The ATSB Management ensured that the appropriate assessments were made for impairment, useful lives and the valuation of non-financial assets at 30 June 2021 | |||||
Revaluation of non-financial assets | |||||
All revaluations were conducted in accordance with the revaluation policy stated at Note 5.3. An independent valuer, Jones Lang LaSalle Public Sector Valuations Pty Ltd revalued all non-financial assets with effect at 30 June 2020. | |||||
Accounting Policy | |||||
Assets are recorded at cost on acquisition except as stated below. The cost of acquisition includes the fair value of assets transferred in exchange and liabilities undertaken. Financial assets are initially measured at their fair value plus transaction costs where appropriate. | |||||
Assets acquired at no cost, or for nominal consideration, are initially recognised as assets and income at their fair value at the date of acquisition, unless acquired as a consequence of restructuring of administrative arrangements. In the latter case, assets are initially recognised as contributions by owners at the amounts at which they were recognised in the transferor’s accounts immediately prior to the restructuring. | |||||
Asset Recognition Threshold | |||||
Purchases of property, plant and equipment are recognised initially at cost in the statement of financial position, except for purchases costing less than $5,000 excluding GST, which are expensed in the year of acquisition (other than where they form part of a group of similar items which are significant in total). | |||||
Leased Right of Use (ROU) Assets | |||||
Leased ROU assets are capitalised at the commencement date of the lease and comprise of the initial lease liability amount, initial direct costs incurred when entering into the lease less any lease incentives received. These assets are accounted for by Commonwealth lessees as separate asset classes to corresponding assets owned outright, but included in the same column as where the corresponding underlying assets would be presented if they were owned. | |||||
On initial adoption of AASB 16 the ATSB has adjusted the ROU assets at the date of initial application by the amount of any provision for onerous leases recognised immediately before the date of initial application. Following initial application, an impairment review is undertaken for any ROU lease asset that shows indicators of impairment and an impairment loss is recognised against any ROU asset that is impaired. Leased ROU assets continue to be measured at cost after initial recognition in Commonwealth agency, GGS and Whole of Government financial statements. | |||||
Revaluations | |||||
Following initial recognition at cost, property, plant and equipment (excluding ROU assets) are carried at fair value (or an amount not materially different from fair value) less subsequent accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Valuations are conducted with sufficient frequency to ensure that the carrying amounts of assets did not differ materially from the assets’ fair values as at the reporting date. The regularity of independent valuations depended upon the volatility of movements in market values for the relevant assets. | |||||
Revaluation adjustments are made on a class basis. Any revaluation increment is credited to equity under the heading of asset revaluation reserve except to the extent that it reversed a previous revaluation decrement of the same asset class that was previously recognised in the surplus/deficit. Revaluation decrements for a class of assets are recognised directly in the surplus/deficit except to the extent that they reversed a previous revaluation increment for that class. | |||||
Any accumulated depreciation as at the revaluation date is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the asset restated to the revalued amount. | |||||
Depreciation | |||||
Depreciable property, plant and equipment assets are written-off to their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives to the ATSB using, in all cases, the straight-line method of depreciation. | |||||
Depreciation rates (useful lives), residual values and methods are reviewed at each reporting date and necessary adjustments are recognised in the current, or current and future reporting periods, as appropriate. | |||||
Depreciation rates applying to each class of depreciable asset are based on the following useful lives: | |||||
Plant an equipment Computer equipment Office equipment Heritage and cultural | 2021 3 to 10 years 4 years 3 to 10 years 100 years | 2020 3 to 10 years 4 years 3 to 10 years 100 years | |||
The ATSB has items of property, plant and equipment that are heritage and cultural assets that have limited useful lives and are depreciated. | |||||
The depreciation rates for ROU assets are based on the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the ROU asset or the end of the lease term. | |||||
Impairment | |||||
All assets were assessed for impairment at 30 June 2021. | |||||
Where indications of impairment exist, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated and an impairment adjustment made if the asset’s recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount. | |||||
The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Value in use is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. Where the future economic benefit of an asset is not primarily dependent on the asset’s ability to generate future cash flows, and the asset would be replaced if the ATSB were deprived of the asset, its value in use is taken to be its depreciated replacement cost. | |||||
Derecognition | |||||
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. | |||||
Heritage and Cultural Assets | |||||
The ATSB has a Pegasus Mark II Propellor from a Supermarine Walrus aircraft. The Supermarine Walrus was a British single-engine amphibious biplane reconnaissance aircraft first flown in 1933. | |||||
The ATSB has classified this item as a heritage and cultural asset as its primary purpose relates to its heritage and cultural significance. | |||||
Intangibles | |||||
The ATSB's intangibles comprise of purchased software and internally developed software for internal use. These assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. | |||||
Software is amortised on a straight-line basis over its anticipated useful life. The useful lives of the ATSB's software is five years. | |||||
All software assets were assessed for indications of impairment as at 30 June 2021. | |||||
