(section 3)
REQUIREMENTS AND GUIDANCE FOR THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF COMMONWEALTH AGENCIES AND AUTHORITIES
Financial years ending on or after 30 June 2002
COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA
Department of Finance and Administration
I Introduction
This document is issued as a set of accounting and budgeting policies to be applied across the Commonwealth public sector. As such, it is intended that the same policies will apply to all reporting entities covered by section 49 of the Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997 (FMA) and by clause 1, Schedule 1, to the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies Act 1997 (CAC). The guidance set out in this document is to apply for the financial year 2001-02 and for subsequent financial years until it is amended.
The “black letter” (ie. text in bold) sets out the Finance Minister’s Orders under the respective FMA and CAC.
The “grey letter” (ie. text that is not in bold) comprises “explanatory notes and guidance” which does not form part of the formal Schedule but is intended to assist in its interpretation. The “grey letter” also provides, where necessary, additional guidance on the particular requirements of Budget preparation or monthly reporting. This guidance may be modified from time to time by the Department of Finance and Administration (Finance) as the need arises (for example, in response to requests by agencies or authorities for further clarification of particular policies).
This document aims to facilitate the integrated budgeting, management and reporting framework for the Commonwealth. This framework involves:
·preparing annual consolidated financial statements on an accrual basis for the whole of the Commonwealth Government (including statements for the General Government, Public Trading Enterprise and Public Finance Enterprise sectors), audited by the Auditor-General (commenced in 1996–97);
·presenting the Budget on a full accrual basis;
·consistent with the Charter of Budget Honesty Act 1998, extending the coverage of the Budget to include all agencies and authorities in the ‘general government sector’ (that is, those entities predominantly funded from taxation);
·funding general government sector entities on a basis that more closely reflects that of private sector businesses, in accordance with the price, quantity and quality of outputs produced by the entity (termed an ‘outputs–outcomes framework’);
·appropriating money on an accrual basis without unspent amounts automatically lapsing;
·presenting monthly financial information;
·accrual accounting systems of agencies and authorities, co-ordinated by a central accrual accounting system (AIMS), including a Cash and Appropriation Management Module (CAMM); and
·devolved financial exchange and banking arrangements for agencies.
The policies and guidance in the manual provide a consistent basis for preparing financial reports and budgets by all agencies and authorities. This assists:
·users in assessing and comparing financial performance of individual agencies and authorities;
·the Government in presenting the Budget on a full accrual basis; and
·the Finance Minister in preparing reliable consolidated financial statements.
An important aim of the framework is to provide comparability between ex post and ex ante (budgeted) financial reports. This document will assist in achieving that aim.
The framework for the requirements in this document incorporate:
·Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Standard Setting Boards (including guidance releases);
·Urgent Issues Group consensus views;
·Australian Statements of Accounting Concepts;
·financial reporting policy; and
·guidance on financial reporting.
This document addresses the legislative requirements for financial reporting, and includes financial reporting policies and guidance.
The financial reporting policies are the mandatory principles, bases or rules adopted in preparing and presenting general-purpose financial reports, including budgets. The policies:
·cover issues not dealt with in Australian Accounting Standards or legislation;
·specify the preferred alternative(s) when the standards or legislation permit choice; and
·clarify any ambiguity in the standards or legislation.
The document mandates Australian Accounting Standards and is concerned with providing relevant and reliable information for users of financial reports and enabling the discharge of accountability by chief executives and directors.
The guidance to the financial reporting policies provide the rationale and concepts underlying the financial reporting policies and are intended to assist in their interpretation and consistent application.

III Assets, Liabilities, Equity, Revenues and Expenses
The policies and guidance included in this section are:
7 Restructuring

9 Departmental Price of Outputs Appropriations
Appropriations Disclosures
Reporting of Outcomes and Outputs
12 Receivables
13 Software
14 Land, Buildings, Infrastructure, Plant and Equipment
15 Recoverable Amount

20 Act of Grace Payments, Waivers and Defective Administration Scheme
21 Restricted Assets
22 Assets Held in Trust
23 Remuneration of Auditors
24 Sales of Assets by the Office of Asset Sales and Information Technology Outsourcing
7 Restructuring
Policy
7.1 This policy applies in relation to the transfer of assets and/or the assumption of liabilities for no consideration (or for token consideration) as a result of a transfer of a function or functions:
(a) between Commonwealth entities; or
(b) between departmental and administered classifications;
consequent to:
(c) a Cabinet decision; or
(d) an Administrative Arrangements Order (AAO) change; or
(e) an Act of Parliament or regulation under an Act; or
(f) a written agreement between the Finance Minister and relevant portfolio Minister.
7.2 The net book values (less any token consideration) of assets and liabilities transferred in accordance with clause 7.1 must be treated as contributions by, or distributions to, owners and recognised as direct adjustments to equity for the transferor and transferee entities, in accordance with UIG 38.
7.3 Paragraphs 10.6 – 10.12 of AAS 29 apply to authorities subject to the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies Act1997, as if ‘agency’ were substituted for ‘department’.
7.4 A transfer between two administered entities does not result in any revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities or contributions by owners because administered entities are branches of the same entity (the Government). A transfer of an administered asset or liability should therefore be adjusted to equity (retained surpluses or accumulated deficits) at existing book value.
8 Departmental Capital Appropriations
Policy
8.1 Where the amount of a departmental equity injection appropriation is not dependant on specified future events (eg. for initial working capital) it must be recognised as a direct increase in ‘Contributed equity’, when the appropriation becomes effective (generally 1 July).
8.2 Where the amount of a departmental equity injection appropriation is dependant upon specified future events that require future performance (eg. construction of capital works) it must be recognised as a direct increase in ‘Contributed equity’, as the appropriation is drawn down.
8.3 Departmental loan appropriations must be recognised as increases in borrowings, as the appropriation is drawn down.
9 Departmental Price of Outputs Appropriations
Policy
9.1 There is a rebuttable presumption that the full amount of the appropriation for outputs should be recognised as revenue in the year of appropriation. In the instance that any variation between appropriation and revenue ‘earned’ for the respective period arises, providing that the variation is measurable, either accrued or unearned revenue should be recognised.
10 Appropriations Disclosures

IV Contingencies and Commitments
From time to time Commonwealth entities enter into agreements and other arrangements that do not lead to the reporting of assets, liabilities, revenues or expenses but may result in the sacrifice of future economic benefits. This information is important to users of financial statements in assessing an entity’s financial position, having regard to such future risks and events. As a result of entering into these agreements and arrangements, the policies that follow require an entity to disclose potential assets, liabilities, revenues or expenses that are dependent on an event or events occurring in the future prior to recognition.
The policies and guidance included in this section are:
25 Contingencies
26 Commitments
25 Contingencies
Policy
25.1 Contingencies are conditions that exist at the reporting date that may give rise to an asset (or revenue/gain) or a liability (or loss/expense) on the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events that are outside the control of the agency or authority.
25.2 Contingencies must be disclosed in the Schedule of Contingencies, in accordance with Appendix A, unless the possibility of loss or gain is remote.
25.3 The Schedule of Contingencies must disclose sufficient information to:
(a) enable assessments of both the nature of, and the uncertainties which affect, the contingencies; and
(b) show separately the contingencies (or groups of contingencies) according to different levels of uncertainty of possible gain or loss.
25.4 Particulars of material contingencies excluded from the Schedule of Contingencies because they are remote must be disclosed in a note to the financial statements.
26 Commitments
Policy
26.1 Commitments are;
(a) intentions to create liabilities, as evidenced by undertakings, to make future payments to other entities; and
(b) unrecognised liabilities that are Agreements Equally Proportionately Unperformed (AEPU’s).
26.2 The nature and ‘where quantifiable’ the amount of each category of commitments must be disclosed in a schedule of commitments in accordance with Appendix A.
