Notes to the financial statements (cont.)

5. Other assets and liabilities

This section sets out those assets and liabilities that arose from the CCYP’s controlled operations and includes other assets utilised for economic benefits and liabilities incurred during normal operations:

5.1 Receivables

Funds held in the special purpose account for the purpose of meeting the 27th pay in a reporting period that occurs every 11 year. This account is classified as non-current for the year before the 27th pay year.

Accrued salaries account contains amounts paid annually into the Treasurer’s special purpose account. It is restricted for meeting the additional cash outflow for employee salary payments in reporting periods with 27 pay days instead of the normal 26. No interest is received on this account.

The account has been reclassified from ‘Cash and cash equivalents’ to ‘Receivables’ as it is considered that funds in the account are not cash but a right to receive the cash in future. Comparative amounts have also been reclassified. The CCYP does not hold any collateral or other credit enhancements as security for receivables.

5.2 Amounts receivable for services (Holding Account)

Amounts receivable for services represent the non-cash component of service appropriations. It is restricted in that it can only be used for asset replacement or payment of leave liability.

The amounts receivable for services are financial assets at amortised cost, and are not considered impaired (i.e. there is no expected credit loss of the holding accounts).

5.3 Payables

Payables are recognised at the amounts payable when the CCYP becomes obliged to make future payments because of a purchase of assets or services. The carrying amount is equivalent to fair value as settlement for the CCYP is generally within 10-20 working days.

Accrued salaries represent the amount due to staff but unpaid at the end of the reporting period. Accrued salaries are settled within a fortnight after the reporting period. The CCYP considers the carrying amount of accrued
salaries to be equivalent to its fair value.

1 Trade payables include accounts payable, credit card accruals, and inter-company payable.

6. Financing

This section sets out the material balances and disclosures associated with the financing and cash flows of the CCYP.

6.1 Lease liabilities

At the commencement date of the lease, the CCYP recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease which is provided by State Fleet in their calculation model.

State Fleet determines what lease payments are included as part of the present value calculation of lease liability.

The interest on the lease liability is recognised in profit or loss over the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. Lease liabilities do not include any future changes in variable lease payments (that depend on an index or rate) until they take effect, in which case the lease liability is reassessed and adjusted against the right-of-use asset.

Subsequent measurement
Lease liabilities are measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liabilities; reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made; and remeasuring the carrying amount at amortised cost, subject to adjustments to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications.

This section should be read in conjunction with note 4.2 on the previous page.
