7.6 Australian Accounting Standards issued that are not yet effective
As at 30 June 2019, the following applicable standards and interpretations had been issued but were not mandatory for the financial period ending 30 June 2019. The Authority has not and does not intend to adopt these standards early.
| Standard/ Interpretation(1) |
Summary | Effective date | Effective date for the entity |
Estimated impact |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AASB 1059 Service Concession Arrangements: Grantor |
This standard prescribes the accounting treatment of public private partnership (PPP) arrangements involving a private sector operator providing public services related to a service concession asset on behalf of the State, for a specified period of time. For social infrastructure PPP arrangements, this would result in an earlier recognition of financial liabilities progressively over the construction period rather than at completion date. For economic infrastructure PPP arrangements that were previously not on balance sheet, the standard will require recognition of these arrangements on balance sheet. | 1/1/20 | 1/7/19 | Based on a preliminary assessment by the Authority, there will be no impact as the Authority has not entered into any PPP arrangements. |
| AASB 16 Leases | The key changes introduced by AASB 16 include the recognition of most operating leases (which are currently not recognised) on the Balance Sheet, which has an impact on net debt. | 1/1/19 | 1/7/19 | Based on a preliminary assessment by the Authority, there will be an estimated $0.6 million increase to both assets and liabilities on the balance sheet (net impact of $nil). This represents an operating lease that is currently in place for the office building. |
| AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers | The core principle of AASB 15 requires an entity to recognise revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to a customer. | 1/1/19 | 1/7/19 |
Based on a preliminary assessment by the Authority, the changes in revenue recognition under AASB 15 will have no impact on the timing and amount of revenue recorded in the financial statements. The full impact of the additional disclosures on service revenue and contract modification will also have no impact. |
| AASB 1058 Income of Not-for-Profit Entities | AASB 1058 standard will replace AASB 1004 Contributions and establishes principles for transactions that are not within the scope of AASB 15, where the consideration to acquire an asset is significantly less than fair value to enable not-for-profit entities to further their objective. The restructure of administrative arrangement will remain under AASB 1004. | 1/1/19 | 1/7/19 |
Based on a preliminary assessment by the Authority, Grants funds received over the next 3 years to partially offset the operational costs of the Authority are not based on an enforceable agreement that have specific |
| AASB 2016–8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Australian Implementation Guidance for Not-for-Profit Entities |
This standard amends AASB 9 and AASB 15 to include requirements and implementation guidance to assist not-for-profit entities in applying the respective standards to particular transactions and events. The amendments require non-contractual receivable arising from statutory requirements (i.e. taxes, rates and fines) to be initially measured and recognised in accordance with AASB 9 as if those receivables are financial instruments; and clarifies circumstances when a contract with a customer is within the scope of AASB 15. |
1/1/19 | 1/7/19 | Based on a preliminary assessment by the Authority, there will be no significant impact. |
| AASB 2018–8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Right of use asset |
This standard amends various AASB standards to provide an option for not-for-profit entities to not apply the fair value initial measurement requirements to a class or classes of right of use assets arising under leases with significantly below-market terms and conditions principally to enable the entity to further its objectives. This standard also adds additional disclosure requirements to AASB |
1/1/19 | 1/7/19 | Based on a preliminary assessment by the Authority, there will be no significant impact. |
| AASB 2018–7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Definition of Material |
This standard amends AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements and AASB 108 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors. The amendments refine the definition of material in AASB 10 Events after the Reporting Period, include some supporting requirements in AASB 101 in the definition to give it more prominence and clarify the explanation accompanying the definition of material. The amendments also clarify the definition of material and its application by improving the wording and aligning the definition across AASB standards and other publications. |
1/1/20 | 1/7/20 |
Based on a preliminary assessment by the Authority, there will be no significant impact. |
Notes:
(1) For the current year, given the number of consequential amendments to AASB 9 Financial Instruments and AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the standards/interpretations have been grouped together to provide a more relevant view of the upcoming changes.
The following accounting pronouncements are also issued but not effective for the 2018–19 reporting period. At this stage, the preliminary assessment suggests they may have insignificant impacts on public sector reporting.
- AASB 2017-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments
- AASB 2017-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation
- AASB 2017-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures
- AASB 2018-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Annual Improvements 2015 – 2017 Cycle
- AASB 2018-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Plan Amendments, Curtailment or Settlement
- AASB 2018-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements
