McConnell Dowell 2023 Annual Review

59 The key amendments to AASB 101 include: • requiring companies to disclose their material accounting policies rather than their significant accounting policies; • clarifying that accounting policies related to immaterial transactions, other events or conditions are themselves immaterial and as such need not be disclosed; and • clarifying that not all accounting policies that relate to material transactions, other events or conditions are themselves material to a company’s financial statements. The Board also amended IFRS Practice Statement 2 to include guidance and two additional examples on the application of materiality to accounting policy disclosures. The amendments are consistent with the refined definition of material. The Group is still in the process of determining the impact of the amendments to the accounting standard. AASB 8 Definition of an accounting estimate (amendments) Effective 1 January 2023 Clarifications regarding accounting estimates rather than accounting policies in order to reduce the diversity in practice. The amendments introduce a new definition for accounting estimates: clarifying that they are monetary amounts in the financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty. The amendments also clarify the relationship between accounting policies and accounting estimates by specifying that a company develops an accounting estimate to achieve the objective set out by an accounting policy. Developing an accounting estimate includes both: • selecting a measurement technique (estimation or valuation technique) – e.g., an estimation technique used to measure a loss allowance for expected credit losses when applying AASB 9 Financial Instruments; and • choosing the inputs to be used when applying the chosen measurement technique – e.g., the expected cash outflows for determining a provision for warranty obligations when applying AASB 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. The effects of changes in such inputs or measurement techniques are changes in accounting estimates. The Group is still in the process of determining the impact of the amendments to the accounting standard. AASB 2022-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting standards – Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback- Effective 1 January 2024 The amendments confirm the following: • On initial recognition, the seller-lessee includes variable lease payments when it measures a lease liability arising from a sale-and-leaseback transaction. • After initial recognition, the seller-lessee applies the general requirements for subsequent accounting of the lease liability such that it recognises no gain or loss relating to the right of use it retains. A seller-lessee may adopt different approaches that satisfy the new requirements on subsequent measurement. The Group has assessed that the following amendment to the standards do not have an impact on the Group currently, it will be reconsidered in future as and when it does become applicable. AASB 2020-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current AASB 2020-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current – Deferral of Effective Date AASB 2022-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Non-current Liabilities with Covenants – Effective 1 January 2024 After reconsidering certain aspects of the 2020 amendments, the IASB reconfirmed that only covenants with which a company must comply on or before the reporting date affect the classification of a liability as current or non-current. Covenants with which the company must comply after the reporting date (i.e., future covenants) do not affect a liability’s classification at that date. However, when non-current liabilities are subject to future covenants, companies will now need to disclose information to help users understand the risk that those liabilities could become repayable within 12 months after the reporting date. The amendments also clarify how a company classifies a liability that can be settled in its own shares – e.g., convertible debt. When a liability includes a counterparty conversion option that involves a transfer of the company’s own equity instruments, the conversion option is recognised as either equity or a liability separately from the host liability under IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation. The IASB has now clarified that when a company classifies the host liability as current or noncurrent, it can ignore only those conversion options that are recognised as equity. The group has taken note of the updated definition and will consider and apply going forward. At 30 June 2023, the Group no longer has any long-term debt with covenants or any liability with a conversion to equity option. AASB 2014-10 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture AASB 2015-10 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Effective Date of Amendments to AASB 10 and AASB 128 AASB 2017-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Effective Date of Amendments to AASB 10 and AASB 128 and Editorial Corrections AASB 2021-7(a-c) Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Effective Date of Amendments to AASB 10 and AASB 128 and Editorial Corrections Resolves the conflict regarding how much of the gain on disposal the parent can recognise when control of a subsidiary is lost in a transaction with an associate or a joint venture. The Group has assessed that the amendment to the standards does not have an impact on the Group.
