Statement of Accounting Policies (continued)
g) Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
The cost amount of property, plant and equipment less the estimated residual value is depreciated over their useful lives on a straight line basis. The range of useful lives of the asset classes are:
- Building improvements 4 years
- Furniture and fittings 2-8 years
- Other fixed assets 2-10 years
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.
h) Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are recognised at cost and amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, from the date that they are available for use. Costs that are directly attributable to the database, an intangible development project, are initially recognised at cost.
i) 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 entity in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date.
