Introduction

These guidelines are provided to assist health services in the presentation of their annual report

as required under the Financial Management Act 1994 (the Act), section 4.2 of the Standing

Directions of the Minister for Finance under the Act and Financial Reporting Directions. The Act

and Directions apply to all entities. Each annual report is to be divided into two sections:

Report of operations.

Financial statements including explanatory notes.

These guidelines have been developed to illustrate as widely as possible the minimum disclosure requirements for entities. You are expected to use the guideline as a basis for preparing your financial report, subject to each entities individual circumstances.

These guidelines provide guidance for entities to complete their financial statements, while

further information can be found in the following documents:

Financial Management Act 1994.

Standing Directions of the Minister for Finance.

Financial Reporting Directions issued by the Department of Treasury and Finance.

Australian Accounting Standards.

Australian Interpretations.

AIMS guidelines.

It is recommended that the reporting process commence in early June 2008 with a mock run

using 31 May, 2008 data, incorporating June data in early July in order to meet the 25 July

2008 and 25 August 2008 deadlines for financial statements (Refer to Timetable on page 7).

Balance date for entities is 30 June 2008.

Submission of a June F1 for 2007-08 is required. The due date for submitting the F1 is 25 August

2008. Health Services will be required to provide an interim financial result prior to this date.

Abbreviations in these guidelines refer to Australian Accounting Standards (AAS), AASB

Accounting Standards (AASB) and the Financial Management Act 1994 (the Act).

The guidelines include all requirements that are effective for financial periods beginning on or

after 1 July 2007.

You are advised that it is the primary responsibility of the entities governing board to ensure

that these requirements are complied with.

As was the case in the previous year there are separate requirements for the State’s Annual

Financial Report (AFR) under the Act (Refer s24 of the Act as results from the requirements of

AAS 31 ‘Financial Reporting by Governments.’) Each entity needs to complete the prescribed

formats in Microsoft Excel to meet the AFR reporting requirements. AFR information from

entities will be consolidated by the Department of Human Services (The Department or DHS) to

11

produce a Portfolio return to the Department of Treasury and Finance (DTF). DTF will then

consolidate the Portfolio returns to produce the State’s AFR report to be tabled in Parliament.

Separate AFR instructions will be issued by the Department in June 2008.

Queries regarding the contents of these guidelines should be directed to your DHS Regional

Director or the respective account managers for the Metropolitan Hospitals.

Segment Reporting

Health services that provide Commonwealth funded residential aged care services (RACS) are

required to comply with AASB 114 Segment Reporting (Refer to s21.26F para 3e Residential

Care Subsidy Amendment Principles 2006 (No. 1)) as a condition of receiving the

Commonwealth's Conditional Adjustment Payments.

Yearly Timetable

Financial Statements Financial Statements

DHS highly encourages entities to undertake a May hard close that involves the preparation of

full financial statements, for audit as at 31 May 2008 with June movements being reviewed by

audit for consistency and reasonableness. Entities are also encouraged to bring forward the

calculation of certain items into May 2008 provided that there are no material changes in June

2008 (this should be discussed with your Victorian Auditor-General’s Office (VAGO)

representative) i.e. the calculation of LSL

Other areas for pre reporting date work to be performed include (and should be discussed with

your VAGO representative):

Contingent liabilities, contingent assets and commitments may be compiled as at 31 May

provided there are no material changes from May to June.

Wage inflation and discount rates for Long Service Leave will be issued by 3 June, thus

enabling the calculation of LSL as at 31 May.

Entities are requested to discuss their plan for the preparation of their financial statements with

their VAGO representative to identify and address any areas which may impede the completion

of the AFR templates and annual report by the due dates. It is recommended that entities agree

a timetable for the preparation and audit of their financial statements with their VAGO

representative. Entities should also advise their VAGO representative of any contentious,

unusual or other one-off material transactions (or accounting policies) that they are aware of as

soon as possible, in order to ensure early agreement/resolution.

The key dates for preparation of the 2007-08 financial statements are as follows:

(a) Material health services

Material health services are Austin Health, Barwon Health, Bayside Health, Eastern Health,

Melbourne Health, Western Health, Southern Health and Royal Children’s Hospital.

Deadline Task

May onwards Confirm audit process and timeframes with VAGO representative. Note that VAGO is required to audit all controlled entities under Audit Act 1994.

25 July Provide VAGO representative with complete final draft financial statements that have passed internal quality assurance scrutiny and AFR schedules by no later than this date (and in accordance with the timetable agreed with your VAGO representative).

25 July Submit AFR schedules templates via email to [email protected]. (refer to separate AFR guidelines).

13 Aug Sign audited financial statements (subject to audit clearance). The Audit Committee and Governing Board should have already adopted the audited financial statements for signing by this date.

25 July Submit AFR schedules templates via email to [email protected]. (refer to separate AFR guidelines).

25 Aug Provide VAGO representative with complete final draft financial statements that have passed internal quality assurance scrutiny by no later than this date (or earlier in accordance with the timetable agreed with your VAGO representative).

22 Sep Sign audited financial statements (subject to audit clearance). The Audit Committee and Governing Board should have already adopted the audited financial statements for signing by this date.

Annual ReportsAnnual ReportsAnnual reports for 2007-08 will be tabled in Parliament on or before 30 October 2008. Health services are requested to implement a plan to ensure the process of completing for tabling by that date.

The key dates for preparation of the annual report are as follows:

Deadline* Task

From 9 May Start to prepare annual report (excluding financial statements – refer separate timing above for availability).

18 Aug onwards Advice the relevant DHS Divisional/Regional contact when VAGO signs off on financial statements.

25 Aug 30 June financial statements submitted to VAGO (non material entities)

29 Sept Prepare a final printers proof (bromide, PDF etc) of the annual report that contains an exact copy of the audited and approved (by the health service) financial statements, VAGO audit report and submit it to VAGO for final review. Once reviewed, arrange printing of annual report and forward copy of final bromide to the relevant Divisional contact.

6 Oct Check and forward 10 copies of the complete and final annual reports to Region/Division.

13 Oct Forward hard copies of annual reports (including audited financial statements and VAGO audit report) that requires tabling to Region/Division. If an annual report is to be receipted then no extra copies are required (see page 8 for details).

Nov Ensure that annual report is replicated on the health services website and that web site VAGO audit report is attached.

*Although these are DHS recommended timelines, if they are not met, the annual report may

be tabled/receipted late in Parliament that is, after 30 October 2008, and will require a

Ministerial Briefing specifying the reason(s) why the annual report was late.

NOTE:The annual report should be tabled in Parliament before the entities Annual

General Meeting. Speaker Andrianopoulos made a ruling about the release of an

annual report before it was tabled in Parliament. His ruling can be found in Hansard,

Vol 452, 22-22 November 2001, pp 1777 and 1873-4. The Speaker ruled that where

such a disclosure takes place, it is not a breach of privilege, but is a gross

discourtesy to the House.

Printing and Publication of Annual Report to be tabled in Parliament

It is the responsibility of each entity to ensure that the annual report includes the financial

report and audit report issued by VAGO.

All details in the published annual report must appear exactly as per the

audited financial statements and accompanying notes cleared by VAGO.

- No information should be added to or removed from the financial

statements, doing so would imply that the amended information has

been audited by VAGO.

The format and presentation must be the same as agreed with VAGO.

VAGO’s audit report must be included in the annual report. It is important that

this is an exact copy of VAGO’s audit report.

Entities are therefore required to ensure that if the financial reports are provided to an external

printer that they are proof read to ensure that the completed document agrees with the format,

content and presentation as audited by VAGO.

Failure to comply with the above will delay the tabling of the entities annual report and may

necessitate an addendum, erratum or in extreme cases a reproduction and re-tabling of the

entities annual report to Parliament. Any amended financial statements must be submitted to

VAGO for audit review.

Please note: For ease of reading the financial statements, it is recommended that a font size

of no less than 10 be used in the printing of these statements and for ease of storing it is

recommended that the size of the annual report should be A4 size.

The financial statements must be processed in accordance with the yearly timetable to ensure

compliance with the requirements under the Financial Management Act 1994. 13 October

2008 is the deadline for Regions to collect from entities and to submit to the Minister the

annual report, that is (report of operations, financial statements and Audit Report).

Entities should provide the required number of copies of the annual report as audited by VAGO

to regional offices as per below:

Metropolitan Health Services and Denominational Health Services: Director of Finance,

17/50 Lonsdale Street, Melbourne;

Regions: Manager, Cabinet Parliament and Executive Services, 21/50 Lonsdale St,

Melbourne

The required number of copies each entity is to provide to their division/region is as per below:

Entities that have expenses and obligations (liabilities and commitments) totalling $5

million or more are required to submit 70 copies of their annual report (60 to be tabled

in Parliament, and 10 for division/region).

Entities that have expenses and obligations (liabilities and commitments) totalling less

than $5 million are required to submit 10 copies of their annual report (for the

88

division/region), as no copies are required for receipting in Parliament. (Annual reports

are receipted in Parliament by formally presenting a letter to both Houses of

Parliament informing that the Minister has received the report of operations and

financial statements of the public body)

The Minister is required to have the reports tabled/receipted in Parliament on or before 30

October 2008. The Minister must report to Parliament any failure to comply with the

time requirements under the Act and reasons for the delay.

Inconsistencies Found in Published Annual Inconsistencies Found in Published Annual

ReportsReports

In reviewing both VAGO's copy and DHS portfolio agencies’ published annual reports for 2006-07, some inconsistencies have been found. These include:

VAGO’s audit report published in the annual report was not the exact copy of the audit report provided (eg. Differences in VAGO’s details, signature and wording).

VAGO’s audit report, financial statements, and or notes missing from the published annual report.

VAGO audit report had been condensed into one page, when it was originally on two pages (this is amending the audit report)

The Accountable Officer’s, chief finance & accounting officer’s and member of responsible body’s declaration published in the annual report was not the exact copy of what was provided to VAGO (ie. different signatures and wording, dates were handwritten in copy provided to VAGO but typed in the published annual report, dates left off, different officers names between VAGO’s copy and the published annual report).

Incorrect referencing to notes in the published annual report.

The financial statements were missing headings in the published annual report.

The footer “This Statement should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes” was missing from some of the 4 main Statements of the Financial Report.

The header “Notes to and forming part of the Financial Statements 30 June 2007” was missing from some Note pages within the Financial Report.

Sentences, words/letters omitted/added in the published annual report.

Spelling, typing, grammatical and formatting errors found in the published annual report.

Notes/pages/paragraph printed twice in the published annual report.

Figures different between VAGO's copy and the published annual report.

Total for line items in the financial statements did not equal the total in supporting notes.

Rows in tables were rearranged.

Data from previous years missing in the published report.

Using a combination of Australian and American English. The whole report should be in Australian English.

Notes out of order in the published report.

Notes missing from the published report that were included in the version signed by VAGO.

Words from the Annual Reporting Guidelines (commentary) included in the published annual report. i.e. ABC Health Services

Incorrect formatting resulting in ### to be displayed instead of numbers.

1010

No separation between the Financial Statements and the rest of the Annual Report, resulting in questions as to what had been audited

The font size in the annual report is considerably less than size 10.

Did not use brackets in statements and notes which make information hard to differentiate.

Headings/data been cut off due to the height of rows being too short.

Subheadings were incorporated into text which confuses reader.

Incorrect income band range presented in Responsible Persons Disclosure.

Using acronyms instead of full name when full word has not previously been spelt out.

Entities are reminded that the annual report should be published verbatim to what was signed off by VAGO.

1111

Report of Operations

The following guidelines amplify the minimum requirements for the report of operations under

the Financial Management Act 1994. Entities are to disclose this information in their annual

reports and are to ensure consistency with the financial statements.

Consideration should be given to the most effective way of presenting information in the context

of additional disclosures made by the entity. A separate ‘statutory' report of operations required

by the Act in one part of the annual report is often less effective than inclusion of the required

information in the body of the non-financial section of the report. Cross-referencing can be used

to ensure compliance with the minimum disclosures in the Act. The report of operations should

be presented to VAGO’s representative for comparison with the financial statements.

The following are the items requiring disclosure in order to provide readers with background and

general information about the entity and their organisation structure. This information is

required by the Standing Directions of the Minister for Finance and Financial Reporting

Directions (specifically FRD 22B Standard Disclosures in the Report of Operations), and any

updates from time to time.

1. Elective surgery performance

Category 1, Admission within 30 days is desirable for a condition that has the potential to

deteriorate quickly to the point that it may become an emergency.

Category 2, Admission within 90 days desirable for a condition causing some pain,

dysfunction or disability but which is not likely to deteriorate quickly or become an

emergency.

Category 3, Admission within 365 days desirable for a condition causing minimal or no

pain, dysfunction or disability that is unlikely to deteriorate quickly or become an

emergency.

The figures for Elective are as reported to the Elective Surgery Information System (ESIS).

This data is only considered provisional at the time of preparing the annual reports.

Emergency Department Performance

2a. Percentage of Triage category one emergency patients seen immediately

Consistent with the Australian College for Emergency Medicine (ACEM) guidelines, 100 percent of triage category one patients should be treated immediately. This indicator is calculated as the number of triage category one patients treated immediately, divided by the total number of triage category one patients.

2b. Percentage of emergency patients admitted to an inpatient bed within eight

hours

This indicator monitors the percentage of emergency patients requiring admission who are

admitted from the emergency department to an inpatient bed within 8 hours as a

percentage of all patients who were admitted to a ward.

2c. Percentage of operating time on hospital bypass

In 2007-08 the percentages of operating time on hospital bypass. This is calculated by:

1818

Numerator-Actual time on bypass

Denominator-Actual time in the period.

2d Percentage of non-admitted emergency patients with a length of stay (LOS) of less than four hours

This indicator monitors the percentage of emergency patients not requiring admission to

an inpatient bed who have an emergency department length of stay of less than 4 hours

as a percentage of all patients who do not require admission to an inpatient bed.

2e Number of patients with an emergency department length of stays of greater than 24 hoursThis indicator measures the number of patients who remain in the emergency department

for longer than 24 hours irrespective of their departure status from the emergency

department.

Classifying Transactions to the Health Service Classifying Transactions to the Health Service Agreement (HSA) or Hospital and Community Agreement (HSA) or Hospital and Community Initiatives (H&CI)Initiatives (H&CI)

The HSA category encompasses all the services that DHS funds, partly or wholly via a Health

Services Agreement and/or Statement of Priorities. The HSA category also encompasses funding

from third parties (eg Commonwealth) that support the operations of these services.

Examples of transactions to be classified to the HSA category which have been previously

treated inconsistently include:

Low care aged residential care services (hostels). Direct funding support has been

provided in 2007-08 (HSUA wage increase) and indirect resources are provided by DHS to

support accreditation.

Program of Aids for Disabled People. This is a service funded through the HSA.

Public hospital services provided to privately insured and other non-public patients. Unless

provided directly through separate specific purpose funds established in accordance with

DHS business rules, services to these patients are to be treated as a full or partial cost

recovery extension of an HSA funded service.

The H&CI category encompasses health expenses and revenues relating to health services that

are not supported by the HSA as well as expenses and revenues for other kinds of services.

Services to be classified to the H&CI category include:

Private hospitals owned by the public hospital/health service

Services provided under contract to co-located private hospitals

Separate internal and restricted specific purpose funds selling goods or services of a retail

or commercial or medical nature to external parties (eg. cafeterias, food catering, car park,

linen services, cleaning services, privatised clinical services)

Health services that are wholly funded by the Commonwealth, plus client co-payments (eg.

CACPs, EACH, Day Therapy Centres)

Services provided to DHS under non-HSA arrangements, such as commercial contracts

Health services provided on a contractual basis to external parties (eg. public hospital

beds provided to private hospital)

Special projects and trust funds that are required to be accounted for outside the HSA

category (eg. Coordinated Care trials)

Research wholly funded by the Commonwealth and other government or non-government

agencies.

General IssuesGeneral Issues

Reporting Entity (Consolidation)Reporting Entity (Consolidation)

Under AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, a reporting entity includes an economic entity comprising the parent entity and its controlled entities. Essentially, in the Standard, it is the control rather than ownership that provides the criterion which is fundamental to the identification of the group of related entities to be consolidated.

Control is defined in AASB 127 paragraph 4 as the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

In AASB 127 paragraph 13, control is presumed to exist when the parent owns, directly or

indirectly through subsidiaries, more than half of the voting power of an entity unless, in

exceptional circumstances, it can be clearly demonstrated that such ownership does not

constitute control. Control also exists when the parent owns half or less of the voting power of

an entity when there is:

(a) power over more than half of the voting rights by virtue of an agreement with other

investors;

(b) power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity under a statute or an

agreement;

(c) power to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors or

equivalent governing body and control of the entity is by that board or body; or

(d) power to cast the majority of votes at meetings of the board of directors or equivalent

governing body and control of the entity is by that board or body.

As per AASB 127, paragraph Aus 13.5, in determining the existence of a group in the public sector, the controlling entity’s ability to deploy the resources under its control and whether there are restrictions on the allocation of funds between activities under its authority need to be considered. In addition, the ability of the entities to operate for the benefit of the controlling entity is a central characteristic of a group. If an entity is precluded from operating for the benefit of the controlling entity, for example through the existence of separate administrations, it is clear that the entity would not be included in the group.

Further guidance on the concept of control is also provided in AASB Interpretation 112 Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities.

When control is established in accordance with AASB 127 or Interpretation 112, then the operations are to be reported in the consolidated accounts.

Where the gross revenue or total assets of the operations is equal to or less than five per cent of the principal entity's revenue or total assets, the operations are immaterial unless there is evidence to the contrary. Otherwise, the controlled entity information would normally be shown in aggregate with the entity total in the consolidated totals of the economic entity and not as a segment to the consolidated financial statements. Any inter/entity transactions between the entity and the controlled entity should be eliminated to avoid double counting.

A majority of criteria does not need to be satisfied to qualify for consolidation. Substance over form needs to be applied in the final analysis.

Entities should also comply with the requirements on comparative information in AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements.

Commentary – Attestation on Compliance with Commentary – Attestation on Compliance with Australian/New Zealand Risk Management StandardAustralian/New Zealand Risk Management StandardTo ensure that risks are being managed in a consistent manner, entities are required to attest in annual reports that:

services have risk management processes in place consistent with the Australian/New Zealand Risk Management Standard (or equivalent designated standard);

these processes are effective in controlling the risks to a satisfactory level; and

a reasonable body or audit committee verifies that view

Attestation of compliance should be made annually in the report of operations and the person making the attestation, usually the chief executive officer or accountable officer, should not make the attestation unless the audit committee or responsible body (for instance the board of a statutory authority) agrees that such an assurance can be given.

Services are strongly encouraged to read the Victorian Government Risk Management Framework published by the Department of Treasury and Finance for more information on Risk Management Standard.

Financial Statements and Explanatory Notes

IntroductionIntroductionThe following financial statements and explanatory notes have been prepared to assist entities

in preparing their 2007-08 annual report.

The explanatory notes deal with a range of particular matters that are intended to provide

guidance to entities. The formats and notes for the annual report should not be seen as

restrictive; they are intended to guide entity management in determining the type and level of

information required. However, to ensure consistency in report presentation, entities should not

adopt a format substantially different from the format described in these guidelines.

It is emphasised that the formats and notes for the annual report are the minimum requirements

and entities are encouraged to provide additional information where necessary in the interests

of presenting fairly their results and financial position and achieving informative disclosure.

These Guidelines do not, and cannot be expected to cover all situations that may be

encountered in practice. There may be unusual events or transactions that are not

illustrated, where officers will need to use their professional judgement to make

appropriate disclosures. On the other hand, some disclosures exampled may not be

relevant and should be omitted where appropriate. Care should be taken to ensure

that disclosures represent accurately each entities actual accounting policies and not

repeated verbatim from these guidelines unless appropriate. Therefore, knowledge

of the disclosure provisions of Australian Accounting Standards and Australian

Interpretations are pre-requisites for the preparation of financial statements.

These guidelines provide formats for:

Operating Statement.

Balance Sheet.

Statement of Changes in Equity.

Cash Flow Statement.

Accountable officer’s, chief finance & accounting officer’s and member of responsible

body’s declaration.

Notes to the financial statements.

The Consolidated column in the statements is only to be used where controlled entities

(subsidiaries) are included. Health services with no controlled entities are to use the Total

columns for the aggregate of health service and segment items. The Operating Statement,

Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity and Cash Flow Statement must be cross-

referenced to notes to explain relevant items included in those statements.

VAGO’s audit report on the financial statements will be signed and dated on the basis of the

final set of accounts signed by the entity.

2727

Financial statements, having been subject to entity’s quality assurance processes, are to be

submitted for audit by VAGO within 8 weeks of the end of the financial year, that is, 25 August

2008 (s45 (2) of the Act). VAGO will audit the financial statements to meet annual reporting

requirements under the Act.

Commentary – Financial ReportMateriality and AggregationMateriality and AggregationEach material class of similar items shall be presented separately in the financial report.

Items of a similar nature or function shall be presented separately unless they are immaterial.

ConsistencyConsistency

The presentation and classification of items in the financial report shall be retained from one

period to the next unless:

(a) it is apparent, following a significant change in the nature of the entities operations or

a review of its financial report, that another presentation or classification would be

more appropriate having regard to the criteria for the selection and application of

accounting policies in AASB 108 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates

and Errors; or

(b) an Australian Accounting Standard requires a change in presentation.

Goods and Services Tax (GST)Goods and Services Tax (GST)Interpretation 1031 Accounting for Goods and Services Tax (GST) provides that assets shall

be recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except where:

the amount of GST incurred by a purchaser that is not recoverable from the taxation

authority shall be recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of

an item of expense.

the interpretation provides that receivables and payables shall be stated with the

amount of GST included.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority shall be

included as part of receivables or payables in the balance sheet.

OffsettingOffsettingIncome, expenses, assets and liabilities can only be set-off where required or permitted by an

Accounting Standard, for example, AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation and

Financial Reporting Directions issued by DTF.

Commentary – Operating Statement

Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements sets out the presentation of the


The Operating Statement has been developed to be consistent with existing Government,

Departmental and Health Service sector requirements. The notes supporting this statement are

arranged to identify services supported by Health Service Agreement and those supported by

Hospital and Community Initiatives.

In developing the Operating Statement, reference has been made to the AIMS F1 return. In preparing

the Operating Statement, the Health Service should refer to the relevant classifications and

definitions in the Finance and Accounting Manual and AIMS guidelines.

The line item ‘Net Result Before Capital & Specific Items1’ must be less prominent than the line item

‘Net Result For The Period1’.

Revenues / gains should be reported as a positive amount and expenses / losses should be reported

as a negative amount (ie. in brackets).

-------------------------

(1) If there is a discontinued operation, then the headings mentioned above will have the words “From Continuing Operations”

inserted into them

Recognition of RevenueRecognition of RevenueAASB 1004 Contributions draws a distinction between reciprocal and non-reciprocal transactions. The Standard states that an entity receives a non-reciprocal transfer where assets or services are provided or liabilities extinguished without the entity directly giving approximately equal value in exchange to the other party or parties to the transfer. The revenue arising from the transfer must be recognised when the entity gains control of the transfer. It follows that a reciprocal transfer can be deferred and reported as a liability.

For a better understanding of AASB 1004, you are advised to familiarise yourself with the full text of this Standard and Hospital Circular 17/2002 and 07/2003 issued on 1 July 2002.

Note 1(ac) of these guidelines, contains a broad statement in relation to revenue recognition that each entity needs to elaborate upon, in order to fully disclose material revenue recognition policy for each revenue source.

Capital Purpose Income and Minor Works GrantsCapital Purpose Income and Minor Works GrantsAs outlined in the financial section of the AIMS Manual, capital purpose income refers to all tied grants, donations and bequests received for the purpose of acquiring non-current assets such as capital works, plant and equipment. As such these receipts should be reported as part of Capital Purpose Income in Note 2. Similarly, the cost of equipment donated by medical practitioners should also be reported under this heading.

Capital Purpose Income is further defined in section 5.6 of Chart of Accounts - Business Rules. A copy can be accessed at http://www.health.vic.gov.au/accounts/bizrules-v8-july07.doc

The Department established an annual capital equipment funding pool called Targeted Equipment Grants. From this funding pool, Health Services bid for grants towards higher-cost replacement or new items of equipment not funded under other special-purpose capital funding programs. The


3333

allocation of these grants is submission based and for the purchase of equipment only. As such funding received under this program must be reported as capital purpose income.

Non-Refundable FeesNon-Refundable FeesAccommodation bonds received by residential aged care services may relate to future services to be provided. In that instance, the accommodation bonds should be apportioned between financial years. Accommodation bonds which are deferred to future financial years should be described as deferred revenue and be classified between current and non-current liabilities.

Refundable FeesRefundable FeesThe liability which arises from refundable ingoing fees or accommodation bonds received by residential aged care services should be recorded as patients' monies held in trust and classified as current liabilities. These fees should not be classified as “Interest Bearing Liabilities”.

Reporting of Capital and Specific ItemsReporting of Capital and Specific Items

The amounts for capital and specific items (eg, depreciation, capital purpose income, Specific

Income, specific expense etc) must be the same as those reported in the supporting notes to the

Commentary – Statement of Changes in Equity

Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements sets out the presentation of

the Statement of Changes in Equity.

Information to be disclosedInformation to be disclosed

On the face of the statementOn the face of the statement

A Statement of Changes in Equity should show the following on the face of the statement:

a) profit or loss for the period;

b) each item of income and expense for the period that, as required by other Standards, is

recognised directly in equity, and the total of these items;

c) total income and expense for the period (calculated as the sum of (a) and (b)), showing

separately the total amounts attributable to equity holders of the parent and to minority

interest; and

d) for each component of equity, the effects of changes in accounting policies and

corrections of errors recognised in accordance with AASB 108 Accounting Policies,

Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors.

A Statement of Changes in Equity that comprise only these items shall be titled a Statement of Recognised Income and Expense.

Where a entity recognises actuarial gains and losses with respect to defined benefit plans outside profit or loss, the entity shall present a Statement of Recognised Income and Expense containing only the items listed above. The entity cannot present the more detailed statement as illustrated in these guidelines.

Either on the face of the statement or in the notesEither on the face of the statement or in the notes

An entity should also present, either on the face of the Statement of Changes in Equity or in the

notes to the financial statements:

a) the amounts of transactions with equity holders acting in their capacity as equity holders,

showing separately distributions to equity holders;

b) the balance of accumulated funds at the beginning of the period and at the reporting

date, and the changes during the period; and

c) a reconciliation between the carrying amount of each class of contributed equity and each

reserve at the beginning and the end of the period, separately disclosing each change.

Full reconciliation of each class of equity should be included in the equity note.

These disclosures have not been illustrated in the example on the face of the Statement of Changes in Equity. These disclosure requirements are illustrated in Note 20 in the guide.

OtherOtherChanges in a entities equity between two reporting dates reflect the increase or decrease in its

net assets during the period. Except for changes resulting from transactions with equity holders

acting in their capacity as equity holders and transaction costs directly related to such

transactions, the overall change in equity during a period represents the total amount of income

and expenses, including gains and losses, generated by the entities activities during that period

(whether those items of income and expenses are recognised in profit or loss or directly as

changes in equity).

Note that where a entity has no amounts applicable to any individual line item, that line item

should not be included in the Statement of Changes in Equity.

Commentary - Cash Flow Statement

Accounting Standards for the Cash Flow Statement are set out in AASB 107 Cash Flow Statements.The financial statements shall disclose by way of note, the policy adopted for determining which items are classified as cash in the Cash Flow Statement.

Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents Cash assets include cash on hand and cash equivalents, where;

Cash on hand means notes and coins held, and deposits held at call with a financial institution Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known

amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. The cash equivalents are restrictive as to maturity periods and risk of changes in value. A short

period to maturity generally means that an investment qualifies as a cash equivalent only when it has a maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition.

Reporting of gross or net cash flowsReporting of gross or net cash flowsGross cash inflows and outflows must be separately disclosed, except for the following items which may be reported on a net basis:

Items where the entity is, in substance, holding or disbursing cash on behalf of its customers (eg. funds held for customers by a fund manager); and

Items where turnover is quick, the amounts are large, and the maturities are short (quick turnover means that transactions occur on virtually a day-to-day basis)

Furthermore, the amounts of cash at the beginning and end of the reporting period shall be shown in the Cash Flow Statement. The cash balance as at the end of the reporting year shown in the Cash Flow Statement shall be reconciled by way of note in the financial statements to the related items in the Balance Sheet of the same reporting period.

A reconciliation of cash and net cash used in operating activities to net results must be disclosed as a note.

If entities merge or acquire entities, the cash in bank from the acquired entities will be a cash inflow to the entity. A note to the statement will be required to describe the acquisition as a non-cash transaction if no purchase amount is paid. Acquisitions that do not involve cash, for example an asset swap or liability undertaking, must be reported as a note.

Classification of cash flowsClassification of cash flowsCash flows must be classified as arising from operating, investing or financing activities, as appropriate. Other classifications are not permitted.

Interest and dividendsInterest and dividendsAs per FRD 110 Cash Flow Statements, interest paid and interest and dividends received must be classified as operating cash flows.

Capital GrantsCapital GrantsCapital appropriations from Government must be presented under “Cash Flows from Operating Activities” unless the grant is an appropriation for additions to net asset base or is formally designated to be transferred as contributed capital, in which case, it must be classified as cashflows from financing activities. Refer to FRD 110 for further details.

Goods and Services Tax (GST)Goods and Services Tax (GST)Cash flows relating to GST must be included in the Cash Flow Statement on a gross basis in accordance with AASB 107 Cash flow statements

The GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority must be, classified as operating cash flows.Additional guidance on accounting for GST is provided in Interpretation 1031 Accounting for the Goods and Services Tax (GST).

Commentary – Notes to the Financial Statements

A contents page for notes is not madatory; however it may assist readers to understand the financial report.

Content

The notes to the financial statements of an entity shall:

a) Present information about the basis of preparation of the financial report and the specific accounting policies used in accordance with paragraphs 108-115 of AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statement;

b) Disclose the information required by Australian Accounting Standards that is not presented on the face of the balance sheet, operating statement, statement of changes in equity or cash flow statement; and

c) Provide additional information that is not presented on the face of the balance sheet, operating statement, statement of changes in equity or cash flow statement, but is relevant to an understanding of any of them.

Systematic structure

Notes shall, as far as practicable, be presented in a systematic manner. Each item on the face of the balance sheet, operating statement, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement shall be cross referenced to any related information in the notes.

Notes are normally presented in the following order, which assists users in understanding the financial report and comparing them with financial reports of other entities:

a) A statement of compliance with IFRSs (refer to paragraph 14 of AASB 101);

b) A summary of significant accounting policies applied (refer to paragraph 108 of AASB 101);

c) Supporting information for items presented on the face of the balance sheet, operating statement, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement, in order in which each statement and each line item is presented; and

d) Other disclosures, including:

i. Contingent liabilities (refer to AASB 137) and unrecognised contractual commitments; and

ii. Non-financial disclosures; for example, the entity’s financial risk management objectives and policies (refer to AASB 7).

In some circumstances, it may be necessary or desirable to vary the ordering of specific items within the notes. For example, information on changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss may be combined with information on maturities of financial instruments, although the former disclosures relate to the operating statement and the latter relate to the balance sheet. Nevertheless, a systematic structure for the notes is retained as far as practicable.

30 June 200830 June 2008

(a) Statement of compliance(a) Statement of complianceThe financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared on an accrual

basis in accordance with the Financial Management Act 1994, applicable Australian Accounting

Standards (AAS), which includes the Australian accounting standards issued by the Australian

Accounting Standards Board (AASB), Interpretations and other mandatory professional

requirements.

(b) Basis of preparation(b) Basis of preparation

The financial report is prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention, except for the

revaluation of certain non-current assets and financial instruments, as noted. Cost is based on the

fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

In the application of AASs management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions

about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The

estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors

that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstance, the results of which form the basis of

making the judgments. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to

accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision

affects only that period or in the period of the revision, and future periods if the revision affects

both current and future periods.

Accounting policies are selected and applied in a manner which ensures that the resulting financial

information satisfies the concepts of relevance and reliability, thereby ensuring that the substance

of the underlying transactions or other events is reported.

The accounting policies set out below have been applied in preparing the financial report for the

year ended 30 June 2008, and the comparative information presented in these financial statements

for the year ended 30 June 2007.

(c)(c) Reporting Entity Reporting Entity

The financial report includes all the controlled activities of the ABC Health Service. The entity

is a not-for profit entity and therefore applies the additional Aus paragraphs applicable to

“not-for-profit” entities under the AAS’s.

(d)(d) Rounding Of AmountsRounding Of AmountsAll amounts shown in the financial report are expressed to the nearest $1,000 (if total assets,

or revenue, or expenses are less than $10 million, amounts must be rounded off to the

nearest dollar) unless otherwise stated.

(e)(e) Principles of ConsolidationPrinciples of ConsolidationThe assets, liabilities, incomes and expenses of all controlled entities of the ABC Health

Service have been included at the values shown in their audited Annual Financial Reports.

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by ABC Health Service, control exists when ABC Health

Service has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to

obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that presently


4343


30 June 200830 June 2008

are exercisable are taken into account. Any inter-entity transactions have been eliminated on

consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the audited financial statements

of the controlled entities listed in note 30.

(f)(f) Cash and Cash EquivalentsCash and Cash EquivalentsCash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and cash at bank, deposits at call and

highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 3 months or less, which are readily

convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to insignificant risk of changes in

value.

For the cash flow statement presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents includes bank

overdrafts, which are included as current borrowings in the balance sheet.

(g)(g) ReceivablesReceivablesTrade debtors are carried at nominal amounts due and are due for settlement within 30 days

from the date of recognition. Collectability of debts is reviewed on an ongoing basis, and

debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. A provision for doubtful debts is

raised where doubt as to collection exists. Bad debts are written off when identified.

Receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised

cost, using the effective interest rate method, less any accumulated impairment.

(h)(h) Inventories Inventories

Inventories include goods and other property held either for sale or for distribution at no or

nominal cost in the ordinary course of business operations. It includes land held for sale and

excludes depreciable assets.

Inventories held for distribution are measured at cost, adjusted for any loss of service

potential. All other inventories, including land held for sale, are measured at the lower of cost

and net realisable value.

Bases used in assessing loss of service potential for inventories held for distribution include

current replacement cost and technical or functional obsolescence. Technical obsolescence

occurs when an item still functions for some or all of the tasks it was originally acquired to do,

but no longer matches existing technologies. Functional obsolescence occurs when an item

no longer functions the way it did when it was first acquired.

Cost is assigned to land for sale (undeveloped, under development and developed) and to

other high value, low volume inventory items on a specific identification of cost basis (identify

classes).

Cost for all other inventory is measured on the basis of weighted average cost.

Inventories acquired for no cost or nominal considerations are measured at current

replacement cost at the date of acquisition.

(i)(i) Other Financial AssetsOther Financial Assets

Other financial assets are recognised and derecognised on trade date where purchase or sale

of an investment is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the investment within

the timeframe established by the market concerned, and are initially measured at fair value,

net of transaction costs.


4444


30 June 200830 June 2008

The ABC Health Service classifies its other financial assets between current and non-current

assets based on the purpose for which the assets were acquired. Management determines

the classification of its other financial assets at initial recognition.

ABC Health Service assesses at each balance sheet date whether a financial asset or group of

financial assets is impaired.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets held for trading purposes are classified as current assets and are stated at

fair value, with any resultant gain or loss recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss

recognised in profit or loss incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the financial

asset. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 23.

(omit if not applicable)

Loans and receivables

Trade receivables, loans and other receivables are recorded at amortised cost, using the

effective interest method, less impairment.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial

asset and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is

the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of

the financial asset, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.


Held-to-maturity investments

Where the entity has the positive intent and ability to hold investments to maturity, they are

stated at amortised cost less impairment losses.


Available-for-sale financial assets

Other financial assets held by the entity are classified as being available-for-sale and are

stated at fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised

directly in equity until the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, at which

time the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in equity is included in profit or loss

for the period. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 23.


(j)(j) Intangible AssetsIntangible Assets

Intangible assets represent identifiable non-monetary assets without physical substance such

as patents, trademarks, computer software and development costs (where applicable).

Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. Subsequently, intangible assets with finite

useful lives are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment

losses. Costs incurred subsequent to initial acquisition are capitalised when it is expected

that additional future economic benefits will flow to the entity.

Amortisation is allocated to intangible assets with finite useful lives on a systematic (typically

straight-line) basis over the asset’s useful life. Amortisation begins when the asset is

available for use, that is, when it is in the location and condition necessary for it to be

capable of operating in the manner intended by management. The amortisation period and


4545


30 June 200830 June 2008

the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least

at the end of each annual reporting period. In addition, an assessment is made at each

reporting date to determine whether there are indicators that the intangible asset concerned

is impaired. If so, the assets concerned are tested as to whether their carrying value exceeds

their recoverable amount.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortised, but are tested for impairment

annually or whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. The useful lives

of intangible assets that are not being amortised are reviewed each period to determine

whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life assessment

for that asset. In addition, the entity tests all intangible assets with indefinite useful lives for

impairment by comparing its recoverable amount with its carrying amount:

annually, and

whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired.

Any excess of the carrying amount over the recoverable amount is recognised as an

impairment loss.

Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortised over a 10-15 year period (2007 10-15

years).

(k)(k) Property, Plant and EquipmentProperty, Plant and EquipmentCrown Land is measured at fair value with regard to the property’s highest and best use

after due consideration is made for any legal or constructive restrictions imposed on the

asset, public announcements or commitments made in relation to the intended use of the

asset. Theoretical opportunities that may be available in relation to the asset(s) are not taken

into account until it is virtually certain that any restrictions will no longer apply.

Land and Buildings are recognised initially at cost and subsequently measured at fair value

less accumulated depreciation.

Plant, Equipment and Vehicles are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and

impairment.

Cultural, Collections, Heritage Assets and Other Non-Current Physical Assets that

the State intends to preserve because of their unique historical, cultural or environmental

attributes are measured at the cost of replacing the asset less, where applicable,

accumulated depreciation calculated on the basis of such cost to reflect the already

consumed or expired future economic benefits of the asset.

Restrictive nature of cultural and heritage assets, Crown land and infrastructures

During the reporting period, the entity may hold cultural assets, heritage assets, Crown land

and infrastructures.

Such assets are deemed worthy of preservation because of the social rather than financial

benefits they provide to the community. The nature of these assets means that there are

certain limitations and restrictions imposed on their use and/or disposal.

(l)(l) Revaluations of Non-current Physical AssetsRevaluations of Non-current Physical AssetsNon-current physical assets measured at fair value are revalued in accordance with FRD

103C. This revaluation process normally occurs every five years, as dictated by timelines in

FRD103C which sets the next revaluation to occur on 30 June 2009, or earlier should there be

an indication that fair values are materially different from the carrying value. Revaluation

increments or decrements arise from differences between an asset’s carrying value and fair

value.


4646


30 June 200830 June 2008

Revaluation increments are credited directly to the asset revaluation reserve, except that, to

the extent that an increment reverses a revaluation decrement in respect of that class of

asset previously recognised at an expense in net result, the increment is recognised as

income in the net result.

Revaluation decrements are recognised immediately as expenses in the net result, except

that, to the extent that a credit balance exists in the asset revaluation reserve in respect of

the same class of assets, they are debited directly to the asset revaluation reserve.

Revaluation increases and revaluation decreases relating to individual assets within an asset

class are offset against one another within that class but are not offset in respect of assets in

different classes.

Revaluation reserves are not transferred to accumulated funds on derecognition of the

relevant asset.

(m)(m) Investment PropertyInvestment Property

Investment properties represent properties held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or

both. Investment properties exclude properties held to meet service delivery objectives of the

State of Victoria.

Investment properties are initially recognised at cost. Costs incurred subsequent to initial

acquisition are capitalised when it is probable that future economic benefits in excess of the

originally assessed performance of the asset will flow to the entity.

Subsequent to initial recognition at cost, investment properties are revalued to fair value with

changes in the fair value recognised as income or expenses in the period that they arise. The

properties are not depreciated.

Rental revenue from the leasing of investment properties is recognised in the Operating

Statement in the periods in which it is receivable, as this represents the pattern of service

rendered through the provision of the properties.

(n)(n) Non Current Assets Classified as Held for SaleNon Current Assets Classified as Held for Sale

Non-current assets (and disposal groups) classified as held for sale are measured at the lower

of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, and are not subject to depreciation.

Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount

will be recovered through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This

condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset’s sale (or

disposal group) is expected to be completed within one year from the date of classification.

(o)(o) DepreciationDepreciationAssets with a cost in excess of $1,000 (2006-7 and 2007-8) are capitalised and depreciation

has been provided on depreciable assets so as to allocate their cost—or valuation—over their

estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Estimates of the remaining useful lives

and depreciation method for all assets are reviewed at least annually. This depreciation

charge is not funded by the Department of Human Services.

The following table indicates the expected useful lives of non current assets on which the

depreciation charges are based.

(p)(p) Impairment of AssetsImpairment of AssetsIntangible assets with indefinite useful lives (and intangible assets not yet available for use)

are tested annually for impairment (i.e. as to whether their carrying value exceeds their

recoverable amount, and so require write-downs) and whenever there is an indication that

the asset may be impaired. All other assets are assessed annually for indications of

impairment, except for (delete items if not applicable to the entity):

inventories;

assets arising from construction contracts;

assets arising from employee benefits;

deferred tax assets;

financial instrument assets;

investment property that is measured at fair value;

certain deferred acquisition costs and intangible assets arising from an insurer’s

contractual rights; and

non-current assets held for sale.

If there is an indication of impairment, the assets concerned are tested as to whether their

carrying value exceeds their possible recoverable amount. Where an asset’s carrying value

exceeds its recoverable amount, the difference is written-off by a charge to the operating

statement except to the extent that the write-down can be debited to an asset revaluation

reserve amount applicable to that class of asset.

It is deemed that, in the event of the loss of an asset, the future economic benefits arising

from the use of the asset will be replaced unless a specific decision to the contrary has been

made. The recoverable amount for most assets is measured at the higher of depreciated

replacement cost and fair value less costs to sell. Recoverable amount for assets held

primarily to generate net cash inflows is measured at the higher of the present value of

future cash flows expected to be obtained from the asset and fair value less costs to sell.

(q)(q) PayablesPayablesThese amounts consist predominantly of liabilities for goods and services.

Payables are initially recognised at fair value, then subsequently carried at amortised cost

and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the health service prior to the end

of the financial year that are unpaid, and arise when the health service becomes obliged to

make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.

The normal credit terms are usually Nett 30 days.

(r)(r) ProvisionsProvisions


4848


30 June 200830 June 2008

Provisions are recognised when the entity has a present obligation, the future sacrifice of

economic benefits is probable, and the amount of the provision can be measured reliably.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to

settle the present obligation at reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties

surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cashflows estimated to

settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cashflows.

(s)(s) Resources Provided and Received Free of Charge or for Nominal Resources Provided and Received Free of Charge or for Nominal

ConsiderationConsideration

Resources provided or received free of charge or for nominal consideration are recognised at

their fair value when the transferee obtains control over them, irrespective of whether

restrictions or conditions are imposed over the use of the contributions, unless received from

another entity or agency as a consequence of a restructuring of administrative arrangements.

In the latter case, such transfer will be recognised at carrying value. Contributions in the

form of services are only recognised when a fair value can be reliably determined and the

services would have been purchased if not donated.

(t)(t) Interest Bearing LiabilitiesInterest Bearing Liabilities

Interest bearing liabilities in the Balance Sheet are recognised at fair value upon initial

recognition. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest bearing liabilities are measured at

amortised cost with any difference between the initial recognised amount and the

redemption value being recognised in profit and loss over the period of the interest bearing

liability using the effective interest rate method. Fair value is determined in the manner

described in Note 23.

(u)(u) Functional and Presentation CurrencyFunctional and Presentation Currency

The presentation currency of the ABC Health Service is the Australian dollar, which has also

been identified as the functional currency of the entity.

(v)(v) Goods and Services Tax Goods and Services Tax Income, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the

GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as

part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included

with other receivables or payables in the balance sheet.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from

investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the taxation

authority, are presented as operating cash flow.

(w)(w) Employee BenefitsEmployee BenefitsWages and Salaries, Annual Leave, Sick Leave and Accrued Days OffLiabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave accumulating sick leave and accrued days off expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in the provision for employee benefits in respect of


4949


30 June 200830 June 2008

employee’s services up to the reporting date, classified as current liabilities and measured at nominal values.

Those liabilities that the entity are not expected to be settled within 12 months are recognised in the provision for employee benefits as current liabilities, measured at present value of the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled using the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement.

Long Service Leave

Current Liability – unconditional LSL (representing 10 or more years of continuous service) is disclosed as a current liability even where the ABC Health Service does not expect to settle the liability within 12 months because it will not have the unconditional right to defer the settlement of the entitlement should an employee take leave within 12 months.

The components of this current LSL liability are measured at:

present value – component that the ABC Health Service does not expect to settle within 12 months; and

nominal value – component that the ABC Health Service expects to settle within 12 months.

Non-Current Liability – conditional LSL (representing less than 10 years of continuous service) is disclosed as a non-current liability. There is an unconditional right to defer the settlement of the entitlement until the employee has completed the requisite years of service. Conditional LSL is required to be measured at present value.

Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using interest rates of Commonwealth Government guaranteed securities in Australia.

SuperannuationSuperannuationDefined contribution plansContributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expenses when incurred.

Defined benefit plans

The amount charged to the Operating Statement in respect of defined benefit superannuation

plans represents the contributions made by the entity to the superannuation plan in respect

of the services of current entity staff. Superannuation contributions are made to the plans

based on the relevant rules of each plan.

Employees of the ABC Health Service are entitled to receive superannuation benefits and the

ABC Health Service contributes to both the defined benefit and defined contribution plans.

The defined benefit plan(s) provide benefits based on years of service and final average

salary.

The name and details of the major employee superannuation funds and contributions made

by the ABC Health Service are as follows:

The ABC Health Service does not recognise any defined benefit liability in respect of the

superannuation plans because the entity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay future

benefits relating to its employees; its only obligation is to pay superannuation contributions

as they fall due. The Department of Treasury and Finance administers and discloses the

State’s defined benefit liabilities in its financial report.

Termination BenefitsTermination Benefits

Liabilities for termination benefits are recognised when a detailed plan for the termination

has been developed and a valid expectation has been raised with those employees affected

that the terminations will be carried out. The liabilities for termination benefits are recognised

in other creditors unless the amount or timing of the payments is uncertain, in which case

they are recognised as a provision.

On-CostsOn-Costs

Employee benefits on-costs (payroll tax, workers compensation, superannuation, annual

leave and LSL accrued while on LSL taken in service) are recognised separately from

provision for employee benefits.

(x)(x) Finance CostsFinance CostsFinance costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.

Finance costs include:

– interest on bank overdrafts and short-term and long-term borrowings;

– amortisation of discounts or premiums relating to borrowings;

– amortisation of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of

borrowings; and

– finance charges in respect of finance leases recognised in accordance with AASB 117

Leases.

30 June 200830 June 2008

(Where the Residential Aged Care Service is an internal segment of the Health Service, not

separately incorporated)1

The XXX Residential Aged Care Service operations are an integral part of the ABC Health

Service and share its resources. An apportionment of land and buildings has been made

based on floor space. The results of the two operations have been segregated based on

actual revenue earned and expenditure incurred by each operation.

The XXX Residential Aged Care has a separate Committee of Management and is

substantially funded from Commonwealth bed-day subsidies.

(Where a Residential Aged Care Service is separately incorporated a controlled entity

relationship must be assessed as per AASB 127.)

(z)(z) Joint VenturesJoint VenturesInterests in jointly controlled operations and jointly controlled assets are accounted for by

recognising in the ABC Health Service’s financial statements, its share of assets, liabilities

and any revenue and expenses of such joint ventures. Details of the joint venture are set out

in note 27.

(aa)(aa) Intersegment TransactionsIntersegment TransactionsTransactions between segments within the ABC Health Service have been eliminated to

reflect the extent of the ABC Health Service's operations as a group.

(ab)(ab) Leases Leases

Leases of property, plant and equipment are classified as finance leases whenever the terms

of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All

other leases are classified as operating leases.

Entity as lessor

Amounts due from lessees under finance leases are recorded as receivable. Finance lease

receivables are initially recorded at amounts equal to the present value of the minimum lease

payments receivable plus the present value of any un-guaranteed residual value expected to

accrue at the end of the lease tem. Finance lease payments are allocated between interest

revenue and reduction of the lease receivable over the term of the lease in order to reflect a

constant periodic rate of return on the net investment outstanding in respect of the lease.

Rental income from operating lease is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the

relevant lease.

Entity as lessee

Finance leases are recognised as assets and liabilities at amounts equal to the fair value of

the lease property or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payment, each

determined at the inception of the lease. The lease asset is depreciated over the shorter of

the estimated useful life of the asset or the term of the lease. Minimum lease payments are

allocated between the principal component of the lease liability, and the interest expense

calculated using the interest rate implicit in the lease, and charged directly to the operating

statement.

Contingent rentals associated with finance leases are recognised as an expense in the period

in which they are incurred.


5252


30 June 200830 June 2008

Operating lease payments, including any contingent rentals, are recognised as an expense in

the operating statement on a straight line basis over the lease term, except where another

systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern of the benefits derived from the

use of the leased asset.

Lease Incentives

All incentives for the agreement of a new or renewed operating lease shall be recognised as

an integral part of the net consideration agreed for the use of the leased asset, irrespective of

the incentive’s nature or form or the timing of payments.

In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives

are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefits of incentives are recognised as a

reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis, except where another systematic basis is

more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are

consumed.

The cost of leasehold improvements is capitalised as an asset and depreciated over the

remaining term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvements, whichever is

the shorter.

(ac)(ac) Income RecognitionIncome Recognition

Income is recognised in accordance with AASB 118 Revenue and is recognised as to the

extent it is earned. Unearned income at reporting date is reported as income received in

advance.

Amounts disclosed as revenue are, where applicable, net of returns, allowances and duties

and taxes.

Government GrantsGovernment Grants

Grants are recognised as income when the entity gains control of the underlying assets in

accordance with AASB 1004 Contributions. For reciprocal grants, ABC Health Service is

deemed to have assumed control when the performance has occurred under the grant. For

non-reciprocal grants, ABC Health Service is deemed to have assumed control when the grant

is received or receivable. Conditional grants may be reciprocal or non-reciprocal depending

on the terms of the grant.

Indirect ContributionsIndirect Contributions

– Insurance is recognised as revenue following advice from the Department of Human

Services.

–– Long Service Leave (LSL) – Revenue is recognised upon finalisation of movements in LSL

liability in line with the arrangements set out in the Acute Health Division Hospital

Circular 13/2008.

Patient and Resident FeesPatient and Resident Fees

Patient fees are recognised as revenue at the time invoices are raised.

30 June 200830 June 2008

Donations and bequests are recognised as revenue when received. If donations are for a

special purpose, they may be appropriated to a reserve, such as specific restricted purpose

reserve.

Dividend RevenueDividend Revenue

Dividend revenue is recognised on a receivable basis.

Interest RevenueInterest Revenue

Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes in account the

effective yield of the financial asset.

(ad)(ad) Fund AccountingFund AccountingThe ABC Health Service operates on a fund accounting basis and maintains three funds:

Operating, Specific Purpose and Capital Funds. The ABC Health Service's Capital and Specific

Purpose Funds include unspent capital donations and receipts from fund-raising activities

conducted solely in respect of these funds.

substantially funded by the Department of Human Services and includes Residential

Aged Care Services (RACS) and are also funded from other sources such as the

Commonwealth, patients and residents, while Services Supported by Hospital and

Community Initiatives (Non HSA) are funded by the Health Service's own activities or

local initiatives and/or the Commonwealth.

The available-for-sale revaluation reserve arises on the revaluation of available-for-sale

financial assets. Where a revalued financial asset is sold that portion of the reserve which

relates to that financial asset, and is effectively realised, is recognised in the operating

statement . Where a revalued financial asset is impaired that portion of the reserve which

relates to that financial asset is recognised in the operating statement.

(al)(al) Contributed CapitalContributed CapitalConsistent with Interpretation 1038 Contributions by Owners Made to Wholly-Owned Public Sector Entities and FRD 2A Contributions by Owners, appropriations for additions to the net asset base have been designated as contributed capital. Other transfers that are in the nature of contributions or distributions, that have been designated as contributed capital are also treated as contributed capital.

(am) Net Result Before Capital & Specific Items(am) Net Result Before Capital & Specific ItemsThe subtotal entitled ‘Net result Before Capital & Specific Items’ is included in the Operating Statement to enhance the understanding of the financial performance of ABC Health Service. This subtotal reports the result excluding items such as capital grants, assets received or provided free of charge, depreciation, and items of unusual nature and amount such as specific revenues and expenses. The exclusion of these items are made to enhance matching of income and expenses so as to facilitate the comparability and consistency of results between years and Victorian Public Health Services. The Net result Before Capital & Specific Items is used by the management of ABC Health Service, the Department of Human Services and the Victorian Government to measure the ongoing result of Health Services in operating hospital services.

Capital and specific items, which are excluded from this sub-total, comprise:

Capital purpose income, which comprises all tied grants, donations and bequests received for the purpose of acquiring non-current assets, such as capital works, plant and equipment or intangible assets. It also includes donations of plant and equipment (refer note 1 (s)). Consequently the recognition of revenue as capital purpose income is based on the intention of the provider of the revenue at the time the revenue is provided.

Specific income/expense, comprises the following items, where material: o Voluntary departure packageso Write-down of inventorieso Non-current asset revaluation increments/decrementso Diminution in investmentso Restructuring of operations (disaggregation/aggregation of health services)o Litigation settlementso Non-current assets lost or foundo Forgiveness of loanso Reversals of provisionso Voluntary changes in accounting policies (which are not required by an

previous impairment losses), related to non current assets only which have been recognised in accordance with note 1 (p)

Depreciation and amortisation, as described in note 1 (k) and (o)

Assets provided or received free of charge, as described in note 1 (s)

Expenditure using capital purpose income, comprises expenditure which either falls below the asset capitalisation threshold (note 1 (j) and (k), or doesn’t meet asset recognition criteria and therefore does not result in the recognition of an asset in the balance sheet, where funding for that expenditure is from capital purpose income

When an entity has not applied a new Australian Accounting Standard that has been issued but

is not yet effective, the entity shall disclose:

(a) this fact: and

(b) known or reasonably estimable information relevant to assessing the possible impact

Commentary – Note 2: Services Supported By Health Services Agreement and Services Supported By Hospital And Community Initiatives

This enables distinction to be drawn in relation to flows of funds between those relating to

activities undertaken at the behest of government and those undertaken as a result of hospital

and local community initiatives.

Refer to page 22 for guidance on classification of HSA and non-HSA transactions.

Although in some cases the distinction between the two sectors may not be immediately

apparent, health service managers should ensure that those items that are reported under each

sector are based on definitions contained in the Finance and Accounting Manual/AIMS

guidelines. Evidence will need to be available for audit purposes to substantiate the basis for

classifying items in a particular way. It is also necessary when arriving at the above

classification of revenue that full costs associated with Services Supported by Hospitals and

Community Initiatives are brought to account. For example salary overheads, asset utilisation

and administration.

Health services need to continue complying with the current reporting format to

ensure the Department can complete the AHCA Acquittal and avoid financial

penalties under the Agreement.

The main category groups are:

Internal and Restricted Specific Purposes RevenueInternal and Restricted Specific Purposes Revenue Internally Managed Specific Purpose Funds

Internally managed specific purpose funds are funds established, managed and controlled by

the Board of Management. The Board has control over every aspect of these funds including the

specific purposes for which these funds are established. Examples of internally managed specific

funds include fund-raising activities, commercial ventures (eg. shops, linen services, café, etc),

departmental fund and specific projects.

Restricted Specific Purpose Funds

These funds are established for a particular or specific purpose (that is, a restriction or

condition) through some forms of legal instrument such as a trust or legal undertaking to

comply with the condition or purpose for which the fund is established. The common types

would be donation provided to purchase a specified equipment and research grant provided for

particular field of interest.

A separate board or a separate committee normally manages the fund such as a foundation

managed by a separate board. Alternatively, this could be managed by a management auxiliary

to the health service’s Board.

The health service’s Board has no effective control on the restricted purpose SPF other than to

comply with or to implement the purpose for which the fund is set up.

Business UnitsBusiness UnitsBusiness units are Pathology Services (Diagnostic Laboratory) and Radiology Services (Medical

Imaging) are the only items that get classified as Business Units. These business units MUST be

reported under the HSA section of the revenue and expenses notes

DonationsDonationsAll donations are recognised as income when received. Where health services receive general

donations (ie. the donor has not specified conditions with respect to disbursement), these

amounts shall be recorded as income under services supported by Health Services Agreement.

For example, donations collected from the ’Accident and Emergency’ area should be recorded

under other income against acute health program. If conditions have been specified they should

be recorded as revenue under services supported by Hospital and Community Initiatives. Where

donations are received for the purpose of acquiring non-current assets such as plant and

equipment they should be reported under capital purpose income in the Operating Statement.

Patient and Resident Fees exclude recoupment from private practice. Recoupment from private practice must be reported separately.

Calculation of Patient and Resident Fees Raised

Patient and resident fees raised is calculated by adding unbilled fees for patients not discharged at year end to fees billed to date less fees accrued in the previous year. Care should be taken to ensure that fees are identified against the correct program. For example, prosthesis revenue should be included in the Acute inpatient revenue. This ensures the disclosure of patient and resident fees raised complies with this note.

Commentary – Specific Income

When a revenue from ordinary activities is of such a size, nature or incidence that its disclosure is

relevant in explaining the financial performance of the entity for the reporting period, its nature and

amount must be disclosed separately in the notes in the financial report (refer to AASB 101 (86)).

Some of the circumstances which may give rise to the separate disclosure of the nature and amount of revenues in accordance with the above paragraph include: (a) the write-down of inventories or non-current assets and, where applicable, the reversal of such

write-downs;

(b) litigation settlements;

(c) reversals of provisions;

(d) restructuring of operations;

(e) disposals of items of property, plant and equipment;

(f) disposals of investments;

(g) changes in accounting policies, other than those changes made to comply with a Standard or

an Australian Interpretation that requires initial adjustments to be recognised as a direct credit

to equity or a direct debit to equity.

Please note that DHS LSL revenue should not be reported under Specific Income. This

should be included in Note 2a under Indirect Contributions from DHS.

Commentary – Note 3: Services Supported By Health Services Agreement and Services Supported By Hospital And Community Initiatives

This enables distinction to be drawn in relation to flows of funds between those relating to

activities undertaken at the behest of government and those undertaken as a result of hospital

and local community initiatives.

Refer to page 22 for guidance on classification of HSA and non-HSA transactions.

Although in some cases the distinction between the two sectors may not be immediately

apparent, health service managers should ensure that those items that are reported under each

sector are based on definitions contained in the Finance and Accounting Manual/AIMS

guidelines. Evidence will need to be available for audit purposes to substantiate the basis for

classifying items in a particular way. It is also necessary when arriving at the above

classification of expenditure that full costs associated with Services Supported by Hospitals and

Community Initiatives are brought to account. For example salary overheads, asset utilisation

and administration.

Health services need to continue complying with the current reporting format to

ensure the Department can complete the AHCA Acquittal and avoid financial

penalties under the Agreement.

The main category groups are: Admitted Patient Services (Admitted Patients) Outpatient Services (Outpatients) Emergency Department Services (EDS) Off Campus, Ambulatory Services (Ambulatory) Mental Health Services (Mental Health) Residential Aged Care including Mental Health (RAC Mental Health), Aged Care Primary Other Services Excluded from AHCA (Other)

Descriptions of these category groups can be found on pages 65-68. References to revenue/income within the descriptions on pages 65-68 should be replaced with expenses where appropriate.

Internal and Restricted Specific Purposes RevenueInternal and Restricted Specific Purposes Revenue Internally Managed Specific Purpose Funds

Internally managed specific purpose funds are funds established, managed and controlled by

the Board of Management. The Board has control over every aspect of these funds including the

specific purposes for which these funds are established. Examples of internally managed specific

funds include fund-raising activities, commercial ventures (eg. shops, linen services, café, etc),

departmental fund and specific projects.

Restricted Specific Purpose Funds

These funds are established for a particular or specific purpose (that is, a restriction or

condition) through some forms of legal instrument such as a trust or legal undertaking to


7777


30 June 200830 June 2008

comply with the condition or purpose for which the fund is established. The common types

would be donation provided to purchase a specified equipment and research grant provided for

particular field of interest.

A separate board or a separate committee normally manages the fund such as a foundation

managed by a separate board. Alternatively, this could be managed by a management auxiliary

to the health service’s Board.

The health service’s Board has no effective control on the restricted purpose SPF other than to

comply with or to implement the purpose for which the fund is set up.

Business UnitsBusiness UnitsBusiness units are Pathology Services (Diagnostic Laboratory) and Radiology Services (Medical

Imaging) are the only items that get classified as Business Units. These business units MUST be

reported under the HSA section of the revenue and expenses notes

Repairs and MaintenanceRepairs and MaintenanceHealth services are reminded that repairs and maintenance refers to activity aimed at maintaining or returning an asset to its usual service potential. Such expenditure is recognised as an expense when it does not increase the level of economic benefits that will flow to the entity in future periods. For example, the repair cost incurred in rectifying a breakdown of an item of equipment, plant or vehicle is treated as an expense.

However, the replacement of major components of an asset may be capitalised as assets if such replacement satisfies the requirements of AASB 116, paragraphs 7 and 13.

The current recommended threshold for recognition of a non-current physical asset is $1,000 or more as per Finance and Accounting Manual – Public Hospitals, 1996 – Capitalisation Policy.

Items of Expenses and Losses Arising from Financial InstrumentsItems of Expenses and Losses Arising from Financial InstrumentsHealth services shall disclose items of expense, gains and losses either in this note or on the face of the operating statement. Please refer to AASB 7 disclosure requirements for items of expenses and losses arising from financial instruments.

When a expense from ordinary activities is of such a size, nature or incidence that its disclosure

is relevant in explaining the financial performance of the entity for the reporting period, its

nature and amount must be disclosed separately in the notes in the financial report (refer to

AASB 101 (86)).

Some of the circumstances which may give rise to the separate disclosure of the nature and amount of expenses in accordance with the above paragraph include: (a) the write-down of inventories or non-current assets and, where applicable, the reversal of

such write-downs;

(b) litigation settlements;

(c) reversals of provisions;

(d) restructuring of operations;

(e) disposals of items of property, plant and equipment;

(f) disposals of investments;

(g) changes in accounting policies, other than those changes made to comply with a

Standard or an Australian Interpretation that requires initial adjustments to be

recognised as a direct credit to equity or a direct debit to equity.

Voluntary Departure Packages/Targeted Separation PackagesVoluntary Departure Packages/Targeted Separation Packages

To be classified as an item under Specific Expenses, if their size and effect has a material impact on the results, as they effectively represent salary expenses which are an ordinary operating outgoing and result from a management decision to reduce staff rather than from some external effect. However, any payment made for long service leave which has already been provided for by way of an accrued liability should be treated as a reduction of the liability and not recorded as a specific expense.

Commentary – Depreciation and Amortisation

DepreciationDepreciationDepreciation is generally provided on a straight-line basis at rates calculated to allocate the cost

or valuation of an asset, less any estimated residual value over its estimated ‘useful life’ (refer

AASB 116 Property, Plant and Equipment). It is calculated for all controlled/owned depreciable

physical assets.

The useful lives illustrated in the guidelines are for illustrative purposes only. Entities should

specific assets.

AmortisationAmortisationAmortisation is generally provided on assets that are leased and is calculated in accordance with

AASB 117 Leases. If a entity has items such as patents, trademarks, computer software or

development expenses that are being amortised, these should be included under ‘Intangible

Assets’ (refer AASB 138 Intangible Assets).

Commentary – Finance Costs

Finance costs must be disclosed separately on the Operating Statement as per AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements and should be reported according to the requirements in AASB 123 Borrowing Costs and FRD 105 Borrowing Costs.

AASB 123 requires the immediate expensing of finance costs but allows as an alternative treatment, the capitalisation of finance costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset. However, FRD 105 limits the choice available under AASB 123 by requiring all finance costs to be expensed in the period incurred.

For the purposes of the Cash Flow Statement, cash assets includes cash on hand and in banks, and short- term deposits which are readily convertible to cash on hand, and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

Commentary – Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash Assets include cash on hand and cash equivalents, where; Cash on hand means notes and coins held, and deposits held at call with a financial

institution; and Cash equivalents means highly liquid investments with short periods to maturity which

are readily convertible to cash on hand and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

The cash equivalents are restrictive as to maturity periods, and risk of changes in value. A short period to maturity generally means that an investment qualifies as a cash equivalent only when it has a maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition.

Note: The total for line item ‘Cash for Health Service Operations’ must agree with line item

‘Cash at 30 June 2008’ in the Cash Flow Statement.

Commentary- Receivables

Receivables are to be recorded at the amounts expected to be ultimately collected in cash

and, therefore, net of any provision for bad and doubtful debts. This is to include accrued

investment income.

Receivables (DHS-Long Service Leave): Entities are required to disclose the amount of

non-cash services delivered in respect of Long Service Leave movements as set out in

Hospital Circular 13/2008 issued on 23 January 2008.

Accounting For Long Service Leave. The application of this publication would result in the

recognition of the amount of non-cash services delivered as a receivable from DHS and non-

cash revenue from services provided.

Statutory Receivables: Assets that are not contractual (such as assets that arise as a result

of statutory requirements), are not financial assets. Therefore, although these assets are

similar to financial instruments, they are in fact not within the scope of AASB 7. However,

entities who wish to apply requirements from AASB 7 to such assets may do so at their own

discretion.

Financial Instruments Disclosures

Significance of financial instruments

AASB 7 requires an entity to disclose information that enables users of financial report to

evaluate the significance of financial instruments for its financial position and performance.

Allowance account for credit losses

When financial assets are impaired by credit losses and the entity records the impairment in

a separate account rather than directly reducing the carrying amount of the asset, it shall

disclose a reconciliation of changes in that account during the period for each class of

financial assets.

Nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments

An entity shall also disclose information that enables users of its financial report to evaluate

the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments to which the entity is

exposed at the reporting date.

Commentary – Other Financial Assets

The entity can classify its other financial assets into the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, and available-for-sale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Clarification of the classification of financial assets into the four categories is prescribed by FRD114 ‘Financial Instruments – General Government Entities and Public Non Financial Corporations’.

Should a category other than available for sale be utilised, the entity must disclose in the above note the items and values for those categories used, and included appropriate disclosure in note 1(i) for example:

‘Investments held for trading purposes are classified as current assets and are stated at fair value, with any resultant gain or loss recognised in the operating statement.’

Impairment of financial assets

For impaired financial assets, an entity shall disclose:

(a) Interest income on impaired financial assets accrued in accordance with paragraph AG93 of AASB 139; and

(b) The amount of any impairment loss for each class of financial assets.

Derecognition of financial assets: An entity may have transferred financial assets in such a way that part or all of the financial assets do not qualify for derecognition (see paragraphs 15-37 of AASB 139). The entity shall disclose for each class of such financial assets:

(a) the nature of the assets;

(b) the nature of the risks and rewards of ownership to which the entity remains exposed;

(c) when the entity continues to recognise all of the asset, the carrying amounts of the asset and of the associated liability; and

(d) when the entity continues to recognise the asset to the extent of its continuing involvement, the total amount of the asset, the amount of the asset that the entity continues to recognise and the carrying amount of the associated liability.

Instead of disclosing this information in a separate note, it may be more appropriate to include such disclosures in the relevant asset notes.

Commentary - Inventories

Inventories are to be valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Inventories held for distribution are to be valued at the lower of cost and current replacement cost.

Under FRD 102 Inventories:

Land held for sale inventories must be measured on a ‘specific identification of cost’ basis.

High value, low volume inventory items must be measured on a ‘specific identification of

cost’ basis.

All other inventories must be measured using the ‘weighted average cost (WAC) formula.

An exception is allowed for the inventories of entities that prior to the date of transition to

A-IFRS were using inventory systems configured to measure such inventories using the FIFO

method. If material, inventory measured on this basis must be separately disclosed in the

entities financial report. It is expected that entities that have applied this concession to use

the FIFO method will change to the WAC method when they upgrade/replace their inventory

systems.

Paragraph 36.1 of AASB 102 Inventories, requires not-for-profit entities to disclose the following:

(a) the accounting policies adopted in measuring inventories held for distribution, including the


8888


30 June 200830 June 2008

cost formula used;

(b) the total carrying amount of inventories held for distribution and the carrying amount in

classifications appropriate to the entity;

(c) the amount of inventories held for distribution recognised as an expense during the period in

accordance with paragraph Aus34.1;

(d) the amount of any write-down of inventories held for distribution recognised as an expense

in the period in accordance with paragraph Aus34.1;

(e) the amount of any reversal of any write-down that is recognised as a reduction in the

amount of inventories held for distribution recognised as expense in the period in accordance

with paragraph Aus34.1;

(f) the circumstances or events that led to the reversal of a write-down of inventories held for

distribution in accordance with paragraph Aus34.1;

(g) the carrying amount of inventories held for distribution pledged as security for liabilities; and

(h) the basis on which any loss of service potential of inventories held for distribution is

assessed, or the bases when more than one basis is used.

The assessment of loss of service potential for inventories held for distribution is a new

measurement basis required by revised AASB 102, applicable for the reporting period beginning

on or after 1 July 2007. The AASB has provided transitional arrangement for entities applying

the new measurement basis for the first time. Under AASB 102.Aus42.1 not-for-profit entities

shall make any necessary adjustments to the opening balance of inventories held for

distribution, previously carried at the lower of cost and current replacement cost, against

opening retained earnings for the current annual reporting period. Accordingly, comparative

information is not adjusted.

Entities should classify a non-current asset (or disposal group) as held for sale if its carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. For this to be the case, the asset (or disposal group) must be available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets (or disposal groups) and its sale must be highly probable.

Land and buildings carried at valuation

The effective date of the valuation is 30/06/2007 .

Reconciliations of the carrying amounts of each class of asset for the consolidated emtity at the beginning and end of the previous and current financial year is set out below.

An independent valuation of the Health Service's land and buildings was performed by Fred Smith to determine the fair value of the land and buildings. The valuation, which conforms to Australian Valuation Standards, was determined by reference to the amounts for which assets could be exchanged between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm's length transaction. The valuation was based on independent assessments.


9595


30 June 200830 June 2008

Commentary – Property, Plant and Equipment

Land, Buildings and Cultural Assets: Subsequent to initial recognition as assets, land,

buildings and cultural assets are measured at fair value.

Crown Land: Generally accepted accounting principles suggest that Crown land should be

valued and included in the Balance Sheet of the entity occupying the land. Where control of land

is formally vested in entity, the value of the land should be recorded as a non-current asset.

However, where a entity pays an economic rental for use of the land, the land value should not

be reported as a non-current asset in the entities Balance Sheet. Where a peppercorn rental

applies or the land is not formally vested but controlled by the entity, the land should be

recognised as an asset. The date of last valuation, name and qualifications of valuer should be

included.

Plant and Equipment, Medical Equipment, Computers and Communications, Furniture

and Fittings and Motor Vehicles: These are measured at cost.

Valuation of Library Books & Technical Data (Material): Library books should be valued at

cost and a depreciation charge calculated on a straight-line basis.

Impairment: Property, plant and equipment measured on the fair value basis should also be

tested for impairment. Refer to AASB 136 Impairment of Assets for further details.

Expenditures recognised in assets under construction

AASB 116 requires disclosure of the amount of expenditure recognised in the carrying amount of

an item of property, plant and equipment in the course of its construction. Where assets under

construction are not identified as an asset class, separate disclosure is required.

Restrictive Nature of Assets

There may be restrictions on the use and/or disposal of cultural and heritage assets, Crown land

and infrastructure. Disclosure should be made to identify those assets that are subject to

restrictions and the nature of those encumbrances/restrictions.

Commentary – Intangible Assets

FRD 109 Intangibles requires all intangible assets to be recognised on a cost basis. Refer to FRD 109 for further details on recognition of intangible assets.

Research Activities

AASB 138 Intangible Assets prohibits the recognition of research activities as an asset and requires them to be expensed as incurred.

Impairment of Intangible Assets

Entities should disclose information on impaired intangible assets in accordance with AASB 136 Impairment of Assets in addition to the information required by AASB 138 Intangible Assets.

Capitalisation Threshold

FRD 109 requires expenditure on intangibles to be capitalised only if the amount involved meets the capitalisation threshold that is material to the entity (refer AASB 1031 Materiality for guidance on materiality). In addition, an entity should consider the following in determining the capitalisation threshold:

the impact of the capitalisation threshold on the Operating Statement and Balance Sheet, taking into consideration the pattern of investment and that an intangible asset may have a relatively short useful life (e.g. useful life of software is usually only 3-5 years); and

the administrative burden of conducting annual impairment tests of intangible assets.

Additional disclosures for intangible assets acquired by way of government grant and

initially recognised at fair value

For intangible assets acquired by way of a government grant and initially recognised at fair value, a entity shall disclose:

(a) the fair value initially recognised for these assets;(b) their carrying amount; and(c) whether they are measured after recognition under the cost model or the revaluation

model.

Intangible assets measured after revaluation using the revaluation model

If intangible assets are accounted for at revalued amounts, an entity shall disclose the following:

(a) by class of intangible assets:

i. the effective date of the revaluation;ii. the carrying amount of revalued intangible assets; andiii. the carrying amount that would have been recognised had the revalued class of

intangible assets been measured after recognition using the cost model;

(b) the amount of the revaluation reserve that relates to intangible assets at the beginning and end of the period, indicating the changes during the period and any restrictions on the distribution of the balance to shareholders; and

(c) the methods and significant assumptions applied in estimating the assets’ fair values.

Notwithstanding (a)(iii) (above), in respect of not-for-profit entities, for each revalued class of intangible assets, the requirements to disclose the carrying amount that would have been recognised had the assets been carried under the cost model does not apply.

Commentary – Investment Properties

Entities should disclose the methods and significant assumptions applied in determining the fair

value of investment property, including a statement whether the determination of fair value was

supported by market evidence or was more heavily based on other factors (disclose these factors)

because of the nature of the property and lack of comparable market data.

Entities are required to disclose the extent to which the fair value of investment property is based

on a valuation by an independent valuer who holds a recognised and relevant professional

qualification and has recent experience in the location and category of the investment property

being valued. If there has been no such valuation, that fact shall be disclosed

Properties held by not-for-profit entities to meet service delivery objectives are not investment

properties and must be classified as property, plant and equipment. The reason for classifying a

property that would otherwise satisfy the definition of investment property as property, plant and

equipment must be documented and approved by the entities Responsible Body (FRD 107

Investment Properties).

After recognition, investment properties must be measured using the fair value model unless prior

written approval from the Minister for Finance has been obtained to use the cost model.

100100


30 June 200830 June 2008

Payables are to include payables for supplies and services, capital expenditure and interest

accrued.

The disclosure of payables should include the following:

Classification of the outstanding debts into ageing periods.

Public borrowing or financial accommodation transactions must be clearly indicated.

Secured liabilities and the nature of the security.

Financial Instrument Disclosures

Significance of financial instruments

AASB 7 requires an entity to disclose information that enables users of financial report to evaluate

the significance of financial instruments for its financial position and performance.

Nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments

An entity shall also disclose information that enables users of its financial report to evaluate the

nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments to which the entity is exposed at the

reporting date.

Financial Guarantee

An entity shall disclose the fair value of any financial guarantee that it provides to third parties,

should the fair value of the liability become greater than zero either as part of this note for

payables or in the note for other payables.

Statutory Payables: Liabilities that are not contractual (such as liabilities that arise as a result of

statutory requirements), are not financial liabilities. Therefore, these liabilities though may seem

to be financial instruments, in fact are not within the scope of AASB 7. However, entities who wish

to apply requirements from AASB 7 to such liabilities at their own discretion.

Commentary – Interest Bearing Liabilities

Interest bearing liabilities include short and long term Government Bonds, Medium Term

Notes and Finance Leases.

The State’s interest bearing liabilities are to represent funds raised from the following

sources:

Loans raised by the Commonwealth on behalf of the State.

Public domestic and overseas borrowing via the Treasury Corporation of Victoria; and

Private and public domestic borrowing.

(Note: all borrowings require prior approval from the Treasurer)

Refer to AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement for the recognition

and measurement criteria of financial instruments.

Overseas borrowings are to be translated at exchange rates prevailing at balance date unless

they are subject to forward exchange contracts where the contract rate is used or where

hedging strategies are in place.

Exchange gains or losses are to be included in the Operating Statement in the period in which

they arise.

Finance leases: the obligations under such leases are to be capitalised at the fair value of

the leased asset, or if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments, each

determined at the inception of the lease. The capitalised values are to be amortised over the

period in which the entities expect to receive benefits from their use.

The disclosure of interest bearing liabilities should include the following:

Classification of the outstanding debts into ageing periods.

Public borrowing or financial accommodation transactions must be clearly indicated.

Secured liabilities and the nature of the security.

Commentary – Provisions

A provision is a present legal, equitable or constructive obligation to make a sacrifice of future

economic benefits to other entities as a result of past transactions and the amount or timing of

the sacrifice of future benefits is uncertain.

A brief description of the nature of the present obligation and any significant uncertainties about

each class of provisions must be disclosed (including relevant major assumptions about future

events). Amounts of any expected recovery related to each class of provision must also be

disclosed.


104104


30 June 200830 June 2008

AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets defines provisions as ‘liabilities

of uncertain timing or amount’. AASB 137 indicates provisions can be distinguished from other

liabilities such as trade payables and accruals because there is uncertainty about the timing or

amount of the future expenditure required in settlement. Although it is sometimes necessary to

estimate the amount or timing of accruals, the uncertainty is generally much less than for

provisions.

Provisions exist when:

the entity has a present legal or constructive obligation to make a sacrifice of future

economic benefits to other entities as a result of past transactions or past events;

the amount or timing of the sacrifice of future economic benefits is uncertain;

it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to

settle the obligation; and

a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

A present value approach is required to the measurement of provisions where the effect of the

time value of money is material. A best estimate of the consideration required to settle the

present obligation as at the reporting date may be required.

For each class of provisions, the following must be disclosed:

a brief description of the nature of the obligation and the expected timing of any resulting

outflows of economic benefits;

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 48 of AASB 137; and

the amount of any expected reimbursement, stating the amount of any asset that has been

recognised for that expected reimbursement.

Refer to AASB 137 for further guidance.

Commentary - Employee Benefits

AASB 119 Employee Benefits sets out the reporting requirements for employee benefits.

Employee benefits include long service leave, accrued wages and salaries, annual leave,

accrued days off, post employment benefits and termination benefits. On-costs such as

WorkCover and superannuation provision should be included in the calculation of leave

provisions.

Provision is made in the accounts for obligations in respect of long service leave and annual

leave entitlements not taken at balance date. The amounts are to be accrued annually at

remuneration rates expected to apply when the obligation is settled, that is the expected future

increase in remuneration rate and comply with the requirements of AASB 119.

FRD 17A ‘Long Service Leave Wage Inflation and Discount Rates’ permits agencies to use other

wage inflation rates in the calculation of LSL where agencies can clearly demonstrate that for

industry-specific reasons, the use of the alternative rates will result in more relevant and reliable

LSL calculations. It is currently envisaged that the Department will not provide the industry-

specific rates to entities and payroll bureaus as it has done in previous years, and that the DTF

defined rate will be applied.

All staff, including S.97 staff, are deemed to be employees of the entity whether employed

directly or indirectly. As such all employee benefits are to be accrued by the entity.

Long Service LeaveLong Service Leave

Long service leave provisions are reported as current and non-current liabilities.

A current provision is any LSL that the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer the

settlement of the entitlement should an employee take leave. This represents 10 or more years

of continuous service. The current provision for LSL has 2 parts, the first being the part which is

expected to settle within 12 months and measured at nominal value and the second being that

which is expected to settle after 12 months and which is measured at present value

A non-current provision is any LSL that the entity has an unconditional right to defer the

settlement of the entitlement until 10 years of service has been completed by the employee and

is measured at present value.

Accrued Wages and Salaries, Annual Leave and Accrued Days OffAccrued Wages and Salaries, Annual Leave and Accrued Days Off

Provisions for employee entitlements are reported as a liability in the Balance Sheet with details

disclosed in a note. The liability is calculated on what is owed at 30 June.

Sick LeaveSick Leave

A current liability should only be recognised if it is probable that sick leave expected to be taken

in future reporting periods will be greater than entitlements which are expected to accrue in

those periods.

Commentary – Equity

Contributed CapitalContributed CapitalTransfers between wholly-owned public sector entities and the Victorian State Government or

another entity that is wholly-owned and controlled by the Government must be classified and

recognised as contributed capital when they satisfy the definition of ’contribution by owners’.

Contributed capital can also be recognised after two or more entities have amalgamated to form

a new entity.

FRD 2A ‘Contributions by Owners’ provides guidance and clarification on the application of

paragraph 7(c) of Interpretation 1038 ‘Contributions by Owners to Wholly-Owned Public Sector

Entities’.

Restricted Purpose FundsRestricted Purpose FundsGenerally restricted specific purpose reserves are funds where agencies have possession or title

to the funds but have no discretion to amend or vary the restriction and/or condition underlying

the funds. The common examples are funds established with external control (separate board),

restricted purpose donations, trust fund or bequest with conditions and auxiliary funds

(separately incorporated and managed). The guidelines on the establishment and identification

of restricted purpose funds are contained in the Guidelines for the Identification and

Establishment of Specific Purpose Funds. These guidelines are located at DHS website:

http://www.health.vic.gov.au/spfunds/spfund.pdf

Treatment of Accumulated DepreciationTreatment of Accumulated DepreciationAASB 116 Property, Plant and Equipment permits a entity to account for the accumulated

depreciation at the date of the revaluation either by:·

increasing proportionately the accumulated depreciation balance with the increase in the

gross carrying amount of the asset so that the net carrying amount of the asset after

revaluation equals its revalued amount (gross approach); or·

eliminating the accumulated depreciation balance against the gross carrying amount of

the asset and increasing the net carrying amount to the revalued amount of the asset

(net approach).

To ensure consistency on a whole-of-state reporting basis, FRD 103C Non-current Physical

Assets requires, entities to account for the accumulated depreciation at the date of the

revaluation by applying the net approach.

Information must be disclosed about non-cash transactions and other events which affect assets

and liabilities that have been recognised in the financial statements, where the transactions and

other events:

involve external parties; and

relate to the financing or investing activities of the health service.

Other examples of transactions or events that would require disclosure under paragraph 44 of

The ABC Health Service is exposed to insignificant foreign currency risk through its payables relating to purchases of supplies and consumables from overseas. This is because of a limited amount of purchases denominated in foreign currencies and a short timeframe between commitment and settlement.

Exposure to interest rate risk might arise primarily through the ABC Health Service's interest bearing liabilities. Minimisation of risk is achieved by mainly undertaking fixed rate or non-interest bearing financial instruments. For financial liabilities, the health service mainly undertake financial liabilities with relatively even maturity profiles.

Taking into account past performance, future expectations, economic forecasts, and management's knowledge and experience of the financial markets, the ABC Health Service believes the following movements are 'reasonably possible' over the next 12 months (Base rates are sourced from the Federal Bank of Australia)

The following table discloses the impact on net operating result and equity for each category of financial instrument held by ABC Health Service at year end as presented to key management personnel, if changes in the relevant risk occur.

Commentary - Financial Instruments

Significant accounting policies

In accordance with paragraph 109 of AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, an entity

discloses, in the summary of significant accounting policies, the measurement basis (or bases)

used in preparing the financial report and the other accounting policies that are relevant to an

understanding of the financial report.

The newly applicable AASB 7, requires comprehensive disclosure requirements for financial

instruments including, but not limited to, the following:

(a)the measurement basis (bases) and the criteria used to determine classification for

different types of financial instruments;

(b) the movement in fair value for financial instruments classified as fair value through profit

or loss;

(c) an entity’s objectives, policies and processes for managing capital; and

(d) the qualitative and quantitative disclosures for each type of risk (e.g.: credit risk, liquidity

risk, and market risk) that the entity is exposed to.

Nature and extent of risk disclosures

AASB 7 requires that an entity provides qualitative and quantitative disclosures for each type of

risk arising from financial instruments.

An entity shall disclose information that enables users of its financial report to evaluate the

nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments to which the entity is exposed at the

reporting date.

Qualitative disclosure

For each type of risk arising from financial instruments, an entity shall disclose:

(a) the exposures to risk and how they arise;

(b) its objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk and the methods used to

measure the risk; and

(c) any changes in (a) or (b) from the previous reporting period.

Quantitative disclosure

For each type of risk arising from financial instruments, an entity shall disclose:

(a) summary quantitative data about its exposure to that risk at the reporting date. This

disclosure shall be based on the information provided internally to key management

personnel of the entity (as defined by AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures); and

(b) specific disclosures as required for each type of risk (see credit, liquidity and market

risks), to the extent not provided in (a), unless the risk is not material

Disclosures in this model only cover credit, liquidity and market risk. Entities should

consider whether there may be other type of risks that they may need to disclose,

specific to their own circumstances.


119119


30 June 200830 June 2008

Credit risk exposuresIn addition to the required quantitative disclosures above, an entity shall disclose:

(a) the amount that best represents its maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting

date without taking account of any collateral held or other credit enhancements (e.g.

netting agreements that do not qualify for offset in accordance with AASB 132), either in

narrative or tabular format;

(b) in respect of the amount disclosed in (a), a description of collateral held as security and

other credit enhancements;

(c) information about the credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due nor

impaired; and

(d) the carrying amount of financial assets that would otherwise be past due or impaired

whose terms have been renegotiated.

Financial assets that are either past due or impaired

An entity shall disclose by class of financial asset:

(a) an analysis of the age of the financial assets that are past due as at the reporting date

but not impaired;

(b) the amount of any impairment loss

(c) an analysis of financial assets that are individually determined to be impaired as at the

reporting date, including the factors the entity considered in determining that they are

impaired; and

(d) for the amounts disclosed in (a) and (b), a description of collateral held by the entity as

security and other credit enhancements and, unless impracticable, an estimate of their

fair value.

Collateral and other credit enhancements obtained

When an entity obtains financial or non-financial assets during the period by taking possession of

collateral it holds as security or calling on other credit enhancements (e.g. guarantees), and such

assets meet the recognition criteria in other Australian Accounting Standards, an entity shall

disclose:

(a) the nature and carrying amount of the assets obtained; and

(b) when the assets are not readily convertible into cash, its policies for disposing of such

assets or for using them in its operations.

Consolidated Carrying Amount

The consolidated carrying amount is required to be sub-classified according to the following

three categories:

- Not Past Due and Not Impaired

- Past Due but Not Impaired

- Impaired Financial Assets

Liquidity risk exposuresAn entity shall disclose:

(a) a maturity analysis for financial liabilities that shows the remaining contractual maturities; and

(b) a description of how it manages the liquidity risk inherent in (a).

The amounts disclosed in the maturity analysis are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

Market risk exposures

Market risk comprises of foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, and other price risk.

Unless an entity prepares a sensitivity analysis, such a value-at-risk (VaR), that reflects

interdependencies between risk variables (e.g. interest rates and exchange rates) and uses it to


120120


30 June 200830 June 2008

manage financial risks, an entity shall disclose:

(a) a sensitivity analysis for each type of market risk to which the entity is exposed at the

reporting date, showing how profit or loss and equity would have been affected by

changes in the relevant risk variable that were reasonably possible at that date;

(b) the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis; and

(c) changes from the previous period in the methods and assumptions used, and the reasons

for such changes.

Carrying amount and fair value disclosure

If management considers that the carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities

recorded in the financial report does not approximate fair vales for each class of financial asset

or financial liability, an entity shall disclose the fair value of that class of assets and liabilities in a

way that permits it to be compared with the corresponding carrying amount in the balance

sheet. (AASB 139 provides guidance for determining fair value)

If changes in fair value have been estimated using a valuation technique, entities are required to

disclose the resulting total amount of changes in fair value that was recognised in net operating

result during the period.

Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss

If the entity has designated a loan or receivable as at fair value through profit or loss, it shall

disclose:

(a) the maximum exposure to credit risk of the loan or receivable at the reporting date;

(b) the amount by which any related credit derivatives or similar instruments mitigate that

maximum exposure to credit risk;

(c) the amount of change, during the period and cumulatively, in the fair value of the loan or

receivable that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of the financial asset

determined either:

o as the amount of change in its fair value that is not attributable to changes in market

conditions that give rise to market risk; or

o using an alternative method the entity believes more faithfully represents the amount of

change in its fair value that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of the asset;

o Changes in market conditions that give rise to market risk include changes in an observed

(benchmark) interest rate, commodity price, foreign exchange rate or index of prices or

rates; and

(d) The amount of change in the fair value of any related credit derivatives or similar

instruments that has occurred during the period and cumulatively since the loan or

receivable was designated.

Commentary – Commitments for ExpenditureAll amounts shown in the commitments note are nominal amounts inclusive of GST.

Commitments disclosed are to include those operating and capital commitments arising from

non-cancellable contractual or statutory obligations and any finance lease liabilities.

Finance LeasesFinance leases transfer to the entities, as lessees, substantially all the risks and rewards

incidental to the ownership of a leased asset. The obligations under such leases are to be

capitalised at the fair value of the leased asset, or if lower, the present value of the minimum

lease payments, each determined at the inception of the lease. The capitalised values are to be

amortised over the period in which the entities expect to receive benefits from their use.

Operating Leases

Operating leases, where the lessors substantially retain the risks and rewards of ownership, are

to be recognised as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term unless another

systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern of the user’s benefit. The cost of

leasehold improvements is to be capitalised and amortised over the remaining term of the lease

or estimated useful life of the improvements, whichever is the shorter.

For both Operating and Finance Leases a general description (at end of note) of the lessee's

leasing arrangements including, but not limited to the following:

the basis on which contingent rental payments are determined;

the existence and terms of renewal or purchase options and escalation clauses; and

restrictions imposed by lease arrangements, such as those concerning dividends,

additional debts and further leasing.

If it is an Operating Lease, the following expenses need to be disclosed if applicable:

Rental expense recognised in the year

Represented by:

Minimum lease payments

Contingent rentals

Rental expenses/revenues arising from sub-leases

If it is a Finance Lease, the following needs to be disclosed if applicable:

Contingent rentals recognised as expenses in the year

Future minimum lease payments expected to be received on non-cancellable sub leases.

Other Commitments

These can include:

Operating commitments, which are commitments under contracts for operating

expenditure (excluding operating lease liabilities) outstanding at reporting date but not

recognised as liabilities.

Outsourcing human resources at the reporting date but not recognised as liabilities.

Remuneration commitments, where there are long-term employment contracts with

employees under which the entity is committed to pay salaries and other remuneration

benefits and is obligated to pay out the residual of the contracted amount or some other

amount, other than accrued employee entitlements, in the event the employment of an

individual is terminated by either party.

A contingency includes a possible asset/liability, the existence of which is likely to have a

material effect on the Balance Sheet, and will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-

occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity.

Material contingent liabilities and assets are NOT recognised in the Balance Sheet. They are

recorded at the point at which the contingency is evident. Disclosures required in the financial

report for each class of contingent asset/liability include:

A brief description of the nature of the class of contingent liabilities or class of contingent

assets

An indication of the uncertainties relating to the amount or timing of any future sacrifice or

inflow of economic benefits

An estimate of the potential financial effect, or statement that it is not practicable to make

such an estimate

The extent to which material contingent assets and contingent liabilities are secured must also

be disclosed.

Financial Guarantee

Entities are encouraged to disclose the underlying nominal amounts of any loan, for which it

provided financial guarantees, in this note under contingent liabilities.

Commentary - Segment Reporting

Entities that provide Commonwealth funded residential aged care services (RACS) are required

to comply with AASB 114 Segment Reporting (Refer to s21.26F para 3e Residential Care Subsidy

Amendment Principles 2005 (No. 1) ) as a condition of receiving the Commonwealth's

Conditional Adjustment Payments. The level of reporting required is at the Approved Provider

(entity) level, not at individual service level, and entities are required to report as if for-profit.

AASB 114 requires a primary reporting format for segment information about the predominant

source and nature of the entity’s risks and returns and a secondary reporting format for

segment information about the non-predominant source and nature of the entity’s risks and

returns.

AASB 114 requires the disclosure of financial information about the business segments and

geographical segments. It requires disclosure of information about the different types of

products and services an entity provides and the different geographical areas in which it

operates. For entities, the primary reporting segment information is business segments and the

secondary reporting format is geographical segment. Entities are not required to provide a

detailed disclosure for geographical segments, however, the Standard does require some

disclosure to be made. The level of reporting required for geographical segments is illustrated in

the note above.

Business segments are distinguishable components of the entity, not necessarily separately

incorporated. If separate incorporation exists, a subsidiary relationship must be assessed as

per AASB 127.

Entities are required to disclose the financial results of the segments in the notes to the financial

statements. Entities should determine their own business segments based on the guidance of

AASB 114 and in consultation with their Auditor. In order to satisfy the Commonwealth’s RACS

funding requirements RACS must be reported as a segment.

Some examples of other business segments could be linen services, mental health facilities,

catering, car park, diagnostic imaging and other material distinguishable components applicable

to the health services, which meet the requirements of paragraph 35 of AASB 114.

The reporting requirements in AASB 114 form the minimum level of disclosure in respect of each

segment. The materiality of a segment to the reporting entity can be measured in terms of

revenue, surplus/deficit and assets employed. On that basis, only material segments warrant

disclosure by the entity. However, if total external segment revenue attributable to reportable

segments is less than 75% of the total consolidated or entity revenue, additional segments to

RACS should be identified as reportable segments even if they do not meet the 10% thresholds

in paragraph 35 of AASB 114, until at least 75% of the total consolidated or entity revenue is

included in reportable segments.

Entities should be cognisant of paragraphs 47 and 48 of AASB 114 in determining the way in

which asset, liability, revenue, and expense items are allocated to segments.

It is not expected that business segments results identified under AASB 114, would necessarily

correlate to the results for output groups identified in note 2.

Any inter-segment transactions should be eliminated in order to avoid double counting.

Commentary - Responsible Person Related Disclosures

FRD 21A Responsible Person and Executive Officer Disclosures in the Financial Report require as

notes, details of transactions between the Responsible Persons of an entity, or a Responsible

person related party, and the entity. Responsible Persons of entities are the responsible

Minister, Accountable Officer and Board members including anyone acting during the year.

Responsible PersonResponsible PersonThe Act requires "... Responsible Person's remuneration, in bands of $10,000 listing the number

of Responsible persons whose actual remuneration for the period falls within each band."

The responsible Minister for all public health services is the Minister for Health who does not

have a remuneration paid by the entity. However, if any other transactions between the entity

and the Minister exist they must be reported.

The Accountable Officer for a entity is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The remuneration of a

CEO is reported Remuneration of Responsible Persons.

CEO's must disclose total remuneration received including access to motor vehicles,

superannuation and other entitlements by way of salary package. Any other transactions of a

remuneration nature between the entity and the CEO must be reported.

All transactions between Board members, their related parties and the entity must be reported.

Employees of the entity and VMOs, for example doctors who are members of the governing

Board must disclose, under other transactions, that these doctors are in receipt of remuneration

for clinical services provided and not for their role on the Board.

Executive OfficerExecutive Officer"An executive officer includes a person employed as an executive officer at an annual

remuneration rate not less than an executive employed by a department." (FRD21A Responsible

Person and Executive Officer Disclosures in the Financial Report).

For disclosure purposes, entities are required to include as Executive Officers the following:

(officers on remuneration packages in excess of $100,000).

Deputy CEO; and

Other administration officers including:

– Director of Medical Services

– Director of Nursing

– Directors of Services within the entity including business units.

Remuneration includes all benefits received or receivable. Accordingly, remuneration needs to

be determined on an accrual basis. Base remuneration (amounts paid or payable during the

reporting period excluding bonuses, redundancy payments, long service leave and retirement

benefits) must be separately disclosed from total remuneration. Where the difference between

base and total remuneration is material, the reason for the variance should be supported by

explanatory commentary.

Disclosure is required of the number of executive officers whose total remuneration for the year

falls within each successive $10,000 band, commencing at $100,000. However, in accordance

with FRD 21, the base remuneration of executive officers should be disclosed separately. This

will require disclosure of the number of executives whose base remuneration is less than

$100,000, but their total remuneration is greater than this amount. It does not require

disclosure by name. Where a Responsible Person already has a remuneration disclosed it does

not need to be duplicated under Executive Officers disclosures.

Doctors should not be included unless they are involved in the executive and management

functions of the entity. Where doctors are included the total remuneration must include

payments from Special Trust funds under the control of the reporting entity.

Note 29: Events Occurring after the Balance Sheet Date

(a) the nature of the event; and(b) an estimate of its financial effect, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made.

Disclose the following for each material category of non- adjusting event after the reporting date:

Commentary - Events Occurring after the Balance Sheet Date

Non-adjusting events after reporting date

A non-adjusting event is an event that is indicative of conditions that arose after the reporting

date. For examples of non-adjusting events refer to AASB 110 Events after the Balance Sheet

Date.

Updating disclosures about conditions at the reporting date

If a entity receives information after the reporting date about conditions that existed at the

reporting date, it shall update disclosures that relate to these conditions, in light of the new

information. For example, if evidence becomes available after the reporting date about a

contingent liability that existed at the reporting date, in addition to considering whether to

recognise or change a provision under AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and

Contingent Assets, the entity should update its disclosures about the contingent liability in light

of the evidence.

XYZ Holdings Pty Ltd trading as ABC Hospital Australia 100%

EFG Hospital Foundation Limited as trustee for EFF Foundation Trust Funds

Commentary - Controlled Entity

A controlled entity refers to a separately incorporated entity in which the decision-making

capacity is dominated directly or indirectly by the reporting entity in relation to financial and

operating policies of the entity so as to enable the entity to operate under those policies in

pursuing the objectives of the reporting entity. A common form of control within the pubic

hospital industry is the capacity of the reporting entity to dominate the composition of the

board of directors or governing board of another entity (Refer AASB 127 Consolidated and

Separate Financial Statements).

Disclosure of controlled entities

Paragraph AUS42.1 of AASB 127 requires the identity and certain details of controlled entities

to be disclosed. The concept of materiality in AASB 1031 applies to these disclosure

requirements, and in some circumstances disclosures may not be necessary because they are

not material.

Note 31: Economic Dependency

(a) the name of the entity on which there is an economic dependency; and(b) the nature of that economic dependency.

An entity dependent on another entity for a significant volume of revenue or financial support and that dependency is not clearly discernible from a separate line item in the income statement or the balance sheet shall disclose:

* If this note is applicable, then becomes note 2

Commentary - Discontinued Operations

A restructuring, transaction or other event must be reported as a discontinued operation when,

and only when, it meets the definition of a discontinued operation in accordance with AASB 5

Non-Current Assets held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.

A discontinued operation is a component of an entity that

(a) either has been disposed of or is classified as held-for-sale and represents a separate

major line of business or geographical area of operations;

(b) is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or

geographical area of operations; or

(c) is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.

A component of an entity comprises operations and cash flows that can be clearly

distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the rest of the entity. In

other words, a component of an entity will have been a cash-generating unit or a group of

cash-generating units while being held for use.

Changing the scope of an operation or the manner in which it is conducted does not result in a

discontinuing operation, because that operation although changing is continuing. An example

is the outsourcing activities previously conducted internally.

Refer to AASB 5 Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations for further

detail.

Note 33: Correction of error and revision of estimates

Correction of error

(Disclose the following:(a) the nature of the prior period error.(b) for each prior period presented, to the extent practicable, the amount of the correction for each financial statement line item affected.(c) the amount of the correction at the beginning of the earliest prior period presented, and (d) if retrospective restatement is impracticable for a particular prior period, the circumstances that led to an existence of that condition and a description of how and from when the error has been corrected.)

The error has been corrected by restating each of the affected financial statement line items for the prior year(s), as described above.

Revision of estimates

(Disclose the nature and amount of a change in accounting estimate that has an effect in the current period or is expected to have an effect in future periods, except for the disclosure of the effect on future periods when it is impracticable to estimate the effect. If the amount of the effect in future periods is not disclosed because estimating it is impracticable, that fact shall be disclosed.)

* If this note is applicable, then becomes note 2 (if there is no discontinued operation), if there is a discontinued operation then becomes note 3

Correction of error and revision of estimates

Prior Period Errors

Under AASB 108 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, entities are

required to correct material prior period errors retrospectively in the first financial report

authorised for issue after their discovery by:

restating the comparative amounts for the prior period(s) presented in which the error

occurred, or

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.

A prior period error shall be corrected by retrospective restatement except to the extent that it is

impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the error.

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.

When it is impracticable to determine the period-specific effects of an error on comparative

information for one or more prior periods presented, the entity should restate the opening

balances of assets, liabilities and equity for the earliest period for which retrospective

restatement is practicable (which may be the current period).

When it is impracticable to determine the cumulative effect, at the beginning of the current

period, of an error on all prior periods, the entity should restate the comparative information to

correct the error prospectively from the earliest date practicable.

In applying paragraph above, an entity shall disclose the following:

(a) the nature of the prior period error

(b) for each prior period presented, to the extent practicable, the amount of the

correction:

o for each financial statement line item affected; and

o if AASB 133 Earnings per share applies to the entity, for basic and diluted earnings

per share.

(c) the amount of the correction at the beginning of the earliest period presented; and

(d) if retrospective restatement is impracticable for a particular prior period, the

circumstances that led to the existence of that condition and a description of how

and from when the error has been corrected.

Financial reports of subsequent periods need not repeat these disclosures.
