Two column accounting policies
To output accounting policies in two columns:
- Click Reports > Options > Styles
- Set Page settings - Two columns - accounting policies to Yes
When two columns is enabled, we recommend setting the total page margins to no more than 30mm as there is less space on the page due to the gap between column 1 and column 2. A setting of more than 30mm may result in the 2 columns overlapping.
First interim report
To show the full list of accounting policies for an Interim Report:
- Click Reports > Options > Setup
- Set Other - First interim report to On
Material accounting policy information (not applicable to FRS 102, FRS 102 / 1A, FRS 105 and IFRS for SME)
For periods commencing on or after 1 January 2023, entities are to disclose material accounting policy information. As what is 'material' is subjective and unique to the entity, the software does not assume any accounting policy should be turned off. All accounting policies should be reviewed and turned off if they are not considered material to the entity.
Include accounting policies in relevant note
To include accounting policies in the relevant note:
- Click Reports > Options > Setup
- Set Placement - Include accounting policies in relevant note to Yes
- The settings and assumptions outlined above for 'Include accounting policies in relevant note' may not suit your preference
- The alternative is to use the spare accounting policies and spare paragraphs within the relevant note to achieve the disclosure required

New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
As a rule, only the new Accounting Standards are listed. While we do not list all amended Standards, we may list those we consider significant. Paragraphs can be edited to disclose amended Standards where required.
If a new or amended Accounting Standard or Interpretation has been early adopted, replace the paragraph with:
The consolidated entity has early adopted IFRS XXX 'XXXX'. No other new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have been early adopted.
New Zealand
The company has adopted all the new or amended Standards and Interpretations that are relevant and effective for the current reporting period.
Any significant impact on the accounting policies of the company from the adoption of these accounting standards and interpretations are disclosed in the relevant accounting policy.
Going concern
- Insert a field in the required place
- Select the 'Going concern' table from the Source list
- Select the cell to insert as a field
- In practical terms, a current asset deficiency or net asset deficiency will raise a going concern issue
- However, in accordance with IAS 1 (25), when preparing financial statements, management shall make an assessment of an entity's ability to continue as a going concern. An entity shall prepare financial statements on a going concern basis unless management either intends to liquidate the entity or to cease trading, or has no realistic alternative but to do so
- When management is aware, in making its assessment, of material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt upon the entity's ability to continue as a going concern, the entity shall disclose those uncertainties
- When an entity does not prepare financial statements on a going concern basis, it shall disclose that fact, together with the basis on which it prepared the financial statements and the reason why the entity is not regarded as a going concern
At 31 December 2023 the consolidated entity had a net asset deficiency of $X,XXX,XXX, which included related party loans of $X,XXX,XXX. However, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as Computer Assistance Pty Limited, a commonly controlled entity, has pledged its continuing support for a minimum of 12 months from the date of issuing these financial statements.
See the Going concern topic for a range of examples.
Accounting period
The consolidated entity's current accounting period is the year ended 31 December 2023 and its comparative accounting period is from 1 September 2022 (date of incorporation) to 31 December 2022. Therefore, the results are not directly comparable.
Comparative information
- To ensure consistency with the current financial year, comparative information may have been reclassified to ensure comparability.
Basis of preparation
Special purpose (Australia only)
- If all the Accounting Standards are turned off, then the short-form paragraph will print stating the mandatory standards (AASB 101, 107, 108, 1031, 1048 and 1054) that has been complied with
Historical cost convention
Modify where applicable and if no assets are held at fair value state:
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Principles of consolidation
Reverse acquisition
Additional wording (modify where applicable):
When [PARENT NAME] (the legal parent and legal acquirer) acquired [SUBSIDIARY NAME] and its controlled entities (the legal subsidiary), it was a reverse acquisition for accounting purposes. The consolidated financial statements represent a continuation of the financial statements of the legal subsidiary as follows:
(i) the assets and liabilities of the legal subsidiary are recognised and measured in those consolidated financial statements at their pre-combination carrying amounts.
(ii) the retained profits and other equity balances recognised in the consolidated financial statements are the retained profits and other equity balances of the legal subsidiary immediately before the business combination.
(iii) the amount recognised as issued equity instruments in the consolidated financial statements is determined by adding to the issued equity of the legal subsidiary immediately before the business combination the cost of the combination. However, the equity structure appearing in the consolidated financial statements (i.e. the number and type of equity instruments issued) reflects the equity structure of the legal subsidiary, including the equity instruments issued by the legal subsidiary to effect the combination.
Consolidated financial statements prepared following a reverse acquisition reflect the fair values of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the legal parent (i.e. the acquiree for accounting purposes).
Group recapitalisation
Additional wording (modify where applicable):
When [PARENT NAME] (the legal parent and legal acquirer) acquired [SUBSIDIARY NAME] and its controlled entities (the legal subsidiary), the acquisition did not meet the definition of a business combination in accordance with IFRS 3 'Business Combinations'. Instead, the acquisition has been treated as a group recapitalisation, using the principles of reverse acquisition accounting in IFRS 3 'Business Combinations', since the substance of the transaction is that [SUBSIDIARY NAME] has effectively been recapitalised. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared as if [SUBSIDIARY NAME] had acquired [PARENT NAME] and its controlled entities, not vice versa as represented by the legal position. The recapitalisation is measured at the fair value of the equity instruments that would have been given by [SUBSIDIARY NAME] to have exactly the same percentage holding in the new structure based at the date of exchange.
Revenue recognition
Match the listed items to the categories in the revenue notes.
Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the goods, which is generally at the time of delivery.
Sale of goods
Sale of goods revenue is recognised at the point of sale, which is where the customer has taken delivery of the goods, the risks and rewards are transferred to the customer and there is a valid sales contract. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of sales returns and trade discounts.
Rendering of services
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised over time as the services are rendered based on either a fixed price or an hourly rate.
Rendering of services
Rendering of services revenue from computer maintenance fees is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contracts.
Stage of completion is measured by reference to labour hours incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated labour hours for each contract. Where the contract outcome cannot be reliably estimated, revenue is only recognised to the extent of the recoverable costs incurred to date.
Sale of copper and other metals
Sale of copper and other metals is recognised at the point of sale, which is where the customer has taken delivery of the goods, the risks and rewards are transferred to the customer and there is a valid sales contract. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of sales returns and trade discounts.
Dividends
Dividends revenue is recognised when received or when the right to receive payment is established.
Interest
Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.
Rent
Rent revenue from investment properties is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease incentives granted are recognised as part of the rental revenue. Contingent rentals are recognised as income in the period when earned.
Donations
Donations are recognised at the time the pledge is made.
Government grants
Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate.
Grants
Grant revenue is recognised in profit or loss when the company satisfies the performance obligations stated within the funding agreements.
If conditions are attached to the grant which must be satisfied before the company is eligible to retain the contribution, the grant will be recognised in the statement of financial position as a liability until those conditions are satisfied.
Subsidies and grants
Subsidies and grants are recognised as revenue over the period to which they relate.
Other revenue
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.
Volunteer services
The company has elected not to recognise volunteer services as either revenue or other form of contribution received. As such, any related consumption or capitalisation of such resources received is also not recognised.
Income tax
Modify tax consolidation wording where applicable. UIG1052(9) identifies the following 3 methods:
- Stand-alone taxpayer' approach
- Separate taxpayer within group' approach
- Group allocation' approach
Cash and cash equivalents
- Change the cash and cash equivalents accounting policy if applicable.
Trade and other receivables
- Change the number of days if applicable.
Inventories
- Match the listed items to the categories in the 'Inventories' note
- Change 'first in first out' to 'weighted average' or 'specific identification' if applicable
- Note that 'last in first out' is not permitted.
Additional wording:
including transfers from equity of qualifying cash flow hedges relating to purchased materials.
Property, plant and equipment
- Delete references to 'land and buildings' if not applicable.
- Valuations by external independent valuers, of land and buildings must occur at least every 5 years.
- In addition to the straight-line basis, other depreciation methods are diminishing balance and the units of production
- Match the listed items to the categories in the 'Property, plant and equipment' note.
- Check the depreciation back to last year's report
Intangible assets
- Match the listed items to the categories in the 'Intangibles' note
- Check the amortisation back to last year's report
Additional wording:
Software
An intangible asset arising from software development expenditure on an internal project is recognised only when the consolidated entity can demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale, its intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset, how the asset will generate future economic benefits, the availability of resources to complete the development and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development. Following the initial recognition of the software development expenditure, the cost model is applied requiring the asset to be carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Significant costs associated with software are deferred and amortised on a straight line basis over the period of their expected benefit, being their finite life of 5 years.
Non-compete contracts
Non-compete contracts acquired in a business combination are amortised on a straight line basis over the period of their expected benefit, being their finite life of 3 years.
Trade and other payables
- Change the number of days if applicable
Finance costs
- Change the finance costs accounting policy if applicable
Employee benefits - Other long-term employee benefits
- Change 'national government bonds' to 'corporate bonds' if applicable
New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted
- As a rule, only the new Accounting Standards are listed. While we do not list all amended Standards, we may list those we consider significant. Paragraphs can be edited to disclose amended Standards where required.
- If all the Accounting Standards are turned off, then the short-form paragraph will print stating the entity has not yet assessed the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations
