Revenue Interest Revenue Under subsection 6(2) of the Natural Heritage Trust of Australia Act 1997, the Trust is entitled to receive interest income equal to the fixed-income percentage of the uninvested amount standing to the credit of the Trust’s Special Account as at the end of the financial year. For 2012-13, the fixed-income percentage is the percentage equal to the rate of interest earned by the Commonwealth as at the end of the financial year on deposits held with the Reserve Bank of Australia. The funds held in the Official Public Account constitute ‘uninvested funds’ and as such are subject to the interest income provision. The interest is also applicable to all funds held in the Trust’s bank account excluding unpresented cheques, together with cash on hand and unbanked money. Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method as set out in AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (Refer to Note 4A). Revenue from Government Under subsection 23 of the Natural Heritage Trust of Australia Act 1997, if another Act appropriates an amount from the Consolidated Revenue Fund for credit to the Trust’s Special Account, the amount is to be credited to the Special Account. In 2013, $149,017,000 (2012: $172,763,000) was credited to the Special Account from administered appropriations received by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities under Appropriation Act (No.1) 2012-2013.
Resources Received Free of Charge Resources received free of charge are recognised as gains when, and only when, a fair value can be reliably determined and the services would have been purchased if they had not been donated. Use of those resources is recognised as an expense. Resources received free of charge are recorded as either revenue or gains depending on their nature.
There were no transactions with the Government as owner during 2012-13 (2011-12: none).
Cash is recognised at its nominal amount. Cash and cash equivalents include:
The Trust classifies its financial assets as ‘loans and receivables’. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition. Financial assets are recognised and derecognised upon trade date.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset, or, where appropriate, a shorter period. Income is recognised on an effective interest rate basis except for financial assets that are recognised at fair value through profit or loss.
Trade receivables, loans and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as ‘loans and receivables’. Loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method less impairment. Interest is recognised by applying the effective interest rate. Impairment of Financial Assets Financial assets are assessed for impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets held at amortised cost - if there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred for loans and receivables held at amortised cost, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount is reduced by way of an allowance account. The loss is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
The Trust classifies its financial liabilities as ‘other financial liabilities’. Financial liabilities are recognised and derecognised upon trade date. Other Financial Liabilities Other financial liabilities, including borrowings, are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs. These liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognised on an effective yield basis. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period. Supplier and other payables are recognised at amortised cost. Liabilities are recognised to the extent that the goods or services have been received (and irrespective of having been invoiced).
Contingent liabilities and contingent assets are not recognised in the balance sheet but are reported in the relevant schedules and notes. They may arise from uncertainty as to the existence of a liability or asset or represent an asset or liability in respect of which the amount cannot be reliably measured. Contingent assets are disclosed when settlement is probable but not virtually certain and contingent liabilities are disclosed when settlement is greater than remote.
The Trust is exempt from all forms of taxation except Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) and the Goods and Services Tax (GST). Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of GST except:
Events After the Reporting Period There was no subsequent event that had the potential to significantly affect the ongoing structure and financial activities of the Trust. Expenses
