PREFACE
Standards Amended by AASB 2009-12
This Standard makes amendments to a number of Australian Accounting Standards (including Interpretations), as listed in paragraph 1 of this Standard.
AASB 8 Operating Segments is amended as a result of the issuance of revised AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures in December 2009.
All the other amendments principally arise from editorial corrections made by the IASB to its Standards and Interpretations (IFRSs) and by the AASB to its pronouncements.
Main Features of this Standard
Application Date
This Standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011. Early adoption is permitted for annual reporting periods beginning on or after I January 2005 but before 1 January 2011.
In respect of AASB 8, this Standard amends paragraph 34 of AASB 8 for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011. If an entity applies AASB 124 (revised 2009) for an earlier period, it shall apply the amendment to paragraph 34 of AASB 8 for that earlier period.
Main Requirements
The amendment to AASB 8 requires an entity to exercise judgement in assessing whether a government and entities known to be under the control of that government are considered a single customer for the purposes of certain operating segment disclosures.
This Standard also makes numerous editorial amendments to a range of Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations, including amendments to reflect changes made to the text of IFRSs by the IASB.
These amendments have no major impact on the requirements of the amended pronouncements.
