The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate at each balance date.
Assets are reviewed for indications of impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Any impairment loss or write-down is recognised in the Income Statement as an expense.
g) Employee Benefits
Provision is made for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, long service leave and sick leave when it is probable that settlement will be required and they are capable of being measured reliably.
Provisions made in respect of employee benefits expected to be settled within 12 months are measured at their nominal values using the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement.
Provisions made in respect of employee benefits which are not expected to be settled within 12 months are measured as the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the consolidated entity in respect of services provided by employees up to reporting date.
h) Capital
The Trust’s capital consists of equity and retained earnings. The Trust manages its capital by effectively managing income and expenses, assets and liabilities and investments to ensure it achieves its charitable objectives and purpose. As a part of this process the Trust maintains a minimum reserve fund of $2m invested in NZ Government Bonds.
i) Grants
Grants are approved for payment if the grant application meets the specified criteria. They are recognised as expenditure when the specified criteria for the grant has been met. Grants which have not met the specified criteria are recognised as contingent liabilities.
