President’s Report I am pleased to introduce the 2020 Annual and Financial Report for the Australian Security Industry Association Limited. The 2019-20 year has been an eventful and challenging one for the Association on many fronts. However, with the support of members and the Secretariat team we have come through stronger and with our reputation further strengthened. In July, the Association celebrated its 50th anniversary with a gala dinner held at the spectacular Sydney Town Hall. Among those who addressed the 450 guests present included The Hon Nick Minchin, son of ASIAL’s founding President, Devon Minchin. July also saw the release of the ASIAL funded Australian Strategic Policy Institute Report ‘From board room to situation room: why corporate security is national security’ and ASIAL’s Guidelines For Dealing With Discrimination, Harassment, Sexual Harassment and Bullying. In August, the Association’s podcast series continued with an interview with Nick Aldworth, Former National Coordinator Protect and Prepare, Counter Terrorism Policing National HQ, New Scotland Yard. The podcast covered discussion of the impact the 2017 terrorist attacks in the UK had on protective security thinking and how, in collaboration with others, the UK Counter-Terrorism Police are attempting to galvanise the whole of the private sector in playing an integrated role in keeping people safe.
Through September and ensuing months, ASIAL played an active role in contributing to development of a Workforce Development Plan for the Security Industry lead by Jobs Queensland. The final document will be considered by the Queensland government. In October over 300 Security industry executives gathered to celebrate excellence and achievement at ASIAL’s Annual Industry Awards. In the addition to the ASIAL Awards, the evening also included the Outstanding Security Performance Awards and the Australian Security Medals Awards. Once again demonstrating ASIAL’s commitment to collaboration and providing a platform for the industry to get together and celebrate all that is good about our industry. In November, ASIAL entered into Memorandums of Understanding with the Australian Information Security Association, (ISC)² and the New Zealand Security Association. These MoUs reaffirm ASIAL’s strategic focus of creating a framework for cooperation and collaboration across different areas of security. In December I addressed the Leadership in Counter Terrorism Alumni Association (LinCT-AA) International Terrorism Forum attended by 500 law enforcement and terrorism experts from around the world. The presentation addressed the importance of public/ private partnership and the need to strengthen security capability.
From 1 January 2020, ASIAL’s Code of Practice for Mobile Security Patrols came into effect. The Code provide ASIALs members with a practical guide for the delivery of mobile security patrol services. With the unfolding COVID-19 outbreak, through February, March and April members were kept abreast of developments through regular e-newsletter updates. In February, following data provided by state and territory security licensing regulators, we published the ASIAL Security Industry Licensing Report 2020. The report provides comprehensive data on the number of individual and company security licence holders across the country. In March, the COVID-19 pandemic took hold across Australia. The introduction of strict lockdown measures meant that many sectors of our industry were hit hard, as pubs, clubs, cinemas, restaurants, music and sporting venues were all shut down. At the same time, other sectors of the industry were busy servicing the needs to supermarkets, hotel quarantine centres and temperature screening staff entering factories and offices. The ASIAL Secretariat continued to operate throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, providing members with advice and support through this challenging period. March saw the release of the Australian Security Research Centre report supported by ASIAL on Occupational Violence, Aggression and Duty of Care in Australia. During April and May the Association contributed to the preparation of COVID-19 guidance materials prepared by Safe Work Australia and liaised with State and Territory Security Industry regulators to deliver a series of virtual licensing updates, as well as the Australian Taxation Office. In May the Association expanded its e-learning course catalogue with the introduction of courses on COVID-19 Awareness, Infection Control in the Workplace, Coping with Change in the Workplace, Effective Practices When Working from Home, Leading Virtual Teams and Running Effective Virtual Meetings. Finally, in June a Full Bench of the Fair Work Commission handed down its decision in the ‘Ordinary Hours of Work case’ – a long running dispute between the United Workers’

Secretary’s Report
Union and the Security Industry. The decision in favour of ASIAL ensures that members can continue to allocate ordinary hours and overtime in roster cycles of up to 8 weeks in an efficient and cost-effective manner. I would like to acknowledge the efforts of Tim McDonald from Moray and Agnew Lawyers who were engaged to defend the industry position, assisted by Chris Delaney, ASIAL’s Workplace Relations Advisor. Risk Governance The Board continues to set clear expectations of management on the governance of both financial and non-financial risk. Supporting this are the Finance Committee and Risk Committee which undertake reviews and seek information from the business and make recommendations and offer advice to the Board. The Board also measures its adherence to accepted not for profit governance standards. The Board with support from the Committee’s has oversight of the Risk Management Framework of the Association. This oversight includes managing risk consistent with the Associations risk appetite and strategy. During the year several matters were considered in detail by the Board including: - COVID-19 risk management both financial and non-financial - Compliance with the AICD Not for Profit Governance Principles - Monitoring the risk framework with regular risk register reporting - Investment strategy and insurance - Reviews with Association Auditor
Despite a challenging year which saw the economy battered by bushfires, floods and the COVID-19 pandemic, the Association was able to post a strong result for the year. The strong foundation has enabled the Association to undertake a wide range of activities and to achieve a great deal for the industry over the past year. Whilst revenue fell slightly, this was offset by a reduction in expenses. The Government’s cash boost and payroll tax relief payments totalling $65,550 contributed to generating a surplus of $104,075 for the year. Encouragingly member subscription income rose by 3.2%, reflecting the outstanding value for money offered by membership of the Association. The annual growth in membership underscores the vital role the Association performs and the support it provides particularly during difficult times. With Microsoft no longer providing updates or technical support for its Windows Server 2008 from early 2020, the Association invested $47,000 in February 2020 to build a network based in the Microsoft 365 cloud. The investment proved a timely one during the COVID-19 pandemic enabling ASIAL Secretariat staff to work remotely and continue to provide advice and support to members. Another significant expense incurred during the year was the $83,000 spent on legal expenses to defend the industry position before a full bench of the Fair Work Commission. The decision in favour of ASIAL ensures that members can continue to allocate ordinary hours and overtime in roster cycles of up to 8 weeks in an efficient and cost-effective manner. All unspent revenue raised through the member marketing levy over the past year will be invested in the year ahead to fund a range of initiatives to promote awareness of the important role the security industry performs. Finally, whilst it has been a demanding year, thanks to the ongoing support of the ASIAL Board of Directors, Convenors, members and Secretariat team the Association has come through stronger and more focused.
All in all, it has been a year during which much has happened, at the end of which the Association has emerged in a strong and healthy position.
Bryan de Caires, Chief Executive Officer and Secretary
The Association continues to be the leading security association where membership is a mark of distinction, and we remain committed to the vision of a safe and secure Australia.
5-Year Performance Summary (2016-2020)

GROWTH Membership The past year has been extremely challenging for business, government and the wider community, with severe bush fires, floods and the far reaching impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to deal with. Throughout, the ASIAL Secretariat has continued to provide members with trustworthy, reliable and timely advice and support on a broad range of issues. Whether compliance or regulatory issues, technical and industrial relations advice or COVID-19 related information and advice, ASIAL continues to be there for its members. Despite these challenges, the Association welcomed 313 new members during the year, at 30 June 2020 total membership stood at 2,637 (a net annual gain of 53 members). Growth in membership is important as it further strengthens the Association’s ability to advocate for the industry and provide a strong voice on important issues.

Celebrating 50 years The Association’s commitment to professional development and networking opportunities was highlighted by its successful program of industry events. Industry Breakfast Briefings held across the country during the year attracted over 600 participants. The COVID-19 pandemic forced the postponement of events scheduled to be held during March, April, May and June. The 2019 Security Exhibition & Conference attracted attendance of 6,193 (up 15% on the previous year) and the ASIAL Conference was another sell out event.

PROVIDING ADVOCACY ASIAL has been an active and vocal advocate for the industry through interaction with the media, engagement with government and regulators and representation of the industry on industrial relations issues.
Workplace Relations The past year has seen many changes to regulations, applications to vary award conditions and of course there has been the COVID-19 pandemic. Providing members with advice and assistance and the information necessary to operate a compliant workplace continues to be a priority through webinars, bulletins, podcasts and regular articles. Members have been provided with professional guidance and representation in matters affecting workplace relations from employment contracts, Enterprise Bargaining Agreements, disciplinary and dismissal matters, retrenchment, through to award interpretation and wage schedules. There has been a strong focus on educating and encouraging clients, including Government, to award contracts on reputation and competency as opposed to the lowest price. Zombie Enterprise Bargaining Agreements, sham contracting and underpayment of wages continue to make it difficult for compliant providers to secure profitable contracts.

ABN 91 000 813 365
COVID-19 - The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly changed how we work, with working from home, more webinars, podcasts and on-line meetings becoming the norm. In order to keep members informed ASIAL has had to adapt and respond through the greater use of virtual meetings, podcasts and email newsletters. 4 yearly Modern Award Reviews The 4 yearly Modern Award Review finally concluded in the midst of COVID-19, Jobkeeper and award variations to allow for a range of measures to assist employees and employers deal with the crisis. A new plain English Security Services Industry Award 2020 (the SSIA) came into effect on 18 June 2020. Applications to vary Award Provisions - An application by the United Workers’ Union to vary the Security Services Award 2010 after a long running dispute with the industry over the allocation of overtime during roster cycles was defended by ASIAL on behalf of the Security Industry and subsequently rejected by the Fair Work Commission.
The decision in favour of ASIAL is of major importance. It ensures that the industry will continue to have the flexibility to allocate ordinary hours and overtime in roster cycles of up to 8 weeks in an efficient and costeffective manner. ASIAL engaged Tim McDonald from Moray and Agnew Lawyers assisted by Chris Delaney, ASIAL’s Workplace Relations Advisor to defend the industry position and seek to maintain the status quo. Separate applications to vary the award for shoes to be provided by employers as part of a uniform and a new classification added to the award for a Hospital Security classification were heard by the Fair Work Commission (the Commission). The Commission agreed with ASIAL’s submissions that both applications were without merit and were subsequently dismissed. The Commission also endorsed ASIAL’s submissions that Casual overtime payments do not include the 25% Casual loading. Annual Wage Review - In June 2020, the Fair Work Commission handed down its decision in the Annual Wage Review. As a direct result of the devastating effects of COVID-19 on employment and the economy the Commission departed from its usual practice and the wage increase of 1.75% will this year be introduced in three separate periods. Most security industry workers will have their increase available from the first full pay period after 1 November 2020.
Regulatory Affairs The Association has played an important role in assisting members in meeting their compliance and regulatory obligations, providing support with business forms, standard operating procedures, business plans and direct representation with regulators. The risks of noncompliance requirements are significant, from financial penalties, criminal charges and direct impacts on business owners, managers and potentially personal assets. The Association experienced increased demand for its compliance systems and tools, including the ASIAL Safe Work Management system, document templates and resources, human resources advice and training, contractor management and licence records and checking. Access to this support has greatly assisted members in meeting audit requirements and regulator demands. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in increased member demand for assistance in complying with issues arising from the pandemic. In addition to access to online support information, assistance was provided regarding interpretation of government COVID determinations including border access, safety requirements, business operation and staff movement. Requests for assistance were also received in the area of debt management. The Association also provided input to COVID safe workplace guidelines prepared by Safe Work Australia. Ensuring members are kept informed of the latest regulatory changes, compliance obligations and legislative reviews is a key focus for the Association.
With the growing complexities of compliance legislation and the increase in different regulatory bodies impacting on the security industry, ASIAL’s relevance in this area increases each year, reflected by requests from members for assistance. As an Approved Security Industry Association in Queensland, 218 members were issued with audit compliance certificates, 60 have been notified that an audit is due, three (3) are being processed and four (4) resigned after audit notification. Two (2) ASIAL members operating in Queensland were expelled due to non-compliance of the statutory audit requirement.
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly changed how we work, with working from home, more webinars, podcasts and on-line meetings becoming the norm.

DRIVING PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS Commensurate with the increased responsibilities and expectations placed on the security industry comes the need for higher professional standards and ethical practices. ASIAL continues to provide leadership by driving industry standards and best practice to effect a change in the way the industry operates and how customers view and value security. Examples of this over the past year include development of a Code of Practice for Mobile Security Patrols and a Guideline for Dealing with Discrimination, Harassment, Sexual Harassment and Bullying.
Protective Security It has been a challenging year for the protective security sector. Issues relating to wage theft, sham subcontracting and ‘zombie’ Enterprise Bargaining Agreements continue to tarnish the industry. The race to the bottom mentality, driven in part by customers who should know better (including government and large commercial infrastructure projects) results in lower service standards. While the need for a competitive marketplace is recognised, this should not be at the expense of quality and compliance with all obligations.
16
ABN 91 000 813 365
The Association urges customers (both government and corporate) to lead by example and support providers who provide quality service and operate in compliance with their workplace obligations. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted significantly on some parts of the protective security sector, particularly hospitality, cash in transit, aviation and event security, whilst other parts (retail security and hotel quarantine security) have experienced strong demand. While the industry’s provision of COVID-19 security services has received positive feedback, it has also come under some criticism. ASIAL led the security industry through timely COVID-19 updates and information. Through the provision of over the phone advice and support, website updates and e-newsletters members have been kept fully informed of developments. Finalisation of the Certificate II and III in Security Operations training package and national acceptance by Security Regulators of the recommended fourteen common units of competency for entry level licensing was welcomed by ASIAL. ASIAL has long advocated the need for nationally uniform and consistent entry level training requirements. That said, variations in jurisdictional selection of units for the Certificate III in Security Operations continues to be a frustration. ASIAL will continue to work with Security Regulators in moving towards national consistency in training and licensing requirements.
Standards Australia ASIAL has actively participated in supporting standards development for the security industry and are currently committee members for Australian Standards and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). During the year, the electronics committee EL-031 (chaired by John Fleming, GM, ASIAL) submitted a proposal to Australian Standards to withdraw the aged AS4806 CCTV standard and adopt the IEC 62676 series of digital CCTV standards. This was finalised in April 2020 and will now be known in Australia as the AS/ NZS 62676 series, Video Surveillance Systems (VSS) for use in security applications. The new standard for Electronic access control are AS/NZS IEC 60839.11.1:2019 Systems and Components, AS/NZS IEC 60839.11.2:2019 Application Guidelines, they have also been fully adopted and were released in December 2019. ASIAL is represented on MB029: Private Security Detection Dogs which is developing a standard to cover the welfare, competency and use of security and detection dogs.
Training
ASIAL Cabling Registry
Artibus Innovation who were commissioned by the Australian Government, undertook a review of vocational education and training for the technical security Industry. The Technical Advisory Group involving employers, industry, Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) and regulators completed the review of Technical Security Certificate II and Certificate III.
As an Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) Cabling Registrar, ASIAL’s cabling registry has been kept busy responding to cablers wanting to update their competencies and questioning how they should go about gaining competencies to continue legally working in the industry. Registered Training Organisations have responded to the changes, offering courses to upgrade from restricted to Open registration and gain specialised cabling competencies, Fibre, Structured and Co-axial. These qualifications have been deemed essential for the development of a skilled labour force that can work on IP technologies and the National Broadband Network.
The review of the Certificate IV in Security Management and Certificate IV in Security Risk Analysis, Diploma of Security Risk Management and Certificate III in Investigative services were also completed this year. Regulators and RTO’s will transition to the new training packages during 2020.
National Broadband Network ASIAL has continued to engage with NBN Co to ensure information is provided to members and registered cablers on the deployment of the National Broadband Network (nbn). The nbn working with approved service providers will replace the existing landline phone and internet services in Australia, this is scheduled to be finalised in 2020. It is vitally important that stakeholders in the migration of back to base security and medical alarms are kept informed of developments and communicate with their customers to offer solutions that maintain the security systems integrity. No matter which type of technology is used to deliver the nbn, it is crucial that home and office wiring has been well planned.
During the 2019/2020 financial year cabling registrations grew by 2%, to reach 6,309 active registrations on 30 June 2020. The majority of registrants choosing to apply for or renew their ‘Open’ registration continues to increase (5,572) as opposed to declining numbers for the ‘Restricted’ cabling registration (525), with only a few now remaining (11) for ‘Lift’ work. ASIAL continues to engage with ACMA and other cabling registrars to promote ongoing compliance and training in this sector.
While the need for a competitive marketplace is recognised, this should not be at the expense of quality and compliance with all obligations.
Security installation work must be carried out by a licenced security technician that holds an Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) cablers registration card with the appropriate cabling competencies.

Notes to the Financial Statements Note 1 Summary of significant accounting policies
•
AASB 16 Leases and amending standards, which replaces AASB117 Leases. Application of this standard is discussed further below.
•
AASB 2017-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on the reporting unit’s financial statements.
•
AASB 2017-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on the reporting unit’s financial statements.
•
AASB 2018-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Annual Improvements 2015–2017 Cycle. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on the reporting unit’s financial statements.
•
AASB 2018-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on the reporting unit’s financial statements.
Impact on adoption of AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (AASB 15) and AASB 1058 Income of Not-for-Profit Entities (AASB 1058)
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers supersedes AASB 111 Construction Contracts, AASB 118 Revenue and related Interpretations and it applies, with limited exceptions, to all revenue arising from contracts with its customers.
AASB 15 establishes a five-step model to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers and requires that revenue be recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. AASB 15 also includes implementation guidance to assist notfor-profit entities to determine whether particular transactions, or components thereof, are contracts with customers. If a transaction is outside the scope of AASB 15, the recognition and measurement of income arising from the transaction may instead be specified by another Standard, for example AASB 1058 Income of Not-for-Profit Entities.
AASB 1058 replaces the income recognition requirements in AASB 1004 Contributions that had previously applied to the reporting unit. AASB 1058 provides a more comprehensive model for accounting for income of not-for-profit entities and specifies that:
•
the timing of revenue or income recognition will depend on whether a performance obligation is identified or a liability is recognised;
1.1 Basis of preparation of the financial statements The financial statements are general purpose financial statements and have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that apply for the reporting period, the Corporations Act 2001 and the Fair Work (Registered Organisation) Act 2009. For the purpose of preparing the general purpose financial statements, the Australian Security Industry Association Limited is a not-for- profit entity. The financial statements, other than the Statement of Cash Flows, have been prepared on an accrual basis and in accordance with the historical cost, except for certain assets and liabilities measured at fair value, as explained in the accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. Except where stated, no allowance is made for the effect of changing prices on the results or the financial position. The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars. 1.2 Comparative amounts When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year. 1.3 Significant accounting judgements and estimates The following accounting assumptions or estimates have been identified that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period: •
Land and buildings – refer to note 1.13
•
Employee provisions – refer to note 1.7
1.4 New Australian Accounting Standards
Adoption of New Australian Accounting Standard requirements Any new and revised standards that became effective for the first time in the current financial year have been adopted. The adoption of these amendments has not had a material impact on the entity. No accounting standard has been adopted earlier than the application date stated in the standard. The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except for the following standards and amendments, which have been adopted for the first time this financial year: •
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which replaces AASB 118 Revenue, and AASB 1058 Income of Not-for-Profit-Entities, which replaces in the income recognition requirements of AASB 1004 Contributions. Application of this standard is discussed further below.
ASIAL 2020 Annual & Financial Report
31
Financial Report - For the year ended 30 June 2020
Notes to the Financial Statements •
not-for-profit lessees can elect to recognise assets, including leases provided at significantly less than fair value, at their fair value; and
•
all not-for-profit entities can elect to recognise volunteer services at fair value if the fair value of those services can be reliably measured.
Consequently, the comparative information presented has not been restated and continues to be reported under the previous standards on revenue and income recognition. In addition, the reporting unit has applied the practical expedient and elected to apply these standards retrospectively only to contracts and transactions that were not completed contracts at the date of initial application, i.e. as at 1 July 2019. The adoption of AASB 15 and AASB 1058 did not have a material impact on the reporting unit’s financial statements.
Impact on adoption of AASB 16 Leases
AASB 16 Leases supersedes AASB 117 Leases, Interpretation 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, Interpretation 115 Operating Leases—Incentives and Interpretation 127 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease. The standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and requires lessees to recognise most leases on the balance sheet.
32
The reporting unit adopted AASB 15 and AASB 1058 using the modified retrospective method of adoption, with the date of initial application of 1 July 2019. In accordance with the transition approach, the reporting unit recognised the cumulative effect (if any) of applying these new standards as an adjustment to opening retained earnings at the date of initial application, i.e. 1 July 2019.
Lessor accounting under AASB 16 is substantially unchanged from AASB 117. Lessors will continue to classify leases as either operating or finance leases using similar principles as in AASB 117. Therefore, AASB 16 does not have an impact for leases where the reporting unit is the lessor. The reporting unit has adopted AASB 16 using the modified retrospective method of transition, with the date of initial application of 1 July 2019. Under this method, the standard is applied retrospectively with the cumulative effect (if any) of initially applying the standard recognised at the date of initial application. The reporting unit elected to use the transition practical expedient to not reassess whether a contract is or contains a lease at 1 July 2019.
ABN 91 000 813 365
Instead, the reporting unit applied the standard only to contracts that were previously identified as leases applying AASB 117 and Interpretation 4 at the date of initial application.
Before the adoption of AASB 16, the reporting unit would have classified its lease contracts (as lessee) at the inception date as either a finance lease or an operating lease.
Upon adoption of AASB 16, the reporting unit applied a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The standard provides specific transition requirements and practical expedients, which have been applied by the reporting unit.
Leases previously classified as finance leases
The reporting unit did not have any leases previously classified as finance leases.
Leases previously accounted for as operating leases
The reporting unit did not have any leases previously classified as operating leases.
Reporting unit as a lessor
The reporting unit is not required to make any adjustments on transition to AASB 16 where it is a lessor.
Future Australian Accounting Standards Requirements
New standards, amendments to standards or interpretations that were issued prior to the sign-off date and are applicable to future reporting periods that are expected to have a future financial impact on reporting unit include:
AASB 2020-1 – Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current
This Standard amends AASB 101 to clarify requirements for the presentation of liabilities in the statement of financial position as current or noncurrent. For example, the amendments clarify that a liability is classified as non-current if an entity has the right at the end of the reporting period to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. This Standard applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022. Earlier application is permitted.
During the financial year ended 30 June 2020, the reporting unit performed a preliminary assessment of AASB 2020-1. The directors are currently assessing the impact such standards will have on the reporting unit and will not be early adopting AASB 2020-1 for the financial year ended 30 June 2020.
1.5 Revenue Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue from membership subscriptions is accounted for on an accrual basis and is recorded as revenue in the year to which it relates. Receivables for services, which have 30-day terms, are recognised at the nominal amounts due less any impairment allowance account. Collectability of debts is reviewed at end of the reporting period. Allowances are made when collectability of the debt is no longer probable. Interest revenue is recognised on an accrual basis using the effective interest method. Rental revenue from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. 1.6 Gains and losses
Sale of assets Gains and losses from disposal of assets are recognised when control of the asset has passed to the buyer. 1.7 Employee benefits A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, long service leave and termination benefits when it is probable that settlement will be required and they are capable of being measured reliably. Liabilities for short-term employee benefits (as defined in AASB 119 Employee Benefits) and termination benefits which are expected to be settled within twelve months of the end of reporting period are measured at their nominal amounts. The nominal amount is calculated with regard to the rates expected to be paid on settlement of the liability. Other long-term employee benefits which are expected to be settled beyond twelve months are measured as the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the reporting unit in respect of services provided by employees up to reporting date. Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions. Provision is made for separation and redundancy benefit payments. The reporting unit recognises a provision for termination as part of a broader restructuring when it has developed a detailed formal plan for the terminations and
has informed those employees affected that it will carry out the terminations. A provision for voluntary termination is recognised when the employee has accepted the offer of termination. 1.8 Cash Cash is recognised at its nominal amount. Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with bank, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturity of 3 months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and subject to insignificant risk of changes in value and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short- term borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.
1.9 Financial instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the reporting unit becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 1.10 Financial assets Initial recognition and measurement Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, and subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI), or fair value through profit or loss. The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics and the reporting unit’s business model for managing them. With the exception of trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component, the reporting unit initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs. In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortised cost or fair value through OCI, it needs to give rise to cash flows that are ‘solely payments of principal and interest’ (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level. The reporting unit’s business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the reporting unit commits to purchase or sell the asset. Subsequent measurement For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in five categories:
ASIAL 2020 Annual & Financial Report
33
Financial Report - For the year ended 30 June 2020
Notes to the Financial Statements •
(Other) financial assets at amortised cost
•
(Other) financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
•
Investments in equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income
•
(Other) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
•
(Other) financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss
Upon initial recognition, the reporting unit can elect to classify irrevocably its equity investments as equity instruments designated at fair value through OCI when they meet the definition of equity under AASB132 Financial Instruments: Presentation and are not held for trading. The classification is determined on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Gains and losses on these financial assets are never recycled to profit or loss. Dividends are recognised as other income in profit or loss when the right of payment has been established, except when the reporting unit benefits from such proceeds as a recovery of part of the cost of the financial asset, in which case, such gains are recorded in OCI. Equity instruments designated at fair value through OCI are not subject to impairment assessment.
Financial assets at amortised cost The reporting unit measures financial assets at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met: •
The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and
•
The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding
Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest (EIR) method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired.
The reporting unit elected to classify irrevocably its listed and non-listed equity investments under this category.
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income The reporting unit measures debt instruments at fair value through OCI if both of the following conditions are met: •
The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective of both holding to collect contractual cash flows and selling and
•
The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding
For debt instruments at fair value through OCI, interest income, foreign exchange revaluation and impairment losses or reversals are recognised in profit or loss and computed in the same manner as for financial assets measured at amortised cost. The remaining fair value changes are recognised in OCI. Upon derecognition, the cumulative fair value change recognised in OCI is recycled to profit or loss. The reporting unit’s debt instruments at fair value through OCI includes investments in quoted debt instruments included under other non-current financial assets.
34
ABN 91 000 813 365
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (including designated) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading, financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss, or financial assets mandatorily required to be measured at fair value. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. Derivatives, including separated embedded derivatives, are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Financial assets with cash flows that are not solely payments of principal and interest are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss, irrespective of the business model. Notwithstanding the criteria for debt instruments to be classified at amortised cost or at fair value through OCI, as described above, debt instruments may be designated at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition if doing so eliminates, or significantly reduces, an accounting mismatch.
The reporting unit’s financial assets at amortised cost includes trade receivables and loans to related parties.
Investments in equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with net changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.
Derecognition A financial asset is derecognised when: •
The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired or
•
The reporting unit has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘passthrough’ arrangement; and either:
a)
the reporting unit has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or
b)
the reporting unit has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
•
The reporting unit considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are 90 days past due. However, in certain cases, the reporting unit may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the reporting unit is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows.
When the reporting unit has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if, and to what extent, it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the reporting unit continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of its continuing involvement together with associated liability.
Offsetting Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
1.11 Financial Liabilities
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of financial liabilities at amortised cost, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
Trade receivables For trade receivables that do not have a significant financing component, the reporting unit applies a simplified approach in calculating expected credit losses (ECLs) which requires lifetime expected credit losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.
The reporting unit financial liabilities include trade and other payables.
Subsequent measurement
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (including designated) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss.
Therefore, the reporting unit does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The reporting unit has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in profit or loss. Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in AASB 9 are satisfied.
(ii) Debt instruments other than trade receivables For all debt instruments other than trade receivables and debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss, the reporting unit recognises an allowance for expected credit losses using the general approach. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the reporting unit expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate.
Where there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses from possible default events within the next 12-months (a 12-month ECL).
Financial liabilities at amortised cost After initial recognition, trade payables and interestbearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in profit or loss.
ECLs are recognised in two stages: •
Initial recognition and measurement Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, at amortised cost unless or at fair value through profit or loss.
Impairment (i)
Where there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the debt, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL).
Derecognition A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
ASIAL 2020 Annual & Financial Report
35
Financial Report - For the year ended 30 June 2020
Notes to the Financial Statements When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.
1.12 Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets Contingent liabilities and contingent assets are not recognised in the Statement of Financial Position but are reported in the relevant notes. They may arise from uncertainty as to the existence of a liability or asset or represent an existing liability or asset in respect of which the amount cannot be reliably measured. Contingent assets are disclosed when settlement is probable but not virtually certain, and contingent liabilities are disclosed when settlement is greater than remote. 1.13 Land, Buildings, Plant and Equipment
Asset Recognition Threshold Purchases of land, buildings, plant and equipment are recognised initially at cost in the Statement of Financial Position. The initial cost of an asset includes an estimate of the cost of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.
Revaluations—Land and Buildings Following initial recognition at cost, land and buildings are carried at fair value less subsequent accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Revaluations are performed with sufficient frequency such that the carrying amount of assets do not differ materially from those that would be determined using fair values as at the reporting date. 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 profit or loss except to the extent that they reverse 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 is restated to the revalued amount. The freehold land and buildings were independently valued at 20 June 2018 by AON Valuation Services. The valuation was based on the fair value less cost to sell. The critical assumptions adopted in determining the valuation included the location of the land and buildings, the current strong demand for land and buildings in the area and recent sales data for similar properties.
36
ABN 91 000 813 365
Depreciation Depreciable property, plant and equipment assets are written-off to their estimated residual values over their estimated useful life 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. The depreciation rates applying to each class of depreciable asset are:
Buildings – straight line basis Plant and equipment – diminishing value basis
2020
2019
2.5%
2.5%
10-66%
10-66%
Derecognition An item of land, buildings, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in the profit and loss.
1.14 Impairment of non-financial assets All assets are assessed for impairment at the end of each reporting period to the extent that there is an impairment trigger. 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 reporting unit were deprived of the asset, its value in use is taken to be its depreciated replacement cost.
1.15 Taxation The entity is exempt from income tax under section 50.1 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 however still has obligation for Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) and the Goods and Services Tax (GST). Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of GST except: • •
where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office; and
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole: •
Level 1—Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
•
Level 2—Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable
•
Level 3—Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable
for receivables and payables.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables. Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Taxation Office is classified within operating cash flows. 1.16 Fair value measurement The reporting unit measures financial instruments, such as, financial asset as at fair value through the profit and loss, available for sale financial assets, and non-financial assets such as land and buildings and investment properties, at fair value at each balance sheet date. Also, fair values of financial instruments measured at amortised cost are disclosed in Note 13A. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either: •
In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
•
In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the reporting unit. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest. A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the reporting unit determines whether transfers have occurred between Levels in the hierarchy by re- assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period. External valuers are involved for valuation of significant assets, such as land and buildings and investment properties. Selection criteria include market knowledge, reputation, independence and whether professional standards are maintained. For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the reporting unit has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy. 1.17 Acquisition of assets and or liabilities that do not constitute a business combination The entity did not acquire an asset or liability due to an amalgamation under Part 2 of Chapter 3 of the RO Act, a restructure of the branches of the organisation, a determination or revocation by the General Manager of the Fair Work Commission under subsections 245(1) or 249(1) of the RO Act. Note 2 Going concern The entity is not reliant on the agreed financial support of another reporting unit to continue on a going concern basis. The entity has not agreed to provide financial support to another reporting unit to ensure they can continue on a going concern basis.
The reporting unit uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

The revalued land and buildings is the principal place of business at 41 Hume Street, Crows Nest, NSW, 2065. Management determined that these constitute one class of asset under AASB 13, based on the nature, characteristics and risks of the property. Fair value of the properties was determined by using market comparable method. This means that valuations performed by the valuer are based on active market prices, significantly adjusted for the difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific property. As at the date of revaluation, 20 June 2018, the property’s fair value is based on valuation performed by AON Valuation Services, an accredited independent valuer.
