Grants received Term deposits Grants are recognised as revenue when they become receivable unless there is an obligation in substance to return the funds if conditions of the grant are not met. If there is such an obligation, the grants are initially recorded as grants received in advance and recognised as revenue when conditions of the grant are satisfied. Term deposits include funds on deposit at banks with an original maturity of more than three months but not more than twelve months and are initially measured at the amount invested. Grant expenditure Discretionary grants are those grants where the Commission has no obligation to award on the receipt of a grant application and are recognised as expenditure when approved by the Commission and the approval has been communicated to the applicant. Project and programme costs Costs that are directly attributable to a project or programme activity are reported in the statement of comprehensive revenue and expense as project and programme costs. This includes the cost of travel where the primary purpose of the travel relates to the project or programme activity. Receivables Short-term receivables are recorded at their face value, less any provision for impairment. A receivable is considered impaired when there is evidence that the Commission will not be able to collect the amount due. The amount of the impairment is the difference between the carrying amount of the receivable and the present value of the amounts expected to be collected. Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment consists of equipment, furniture and fittings, leasehold improvements, library books and motor vehicles. Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Leases Additions Operating leases The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised as an asset when it is probable that future economic benefits or service potential associated with the item will flow to the Commission and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. An operating lease is a lease that does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset to the lessee. Lease payments under an operating lease are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease incentives received are recognised in the surplus or deficit in the statement of comprehensive revenue and expense as a reduction in rental expense over the lease term. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and funds on deposit at banks with an original maturity of three months or less. Annual Report 2016 Work in progress is measured at cost less impairment and is not depreciated. In most instances, an item of property, plant and equipment is initially recognised at its cost. Where an asset is acquired through a non-exchange transaction, it is recognised at its fair value at the date of acquisition. Disposals Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount of the asset. Gains and losses on disposals are reported as a net amount in the surplus or deficit in the statement of comprehensive revenue and expense. 51
