7 NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES This financial report is a special purpose financial report prepared in order to satisfy the financial report preparation requirements of the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission Act The directors have determined that the company is not a reporting entity. The financial report is for the entity National Association of Community Legal Centres as an individual entity. National Association of Community Legal Centres is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. National Association of Community Legal Centres is a not-for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements. The financial report has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission Act 2012 and the following Accounting Standards: AASB 101: Presentation of Financial Statements AASB 107: Statement of Cash Flows AASB 108: Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors AASB 1048: Interpretation of Standards AASB 1054: Australian Additional Disclosures The following specific accounting policies, which are consistent with the previous period unless otherwise stated, have been adopted in the preparation of this report: (a) Basis of preparation of the financial report Historical Cost Convention The financial report has been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by revaluations to fair value for certain classes of assets and liabilities as described in the accounting policies. Significant accounting estimates The preparation of the financial report requires the use of certain estimates and judgements in applying the entity's accounting policies. Those estimates and judgements significant to the financial report are disclosed in Note 3. (b) Revenue Grant income, conference and insurance is recognised as revenue in the year to which the associated expenditure and grant funding agreement relates. Accordingly, the income received in the current year for expenditure in future years are treated as grants or income in advance. Unexpected specific grant income at 30 June each year is disclosed as a liability in the financial statements. The amount brought to account as income is equivalent to that amount expensed by the Company during the financial year. Where surplus funds are required to be repaid, they will remain as a liability in the financial statements until repayment. Grants received in relation to acquisition or construction of a capital asset have been taken to income on receipt of the grant

8 NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Membership fees are recognised as revenue when no significant uncertainty as to its collectability exists, if the fee relates only to membership and all other services or products are paid for separately, or if there is a separate annual subscription. Membership fees are recognised on a basis that reflects the timing, nature and value of the benefit provided if the fee entitles the member to services or publications to be provided during the membership period, or to purchase goods or services at prices lower than those charged to nonmembers. Revenue from organising and hosting events is recognised in the period in which the events are held. Interest revenue is recognised when it becomes receivable on a proportional basis taking in to account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets. All revenue is measured net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST). (c) Income tax No provision for income tax has been raised as the company is exempt from income tax under Division 50 of the Income Tax Assessment Act (d) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and at banks, short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less held at call with financial institutions, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial position. (e) Financial instruments Classification The company classifies its financial assets in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, and available-for-sale financial assets. The classification depends on the nature of the item and the purpose for which the instruments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial instruments at initial recognition. Held-to-maturity investments Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments, and the company intends to hold the investments to maturity. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method

9 NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (f) Property, plant and equipment Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Plant and equipment Plant and equipment is measured on the cost basis. Depreciation The depreciable amount of all property, plant and equipment is depreciated over their estimated useful lives commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Land and the land component of any class of property, plant and equipment is not depreciated. Class of fixed asset Depreciation rates Depreciation basis Leasehold improvements at cost 33.33% Straight line Office equipment at cost 10.00% % Straight line Computer equipment at cost 33.33% Straight line (g) Impairment Assets are assessed for impairment whenever events or circumstances arise that indicate the asset may be impaired. An impairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the asset's recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset is defined as the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Impairment losses in respect of individual assets are recognised immediately in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount such as property, plant and equipment, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease in accordance with the applicable Standard. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows which will be received from the assets employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to present values in determining recoverable amounts. (h) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the company has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured

10 NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (i) Leases Leases are classified at their inception as either operating or finance leases based on the economic substance of the agreement so as to reflect the risks and benefits incidental to ownership. Operating leases Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straightline basis over the life of the lease term. (j) Employee benefits (i) Short-term employee benefit obligations Liabilities arising in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, accumulated sick leave and any other employee benefits (other than termination benefits) expected to be settled wholly before twelve months after the end of the annual reporting period are measured at the (undiscounted) amounts based on remuneration rates which are expected to be paid when the liability is settled. The expected cost of shortterm employee benefits in the form of compensated absences such as annual leave and accumulated sick leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits. All other short-term employee benefit obligations are presented as payables in the statement of financial position. (ii) Long-term employee benefit obligations The provision for other long-term employee benefits, including obligations for long service leave and annual leave, which are not expected to be settled wholly before twelve months after the end of the reporting period, are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflow to be made in respect of the services provided by employees up to the reporting date. Other long-term employee benefit obligations are presented as current liabilities in the statement of financial position if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur. All other long-term employee benefit obligations are presented as non-current liabilities in the statement of financial position. (k) Goods and services tax (GST) Revenues, expenses and purchased assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST. Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows

11 NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (l) Comparatives Where necessary, comparative information has been reclassified and repositioned for consistency with current year disclosures. (m) Adoption of new and amended accounting standards that are first operative There are no new and amended accounting standards effective for the financial year beginning 1 July 2015 which affect any amounts recorded in the current or prior year. NOTE 2: ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE The AASB has issued a number of new and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have mandatory application dates for future reporting periods, some of which are relevant to the company. The company has decided not to early adopt any of these new and amended pronouncements. The company's assessment of the new and amended pronouncements that are relevant to the company but applicable in future reporting periods is set out below. AASB 9: Financial Instruments (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2018). The Standard will replace AASB 139: Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The key changes that may affect the company on initial application of AASB 9 and associated amending Standards include:! simplifying the general classifications of financial assets into those carried at amortised cost and those carried at fair value;! permitting entities to irrevocably elect on initial recognition to present gains and losses on an equity instrument that is not held for trading in other comprehensive income (OCI);! requiring an entity that chooses to measure a financial liability at fair value to present the portion of the change in its fair value due to changes in the entity's own credit risk in OCI, except when it would create an 'accounting mismatch'; and! requiring impairment of financial assets carried at amortised cost to be based on an expected loss approach. Although the directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 9 may have an impact on the company's financial instruments, it is impracticable at this stage to provide a reasonable estimate of such impact

12 AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2018). AASB 15 will provide a single source of accounting requirements for all contracts with customers, thereby replacing all current accounting pronouncements on revenue. The standard provides a revised principle for recognising and measuring revenue. Under AASB 15, revenue is recognised in a manner that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the provider of the goods or services expects to be entitled. Although the directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 15 may have an impact on the company's reported revenue, it is impracticable at this stage to provide a reasonable estimate of such impact. AASB 16: Leases (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2019). AASB 16 will replace AASB 117: Leases and introduces a single lessee accounting model that will require a lessee to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. Right-of-use assets are initially measured at their cost and lease liabilities are initially measured on a present value basis. Subsequent to initial recognition:! right-of-use assets are accounted for in accordance with a cost model unless the underlying asset is accounted for on a revaluation basis, in which case if the underlying asset is;! investment property, the lessee applies the fair value model in AASB 140: Investment Property to the right-of-use asset; or! property, plant or equipment, the lessee can elect to apply the revaluation model in AASB 116: Property, Plant and Equipment to all of the right-of-use assets that relate to that class of property, plant and equipment; and! lease liabilities are accounted for on a similar basis as other financial liabilities, whereby interest expense is recognised in respect of the liability and the carrying amount of the liability is reduced to reflect lease payments made. Although the directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 16 may have an impact on the company s accounting for its operating leases, it is impracticable at this stage to provide a reasonable estimate of such impact

13 NOTE 3: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS In the application of the Company's accounting policies, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
