Critical judgements in applying
accounting policies
Computer software
The Commission has exercised judgement to
determine whether expenditure on developing
and configuring an Electronic Document Records
Management System and intranet meets the criteria
for recognition as an intangible asset. This included
2
an assessment of whether the expenditure creates an
item that can be identified and separated from the
Commission, is under the control of the Commission,
and will provide future economic benefits or
service potential. Because the software is provided
as an annual subscription service and the license
agreement cannot be on-sold to a third party the
criteria for recognition as an intangible asset has
not been met. Accordingly, the cost to configure the
software has been expensed.
Comparative information
When presentation or classification of items in
the financial statements is amended or accounting
policies are changed voluntarily, comparative figures
are restated to ensure consistency with the current
period unless it is impracticable to do so.
