Agency Performance

Report on Operations

FMA sec 61(1)(c) TI 903(8)

Commentary: The Report on Operations must be prepared in accordance with section 61(1)(c) of the FMA and TI 903. Include a brief discussion of agency performance, including references to key achievements and other key highlights about agency performance during the year. A brief discussion of the reason(s) for any material variations between actual performance and the targets specified in the agency’s resource agreement, budget statements, statement of corporate intent or any equivalent document should also feature in this section, as well as the impact of any external factors. Include any narrative necessary to explain the results and describe the agency’s performance, including any material variations and the impact of any external factors.

TI 808(4) Statutory authorities submitting resource agreements as part of the annual budget process are required to apply TI 808 Resource Agreements and encouraged to use a format similar to that shown in the Guidelines. Agencies may modify the content in the tables below according to the agency’s structure and reporting needs.

Actual Results versus Budget Targets

Variation(2)

$000 Total cost of services (expense limit) (sourced from Statement of Comprehensive Income) 804,482 799,899 (4,583)(a) Net cost of services (sourced from Statement of Comprehensive Income) 773,708 766,798 (6,910)(b)

Agreed borrowing limit (where applicable) 5,720 5,675 (45)

(1) As specified in the Budget Statements. (2) Further explanations are contained in Note 45 ‘Explanatory statement’ to the financial statements.

(a) The variation is mainly due to implementing tighter cost controls ($14,593,000), which was partially offset by additional costs ($11,220,000) in hiring consultants to deliver services.

(b) In addition to the explanation above regarding expenses, the variation was mainly due to an increase in user charges and fees, and sales revenue ($2,050,000) as a result of better than expected demand.

(c) The variation is mainly due to a greater than expected asset revaluation increments for land and buildings ($60,000,000) and infrastructure ($40,000,000).

(d) The variation arose due to a number of vacancies occurring through secondment and attrition remaining unfilled through the second half of the reporting period ($2,243,000).

Commentary: The agreed borrowing limit is the total borrowings authorised by the Treasurer during, or subsequent to the budget process, due to the impact on the State’s Net Debt. Accountable authorities should refer to TI 822 to determine their borrowing limit.

Investment Program milestone payments due early in the first month of the successive reporting period. Cash held for milestone payments is excluded from this target.

(f) The variation is mainly due to [insert narrative]. Commentary:

The Target Working Cash Limit at Budget is calculated by multiplying 5% by budgeted recurrent payments (total operating and financing). The Agreed Working Cash Limit was subsequently revised at Mid-Year Review when predicted reductions in salary expenses resulted in a contraction of the agreed limit. Further information on the Working Cash Target may be found in the Cash Management Policy (2007) at: http://www.treasury.wa.gov.au/uploadedFiles/_Treasury/Publications/Cash_Management_Policy.pdf

More detailed information on agency performance, including long term trends and supporting footnotes, may be disclosed either in this section or in the section ‘Disclosures and Legal Compliance’. If further information is disclosed elsewhere, a cross reference to the page number would be required.

More detailed information, including long term trends and supporting footnotes, may be disclosed either in this section or in the section ‘Disclosures and Legal Compliance’. The report on operations shall include any narrative necessary to explain the results and describe the agency’s performance, including any material variations and the impact of any external factors. If further information is disclosed elsewhere, a cross reference to the page number would be required.

Significant Issues Impacting the Agency

Current and emerging issues and trends The rapid pace of technological advancement is leading to a reduction in agency costs and creates opportunities to deliver enhanced services.

Economic and social trends There is an expectation in society that services delivered by the Model Statutory Authority will be enhanced to take advantage of technological advances.

Changes in written law There were no changes in any written law that affected the Authority during the financial year.

Likely developments and forecast results of operations It is likely that Authority operations will undergo a period of consolidation during 2017 as a result of the full impact of changes made during the 2016-17 reporting period. The most significant areas for change will be in:

• continuation of the research and development project on software development for public sector accounting. This project is expected to deliver significant cost savings to the public sector; and

• measures taken in the current period with respect to information technology services should begin to deliver significant cost savings and greater sales growth.

TI 903(9) Commentary: Include a brief description of current and emerging issues and trends impacting on the agency’s operations, as well as the operations of any subsidiary and/or related bodies, and how the agency and bodies intend to address them. This may include economic and social trends and changes in any written law and significant judicial decisions affecting the agency or bodies. Any likely developments in the operations of the agency or bodies and the forecast results of those developments should also be disclosed, unless the disclosure is likely to be prejudicial to the agency.

Reference

30.06.2017 of 95

Commentary: Supplies and services – include administrative expenses.

Finance costs – include borrowing costs. AASB 123.5 defines borrowing costs as interest and other costs incurred by an entity in connection with the borrowing of funds. Other finance costs would include discounting expense incurred under AASB 5.17 and AASB 137. The discounting of employee benefits should be recognised under employee benefits expense rather than separately as a finance cost. Cost of sales – Australian Accounting Standards do not allow the disclosure of a net trading result in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. However, where immaterial, sales and the cost of goods sold would be included under other revenue and other expense respectively. Losses or gains on disposal of non-current assets or other assets – subject to materiality, gains or losses may be displayed separately such as losses or gains on disposal of non-current and other assets. Groups of similar transactions would normally be reported on a net basis. Immaterial losses or gains can be included in other expenses or other gains. Assets transferred – This is for transfers made at the transferor agency’s discretion and represents an expense to the transferor and revenue to the transferee. Other comprehensive income – AASB 101.82A requires separate line item for each class of other comprehensive income which are grouped on the basis of whether or not they will be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss. AASB 101.7 – Other comprehensive income may also include gains and losses arising from translating the financial statements of a foreign operation, gains and losses on remeasuring available for sale financial assets and the effective portion of gains and losses on hedging instruments in a cash flow hedge. Surplus/(deficit) for the period – any reduction in service appropriation under Treasury’s Cash Management Policy resulting in a deficit for the period should be explained in the Agency Performance section of the Annual Report.

AASB 101.85, 96 Remeasurements of defined benefit liability – Example disclosures of transactions for defined benefit plans are not addressed in this model. Further guidance may be found in the Note 35 ‘Provisions’ of the Model Annual Report for Statutory Authorities (Commercial).

The Statement of Changes in Equity should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes.

Commentary:

Changes in accounting policy or correction of prior period errors An example of a voluntary change in accounting policy is an increase in the asset capitalisation threshold. Refer to Guidelines in TI 1101. Under AASB 108, voluntary changes in accounting policy and correction of prior period errors are adjusted against the opening balances of each affected component of equity in the comparatives. Note that changes in accounting policy under AASB 116 and AASB 138 in respect to the revaluation of assets are not accounted for under AASB 108. Changes to the revaluation model under these Standards are not applied retrospectively. Balance at 1 July 2016 In accordance with AASB 108.24, under limited circumstances the current period may be the beginning of the earliest period for which retrospective application is practicable for a change in accounting policy. Refer also to AASB 108.19(b) and AASB 101.106(b).

Commentary: Finance costs – are equivalent to borrowing costs. Any unwinding of discounts is included

in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as they are not cash flows. Purchase of non-current assets – due to the change in capitalisation threshold where assets below $5,000 are to be expensed, the cash flows under investing activities represent the extent to which expenditure has been made for resources that are initially recognised as an asset in the Statement of Financial Position. Therefore, expenditure on items below $5,000 is to be classified as an operating activity. Cash and cash equivalent assets transferred to/from an agency as part of a distribution to/contribution by owners should be reported under ‘Cash flows from State Government’.

Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2017

Note 1. Australian Accounting Standards

General The Authority’s financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2017 have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards. The term ‘Australian Accounting Standards’ includes Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB).

The Authority has adopted any applicable new and revised Australian Accounting Standards from their operative dates.

TI 1101(6) Early adoption of standards The Authority cannot early adopt an Australian Accounting Standard unless specifically permitted by TI 1101 Application of Australian Accounting Standards and Other Pronouncements. There has been no early adoption of any other Australian Accounting Standards that have been issued or amended (but not operative) by the Authority for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2017.

Commentary: The Australian Accounting Interpretations are adopted through AASB 1048 Interpretation of Standards and are classified into those corresponding to International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) Interpretations and those only applicable in Australia. This includes interpretations of both the AASB and the former Urgent Issues Group (UIG). The AASB last amended the Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements (Framework) in July 2014. These amendments also withdraw the Statement of Accounting Concept SAC 2. The AASB continues to revise and maintain accounting standards and those interpretations that are of particular relevance to the Australian environment, especially those that deal more specifically with not-for-profit entity issues and/or do not have an equivalent IASB Standard or IFRIC Interpretation.

AASB 101.114(b) TI 1101 Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies AASB 1054.7-9 (a) General statement

The Authority is a not-for-profit reporting entity that prepares general purpose financial statements in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, the Framework, Statements of Accounting Concepts and other authoritative pronouncements of the AASB as applied by the Treasurer's instructions. Several of these are modified by the Treasurer's instructions to vary application, disclosure, format and wording.

The Financial Management Act 2006 and the Treasurer's instructions impose legislative provisions that govern the preparation of financial statements and take precedence over Australian Accounting Standards, the Framework, Statements of Accounting Concepts and other authoritative pronouncements of the AASB.

Where modification is required and has had a material or significant financial effect upon the reported results, details of that modification and the resulting financial effect are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

FMA sec 61(1)(a), 62(1), 78

Commentary: TIs mandate options and modify application of accounting standards to provide certainty, consistency and appropriate reporting across the public sector. For example, AASB 116 requires land and buildings to be measured at either cost or fair value, while TI 954 mandates the fair value option.

AASB 108.13

(b) Basis of preparation The financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting using the historical cost convention, except for land, buildings and infrastructure which have been measured at fair value.

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements have been consistently applied throughout all periods presented unless otherwise stated.

AASB 121.9, 38 AASB 101.51(e) TI 948

The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($'000).

AASB 101.122 Note 4 ‘Judgements made by management in applying accounting policies’ discloses judgements that have been made in the process of applying the Authority’s accounting policies resulting in the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements.

AASB 101.125 Note 5 ‘Key sources of estimation uncertainty’ discloses key assumptions made concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.

AASB 101.25 Commentary: Going concern AASB 101 requires management to assess the Authority’s ability to continue as a going concern when preparing financial statements. The Model does not illustrate an entity encountering either a going concern issue or a deficiency of net assets. Where this occurs the following wording may be appropriate: “The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Authority will be able to generate sufficient positive cash flows to meet its financial obligations and realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business [narrate appropriate causal factors as applicable].” OR “Notwithstanding the Authority’s deficiency of net assets, the financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. This basis has been adopted as the Authority is a State Government agency funded by Parliamentary appropriation from the Consolidated Account.”

(c) Reporting entity The reporting entity comprises the Authority and bodies included at Note 49 ‘Related bodies’.

Int 1038 TI 955

(d) Contributed equity AASB Interpretation 1038 Contributions by Owners Made to Wholly-Owned Public Sector Entities requires transfers in the nature of equity contributions, other than as a result of a restructure of administrative arrangements, to be designated by the Government (the owner) as contributions by owners (at the time of, or prior to transfer) before such transfers can be recognised as equity contributions. Capital appropriations have been designated as contributions by owners by TI 955 Contributions by Owners made to Wholly Owned Public Sector Entities and have been credited directly to Contributed Equity.


Reference

30.06.2017 of 95

The transfers of net assets to/from other agencies, other than as a result of a restructure of administrative arrangements, are designated as contributions by owners where the transfers are non-discretionary and non-reciprocal.

AASB 1004.54-56

Commentary: Repayable capital appropriations are recognised as liabilities. Refer to Note 22 ‘Income from State Government’ for further commentary on the application of TI 955. Transfers of net assets to/from other agencies as a result of a restructure of administrative arrangements are to be accounted for as distributions to owners and contributions by owners respectively. See also Note 39 ‘Equity”.

Framework 74-77 (e) Income Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised and measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable. Revenue is recognised for the major business activities as follows:

AASB 118.14, 35(a) Sale of goods

Revenue is recognised from the sale of goods and disposal of other assets when the significant risks and rewards of ownership transfer to the purchaser and can be measured reliably.

AASB 118.20, 35(a) Provision of services

Revenue is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the transaction.

AASB 118.30(a) Interest

Revenue is recognised as the interest accrues. Commentary:

Interest shall be recognised using the effective interest method, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset, where applicable.

AASB 118.35(a) Service appropriations

Service appropriations are recognised as revenues at fair value in the period in which the Authority gains control of the appropriated funds. The Authority gains control of appropriated funds at the time those funds are deposited to the bank account or credited to the ‘Amounts receivable for services’ (holding account) held at Treasury.

FMA sec 26(2) Commentary: See also Note 22 ‘Income from State Government’ for further information.

AASB 1004.12

Grants, donations, gifts and other non-reciprocal contributions

Revenue is recognised at fair value when the Authority obtains control over the assets comprising the contributions, usually when cash is received.

AASB 1004.12, 44 Other non-reciprocal contributions that are not contributions by owners are recognised at their fair value. Contributions of services are only recognised when a fair value can be reliably determined and the services would be purchased if not donated.

Royalties for Regions funds are recognised as revenue at fair value in the period in which the Authority obtains control over the funds. The Authority obtains control of the funds at the time the funds are deposited into the Authority’s bank account.


Reference

30.06.2017 of 95

Commentary: AASB 1004.60(a) TI 1102(8)

Where contributions recognised as revenues during the reporting period were obtained subject to conditions that they will be expended in a specified manner, and those expenditures had yet to be made at the end of the reporting period, the amounts and nature of the contributions, and the conditions attaching to them are to be disclosed in the notes.

AASB 1004.60(b), (d)

Where contributions recognised as revenues during the reporting period were obtained specifically for the provision of goods or services over a future period, the amounts and nature of the contributions, and the periods to which they relate are to be disclosed.

AASB 1004.60(e) Where contributions recognised as revenues in a previous reporting period were obtained in respect of the current reporting period, the amounts and nature of the contributions are to be disclosed.

Framework 75-76 Gains

Realised and unrealised gains are usually recognised on a net basis. These include gains arising on the disposal of non-current assets and some revaluations of non-current assets.

AASB 123. 8, Aus 26.1 AASB 123. 26(b)

(f) Borrowing costs Borrowing costs for qualifying assets are capitalised net of any investment income earned on the unexpended portion of the borrowings. Other borrowing costs are expensed when incurred.

The capitalisation rate used to determine the amount of borrowing costs to be capitalised is the weighted average interest rate applicable to the Authority’s outstanding borrowings during the year, in this case 3.5% (2016: 4%).

AASB 123.7, 8 Commentary: A qualifying asset is an asset that takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. AASB 123 Borrowing Costs still allows not-for-profit public sector entities to continue to choose whether to expense or capitalise borrowing costs relating to qualifying assets.

AASB 116 TI 1101(14)

(g) Property, plant and equipment and infrastructure Capitalisation/expensing of assets

Items of property, plant and equipment and infrastructure costing $5,000 or more are recognised as assets and the cost of utilising assets is expensed (depreciated) over their useful lives. Items of property, plant and equipment and infrastructure costing less than $5,000 are immediately expensed direct to the Statement of Comprehensive Income (other than where they form part of a group of similar items which are significant in total).

AASB 116.15 AASB 116.Aus15.1 TI 1102(11)(ii)

Initial recognition and measurement

Property, plant and equipment and infrastructure are initially recognised at cost.

For items of property, plant and equipment and infrastructure acquired at no cost or for nominal cost, the cost is the fair value at the date of acquisition.

AASB 116.31

Subsequent measurement

Subsequent to initial recognition of an asset, the revaluation model is used for the measurement of land, buildings and infrastructure, and historical cost for all other property, plant and equipment. Land, buildings and infrastructure are carried at fair value less accumulated depreciation (buildings and infrastructure only) and accumulated impairment losses. All other items of property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.


Reference

30.06.2017 of 95

AASB 116.35 Where market-based evidence is available, the fair value of land and buildings is determined on the basis of current market values determined by reference to recent market transactions [or other basis, describe]. When buildings are revalued by reference to recent market transactions, the accumulated depreciation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount restated to the revalued amount.

AASB 116.35 In the absence of market-based evidence, fair value of land and buildings is determined on the basis of existing use. This normally applies where buildings are specialised or where land use is restricted. Fair value for existing use buildings is determined by reference to the cost of replacing the remaining future economic benefits embodied in the asset, i.e. the depreciated replacement cost. Where the fair value of buildings is determined on the depreciated replacement cost basis, the gross carrying amount and the accumulated depreciation are restated proportionately with the change in the gross carrying amount of the asset. Fair value for restricted use land is determined by comparison with market evidence for land with similar approximate utility (high restricted use land) or market value of comparable unrestricted land (low restricted use land).

AASB 116.77(b) Land and buildings are independently valued annually by the Western Australian Land Information Authority (Valuation Services) and recognised annually to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ materially from the asset’s fair value at the end of the reporting period.

Fair value of infrastructure has been determined by reference to the depreciated replacement cost (existing use basis) as the assets are specialised and no market-based evidence of value is available. Land under infrastructure is included in land reported under Note 29 ‘Property, plant and equipment’ [specify how land under infrastructure is valued]. Independent valuations are obtained every 3 to 5 years for infrastructure.

AASB 116.35 When infrastructure is revalued, the accumulated depreciation is restated proportionately with the change in the gross carrying amount of the asset so that the carrying amount of the asset after revaluation equals its revalued amount.

AASB 13.B30 TI 1101

The most significant assumptions and judgements in estimating fair value are made in assessing whether to apply the existing use basis to assets and in determining estimated economic life. Professional judgement by the valuer is required where the evidence does not provide a clear distinction between market type assets and existing use assets.

AASB 116.31

AASB 116.35 TI 954 Guidelines

Commentary: In this model, the agency has recognised revaluations annually. However, AASB 116 only requires revaluations to be made with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the end of the reporting period. On revaluation, agencies may elect to either restate proportionately the gross carrying amount and the accumulated depreciation (gross method), or eliminate accumulated depreciation against the gross carrying amount of the asset and restate the net carrying amount to the revalued amount (net method). TI 954 prefers the gross method for asset values determined on the basis of depreciated replacement cost. This model is prepared on the gross basis and the disclosure above reflects this election. See also Note 29 ‘Property, plant and equipment’ and Note 30 ‘Infrastructure’ for further information on revaluations.


Derecognition

Upon disposal or derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment and infrastructure, any revaluation surplus relating to that asset is retained in the asset revaluation surplus.


Reference

30.06.2017 of 95

AASB 101.79(b) Asset revaluation surplus

The asset revaluation surplus is used to record increments and decrements on the revaluation of non-current assets on a class of assets basis.

AASB 116.50 Depreciation

All non-current assets having a limited useful life are systematically depreciated over their estimated useful lives in a manner that reflects the consumption of their future economic benefits.

Depreciation is calculated using the straight line method [or other method, describe], using rates which are reviewed annually. Estimated useful lives for each class of depreciable asset are:

Buildings 20 to 40 years Plant and equipment 10 to 15 years Office equipment 5 years Software(a) 3 to 5 years Motor vehicles 3 to 7 years Infrastructure 55 to 80 years

(a) Software that is integral to the operation of related hardware.

Works of art controlled by the Authority are classified as property, plant and equipment. These are anticipated to have indefinite useful lives. Their service potential has not, in any material sense, been consumed during the reporting period and consequently no depreciation has been recognised.

Land is not depreciated.

AASB 138 TI 1101(14)

(h) Intangible assets Capitalisation/expensing of assets

Acquisitions of intangible assets costing $5,000 or more and internally generated intangible assets costing $50,000 or more are capitalised. The cost of utilising the assets is expensed (amortised) over their useful lives. Costs incurred below these thresholds are immediately expensed directly to the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

AASB 138.24, Aus24.1 AASB 138.74

Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. For assets acquired at no cost or for nominal cost, the cost is their fair value at the date of acquisition.

The cost model is applied for subsequent measurement requiring the asset to be carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

AASB 138.97, 100 Amortisation for intangible assets with finite useful lives is calculated for the period of the expected benefit (estimated useful life which is reviewed annually) on the straight line basis. All intangible assets controlled by the Authority have a finite useful life and zero residual value.

The expected useful lives for each class of intangible asset are:

Licences up to 10 years Development Costs 3 to 5 years Software(a) 3 to 5 years Website costs 3 to 5 years

(a) Software that is not integral to the operation of any related hardware.

TI 1101

AASB 138.75

AASB 138.107-108

AASB 138.97 APG 2

Commentary: Agencies should assess their own circumstances in determining capitalisation thresholds for intangible assets (TI 1101 requires a minimum threshold of $5,000). Intangible assets can only be revalued to fair value where an active market exists. Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation but must be tested annually for impairment. Amortisation commences when the intangible asset is available for use and ceases when the asset is classified as held-for-sale or where the asset has been fully amortised.

AASB 138.118 Licences

Licences have a finite useful life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

AASB 138.118 APG 2

Development costs

Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development costs incurred for an individual project are carried forward when the future economic benefits can reasonably be regarded as assured and the total project costs are likely to exceed $50,000. Other development costs are expensed as incurred.

AASB 138.57 Int 132

Commentary: Specific recognition criteria apply to the capitalisation of development costs (e.g. software developed in-house and web site costs.

Computer software

Software that is an integral part of the related hardware is recognised as property, plant and equipment. Software that is not an integral part of the related hardware is recognised as an intangible asset. Software costing less than $5,000 is expensed in the year of acquisition.

Int 132.7-10 Website costs

Website costs are charged as expenses when they are incurred unless they relate to the acquisition or development of an asset when they may be capitalised and amortised. Generally, costs in relation to feasibility studies during the planning phase of a website, and ongoing costs of maintenance during the operating phase are expensed. Costs incurred in building or enhancing a website that can be reliably measured, are capitalised to the extent that they represent probable future economic benefits.

Int 132.8 Commentary: Website costs may be capitalised by public sector agencies. The future economic benefits are not necessarily related to specific cash flows and the website is capable of capitalisation where it is linked to the delivery of services of the agency.

(i) Impairment of assets Property, plant and equipment, infrastructure and intangible assets are tested for any indication of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Where there is an indication of impairment, the recoverable amount is estimated. Where the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to the recoverable amount and an impairment loss is recognised. Where an asset measured at cost is written down to recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. Where a previously revalued asset is written down to recoverable amount, the loss is recognised as a revaluation decrement in other comprehensive income. As the Authority is a not-for-profit entity, unless a specialised asset has been identified as a surplus asset, the recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and depreciated replacement cost.


Reference

The risk of impairment is generally limited to circumstances where an asset’s depreciation is materially understated, where the replacement cost is falling or where there is a significant change in useful life. Each relevant class of assets is reviewed annually to verify that the accumulated depreciation/amortisation reflects the level of consumption or expiration of the asset’s future economic benefits and to evaluate any impairment risk from falling replacement costs.

AASB 136.10 Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at the end of each reporting period irrespective of whether there is any indication of impairment.

AASB 136.6 The recoverable amount of assets identified as surplus assets is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and the present value of future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. Surplus assets carried at fair value have no risk of material impairment where fair value is determined by reference to market-based evidence. Where fair value is determined by reference to depreciated replacement cost, surplus assets are at risk of impairment and the recoverable amount is measured. Surplus assets at cost are tested for indications of impairment at the end of each reporting period.

AASB 139.59 Commentary: See Note 33 ‘Impairment of assets’ for the outcome of impairment reviews and testing. Refer also to Note 2(q) ‘Receivables’ and Note 25 ‘Receivables’ for impairment of receivables.

AASB 5.6, 15 (j) Non-current assets (or disposal groups) classified as held for sale Non-current assets (or disposal groups) held for sale are recognised at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, and are disclosed separately from other assets in the Statement of Financial Position. Assets classified as held for sale are not depreciated or amortised.

AASB 5.Aus2.1, 2.3 Commentary: Discontinued operations are rare in the public sector and therefore are not addressed in this model.

AASB 117.7, 8, 20, 25, 27 AASB 7.21

(k) Leases Finance lease rights and obligations are initially recognised, at the commencement of the lease term, as assets and liabilities equal in amount to the fair value of the leased item or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments, determined at the inception of the lease. The assets are disclosed as plant, equipment and vehicles under lease, and are depreciated over the period during which the Authority is expected to benefit from their use. Minimum lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding lease liability, according to the interest rate implicit in the lease.

AASB 117.33 Operating leases are expensed on a straight line basis over the lease term as this represents the pattern of benefits derived from the leased properties.

Int 4

Commentary: Specific criteria apply in determining whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease for the purposes of applying AASB 117 Leases. For example, take-or-pay and similar contracts. Agencies should assess their own circumstances in determining whether an ‘in-substance’ lease has been entered into.

AASB 117.15A Where leases include both land and buildings elements, separate classification of each element as a finance or an operating lease is required.

(l) Financial instruments In addition to cash and bank overdraft, the Authority has two categories of financial instrument:

• Loans and receivables; and

• Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost.

AASB 7.6, B1 Financial instruments have been disaggregated into the following classes:

• Financial Assets

− Cash and cash equivalents

− Restricted cash and cash equivalents

− Receivables

− Amounts receivable for services

• Financial Liabilities

− Payables

− Bank overdraft

− WATC/Bank borrowings

− Finance lease liabilities

− Amounts due to the Treasurer

AASB 139.14, 43, 46(a), 47 AASB 7.21

Initial recognition and measurement of financial instruments is at fair value which normally equates to the transaction cost or the face value. Subsequent measurement is at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

AASB 7.29(a) The fair value of short-term receivables and payables is the transaction cost or the face value because there is no interest rate applicable and subsequent measurement is not required as the effect of discounting is not material.

AASB 107.45, 46 (m) Cash and cash equivalents For the purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalent (and restricted cash and cash equivalent) assets comprise cash on hand and short-term deposits with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are included in Note 35 ‘Borrowings’.

(n) Accrued salaries Accrued salaries (see Note 34 ‘Payables’) represent the amount due to staff but unpaid at the end of the reporting period. Accrued salaries are settled within a fortnight of the reporting period end. The Authority considers the carrying amount of accrued salaries to be equivalent to its fair value.

AASB 107.48 TI 1103

Commentary: Accrued salaries are recognised at year end where the pay date for the last pay period for that reporting period does not coincide with the end of the reporting period. Statutory authorities required to pay amounts into a suspense account in relation to the 27th pay period that occurs every 11 years should follow the example disclosure in the Model Annual Report for Departments.

(o) Amounts receivable for services (holding account) The Authority receives income from the State Government partly in cash and partly as an asset (holding account receivable). The accrued amount appropriated is accessible on the emergence of the cash funding requirement to cover leave entitlements and asset replacement.

Commentary: See also Note 22 ‘Income from State Government’ and Note 26 ’Amounts receivable for services’.

AASB 102.36(a) (p) Inventories Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs are assigned by the method most appropriate for each particular class of inventory, with the majority being measured on a first in first out basis [specify other cost methods used].

Inventories not held for resale are measured at cost unless they are no longer required, in which case they are measured at net realisable value.

AASB 102.Aus6.1, Aus9.1, Aus36.1

Commentary: Inventories ‘held for distribution’ by not-for-profit entities must be disclosed separately in the notes and measured at cost, adjusted when applicable for any loss of service potential. See also Note 24 ‘Inventories’.

AASB 7.21, B5(d) AASB 139.43, 46(a) AASB 139.59 TI 807

(q) Receivables Receivables are recognised at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts (i.e. impairment). The collectability of receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis and any receivables identified as uncollectible are written-off against the allowance account. The allowance for uncollectible amounts (doubtful debts) is raised when there is objective evidence that the Authority will not be able to collect the debts. The carrying amount is equivalent to fair value as it is due for settlement within 30 days.

Commentary: An allowance for impairment of receivables can only be raised if there is objective evidence of impairment. See also Note 2(l) ‘Financial Instruments’ and Note 25 ‘Receivables’.

AASB 7.21 AASB 139.43, 47 TI 323

(r) Payables Payables are recognised at the amounts payable when the Authority becomes obliged to make future payments as a result of a purchase of assets or services. The carrying amount is equivalent to fair value, as settlement is generally within 30 days.

Commentary: See also Note 2(l) ‘Financial Instruments’ and Note 34 ‘Payables’.

AASB 7.21, 27 AASB 139.43, 47

(s) Borrowings All loans payable are initially recognised at the fair value, being the net proceeds received. Subsequent measurement is at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

(t) Amounts due to the Treasurer The amount due to the Treasurer is in respect of a Treasurer’s Advance. Initial recognition and measurement, and subsequent measurement, is at the amount repayable. Although there is no interest charged, the amount repayable is equivalent to fair value as the period of the borrowing is for less than 12 months with the effect of discounting not being material.

Commentary: See also Note 36 ‘Amounts due to the Treasurer’.

(u) Provisions Provisions are liabilities of uncertain timing or amount and are recognised where there is a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event and when the outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is probable and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period.

Commentary: See also Note 37 ‘Provisions’.

AASB 119.10, 128 Provisions - employee benefits

All annual leave and long service leave provisions are in respect of employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period.

Annual leave

Annual leave is not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the reporting period and is therefore considered to be ‘other long term employee benefits’. The annual leave liability is recognised and measured at the present value of amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled using the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement.

AASB 119.Aus78.1 When assessing expected future payments consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels including non-salary components such as employer superannuation contributions, as well as the experience of employee departures and periods of service. The expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the end of the reporting period on national government bonds with terms to maturity that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

AASB 101.69(d) The provision for annual leave is classified as a current liability as the Authority does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period.

Commentary: Agencies are required to review leave patterns of employees for the purpose of measuring the employee benefit liability. Where annual leave for the entire employee population is not wholly settled within the twelve months after balance date, all annual leave falls within the scope of ‘other long-term employee benefits’ and is measured at the present value of amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled in accordance with AASB 119.155.

AASB 119.11 In contrast, where annual leave is settled wholly within the twelve months after balance date, the first paragraph under the sub-heading ‘Annual Leave’ should be substituted with:

AASB 119.76-79 “Annual leave is expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the reporting period and is therefore considered to be a ‘short-term employee benefit’. The annual leave liability is recognised and measured at the undiscounted amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled.”


Reference

30.06.2017 of 95

Long service leave

Long service leave is not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the reporting period and is therefore recognised and measured at the present value of amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled using the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement.

AASB 119.76-79 When assessing expected future payments consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels including non-salary components such as employer superannuation contributions, as well as the experience of employee departures and periods of service. The expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the end of the reporting period on national government bonds with terms to maturity that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

AASB 101.69(d) TI 520 Guidelines

Unconditional long service leave provisions are classified as current liabilities as the Authority does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period. Pre-conditional and conditional long service leave provisions are classified as non-current liabilities because the Authority has an unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability until the employee has completed the requisite years of service.

Commentary: AASB 119.51, 128

AASB 101.69(d) TI 520 Guidelines

Long service leave Agencies using the short-hand method to recognise the long service leave liabilities should adopt the following paragraphs under the heading ‘Long service leave’ instead of the above paragraphs. The following paragraphs should be tailored in accordance with the Authority’s circumstances: “A liability for long service leave is recognised after an employee has completed x years of service based on remuneration rates current as at the end of the reporting period. An actuarial assessment of long service leave undertaken by XXX Actuaries at 30 June 2017 determined that the liability measured using the short-hand measurement technique above was not materially different from the liability determined using the present value of expected future payments. This calculation is consistent with the Authority’s experience of employee retention and leave taken. Unconditional long service leave provisions are classified as current liabilities as the Authority does not have an unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period. Pre-conditional and conditional long service leave provisions are classified as non-current liabilities because the Authority has an unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability until the employee has completed the requisite years of service.”

TI 1101 Guidelines Use the following notes where applicable: Sick leave Liabilities for sick leave are recognised when it is probable that sick leave paid in the future will be greater than the entitlement that will accrue in the future. Past history indicates that on average, sick leave taken each reporting period is less than the entitlement accrued. This is expected to continue in future periods. Accordingly, it is unlikely that existing accumulated entitlements will be used by employees and no liability for unused sick leave entitlements is recognised. As sick leave is non-vesting, an expense is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income for this leave as it is taken.

Deferred leave The provision for deferred leave relates to Public Service employees who have entered into an agreement to self-fund an additional 12 months leave in the fifth year of the agreement. The provision recognises the value of salary set aside for employees to be used in the fifth year. This liability is measured on the same basis as annual leave. Deferred leave is reported as a current provision as employees can leave the scheme at their discretion at any time. Purchased leave The provision for purchased leave relates to Public Service employees who have entered into an agreement to self-fund up to an additional 10 weeks leave per calendar year. The provision recognises the value of salary set aside for employees and is measured at the undiscounted amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

AASB 119.139(a) Superannuation

The Government Employees Superannuation Board (GESB) and other fund providers administer public sector superannuation arrangements in Western Australia in accordance with legislative requirements. Eligibility criteria for membership in particular schemes for public sector employees vary according to commencement and implementation dates.

Eligible employees contribute to the Pension Scheme, a defined benefit pension scheme closed to new members since 1987, or the Gold State Superannuation Scheme (GSS), a defined benefit lump sum scheme closed to new members since 1995.

Employees commencing employment prior to 16 April 2007 who were not members of either the Pension Scheme or the GSS became non-contributory members of the West State Superannuation Scheme (WSS). Employees commencing employment on or after 16 April 2007 became members of the GESB Super Scheme (GESBS). From 30 March 2012, existing members of the WSS or GESBS and new employees have been able to choose their preferred superannuation fund provider. The Authority makes contributions to GESB or other fund providers on behalf of employees in compliance with the Commonwealth Government’s Superannuation Guarantee (Administration) Act 1992. Contributions to these accumulation schemes extinguish the Authority’s liability for superannuation charges in respect of employees who are not members of the Pension Scheme or GSS.

The GSS is a defined benefit scheme for the purposes of employees and whole-of-government reporting. However, it is a defined contribution plan for agency purposes because the concurrent contributions (defined contributions) made by the Authority to GESB extinguishes the agency’s obligations to the related superannuation liability.

The Authority has no liabilities under the Pension Scheme or the GSS. The liabilities for the unfunded Pension Scheme and the unfunded GSS transfer benefits attributable to members who transferred from the Pension Scheme, are assumed by the Treasurer. All other GSS obligations are funded by concurrent contributions made by the Authority to the GESB.

The GESB makes all benefit payments in respect of the Pension Scheme and GSS, and is recouped from the Treasurer for the employer’s share.

Commentary: Statutory authorities utilising this Model Annual Report and identified in Division 2 of Schedule 1 of the State Superannuation Regulations 2001, should refer to the Model Annual Report for Commercial agencies for assistance on reporting liabilities arising from the Pension Scheme and the pre-transfer component of the GSS. See also Note 2(v) ‘Superannuation expense’.

Employment on-costs, including workers’ compensation insurance, are not employee benefits and are recognised separately as liabilities and expenses when the employment to which they relate has occurred. Employment on-costs are included as part of ‘Other expenses’ and are not included as part of the Authority’s ‘Employee benefits expense’. The related liability is included in ‘Employment on-costs provision’.

Commentary: See also Note 14 ‘Other expenses’ and Note 37 ‘Provisions’.

Warranties

Provision is made for the estimated liability on all products still under warranty at the end of the reporting period. The amount of the provision is the present value of the expected future cash outflows expected to settle the warranty obligations, having regard to the warranty experience over the last five years and the risks of the warranty obligations.

(v) Superannuation expense Superannuation expense is recognised in the profit or loss of the Statement of Comprehensive Income and comprises employer contributions paid to the GSS (concurrent contributions), WSS, the GESBS, and other superannuation funds.

Commentary: Example disclosures of defined benefit plans are not addressed in this model. Further guidance may be found in the Note 35 ‘Provisions’ of the Model Annual Report for Statutory Authorities (Commercial).

TI 1102(11)(ii) (w) Assets and services received free of charge or for nominal cost Assets or services received free of charge or for nominal cost that the Authority would otherwise purchase if not donated, are recognised as income at the fair value of the assets or services where they can be reliably measured. A corresponding expense is recognised for services received. Receipts of assets are recognised in the Statement of Financial Position.

Assets or services received from other State Government agencies are separately disclosed under Income from State Government in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

AASB 11.20 (x) Joint operations The Authority has interests in joint arrangements that are joint operations. A joint arrangement is a contractual arrangement whereby two or more parties undertake an economic activity that is subject to joint control. A joint operation involves the use of assets and other resources of the venturers rather than the establishment of a separate entity. The Authority recognises its interests in the joint operations by recognising the assets it controls and the liabilities that it incurs in respect of the joint arrangements. The Authority also recognises the expenses that it incurs and its share of the income that it earns from the sale of goods or services by the joint operations.

Commentary: Details of the joint operations are disclosed in Note 47 ‘Jointly controlled operations’.

Commentary: Change in Accounting Policy, Retrospective Restatement or Reclassification If the Authority applies an accounting policy retrospectively, makes a retrospective restatement of items in its financial statements or reclassifies items in its financial statements, and the financial effect of the amended items on the statement of financial position at the beginning of the preceding period is material, a statement of financial position as at the beginning of the preceding period is required.

AASB 108.44 Error Where the Authority corrects an error which has a material financial effect but the period-specific effect of the error is indeterminate, the Authority may be compelled to restate the opening balances of assets, liabilities and equity for the earliest period for which retrospective restatement is practicable. Authorities discovering a material error in their financial statements should review paragraphs 41 to 47 of AASB 108 to determine the reporting requirements that apply to their situation.

Note 3. Other accounting policies not included in this model

AASB 101.119 Commentary: The Authority should consider its own circumstances and incorporate any other accounting policies where relevant. Further guidance for accounting policy disclosures not included in this model may be obtained from Australian Accounting Standards and other illustrative statement examples available in the public domain. The Model Annual Report for Commercial agencies provides limited examples for accounting policy notes in respect of investment property, rental income, foreign currency translation, derivatives and hedge accounting.

Note 4. Judgements made by management in applying accounting policies

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements about the application of accounting policies that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The Authority evaluates these judgements regularly.

Operating lease commitments The Authority has entered into a number of leases for buildings for branch office accommodation. Some of these leases relate to buildings of a temporary nature and it has been determined that the lessor retains substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership. Accordingly, these leases have been classified as operating leases.

An example disclosure is presented above. Other examples of the types of judgements that would need to be disclosed where they have a significant effect are as follows: • Whether a joint arrangement is a joint operation or a joint venture; • Capitalisation of development expenditure (for example, whether enhancements

should be capitalised or whether internally developed computer software should be capitalised, refer to Accounting Policy Guideline (APG) 2 and AASB 138 Intangible Assets for further guidance);

• Adoption of revaluation versus cost basis for plant and equipment; and • Recognition and valuation of heritage and cultural assets. Note that the above is not an exhaustive list.

Note 5. Key sources of estimation uncertainty

Key estimates and assumptions concerning the future are based on historical experience and various other factors that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.

Long Service Leave Several estimations and assumptions used in calculating the Authority’s long service leave provision include expected future salary rates, discount rates, employee retention rates and expected future payments. Changes in these estimations and assumptions may impact on the carrying amount of the long service leave provision.

AASB 101.125 Commentary: This note is only required where the key estimates and assumptions made concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period. The following are other sources of estimation uncertainty that may be disclosed where they have a significant risk of material impact: • impairment of intangible assets

Agencies are required to assess impairment of intangible assets at the end of each reporting period. Where there is an indication of impairment (such as falling replacement costs), the recoverable amount (depreciated replacement cost) of the intangible asset is estimated. Calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates; refer to AASB 138 Intangible Assets;

• discount rates used in estimating provisions; • estimating useful life and residual values of key assets; • estimating depreciated replacement cost; and • contaminated sites (for example, in estimating the liability when remediation required,

refer to APG 1 Accounting for Contaminated Sites).

AASB 2014-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Accounting for

Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations [AASB 1 & 11]

The Authority establishes Joint Operations in pursuit of its objectives and does not routinely acquire interests in Joint Operations. Therefore, there is no financial impact on application of the Standard.

AASB 2014-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Clarification of

Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation [AASB 116 & 138]

This Standard amends AASB 127, and consequentially amends AASB 1 and AASB 128, to allow entities to use the equity method of accounting for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates in their separate financial statements. As the Authority has no joint ventures and associates, the application of the Standard has no financial impact.

Treasury considers the following Australian Accounting Standards as not usually applicable to the public sector as they have no impact or do not apply to not-for-profit entities. However, it is the agency’s responsibility to confirm whether the Standards apply to their own individual circumstances.

This Standard establishes the principles that the Authority shall apply to report useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a contract with a customer.

The Authority's income is principally derived from appropriations which will be measured under AASB 1058 Income of Not-for-Profit Entities and will be unaffected by this change. However, the Authority has not yet determined the potential impact of the Standard on ‘User charges and fees’ and ‘Sales’ revenues. In broad terms, it is anticipated that the terms and conditions attached to these revenues will defer revenue recognition until the Authority has discharged its performance obligations.

AASB 16 Leases

This Standard introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value.

Whilst the impact of AASB 16 has not yet been quantified, the entity currently has operating lease commitments for $27,526,000. The worth of non-cancellable operating leases which the Authority anticipates most of this amount will be brought onto the statement of financial position, excepting amounts pertinent to short-term or low-value leases. Interest and amortisation expense will increase and rental expense will decrease.

AASB 1058 Income of Not-for-Profit Entities

This Standard clarifies and simplifies the income recognition requirements that apply to not-for-profit (NFP) entities, more closely reflecting the economic reality of NFP entity transactions that are not contracts with customers. Timing of income recognition is dependent on whether such a transaction gives rise to a liability, or a performance obligation (a promise to transfer a good or service), or, an obligation to acquire an asset. The Authority has not yet determined the application or the potential impact of the Standard.

Commentary: This disclosure is required for new or revised Australian Accounting Standards that have been issued but are not yet effective and have not been early adopted. The above information is current as per Australian Accounting Standards issued up to the publication date of this Model – agencies will need to consider standards issued from the date of Model publication until the date of authorisation for their financial statements, subject to materiality. Treasury considers the following Australian Accounting Standards as not usually applicable to the public sector as they have no impact or do not apply to not-for-profit entities. However, it is the agency’s responsibility to confirm whether the Standards apply to their own individual circumstances. If the agency determines that any of these Standards are clearly not applicable to the agency, they should not be included in the above note disclosure.

The Authority has determined that key management personnel include Ministers, members, and, senior officers of the Authority. However, the Authority is not obligated to compensate Ministers and therefore disclosures in relation to Ministers’ compensation may be found in the Annual Report on State Finances.

Total compensation for key management personnel, comprising members and senior officers, of the Authority for the reporting period are presented within the following bands:

Commentary: Disclose the number of members of the accountable authority and senior officers who are members of the Pension Scheme. AASB 119 ‘Employee Benefits’ imposes the relevant requirements for measuring the components of compensation. Employee benefits are all forms of consideration given by an agency in exchange for service rendered, including total fees, salaries, superannuation, leave entitlements, redundancy payments, non-monetary benefits (including motor vehicle benefits, housing and parking) and other benefits. The calculations are to be made on an accrual accounting basis. Therefore, total compensation disclosed does not necessarily represent the cash paid in a single reporting period.

AASB 119 distinguishes employee benefits on the basis of when benefits are expected to be settled and the employment status at the time of that settlement.

Commentary: Finance costs include borrowing costs. AASB 123.5 defines borrowing costs as interest and other costs incurred by an entity in connection with the borrowing of funds, including finance charges associated with AASB 117 finance leases (AASB 123.6(d)). Other finance costs would include discounting expense incurred under AASB 5.17 and AASB 137.60. The discounting of employee benefits should be recognised under employee benefits expense rather than separately as a finance cost.

Commentary: Broad categories of recipients must be disclosed in the notes to the Financial Statements under ‘Grants and Subsidies’, where material. Presentation of grants and subsidies expenditures should be tailored to the needs of users reliant on general purpose financial statements and reflect discharge of accountability requirements. To achieve this, a mixture of classifications may be required. These classifications can be based on sector, function, project, destination/recipient, or, a combination of these classifications as appropriate. Classification by sector may entail distinguishing public sector, private sector, private sector NFP recipients. Alternatively, the profile of the sector might be significant for transparency purposes (e.g. schools, households or sporting clubs). Functional classification may incorporate differentiation between grants for research, targeted subsidy schemes, donations and sponsorships. Grants for research can be further disaggregated by area of research, distinguishing differences in the funding of aquaculture research, environmental research, or, digital system research.

FMA sec 60 TI 951

Grant funding of satellite agencies should be characterised by the recipient agency. Similarly, disclosure of funding of affiliated and related bodies is dictated by TI 951, which places the emphasis on disclosure by recipient agency or class of recipient agencies. The accountable authority, on advice from the chief financial officer, should evaluate the Authority’s operations and use that evaluation to apply an appropriate sub-classification methodology to ensure useful information is provided to users of the Authority’s general purpose financial statements.

Commentary: Material income or expenses should be disclosed separately. For example, include notes on impairment losses and revaluation decrements, where they are material enough to warrant disclosure. Employment on-costs Includes workers’ compensation insurance and other employment on-costs. The on-costs liabilities associated with the recognition of annual and long service leave liabilities are included at Note 37 ‘Provisions’. Superannuation contributions accrued as part of the provision for leave are employee benefits and are not included in employment on-costs. Other expenses Include audit fees which are usually for the final audit fee for the previous year’s audit and any interim audit fee (if any) for the current year’s audit. See also Note 48 ‘Remuneration of auditors’.

Note 15. Related Party Transactions

The Authority is a wholly owned and controlled entity of the State of Western Australia. In conducting its activities, the Authority is required to pay various taxes and levies based on the standard terms and conditions that apply to all tax and levy payers to the State and entities related to the State.

Related parties of the department include:

• all Ministers and their close family members, and their controlled or jointly controlled entities;

• all senior officers and their close family members, and their controlled or jointly controlled entities;

• other departments and public sector entities, including related bodies included in the whole of government consolidated financial statements;

• associates and joint ventures, that are included in the whole of government consolidated financial statements; and

• the Government Employees Superannuation Board (GESB).

Commentary: Local governments and universities are not controlled by the State Government, and are therefore not related parties of a public sector entity (i.e. an entity included in the whole of government consolidated financial statements). Refer to Note 8 ‘Composition of Sectors’ in Appendix 1 ‘Detailed Financial Projections’ of the Budget Paper No. 3 ‘Economic and Fiscal Outlook’ for a list of entities included in the consolidated financial statements.

Significant transactions with government related entities Significant transactions include:

• service appropriations (Note 22);

• capital appropriations (Note 39);

• services received free of charge from the Information Technology Commission (Note 22);

• income from Royalties for Regions Fund (Note 22);

• superannuation payments to GESB (Note 7);

• lease rentals payments for accommodation and fleet leasing to the Department of Finance (Note 12);

• commitments for future lease payments to the Department of Finance (Note 42);

• amounts due to the Treasurer (Note 36);

• insurance payments to the Insurance Commission and Riskcover fund (Note 9);

• grants provided to TAFE colleges (Note 13);

• equity injections from Royalties for Regions Funds (Note 39); and

• remuneration for services provided by the Auditor General (Note 48). AASB 124.26(b) AASB 124.27

Commentary: Disclosures shall be in sufficient detail to enable users to understand the effect of related party transactions on the agency’s financial statements. Therefore, agencies may consider revising other disclosure notes to ensure that they are compliant with AASB 124. For example, grants and subsidies in Note 13 would need to be disclosed by recipients (or categories of recipients) to identify which are related parties and the relationship. The level of detail to be disclosed is a matter of judgement in the context of the agency’s financial statements, taking into account the size and nature of the transactions involved. Significant transactions are generally outside normal day-to-day business operations and are significant in size or nature, and therefore not expected to be frequent.

AASB 124.26(b)

Material transactions with related parties During the year, Beta Software Solutions Pty Ltd, a company controlled by a related party of the Hon. Michael Jackson, was awarded a contract under the selective tender process on terms and conditions equivalent for those that prevail in arm’s length transactions under the State’s procurement process. The contract was awarded after the Honourable Minister referred approval to the Expenditure Review Committee (ERC). The transaction involved the provision of IT support services to support the migration of the authority’s financial management system and various databases to cloud based platforms with a total value of $4 million spread evenly over four years. $1 million has been included in expenses in the current reporting period, with $200,000 payable at the reporting date. $3 million will be provided to the Authority in the following reporting periods. No guarantee has been given on the contract.

All other transactions (including general citizen type transactions) between the Authority and Ministers/senior officers or their close family members or their controlled (or jointly controlled) entities are not material for disclosure.

AASB 124 APG 4 AASB 124 AASB 124.24 TI 924

Commentary: Where no material related party transactions have occurred, the following statement may be appropriate: “The Authority had no material related party transactions with Ministers/senior officers or their close family members or their controlled (or jointly controlled) entities for disclosure.” It is noted that general citizen type transactions are unlikely to be material for disclosure. These transactions are where Ministers/senior officers or their close family members interact with a public sector entity under the same terms and conditions as a public citizen, such as paying taxes, levies or other statutory fees/charges and using public services such as hospitals, schools or public transport. AASB 124 requires the disclosure of material related party transactions, outstanding balances, and, commitments. Materiality is subject to professional judgement and goes beyond the dollar value of the transaction or balance. Agencies should consider the objective of the Standard in determining whether quantitative or qualitative materiality justifies the disclosures of transactions in the financial statements. Transactions of a similar nature may be disclosed in aggregate except when separate disclosure is necessary for an understanding of the effects of related party transactions on the financial statements of the Authority (i.e. individual transactions that are unusual in nature or material by amount). It is noted that the objective of the disclosures is not for the purposes of assessing governance or probity. It is important to note that all KMP need to declare all their own related parties (both people and entities) and certain related party transactions as described in the mandated declaration form. This information is necessary to enable the agency to prepare the financial statements and auditors to conduct the audit work in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standard ASA 550 ‘Related Parties’. The data collection process provides evidence (subject to audit) that all relevant information has been made available for assessment. A transaction that may appear immaterial on its own may in combination with other like transactions have a material effect on the agency's financial statements, and therefore warrants disclosures.

Commentary: Net disposal proceeds are gross proceeds less costs to sell. Costs to sell (e.g. sales commissions netted from agency receipts) are ordinarily immaterial. Where the amounts are material, additional disclosure is warranted. See also Note 2(j) ‘Non-current assets (or disposal groups) classified as held for sale’, Note 28 ‘Non-current assets held for sale’ and Note 29 ‘Property, plant and equipment’. Insured non-current assets written-off as a result of an insurable event should be treated as other expenses (write-off of assets destroyed by fire/storm/earthquake etc).

(b) Discretionary transfers of assets (including grants) and liabilities between State Government agencies are reported under Income from State Government. Transfers of assets and liabilities in relation to a restructure of administrative arrangements are recognised as distribution to owners by the transferor and contribution by owners by the transferee under AASB 1004 in respect of net assets transferred. Other non-discretionary non-reciprocal transfers of assets and liabilities designated as contributions by owners under TI 955 are also recognised directly to equity.

TI 1102(11) Commentary: Where another state government agency has assumed a liability, the agency recognises revenue equivalent to the amount of the liability assumed and an expense relating to the nature of the event or events that initially gave rise to the liability in order to disclose the true cost of services. Where assets or services have been received free of charge or for nominal cost, the agency recognises revenue (and assets or expenses) equivalent to the fair value of the assets and/or the fair value of those services that can be reliably determined and which would have been purchased if not donated.

AASB 116.77 (a) Land and buildings were revalued as at 1 July 2016 by the Western Australian Land Information Authority (Valuation Services). The valuations were performed during the year ended 30 June 2017 and recognised at 30 June 2017. In undertaking the revaluation, fair value was determined by reference to market values for land: $108,000,000 (2016: $93,640,000) and buildings: $347,381,000 (2016: $319,529,000). For the remaining balance, fair value of buildings was determined on the basis of depreciated replacement cost and fair value of land was determined on the basis of comparison with market evidence for land with low level utility (high restricted use land).

AASB 117.20

Commentary: Leased assets are recognised at the lower of fair value and present value of minimum lease payments.


On revaluation, agencies may elect to either restate proportionately the gross carrying amount and the accumulated depreciation (gross method), or eliminate accumulated depreciation against the gross carrying amount of the asset and restate the net carrying amount to the revalued amount (net method). The treatment adopted should be disclosed in the accounting policy note. See also Note 2(g) ‘Property, plant and equipment and infrastructure’ and Note 31 ‘Fair value measurements’.

TI 954 Guidelines Commentary: The reconciliation for the comparative period includes a parcel of land which moved from ‘existing use’ basis (Level 3) to market value basis (Level 2) as the restrictions on the use of the land were removed by the Government of Western Australia prior to marketing the asset to the public. At the end of the comparative reporting period, the transferred land parcel was classified as Non-current assets classified as held for sale.

AASB 13.93(g) Valuation processes

AASB 13.93(d) AASB 13.95 TI 954(5)

There were no changes in valuation techniques during the period.

Transfers in and out of a fair value level are recognised on the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. Transfers are generally limited to assets newly classified as non-current assets held for sale as Treasurer's instructions require valuations of land, buildings and infrastructure to be categorised within Level 3 where the valuations will utilise significant Level 3 inputs on a recurring basis.

AASB 13.93(d),(g), (h)

Land (Level 3 fair values)

Fair value for restricted use land is based on comparison with market evidence for land with low level utility (high restricted use land). The relevant comparators of land with low level utility is selected by the Western Australian Land Information Authority (Valuation Services) and represents the application of a significant Level 3 input in this valuation methodology. The fair value measurement is sensitive to values of comparator land, with higher values of comparator land correlating with higher estimated fair values of land.

Commentary: Level 3 estimated land values may be either: high restricted use, or low restricted use. The above illustration is for high restricted use land. Low Restricted Use Land Where the Authority controls low restricted use land, the following wording is appropriate: “Fair value for restricted use land is based on market value, using market evidence of sales of comparable land that is unrestricted less restoration costs to return the site to a vacant and marketable condition (low restricted use land). The estimate of restoration cost as provided by [state name of expert] as at [date of estimate] represents a significant Level 3 input, with higher restoration costs correlating with lower estimated fair values of land.”

APG 1 Restoration costs are estimated for the purpose of returning the site to a vacant and marketable condition and include costs for: building demolition, clearing, re-zoning and an allowance for time factors.

Buildings and Infrastructure (Level 3 fair values)

Fair value for existing use specialised buildings and infrastructure assets is determined by reference to the cost of replacing the remaining future economic benefits embodied in the asset, i.e. the depreciated replacement cost. Depreciated replacement cost is the current replacement cost of an asset less accumulated depreciation calculated on the basis of such cost to reflect the already consumed or expired economic benefit, or obsolescence, and optimisation (where applicable) of the asset. Current replacement cost is generally determined by reference to the market observable replacement cost of a substitute asset of comparable utility and the gross project size specifications.

AASB 13.93(d),(g), (h)

Valuation using depreciated replacement cost utilises the significant Level 3 input, consumed economic benefit/obsolescence of asset which is estimated by the Western Australian Land Information Authority (Valuation Services). The fair value measurement is sensitive to the estimate of consumption/obsolescence, with higher values of the estimate correlating with lower estimated fair values of buildings and infrastructure.

Commentary: Derivation of Depreciated Replacement Cost In applying the depreciated replacement cost for valuing specialised assets (buildings and infrastructure assets), both observable and unobservable inputs may be utilised in determining fair value. For example, Valuation Services may utilise replacement costs (per unit volume) that are observable in the market via the Cordell’s Publication or the Rollinson’s Publication for constructing a similar asset. In contrast, the effective age and the consumed economic benefit of the asset is an asset specific value and is unobservable to the market.

AASB 13.93(e)(iv) AASB 13.95

Where applicable to an Authority’s specialised non-current assets, the following statement may be added to the above paragraph: “For some specialised buildings and infrastructure assets, the current replacement cost is determined by reference to the historical cost adjusted by relevant indices. ‘Historical cost per square metre floor area (m2)’ and ‘Historical cost per cubic metre (m3)’ represent significant Level 3 inputs used in the valuations of these respective buildings (2017:[Insert value]; 2016:[Insert value]) and infrastructure assets respectively (2017:[Insert value]; 2016:[Insert value]), with higher historical costs per m2 or m3 correlating with higher estimated fair values.” Depreciated replacement cost contains an implicit reference to asset optimisation, whereby the cost is determined by reference to obtaining the asset at the lowest cost at which the gross future economic benefits of that asset could currently be obtained in the normal course of business. Consequently, assets are replaced with a modern equivalent with optimisation for obsolescence and relevant surplus capacity.

AASB 13.92, 94, 98

Additional Disclosures Agencies may need to disclose additional information for liabilities where liabilities are measured at fair value. Liabilities of the Model Statutory Authority are normally measured at amortised cost.

AASB 13.97 Where assets or liabilities are not measured at fair value, but fair value information is provided in the notes to the financial statements the AASB 13 disclosures are required.


Reference

30.06.2017 of 95

Income Approach Whilst TI 954 generally considers the income approach irrelevant for valuing specialised assets in the public sector, agencies applying AASB 140 are more likely to be required to disclose inputs in this section. Where this occurs, the following example disclosure may be appropriate: “The discounted cash flow approach takes into account the ability of the property to generate income over a 12 year period based on certain assumptions. Provision is made for leasing up periods upon the expiry of the various leases throughout the 12 year time horizon. Each year’s net operating income during the period is discounted to arrive at the present value of expected future cash flows.”

AASB 13.93(g), (i) Basis of Valuation

TI 954 Guidelines In the absence of market-based evidence, due to the specialised nature of some non-financial assets, these assets are valued at Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy on an existing use basis. The existing use basis recognises that restrictions or limitations have been placed on their use and disposal when they are not determined to be surplus to requirements. These restrictions are imposed by virtue of the assets being held to deliver a specific community service.

Commentary: Agencies will need to disclose the nature of the legal, natural or socio-political restrictions on the potential use of assets valued on an existing use basis.

Commentary: Agencies will need to be familiar with each valuation technique applicable to their asset base.

Requirement for information about significant unobservable inputs and sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs The following circumstances result in a continued requirement to disclose information about significant unobservable inputs: • for-profit public sector agencies; • fair valued assets within the scope of AASB 116 that are held for generating future net cash inflows for both for-profit and not-for-profit public

sector agencies; and, • fair valued assets and liabilities recognised under other Australian Accounting Standards for both for-profit and not-for-profit public sector

agencies. Where the information is required, the relationship between the unobservable inputs and the resultant fair value must be described.

Unobservable Inputs in Fair Value Estimation Process Agencies will need to establish and disclose values of only the significant unobservable inputs utilised in the fair value estimation process for their asset base, other than property, plant and equipment held for their current service potential. Where the range of values is wide, a weighted average for those values is required. If the range of values is very wide, it may be necessary to disaggregate the asset class further (e.g. Metropolitan Area versus Regional Areas) to provide meaningful information.

Commentary: Deferred salary schemes represent agreements between the Authority and individual employees, whereby the employee sacrifices salary in order to purchase additional leave. The liability for leave is measured on a discounted basis by calculating the present value of estimated future cash outflows. Disclose any 48/52 leave arrangements in place as a separate line item similar to the Deferred salary scheme. Recognised sick leave provisions should be disclosed as a separate line item.

The asset revaluation surplus represents that portion of equity resulting from the revaluation of non-current assets.

Where activities are transferred from one agency to another agency as a result of a restructure of administrative arrangements, AASB 1004 (paragraph 57) requires the transferee agency to disclose the expenses and income attributable to the transferred activities for the reporting period, showing separately those expenses and income recognised by the transferor agency during the reporting period. Furthermore, AASB 1004 (paragraph 58) requires disclosures by class for each material transfer of assets and liabilities in relation to a restructure of administrative arrangements, together with the name of the counterparty transferor/transferee agency. In respect of transfers that are individually immaterial, the assets and liabilities are to be disclosed on an aggregate basis. TI 955 designates non-discretionary and non-reciprocal transfers of net assets between state government agencies as contributions by owners in accordance with AASB Interpretation 1038. Where the transferee agency accounts for a non-discretionary and non-reciprocal transfer of net assets as a contribution by owners, the transferor agency accounts for the transfer as a distribution to owners.

Certain finance leases have a contingent rental obligation; however these are not material when compared to the total lease payments made.


Reference

30.06.2017 of 95

Commentary: The present value of finance leases payable within 1 year is generally greater than the outstanding liability recognised as current liabilities (Note 35 ‘Borrowings’) in the financial statements. This is due to minimum lease payments affecting only small reduction of the outstanding liability and satisfying large finance charge early in the lease term. As the entity approaches the contractual end date, the finance charge becomes smaller and the outstanding liability is settled rapidly.

Contingent liabilities The following contingent liabilities are additional to the liabilities included in the financial statements:

Litigation in progress

A plaintiff has made a claim for $50,000 in relation to an alleged breach of copyright. Liability has been denied and any legal claim will be defended.

Native title claims

The Authority’s land is subject to a number of native title claims that have yet to be assessed by the National Native Title Tribunal. The financial effect should these claims be successful cannot be estimated at this time.

Contaminated sites

Under the Contaminated Sites Act 2003, the Authority is required to report known and suspected contaminated sites to the Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC). In accordance with the Act, DEC classifies these sites on the basis of the risk to human health, the environment and environmental values. Where sites are classified as contaminated – remediation required or possibly contaminated – investigation required, the Authority may have a liability in respect of investigation or remediation expenses.

During the year the Authority reported three suspected contaminated sites to DEC. These have yet to be classified. The Authority is unable to assess the likely outcome of the classification process, and accordingly, it is not practicable to estimate the potential financial effect or to identify the uncertainties relating to the amount or timing of any outflows. Whilst there is no possibility of reimbursement of any future expenses that may be incurred in the remediation of these sites, the Authority may apply for funding from the Contaminated Sites Management Account to undertake further investigative work or to meet remediation costs that may be required.

AASB 110.3 Commentary: AASB 110.3 notes that events after the end of the reporting period are those events, favourable and unfavourable, that occur between the end of the reporting period and the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Two types of events can be identified: those that provide evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period

(non-adjusting events after the end of the reporting period).

AASB 110.19 Updating Disclosure about Conditions at the End of the Reporting Period If an entity receives information after the end of the reporting period about conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period, it shall update disclosures that relate to these conditions, in light of the new information.

AASB 110.21 Non-adjusting Events after the end of the Reporting Period If non-adjusting events after the end of the reporting period are material, non-disclosure could influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial report. Accordingly, an entity shall disclose the following for each material category of non-adjusting event after the end of the reporting period: the nature of the event; and an estimate of its financial effect, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made.

Note 45. Explanatory statement

TI 945P(3) Significant variances between estimates and actual results for 2017 and between the actual results for 2017 and 2016 are shown below. Significant variances are considered to be those greater than 10% or $10 million.

Commentary: Agencies within the scope of TI 945P This illustrative model is based on TI 945P, which is applicable to agencies not within the General Government Sector excepting the Public Transport Authority. Agencies reporting pursuant to TI 945P, including universities, may set their own thresholds, which may or may not coincide with the example below. Agencies within the scope of TI 945 Example disclosures of Explanatory Statements for agencies within the scope of TI 945 are not addressed in this model. Further guidance may be found in the Note 45 ‘Explanatory statement’ of the Model Annual Report for Departments (for June 2017), although some general government statutory authorities (e.g. those required to publish section 40 estimates or table a Statement of Corporate Intent) may only have to disclose information comparable with the line items in the published budgeted financial statements. Agencies complying with TI 945 requirements do not have capacity to determine their own thresholds for ‘material variances’.

Note 46. Financial instruments

AASB 7.7, 31

Commentary: Disclose information that enables users of its financial statements to evaluate the significance of financial instruments for its financial position and performance. This shall include information that enables users to evaluate the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments to which the agency is exposed at the end of the reporting period. AASB 7 requires disclosure of information used by key management personnel to measure and manage risk. The agency shall decide, in light of the circumstances, how much detail it provides to satisfy the requirements of this Standard, how much emphasis it places on different aspects of the requirements and how it aggregates information to display the overall picture without combining information with different characteristics. The minimum disclosures set out in this note of the model annual report are provided by way of example only. They do not necessarily represent the only disclosures which may be appropriate for particular financial instruments and do not cover all financial instruments that may be used in practice, or importantly, reflect the manner in which the agency reports internally to its key management personnel.

AASB 7.21, B5, 33, 34, 42B

AASB 7 requires comprehensive disclosure requirements for financial instruments including, but not limited to, the following: • the measurement basis (bases) and the criteria used to determine classification for

different types of financial instruments; • the qualitative and quantitative disclosures for each type of risk (e.g. credit risk, liquidity

risk, and market risk) that the agency is exposed to; • qualitative disclosures concerning the exposures to risk and how they arise; the

objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk and methods used to measure the risk; and any changes in these from the previous period; and

• disclosures enabling financial statement users to: understand the relationship between transferred financial assets not derecognised in their entirety and associated liabilities, and, evaluate the nature and risks associated with continuing involvement in derecognised financial assets.

AASB 7.31, 33 (a) Financial risk management objectives and policies Financial instruments held by the Authority are cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, loans and receivables, payables, bank overdraft, WATC/Bank borrowings, finance leases, and Treasurer’s advances. The Authority has limited exposure to financial risks. The Authority’s overall risk management program focuses on managing the risks identified below.

Credit risk arises when there is the possibility of the Authority’s receivables defaulting on their contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Authority.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the end of the reporting period in relation to each class of recognised financial assets is the gross carrying amount of those assets inclusive of any allowance for impairment as shown in the table at Note 46(c) ‘Financial instruments disclosures’ and Note 25 ‘Receivables’.

Credit risk associated with the Authority’s financial assets is minimal because the main receivable is the amounts receivable for services (holding account). For receivables other than government, the Authority trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties. The Authority has policies in place to ensure that sales of products and services are made to customers with an appropriate credit history. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Authority’s exposure to bad debts is minimal. At the end of the reporting period there were no significant concentrations of credit risk.

Commentary: Disclose policies for managing any past due receivables. Allowance for impairment of financial assets is calculated based on objective evidence such as observable data in client credit ratings. For financial assets that are either past due or impaired, refer to Note 46(c) ‘Financial instrument disclosures’.

AASB 7.33, 39(c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk arises when the Authority is unable to meet its financial obligations as they fall due.

The Authority is exposed to liquidity risk through its trading in the normal course of business.

The Authority has appropriate procedures to manage cash flows including drawdown of appropriations by monitoring forecast cash flows to ensure that sufficient funds are available to meet its commitments.

AASB 7.33 Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates will affect the Authority’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The Authority does not trade in foreign currency and is not materially exposed to other price risks [for example, equity securities or commodity prices changes]. The Authority’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the long-term debt obligations.

All borrowings are due to the Western Australian Treasury Corporation (WATC) and are repayable at fixed rates with varying maturities. Other than as detailed in the interest rate sensitivity analysis table at Note 46(c), the Authority is not exposed to interest rate risk because the majority of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are non-interest bearing and it has no borrowings other than the Treasurer’s advance (non-interest bearing), WATC borrowings and finance leases (fixed interest rate).

AASB 7.33 Commentary: Disclose any changes from the previous period in respect of the exposures for each type of risk, such as how they arise, how they are managed and the methods used to measure such risks.

Commentary: An example of longer term trend data is shown above. This is also an appropriate place to provide graphs and charts. Insert a brief description of the services provided and a statement of how each service contributes to the identified agency level government desired outcome. Key Performance Indicators are to be disclosed in the annual report in accordance with TI 904. In addition to the information disclosed on outcomes and services in the report on operations, all accountable authorities are required to disclose: the relationship between government goals, agency level government desired

outcomes and services; key performance indicators of effectiveness; and key performance indicators of efficiency and cost effectiveness (if applicable). Key effectiveness indicators provide information on the extent to which agency level government desired outcomes have been achieved through the funding and production of agreed services. For Statutory Authorities that are the subject of a separate division of the Consolidated Account Expenditure Estimates, the agency level government desired outcomes are those specified in the Budget Statements. For off-budget agencies, the government agency level Government desired outcomes will need to be either identified within the relevant enabling legislation or specified/endorsed by the Minister. Agencies are encouraged to supplement their reporting of effectiveness with narrative. This narrative may include comment on the projected timing of outcomes to be achieved in the long term. It is also appropriate for agencies to identify and discuss influences on achievement of outcomes other than their own services. These influences may include services provided by other agencies, or factors such as social or demographic trends. Key efficiency indicators generally relate services to the level of resource inputs required to deliver them. In some cases ‘per unit cost’ information provided in the budget process may fulfil the key performance indicator reporting requirement. In other cases cost per unit information may need to be aggregated, or productivity indicators used. Key cost effectiveness indicators are a type of key effectiveness indicator. They relate outcomes directly to inputs. In addition to providing key cost effectiveness indicators where there are no suitable key efficiency indicators, agencies are encouraged to also report cost effectiveness indicators where doing so adds value to reporting information. Further information on, and discussion of, agency level government desired outcomes, services and key performance indicators are available in the Treasury publication Outcome Based Management: Guidelines for Use in the Western Australian Public Sector.

At the date of reporting, no senior officers, or firms of which senior officers are members, or entities in which senior officers have substantial interests, had any interests in existing or proposed contracts with the Model Statutory Authority other than normal contracts of employment of service.

Commentary: The above disclosure is an example therefore agencies should consider their own circumstances in addressing the requirements of TI 903(14).

TI 903(13)(iv) Unauthorised Use of Credit Cards Officers of the Model Statutory Authority hold corporate credit cards where their functions warrant usage of this facility. Despite each cardholder being reminded of their obligations annually under the Model Statutory Authority’s credit card policy, one employee inadvertently utilised the corporate credit card for parking at an event that they were not attending in an official capacity. The matter was not referred for disciplinary action as the Chief Finance Officer noted prompt advice and settlement of the personal use amount, and, that the nature of the expenditure was immaterial and characteristic of an honest mistake.

Commentary: The above disclosure is an example therefore agencies should consider their own circumstances in addressing the requirements of TI 903(13)(iv).

TI 903(15) Other Legal Requirements Annual Estimates FMA sec 40 TI 953

Commentary: Section 40 of the FMA provides for the accountable authority of a statutory authority to submit annual estimates of the annual operations of the statutory authority to the Minister for approval. The estimates are to be prepared and submitted to the Minister at such times as determined by the Treasurer, or no later than three months before the commencement of the next reporting period. Statutory authorities not funded as a separate Division of the Consolidated Account Expenditure Estimates should include the approved annual estimates for the current reporting period in the annual report of the preceding reporting period submitted to the responsible Minister under the provisions of section 63 of the Act.
