At each balance date, the useful lives and residual
values of property plant and equipment and
intangible assets are reviewed. Assessing the
appropriateness of useful life and residual value
estimates of property, plant and equipment and
intangible assets requires several factors to be
considered such as the physical condition of
the asset, expected period of use of the asset
by the Commission, and expected disposal
proceeds from the future sale of the asset. An
incorrect estimate of the useful life or residual
value will affect the depreciation or amortisation
expense recognised in the surplus or deficit in
the statement of comprehensive revenue and
expense, and the carrying amount of the asset in
the statement of financial position.
Notes 8 and 9 detail the carrying amounts of
property, plant and equipment and intangible
assets respectively.
Retirement and long-service leave
Note 7 details the critical estimates and
assumptions made in relation to retirement and
long service leave liabilities.
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.
There have been no restatements of comparative
information in the financial statements.
