Superannuation
The Commission's staff are members of the Commonwealth Superannuation Scheme (CSS), the
Public Sector Superannuation Scheme (PSS), or the PSS accumulation plan (PSSap), or other
superannuation funds held outside the Australian Government. The CSS and PSS are defined
benefit schemes for the Australian Government. The PSSap is a defined contribution scheme.
The liability for defined benefits is recognised in the financial statements of the Australian
Government and is settled by the Australian Government in due course. This liability is reported
in the Department of Finance’s administered schedules and notes. The Commission makes
employer contributions to the employees' defined benefit superannuation scheme at rates
determined by an actuary to be sufficient to meet the current cost to the Government. The
Commission accounts for the contributions as if they were contributions to defined contribution
plans.
The liability for superannuation recognised as at 30 June represents outstanding contributions
for the final fortnight of the financial year.
Accounting Judgements and Estimates
The long service leave has been estimated in accordance with the FRR taking into account
expected salary growth, attrition and future discounting using the government bond rate.
4.2 Key Management Personnel Remuneration
Key management personnel are those persons having authority and
responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the
Commission. The Commission has determined the key management
personnel to be the President, Commissioners and Chief Executive.
