Financial Position (continued)
Impairment
All assets were assessed for impairment at 30 June 2024.
Where indications of impairment exist, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated and an impairment adjustment made if the
asset’s recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount.
The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Value in use is the
present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. Where the future economic benefit of an asset is
not primarily dependent on the asset’s ability to generate future cash flows, and the asset would be replaced if the Commission
were deprived of the asset, its value in use is taken to be its depreciated replacement cost.
Derecognition
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are
expected from its use or disposal.
Intangibles
The Commission’s intangibles comprise internally developed software for internal use. These assets are carried at cost less
accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
Software is amortised on a straight-line basis over its anticipated useful life. The useful lives of the Commission’s software are 2
to 5 years (2023: 2 to 5 years).
All software assets were assessed for indications of impairment as at 30 June 2024, and no indicators were noted.
Accounting Judgements and Estimates
The fair value of infrastructure, plant and equipment has been taken to be the market value of similar assets as determined by an
independent valuer.
