New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 198

Notes to the Financial Statements 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. Reporting Entity The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Practice Council of New South Wales

(the Council), established on 1 July 2012 as a not-for-profit reporting entity with no cash generating units, performs the duties and functions contained in the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law (NSW) No 86a (the Law).

These financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2015 have been authorised for issue by the Council on 15 October 2015.

b. Basis of Preparation The Council has adopted the non going concern basis in the preparation of the financial

statements as it has been unable to secure sufficent funding to ensure it can continue operating. The adoption of the non going concern basis of accounting has not required any adjustments to the valuation of assets and labilities reported in the statement of financial position.

The Council’s financial statements are general purpose financial statements and have been prepared in accordance with:

• applicable Australian Accounting Standards (which include Australian Accounting Interpretations), and

• the requirements of the Public Finance and Audit Act 1983 and Regulation.

The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost.

Judgements, key assumptions and estimations management has made are disclosed in the relevant notes to the financial statements.

All amounts are rounded to the nearest dollar and are expressed in Australian currency.

c. Statement of Compliance The financial statements and notes comply with Australian Accounting Standards, which

include Australian Accounting Interpretations.

d. Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions The agreed cost sharing arrangements for the distribution of pooled costs between Health

Professional Councils were introduced effective 1 July 2012.

During August 2014 the NSW Health Professional Councils agreed to waive and absorb the obligation by the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Practitioner Council of New South Wales for the allocation of indirect pooled costs effective 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2015.

During August 2014 the following NSW Health Professional Councils being Chiropractic Council of New South Wales, Occupational Therapy Council of New South Wales and Physiotherapy Council of New South Wales agreed to waive and absorb the obligation by the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Practitioner Council of New South Wales for the allocation of direct labour costs effective 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2015.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Practice Council of NSW

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 199

These indirect costs are shown as part of the Council’s statement of comprehensive income under the following expense line items:

1. Personnel services 2. Rent and building expenses 3. Contracted labour 4. Depreciation and Amortisation 5. Postage and Communication 6. Printing and Stationery

e. Insurance The Council’s insurance activities are conducted through the NSW Treasury Managed Fund

Scheme of self-insurance for Government entities. The expense (premium) is determined by the Fund Manager based on past claim experience.

f. Accounting for the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Income, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except that:

• the amount of GST incurred by the Council as a purchaser that is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense, and

• receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. However, the GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Taxation Office are classified as operating cash flows.

g. Income Recognition Income is measured at the fair value of the consideration or contribution received or

receivable.

The National Registration and Accreditation Scheme (NRAS) for all health professionals commenced on 1 July 2010. NSW opted out of the complaint handling component of the National scheme and the health professional Councils were established in NSW effective from 1 July 2010 to manage the complaints function in a co-regulatory arrangement with the NSW Health Care Complaints Commission (HCCC). The Council was established on 1 July 2012 upon joining the NRAS.

Under s 26A of the Law, the complaints element of the registration fees payable by NSW health practitioners was decided by the Council established for that profession subject to approval by the Minister for Health.

The Council, under the Law, receives fees on a monthly basis from the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) being the agreed NSW complaints element for the 2015 registration fee.

Fees are progressively recognised as income by the Council as the annual registration period elapses. Fees in advance represent unearned income at balance date.

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 200

h. Personnel Services In accordance with an agreed Memorandum of Understanding, the Ministry of Health (MOH)

being the employer charges the Council for personnel services relating to the provision of all employees. Staff costs are shown in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as personnel services in the financial statements of the Council. Amounts owing for personnel services in the Statement of Financial Position represent amounts payable to the MOH in respect of personnel services.

i. Interest Revenue Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method as set out in AASB 139

Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.

j. Assets i. Acquisition of Assets

The cost method of accounting is used for the initial recording of all acquisitions of assets controlled by the Council. Cost is the amount of cash or cash equivalents paid or the fair value of the other consideration given to acquire the asset at the time of its acquisition or construction or, where applicable, the amount attributed to that asset when initially recognised in accordance with the requirements of other Australian Accounting Standards.

Assets acquired at no cost, or for nominal consideration, are initially recognised at their historical cost at the date of acquisition.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Where payment for an item is deferred beyond normal credit terms, its cost is the cash price equivalent, i.e. the deferred payment amount is effectively discounted at an asset-specific rate.

ii. Capitalisation Thresholds The Health Professional Councils Authority (HPCA) acquires all assets on behalf of the

Council. Shared use assets that cost over $5,000 at the time of purchase by the HPCA are capitalised. These capitalised shared use assets are then allocated to the Council using an appropriate allocation method. The minimum capitalisation threshold limits applied to the Council for the asset are Nil (all Council shared use asset), or Nil (Pitt Street shared use asset), whichever is applicable.

iii. Depreciation of Plant, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements

Depreciation and amortisation is provided for on a straight-line basis for all depreciable assets so as to write off the amounts of each asset as it is consumed over its useful life to the Council.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Practice Council of NSW

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 201

iv. Loans and Receivables Loans and receivables are recognised initially at fair value, usually based on the transaction

cost or face value. Subsequent measurement is at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less an allowance for any impairment of receivables. Short-term receivables with no stated interest rate are measured at the original invoice amount where the effect of discounting is immaterial. An allowance for impairment of receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Council will not be able to collect all amounts due. The amount of the allowance is the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. Bad debts are written off as incurred.

Depreciation and amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

Depreciation rates used are as follows: Plant and equipment 20% - 25% Furniture and fittings 16% - 20% Motor vehicles 25% - 29% Leasehold improvements 17% - 27.8%

v. Fair Value of Plant and Equipment There has been no revaluation on any of the Council’s plant and equipment as they are

non-specialised assets. Non-specialised assets with short useful lives are measured at depreciated historical cost as a surrogate for fair value.

vi. Maintenance Day-to-day servicing costs or maintenance are charged as expenses as incurred, except

where they relate to the replacement of a component of an asset, in which case the costs are capitalised and depreciated.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 202

k. Liabilities i. Trade and Other Payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Council and other amounts. Payables are recognised initially at fair value, usually based on the transaction cost or face value. Short-term payables with no stated interest rates are measured at the original invoice amount where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

ii. Personnel Services – Ministry of Health In accordance with an agreed Memorandum of Understanding, personnel services are

acquired from the MOH. As such the MOH accounting policy is below.

Liabilities for salaries and wages (including non-monetary benefits), recreation leave and paid sick leave that are due to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the service are recognised and measured in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date at undiscounted amounts based on the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

In accordance with NSWTC 15/09 ‘Accounting for Long Service Leave and Annual Leave’, the Council’s annual leave has been assessed as a short-term liability as these short-term benefits are expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employee renders the related services.

Unused non-vesting sick leave does not give rise to a liability as it is not considered probable that sick leave taken in the future will be greater than the benefits accrued in the future.

The outstanding amounts of payroll tax, workers’ compensation insurance premiums and fringe benefits tax, which are consequential to employment, are recognised as liabilities and expenses where the employee benefits to which they relate have been recognised.

All employees receive the Superannuation Guarantee Levy contribution. All superannuation benefits are provided on an accumulation basis – there are no defined benefits. Contributions are made by the entity to an employee superannuation fund and are charged as an expense when incurred.

l. Equity Accumulated Funds

The category ‘Accumulated Funds’ includes all current and prior period funds.

m. Comparative information Except when an Australian Accounting Standard permits or requires otherwise, comparative

information is disclosed in respect of the previous period for all amounts reported in the financial statements.

n. Grants and contributions There were two grants received from the Ministry of Health during 2015 ($10,000 for 2014/15

expenditures, $20,000 for 2015/16 expenditures) which been recorded as ‘income’ in the year of receipt. The grants are subject to the following conditions:

i. The grants are for the purposes of contributing to the running costs of the Council.

ii. Other than the grant for $10,000 for 2014/15 expenditures, if asked by the Ministry of Health, an account of the monies spent must be provided to the Ministry.

iii. Other than the grant for $10,000 for 2014/15 expenditures, if there are any of the unspent monies from the grants on 1 July 2015 and 1 July 2016 then, as soon as practicable after 1 July 2015 and 1 July 2016, the HPCA is to advise the Ministry of Health (Legal Branch) who will then determine whether the unspent monies should be returned to the Ministry of Health or continue to be used for the purposes of running the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Practitioner Council.

o. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalent assets in the statement of financial position would normally

comprise cash on hand, cash at bank and short-term deposits and include deposits in the NSW Treasury Corporation’s Hour-Glass cash facility, other Treasury Corporation deposits (less than 90 days) and other at-call deposits that are not quoted in the active market.

Bank overdrafts are included within liabilities.

p. Adoption of New and Revised Accounting Standards A number of new standards were applied from 1 July 2014, including AASB 10 Consolidated

Financial Statements and AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. The application of these new standards did not have a significant impact on the financial statements.

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 July 2015, and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. None of these are expected to have a significant effect on the financial statements of the Council.

NSW Treasury issued TC15/03 circular which states none of the new revised Standards of Interpretations are to be adopted early.

The standards that are relevant to the Council are as follows:

a) AASB 9, AASB 2010-7 and AASB Financial Instruments 2012-6 regarding financial instruments (2015/2016)

b) AASB 2014-4 regarding acceptable methods of depreciation and amortisation

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 208

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Practice Council of NSW

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

b. Credit Risk

Credit risk arises when there is the possibility of the Council’s debtors defaulting on their contractual obligations, resulting in a financial loss to the Council. The maximum exposure to credit risk is generally represented by the carrying amount of the financial assets (net of any allowance for impairment).

Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the Council, including cash, receivables, and authority deposits. No collateral is held by the Council. The Council has not granted any financial guarantees.

Cash Cash comprises cash on hand and bank balances held by the Council and the HPCA on behalf of the Council. Interest is earned on the daily bank balances.

Receivables - Trade Debtors All trade debtors are recognised as amounts receivable at balance date. Collectability of trade debtors is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. An allowance for impairment is raised when there is objective evidence that the entity will not be able to collect all amounts due. This evidence includes past experience, and current and expected changes in economic conditions and debtor credit ratings. No interest is earned on trade debtors. The Council is materially exposed to concentrations of credit risk to a single trade debtor or group of debtors. This is somewhat mitigated by an agreed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between HPCA and AHPRA on behalf of the Councils and payment of debt in a timely manner.

c. Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Council will be unable to meet its payment obligations when they fall due. The HPCA on behalf of the Council continuously manages risk through monitoring future cash flows and maturities planning to ensure adequate holding of high quality liquid assets.

The liabilities are recognised for amounts due to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether or not invoiced. Amounts owing to suppliers (which are unsecured) are settled in accordance with the policy set out in Treasurer’s Direction 219.01. If trade terms are not specified, payment is made no later than the end of the month following the month in which an invoice or a statement is received. Treasurer’s Direction 219.01 allows the Minister to award interest for late payment.

All payables are current and will not attract interest payments.

d. Market Risk The Council does not have exposure to market risk on financial instruments.

e. Interest Rate Risk

The Council has minimal exposure to interest rate risk from its holdings in interest bearing financial assets. The Council has an arrangement with the Westpac Bank where all cash and cash equivalents are sitting in an interest bearing bank account earning the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) Cash Rate + basis points margin. The Council does not account for any fixed rate financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss or as available-for-sale. A reasonably possible change of +/- 1% is used, consistent with current trends in interest rates. The basis will be reviewed annually and amended where there is a structural change in the level of interest rate volatility. The RBA Cash Rate has decreased over the year as follows - June 30 2014 - 2.5% to June 30 2015 - 2.0%.

14. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD There are no events after the reporting period to be included in the financial statements as of

Chinese Medicine Council of NSW

Notes to the Financial Statements 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. Reporting Entity The Chinese Medicine Council of New South Wales (the Council) is a not-for-profit reporting

entity with no cash generating units, performs the duties and functions contained in the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law (NSW) No 86a (the Law). The Council was established on 1 July 2012 upon joining the NRAS.

These financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2015 have been authorised for issue by the Council on 15 October 2015.

b. Basis of Preparation The Council has adopted the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial statements.

The Council’s financial statements are general purpose financial statements and have been prepared in accordance with:

• applicable Australian Accounting Standards (which include Australian Accounting Interpretations), and

• the requirements of the Public Finance and Audit Act 1983 and Regulation.

The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost.

Judgements, key assumptions and estimations management has made are disclosed in the relevant notes to the financial statements.

All amounts are rounded to the nearest dollar and are expressed in Australian currency.

c. Statement of Compliance The financial statements and notes comply with Australian Accounting Standards, which

include Australian Accounting Interpretations.

d. Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions The agreed cost sharing arrangements for the distribution of pooled costs between Health

Professional Councils were introduced effective 1 July 2012 other than a revision to the allocation of indirect personnel services to Councils.

These indirect costs are shown as part of the Council’s statement of comprehensive income under the following expense line items:

1. Personnel services 2. Rent and building expenses 3. Contracted labour 4. Depreciation and Amortisation 5. Postage and Communication 6. Printing and Stationery

e. Insurance The Council’s insurance activities are conducted through the NSW Treasury Managed Fund

Scheme of self-insurance for Government entities. The expense (premium) is determined by the Fund Manager based on past claim experience.

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 218

f. Accounting for the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Income, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except that:

• the amount of GST incurred by the Council as a purchaser that is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense, and

• receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. However, the GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Taxation Office are classified as operating cash flows.

g. Income Recognition Income is measured at the fair value of the consideration or contribution received or

receivable.

The National Registration and Accreditation Scheme (NRAS) for all health professionals commenced on 1 July 2010. NSW opted out of the complaint handling component of the National scheme and the health professional Councils were established in NSW effective from 1 July 2010 to manage the complaints function in a co-regulatory arrangement with the NSW Health Care Complaints Commission (HCCC). The Council was established on 1 July 2012 upon joining the NRAS.

Under s 26A of the Law, the complaints element of the registration fees payable by NSW health practitioners was decided by the Council established for that profession subject to approval by the Minister for Health.

The Council, under the Law, receives fees on a monthly basis from the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) being the agreed NSW complaints element for the 2015 registration fee.

Fees are progressively recognised as income by the Council as the annual registration period elapses. Fees in advance represent unearned income at balance date.

h. Personnel Services In accordance with an agreed Memorandum of Understanding, the Ministry of Health (MOH)

being the employer charges the Council for personnel services relating to the provision of all employees. Staff costs are shown in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as personnel services in the financial statements of the Council. Amounts owing for personnel services in the Statement of Financial Position represent amounts payable to the MOH in respect of personnel services.

i. Interest Revenue Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method as set out in AASB 139

Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Chinese Medicine Council of NSW

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 219

Chinese Medicine Council of NSW

j. Assets i. Acquisition of Assets

The cost method of accounting is used for the initial recording of all acquisitions of assets controlled by the Council. Cost is the amount of cash or cash equivalents paid or the fair value of the other consideration given to acquire the asset at the time of its acquisition or construction or, where applicable, the amount attributed to that asset when initially recognised in accordance with the requirements of other Australian Accounting Standards.

Assets acquired at no cost, or for nominal consideration, are initially recognised at their historical cost at the date of acquisition.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Where payment for an item is deferred beyond normal credit terms, its cost is the cash price equivalent, i.e. the deferred payment amount is effectively discounted at an asset-specific rate.

ii. Capitalisation Thresholds The Health Professional Councils Authority (HPCA) acquires all assets on behalf of the

Council. Shared use assets that cost over $5,000 at the time of purchase by the HPCA are capitalised. These capitalised shared use assets are then allocated to the Council using an appropriate allocation method. The minimum capitalisation threshold limits applied to the Council for the asset are $36 (2013/2014 - $48) (all Council shared use asset), or $56 (2013/2014 - $76) (Pitt Street shared use asset), whichever is applicable.

iii. Impairment of Plant and Equipment

As a not-for-profit entity with no cash generating units, AASB 136 Impairment of Assets effectively is not applicable. AASB 136 modifies the recoverable amount test to the higher of fair value less costs to sell and depreciated replacement cost. This means that, where an asset is already measured at fair value, impairment can only arise if selling costs are material. Selling costs for the entity are regarded as immaterial.

iv. Depreciation of Plant, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements Depreciation and amortisation is provided for on a straight-line basis for all depreciable assets

so as to write off the amounts of each asset as it is consumed over its useful life to the Council.

Depreciation and amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

Depreciation rates used are as follows:

Plant and equipment 20% - 25% Furniture and fittings 16% - 20% Motor vehicles 25% - 29% Leasehold improvements 17% - 27.8%

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 220

Chinese Medicine Council of NSW

v. Fair Value of Plant and Equipment There has been no revaluation on any of the Council’s plant and equipment as they are

non-specialised assets. Non-specialised assets with short useful lives are measured at depreciated historical cost as a surrogate for fair value .

vi. Maintenance Day-to-day servicing costs or maintenance are charged as expenses as incurred, except

where they relate to the replacement of a component of an asset, in which case the costs are capitalised and depreciated.

vii. Intangible Assets The Council recognises intangible assets only if it is probable that future economic benefits

will flow to the entity and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Intangible assets are measured initially at cost. Where an asset is acquired at no or nominal cost, the cost is its fair value as at the date of acquisition.

All research costs are expensed. Development costs are only capitalised when certain criteria are met.

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be finite.

Intangible assets are subsequently measured at fair value only if there is an active market. As there is no active market for the entity’s intangible assets, the assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation.

Intangible assets are tested for impairment where an indicator of impairment exists. If the recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to recoverable amount and the reduction is recognised as an impairment loss.

The Council’s intangible assets are amortised using the straight line method over a period of four years. In general, intangible assets are tested for impairment where an indicator of impairment exists. However, as a not-for-profit entity with no cash generating units, the Council is effectively exempted from impairment testing.

viii. Loans and Receivables Loans and receivables are recognised initially at fair value, usually based on the transaction

cost or face value. Subsequent measurement is at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less an allowance for any impairment of receivables. Short-term receivables with no stated interest rate are measured at the original invoice amount where the effect of discounting is immaterial. An allowance for impairment of receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Council will not be able to collect all amounts due. The amount of the allowance is the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. Bad debts are written off with approval of the Council as incurred.

Chinese Medicine Council of NSW

k. Liabilities i. Trade and Other Payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Council and other amounts. Payables are recognised initially at fair value, usually based on the transaction cost or face value. Short-term payables with no stated interest rates are measured at the original invoice amount where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

ii. Personnel Services – Ministry of Health In accordance with an agreed Memorandum of Understanding, personnel services are

acquired from the MOH. As such the MOH accounting policy is below.

Liabilities for salaries and wages (including non-monetary benefits), recreation leave and paid sick leave that are due to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the service are recognised and measured in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date at undiscounted amounts based on the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

In accordance with NSWTC 15/09 ‘Accounting for Long Service Leave and Annual Leave’, the Council’s annual leave has been assessed as a short-term liability as these short-term benefits are expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employee renders the related services.

Unused non-vesting sick leave does not give rise to a liability as it is not considered probable that sick leave taken in the future will be greater than the benefits accrued in the future.

The outstanding amounts of payroll tax, workers’ compensation insurance premiums and fringe benefits tax, which are consequential to employment, are recognised as liabilities and expenses where the employee benefits to which they relate have been recognised.

All employees receive the Superannuation Guarantee Levy contribution. All superannuation benefits are provided on an accumulation basis – there are no defined benefits. Contributions are made by the entity to an employee superannuation fund and are charged as an expense when incurred.

iii. Provision for Make Good Provisions include the Council’s proportionate liability (allocated to the Council using an

appropriate allocation method) of the estimated make good liability, discounted to today’s present value.

l. Equity Accumulated Funds

The category ‘Accumulated Funds’ includes all current and prior period funds.

m. Comparative information Except when an Australian Accounting Standard permits or requires otherwise, comparative

information is disclosed in respect of the previous period for all amounts reported in the financial statements.

n. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalent assets in the statement of financial position would normally

comprise cash on hand, cash at bank and short-term deposits and include deposits in the NSW Treasury Corporation’s Hour-Glass cash facility, other Treasury Corporation deposits (less than 90 days) and other at-call deposits that are not quoted in the active market.

Bank overdrafts are included within liabilities.

o. Adoption of New and Revised Accounting Standards A number of new standards were applied from 1 July 2014, including AASB 10 Consolidated

Financial Statements and AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. The application of these new standards did not have a significant impact on the financial statements.

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 July 2015, and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. None of these are expected to have a significant effect on the financial statements of the Council.

NSW Treasury issued TC15/03 circular which states none of the new revised Standards of Interpretations are to be adopted early.

The standards that are relevant to the Council are as follows:

a) AASB 9, AASB 2010-7 and AASB Financial Instruments 2012-6 regarding financial instruments (2015/2016)

b) AASB 2014-4 regarding acceptable methods of depreciation and amortisation

12. PROVISIONS (continued)

The HPCA on behalf of Councils recognised a lease make good provision on entering into lease arrangements for Level 6, 477 Pitt Street. The provision was first included in the financial statements for 30 June 2013 and was based on a market-based estimate of the cost per square metre to make good the areas of the Pitt Street building that the HPCA occupies at the end of the lease.

As required under paragraph 59 of AASB 137, provisions are required to be reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate of the provision. The HPCA has recalculated the estimated lease make good provision as at 30 June 2015, taking into account the updated discount rate and inflation rates that are required under TC 11/17 and an updated estimate of the cost per square metre to make good the leased areas.

The impact of the changes to the three inputs to the overall lease make good provision has been to increase the required provision as at 30 June 2015.

The lease arrangements for the Pitt Street building will expire in November 2016.

The Council’s principal financial instruments are outlined below. These financial instruments arise directly from the entity’s operations or are required to finance the Council’s operations. The Council’s main risks arising from financial instruments are outlined below, together with the Council’s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk. Further quantitative and qualitative disclosures are included throughout the financial statements.

The Council has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of risk management and reviews and agrees on policies for managing each of these risks.

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 234

Chinese Medicine Council of NSW

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

b. Credit Risk

Credit risk arises when there is the possibility of the Council’s debtors defaulting on their contractual obligations, resulting in a financial loss to the Council. The maximum exposure to credit risk is generally represented by the carrying amount of the financial assets (net of any allowance for impairment).

Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the Council, including cash, receivables, and authority deposits. No collateral is held by the Council. The Council has not granted any financial guarantees.

Cash Cash comprises cash on hand and bank balances held by the Council and the HPCA on behalf of the Council. Interest is earned on the daily bank balances.

Receivables - Trade Debtors All trade debtors are recognised as amounts receivable at balance date. Collectability of trade debtors is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. An allowance for impairment is raised when there is objective evidence that the entity will not be able to collect all amounts due. This evidence includes past experience, and current and expected changes in economic conditions and debtor credit ratings. No interest is earned on trade debtors. The Council is materially exposed to concentrations of credit risk to a single trade debtor or group of debtors. This is somewhat mitigated by an agreed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between HPCA and AHPRA on behalf of the Councils and payment of debt in a timely manner.

c. Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Council will be unable to meet its payment obligations when they fall due. The HPCA on behalf of the Council continuously manages risk through monitoring future cash flows and maturities planning to ensure adequate holding of high quality liquid assets.

The liabilities are recognised for amounts due to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether or not invoiced. Amounts owing to suppliers (which are unsecured) are settled in accordance with the policy set out in Treasurer’s Direction 219.01. If trade terms are not specified, payment is made no later than the end of the month following the month in which an invoice or a statement is received. Treasurer’s Direction 219.01 allows the Minister to award interest for late payment.

All payables are current and will not attract interest payments.

d. Market Risk The Council does not have exposure to market risk on financial instruments.

e. Interest Rate Risk

The Council has minimal exposure to interest rate risk from its holdings in interest bearing financial assets. The Council has an arrangement with the Westpac Bank where all cash and cash equivalents are sitting in an interest bearing bank account earning the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) Cash Rate + basis points margin. The Council does not account for any fixed rate financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss or as available-for-sale. A reasonably possible change of +/- 1% is used, consistent with current trends in interest rates. The basis will be reviewed annually and amended where there is a structural change in the level of interest rate volatility. The RBA Cash Rate has decreased over the year as follows - June 30 2014 - 2.5% to June 30 2015 - 2.0%.

Notes to the Financial Statements 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. Reporting Entity The Chiropractic Council of New South Wales (the Council) as a not-for-profit reporting entity

with no cash generating units, performs the duties and functions contained in the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law (NSW) No 86a (the Law).

These financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2015 have been authorised for issue by the Council on 15 October 2015.

b. Basis of Preparation The Council has adopted the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial statements.

The Council’s financial statements are general purpose financial statements and have been prepared in accordance with:

• applicable Australian Accounting Standards (which include Australian Accounting Interpretations), and

• the requirements of the Public Finance and Audit Act 1983 and Regulation.

The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost.

Judgements, key assumptions and estimations management has made are disclosed in the relevant notes to the financial statements.

All amounts are rounded to the nearest dollar and are expressed in Australian currency.

c. Statement of Compliance The financial statements and notes comply with Australian Accounting Standards, which

include Australian Accounting Interpretations.

d. Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions The agreed cost sharing arrangements for the distribution of pooled costs between Health

Professional Councils were introduced effective 1 July 2012 other than a revision to the allocation of indirect personnel services to Councils.

During August 2014 the NSW Health Professional Councils agreed to waive and absorb the obligation by the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Practitioner Council of New South Wales for the allocation of indirect pooled costs effective 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2015.

During August 2014 the following NSW Health Professional Councils being Chiropractic Council of New South Wales, Occupational Therapy Council of New South Wales and Physiotherapy Council of New South Wales agreed to waive and absorb the obligation by the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Practitioner Council of New South Wales for the allocation of direct labour costs effective 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2015.

These indirect costs are shown as part of the Council’s statement of comprehensive income under the following expense line items:

1. Personnel services 2. Rent and building expenses 3. Contracted labour 4. Depreciation and amortisation 5. Postage and communication 6. Printing and stationery

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 244

Chiropractic Council of NSW

e. Insurance The Council’s insurance activities are conducted through the NSW Treasury Managed Fund

Scheme of self-insurance for Government entities. The expense (premium) is determined by the Fund Manager based on past claim experience.

f. Accounting for the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Income, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except that:

• the amount of GST incurred by the Council as a purchaser that is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense, and

• receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. However, the GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Taxation Office are classified as operating cash flows.

g. Income Recognition Income is measured at the fair value of the consideration or contribution received or

receivable.

The National Registration and Accreditation Scheme for all health professionals commenced on 1 July 2010. NSW opted out of the complaint handling component of the National scheme and the health professional Councils were established in NSW effective from 1 July 2010 to manage the complaints function in a co-regulatory arrangement with the NSW Health Care Complaints Commission (HCCC).

Under s 26A of the Law, the complaints element of the registration fees payable by NSW health practitioners was decided by the Council established for that profession subject to approval by the Minister for Health.

The Council, under the Law, receives fees on a monthly basis from the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) being the agreed NSW complaints element for the 2015 registration fee.

Fees are progressively recognised as income by the Council as the annual registration period elapses. Fees in advance represent unearned income at balance date.

h. Personnel Services In accordance with an agreed Memorandum of Understanding, the Ministry of Health (MOH)

being the employer charges the Council for personnel services relating to the provision of all employees. Staff costs are shown in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as personnel services in the financial statements of the Council. Amounts owing for personnel services in the Statement of Financial Position represent amounts payable to the MOH in respect of personnel services.

i. Interest Revenue Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method as set out in AASB 139

Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 245

Chiropractic Council of NSW

j. Education and Research The Council is responsible for the administration of the Education and Research account.

The Minister for Health may determine that a set amount of funds out of the fees received to be transferred to the Education and Research account.

k. Assets i. Acquisition of Assets

The cost method of accounting is used for the initial recording of all acquisitions of assets controlled by the Council. Cost is the amount of cash or cash equivalents paid or the fair value of the other consideration given to acquire the asset at the time of its acquisition or construction or, where applicable, the amount attributed to that asset when initially recognised in accordance with the requirements of other Australian Accounting Standards.

Assets acquired at no cost, or for nominal consideration, are initially recognised at their historical cost at the date of acquisition.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Where payment for an item is deferred beyond normal credit terms, its cost is the cash price equivalent, i.e. the deferred payment amount is effectively discounted at an asset-specific rate.

ii. Capitalisation Thresholds The Health Professional Councils Authority (HPCA) acquires all assets on behalf of the

Council. Shared use assets that cost over $5,000 at the time of purchase by the HPCA are capitalised. These capitalised shared use assets are then allocated to the Council using an appropriate allocation method. The minimum capitalisation threshold limits applied to the Council for the asset are $41 (2013/2014- $63) (all Council shared use asset), or $64 (2013/2014 - $100) (Pitt Street shared use asset), whichever is applicable.

iii. Impairment of Plant and Equipment As a not-for-profit entity with no cash generating units, AASB 136 Impairment of Assets

effectively is not applicable. AASB 136 modifies the recoverable amount test to the higher of fair value less costs to sell and depreciated replacement cost. This means that, where an asset is already measured at fair value, impairment can only arise if selling costs are material. Selling costs for the entity are regarded as immaterial.

iv. Depreciation of Plant, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements Depreciation and amortisation is provided for on a straight-line basis for all depreciable assets

so as to write off the amounts of each asset as it is consumed over its useful life to the Council.

Depreciation and amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

Depreciation rates used are as follows:

Plant and equipment 20% - 25% Furniture and fittings 16% - 20% Motor vehicles 25% - 29% Leasehold improvements 17% - 27.8%

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 246

Chiropractic Council of NSW

v. Fair Value of Plant and Equipment There has been no revaluation on any of the Council’s plant and equipment as they are

non-specialised assets. Non-specialised assets with short useful lives are measured at depreciated historical cost as a surrogate for fair value .

vi. Maintenance Day-to-day servicing costs or maintenance are charged as expenses as incurred, except

where they relate to the replacement of a component of an asset, in which case the costs are capitalised and depreciated.

vii. Intangible Assets The Council recognises intangible assets only if it is probable that future economic benefits

will flow to the entity and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Intangible assets are measured initially at cost. Where an asset is acquired at no or nominal cost, the cost is its fair value as at the date of acquisition.

All research costs are expensed. Development costs are only capitalised when certain criteria are met.

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be finite.

Intangible assets are subsequently measured at fair value only if there is an active market. As there is no active market for the entity’s intangible assets, the assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation.

Intangible assets are tested for impairment where an indicator of impairment exists. If the recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to recoverable amount and the reduction is recognised as an impairment loss.

The Council’s intangible assets are amortised using the straight line method over a period of four years. In general, intangible assets are tested for impairment where an indicator of impairment exists. However, as a not-for-profit entity with no cash generating units, the Council is effectively exempted from impairment testing.

viii. Loans and Receivables Loans and receivables are recognised initially at fair value, usually based on the transaction

cost or face value. Subsequent measurement is at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less an allowance for any impairment of receivables. Short-term receivables with no stated interest rate are measured at the original invoice amount where the effect of discounting is immaterial. An allowance for impairment of receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Council will not be able to collect all amounts due. The amount of the allowance is the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. Bad debts are written off with approval of the Council as incurred.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 247

Chiropractic Council of NSW

l. Liabilities i. Trade and Other Payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Council and other amounts. Payables are recognised initially at fair value, usually based on the transaction cost or face value. Short-term payables with no stated interest rates are measured at the original invoice amount where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

ii. Personnel Services – Ministry of Health In accordance with an agreed Memorandum of Understanding, personnel services are

acquired from the MOH. As such the MOH accounting policy is below.

Liabilities for salaries and wages (including non-monetary benefits), recreation leave and paid sick leave that are due to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the service are recognised and measured in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date at undiscounted amounts based on the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

In accordance with NSWTC 15/09 ‘Accounting for Long Service Leave and Annual Leave’, the Council’s annual leave has been assessed as a short-term liability as these short-term benefits are expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employee renders the related services.

Unused non-vesting sick leave does not give rise to a liability as it is not considered probable that sick leave taken in the future will be greater than the benefits accrued in the future.

The outstanding amounts of payroll tax, workers’ compensation insurance premiums and fringe benefits tax, which are consequential to employment, are recognised as liabilities and expenses where the employee benefits to which they relate have been recognised.

All employees receive the Superannuation Guarantee Levy contribution. All superannuation benefits are provided on an accumulation basis – there are no defined benefits. Contributions are made by the entity to an employee superannuation fund and are charged as an expense when incurred.

iii. Provision for Make Good Provisions include the Council’s proportionate liability (allocated to the Council using an

appropriate allocation method) of the estimated make good liability, discounted to today’s present value.

m. Equity Accumulated Funds

The category ‘Accumulated Funds’ includes all current and prior period funds.

n. Comparative information Except when an Australian Accounting Standard permits or requires otherwise, comparative

information is disclosed in respect of the previous period for all amounts reported in the financial statements.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 248

Chiropractic Council of NSW

o. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalent assets in the statement of financial position would normally

comprise cash on hand, cash at bank and short-term deposits and include deposits in the NSW Treasury Corporation’s Hour-Glass cash facility, other Treasury Corporation deposits (less than 90 days) and other at-call deposits that are not quoted in the active market.

Bank overdrafts are included within liabilities.

p. Adoption of New and Revised Accounting Standards A number of new standards were applied from 1 July 2014, including AASB 10 Consolidated

Financial Statements and AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. The application of these new standards did not have a significant impact on the financial statements.

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 July 2015, and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. None of these are expected to have a significant effect on the financial statements of the Council.

NSW Treasury issued TC15/03 circular which states none of the new revised Standards of Interpretations are to be adopted early.

The standards that are relevant to the Council are as follows:

a) AASB 9, AASB 2010-7 and AASB Financial Instruments 2012-6 regarding financial instruments (2015/2016)

b) AASB 2014-4 regarding acceptable methods of depreciation and amortisation

13. PROVISIONS (continued)

The HPCA on behalf of Councils recognised a lease make good provision on entering into lease arrangements for Level 6, 477 Pitt Street. The provision was first included in the financial statements for 30 June 2011 and was based on a market-based estimate of the cost per square metre to make good the areas of the Pitt Street building that the HPCA occupies at the end of the lease.

As required under paragraph 59 of AASB 137, provisions are required to be reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate of the provision. The HPCA has recalculated the estimated lease make good provision as at 30 June 2015, taking into account the updated discount rate and inflation rates that are required under TC 11/17 and an updated estimate of the cost per square metre to make good the leased areas.

The impact of the changes to the three inputs to the overall lease make good provision has been to increase the required provision as at 30 June 2015.

The lease arrangements for the Pitt Street building will expire in November 2016.

The Council’s principal financial instruments are outlined below. These financial instruments arise directly from the entity’s operations or are required to finance the Council’s operations. The Council’s main risks arising from financial instruments are outlined below, together with the Council’s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk. Further quantitative and qualitative disclosures are included throughout the financial statements.

The Council has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of risk management and reviews and agrees on policies for managing each of these risks.

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 261

Chiropractic Council of NSW

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

b. Credit Risk

Credit risk arises when there is the possibility of the Council’s debtors defaulting on their contractual obligations, resulting in a financial loss to the Council. The maximum exposure to credit risk is generally represented by the carrying amount of the financial assets (net of any allowance for impairment).

Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the Council, including cash, receivables, and authority deposits. No collateral is held by the Council. The Council has not granted any financial guarantees.

Cash Cash comprises cash on hand and bank balances held by the Council and the HPCA on behalf of the Council. Interest is earned on the daily bank balances.

Receivables - Trade Debtors All trade debtors are recognised as amounts receivable at balance date. Collectability of trade debtors is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. An allowance for impairment is raised when there is objective evidence that the entity will not be able to collect all amounts due. This evidence includes past experience, and current and expected changes in economic conditions and debtor credit ratings. No interest is earned on trade debtors. The Council is materially exposed to concentrations of credit risk to a single trade debtor or group of debtors. This is somewhat mitigated by an agreed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between HPCA and AHPRA of behalf of the Councils and payment of debt in a timely manner.

c. Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Council will be unable to meet its payment obligations when they fall due. The HPCA on behalf of the Council continuously manages risk through monitoring future cash flows and maturities planning to ensure adequate holding of high quality liquid assets.

The liabilities are recognised for amounts due to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether or not invoiced. Amounts owing to suppliers (which are unsecured) are settled in accordance with the policy set out in Treasurer’s Direction 219.01. If trade terms are not specified, payment is made no later than the end of the month following the month in which an invoice or a statement is received. Treasurer’s Direction 219.01 allows the Minister to award interest for late payment.

All payables are current and will not attract interest payments.

d. Market Risk The Council does not have exposure to market risk on financial instruments.

e. Interest Rate Risk

The Council has minimal exposure to interest rate risk from its holdings in interest bearing financial assets. The Council has an arrangement with the Westpac Bank where all cash and cash equivalents are sitting in an interest bearing bank account earning the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) Cash Rate + basis points margin. The Council does not account for any fixed rate financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss or as available-for-sale. A reasonably possible change of +/- 1% is used, consistent with current trends in interest rates. The basis will be reviewed annually and amended where there is a structural change in the level of interest rate volatility. The RBA Cash Rate has decreased over the year as follows - June 30 2014 - 2.5% to June 30 2015 - 2.0%.

e. Insurance The Council’s insurance activities are conducted through the NSW Treasury Managed Fund

Scheme of self-insurance for Government entities. The expense (premium) is determined by the Fund Manager based on past claim experience.

f. Accounting for the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Income, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except that:

• the amount of GST incurred by the Council as a purchaser that is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense, and

• receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. However, the GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Taxation Office are classified as operating cash flows.

g. Income Recognition Income is measured at the fair value of the consideration or contribution received or

receivable.

The National Registration and Accreditation Scheme for all health professionals commenced on 1 July 2010. NSW opted out of the complaint handling component of the National scheme and the health professional Councils were established in NSW effective from 1 July 2010 to manage the complaints function in a co-regulatory arrangement with the NSW Health Care Complaints Commission (HCCC).

Under s 26A of the Law, the complaints element of the registration fees payable by NSW health practitioners was decided by the Council established for that profession subject to approval by the Minister for Health.

The Council, under the Law, receives fees on a monthly basis from the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) being the agreed NSW complaints element for the 2015 registration fee.

Fees are progressively recognised as income by the Council as the annual registration period elapses. Fees in advance represent unearned income at balance date.

h. Personnel Services In accordance with an agreed Memorandum of Understanding, the Ministry of Health (MOH)

being the employer charges the Council for personnel services relating to the provision of all employees. Staff costs are shown in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as personnel services in the financial statements of the Council. Amounts owing for personnel services in the Statement of Financial Position represent amounts payable to the MOH in respect of personnel services.

i. Interest Revenue Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method as set out in AASB 139

Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 272

Dental Council of NSW

j. Education and Research The Council is responsible for the administration of the Education and Research account.

The Minister for Health may determine that a set amount of funds out of the fees received to be transferred to the Education and Research account.

k. Assets i. Acquisition of Assets

The cost method of accounting is used for the initial recording of all acquisitions of assets controlled by the Council. Cost is the amount of cash or cash equivalents paid or the fair value of the other consideration given to acquire the asset at the time of its acquisition or construction or, where applicable, the amount attributed to that asset when initially recognised in accordance with the requirements of other Australian Accounting Standards.

Assets acquired at no cost, or for nominal consideration, are initially recognised at their historical cost at the date of acquisition.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Where payment for an item is deferred beyond normal credit terms, its cost is the cash price equivalent, i.e. the deferred payment amount is effectively discounted at an asset-specific rate.

ii. Capitalisation Thresholds The Health Professional Councils Authority (HPCA) acquires all assets on behalf of the

Council. Shared use assets that cost over $5,000 at the time of purchase by the HPCA are capitalised. These capitalised shared use assets are then allocated to the Council using an appropriate allocation method. The minimum capitalisation threshold limits applied to the Council for the asset are $475 (2013/14 - $489) (all Council shared use asset), or $743 (2013/2014 - $770) (Pitt Street shared use asset), whichever is applicable.

iii. Impairment of Plant and Equipment As a not-for-profit entity with no cash generating units, AASB 136 Impairment of Assets

effectively is not applicable. AASB 136 modifies the recoverable amount test to the higher of fair value less costs to sell and depreciated replacement cost. This means that, where an asset is already measured at fair value, impairment can only arise if selling costs are material. Selling costs for the entity are regarded as immaterial.

iv. Depreciation of Plant, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements Depreciation and amortisation is provided for on a straight-line basis for all depreciable assets

so as to write off the amounts of each asset as it is consumed over its useful life to the Council.

Depreciation and amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

Depreciation rates used are as follows:

Plant and equipment 20% - 25% Furniture and fittings 16% - 20% Motor vehicles 25% - 29% Leasehold improvements 17% - 27.8%

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 273

Dental Council of NSW

v. Fair Value of Plant and Equipment There has been no revaluation on any of the Council’s plant and equipment as they are

non-specialised assets. Non-specialised assets with short useful lives are measured at depreciated historical cost as a surrogate for fair value .

vi. Maintenance Day-to-day servicing costs or maintenance are charged as expenses as incurred, except

where they relate to the replacement of a component of an asset, in which case the costs are capitalised and depreciated.

vii. Intangible Assets The Council recognises intangible assets only if it is probable that future economic benefits

will flow to the entity and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Intangible assets are measured initially at cost. Where an asset is acquired at no or nominal cost, the cost is its fair value as at the date of acquisition.

All research costs are expensed. Development costs are only capitalised when certain criteria are met.

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be finite.

Intangible assets are subsequently measured at fair value only if there is an active market. As there is no active market for the entity’s intangible assets, the assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation.

Intangible assets are tested for impairment where an indicator of impairment exists. If the recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to recoverable amount and the reduction is recognised as an impairment loss.

The Council’s intangible assets are amortised using the straight line method over a period of four years. In general, intangible assets are tested for impairment where an indicator of impairment exists. However, as a not-for-profit entity with no cash generating units, the Council is effectively exempted from impairment testing.

viii. Loans and Receivables Loans and receivables are recognised initially at fair value, usually based on the transaction

cost or face value. Subsequent measurement is at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less an allowance for any impairment of receivables. Short-term receivables with no stated interest rate are measured at the original invoice amount where the effect of discounting is immaterial. An allowance for impairment of receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Council will not be able to collect all amounts due. The amount of the allowance is the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. Bad debts are written off with approval of the Council as incurred.

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 274

Dental Council of NSW

l. Liabilities i. Trade and Other Payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Council and other amounts. Payables are recognised initially at fair value, usually based on the transaction cost or face value. Short-term payables with no stated interest rates are measured at the original invoice amount where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

ii. Personnel Services – Ministry of Health In accordance with an agreed Memorandum of Understanding, personnel services are

acquired from the MOH. As such the MOH accounting policy is below.

Liabilities for salaries and wages (including non-monetary benefits), recreation leave and paid sick leave that are due to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the service are recognised and measured in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date at undiscounted amounts based on the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

In accordance with NSWTC 15/09 ‘Accounting for Long Service Leave and Annual Leave’, the Council’s annual leave has been assessed as a short-term liability as these short-term benefits are expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employee renders the related services.

Unused non-vesting sick leave does not give rise to a liability as it is not considered probable that sick leave taken in the future will be greater than the benefits accrued in the future.

The outstanding amounts of payroll tax, workers’ compensation insurance premiums and fringe benefits tax, which are consequential to employment, are recognised as liabilities and expenses where the employee benefits to which they relate have been recognised.

All employees receive the Superannuation Guarantee Levy contribution. All superannuation benefits are provided on an accumulation basis – there are no defined benefits. Contributions are made by the entity to an employee superannuation fund and are charged as an expense when incurred.

iii. Provision for Make Good Provisions include the Council’s proportionate liability (allocated to the Council using an

appropriate allocation method) of the estimated make good liability, discounted to today’s present value.

m. Equity/Accumulated Funds The category ‘Accumulated Funds’ includes all current and prior period funds.

n. Comparative information Except when an Australian Accounting Standard permits or requires otherwise, comparative

information is disclosed in respect of the previous period for all amounts reported in the financial statements.

o. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalent assets in the statement of financial position would normally

comprise cash on hand, cash at bank and short-term deposits and include deposits in the NSW Treasury Corporation’s Hour-Glass cash facility, other Treasury Corporation deposits (less than 90 days) and other at-call deposits that are not quoted in the active market.

Bank overdrafts are included within liabilities.

p. Adoption of New and Revised Accounting Standards A number of new standards were applied from 1 July 2014, including AASB 10 Consolidated

Financial Statements and AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. The application of these new standards did not have a significant impact on the financial statements.

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 July 2015, and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. None of these are expected to have a significant effect on the financial statements of the Council.

NSW Treasury issued TC15/03 circular which states none of the new revised Standards of Interpretations are to be adopted early.

The standards that are relevant to the Council are as follows:

a) AASB 9, AASB 2010-7 and AASB Financial Instruments 2012-6 regarding financial instruments (2015/2016)

b) AASB 2014-4 regarding acceptable methods of depreciation and amortisation

Excluded from the above Education & Research is $21,819 which is a restricted asset quarantined for dental technicians after de-registration of the profession from 1 July 2010. These surplus funds were derived from the former Dental Technicians Registration Board. The balance of the former Board’s funds was forwarded to the Dental Council for continued administration of Dental Prosthetists. Pursuant to clause 21 of Division 3 of Schedule 5A of the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law (NSW), the quarantined funds were allocated to the Dental Technicians Education Account (DTEA). The Dental Technicians Education Account Committee (the Committee) was formed to oversee the expenditure of the funds. Clause 21(3) provides that the money in the DTEA may only be expended for the purposes relating to the education of dental technicians.

The legislation requires that the funds be expended within 3 years of the establishment of the account. The account was not established until July 2012. The Council has until July 2015 to spend the remaining funds. The Council has spent the funds by the agreed date and hence no contingent liability note is required as at 30 June 2015.

13. PROVISIONS (continued)

The HPCA on behalf of Councils recognised a lease make good provision on entering into lease arrangements for Level 6, 477 Pitt Street. The provision was first included in the financial statements for 30 June 2011 and was based on a market-based estimate of the cost per square metre to make good the areas of the Pitt Street building that the HPCA occupies at the end of the lease.

As required under paragraph 59 of AASB 137, provisions are required to be reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate of the provision. The HPCA has recalculated the estimated lease make good provision as at 30 June 2015, taking into account the updated discount rate and inflation rates that are required under TC 11/17 and an updated estimate of the cost per square metre to make good the leased areas.

The impact of the changes to the three inputs to the overall lease make good provision has been to increase the required provision as at 30 June 2015.

The lease arrangements for the Pitt Street building will expire in November 2016.

The Council’s principal financial instruments are outlined below. These financial instruments arise directly from the entity’s operations or are required to finance the Council’s operations. The Council’s main risks arising from financial instruments are outlined below, together with the Council’s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk. Further quantitative and qualitative disclosures are included throughout the financial statements.

The Council has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of risk management and reviews and agrees on policies for managing each of these risks.

Dental Council of NSW

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

b. Credit Risk

Credit risk arises when there is the possibility of the Council’s debtors defaulting on their contractual obligations, resulting in a financial loss to the Council. The maximum exposure to credit risk is generally represented by the carrying amount of the financial assets (net of any allowance for impairment).

Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the Council, including cash, receivables, and authority deposits. No collateral is held by the Council. The Council has not granted any financial guarantees.

Cash Cash comprises cash on hand and bank balances held by the Council and the HPCA on behalf of the Council. Interest is earned on the daily bank balances.

Receivables - Trade Debtors All trade debtors are recognised as amounts receivable at balance date. Collectability of trade debtors is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. An allowance for impairment is raised when there is objective evidence that the entity will not be able to collect all amounts due. This evidence includes past experience, and current and expected changes in economic conditions and debtor credit ratings. No interest is earned on trade debtors. The Council is materially exposed to concentrations of credit risk to a single trade debtor or group of debtors. This is somewhat mitigated by an agreed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between HPCA and AHPRA of behalf of the Councils and payment of debt in a timely manner.

c. Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Council will be unable to meet its payment obligations when they fall due. The HPCA on behalf of the Council continuously manages risk through monitoring future cash flows and maturities planning to ensure adequate holding of high quality liquid assets.

The liabilities are recognised for amounts due to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether or not invoiced. Amounts owing to suppliers (which are unsecured) are settled in accordance with the policy set out in Treasurer’s Direction 219.01. If trade terms are not specified, payment is made no later than the end of the month following the month in which an invoice or a statement is received. Treasurer’s Direction 219.01 allows the Minister to award interest for late payment.

All payables are current and will not attract interest payments.

d. Market Risk The Council does not have exposure to market risk on financial instruments.

e. Interest Rate Risk

The Council has minimal exposure to interest rate risk from its holdings in interest bearing financial assets. The Council has an arrangement with the Westpac Bank where all cash and cash equivalents are sitting in an interest bearing bank account earning the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) Cash Rate + basis points margin. The Council does not account for any fixed rate financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss or as available-for-sale. A reasonably possible change of +/- 1% is used, consistent with current trends in interest rates. The basis will be reviewed annually and amended where there is a structural change in the level of interest rate volatility. The RBA Cash Rate has decreased over the year as follows - June 30 2014 - 2.5% to June 30 2015 - 2.0%.

Medical Council of NSW

Notes to the Financial Statements 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. Reporting Entity The Medical Council of New South Wales (the Council) as a not-for-profit reporting entity

with no cash generating units, performs the duties and functions contained in the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law (NSW) No 86a (the Law).

These financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2015 have been authorised for issue by the Council on 15 October 2015.

b. Basis of Preparation The Council has adopted the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial statements.

The Council’s financial statements are general purpose financial statements and have been prepared in accordance with:

• applicable Australian Accounting Standards (which include Australian Accounting Interpretations), and

• the requirements of the Public Finance and Audit Act 1983 and Regulation.

The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost.

Judgements, key assumptions and estimations management has made are disclosed in the relevant notes to the financial statements.

All amounts are rounded to the nearest dollar and are expressed in Australian currency.

c. Statement of Compliance The financial statements and notes comply with Australian Accounting Standards, which

include Australian Accounting Interpretations.

d. Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions The agreed cost sharing arrangements for the distribution of pooled costs between Health

Professional Councils were introduced effective 1 July 2012 other than a revision to the allocation of indirect personnel services to Councils.

These indirect costs are shown as part of the Council’s statement of comprehensive income under the following expense line items:

1. Personnel services 2. Contracted labour 3. Depreciation and Amortisation 4. Rent and building expenses

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 298

Medical Council of NSW

e. Insurance The Council’s insurance activities are conducted through the NSW Treasury Managed Fund

Scheme of self-insurance for Government entities. The expense (premium) is determined by the Fund Manager based on past claim experience.

f. Accounting for the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Income, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except that:

• the amount of GST incurred by the Council as a purchaser that is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense, and

• receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. However, the GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Taxation Office are classified as operating cash flows.

g. Income Recognition Income is measured at the fair value of the consideration or contribution received or

receivable.

The National Registration and Accreditation Scheme for all health professionals commenced on 1 July 2010. NSW opted out of the complaint handling component of the National scheme and the health professional Councils were established in NSW effective from 1 July 2010 to manage the complaints function in a co-regulatory arrangement with the NSW Health Care Complaints Commission (HCCC).

Under s 26A of the Law, the complaints element of the registration fees payable by NSW health practitioners was decided by the Council established for that profession subject to approval by the Minister for Health.

The Council, under the Law, receives fees on a monthly basis from the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) being the agreed NSW complaints element for the 2015 registration fee.

Fees are progressively recognised as income by the Council as the annual registration period elapses. Fees in advance represent unearned income at balance date.

h. Personnel Services In accordance with an agreed Memorandum of Understanding, the Ministry of Health (MOH)

being the employer charges the Council for personnel services relating to the provision of all employees. Staff costs are shown in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as personnel services in the financial statements of the Council. Amounts owing for personnel services in the Statement of Financial Position represent amounts payable to the MOH in respect of personnel services.

i. Interest Revenue Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method as set out in AASB 139

Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 299

Medical Council of NSW

j. Assets i. Acquisition of Assets

The cost method of accounting is used for the initial recording of all acquisitions of assets controlled by the Council. Cost is the amount of cash or cash equivalents paid or the fair value of the other consideration given to acquire the asset at the time of its acquisition or construction or, where applicable, the amount attributed to that asset when initially recognised in accordance with the requirements of other Australian Accounting Standards.

Assets acquired at no cost, or for nominal consideration, are initially recognised at their historical cost at the date of acquisition.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Where payment for an item is deferred beyond normal credit terms, its cost is the cash price equivalent, i.e. the deferred payment amount is effectively discounted at an asset-specific rate.

ii. Capitalisation Thresholds The Health Professional Councils Authority (HPCA) acquires all assets on behalf of the

Council. Shared use assets that cost over $5,000 at the time of purchase by the HPCA are capitalised. These capitalised shared use assets are then allocated to the Council using an appropriate allocation method. The minimum capitalisation threshold limits applied to the Council for the asset are $1,804 (2013/2014 - $1,822).

iii. Impairment of Plant and Equipment As a not-for-profit entity with no cash generating units, AASB 136 Impairment of Assets

effectively is not applicable. AASB 136 modifies the recoverable amount test to the higher of fair value less costs to sell and depreciated replacement cost. This means that, where an asset is already measured at fair value, impairment can only arise if selling costs are material. Selling costs for the entity are regarded as immaterial.

iv. Depreciation of Plant, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements Depreciation and amortisation is provided for on a straight-line basis for all depreciable assets

so as to write off the amounts of each asset as it is consumed over its useful life to the Council.

Depreciation and amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

Depreciation rates used are as follows:

Plant and equipment 20% - 25% Furniture and fittings 16% - 20% Motor vehicles 25% - 29% Leasehold improvements 1.49% - 10.15%

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 300

Medical Council of NSW

v. Fair Value of Plant and Equipment There has been no revaluation on any of the Council’s plant and equipment as they are

non-specialised assets. Non-specialised assets with short useful lives are measured at depreciated historical cost as a surrogate for fair value.

vi. Maintenance Day-to-day servicing costs or maintenance are charged as expenses as incurred, except

where they relate to the replacement of a component of an asset, in which case the costs are capitalised and depreciated.

vii. Intangible Assets The Council recognises intangible assets only if it is probable that future economic benefits

will flow to the entity and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Intangible assets are measured initially at cost. Where an asset is acquired at no or nominal cost, the cost is its fair value as at the date of acquisition.

All research costs are expensed. Development costs are only capitalised when certain criteria are met.

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be finite.

Intangible assets are subsequently measured at fair value only if there is an active market. As there is no active market for the entity’s intangible assets, the assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation.

Intangible assets are tested for impairment where an indicator of impairment exists. If the recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to recoverable amount and the reduction is recognised as an impairment loss.

The Council’s intangible assets are amortised using the straight line method over a period of four years. In general, intangible assets are tested for impairment where an indicator of impairment exists. However, as a not-for-profit entity with no cash generating units, the Council is effectively exempted from impairment testing.

viii. Loans and Receivables Loans and receivables are recognised initially at fair value, usually based on the transaction

cost or face value. Subsequent measurement is at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less an allowance for any impairment of receivables. Short-term receivables with no stated interest rate are measured at the original invoice amount where the effect of discounting is immaterial. An allowance for impairment of receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Council will not be able to collect all amounts due. The amount of the allowance is the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. Bad debts are written off with approval of the Council as incurred.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 301

Medical Council of NSW

k. Liabilities i. Trade and Other Payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Council and other amounts. Payables are recognised initially at fair value, usually based on the transaction cost or face value. Short-term payables with no stated interest rates are measured at the original invoice amount where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

ii. Personnel Services – Ministry of Health In accordance with an agreed Memorandum of Understanding, personnel services are

acquired from the MOH. As such the MOH accounting policy is below.

Liabilities for salaries and wages (including non-monetary benefits), recreation leave and paid sick leave that are due to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the service are recognised and measured in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date at undiscounted amounts based on the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

In accordance with NSWTC 15/09 ‘Accounting for Long Service Leave and Annual Leave’, the Council’s annual leave has been assessed as a short-term liability as these short-term benefits are expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employee renders the related services.

Unused non-vesting sick leave does not give rise to a liability as it is not considered probable that sick leave taken in the future will be greater than the benefits accrued in the future.

The outstanding amounts of payroll tax, workers’ compensation insurance premiums and fringe benefits tax, which are consequential to employment, are recognised as liabilities and expenses where the employee benefits to which they relate have been recognised.

All employees receive the Superannuation Guarantee Levy contribution. All superannuation benefits are provided on an accumulation basis – there are no defined benefits. Contributions are made by the entity to an employee superannuation fund and are charged as an expense when incurred.

l. Equity Accumulated Funds

The category ‘Accumulated Funds’ includes all current and prior period funds.

m. Comparative information Except when an Australian Accounting Standard permits or requires otherwise, comparative

information is disclosed in respect of the previous period for all amounts reported in the financial statements.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 302

Medical Council of NSW

n. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalent assets in the statement of financial position would normally

comprise cash on hand, cash at bank and short-term deposits and include deposits in the NSW Treasury Corporation’s Hour-Glass cash facility, other Treasury Corporation deposits (less than 90 days) and other at-call deposits that are not quoted in the active market.

Bank overdrafts are included within liabilities.

o. Adoption of New and Revised Accounting Standards A number of new standards were applied from 1 July 2014, including AASB 10 Consolidated

Financial Statements and AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. The application of these new standards did not have a significant impact on the financial statements.

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 July 2015, and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. None of these are expected to have a significant effect on the financial statements of the Council.

NSW Treasury issued TC15/03 circular which states none of the new revised Standards of Interpretations are to be adopted early.

The standards that are relevant to the Council are as follows:

a) AASB 9, AASB 2010-7 and AASB Financial Instruments 2012-6 regarding financial instruments (2015/2016)

b) AASB 2014-4 regarding acceptable methods of depreciation and amortisation

The Council’s principal financial instruments are outlined below. These financial instruments arise directly from the entity’s operations or are required to finance the Council’s operations. The Council’s main risks arising from financial instruments are outlined below, together with the Council’s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk. Further quantitative and qualitative disclosures are included throughout the financial statements.

The Council has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of risk management and reviews and agrees on policies for managing each of these risks.

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 314

Medical Council of NSW

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

b. Credit Risk

Credit risk arises when there is the possibility of the Council’s debtors defaulting on their contractual obligations, resulting in a financial loss to the Council. The maximum exposure to credit risk is generally represented by the carrying amount of the financial assets (net of any allowance for impairment).

Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the Council, including cash, receivables, and authority deposits. No collateral is held by the Council. The Council has not granted any financial guarantees.

Cash Cash comprises cash on hand and bank balances held by the Council and the HPCA on behalf of the Council. Interest is earned on the daily bank balances.

Receivables - Trade Debtors All trade debtors are recognised as amounts receivable at balance date. Collectability of trade debtors is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. An allowance for impairment is raised when there is objective evidence that the entity will not be able to collect all amounts due. This evidence includes past experience, and current and expected changes in economic conditions and debtor credit ratings. No interest is earned on trade debtors. The Council is materially exposed to concentrations of credit risk to a single trade debtor or group of debtors. This is somewhat mitigated by an agreed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between HPCA and AHPRA of behalf of the Councils and payment of debt in a timely manner.

c. Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Council will be unable to meet its payment obligations when they fall due. The HPCA on behalf of the Council continuously manages risk through monitoring future cash flows and maturities planning to ensure adequate holding of high quality liquid assets.

The liabilities are recognised for amounts due to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether or not invoiced. Amounts owing to suppliers (which are unsecured) are settled in accordance with the policy set out in Treasurer’s Direction 219.01. If trade terms are not specified, payment is made no later than the end of the month following the month in which an invoice or a statement is received. Treasurer’s Direction 219.01 allows the Minister to award interest for late payment.

All payables are current and will not attract interest payments.

d. Market Risk The Council does not have exposure to market risk on financial instruments.

e. Interest Rate Risk

The Council has minimal exposure to interest rate risk from its holdings in interest bearing financial assets. The Council has an arrangement with the Westpac Bank where all cash and cash equivalents are sitting in an interest bearing bank account earning the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) Cash Rate + basis points margin. The Council does not account for any fixed rate financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss or as available-for-sale. A reasonably possible change of +/- 1% is used, consistent with current trends in interest rates. The basis will be reviewed annually and amended where there is a structural change in the level of interest rate volatility. The RBA Cash Rate has decreased over the year as follows - June 30 2014 - 2.5% to June 30 2015 - 2.0%.

Notes to the Financial Statements 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. Reporting Entity The Medical Radiation Council of New South Wales (the Council), established on 1 July 2012,

as a not-for-profit reporting entity with no cash generating units, performs the duties and functions contained in the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law (NSW) No 86a (the Law).

These financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2015 have been authorised for issue by the Council on 15 October 2015.

b. Basis of Preparation The Council has adopted the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial statements.

The Council’s financial statements are general purpose financial statements and have been prepared in accordance with:

• applicable Australian Accounting Standards (which include Australian Accounting Interpretations), and

• the requirements of the Public Finance and Audit Act 1983 and Regulation.

The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost.

Judgements, key assumptions and estimations management has made are disclosed in the relevant notes to the financial statements.

All amounts are rounded to the nearest dollar and are expressed in Australian currency.

c. Statement of Compliance The financial statements and notes comply with Australian Accounting Standards, which

include Australian Accounting Interpretations.

d. Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions The agreed cost sharing arrangements for the distribution of pooled costs between Health

Professional Councils were introduced effective 1 July 2012 other than a revision to the allocation of indirect personnel services to Councils.

These indirect costs are shown as part of the Council’s statement of comprehensive income under the following expense line items:

1. Personnel services 2. Rent and building expenses 3. Contracted labour 4. Depreciation and Amortisation 5. Postage and Communication 6. Printing and Stationery

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 324

Medical Radiation Practice Council of NSW

e. Insurance The Council’s insurance activities are conducted through the NSW Treasury Managed Fund

Scheme of self-insurance for Government entities. The expense (premium) is determined by the Fund Manager based on past claim experience.

f. Accounting for the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Income, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except that:

• the amount of GST incurred by the Council as a purchaser that is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense, and

• receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. However, the GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Taxation Office are classified as operating cash flows.

g. Income Recognition Income is measured at the fair value of the consideration or contribution received or

receivable.

The National Registration and Accreditation Scheme (NRAS) for all health professionals commenced on 1 July 2010. NSW opted out of the complaint handling component of the National scheme and the health professional Councils were established in NSW effective from 1 July 2010 to manage the complaints function in a co-regulatory arrangement with the NSW Health Care Complaints Commission (HCCC). The Council was established on 1 July 2012 upon joining the NRAS.

Under s 26A of the Law, the complaints element of the registration fees payable by NSW health practitioners was decided by the Council established for that profession subject to approval by the Minister for Health.

The Council, under the Law, receives fees on a monthly basis from the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) being the agreed NSW complaints element for the 2015 registration fee.

Fees are progressively recognised as income by the Council as the annual registration period elapses. Fees in advance represent unearned income at balance date.

h. Personnel Services In accordance with an agreed Memorandum of Understanding, the Ministry of Health (MOH)

being the employer charges the Council for personnel services relating to the provision of all employees. Staff costs are shown in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as personnel services in the financial statements of the Council. Amounts owing for personnel services in the Statement of Financial Position represent amounts payable to the MOH in respect of personnel services.

i. Interest Revenue Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method as set out in AASB 139

Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.

j. Assets i. Acquisition of Assets

The cost method of accounting is used for the initial recording of all acquisitions of assets controlled by the Council. Cost is the amount of cash or cash equivalents paid or the fair value of the other consideration given to acquire the asset at the time of its acquisition or construction or, where applicable, the amount attributed to that asset when initially recognised in accordance with the requirements of other Australian Accounting Standards

Assets acquired at no cost, or for nominal consideration, are initially recognised at their historical cost at the date of acquisition.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Where payment for an item is deferred beyond normal credit terms, its cost is the cash price equivalent, i.e. the deferred payment amount is effectively discounted at an asset-specific rate

ii. Capitalisation Thresholds The Health Professional Councils Authority (HPCA) acquires all assets on behalf of the

Council. Shared use assets that cost over $5,000 at the time of purchase by the HPCA are capitalised. These capitalised shared use assets are then allocated to the Council using an appropriate allocation method. The minimum capitalisation threshold limits applied to the Council for the asset are $31 (2013-2014 - $48) (all Council shared use asset), or $48 (2013-2014 - $75) (Pitt Street shared use asset), whichever is applicable.

iii. Impairment of Plant and Equipment As a not-for-profit entity with no cash generating units, AASB 136 Impairment of Assets

effectively is not applicable. AASB 136 modifies the recoverable amount test to the higher of fair value less costs to sell and depreciated replacement cost. This means that, where an asset is already measured at fair value, impairment can only arise if selling costs are material. Selling costs for the entity are regarded as immaterial.

iv. Depreciation of Plant, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements Depreciation and amortisation is provided for on a straight-line basis for all depreciable assets

so as to write off the amounts of each asset as it is consumed over its useful life to the Council

Depreciation and amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

Depreciation rates used are as follows:

Plant and equipment 20% - 25% Furniture and fittings 16% - 20% Motor vehicles 25% - 29% Leasehold improvements 17% - 27.8%

v. Fair Value of Plant and Equipment

There has been no revaluation on any of the Council’s plant and equipment as they are non-specialised assets. Non-specialised assets with short useful lives are measured at depreciated historical cost as a surrogate for fair value .

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 326

Medical Radiation Practice Council of NSW

vi. Maintenance Day-to-day servicing costs or maintenance are charged as expenses as incurred, except

where they relate to the replacement of a component of an asset, in which case the costs are capitalised and depreciated.

vii. Intangible Assets The Council recognises intangible assets only if it is probable that future economic benefits

will flow to the entity and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Intangible assets are measured initially at cost. Where an asset is acquired at no or nominal cost, the cost is its fair value as at the date of acquisition.

All research costs are expensed. Development costs are only capitalised when certain criteria are met.

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be finite.

Intangible assets are subsequently measured at fair value only if there is an active market. As there is no active market for the entity’s intangible assets, the assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation.

Intangible assets are tested for impairment where an indicator of impairment exists. If the recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to recoverable amount and the reduction is recognised as an impairment loss.

The Council’s intangible assets are amortised using the straight line method over a period of four years. In general, intangible assets are tested for impairment where an indicator of impairment exists. However, as a not-for-profit entity with no cash generating units, the Council is effectively exempted from impairment testing.

viii. Loans and Receivables Loans and receivables are recognised initially at fair value, usually based on the transaction

cost or face value. Subsequent measurement is at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less an allowance for any impairment of receivables. Short-term receivables with no stated interest rate are measured at the original invoice amount where the effect of discounting is immaterial. An allowance for impairment of receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Council will not be able to collect all amounts due. The amount of the allowance is the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. Bad debts are written off with approval of the Council as incurred.

Medical Radiation Practice Council of NSW

k. Liabilities i. Trade and Other Payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Council and other amounts. Payables are recognised initially at fair value, usually based on the transaction cost or face value. Short-term payables with no stated interest rates are measured at the original invoice amount where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

ii. Personnel Services – Ministry of Health In accordance with an agreed Memorandum of Understanding, personnel services are

acquired from the MOH. As such the MOH accounting policy is below.

Liabilities for salaries and wages (including non-monetary benefits), recreation leave and paid sick leave that are due to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the service are recognised and measured in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date at undiscounted amounts based on the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

In accordance with NSWTC 15/09 ‘Accounting for Long Service Leave and Annual Leave’, the Council’s annual leave has been assessed as a short-term liability as these short-term benefits are expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employee renders the related services.

Unused non-vesting sick leave does not give rise to a liability as it is not considered probable that sick leave taken in the future will be greater than the benefits accrued in the future.

The outstanding amounts of payroll tax, workers’ compensation insurance premiums and fringe benefits tax, which are consequential to employment, are recognised as liabilities and expenses where the employee benefits to which they relate have been recognised.

All employees receive the Superannuation Guarantee Levy contribution. All superannuation benefits are provided on an accumulation basis – there are no defined benefits. Contributions are made by the entity to an employee superannuation fund and are charged as an expense when incurred.

iii. Provision for Make Good Provisions include the Council’s proportionate liability (allocated to the Council using an

appropriate allocation method) of the estimated make good liability, discounted to today’s present value.

l. Equity Accumulated Funds

The category ‘Accumulated Funds’ includes all current and prior period funds.

m. Comparative information Except when an Australian Accounting Standard permits or requires otherwise, comparative

information is disclosed in respect of the previous period for all amounts reported in the financial statements.

n. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalent assets in the statement of financial position would normally

comprise cash on hand, cash at bank and short-term deposits and include deposits in the NSW Treasury Corporation’s Hour-Glass cash facility, other Treasury Corporation deposits (less than 90 days) and other at-call deposits that are not quoted in the active market.

Bank overdrafts are included within liabilities.

o. Adoption of New and Revised Accounting Standards A number of new standards were applied from 1 July 2014, including AASB 10 Consolidated

Financial Statements and AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. The application of these new standards did not have a significant impact on the financial statements.

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 July 2015, and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. None of these are expected to have a significant effect on the financial statements of the Council.

NSW Treasury issued TC15/03 circular which states none of the new revised Standards of Interpretations are to be adopted early.

The standards that are relevant to the Council are as follows:

a) AASB 9, AASB 2010-7 and AASB Financial Instruments 2012-6 regarding financial instruments (2015/2016)

b) AASB 2014-4 regarding acceptable methods of depreciation and amortisation

13. PROVISIONS (continued)

The HPCA on behalf of Councils recognised a lease make good provision on entering into lease arrangements for Level 6, 477 Pitt Street. The provision was first included in the financial statements for 30 June 2012 and was based on a market-based estimate of the cost per square metre to make good the areas of the Pitt Street building that the HPCA occupies at the end of the lease.

As required under paragraph 59 of AASB 137, provisions are required to be reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate of the provision. The HPCA has recalculated the estimated lease make good provision as at 30 June 2015, taking into account the updated discount rate and inflation rates that are required under TC 11/17 and an updated estimate of the cost per square metre to make good the leased areas.

The impact of the changes to the three inputs to the overall lease make good provision has been to increase the required provision as at 30 June 2015.

The lease arrangements for the Pitt Street building will expire in November 2016.

Medical Radiation Practice Council of NSW

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

b. Credit Risk

Credit risk arises when there is the possibility of the Council’s debtors defaulting on their contractual obligations, resulting in a financial loss to the Council. The maximum exposure to credit risk is generally represented by the carrying amount of the financial assets (net of any allowance for impairment).

Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the Council, including cash, receivables, and authority deposits. No collateral is held by the Council. The Council has not granted any financial guarantees.

Cash Cash comprises cash on hand and bank balances held by the Council and the HPCA on behalf of the Council. Interest is earned on the daily bank balances.

Receivables - Trade Debtors All trade debtors are recognised as amounts receivable at balance date. Collectability of trade debtors is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. An allowance for impairment is raised when there is objective evidence that the entity will not be able to collect all amounts due. This evidence includes past experience, and current and expected changes in economic conditions and debtor credit ratings. No interest is earned on trade debtors. The Council is materially exposed to concentrations of credit risk to a single trade debtor or group of debtors. This is somewhat mitigated by an agreed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between HPCA and AHPRA of behalf of the Councils and payment of debt in a timely manner.

c. Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Council will be unable to meet its payment obligations when they fall due. The HPCA on behalf of the Council continuously manages risk through monitoring future cash flows and maturities planning to ensure adequate holding of high quality liquid assets.

The liabilities are recognised for amounts due to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether or not invoiced. Amounts owing to suppliers (which are unsecured) are settled in accordance with the policy set out in Treasurer’s Direction 219.01. If trade terms are not specified, payment is made no later than the end of the month following the month in which an invoice or a statement is received. Treasurer’s Direction 219.01 allows the Minister to award interest for late payment.

All payables are current and will not attract interest payments.

d. Market Risk The Council does not have exposure to market risk on financial instruments.

e. Interest Rate Risk

The Council has minimal exposure to interest rate risk from its holdings in interest bearing financial assets. The Council has an arrangement with the Westpac Bank where all cash and cash equivalents are sitting in an interest bearing bank account earning the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) Cash Rate + basis points margin. The Council does not account for any fixed rate financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss or as available-for-sale. A reasonably possible change of +/- 1% is used, consistent with current trends in interest rates. The basis will be reviewed annually and amended where there is a structural change in the level of interest rate volatility. The RBA Cash Rate has decreased over the year as follows - June 30 2014 - 2.5% to June 30 2015 - 2.0%.

19. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD There are no events after the reporting period to be included in the financial statements as of

30 June 2015.

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 349

Nursing and Midwifery Council of NSW

Notes to the Financial Statements 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. Reporting Entity The Nursing and Midwifery Council of New South Wales (the Council) as a not-for-profit

reporting entity with no cash generating units, performs the duties and functions contained in the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law (NSW) No 86a (the Law).

These financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2015 have been authorised for issue by the Council on 15 October 2015.

b. Basis of Preparation The Council has adopted the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial statements.

The Council’s financial statements are general purpose financial statements and have been prepared in accordance with:

• applicable Australian Accounting Standards (which include Australian Accounting Interpretations), and

• the requirements of the Public Finance and Audit Act 1983 and Regulation.

The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost.

Judgements, key assumptions and estimations management has made are disclosed in the relevant notes to the financial statements.

All amounts are rounded to the nearest dollar and are expressed in Australian currency.

c. Statement of Compliance The financial statements and notes comply with Australian Accounting Standards, which

include Australian Accounting Interpretations.

d. Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions The agreed cost sharing arrangements for the distribution of pooled costs between Health

Professional Councils were introduced effective 1 July 2012 other than a revision to the allocation of indirect personnel services to Councils.

These indirect costs are shown as part of the Council’s statement of comprehensive income under the following expense line items:

1. Personnel services 2. Rent and building expenses 3. Contracted labour 4. Depreciation and Amortisation 5. Postage and Communication 6. Printing and Stationery

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 350

Nursing and Midwifery Council of NSW

e. Insurance The Council’s insurance activities are conducted through the NSW Treasury Managed Fund

Scheme of self-insurance for Government entities. The expense (premium) is determined by the Fund Manager based on past claim experience.

f. Accounting for the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Income, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except that:

• the amount of GST incurred by the Council as a purchaser that is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense, and

• receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. However, the GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Taxation Office are classified as operating cash flows.

g. Income Recognition Income is measured at the fair value of the consideration or contribution received or

receivable.

The National Registration and Accreditation Scheme (NRAS) for all health professionals commenced on 1 July 2010. NSW opted out of the complaint handling component of the National scheme and the health professional Councils were established in NSW effective from 1 July 2010 to manage the complaints function in a co-regulatory arrangement with the NSW Health Care Complaints Commission (HCCC).

Under s 26A of the Law, the complaints element of the registration fees payable by NSW health practitioners was decided by the Council established for that profession subject to approval by the Minister for Health.

The Council, under the Law, receives fees on a monthly basis from the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) being the agreed NSW complaints element for the 2015 registration fee.

Fees are progressively recognised as income by the Council as the annual registration period elapses. Fees in advance represent unearned income at balance date.

h. Personnel Services In accordance with an agreed Memorandum of Understanding, the Ministry of Health (MOH)

being the employer charges the Council for personnel services relating to the provision of all employees. Staff costs are shown in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as personnel services in the financial statements of the Council. Amounts owing for personnel services in the Statement of Financial Position represent amounts payable to the MOH in respect of personnel services.

i. Interest Revenue Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method as set out in AASB 139

Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 351

Nursing and Midwifery Council of NSW

j. Education and Research The Council is responsible for the administration of the Education and Research account.

The Minister for Health may determine that a set amount of funds out of the fees received to be transferred to the Education and Research account.

k. Assets i. Acquisition of Assets

The cost method of accounting is used for the initial recording of all acquisitions of assets controlled by the Council. Cost is the amount of cash or cash equivalents paid or the fair value of the other consideration given to acquire the asset at the time of its acquisition or construction or, where applicable, the amount attributed to that asset when initially recognised in accordance with the requirements of other Australian Accounting Standards.

Assets acquired at no cost, or for nominal consideration, are initially recognised at their historical cost at the date of acquisition.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Where payment for an item is deferred beyond normal credit terms, its cost is the cash price equivalent, i.e. the deferred payment amount is effectively discounted at an asset-specific rate.

ii. Capitalisation Thresholds The Health Professional Councils Authority (HPCA) acquires all assets on behalf of the

Council. Shared use assets that cost over $5,000 at the time of purchase by the HPCA are capitalised. These capitalised shared use assets are then allocated to the Council using an appropriate allocation method. The minimum capitalisation threshold limits applied to the Council for the asset are $1,638 (2013/2014 - $1,565) (all Council shared use asset), or $2,563 (2013/2014 - $2,463) (Pitt Street shared use asset), whichever is applicable.

iii. Impairment of Plant and Equipment As a not-for-profit entity with no cash generating units, AASB 136 Impairment of Assets

effectively is not applicable. AASB 136 modifies the recoverable amount test to the higher of fair value less costs to sell and depreciated replacement cost. This means that, where an asset is already measured at fair value, impairment can only arise if selling costs are material. Selling costs for the entity are regarded as immaterial.

iv. Depreciation of Plant, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements Depreciation and amortisation is provided for on a straight-line basis for all depreciable assets

so as to write off the amounts of each asset as it is consumed over its useful life to the Council.

Depreciation and amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

Depreciation rates used are as follows:

Plant and equipment 20% - 25% Furniture and fittings 16% - 20% Motor vehicles 25% - 29% Leasehold improvements 17% - 27.8%

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 352

Nursing and Midwifery Council of NSW

v. Fair Value of Plant and Equipment

There has been no revaluation on any of the Council’s plant and equipment as they are non-specialised assets. Non-specialised assets with short useful lives are measured at depreciated historical cost as a surrogate for fair value .

vi. Maintenance Day-to-day servicing costs or maintenance are charged as expenses as incurred, except

where they relate to the replacement of a component of an asset, in which case the costs are capitalised and depreciated.

vii. Intangible Assets The Council recognises intangible assets only if it is probable that future economic benefits

will flow to the entity and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Intangible assets are measured initially at cost. Where an asset is acquired at no or nominal cost, the cost is its fair value as at the date of acquisition.

All research costs are expensed. Development costs are only capitalised when certain criteria are met.

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be finite.

Intangible assets are subsequently measured at fair value only if there is an active market. As there is no active market for the entity’s intangible assets, the assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation.

Intangible assets are tested for impairment where an indicator of impairment exists. If the recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to recoverable amount and the reduction is recognised as an impairment loss.

The Council’s intangible assets are amortised using the straight line method over a period of four years. In general, intangible assets are tested for impairment where an indicator of impairment exists. However, as a not-for-profit entity with no cash generating units, the Council is effectively exempted from impairment testing.

viii. Loans and Receivables Loans and receivables are recognised initially at fair value, usually based on the transaction

cost or face value. Subsequent measurement is at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less an allowance for any impairment of receivables. Short-term receivables with no stated interest rate are measured at the original invoice amount where the effect of discounting is immaterial. An allowance for impairment of receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Council will not be able to collect all amounts due. The amount of the allowance is the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. Bad debts are written off with approval of the Council as incurred.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 353

Nursing and Midwifery Council of NSW

l. Liabilities i. Trade and Other Payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Council and other amounts. Payables are recognised initially at fair value, usually based on the transaction cost or face value. Short-term payables with no stated interest rates are measured at the original invoice amount where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

ii. Personnel Services – Ministry of Health In accordance with an agreed Memorandum of Understanding, personnel services are

acquired from the MOH. As such the MOH accounting policy is below.

Liabilities for salaries and wages (including non-monetary benefits), recreation leave and paid sick leave that are due to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the service are recognised and measured in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date at undiscounted amounts based on the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

In accordance with NSWTC 15/09 ‘Accounting for Long Service Leave and Annual Leave’, the Council’s annual leave has been assessed as a short-term liability as these short-term benefits are expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employee renders the related services.

Unused non-vesting sick leave does not give rise to a liability as it is not considered probable that sick leave taken in the future will be greater than the benefits accrued in the future.

The outstanding amounts of payroll tax, workers’ compensation insurance premiums and fringe benefits tax, which are consequential to employment, are recognised as liabilities and expenses where the employee benefits to which they relate have been recognised.

All employees receive the Superannuation Guarantee Levy contribution. All superannuation benefits are provided on an accumulation basis – there are no defined benefits. Contributions are made by the entity to an employee superannuation fund and are charged as an expense when incurred.

iii. Provision for Make Good Provisions include the Council’s proportionate liability (allocated to the Council using an

appropriate allocation method) of the estimated make good liability, discounted to today’s present value.

m. Equity Accumulated Funds

The category ‘Accumulated Funds’ includes all current and prior period funds.

n. Comparative information Except when an Australian Accounting Standard permits or requires otherwise, comparative

information is disclosed in respect of the previous period for all amounts reported in the financial statements.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 354

Nursing and Midwifery Council of NSW

o. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalent assets in the statement of financial position would normally

comprise cash on hand, cash at bank and short-term deposits and include deposits in the NSW Treasury Corporation’s Hour-Glass cash facility, other Treasury Corporation deposits (less than 90 days) and other at-call deposits that are not quoted in the active market.

Bank overdrafts are included within liabilities.

p. Adoption of New and Revised Accounting Standards A number of new standards were applied from 1 July 2014, including AASB 10 Consolidated

Financial Statements and AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. The application of these new standards did not have a significant impact on the financial statements.

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 July 2015, and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. None of these are expected to have a significant effect on the financial statements of the Council.

NSW Treasury issued TC15/03 circular which states none of the new revised Standards of Interpretations are to be adopted early.

The standards that are relevant to the Council are as follows:

a) AASB 9, AASB 2010-7 and AASB Financial Instruments 2012-6 regarding financial instruments (2015/2016)

b) AASB 2014-4 regarding acceptable methods of depreciation and amortisation

13. PROVISIONS (continued)

The HPCA on behalf of Councils recognised a lease make good provision on entering into lease arrangements for Level 6, 477 Pitt Street. The provision was first included in the financial statements for 30 June 2011 and was based on a market-based estimate of the cost per square metre to make good the areas of the Pitt Street building that the HPCA occupies at the end of the lease.

As required under paragraph 59 of AASB 137, provisions are required to be reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate of the provision. The HPCA has recalculated the estimated lease make good provision as at 30 June 2015, taking into account the updated discount rate and inflation rates that are required under TC 11/17 and an updated estimate of the cost per square metre to make good the leased areas.

The impact of the changes to the three inputs to the overall lease make good provision has been to increase the required provision as at 30 June 2015.

The lease arrangements for the Pitt Street building will expire in November 2016.

The Council’s principal financial instruments are outlined below. These financial instruments arise directly from the entity’s operations or are required to finance the Council’s operations. The Council’s main risks arising from financial instruments are outlined below, together with the Council’s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk. Further quantitative and qualitative disclosures are included throughout the financial statements.

The Council has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of risk management and reviews and agrees on policies for managing each of these risks.

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 366

Nursing and Midwifery Council of NSW

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

b. Credit Risk

Credit risk arises when there is the possibility of the Council’s debtors defaulting on their contractual obligations, resulting in a financial loss to the Council. The maximum exposure to credit risk is generally represented by the carrying amount of the financial assets (net of any allowance for impairment).

Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the Council, including cash, receivables, and authority deposits. No collateral is held by the Council. The Council has not granted any financial guarantees.

Cash Cash comprises cash on hand and bank balances held by the Council and the HPCA on behalf of the Council. Interest is earned on the daily bank balances.

Receivables - Trade Debtors All trade debtors are recognised as amounts receivable at balance date. Collectability of trade debtors is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. An allowance for impairment is raised when there is objective evidence that the entity will not be able to collect all amounts due. This evidence includes past experience, and current and expected changes in economic conditions and debtor credit ratings. No interest is earned on trade debtors. The Council is materially exposed to concentrations of credit risk to a single trade debtor or group of debtors. This is somewhat mitigated by an agreed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between HPCA and AHPRA of behalf of the Councils and payment of debt in a timely manner.

c. Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Council will be unable to meet its payment obligations when they fall due. The HPCA on behalf of the Council continuously manages risk through monitoring future cash flows and maturities planning to ensure adequate holding of high quality liquid assets.

The liabilities are recognised for amounts due to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether or not invoiced. Amounts owing to suppliers (which are unsecured) are settled in accordance with the policy set out in Treasurer’s Direction 219.01. If trade terms are not specified, payment is made no later than the end of the month following the month in which an invoice or a statement is received. Treasurer’s Direction 219.01 allows the Minister to award interest for late payment.

All payables are current and will not attract interest payments.

d. Market Risk The Council does not have exposure to market risk on financial instruments.

e. Interest Rate Risk

The Council has minimal exposure to interest rate risk from its holdings in interest bearing financial assets. The Council has an arrangement with the Westpac Bank where all cash and cash equivalents are sitting in an interest bearing bank account earning the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) Cash Rate + basis points margin. The Council does not account for any fixed rate financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss or as available-for-sale. A reasonably possible change of +/- 1% is used, consistent with current trends in interest rates. The basis will be reviewed annually and amended where there is a structural change in the level of interest rate volatility. The RBA Cash Rate has decreased over the year as follows - June 30 2014 - 2.5% to June 30 2015 - 2.0%.

Notes to the Financial Statements 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. Reporting Entity The Occupational Therapy Council of New South Wales (the Council), established on

1 July 2012, as a not-for-profit reporting entity with no cash generating units, performs the duties and functions contained in the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law (NSW) No 86a (the Law).

These financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2015 have been authorised for issue by the Council on 15 October 2015.

b. Basis of Preparation The Council has adopted the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial statements.

The Council’s financial statements are general purpose financial statements and have been prepared in accordance with:

• applicable Australian Accounting Standards (which include Australian Accounting Interpretations), and

• the requirements of the Public Finance and Audit Act 1983 and Regulation.

The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost.

Judgements, key assumptions and estimations management has made are disclosed in the relevant notes to the financial statements.

All amounts are rounded to the nearest dollar and are expressed in Australian currency.

c. Statement of Compliance The financial statements and notes comply with Australian Accounting Standards, which

include Australian Accounting Interpretations.

d. Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions The agreed cost sharing arrangements for the distribution of pooled costs between Health

Professional Councils were introduced effective 1 July 2012 other than a revision to the allocation of indirect personnel services to Councils.

During August 2014 the NSW Health Professional Councils agreed to waive and absorb the obligation by the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Practitioner Council of New South Wales for the allocation of indirect pooled costs effective 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2015.

During August 2014 the following NSW Health Professional Councils being Chiropractic Council of New South Wales, Occupational Therapy Council of New South Wales and Physiotherapy Council of New South Wales agreed to waive and absorb the obligation by the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Practitioner Council of New South Wales for the allocation of direct labour costs effective 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2015.

These indirect costs are shown as part of the Council’s statement of comprehensive income under the following expense line items: 1. Personnel services

2. Rent and building expenses 3. Contracted labour 4. Depreciation and Amortisation 5. Postage and Communication 6. Printing and Stationery

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 376

Occupational Therapy Council of NSW

e. Insurance The Council’s insurance activities are conducted through the NSW Treasury Managed Fund

Scheme of self-insurance for Government entities. The expense (premium) is determined by the Fund Manager based on past claim experience.

f. Accounting for the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Income, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except that:

• the amount of GST incurred by the Council as a purchaser that is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense, and

• receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. However, the GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Taxation Office are classified as operating cash flows.

g. Income Recognition Income is measured at the fair value of the consideration or contribution received or

receivable.

The National Registration and Accreditation Scheme (NRAS) for all health professionals commenced on 1 July 2010. NSW opted out of the complaint handling component of the National scheme and the health professional Councils were established in NSW effective from 1 July 2010 to manage the complaints function in a co-regulatory arrangement with the NSW Health Care Complaints Commission (HCCC). The Council was established on 1 July 2012 upon joining the NRAS.

Under s 26A of the Law, the complaints element of the registration fees payable by NSW health practitioners was decided by the Council established for that profession subject to approval by the Minister for Health.

Fees are progressively recognised as income by the Council as the annual registration period elapses. Fees in advance represent unearned income at balance date.

h. Personnel Services In accordance with an agreed Memorandum of Understanding, the Ministry of Health (MOH)

being the employer charges the Council for personnel services relating to the provision of all employees. Staff costs are shown in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as personnel services in the financial statements of the Council. Amounts owing for personnel services in the Statement of Financial Position represent amounts payable to the MOH in respect of personnel services.

i. Interest Revenue Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method as set out in AASB 139

Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 377

Occupational Therapy Council of NSW

j. Assets i. Acquisition of Assets

The cost method of accounting is used for the initial recording of all acquisitions of assets controlled by the Council. Cost is the amount of cash or cash equivalents paid or the fair value of the other consideration given to acquire the asset at the time of its acquisition or construction or, where applicable, the amount attributed to that asset when initially recognised in accordance with the requirements of other Australian Accounting Standards.

Assets acquired at no cost, or for nominal consideration, are initially recognised at their historical cost at the date of acquisition.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Where payment for an item is deferred beyond normal credit terms, its cost is the cash price equivalent, i.e. the deferred payment amount is effectively discounted at an asset-specific rate.

ii. Capitalisation Thresholds The Health Professional Councils Authority (HPCA) acquires all assets on behalf of the

Council. Shared use assets that cost over $5,000 at the time of purchase by the HPCA are capitalised. These capitalised shared use assets are then allocated to the Council using an appropriate allocation method. The minimum capitalisation threshold limits applied to the Council for the asset are $43 (2013-2014 - $45) (all council shared use asset) or $67 (2013-2014 - $70) (Pitt Street shared use asset), whichever is applicable.

iii. Impairment of Plant and Equipment As a not-for-profit entity with no cash generating units, AASB 136 Impairment of Assets

effectively is not applicable. AASB 136 modifies the recoverable amount test to the higher of fair value less costs to sell and depreciated replacement cost. This means that, where an asset is already measured at fair value, impairment can only arise if selling costs are material. Selling costs for the entity are regarded as immaterial.

iv. Depreciation of Plant, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements Depreciation and amortisation is provided for on a straight-line basis for all depreciable assets

so as to write off the amounts of each asset as it is consumed over its useful life to the Council.

Depreciation and amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

Depreciation rates used are as follows:

Plant and equipment 20% - 25% Furniture and fittings 16% - 20% Motor vehicles 25% - 29% Leasehold improvements 17% - 27.8%

v. Fair Value of Plant and Equipment

There has been no revaluation on any of the Council’s plant and equipment as they are non-specialised assets. Non-specialised assets with short useful lives are measured at depreciated historical cost as a surrogate for fair value.

Occupational Therapy Council of NSW

vi. Maintenance Day-to-day servicing costs or maintenance are charged as expenses as incurred, except

where they relate to the replacement of a component of an asset, in which case the costs are capitalised and depreciated.

vii. Intangible Assets The Council recognises intangible assets only if it is probable that future economic benefits

will flow to the entity and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Intangible assets are measured initially at cost. Where an asset is acquired at no or nominal cost, the cost is its fair value as at the date of acquisition.

All research costs are expensed. Development costs are only capitalised when certain criteria are met.

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be finite.

Intangible assets are subsequently measured at fair value only if there is an active market. As there is no active market for the entity’s intangible assets, the assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation.

Intangible assets are tested for impairment where an indicator of impairment exists. If the recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to recoverable amount and the reduction is recognised as an impairment loss.

The Council’s intangible assets are amortised using the straight line method over a period of four years. In general, intangible assets are tested for impairment where an indicator of impairment exists. However, as a not-for-profit entity with no cash generating units, the Council is effectively exempted from impairment testing.

viii. Loans and Receivables Loans and receivables are recognised initially at fair value, usually based on the transaction

cost or face value. Subsequent measurement is at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less an allowance for any impairment of receivables. Short-term receivables with no stated interest rate are measured at the original invoice amount where the effect of discounting is immaterial. An allowance for impairment of receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Council will not be able to collect all amounts due. The amount of the allowance is the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. Bad debts are written off with approval of the Council as incurred.

k. Liabilities i. Trade and Other Payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Council and other amounts. Payables are recognised initially at fair value, usually based on the transaction cost or face value. Short-term payables with no stated interest rates are measured at the original invoice amount where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

ii. Personnel Services – Ministry of Health In accordance with an agreed Memorandum of Understanding, personnel services are

acquired from the MOH. As such the MOH accounting policy is below.

Liabilities for salaries and wages (including non-monetary benefits), recreation leave and paid sick leave that are due to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the service are recognised and measured in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date at undiscounted amounts based on the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

In accordance with NSWTC 15/09 ‘Accounting for Long Service Leave and Annual Leave’, the Council’s annual leave has been assessed as a short-term liability as these short-term benefits are expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employee renders the related services.

Unused non-vesting sick leave does not give rise to a liability as it is not considered probable that sick leave taken in the future will be greater than the benefits accrued in the future.

The outstanding amounts of payroll tax, workers’ compensation insurance premiums and fringe benefits tax, which are consequential to employment, are recognised as liabilities and expenses where the employee benefits to which they relate have been recognised.

All employees receive the Superannuation Guarantee Levy contribution. All superannuation benefits are provided on an accumulation basis – there are no defined benefits. Contributions are made by the entity to an employee superannuation fund and are charged as an expense when incurred.

iii. Provision for Make Good Provisions include the Council’s proportionate liability (allocated to the Council using an

appropriate allocation method) of the estimated make good liability, discounted to today’s present value.

l. Equity Accumulated Funds

The category ‘Accumulated Funds’ includes all current and prior period funds.

m. Comparative information Except when an Australian Accounting Standard permits or requires otherwise, comparative

information is disclosed in respect of the previous period for all amounts reported in the financial statements.

n. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalent assets in the statement of financial position would normally

comprise cash on hand, cash at bank and short-term deposits and include deposits in the NSW Treasury Corporation’s Hour-Glass cash facility, other Treasury Corporation deposits (less than 90 days) and other at-call deposits that are not quoted in the active market.

Bank overdrafts are included within liabilities.

o. Adoption of New and Revised Accounting Standards A number of new standards were applied from 1 July 2014, including AASB 10 Consolidated

Financial Statements and AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. The application of these new standards did not have a significant impact on the financial statements.

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 July 2015, and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. None of these are expected to have a significant effect on the financial statements of the Council.

NSW Treasury issued TC15/03 circular which states none of the new revised Standards of Interpretations are to be adopted early.

The standards that are relevant to the Council are as follows:

a) AASB 9, AASB 2010-7 and AASB Financial Instruments 2012-6 regarding financial instruments (2015/2016)

b) AASB 2014-4 regarding acceptable methods of depreciation and amortisation

13. PROVISIONS (continued)

The HPCA on behalf of Councils recognised a lease make good provision on entering into lease arrangements for Level 6, 477 Pitt Street. The provision was first included in the financial statements for 30 June 2013 and was based on a market-based estimate of the cost per square metre to make good the areas of the Pitt Street building that the HPCA occupies at the end of the lease.

As required under paragraph 59 of AASB 137, provisions are required to be reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate of the provision. The HPCA has recalculated the estimated lease make good provision as at 30 June 2015, taking into account the updated discount rate and inflation rates that are required under TC 11/17 and an updated estimate of the cost per square metre to make good the leased areas.

The impact of the changes to the three inputs to the overall lease make good provision has been to increase the required provision as at 30 June 2015.

The lease arrangements for the Pitt Street building will expire in November 2016.

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 393

Occupational Therapy Council of NSW

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

b. Credit Risk

Credit risk arises when there is the possibility of the Council’s debtors defaulting on their contractual obligations, resulting in a financial loss to the Council. The maximum exposure to credit risk is generally represented by the carrying amount of the financial assets (net of any allowance for impairment).

Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the Council, including cash, receivables, and authority deposits. No collateral is held by the Council. The Council has not granted any financial guarantees.

Cash Cash comprises cash on hand and bank balances held by the Council and the HPCA on behalf of the Council. Interest is earned on the daily bank balances.

Receivables - Trade Debtors All trade debtors are recognised as amounts receivable at balance date. Collectability of trade debtors is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. An allowance for impairment is raised when there is objective evidence that the entity will not be able to collect all amounts due. This evidence includes past experience, and current and expected changes in economic conditions and debtor credit ratings. No interest is earned on trade debtors. The Council is materially exposed to concentrations of credit risk to a single trade debtor or group of debtors. This is somewhat mitigated by an agreed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between HPCA and AHPRA on behalf of the Councils and payment of debt in a timely manner.

c. Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Council will be unable to meet its payment obligations when they fall due. The HPCA on behalf of the Council continuously manages risk through monitoring future cash flows and maturities planning to ensure adequate holding of high quality liquid assets.

The liabilities are recognised for amounts due to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether or not invoiced. Amounts owing to suppliers (which are unsecured) are settled in accordance with the policy set out in Treasurer’s Direction 219.01. If trade terms are not specified, payment is made no later than the end of the month following the month in which an invoice or a statement is received. Treasurer’s Direction 219.01 allows the Minister to award interest for late payment.

All payables are current and will not attract interest payments.

d. Market Risk The Council does not have exposure to market risk on financial instruments.

e. Interest Rate Risk The Council has minimal exposure to interest rate risk from its holdings in interest bearing

financial assets. The Council has an arrangement with the Westpac Bank where all cash and cash equivalents are sitting in an interest bearing bank account earning the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) Cash Rate + basis points margin. The Council does not account for any fixed rate financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss or as available-for-sale. A reasonably possible change of +/- 1% is used, consistent with current trends in interest rates. The basis will be reviewed annually and amended where there is a structural change in the level of interest rate volatility. The RBA Cash Rate has decreased over the year as follows - June 30 2014 - 2.5% to June 30 2015 - 2.0%.

Optometry Council of NSW

Notes to the Financial Statements 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. Reporting Entity The Optometry Council of New South Wales (the Council) as a not-for-profit reporting entity

with no cash generating units, performs the duties and functions contained in the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law (NSW) No 86a (the Law).

These financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2015 have been authorised for issue by the Council on 15 October 2015.

b. Basis of Preparation The Council has adopted the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial statements.

The Council’s financial statements are general purpose financial statements and have been prepared in accordance with:

• applicable Australian Accounting Standards (which include Australian Accounting Interpretations), and

• the requirements of the Public Finance and Audit Act 1983 and Regulation.

The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost.

Judgements, key assumptions and estimations management has made are disclosed in the relevant notes to the financial statements.

All amounts are rounded to the nearest dollar and are expressed in Australian currency.

c. Statement of Compliance The financial statements and notes comply with Australian Accounting Standards, which

include Australian Accounting Interpretations.

d. Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions The agreed cost sharing arrangements for the distribution of pooled costs between Health

Professional Councils were introduced effective 1 July 2012 other than a revision to the allocation of indirect personnel services to Councils.

These indirect costs are shown as part of the Council’s statement of comprehensive income under the following expense line items:

1. Personnel services 2. Rent and building expenses 3. Contracted labour 4. Depreciation and Amortisation 5. Postage and Communication 6. Printing and Stationery

e. Insurance The Council’s insurance activities are conducted through the NSW Treasury Managed Fund

Scheme of self-insurance for Government entities. The expense (premium) is determined by the Fund Manager based on past claim experience.

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 403

Optometry Council of NSW

f. Accounting for the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Income, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except that:

• the amount of GST incurred by the Council as a purchaser that is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense, and

• receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. However, the GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Taxation Office are classified as operating cash flows.

g. Income Recognition Income is measured at the fair value of the consideration or contribution received or

receivable.

The National Registration and Accreditation Scheme (NRAS) for all health professionals commenced on 1 July 2010. NSW opted out of the complaint handling component of the National scheme and the health professional Councils were established in NSW effective from 1 July 2010 to manage the complaints function in a co-regulatory arrangement with the NSW Health Care Complaints Commission (HCCC).

Under s 26A of the Law, the complaints element of the registration fees payable by NSW health practitioners was decided by the Council established for that profession subject to approval by the Minister for Health.

The Council, under the Law, receives fees on a monthly basis from the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) being the agreed NSW complaints element for the 2015 registration fee.

Fees are progressively recognised as income by the Council as the annual registration period elapses. Fees in advance represent unearned income at balance date.

h. Personnel Services In accordance with an agreed Memorandum of Understanding, the Ministry of Health (MOH)

being the employer charges the Council for personnel services relating to the provision of all employees. Staff costs are shown in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as personnel services in the financial statements of the Council. Amounts owing for personnel services in the Statement of Financial Position represent amounts payable to the MOH in respect of personnel services.

i. Interest Revenue Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method as set out in AASB 139

Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 404

Optometry Council of NSW

j. Education and Research The Council is responsible for the administration of the Education and Research account. The

Minister for Health may determine that a set amount of funds out of the fees received to be transferred to the Education and Research account.

k. Assets i. Acquisition of Assets

The cost method of accounting is used for the initial recording of all acquisitions of assets controlled by the Council. Cost is the amount of cash or cash equivalents paid or the fair value of the other consideration given to acquire the asset at the time of its acquisition or construction or, where applicable, the amount attributed to that asset when initially recognised in accordance with the requirements of other Australian Accounting Standards.

Assets acquired at no cost, or for nominal consideration, are initially recognised at their historical cost at the date of acquisition.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Where payment for an item is deferred beyond normal credit terms, its cost is the cash price equivalent, i.e. the deferred payment amount is effectively discounted at an asset-specific rate.

ii. Capitalisation Thresholds The Health Professional Councils Authority (HPCA) acquires all assets on behalf of the

Council. Shared use assets that cost over $5,000 at the time of purchase by the HPCA are capitalised. These capitalised shared use assets are then allocated to the Council using an appropriate allocation method. The minimum capitalisation threshold limits applied to the Council for the asset are $41 (2013/2014 - $49) (all Council shared use asset), or $64 (2013/2014 - $76) (Pitt Street shared use asset), whichever is applicable.

iii. Impairment of Plant and Equipment As a not-for-profit entity with no cash generating units, AASB 136 Impairment of Assets

effectively is not applicable. AASB 136 modifies the recoverable amount test to the higher of fair value less costs to sell and depreciated replacement cost. This means that, where an asset is already measured at fair value, impairment can only arise if selling costs are material. Selling costs for the entity are regarded as immaterial.

iv. Depreciation of Plant, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements Depreciation and amortisation is provided for on a straight-line basis for all depreciable assets

so as to write off the amounts of each asset as it is consumed over its useful life to the Council.

Depreciation and amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

Depreciation rates used are as follows:

Plant and equipment 20% - 25% Furniture and fittings 16% - 20% Motor vehicles 25% - 29% Leasehold improvements 17% - 27.8%

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 405

Optometry Council of NSW

v. Fair Value of Plant and Equipment

There has been no revaluation on any of the Council’s plant and equipment as they are non-specialised assets. Non-specialised assets with short useful lives are measured at depreciated historical cost as a surrogate for fair value.

vi. Maintenance Day-to-day servicing costs or maintenance are charged as expenses as incurred, except

where they relate to the replacement of a component of an asset, in which case the costs are capitalised and depreciated.

vii. Intangible Assets The Council recognises intangible assets only if it is probable that future economic benefits

will flow to the entity and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Intangible assets are measured initially at cost. Where an asset is acquired at no or nominal cost, the cost is its fair value as at the date of acquisition.

All research costs are expensed. Development costs are only capitalised when certain criteria are met.

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be finite.

Intangible assets are subsequently measured at fair value only if there is an active market. As there is no active market for the entity’s intangible assets, the assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation.

Intangible assets are tested for impairment where an indicator of impairment exists. If the recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to recoverable amount and the reduction is recognised as an impairment loss.

The Council’s intangible assets are amortised using the straight line method over a period of four years. In general, intangible assets are tested for impairment where an indicator of impairment exists. However, as a not-for-profit entity with no cash generating units, the Council is effectively exempted from impairment testing.

viii. Loans and Receivables Loans and receivables are recognised initially at fair value, usually based on the transaction

cost or face value. Subsequent measurement is at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less an allowance for any impairment of receivables. Short-term receivables with no stated interest rate are measured at the original invoice amount where the effect of discounting is immaterial. An allowance for impairment of receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Council will not be able to collect all amounts due. The amount of the allowance is the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. Bad debts are written off with approval of the Council as incurred.

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 406

Optometry Council of NSW

l. Liabilities i. Trade and Other Payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Council and other amounts. Payables are recognised initially at fair value, usually based on the transaction cost or face value. Short-term payables with no stated interest rates are measured at the original invoice amount where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

ii. Personnel Services – Ministry of Health In accordance with an agreed Memorandum of Understanding, personnel services are

acquired from the MOH. As such the MOH accounting policy is below.

Liabilities for salaries and wages (including non-monetary benefits), recreation leave and paid sick leave that are due to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the service are recognised and measured in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date at undiscounted amounts based on the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

In accordance with NSWTC 15/09 ‘Accounting for Long Service Leave and Annual Leave’, the Council’s annual leave has been assessed as a short-term liability as these short-term benefits are expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employee renders the related services.

Unused non-vesting sick leave does not give rise to a liability as it is not considered probable that sick leave taken in the future will be greater than the benefits accrued in the future.

The outstanding amounts of payroll tax, workers’ compensation insurance premiums and fringe benefits tax, which are consequential to employment, are recognised as liabilities and expenses where the employee benefits to which they relate have been recognised.

All employees receive the Superannuation Guarantee Levy contribution. All superannuation benefits are provided on an accumulation basis – there are no defined benefits. Contributions are made by the entity to an employee superannuation fund and are charged as an expense when incurred.

iii. Provision for Make Good Provisions include the Council’s proportionate liability (allocated to the Council using an

appropriate allocation method) of the estimated make good liability, discounted to today’s present value.

m. Equity Accumulated Funds

The category ‘Accumulated Funds’ includes all current and prior period funds.

n. Comparative information Except when an Australian Accounting Standard permits or requires otherwise, comparative

information is disclosed in respect of the previous period for all amounts reported in the financial statements.

o. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalent assets in the statement of financial position would normally

comprise cash on hand, cash at bank and short-term deposits and include deposits in the NSW Treasury Corporation’s Hour-Glass cash facility, other Treasury Corporation deposits (less than 90 days) and other at-call deposits that are not quoted in the active market.

Bank overdrafts are included within liabilities.

p. Adoption of New and Revised Accounting Standards A number of new standards were applied from 1 July 2014, including AASB 10 Consolidated

Financial Statements and AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. The application of these new standards did not have a significant impact on the financial statements.

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 July 2015, and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. None of these are expected to have a significant effect on the financial statements of the Council.

NSW Treasury issued TC15/03 circular which states none of the new revised Standards of Interpretations are to be adopted early.

The standards that are relevant to the Council are as follows:

a) AASB 9, AASB 2010-7 and AASB Financial Instruments 2012-6 regarding financial instruments (2015/2016)

b) AASB 2014-4 regarding acceptable methods of depreciation and amortisation

13. PROVISIONS (continued)

The HPCA on behalf of Councils recognised a lease make good provision on entering into lease arrangements for Level 6, 477 Pitt Street. The provision was first included in the financial statements for 30 June 2011 and was based on a market-based estimate of the cost per square metre to make good the areas of the Pitt Street building that the HPCA occupies at the end of the lease.

As required under paragraph 59 of AASB 137, provisions are required to be reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate of the provision. The HPCA has recalculated the estimated lease make good provision as at 30 June 2015, taking into account the updated discount rate and inflation rates that are required under TC 11/17 and an updated estimate of the cost per square metre to make good the leased areas.

The impact of the changes to the three inputs to the overall lease make good provision has been to increase the required provision as at 30 June 2015.

The lease arrangements for the Pitt Street building will expire in November 2016.

The Council’s principal financial instruments are outlined below. These financial instruments arise directly from the entity’s operations or are required to finance the Council’s operations. The Council’s main risks arising from financial instruments are outlined below, together with the Council’s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk. Further quantitative and qualitative disclosures are included throughout the financial statements.

The Council has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of risk management and reviews and agrees on policies for managing each of these risks.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

b. Credit Risk

Credit risk arises when there is the possibility of the Council’s debtors defaulting on their contractual obligations, resulting in a financial loss to the Council. The maximum exposure to credit risk is generally represented by the carrying amount of the financial assets (net of any allowance for impairment).

Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the Council, including cash, receivables, and authority deposits. No collateral is held by the Council. The Council has not granted any financial guarantees.

Cash Cash comprises cash on hand and bank balances held by the Council and the HPCA on behalf of the Council. Interest is earned on the daily bank balances.

Receivables - Trade Debtors All trade debtors are recognised as amounts receivable at balance date. Collectability of trade debtors is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. An allowance for impairment is raised when there is objective evidence that the entity will not be able to collect all amounts due. This evidence includes past experience, and current and expected changes in economic conditions and debtor credit ratings. No interest is earned on trade debtors. The Council is materially exposed to concentrations of credit risk to a single trade debtor or group of debtors. This is somewhat mitigated by an agreed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between HPCA and AHPRA on behalf of the Councils and payment of debt in a timely manner.

c. Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Council will be unable to meet its payment obligations when they fall due. The HPCA on behalf of the Council continuously manages risk through monitoring future cash flows and maturities planning to ensure adequate holding of high quality liquid assets.

The liabilities are recognised for amounts due to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether or not invoiced. Amounts owing to suppliers (which are unsecured) are settled in accordance with the policy set out in Treasurer’s Direction 219.01. If trade terms are not specified, payment is made no later than the end of the month following the month in which an invoice or a statement is received. Treasurer’s Direction 219.01 allows the Minister to award interest for late payment.

All payables are current and will not attract interest payments.

d. Market Risk The Council does not have exposure to market risk on financial instruments.

e. Interest Rate Risk The Council has minimal exposure to interest rate risk from its holdings in interest bearing

financial assets. The Council has an arrangement with the Westpac Bank where all cash and cash equivalents are sitting in an interest bearing bank account earning the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) Cash Rate + basis points margin. The Council does not account for any fixed rate financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss or as available-for-sale. A reasonably possible change of +/- 1% is used, consistent with current trends in interest rates. The basis will be reviewed annually and amended where there is a structural change in the level of interest rate volatility. The RBA Cash Rate has decreased over the year as follows - June 30 2014 - 2.5% to June 30 2015 - 2.0%.

Osteopathy Council of NSW

Notes to the Financial Statements 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. Reporting Entity The Osteopathy Council of New South Wales (the Council) as a not-for-profit reporting entity

with no cash generating units, performs the duties and functions contained in the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law (NSW) No 86a (the Law).

These financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2015 have been authorised for issue by the Council on 15 October 2015.

b. Basis of Preparation The Council has adopted the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial statements.

The Council’s financial statements are general purpose financial statements and have been prepared in accordance with:

• applicable Australian Accounting Standards (which include Australian Accounting Interpretations), and

• the requirements of the Public Finance and Audit Act 1983 and Regulation.

The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost.

Judgements, key assumptions and estimations management has made are disclosed in the relevant notes to the financial statements.

All amounts are rounded to the nearest dollar and are expressed in Australian currency.

c. Statement of Compliance The financial statements and notes comply with Australian Accounting Standards, which

include Australian Accounting Interpretations.

d. Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions The agreed cost sharing arrangements for the distribution of pooled costs between Health

Professional Councils were introduced effective 1 July 2012 other than a revision to the allocation of indirect personnel services to Councils.

These indirect costs are shown as part of the Council’s statement of comprehensive income under the following expense line items:

1. Personnel services 2. Rent and building expenses 3. Contracted labour 4. Depreciation and Amortisation 5. Postage and Communication 6. Printing and Stationery

e. Insurance The Council’s insurance activities are conducted through the NSW Treasury Managed Fund

Scheme of self-insurance for Government entities. The expense (premium) is determined by the Fund Manager based on past claim experience.

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 430

Osteopathy Council of NSW

f. Accounting for the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Income, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except that:

• the amount of GST incurred by the Council as a purchaser that is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense, and

• receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. However, the GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Taxation Office are classified as operating cash flows.

g. Income Recognition Income is measured at the fair value of the consideration or contribution received or

receivable.

The National Registration and Accreditation Scheme (NRAS) for all health professionals commenced on 1 July 2010. NSW opted out of the complaint handling component of the National scheme and the health professional Councils were established in NSW effective from 1 July 2010 to manage the complaints function in a co-regulatory arrangement with the NSW Health Care Complaints Commission (HCCC).

Under s 26A of the Law, the complaints element of the registration fees payable by NSW health practitioners was decided by the Council established for that profession subject to approval by the Minister for Health.

The Council, under the Law, receives fees on a monthly basis from the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) being the agreed NSW complaints element for the 2015 registration fee.

Fees are progressively recognised as income by the Council as the annual registration period elapses. Fees in advance represent unearned income at balance date.

h. Personnel Services In accordance with an agreed Memorandum of Understanding, the Ministry of Health (MOH)

being the employer charges the Council for personnel services relating to the provision of all employees. Staff costs are shown in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as personnel services in the financial statements of the Council. Amounts owing for personnel services in the Statement of Financial Position represent amounts payable to the MOH in respect of personnel services.

i. Interest Revenue Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method as set out in AASB 139

Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 431

Osteopathy Council of NSW

j. Education and Research The Council is responsible for the administration of the Education and Research account. The

Minister for Health may determine that a set amount of funds out of the fees received to be transferred to the Education and Research account.

k. Assets i. Acquisition of Assets

The cost method of accounting is used for the initial recording of all acquisitions of assets controlled by the Council. Cost is the amount of cash or cash equivalents paid or the fair value of the other consideration given to acquire the asset at the time of its acquisition or construction or, where applicable, the amount attributed to that asset when initially recognised in accordance with the requirements of other Australian Accounting Standards.

Assets acquired at no cost, or for nominal consideration, are initially recognised at their historical cost at the date of acquisition.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Where payment for an item is deferred beyond normal credit terms, its cost is the cash price equivalent, i.e. the deferred payment amount is effectively discounted at an asset-specific rate.

ii. Capitalisation Thresholds The Health Professional Councils Authority (HPCA) acquires all assets on behalf of the

Council. Shared use assets that cost over $5,000 at the time of purchase by the HPCA are capitalised. These capitalised shared use assets are then allocated to the Council using an appropriate allocation method. The minimum capitalisation threshold limits applied to the Council for the asset are $32 (2013/2014 - $21) (all Council shared use asset), or $49 (2013/2014 - $34) (Pitt Street shared use asset), whichever is applicable.

iii. Impairment of Plant and Equipment As a not-for-profit entity with no cash generating units, AASB 136 Impairment of Assets

effectively is not applicable. AASB 136 modifies the recoverable amount test to the higher of fair value less costs to sell and depreciated replacement cost. This means that, where an asset is already measured at fair value, impairment can only arise if selling costs are material. Selling costs for the entity are regarded as immaterial.

iv. Depreciation of Plant, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements Depreciation and amortisation is provided for on a straight-line basis for all depreciable assets

so as to write off the amounts of each asset as it is consumed over its useful life to the Council.

Depreciation and amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

Depreciation rates used are as follows:

Plant and equipment 20% - 25% Furniture and fittings 16% - 20% Motor vehicles 25% - 29% Leasehold improvements 17% - 27.8%

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 432

Osteopathy Council of NSW

v. Fair Value of Plant and Equipment

There has been no revaluation on any of the Council’s plant and equipment as they are non-specialised assets. Non-specialised assets with short useful lives are measured at depreciated historical cost as a surrogate for fair value.

vi. Maintenance Day-to-day servicing costs or maintenance are charged as expenses as incurred, except

where they relate to the replacement of a component of an asset, in which case the costs are capitalised and depreciated.

vii. Intangible Assets The Council recognises intangible assets only if it is probable that future economic benefits

will flow to the entity and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Intangible assets are measured initially at cost. Where an asset is acquired at no or nominal cost, the cost is its fair value as at the date of acquisition.

All research costs are expensed. Development costs are only capitalised when certain criteria are met.

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be finite.

Intangible assets are subsequently measured at fair value only if there is an active market. As there is no active market for the entity’s intangible assets, the assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation.

Intangible assets are tested for impairment where an indicator of impairment exists. If the recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to recoverable amount and the reduction is recognised as an impairment loss.

The Council’s intangible assets are amortised using the straight line method over a period of four years. In general, intangible assets are tested for impairment where an indicator of impairment exists. However, as a not-for-profit entity with no cash generating units, the Council is effectively exempted from impairment testing.

viii. Loans and Receivables Loans and receivables are recognised initially at fair value, usually based on the transaction

cost or face value. Subsequent measurement is at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less an allowance for any impairment of receivables. Short-term receivables with no stated interest rate are measured at the original invoice amount where the effect of discounting is immaterial. An allowance for impairment of receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Council will not be able to collect all amounts due. The amount of the allowance is the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. Bad debts are written off with approval of the Council as incurred.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 433

Osteopathy Council of NSW

l. Liabilities i. Trade and Other Payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Council and other amounts. Payables are recognised initially at fair value, usually based on the transaction cost or face value. Short-term payables with no stated interest rates are measured at the original invoice amount where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

ii. Personnel Services – Ministry of Health In accordance with an agreed Memorandum of Understanding, personnel services are

acquired from the MOH. As such the MOH accounting policy is below.

Liabilities for salaries and wages (including non-monetary benefits), recreation leave and paid sick leave that are due to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the service are recognised and measured in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date at undiscounted amounts based on the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

In accordance with NSWTC 15/09 ‘Accounting for Long Service Leave and Annual Leave’, the Council’s annual leave has been assessed as a short-term liability as these short-term benefits are expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employee renders the related services.

Unused non-vesting sick leave does not give rise to a liability as it is not considered probable that sick leave taken in the future will be greater than the benefits accrued in the future.

The outstanding amounts of payroll tax, workers’ compensation insurance premiums and fringe benefits tax, which are consequential to employment, are recognised as liabilities and expenses where the employee benefits to which they relate have been recognised.

All employees receive the Superannuation Guarantee Levy contribution. All superannuation benefits are provided on an accumulation basis – there are no defined benefits. Contributions are made by the entity to an employee superannuation fund and are charged as an expense when incurred.

iii. Provision for Make Good Provisions include the Council’s proportionate liability (allocated to the Council using an

appropriate allocation method) of the estimated make good liability, discounted to today’s present value.

m. Equity Accumulated Funds

The category ‘Accumulated Funds’ includes all current and prior period funds.

n. Comparative information Except when an Australian Accounting Standard permits or requires otherwise, comparative

information is disclosed in respect of the previous period for all amounts reported in the financial statements.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 434

Osteopathy Council of NSW

o. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalent assets in the statement of financial position would normally

comprise cash on hand, cash at bank and short-term deposits and include deposits in the NSW Treasury Corporation’s Hour-Glass cash facility, other Treasury Corporation deposits (less than 90 days) and other at-call deposits that are not quoted in the active market.

Bank overdrafts are included within liabilities.

p. Adoption of New and Revised Accounting Standards A number of new standards were applied from 1 July 2014, including AASB 10 Consolidated

Financial Statements and AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. The application of these new standards did not have a significant impact on the financial statements.

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 July 2015, and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. None of these are expected to have a significant effect on the financial statements of the Council.

NSW Treasury issued TC15/03 circular which states none of the new revised Standards of Interpretations are to be adopted early.

The standards that are relevant to the Council are as follows:

a) AASB 9, AASB 2010-7 and AASB Financial Instruments 2012-6 regarding financial instruments (2015/2016)

b) AASB 2014-4 regarding acceptable methods of depreciation and amortisation

13. PROVISIONS (continued)

The HPCA on behalf of Councils recognised a lease make good provision on entering into lease arrangements for Level 6, 477 Pitt Street. The provision was first included in the financial statements for 30 June 2011 and was based on a market-based estimate of the cost per square metre to make good the areas of the Pitt Street building that the HPCA occupies at the end of the lease.

As required under paragraph 59 of AASB 137, provisions are required to be reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate of the provision. The HPCA has recalculated the estimated lease make good provision as at 30 June 2015, taking into account the updated discount rate and inflation rates that are required under TC 11/17 and an updated estimate of the cost per square metre to make good the leased areas.

The impact of the changes to the three inputs to the overall lease make good provision has been to increase the required provision as at 30 June 2015.

The lease arrangements for the Pitt Street building will expire in November 2016.

The Council’s principal financial instruments are outlined below. These financial instruments arise directly from the entity’s operations or are required to finance the Council’s operations. The Council’s main risks arising from financial instruments are outlined below, together with the Council’s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk. Further quantitative and qualitative disclosures are included throughout the financial statements.

The Council has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of risk management and reviews and agrees on policies for managing each of these risks.

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 447

Osteopathy Council of NSW

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

b. Credit Risk

Credit risk arises when there is the possibility of the Council’s debtors defaulting on their contractual obligations, resulting in a financial loss to the Council. The maximum exposure to credit risk is generally represented by the carrying amount of the financial assets (net of any allowance for impairment).

Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the Council, including cash, receivables, and authority deposits. No collateral is held by the Council. The Council has not granted any financial guarantees.

Cash Cash comprises cash on hand and bank balances held by the Council and the HPCA on behalf of the Council. Interest is earned on the daily bank balances.

Receivables - Trade Debtors All trade debtors are recognised as amounts receivable at balance date. Collectability of trade debtors is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. An allowance for impairment is raised when there is objective evidence that the entity will not be able to collect all amounts due. This evidence includes past experience, and current and expected changes in economic conditions and debtor credit ratings. No interest is earned on trade debtors. The Council is materially exposed to concentrations of credit risk to a single trade debtor or group of debtors. This is somewhat mitigated by an agreed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between HPCA and AHPRA on behalf of the Councils and payment of debt in a timely manner.

c. Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Council will be unable to meet its payment obligations when they fall due. The HPCA on behalf of the Council continuously manages risk through monitoring future cash flows and maturities planning to ensure adequate holding of high quality liquid assets.

The liabilities are recognised for amounts due to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether or not invoiced. Amounts owing to suppliers (which are unsecured) are settled in accordance with the policy set out in Treasurer’s Direction 219.01. If trade terms are not specified, payment is made no later than the end of the month following the month in which an invoice or a statement is received. Treasurer’s Direction 219.01 allows the Minister to award interest for late payment.

All payables are current and will not attract interest payments.

d. Market Risk The Council does not have exposure to market risk on financial instruments.

e. Interest Rate Risk The Council has minimal exposure to interest rate risk from its holdings in interest bearing

financial assets. The Council has an arrangement with the Westpac Bank where all cash and cash equivalents are sitting in an interest bearing bank account earning the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) Cash Rate + basis points margin. The Council does not account for any fixed rate financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss or as available-for-sale. A reasonably possible change of +/- 1% is used, consistent with current trends in interest rates. The basis will be reviewed annually and amended where there is a structural change in the level of interest rate volatility. The RBA Cash Rate has decreased over the year as follows - June 30 2014 - 2.5% to June 30 2015 - 2.0%.

Pharmacy Council of NSW

Notes to the Financial Statements 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. Reporting Entity The Pharmacy Council of New South Wales (the Council) as a not-for-profit reporting entity

with no cash generating units, performs the duties and functions contained in the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law (NSW) No 86a (the Law).

These financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2015 have been authorised for issue by the Council on 15 October 2015.

b. Basis of Preparation The Council has adopted the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial statements.

The Council’s financial statements are general purpose financial statements and have been prepared in accordance with:

• applicable Australian Accounting Standards (which include Australian Accounting Interpretations), and

• the requirements of the Public Finance and Audit Act 1983 and Regulation.

The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost.

Judgements, key assumptions and estimations management has made are disclosed in the relevant notes to the financial statements.

All amounts are rounded to the nearest dollar and are expressed in Australian currency.

c. Statement of Compliance The financial statements and notes comply with Australian Accounting Standards, which

include Australian Accounting Interpretations.

d. Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions The agreed cost sharing arrangements for the distribution of pooled costs between Health

Professional Councils were introduced effective 1 July 2012 other than a revision to the allocation of indirect personnel services to Councils.

These indirect costs are shown as part of the Council’s statement of comprehensive income under the following expense line items:

1. Personnel services 2. Rent and building expenses 3. Contracted labour 4. Depreciation and Amortisation 5. Postage and Communication 6. Printing and Stationery

e. Insurance The Council’s insurance activities are conducted through the NSW Treasury Managed Fund

Scheme of self-insurance for Government entities. The expense (premium) is determined by the Fund Manager based on past claim experience.

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 457

Pharmacy Council of NSW

f. Accounting for the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Income, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except that:

• the amount of GST incurred by the Council as a purchaser that is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense, and

• receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. However, the GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Taxation Office are classified as operating cash flows.

g. Income Recognition Income is measured at the fair value of the consideration or contribution received or

receivable.

The National Registration and Accreditation Scheme (NRAS) for all health professionals commenced on 1 July 2010. NSW opted out of the complaint handling component of the National scheme and the health professional Councils were established in NSW effective from 1 July 2010 to manage the complaints function in a co-regulatory arrangement with the NSW Health Care Complaints Commission (HCCC).

Under s 26A of the Law, the complaints element of the registration fees payable by NSW health practitioners was decided by the Council established for that profession subject to approval by the Minister for Health.

The Council, under the Law, receives fees on a monthly basis from the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) being the agreed NSW complaints element for the 2015 registration fee.

Fees are progressively recognised as income by the Council as the annual registration period elapses. Fees in advance represent unearned income at balance date.

Other revenue comprises of monies received by the Pharmacy Council for the regulation of pharmacy businesses in NSW (as per the Law, Schedule 5F). This includes fees for annual registration of pharmacy premises, new or varied applications for pharmacy businesses and acquisition of pecuniary interest in pharmacy body corporate.

h. Personnel Services

In accordance with an agreed Memorandum of Understanding, the Ministry of Health (MOH) being the employer charges the Council for personnel services relating to the provision of all employees. Staff costs are shown in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as personnel services in the financial statements of the Council. Amounts owing for personnel services in the Statement of Financial Position represent amounts payable to the MOH in respect of personnel services.

i. Interest Revenue Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method as set out in AASB 139

Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.

j. Assets i. Acquisition of Assets

The cost method of accounting is used for the initial recording of all acquisitions of assets controlled by the Council. Cost is the amount of cash or cash equivalents paid or the fair value of the other consideration given to acquire the asset at the time of its acquisition or construction or, where applicable, the amount attributed to that asset when initially recognised in accordance with the requirements of other Australian Accounting Standards.

Assets acquired at no cost, or for nominal consideration, are initially recognised at their historical cost at the date of acquisition.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Where payment for an item is deferred beyond normal credit terms, its cost is the cash price equivalent, i.e. the deferred payment amount is effectively discounted at an asset-specific rate.

ii. Capitalisation Thresholds The Health Professional Councils Authority (HPCA) acquires all assets on behalf of the

Council. Shared use assets that cost over $5,000 at the time of purchase by the HPCA are capitalised. These capitalised shared use assets are then allocated to the Council using an appropriate allocation method. The minimum capitalisation threshold limits applied to the Council for the asset are $443 (2013/2014 - $449) (all Council shared use asset), or $693 (2013/2014 - $706) (Pitt Street shared use asset), whichever is applicable.

iii. Impairment of Plant and Equipment As a not-for-profit entity with no cash generating units, AASB 136 Impairment of Assets

effectively is not applicable. AASB 136 modifies the recoverable amount test to the higher of fair value less costs to sell and depreciated replacement cost. This means that, where an asset is already measured at fair value, impairment can only arise if selling costs are material. Selling costs for the entity are regarded as immaterial.

iv. Depreciation of Plant, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements Depreciation and amortisation is provided for on a straight-line basis for all depreciable assets

so as to write off the amounts of each asset as it is consumed over its useful life to the Council.

Depreciation and amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

Depreciation rates used are as follows:

Plant and equipment 20% - 25% Furniture and fittings 16% - 20% Motor vehicles 25% - 29% Leasehold improvements 17% - 27.8%

v. Fair Value of Plant and Equipment

There has been no revaluation on any of the Council’s plant and equipment as they are non-specialised assets. Non-specialised assets with short useful lives are measured at depreciated historical cost as a surrogate for fair value.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 459

Pharmacy Council of NSW

vi. Maintenance Day-to-day servicing costs or maintenance are charged as expenses as incurred, except

where they relate to the replacement of a component of an asset, in which case the costs are capitalised and depreciated.

vii. Intangible Assets The Council recognises intangible assets only if it is probable that future economic benefits

will flow to the entity and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Intangible assets are measured initially at cost. Where an asset is acquired at no or nominal cost, the cost is its fair value as at the date of acquisition.

All research costs are expensed. Development costs are only capitalised when certain criteria are met.

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be finite.

Intangible assets are subsequently measured at fair value only if there is an active market. As there is no active market for the entity’s intangible assets, the assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation.

Intangible assets are tested for impairment where an indicator of impairment exists. If the recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to recoverable amount and the reduction is recognised as an impairment loss.

The Council’s intangible assets are amortised using the straight line method over a period of four years. In general, intangible assets are tested for impairment where an indicator of impairment exists. However, as a not-for-profit entity with no cash generating units, the Council is effectively exempted from impairment testing.

viii. Loans and Receivables Loans and receivables are recognised initially at fair value, usually based on the transaction

cost or face value. Subsequent measurement is at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less an allowance for any impairment of receivables. Short-term receivables with no stated interest rate are measured at the original invoice amount where the effect of discounting is immaterial. An allowance for impairment of receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Council will not be able to collect all amounts due. The amount of the allowance is the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. Bad debts are written off with approval of the Council as incurred.

Pharmacy Council of NSW

k. Liabilities i. Trade and Other Payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Council and other amounts. Payables are recognised initially at fair value, usually based on the transaction cost or face value. Short-term payables with no stated interest rates are measured at the original invoice amount where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

ii. Personnel Services – Ministry of Health In accordance with an agreed Memorandum of Understanding, personnel services are

acquired from the MOH. As such the MOH accounting policy is below.

Liabilities for salaries and wages (including non-monetary benefits), recreation leave and paid sick leave that are due to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the service are recognised and measured in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date at undiscounted amounts based on the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

In accordance with NSWTC 15/09 ‘Accounting for Long Service Leave and Annual Leave’, the Council’s annual leave has been assessed as a short-term liability as these short-term benefits are expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employee renders the related services.

Unused non-vesting sick leave does not give rise to a liability as it is not considered probable that sick leave taken in the future will be greater than the benefits accrued in the future.

The outstanding amounts of payroll tax, workers’ compensation insurance premiums and fringe benefits tax, which are consequential to employment, are recognised as liabilities and expenses where the employee benefits to which they relate have been recognised.

All employees receive the Superannuation Guarantee Levy contribution. All superannuation benefits are provided on an accumulation basis – there are no defined benefits. Contributions are made by the entity to an employee superannuation fund and are charged as an expense when incurred.

iii. Provision for Make Good Provisions include the Council’s proportionate liability (allocated to the Council using an

appropriate allocation method) of the estimated make good liability, discounted to today’s present value.

l. Equity Accumulated Funds

The category ‘Accumulated Funds’ includes all current and prior period funds.

m. Comparative information Except when an Australian Accounting Standard permits or requires otherwise, comparative

information is disclosed in respect of the previous period for all amounts reported in the financial statements.

n. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalent assets in the statement of financial position would normally

comprise cash on hand, cash at bank and short-term deposits and include deposits in the NSW Treasury Corporation’s Hour-Glass cash facility, other Treasury Corporation deposits (less than 90 days) and other at-call deposits that are not quoted in the active market.

Bank overdrafts are included within liabilities.

o. Adoption of New and Revised Accounting Standards A number of new standards were applied from 1 July 2014, including AASB 10 Consolidated

Financial Statements and AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. The application of these new standards did not have a significant impact on the financial statements.

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 July 2015, and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. None of these are expected to have a significant effect on the financial statements of the Council.

NSW Treasury issued TC15/03 circular which states none of the new revised Standards of Interpretations are to be adopted early.

The standards that are relevant to the Council are as follows:

a) AASB 9, AASB 2010-7 and AASB Financial Instruments 2012-6 regarding financial instruments (2015/2016)

b) AASB 2014-4 regarding acceptable methods of depreciation and amortisation

13. PROVISIONS (continued)

The HPCA on behalf of Councils recognised a lease make good provision on entering into lease arrangements for Level 6, 477 Pitt Street. The provision was first included in the financial statements for 30 June 2011 and was based on a market-based estimate of the cost per square metre to make good the areas of the Pitt Street building that the HPCA occupies at the end of the lease.

As required under paragraph 59 of AASB 137, provisions are required to be reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate of the provision. The HPCA has recalculated the estimated lease make good provision as at 30 June 2015, taking into account the updated discount rate and inflation rates that are required under TC 11/17 and an updated estimate of the cost per square metre to make good the leased areas.

The impact of the changes to the three inputs to the overall lease make good provision has been to increase the required provision as at 30 June 2015.

The lease arrangements for the Pitt Street building will expire in November 2016.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

b. Credit Risk

Credit risk arises when there is the possibility of the Council’s debtors defaulting on their contractual obligations, resulting in a financial loss to the Council. The maximum exposure to credit risk is generally represented by the carrying amount of the financial assets (net of any allowance for impairment).

Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the Council, including cash, receivables, and authority deposits. No collateral is held by the Council. The Council has not granted any financial guarantees.

Cash Cash comprises cash on hand and bank balances held by the Council and the HPCA on behalf of the Council. Interest is earned on the daily bank balances.

Receivables - Trade Debtors All trade debtors are recognised as amounts receivable at balance date. Collectability of trade debtors is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. An allowance for impairment is raised when there is objective evidence that the entity will not be able to collect all amounts due. This evidence includes past experience, and current and expected changes in economic conditions and debtor credit ratings. No interest is earned on trade debtors. The Council is materially exposed to concentrations of credit risk to a single trade debtor or group of debtors. This is somewhat mitigated by an agreed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between HPCA and AHPRA on behalf of the Councils and payment of debt in a timely manner.

c. Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Council will be unable to meet its payment obligations when they fall due. The HPCA on behalf of the Council continuously manages risk through monitoring future cash flows and maturities planning to ensure adequate holding of high quality liquid assets.

The liabilities are recognised for amounts due to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether or not invoiced. Amounts owing to suppliers (which are unsecured) are settled in accordance with the policy set out in Treasurer’s Direction 219.01. If trade terms are not specified, payment is made no later than the end of the month following the month in which an invoice or a statement is received. Treasurer’s Direction 219.01 allows the Minister to award interest for late payment.

All payables are current and will not attract interest payments.

d. Market Risk The Council does not have exposure to market risk on financial instruments.

e. Interest Rate Risk The Council has minimal exposure to interest rate risk from its holdings in interest bearing

financial assets. The Council has an arrangement with the Westpac Bank where all cash and cash equivalents are sitting in an interest bearing bank account earning the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) Cash Rate + basis points margin. The Council does not account for any fixed rate financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss or as available-for-sale. A reasonably possible change of +/- 1% is used, consistent with current trends in interest rates. The basis will be reviewed annually and amended where there is a structural change in the level of interest rate volatility. The RBA Cash Rate has decreased over the year as follows - June 30 2014 - 2.5% to June 30 2015 - 2.0%.

Notes to the Financial Statements 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. Reporting Entity The Physiotherapy Council of New South Wales (the Council) as a not-for-profit reporting

entity with no cash generating units, performs the duties and functions contained in the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law (NSW) No 86a (the Law).

These financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2015 have been authorised for issue by the Council on 15 October 2015.

b. Basis of Preparation The Council has adopted the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial statements.

The Council’s financial statements are general purpose financial statements and have been prepared in accordance with:

• applicable Australian Accounting Standards (which include Australian Accounting Interpretations), and

• the requirements of the Public Finance and Audit Act 1983 and Regulation.

The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost.

Judgements, key assumptions and estimations management has made are disclosed in the relevant notes to the financial statements.

All amounts are rounded to the nearest dollar and are expressed in Australian currency.

c. Statement of Compliance The financial statements and notes comply with Australian Accounting Standards, which

include Australian Accounting Interpretations.

d. Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions The agreed cost sharing arrangements for the distribution of pooled costs between Health

Professional Councils were introduced effective 1 July 2012 other than a revision to the allocation of indirect personnel services to Councils.

During August 2014 the NSW Health Professional Councils agreed to waive and absorb the obligation by the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Practitioner Council of New South Wales for the allocation of indirect pooled costs effective 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2015.

During August 2014 the following NSW Health Professional Councils being Chiropractic Council of New South Wales, Occupational Therapy Council of New South Wales and Physiotherapy Council of New South Wales agreed to waive and absorb the obligation by the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Practitioner Council of New South Wales for the allocation of direct labour costs effective 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2015.

These indirect costs are shown as part of the Council’s statement of comprehensive income under the following expense line items:

1. Personnel services 2. Rent and building expenses 3. Contracted labour 4. Depreciation and Amortisation 5. Postage and Communication 6. Printing and Stationery

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 485

Physiotherapy Council of NSW

e. Insurance The Council’s insurance activities are conducted through the NSW Treasury Managed Fund

Scheme of self-insurance for Government entities. The expense (premium) is determined by the Fund Manager based on past claim experience.

f. Accounting for the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Income, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except that:

• the amount of GST incurred by the Council as a purchaser that is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense, and

• receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. However, the GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Taxation Office are classified as operating cash flows.

g. Income Recognition Income is measured at the fair value of the consideration or contribution received or

receivable.

The National Registration and Accreditation Scheme (NRAS) for all health professionals commenced on 1 July 2010. NSW opted out of the complaint handling component of the National scheme and the health professional Councils were established in NSW effective from 1 July 2010 to manage the complaints function in a co-regulatory arrangement with the NSW Health Care Complaints Commission (HCCC).

Under s 26A of the Law, the complaints element of the registration fees payable by NSW health practitioners was decided by the Council established for that profession subject to approval by the Minister for Health.

The Council, under the Law, receives fees on a monthly basis from the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) being the agreed NSW complaints element for the 2015 registration fee.

Fees are progressively recognised as income by the Council as the annual registration period elapses. Fees in advance represent unearned income at balance date.

h. Personnel Services In accordance with an agreed Memorandum of Understanding, the Ministry of Health (MOH)

being the employer charges the Council for personnel services relating to the provision of all employees. Staff costs are shown in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as personnel services in the financial statements of the Council. Amounts owing for personnel services in the Statement of Financial Position represent amounts payable to the MOH in respect of personnel services.

i. Interest Revenue Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method as set out in AASB 139

Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 486

Physiotherapy Council of NSW

j. Education and Research The Council is responsible for the administration of the Education and Research account. The

Minister for Health may determine that a set amount of funds out of the fees received to be transferred to the Education and Research account.

k. Assets i. Acquisition of Assets

The cost method of accounting is used for the initial recording of all acquisitions of assets controlled by the Council. Cost is the amount of cash or cash equivalents paid or the fair value of the other consideration given to acquire the asset at the time of its acquisition or construction or, where applicable, the amount attributed to that asset when initially recognised in accordance with the requirements of other Australian Accounting Standards.

Assets acquired at no cost, or for nominal consideration, are initially recognised at their historical cost at the date of acquisition.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Where payment for an item is deferred beyond normal credit terms, its cost is the cash price equivalent, i.e. the deferred payment amount is effectively discounted at an asset-specific rate.

ii. Capitalisation Thresholds The Health Professional Councils Authority (HPCA) acquires all assets on behalf of the

Council. Shared use assets that cost over $5,000 at the time of purchase by the HPCA are capitalised. These capitalised shared use assets are then allocated to the Council using an appropriate allocation method. The minimum capitalisation threshold limits applied to the Council for the asset are $95 (2013/2014 - $100) (all Council shared use asset), or $149 (2013/2014 - $157) (Pitt Street shared use asset), whichever is applicable.

iii. Impairment of Plant and Equipment As a not-for-profit entity with no cash generating units, AASB 136 Impairment of Assets

effectively is not applicable. AASB 136 modifies the recoverable amount test to the higher of fair value less costs to sell and depreciated replacement cost. This means that, where an asset is already measured at fair value, impairment can only arise if selling costs are material. Selling costs for the entity are regarded as immaterial.

iv. Depreciation of Plant, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements Depreciation and amortisation is provided for on a straight-line basis for all depreciable assets

so as to write off the amounts of each asset as it is consumed over its useful life to the Council.

Depreciation and amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

Depreciation rates used are as follows:

Plant and equipment 20% - 25% Furniture and fittings 16% - 20% Motor vehicles 25% - 29% Leasehold improvements 17% - 27.8%

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 487

Physiotherapy Council of NSW

v. Fair Value of Plant and Equipment

There has been no revaluation on any of the Council’s plant and equipment as they are non-specialised assets. Non-specialised assets with short useful lives are measured at depreciated historical cost as a surrogate for fair value.

vi. Maintenance Day-to-day servicing costs or maintenance are charged as expenses as incurred, except

where they relate to the replacement of a component of an asset, in which case the costs are capitalised and depreciated.

vii. Intangible Assets The Council recognises intangible assets only if it is probable that future economic benefits

will flow to the entity and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Intangible assets are measured initially at cost. Where an asset is acquired at no or nominal cost, the cost is its fair value as at the date of acquisition.

All research costs are expensed. Development costs are only capitalised when certain criteria are met.

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be finite.

Intangible assets are subsequently measured at fair value only if there is an active market. As there is no active market for the entity’s intangible assets, the assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation.

Intangible assets are tested for impairment where an indicator of impairment exists. If the recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to recoverable amount and the reduction is recognised as an impairment loss.

The Council’s intangible assets are amortised using the straight line method over a period of four years. In general, intangible assets are tested for impairment where an indicator of impairment exists. However, as a not-for-profit entity with no cash generating units, the Council is effectively exempted from impairment testing.

viii. Loans and Receivables Loans and receivables are recognised initially at fair value, usually based on the transaction

cost or face value. Subsequent measurement is at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less an allowance for any impairment of receivables. Short-term receivables with no stated interest rate are measured at the original invoice amount where the effect of discounting is immaterial. An allowance for impairment of receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Council will not be able to collect all amounts due. The amount of the allowance is the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. Bad debts are written off with approval of the Council as incurred.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 488

Physiotherapy Council of NSW

l. Liabilities i. Trade and Other Payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Council and other amounts. Payables are recognised initially at fair value, usually based on the transaction cost or face value. Short-term payables with no stated interest rates are measured at the original invoice amount where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

ii. Personnel Services – Ministry of Health In accordance with an agreed Memorandum of Understanding, personnel services are

acquired from the MOH. As such the MOH accounting policy is below.

Liabilities for salaries and wages (including non-monetary benefits), recreation leave and paid sick leave that are due to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the service are recognised and measured in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date at undiscounted amounts based on the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

In accordance with NSWTC 15/09 ‘Accounting for Long Service Leave and Annual Leave’, the Council’s annual leave has been assessed as a short-term liability as these short-term benefits are expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employee renders the related services.

Unused non-vesting sick leave does not give rise to a liability as it is not considered probable that sick leave taken in the future will be greater than the benefits accrued in the future.

The outstanding amounts of payroll tax, workers’ compensation insurance premiums and fringe benefits tax, which are consequential to employment, are recognised as liabilities and expenses where the employee benefits to which they relate have been recognised.

All employees receive the Superannuation Guarantee Levy contribution. All superannuation benefits are provided on an accumulation basis – there are no defined benefits. Contributions are made by the entity to an employee superannuation fund and are charged as an expense when incurred.

iii. Provision for Make Good Provisions include the Council’s proportionate liability (allocated to the Council using an

appropriate allocation method) of the estimated make good liability, discounted to today’s present value.

m. Equity Accumulated Funds

The category ‘Accumulated Funds’ includes all current and prior period funds.

n. Comparative information Except when an Australian Accounting Standard permits or requires otherwise, comparative

information is disclosed in respect of the previous period for all amounts reported in the financial statements.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 489

Physiotherapy Council of NSW

o. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalent assets in the statement of financial position would normally

comprise cash on hand, cash at bank and short-term deposits and include deposits in the NSW Treasury Corporation’s Hour-Glass cash facility, other Treasury Corporation deposits (less than 90 days) and other at-call deposits that are not quoted in the active market.

Bank overdrafts are included within liabilities.

p. Adoption of New and Revised Accounting Standards A number of new standards were applied from 1 July 2014, including AASB 10 Consolidated

Financial Statements and AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. The application of these new standards did not have a significant impact on the financial statements.

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 July 2015, and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. None of these are expected to have a significant effect on the financial statements of the Council.

NSW Treasury issued TC15/03 circular which states none of the new revised Standards of Interpretations are to be adopted early.

The standards that are relevant to the Council are as follows:

a) AASB 9, AASB 2010-7 and AASB Financial Instruments 2012-6 regarding financial instruments (2015/2016)

b) AASB 2014-4 regarding acceptable methods of depreciation and amortisation

13. PROVISIONS (continued)

The HPCA on behalf of Councils recognised a lease make good provision on entering into lease arrangements for Level 6, 477 Pitt Street. The provision was first included in the financial statements for 30 June 2011 and was based on a market-based estimate of the cost per square metre to make good the areas of the Pitt Street building that the HPCA occupies at the end of the lease.

As required under paragraph 59 of AASB 137, provisions are required to be reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate of the provision. The HPCA has recalculated the estimated lease make good provision as at 30 June 2015, taking into account the updated discount rate and inflation rates that are required under TC 11/17 and an updated estimate of the cost per square metre to make good the leased areas.

The impact of the changes to the three inputs to the overall lease make good provision has been to increase the required provision as at 30 June 2015.

The lease arrangements for the Pitt Street building will expire in November 2016.

The Council’s principal financial instruments are outlined below. These financial instruments arise directly from the entity’s operations or are required to finance the Council’s operations. The Council’s main risks arising from financial instruments are outlined below, together with the Council’s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk. Further quantitative and qualitative disclosures are included throughout the financial statements.

The Council has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of risk management and reviews and agrees on policies for managing each of these risks.

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 502

Physiotherapy Council of NSW

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

b. Credit Risk

Credit risk arises when there is the possibility of the Council’s debtors defaulting on their contractual obligations, resulting in a financial loss to the Council. The maximum exposure to credit risk is generally represented by the carrying amount of the financial assets (net of any allowance for impairment).

Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the Council, including cash, receivables, and authority deposits. No collateral is held by the Council. The Council has not granted any financial guarantees.

Cash Cash comprises cash on hand and bank balances held by the Council and the HPCA on behalf of the Council. Interest is earned on the daily bank balances.

Receivables - Trade Debtors All trade debtors are recognised as amounts receivable at balance date. Collectability of trade debtors is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. An allowance for impairment is raised when there is objective evidence that the entity will not be able to collect all amounts due. This evidence includes past experience, and current and expected changes in economic conditions and debtor credit ratings. No interest is earned on trade debtors. The Council is materially exposed to concentrations of credit risk to a single trade debtor or group of debtors. This is somewhat mitigated by an agreed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between HPCA and AHPRA on behalf of the Councils and payment of debt in a timely manner.

c. Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Council will be unable to meet its payment obligations when they fall due. The HPCA on behalf of the Council continuously manages risk through monitoring future cash flows and maturities planning to ensure adequate holding of high quality liquid assets.

The liabilities are recognised for amounts due to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether or not invoiced. Amounts owing to suppliers (which are unsecured) are settled in accordance with the policy set out in Treasurer’s Direction 219.01. If trade terms are not specified, payment is made no later than the end of the month following the month in which an invoice or a statement is received. Treasurer’s Direction 219.01 allows the Minister to award interest for late payment.

All payables are current and will not attract interest payments.

d. Market Risk The Council does not have exposure to market risk on financial instruments.

e. Interest Rate Risk The Council has minimal exposure to interest rate risk from its holdings in interest bearing

financial assets. The Council has an arrangement with the Westpac Bank where all cash and cash equivalents are sitting in an interest bearing bank account earning the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) Cash Rate + basis points margin. The Council does not account for any fixed rate financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss or as available-for-sale. A reasonably possible change of +/- 1% is used, consistent with current trends in interest rates. The basis will be reviewed annually and amended where there is a structural change in the level of interest rate volatility. The RBA Cash Rate has decreased over the year as follows - June 30 2014 - 2.5% to June 30 2015 - 2.0%.

Podiatry Council of NSW

Notes to the Financial Statements 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. Reporting Entity The Podiatry Council of New South Wales (the Council) as a not-for-profit reporting entity

with no cash generating units, performs the duties and functions contained in the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law (NSW) No 86a (the Law).

These financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2015 have been authorised for issue by the Council on 15 October 2015.

b. Basis of Preparation The Council has adopted the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial statements.

The Council’s financial statements are general purpose financial statements and have been prepared in accordance with:

• applicable Australian Accounting Standards (which include Australian Accounting Interpretations), and

• the requirements of the Public Finance and Audit Act 1983 and Regulation.

The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost.

Judgements, key assumptions and estimations management has made are disclosed in the relevant notes to the financial statements.

All amounts are rounded to the nearest dollar and are expressed in Australian currency.

c. Statement of Compliance The financial statements and notes comply with Australian Accounting Standards, which

include Australian Accounting Interpretations.

d. Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions The agreed cost sharing arrangements for the distribution of pooled costs between Health

Professional Councils were introduced effective 1 July 2012 other than a revision to the allocation of indirect personnel services to Councils.

These indirect costs are shown as part of the Council’s statement of comprehensive income under the following expense line items:

1. Personnel services 2. Rent and building expenses 3. Contracted labour 4. Depreciation and Amortisation 5. Postage and Communication 6. Printing and Stationery

e. Insurance The Council’s insurance activities are conducted through the NSW Treasury Managed Fund

Scheme of self-insurance for Government entities. The expense (premium) is determined by the Fund Manager based on past claim experience.

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 512

Podiatry Council of NSW

f. Accounting for the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Income, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except that:

• the amount of GST incurred by the Council as a purchaser that is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense, and

• receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. However, the GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Taxation Office are classified as operating cash flows.

g. Income Recognition Income is measured at the fair value of the consideration or contribution received or

receivable.

The National Registration and Accreditation Scheme (NRAS) for all health professionals commenced on 1 July 2010. NSW opted out of the complaint handling component of the National scheme and the health professional Councils were established in NSW effective from 1 July 2010 to manage the complaints function in a co-regulatory arrangement with the NSW Health Care Complaints Commission (HCCC).

Under s 26A of the Law, the complaints element of the registration fees payable by NSW health practitioners was decided by the Council established for that profession subject to approval by the Minister for Health.

The Council, under the Law, receives fees on a monthly basis from the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) being the agreed NSW complaints element for the 2015 registration fee.

Fees are progressively recognised as income by the Council as the annual registration period elapses. Fees in advance represent unearned income at balance date.

h. Personnel Services

In accordance with an agreed Memorandum of Understanding, the Ministry of Health (MOH) being the employer charges the Council for personnel services relating to the provision of all employees. Staff costs are shown in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as personnel services in the financial statements of the Council. Amounts owing for personnel services in the Statement of Financial Position represent amounts payable to the MOH in respect of personnel services.

i. Interest Revenue Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method as set out in AASB 139

Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 513

Podiatry Council of NSW

j. Education and Research The Council is responsible for the administration of the Education and Research account.

The Minister for Health may determine that a set amount of funds out of the fees received to be transferred to the Education and Research account.

k. Assets i. Acquisition of Assets

The cost method of accounting is used for the initial recording of all acquisitions of assets controlled by the Council. Cost is the amount of cash or cash equivalents paid or the fair value of the other consideration given to acquire the asset at the time of its acquisition or construction or, where applicable, the amount attributed to that asset when initially recognised in accordance with the requirements of other Australian Accounting Standards.

Assets acquired at no cost, or for nominal consideration, are initially recognised at their historical cost at the date of acquisition.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Where payment for an item is deferred beyond normal credit terms, its cost is the cash price equivalent, i.e. the deferred payment amount is effectively discounted at an asset-specific rate.

ii. Capitalisation Thresholds The Health Professional Councils Authority (HPCA) acquires all assets on behalf of the

Council. Shared use assets that cost over $5,000 at the time of purchase by the HPCA are capitalised. These capitalised shared use assets are then allocated to the Council using an appropriate allocation method. The minimum capitalisation threshold limits applied to the Council for the asset are $42 (2013/2014 - $47) (all Council shared use asset), or $66 (2013/2014 - $74) (Pitt Street shared use asset), whichever is applicable.

iii. Impairment of Plant and Equipment As a not-for-profit entity with no cash generating units, AASB 136 Impairment of Assets

effectively is not applicable. AASB 136 modifies the recoverable amount test to the higher of fair value less costs to sell and depreciated replacement cost. This means that, where an asset is already measured at fair value, impairment can only arise if selling costs are material. Selling costs for the entity are regarded as immaterial.

iv. Depreciation of Plant, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements Depreciation and amortisation is provided for on a straight-line basis for all depreciable assets

so as to write off the amounts of each asset as it is consumed over its useful life to the Council.

Depreciation and amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

Depreciation rates used are as follows:

Plant and equipment 20% - 25% Furniture and fittings 16% - 20% Motor vehicles 25% - 29% Leasehold improvements 17% - 27.8%

Podiatry Council of NSW

v. Fair Value of Plant and Equipment

There has been no revaluation on any of the Council’s plant and equipment as they are non-specialised assets. Non-specialised assets with short useful lives are measured at depreciated historical cost as a surrogate for fair value.

vi. Maintenance Day-to-day servicing costs or maintenance are charged as expenses as incurred, except

where they relate to the replacement of a component of an asset, in which case the costs are capitalised and depreciated.

vii. Intangible Assets The Council recognises intangible assets only if it is probable that future economic benefits

will flow to the entity and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Intangible assets are measured initially at cost. Where an asset is acquired at no or nominal cost, the cost is its fair value as at the date of acquisition.

All research costs are expensed. Development costs are only capitalised when certain criteria are met.

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be finite.

Intangible assets are subsequently measured at fair value only if there is an active market. As there is no active market for the entity’s intangible assets, the assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation.

Intangible assets are tested for impairment where an indicator of impairment exists. If the recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to recoverable amount and the reduction is recognised as an impairment loss.

The Council’s intangible assets are amortised using the straight line method over a period of four years. In general, intangible assets are tested for impairment where an indicator of impairment exists. However, as a not-for-profit entity with no cash generating units, the Council is effectively exempted from impairment testing.

viii. Loans and Receivables Loans and receivables are recognised initially at fair value, usually based on the transaction

cost or face value. Subsequent measurement is at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less an allowance for any impairment of receivables. Short-term receivables with no stated interest rate are measured at the original invoice amount where the effect of discounting is immaterial. An allowance for impairment of receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Council will not be able to collect all amounts due. The amount of the allowance is the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. Bad debts are written off with approval of the Council as incurred.

l. Liabilities i. Trade and Other Payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Council and other amounts. Payables are recognised initially at fair value, usually based on the transaction cost or face value. Short-term payables with no stated interest rates are measured at the original invoice amount where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

ii. Personnel Services – Ministry of Health In accordance with an agreed Memorandum of Understanding, personnel services are

acquired from the MOH. As such the MOH accounting policy is below.

Liabilities for salaries and wages (including non-monetary benefits), recreation leave and paid sick leave that are due to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the service are recognised and measured in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date at undiscounted amounts based on the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

In accordance with NSWTC 15/09 ‘Accounting for Long Service Leave and Annual Leave’, the Council’s annual leave has been assessed as a short-term liability as these short-term benefits are expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employee renders the related services.

Unused non-vesting sick leave does not give rise to a liability as it is not considered probable that sick leave taken in the future will be greater than the benefits accrued in the future.

The outstanding amounts of payroll tax, workers’ compensation insurance premiums and fringe benefits tax, which are consequential to employment, are recognised as liabilities and expenses where the employee benefits to which they relate have been recognised.

All employees receive the Superannuation Guarantee Levy contribution. All superannuation benefits are provided on an accumulation basis – there are no defined benefits. Contributions are made by the entity to an employee superannuation fund and are charged as an expense when incurred.

iii. Provision for Make Good Provisions include the Council’s proportionate liability (allocated to the Council using an

appropriate allocation method) of the estimated make good liability, discounted to today’s present value.

m. Equity Accumulated Funds

The category ‘Accumulated Funds’ includes all current and prior period funds.

n. Comparative information Except when an Australian Accounting Standard permits or requires otherwise, comparative

information is disclosed in respect of the previous period for all amounts reported in the financial statements.

o. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalent assets in the statement of financial position would normally

comprise cash on hand, cash at bank and short-term deposits and include deposits in the NSW Treasury Corporation’s Hour-Glass cash facility, other Treasury Corporation deposits (less than 90 days) and other at-call deposits that are not quoted in the active market.

Bank overdrafts are included within liabilities.

p. Adoption of New and Revised Accounting Standards A number of new standards were applied from 1 July 2014, including AASB 10 Consolidated

Financial Statements and AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. The application of these new standards did not have a significant impact on the financial statements.

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 July 2015, and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. None of these are expected to have a significant effect on the financial statements of the Council.

NSW Treasury issued TC15/03 circular which states none of the new revised Standards of Interpretations are to be adopted early.

The standards that are relevant to the Council are as follows:

a) AASB 9, AASB 2010-7 and AASB Financial Instruments 2012-6 regarding financial instruments (2015/2016)

b) AASB 2014-4 regarding acceptable methods of depreciation and amortisation

13. PROVISIONS (continued)

The HPCA on behalf of Councils recognised a lease make good provision on entering into lease arrangements for Level 6, 477 Pitt Street. The provision was first included in the financial statements for 30 June 2011 and was based on a market-based estimate of the cost per square metre to make good the areas of the Pitt Street building that the HPCA occupies at the end of the lease.

As required under paragraph 59 of AASB 137, provisions are required to be reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate of the provision. The HPCA has recalculated the estimated lease make good provision as at 30 June 2015, taking into account the updated discount rate and inflation rates that are required under TC 11/17 and an updated estimate of the cost per square metre to make good the leased areas.

The impact of the changes to the three inputs to the overall lease make good provision has been to increase the required provision as at 30 June 2015.

The lease arrangements for the Pitt Street building will expire in November 2016.

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 529

Podiatry Council of NSW

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

b. Credit Risk

Credit risk arises when there is the possibility of the Council’s debtors defaulting on their contractual obligations, resulting in a financial loss to the Council. The maximum exposure to credit risk is generally represented by the carrying amount of the financial assets (net of any allowance for impairment).

Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the Council, including cash, receivables, and authority deposits. No collateral is held by the Council. The Council has not granted any financial guarantees.

Cash Cash comprises cash on hand and bank balances held by the Council and the HPCA on behalf of the Council. Interest is earned on the daily bank balances.

Receivables - Trade Debtors All trade debtors are recognised as amounts receivable at balance date. Collectability of trade debtors is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. An allowance for impairment is raised when there is objective evidence that the entity will not be able to collect all amounts due. This evidence includes past experience, and current and expected changes in economic conditions and debtor credit ratings. No interest is earned on trade debtors. The Council is materially exposed to concentrations of credit risk to a single trade debtor or group of debtors. This is somewhat mitigated by an agreed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between HPCA and AHPRA on behalf of the Councils and payment of debt in a timely manner.

c. Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Council will be unable to meet its payment obligations when they fall due. The HPCA on behalf of the Council continuously manages risk through monitoring future cash flows and maturities planning to ensure adequate holding of high quality liquid assets.

The liabilities are recognised for amounts due to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether or not invoiced. Amounts owing to suppliers (which are unsecured) are settled in accordance with the policy set out in Treasurer’s Direction 219.01. If trade terms are not specified, payment is made no later than the end of the month following the month in which an invoice or a statement is received. Treasurer’s Direction 219.01 allows the Minister to award interest for late payment.

All payables are current and will not attract interest payments.

d. Market Risk The Council does not have exposure to market risk on financial instruments.

e. Interest Rate Risk The Council has minimal exposure to interest rate risk from its holdings in interest bearing

financial assets. The Council has an arrangement with the Westpac Bank where all cash and cash equivalents are sitting in an interest bearing bank account earning the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) Cash Rate + basis points margin. The Council does not account for any fixed rate financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss or as available-for-sale. A reasonably possible change of +/- 1% is used, consistent with current trends in interest rates. The basis will be reviewed annually and amended where there is a structural change in the level of interest rate volatility. The RBA Cash Rate has decreased over the year as follows - June 30 2014 - 2.5% to June 30 2015 - 2.0%.

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 538

Psychology Council of NSW

Notes to the Financial Statements 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. Reporting Entity The Psychology Council of New South Wales (the Council) as a not-for-profit reporting entity

with no cash generating units, performs the duties and functions contained in the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law (NSW) No 86a (the Law).

These financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2015 have been authorised for issue by the Council on 15 October 2015.

b. Basis of Preparation The Council has adopted the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial statements.

The Council’s financial statements are general purpose financial statements and have been prepared in accordance with:

• applicable Australian Accounting Standards (which include Australian Accounting Interpretations), and

• the requirements of the Public Finance and Audit Act 1983 and Regulation.

The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost.

Judgements, key assumptions and estimations management has made are disclosed in the relevant notes to the financial statements.

All amounts are rounded to the nearest dollar and are expressed in Australian currency.

c. Statement of Compliance The financial statements and notes comply with Australian Accounting Standards, which

include Australian Accounting Interpretations.

d. Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions The agreed cost sharing arrangements for the distribution of pooled costs between Health

Professional Councils were introduced effective 1 July 2012 other than a revision to the allocation of indirect personnel services to Councils.

These indirect costs are shown as part of the Council’s statement of comprehensive income under the following expense line items:

1. Personnel services 2. Rent and building expenses 3. Contracted labour 4. Depreciation and Amortisation 5. Postage and Communication 6. Printing and Stationery

e. Insurance The Council’s insurance activities are conducted through the NSW Treasury Managed Fund

Scheme of self-insurance for Government entities. The expense (premium) is determined by the Fund Manager based on past claim experience.

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 539

Psychology Council of NSW

f. Accounting for the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Income, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except that:

• the amount of GST incurred by the Council as a purchaser that is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense, and

• receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. However, the GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Taxation Office are classified as operating cash flows.

g. Income Recognition Income is measured at the fair value of the consideration or contribution received or

receivable.

The National Registration and Accreditation Scheme (NRAS) for all health professionals commenced on 1 July 2010. NSW opted out of the complaint handling component of the National scheme and the health professional Councils were established in NSW effective from 1 July 2010 to manage the complaints function in a co-regulatory arrangement with the NSW Health Care Complaints Commission (HCCC).

Under s 26A of the Law, the complaints element of the registration fees payable by NSW health practitioners was decided by the Council established for that profession subject to approval by the Minister for Health.

The Council, under the Law, receives fees on a monthly basis from the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) being the agreed NSW complaints element for the 2015 registration fee.

Fees are progressively recognised as income by the Council as the annual registration period elapses. Fees in advance represent unearned income at balance date.

h. Personnel Services

In accordance with an agreed Memorandum of Understanding, the Ministry of Health (MOH) being the employer charges the Council for personnel services relating to the provision of all employees. Staff costs are shown in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as personnel services in the financial statements of the Council. Amounts owing for personnel services in the Statement of Financial Position represent amounts payable to the MOH in respect of personnel services.

i. Interest Revenue Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method as set out in AASB 139

Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 540

Psychology Council of NSW

j. Education and Research The Council is responsible for the administration of the Education and Research account.

The Minister for Health may determine that a set amount of funds out of the fees received to be transferred to the Education and Research account.

k. Assets i. Acquisition of Assets

The cost method of accounting is used for the initial recording of all acquisitions of assets controlled by the Council. Cost is the amount of cash or cash equivalents paid or the fair value of the other consideration given to acquire the asset at the time of its acquisition or construction or, where applicable, the amount attributed to that asset when initially recognised in accordance with the requirements of other Australian Accounting Standards.

Assets acquired at no cost, or for nominal consideration, are initially recognised at their historical cost at the date of acquisition.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Where payment for an item is deferred beyond normal credit terms, its cost is the cash price equivalent, i.e. the deferred payment amount is effectively discounted at an asset-specific rate.

ii. Capitalisation Thresholds The Health Professional Councils Authority (HPCA) acquires all assets on behalf of the

Council. Shared use assets that cost over $5,000 at the time of purchase by the HPCA are capitalised. These capitalised shared use assets are then allocated to the Council using an appropriate allocation method. The minimum capitalisation threshold limits applied to the Council for the asset are $280 (2013/2014- $254) (all Council shared use asset), or $438 (2013/2014 - $399) (Pitt Street shared use asset), whichever is applicable.

iii. Impairment of Plant and Equipment As a not-for-profit entity with no cash generating units, AASB 136 Impairment of Assets

effectively is not applicable. AASB 136 modifies the recoverable amount test to the higher of fair value less costs to sell and depreciated replacement cost. This means that, where an asset is already measured at fair value, impairment can only arise if selling costs are material. Selling costs for the entity are regarded as immaterial.

iv. Depreciation of Plant, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements Depreciation and amortisation is provided for on a straight-line basis for all depreciable assets

so as to write off the amounts of each asset as it is consumed over its useful life to the Council.

Depreciation and amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

Depreciation rates used are as follows:

Plant and equipment 20% - 25% Furniture and fittings 16% - 20% Motor vehicles 25% - 29% Leasehold improvements 17% - 27.8%

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 541

Psychology Council of NSW

v. Fair Value of Plant and Equipment There has been no revaluation on any of the Council’s plant and equipment as they are

non-specialised assets. Non-specialised assets with short useful lives are measured at depreciated historical cost as a surrogate for fair value.

vi. Maintenance Day-to-day servicing costs or maintenance are charged as expenses as incurred, except

where they relate to the replacement of a component of an asset, in which case the costs are capitalised and depreciated.

vii. Intangible Assets The Council recognises intangible assets only if it is probable that future economic benefits

will flow to the entity and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Intangible assets are measured initially at cost. Where an asset is acquired at no or nominal cost, the cost is its fair value as at the date of acquisition.

All research costs are expensed. Development costs are only capitalised when certain criteria are met.

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be finite.

Intangible assets are subsequently measured at fair value only if there is an active market. As there is no active market for the entity’s intangible assets, the assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation.

Intangible assets are tested for impairment where an indicator of impairment exists. If the recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to recoverable amount and the reduction is recognised as an impairment loss.

The Council’s intangible assets are amortised using the straight line method over a period of four years. In general, intangible assets are tested for impairment where an indicator of impairment exists. However, as a not-for-profit entity with no cash generating units, the Council is effectively exempted from impairment testing.

viii. Loans and Receivables Loans and receivables are recognised initially at fair value, usually based on the transaction

cost or face value. Subsequent measurement is at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less an allowance for any impairment of receivables. Short-term receivables with no stated interest rate are measured at the original invoice amount where the effect of discounting is immaterial. An allowance for impairment of receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Council will not be able to collect all amounts due. The amount of the allowance is the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. Bad debts are written off with approval of the Council as incurred.

New South Wales Health Professional Councils Annual Report 2015 542

Psychology Council of NSW

l. Liabilities i. Trade and Other Payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Council and other amounts. Payables are recognised initially at fair value, usually based on the transaction cost or face value. Short-term payables with no stated interest rates are measured at the original invoice amount where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

ii. Personnel Services – Ministry of Health In accordance with an agreed Memorandum of Understanding, personnel services are

acquired from the MOH. As such the MOH accounting policy is below.

Liabilities for salaries and wages (including non-monetary benefits), recreation leave and paid sick leave that are due to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the service are recognised and measured in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date at undiscounted amounts based on the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

In accordance with NSWTC 15/09 ‘Accounting for Long Service Leave and Annual Leave’, the Council’s annual leave has been assessed as a short-term liability as these short-term benefits are expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employee renders the related services.

Unused non-vesting sick leave does not give rise to a liability as it is not considered probable that sick leave taken in the future will be greater than the benefits accrued in the future.

The outstanding amounts of payroll tax, workers’ compensation insurance premiums and fringe benefits tax, which are consequential to employment, are recognised as liabilities and expenses where the employee benefits to which they relate have been recognised.

All employees receive the Superannuation Guarantee Levy contribution. All superannuation benefits are provided on an accumulation basis – there are no defined benefits. Contributions are made by the entity to an employee superannuation fund and are charged as an expense when incurred.

iii. Provision for Make Good Provisions include the Council’s proportionate liability (allocated to the Council using an

appropriate allocation method) of the estimated make good liability, discounted to today’s present value.

m. Equity Accumulated Funds

The category ‘Accumulated Funds’ includes all current and prior period funds.

n. Comparative information Except when an Australian Accounting Standard permits or requires otherwise, comparative

information is disclosed in respect of the previous period for all amounts reported in the financial statements.

o. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalent assets in the statement of financial position would normally

comprise cash on hand, cash at bank and short-term deposits and include deposits in the NSW Treasury Corporation’s Hour-Glass cash facility, other Treasury Corporation deposits (less than 90 days) and other at-call deposits that are not quoted in the active market.

Bank overdrafts are included within liabilities.

p. Adoption of New and Revised Accounting Standards A number of new standards were applied from 1 July 2014, including AASB 10 Consolidated

Financial Statements and AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. The application of these new standards did not have a significant impact on the financial statements.

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 July 2015, and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. None of these are expected to have a significant effect on the financial statements of the Council.

NSW Treasury issued TC15/03 circular which states none of the new revised Standards of Interpretations are to be adopted early.

The standards that are relevant to the Council are as follows:

a) AASB 9, AASB 2010-7 and AASB Financial Instruments 2012-6 regarding financial instruments (2015/2016)

b) AASB 2014-4 regarding acceptable methods of depreciation and amortisation

13. PROVISIONS (continued)

The HPCA on behalf of Councils recognised a lease make good provision on entering into lease arrangements for Level 6, 477 Pitt Street. The provision was first included in the financial statements for 30 June 2013 and was based on a market-based estimate of the cost per square metre to make good the areas of the Pitt Street building that the HPCA occupies at the end of the lease.

As required under paragraph 59 of AASB 137, provisions are required to be reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate of the provision. The HPCA has recalculated the estimated lease make good provision as at 30 June 2015, taking into account the updated discount rate and inflation rates that are required under TC 11/17 and an updated estimate of the cost per square metre to make good the leased areas.

The impact of the changes to the three inputs to the overall lease make good provision has been to increase the required provision as at 30 June 2015.

The lease arrangements for the Pitt Street building will expire in November 2016.

18. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Council’s principal financial instruments are outlined below. These financial instruments arise directly from the entity’s operations or are required to finance the Council’s operations. The Council’s main risks arising from financial instruments are outlined below, together with the Council’s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk. Further quantitative and qualitative disclosures are included throughout the financial statements.

The Council has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of risk management and reviews and agrees on policies for managing each of these risks.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

b. Credit Risk

Credit risk arises when there is the possibility of the Council’s debtors defaulting on their contractual obligations, resulting in a financial loss to the Council. The maximum exposure to credit risk is generally represented by the carrying amount of the financial assets (net of any allowance for impairment).

Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the Council, including cash, receivables, and authority deposits. No collateral is held by the Council. The Council has not granted any financial guarantees.

Cash Cash comprises cash on hand and bank balances held by the Council and the HPCA on behalf of the Council. Interest is earned on the daily bank balances.

Receivables - Trade Debtors All trade debtors are recognised as amounts receivable at balance date. Collectability of trade debtors is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. An allowance for impairment is raised when there is objective evidence that the entity will not be able to collect all amounts due. This evidence includes past experience, and current and expected changes in economic conditions and debtor credit ratings. No interest is earned on trade debtors. The Council is materially exposed to concentrations of credit risk to a single trade debtor or group of debtors. This is somewhat mitigated by an agreed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between HPCA and AHPRA on behalf of the Councils and payment of debt in a timely manner.

c. Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Council will be unable to meet its payment obligations when they fall due. The HPCA on behalf of the Council continuously manages risk through monitoring future cash flows and maturities planning to ensure adequate holding of high quality liquid assets.

The liabilities are recognised for amounts due to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether or not invoiced. Amounts owing to suppliers (which are unsecured) are settled in accordance with the policy set out in Treasurer’s Direction 219.01. If trade terms are not specified, payment is made no later than the end of the month following the month in which an invoice or a statement is received. Treasurer’s Direction 219.01 allows the Minister to award interest for late payment.

All payables are current and will not attract interest payments.

d. Market Risk The Council does not have exposure to market risk on financial instruments.

e. Interest Rate Risk The Council has minimal exposure to interest rate risk from its holdings in interest bearing

financial assets. The Council has an arrangement with the Westpac Bank where all cash and cash equivalents are sitting in an interest bearing bank account earning the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) Cash Rate + basis points margin. The Council does not account for any fixed rate financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss or as available-for-sale. A reasonably possible change of +/- 1% is used, consistent with current trends in interest rates. The basis will be reviewed annually and amended where there is a structural change in the level of interest rate volatility. The RBA Cash Rate has decreased over the year as follows - June 30 2014 - 2.5% to June 30 2015 - 2.0%.

19. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD There are no events after the reporting period to be included in the financial statements as of
