β¨ Accounting Policies and Standards
3802 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 132 2 NOVEMBER 2012
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities (either advances and deposits or current portion of term debt) unless the Division has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.
p) Trade and other payables
Trade payables and other accounts payable are recognised when the Division becomes obliged to make future payments resulting from the purchase of goods and services. These are initially recognised at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, trade payables and other accounts payable are recorded at amortised cost. Given the nature of these liabilities amortised cost approximates their notional principal.
q) Inter-division account
The inter-division account represents the balance due to other Divisions within Powerco Limited. The balance is the result of inter-divisional transactions since the Division was established.
Changes in accounting policies
Accounting policies have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.
