Accounting Policy

Superannuation

The staff of the Army and Air Force Canteen Service are members of self-selected superannuation funds. The Army and Air Force Canteen Service makes employer contributions to the employees’ superannuation schemes at rates determined by legislation. The Army and Air Force Canteen Service accounts for the contributions as if they were contributions to defined contribution plans.

The liability for superannuation recognised as at 30 June represents outstanding contributions for the final month of the year. Refer to Note 7B.
