1 s Updated as at 17 February 2017 This document outlines all standards issued by the AASB and the IASB which will be applicable for the first time or available for early adoption by for-profit entities (not-for-profit entities should refer to Not-for-profit Standards on Issue) for any financial year ending on or after 30 June It will assist preparers of financial reports to: ensure all AASBs and Interpretations that are mandatory for adoption have been applied in the correct period identify and consider AASBs and Interpretations not yet mandatory which may have relevance to an entity upon adoption. AASB 108 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors requires specific disclosures to be made when the adoption of a new or revised AASB or Interpretation results in a change in existing policy or new policy that is significant. AASB 108 also requires disclosure of the possible impact of relevant AASBs and Interpretations on issue but not yet adopted. Tables 1 and 2 serve as a checklist to assist in the preparation of such disclosures. IASB awaiting approval by AASB Table 1: contains all standards and interpretation issued by the IASB that the AASB has yet to endorse. In order to claim compliance with IFRSs, entities must disclose the possible impact of relevant IASBs and IFRIC Interpretations on issue but not yet adopted. Accordingly, the impact of the IASBs and IFRICs in Table 1 would need to be included in such disclosures, if relevant. These standards and interpretation cannot be (early) adopted until made by the AASB. AASBs and interpretations currently on issue Table 2: includes all standards and interpretations available for early adoption at 30 June Table 3: contains all standards and interpretations that are mandatorily applicable for the first time for years ended 30 June Entities should ensure that they have adopted all of these standards in the 30 June 2017 financial statements. The standards and interpretations in Table 2 above are available for early adoption for entities preparing financial statements for this period. Table 4: includes all standards and interpretations applicable for the first time in years ending on or prior to 30 June The standards in Tables 2 and 3 above are generally available for early adoption for entities preparing financial statements for these periods. For those entities who have adopted AASB 1053 Applications of Tiers of Australian Accounting Standards Tables 2 and 3 only provides those standards, amendments and interpretations applicable to Tier 1 entities. For Tier 2 entities this document outlines those standards that will have an impact on recognition and measurement only. Further information Links to the relevant KPMG resources (IFRS News, In the Headlines or Reporting Updates) are included with each of the standards. In some cases the KPMG resources may not have been released as yet for all new standards and interpretations included in this edition of Standards on issue.

Short-term leases (less than 12 months) and leases of low-value assets (such as personal computers) are exempt from the lease accounting requirements. There are also changes in accounting over the life of the lease. In particular, companies will now recognise a front-loaded pattern of expense for most leases, even when they pay constant annual rentals. Lessor accounting remains similar to current practice i.e. lessors continue to classify leases as finance and operating leases. The AASB has issued the complete AASB 9. The new standard includes revised guidance on the classification and measurement of financial assets, including a new expected credit loss model for calculating impairment, and supplements the new general hedge accounting requirements previously published. It supersedes AASB 9 (issued in December 2009 as amended) and AASB 9 (issued in December 2010 as amended). The application of the existing versions of AASB 9 (AASB 9 (December 2009) and AASB 9 (December 2010 including the hedging amendments made in December 2013)) from 1 February 2015 is limited to entities that have already early adopted them. Early adoption will be permitted for entities that also adopt AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Retrospective application with some exemptions. Early adoption is permitted for financial years beginning on or after 24 July The restatement of prior periods is not required, and is permitted only if information is available without the use of hindsight. 3

The model features a contract-based five-step analysis of transactions to determine whether, how much and when revenue is recognised. The amendments require the full gain or loss to be recognised when the assets transferred meet the definition of a business under AASB 3 Business Combinations (whether housed in a subsidiary or not). The IASB postponed the effective date of this amendment indefinitely pending the outcome of its research project on the equity method of accounting. Deferring the effective date indefinitely in the Australian jurisdiction may have unintended legal consequences given AASBs are legislative instruments. Accordingly, the AASB has deferred the effective date of the amendments to 1 January The amendments clarify: cash-settled share-based payments should be measured using the same approach as for equity-settled share-based payments i.e. the modified grant date method; classification of share-based payments settled net of tax withholdings; and accounting for a modification of a share-based payment from cash-settled to equity-settled. Choice of retrospective application, or as of the application date using the cumulative effect approach. Practical expedients are available to those taking a retrospective approach. Prospective application as a practical simplification. Retrospective, or early, application is permitted if have the required information. 4

The amendments clarify: an entity should transfer a property to, or from, investment property when, and only when, there is evidence of a change in use; and designate the list of evidence in paragraph 57(a) (d) as a non-exhaustive list of examples instead of the previous exhaustive list. IFRIC 22 clarifies the accounting for transactions that include the receipt or payment of advance consideration in a foreign currency.

Guidance on how to determine future taxable profit for the recognition test is also provided. Additional disclosures to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes (such as effects of changes in foreign exchange rates and changes in fair values).

The standard applies to large superannuation entities regulated by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) and to public sector superannuation entities. It does not apply to selfmanaged superannuation funds or small APRA funds. The AASB has reissued most of its Standards (and Interpretations) that incorporate IFRSs to make editorial changes. The editorial changes will enable the AASB to issue Australian versions of IFRSs more efficiently. As part of the reissuance, the AASB has moved the application paragraphs that identify the reporting entities and general purpose financial statements to which the pronouncements apply to a new Standard, AASB 1057 Application of Australian Accounting Standards. However, the technical application requirements have not been amended. Under the amendments: an investment entity parent is required to fair value a subsidiary providing investment-related services that is itself an investment entity; Prospective application, except that on initial application superannuation entities need not present a statement of financial position as at the beginning of the earliest comparative period. Retrospective application. 7

8 AASBs and Interpretations KPMG publication Key requirements Transitional Provisions Standards on Issue an intermediate parent owned by an investment entity group is exempt from preparing consolidated financial statements; and when a non-investment entity investor applies the equity method, it is permitted to retain the fair value accounting applied by its investment entity associate or joint venture. The amendments do not require any significant change to current practice, but should facilitate improved reporting, including an emphasis on only including material disclosures, clarity on the aggregation and disaggregation of line items, the presentation of subtotals, the ordering of notes and the identification of significant accounting policies. Amendments to existing accounting standards, particularly in relation to: AASB 5 guidance on changes in method of disposal AASB 7 clarifies continuing involvement for servicing contracts AASB 7 clarifies offsetting disclosures are not specifically required in interim financial statements, but may be included under the general requirements of IAS 34 AASB 119 clarifies that discount rates used should be in the same currency as the benefits are to be paid AASB 134 clarifies that disclosures may be incorporated in the interim financial statements by cross-reference to another part of the interim financial report. AASB Amendments to Disclosure Initiative: Amendments to AASB 101 Making financial statements more relevant AASB Amendments to Annual Improvements to Australian Accounting Standards Cycle The Balancing Items Issue 7 Generally retrospective application for AASB 7, AASB 119 and AASB 134.

However, the produce growing on bearer plants will continue to be measured at fair value less costs to sell under AASB 141 Agriculture. Interim guidance permitting first-time adopters of AASBs to continue using previous GAAP to account for regulatory deferral account balances while the IASB completes its comprehensive project in this area. Introduces a rebuttable presumption that the use of revenue-based amortisation methods for intangible assets is inappropriate. Limited opportunity for presumption to be overcome. Clarifies that revenue-based depreciation for property, plant and equipment cannot be used. Business combination accounting required to be applied to acquisitions of interests in a joint operation that meets the definition of a business under AASB 3 Business Combinations. Retrospective application. Standards on Issue On transition, a company can elect to use the fair value of bearer plants as at the beginning of the earliest comparative reporting period as deemed cost at that date. 9
