collected from customers are included as contract receivables. Variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments are included as part of contract revenue as follows: Claims impact on transaction price Claims are subject to a high level of uncertainty. Various claims are submitted by the Group to their customers. Under AASB 15 revenue from claims is required to be accounted for as variable consideration and claims are included in revenue only when it is highly probable that revenue will not be reversed in the future. Variations to a contract Revenue related to variations is recognised when it can be reliably measured, and it is highly probable that revenue will not be reversed in the future. Variable consideration If the consideration in a contract includes a variable amount, the Group estimates the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for transferring the goods to the customer. The variable consideration is estimated at contract inception and constrained until it is highly probable that a significant revenue reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when the associated uncertainty with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Revenue is measured at the consideration at which the Group is expected to be entitled, excluding discounts, rebates, and GST/VAT. Combining and segmenting construction contracts The Group’s contracts are typically negotiated for the construction of a single asset or a group of assets which are closely inter-related or interdependent in terms of their design, technology and function. In certain circumstances, the Group measures revenue over a period of time for each separately identifiable components of a single contract or to a group of contracts together in order to reflect the substance of a contract or group of contracts. Assets covered by a single contract are treated separately when: • separate proposals have been submitted for each asset; • each asset has been subject to separate negotiation and the Group and customer have been able to accept or reject that part of the contract relating to each asset; and • the costs and revenues of each asset can be identified. A group of contracts is treated as a single construction contract when: • the group of contracts is negotiated as a single package; • the contracts are so closely inter-related that they are, in effect, part of a single project with an overall positive margin; and • the contracts are performed concurrently or in a continuous sequence Significant financing component Generally, the Group receives short-term advances from its customers. Using the practical expedient in AASB 15, the Group does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if it expects, at contract inception, that the period between the transfer of the promised good or service to the customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less. Warranties and defect periods Generally, construction and services contracts include defect and warranty periods following completion of the project. These obligations are not deemed to be separate performance obligations and therefore estimated and included in the total costs of the contracts. Where required, amounts are recognised accordingly in line with AASB 137: Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. Sale of Goods Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when control of the goods are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably. The Group has concluded that it is the principal in its revenue arrangements, because it typically controls the goods before transferring them to the customer. TAX Current tax Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities based on current period’s taxable income. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Current tax relating to a transaction that is outside earnings or loss are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other comprehensive earnings or directly in equity not in the statement of profit or loss. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate. Deferred tax Deferred tax is provided, using the balance sheet method, on all temporary differences at the reporting date except where exempted by Australian Accounting Standards. Temporary differences are differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their tax base. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax is charged to the statement of profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a transaction that is recognised directly in equity, or a business combination that is an acquisition. The effect on deferred tax of any changes in tax rates is recognised in the statement of profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items previously charged or credited directly to equity. A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the associated unused tax losses and deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is not probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
