Strategic directions and key achievements

1. Learners

Provide quality teaching in a flexible, supportive and responsive learning environment that enableslearners to achieve their work, career and personal development goals.

Help all learners to successfully develop the skills they need to enter or re-enter productive employment,maintain the currency of their skills, and build their careers through further learning.

Wodonga TAFE engineering program outcomes were heightened with the purchase of a new flatbed plasmacutter. This valuable training aid is used by engineering students in thermal cutting and computer programmingunits, as well as working with schools within the VET In Schools program. Purchasing this piece of equipmentwas received very positively by industry, with many local employers coming to visit the Institute to see it inoperation.

As a means to improve the learning experience of agriculture students, Wodonga TAFE invested in the purchaseof new farm training equipment, including a new industry standard tractor. This new tractor ensures students willenter the workforce with the specific skills required to operate machinery being used in industry.

Warehousing training was enhanced with the addition of vertical storage unit (VRU). This $80,000 piece ofequipment provided by KARDEX will assist with the industry relevant training for students. The VRU is linked to acomputer that enables stock items to be found in their allocated bins, which can then be easily picked. As part ofthis agreement, Wodonga TAFE is providing warehousing and logistics training for KARDEX staff.

Recognised as a leading provider of current and relevant vocational education services, Wodonga TAFEcontinued to invest in new and innovative teaching practices. In 2016, the institute introduced new learning andteaching technology including virtual reality, 360 degree cameras, and drones. Such technology will greatlyenhance future learning programs, benefiting both individual students and industry clients alike. In addition to thisnew technology, Wodonga TAFE continued to develop online learning systems used to enhance practicalface-to-face learning.

Wodonga TAFE’s Diploma to Degree partnership with La Trobe University (LTU) continued to be a great successin 2016, including Diploma to Degree pathways in nursing, early childhood education and care, and communityservices. The program guarantees a student’s position at the University if they choose to undertake a bachelordegree. Students will engage in joint Wodonga TAFE and LTU activities throughout their learning, designed tolessen the transition shock experienced when progressing to higher education. Discussions have begun to seethe Diploma to Degree offerings extended to include engineering, agriculture and business.

The Regional Tourism Employability Program (RTEP) was successfully run in 2016. In partnership with WilliamAngliss Institute, the program provides the opportunity to expose Wodonga TAFE hospitality students to thehighest quality hospitality learning available in both regional and metropolitan areas.

The benefits of this program are passed on to local employers as Wodonga TAFE graduates enter the workforcewith the highest standard skills and knowledge.

Wodonga TAFE’s Social Raw program saw Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL) studentsconceptualise, setup and run an actual retail space in a Wodonga shopping centre. This program providedstudents with unprecedented practical retail learning experience. Gaining all the skills required to enter theworkforce, these young students impressed local employers so much, all graduates gained work experience andjobs as a result.

Wodonga TAFE was the first TAFE to open a Skills and Job Centre. The Centre gained significant traction in2016, offering education and employment advice and programs to hundreds of people in the region looking foreducation and employment opportunities. Working closely with local Job Active providers, recruitment agenciesand schools, the Centre has become a central point in helping people gain employment. The Skills and JobCentre also supported local industry, linking businesses to potential employees and providing advice on fundingopportunities.

2. Industry

Support industry development and sustainability through collaboration with enterprises about skillsformation and recognition.

Promote a training culture with our industry partners by actively engaging with employers to increase theeffectiveness and relevance of workforce development programs that build business sustainability.

Wodonga TAFE continued to develop its close ties with industry both locally and nationally. With customisedtraining programs, the Institute delivered both operational and leadership focused programs to some of theregion’s largest employers. Wodonga TAFE’s strength in industry relationships was highlighted at WodongaTAFE’s annual awards night, where over 50 industry executive representatives participated in the evening.

The Institute’s reputation for delivering the highest quality vocational skills programs was highlighted with thewinning of numerous major tenders including the Australian Defence Force (ADF) medic and forklift trainingcontracts.

Warehousing trainers from Wodonga TAFE were again invited to judge at the annual industry Safety Challenge,run by the Global Manufacturing Board Australasia (GBMA). The international event is run to reward staff whowork in the plasterboard industry, and to recognise their ability as the best operators in the workplace.

Wodonga TAFE’s Driver Education Centre of Australia (DECA) took a new direction in 2016. With a key focus ondelivering the highest quality driving excellence programs, numerous new programs were developed. Industryconsultation identified significant skills gaps of both new and experienced drivers in the transport industry.Resulting in increasing costs and increasing safety risks, these skills gaps are directly addressed in the newdriving excellence programs. Programs include Pro Driver, Superior Heavy Vehicle Licensing, Responsible Driverand Rollover Prevention and Stability.

Working closely with industry, the Institute’s Jobs Victoria Education Network (JVEN) was implemented. With aconsortium of stakeholders including Tallangatta Health Service, Towong Shire, Gateway Community Health,Junction Support Services, the NELLEN, and Skills and Jobs Centre, students gained experience in age care,community care and disability care. Reducing the barriers of rural isolation, this program is being run at the newlybuilt Tallangatta Library and Community Centre.

Wodonga TAFE continued its partnership with Bupa Aged Care delivering the Assist with Medications Skill Set to11 Bupa sites across regional Victoria, South Australia and Hobart.

3. Community

Strengthen regional economic and community development, sustainability, and inclusiveness.

Contribute to the effective development of regional communities by increasing participation in educationand training that meets local needs, promotes inclusiveness, and supports community capacity building.

Wodonga TAFE’s Back to Work program played an important role in connecting people out of work with newcareer opportunities. Offering 14 different programs in construction, child care, hospitality, agriculture, business,horticulture, retail, warehousing and outdoor works, 150 job seekers were enrolled.

Being located in a regional area means Wodonga TAFE has a responsibility to find practical and effective ways ofbringing educational opportunities to people in more rural areas. In 2016, Wodonga TAFE partnered withMyrtleford Neighbourhood Centre to provide local residents Wodonga TAFE courses in a location closer to theirhomes. This relationship helped remove the barrier of having to travel great distances to a Wodonga TAFEcampus.

With the CFA being permanently located at Wodonga TAFE, this has provided an opportunity for the Institute andthe CFA to strengthen relationships for the betterment of both organisations and the community.

In 2016, the North East Food and Wine Festival was once again run by Wodonga TAFE. A community event thatsaw over 50 local businesses participate, and over 5,000 people attend. Running the event not only provided anopportunity for the community to come together and celebrate the region’s produce, but provide students with anopportunity to gain skills in event planning and management.

Opening Wodonga TAFE facilities to the public is an important part of strengthening community, promoting ourservices and enhancing relevance. One example of this included car club usage of the Wodonga TAFE drivertraining circuit. Track days were run by the motorsports students who also act as officials on the day (flagging,and assisting with scrutineering and clerk of course).

A key aspect of the Institute’s engagement with the community is creating opportunities for students to engagewith community. An example of this includes VCAL students developing work ready skills through the creationand running of fund raisers for local community charities. Fund raisers were successfully held for AlburyWodonga Animal Rescue and Wodonga Dog Rescue, raising over $700.

Be proactive, agile, and responsive to our stakeholders and continuously improve the quality of ourproducts and services to enhance our capability, performance, and reputation, nationally andinternationally.

The Institute’s annual Knowledge Share conference once again proved to be an invaluable means forcross-institute knowledge sharing and communications. The day saw the entire workforce of the Institute meet fora day, participate in workshops, and share information, in order to improve communications across the growingbusiness.

2016 saw a series of activities run as part of the Institute’s Health and Wellbeing program. The program aimed tobuild awareness on the importance of workplace general health and wellbeing. Activities included participation inTour de Office, Ride to Work, RUOK day, flu vaccinations and much more.

A new executive role of People and Capability was implemented in 2016. Wodonga TAFE recognises theimportance of maintain and positive and motivated workforce, and saw the continued investment into supportingits people as critical in ensuring this. This new executive role will ensure matters relating to workforce are set aspriority in years to come.

this change in book entries for treatment of salary recoup $8.593m, overhead recovery $2.606m which reflect as a reduction in

revenues. Historical expenditures also included $7.815m which are not reflected in 2016 compared to prior years.

The consolidated Net result for the combined entity in 2015 was $806k, which has reduced to $114k in 2016.This represents further declines in revenues for VTG $0.770m, FFS $3.5m which have been largely offset byreductions in Expenditure in 2016 driven primarily by the change in DECA business model. The shift in Assetsand Liabilities results from the merge of DECA into Wodonga Institute of TAFE at the end of 2016.

• Objectives of the legislation can only be achieved by restricting competition

Wodonga TAFE has implemented procedures including costing and pricing tools that ensure full compliance withnational competition policy.

Wodonga TAFE’s implementation of its policy also addresses the particular requirements of ministerial directionson fees and charges, legislation on the goods and services tax and its guidelines, rulings, and interpretationsmade by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC). These include the following:

Note 1 Statement of significant accounting policies

The annual financial statements represent the audited general purpose financial statements for WodongaInstitute of TAFE and controlled entities ('Consolidated Group' or 'Group'), and the separate financial statementsand notes of Wodonga Institute of TAFE as an individual parent entity ('Institute').

The accounting policies set out below have been applied in preparing the financial statements for the year ended31 December 2016 and the comparative information presented for the year ended 31 December 2015.

The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the Institute in the preparation of thefinancial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.

1.01 Statement of compliance

These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial ManagementAct 1994 (FMA) and applicable Australian Accounting Standards (AAS) which include Interpretations, issued bythe Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB). In particular, they are presented in a manner consistent withthe requirements of the AASB 1049 Whole of Government and General Government Sector Financial Reporting.

For the purposes of preparing financial statements, the Institute is classed as a not-for-profit entity. Whereappropriate, those AAS paragraphs applicable to not-for-profit entities have been applied.

Accounting policies are selected and applied in a manner which ensures that the resulting financial informationsatisfies the concepts of relevance and reliability, thereby ensuring that the substance of the underlyingtransactions or other events is reported.

1.02 Basis of accounting preparation and measurement

The accrual basis of accounting has been applied in the preparation of these financial statements wherebyassets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses are recognised in the reporting period to which they relate,regardless of when cash is received or paid.

These financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, the functional and presentation currency of theInstitute, and have been prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention. Historical cost is based onthe fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. Exceptions to the historical cost conventioninclude:

• non-financial physical assets which, subsequent to acquisition, are measured at a revalued amountbeing their fair value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation andsubsequent impairment losses. Revaluations are made with sufficient regularity to ensure that thecarrying amounts do not materially differ from their fair value;

• the fair value of an asset other than land is generally based on its depreciated replacement value;

• available-for-sale investments which are measured at fair value with movements reflected in 'othereconomic flows - other comprehensive income'.

Critical accounting judgement and key sources of estimation uncertainty

Judgements, estimates and assumptions are required to be made about the carrying values of assets andliabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are basedon professional judgements derived from historical experience and various other factors that are believed to bereasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and associated assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimatesare recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and also in future periods that are affected by therevision. Judgements made by management in the application of AASs that have significant effects on thefinancial statements and estimates relate to:

• the fair value of land, buildings, infrastructure, plant and equipment;

• superannuation expense; and

• actuarial assumptions for employee benefit provisions based on likely tenure of existing staff, patterns ofleave claims, future salary movements and future discount rates.

Fair value measurement

Consistent with AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement, the Institute determines the policies and procedures for bothrecurring fair value measurements such as property, plant and equipment, investment properties and financialinstruments and for non-recurring fair value measurements such as non-financial physical assets held for sale, inaccordance with the requirements of AASB 13 and the relevant Financial Reporting Directions.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorisedwithin the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fairvalue 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 valuemeasurement is directly or indirectly observable; and

• Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuemeasurement is unobservable.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Institute has determined classes of assets and liabilities on thebasis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy asexplained above.

In addition, the Institute determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as awhole) at the end of each reporting period.

The Valuer General Victoria (VGV) is the Institute’s independent valuation agency.

The Institute, in conjunction with VGV,monitors changes in the fair value of each asset and liability throughrelevant data sources to determine whether revaluation is required.

1.03 Reporting entity

The financial statements cover the Wodonga Institute of TAFE as an individual reporting entity. The Institute is astatutory body corporate, established pursuant to an act made by the Victorian Government under the Educationand Training Reform Act 2006.

Its principal address is:Wodonga Institute of TAFE87 McKoy StreetWodonga, VIC 3690

The financial statements include all the controlled activities of the entity.

1.04 Basis of consolidation

In accordance with AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements:

- the consolidated financial statements of the Institute include all reporting entities controlled by the Institute asat 31 December 2016; and

- the consolidated financial statements exclude bodies that are not controlled by the Institute, and therefore arenot consolidated.

Where control of an entity is obtained during the financial period, its results are included in the comprehensiveoperating statement from the date on which control commenced. Where control ceases during a financial period,the entity’s results are included for that part of the period in which control existed. Where entities adopt dissimilaraccounting policies and their effect is considered material, adjustments are made to ensure consistent policiesare adopted in these financial statements.

In preparing consolidated financial statements for the Institute, all material transactions and balances betweenconsolidated entities are eliminated.

Entities consolidated into the Institute reporting entity for 2016 include:

Driver Education Centre of Australia Ltd29-45 Millers RdAltona North, VIC, 3205.

Consistent with the requirements of AASB 1004 Contributions, contributions by owners (that is, contributedcapital and its repayment) are treated as equity transactions and, therefore, do not form part of the income andexpenses of the Institute. For 2016, there is consolidation of Driver Education Centre of Australia until 31December 2016. The date of merger with Wodonga Institute of TAFE in 2016 [refer Merging Institutes financialsNote 24].

Integration - Wodonga Institute of TAFE

With Ministerial approval, DECA has been merged with Wodonga Institute of TAFE as follows; The DECA entitytraded 364 days in 2016. The DECA Balance Sheet was merged with Wodonga Institute of TAFE effective 31stDecember 2016. The Wodonga Institute of TAFE Financial statements are produced upon a consolidated basis.As of 31st December 2016, all property and rights of DECA, and all assets and liabilities of DECA become theassets and liabilities of Wodonga Institute of TAFE.

1.05 Scope and presentation of financial statements

Comprehensive operating statement

The comprehensive operating statement comprises three components, being ‘net result from transactions’ (ortermed as ‘net operating balance’), ‘other economic flows included in net result’, as well as ‘other economic flows- other comprehensive income’. The sum of the former two, together with the net result from discontinuedoperations, represents the net result.

The net result is equivalent to profit or loss derived in accordance with AASs.

‘Other economic flows’ are changes arising from market remeasurements. They include:

• gains and losses from disposals of non-financial assets;

• revaluations and impairments of non-financial physical and intangible assets;

• remeasurement arising from defined benefit superannuation plans;

• fair value changes of financial instruments and agricultural assets; and

• depletion of natural assets (non-produced) from their use or removal.

This classification is consistent with the whole of government reporting format and is allowed under AASB 101Presentation of Financial Statements.

Balance sheet

Assets and liabilities are presented in liquidity order with assets aggregated into financial assets andnon-financial assets.

Current and non-current assets and liabilities are disclosed in the notes, where relevant. In general, non-currentassets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled more than 12 months after the reporting period,except for the provisions of employee benefits, which are classified as current liabilities if the Institute does nothave the unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liabilities within 12 months after the end of the reportingperiod.

Cash flow statement

Cash flows are classified according to whether or not they arise from operating, investing, or financing activities.This classification is consistent with requirements under AASB 107 Statement of Cash Flows. For cash flowstatement presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents include bank overdrafts, which are included ascurrent borrowings on the balance sheet.

Statement of changes in equity

The statement of changes in equity presents reconciliations of non-owner and owner changes in equity fromopening balances at the beginning of the reporting period to the closing balances at the end of the reportingperiod. It also shows separately changes due to amounts recognised in the ‘Comprehensive result’ and amountsrelated to ‘Transactions with owner in its capacity as owner’.

1.06 Events after reporting date

Assets, liabilities, income or expenses arise from past transactions or other past events. Where the transactionsresult from an agreement between the Institute and other parties, the transactions are only recognised when theagreement is irrevocable at or before balance date. Adjustments are made to amounts recognised in the financialstatements for events which occur after the reporting date and before the date the statements are authorised forissue, where those events provide information about conditions which existed at the reporting date. Notedisclosure is made about events between the reporting date and the date the statements are authorised for issuewhere the events relate to conditions which arose after the reporting date and are considered to be of materialinterest.

1.07 Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Income, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred isnot recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of theasset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount ofGST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in thebalance sheet.

Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows arisingfrom investing and financing activities which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority arepresented as operating cash flow.

Commitments and contingent assets or liabilities are presented on a gross basis.

1.08 Income from transactions

Income is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the entity and theincome can be reliably measured at fair value. Amounts disclosed as income are, where applicable, net ofreturns, allowances and duties and taxes. Revenue is recognised for each of the Institute’s major activities asfollows:

Government contributions

Government contributions are recognised as revenue in the period when the Institute gains control of thecontributions. Control is recognised upon receipt or notification by relevant authorities of the right to receive acontribution for the current period.

Sales of goods and services

(i) Student fees and charges

Student fees and charges revenue is recognised by reference to the percentage of services provided. Wherestudent fees and charges revenue has been clearly received in respect of courses or programs to be delivered inthe following year, any non-refundable portion of the fees is treated as revenue in the year of receipt and thebalance as Revenue in Advance.

(ii) Fee for Service

Fee for service revenue is recognised by reference to the percentage completion of each contract, i.e. in thereporting period in which the services are rendered. Where fee for service revenue of a reciprocal nature hasbeen clearly received in respect of programs or services to be delivered in the following year, such amounts aredisclosed as Revenue in Advance.

(iii) Revenue from sale of goods

Revenue from sale of goods is recognised by the Institute when:

(a) the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer;(b) the Institute retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with

ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;(c) the amount of revenue can be reliably measured;(d) it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Institute; and(e) the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Interest

Interest income includes interest received on bank term deposits and other investments and the unwinding overtime of the discount on financial assets. Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method whichallocates the interest over the relevant period.

Net realised and unrealised gains and losses on the revaluation of investments do not form part of income fromtransactions, but are reported either as part of income from other economic flows in the net result or asunrealised gains or losses taken directly to equity, forming part of the total change in net worth in thecomprehensive result.

Other income

(i) Rental income

Rental income is recognised on a time proportional basis and is brought to account when the Institute's right toreceive the rental is established.

Fair value of assets and services received free of charge or for nominal consideration.

Contributions of resources received free of charge or for nominal consideration are recognised at their fair valuewhen the transferee obtains control over them, irrespective of whether restrictions or conditions are imposed overthe use of the contributions. Contributions in the form of services are only recognised when a fair value can bereliably determined and the services would have been purchased if not received as a donation.

1.09 Expenses from transactions

Expenses from transactions are recognised as they are incurred, and reported in the financial year to which theyrelate.

Employee benefits

Expenses for employee benefits are recognised when incurred, except for contributions in respect of definedbenefit plans.

Retirement benefit obligations

(i) Defined contribution plan

Contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed when they become payable.

(ii) Defined benefit plans

The amount charged to the Comprehensive Operating Statement in respect of superannuation represents thecontributions made by the Institute to the superannuation plan in respect of current services of current Institutestaff. Superannuation contributions are made to the plans based on the relevant rules of each plan.

The Institute does not recognise any deferred liability in respect of the plan(s) because the Institute has no legalor constructive obligation to pay future benefits relating to its employees; its only obligation is to paysuperannuation contributions as and when they fall due. The Department of Treasury and Finance recognisesand discloses the State's defined benefit liabilities in its finance report.

Depreciation and amortisation

Depreciation is provided on property, plant and equipment, including freehold buildings but excluding land.Depreciation is generally calculated on a straight-line basis, at rates that allocate the asset's value, less anyestimated residual value, over its estimated useful life. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the periodof the lease or estimated useful life, whichever is the shorter, using the straight-line method. The estimated usefullives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period, andadjustments made where appropriate.

Depreciation methods and rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:

Class of Asset Method Rate (s)Buildings Straight Line 1.5 - 3.0%Plant & equipment Straight Line & Diminishing Value 4.0 - 44%Motor vehicles Straight Line & Diminishing Value 20%Library collections Straight Line 20 - 33%Leasehold improvements Straight Line 2.5 - 7.5%Land improvements Straight Line 2.0 - 10%

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate on an annual basis.

Amortisation

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised on a straight line basis over the assets useful lives. Amortisationbegins when the asset is available for use, that is, when it is in the location and condition necessary for it to becapable of operating in the manner intended by management. The amortisation period and the amortisationmethod for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each annual reportingperiod. In addition, an assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether there are indicators thatthe intangible asset concerned is impaired. If so, the assets concerned are tested as to whether their carryingvalue exceeds their recoverable amount.

Intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment, and are amortised on astraight-line basis over their useful lives as follows:

Useful lifeCapitalised software development cost (years) 5 - 10

Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortised. The useful life of intangible assets that are not beingamortised are reviewed each period to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support anindefinite useful life assessment for that asset. In addition, the Institute tests all intangible assets with indefinitelives for impairment by comparing its recoverable amount with its carrying amount:

(a) annually; and(b) whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired.

Any excess of the carrying amount over the recoverable amount is recognised as an impairment loss.

Interest Expense

Interest expense is recognised in the period in which it is incurred.

Interest expense includes interest on advances, loans, overdrafts, bonds and bills, deposit, interest componentsof finance lease repayments, and amortisation of discounts or premiums in relation to borrowings.

Grants and other transfers

Grants and other transfers to third parties are recognised as an expense in the reporting period in which they arepaid or payable.

Fair value of assets and services provided free of charge or for nominal consideration

Resources provided free of charge or for nominal consideration are recognised at their fair value when theInstitute obtains control over them, irrespective of whether these contributions are subject to restrictions orconditions over their use. Contributions in the form of services are only recognised when a fair value can bereliably determined and the services would have been purchased if not received as a donation.

1.10 Other economic flows included in net result

Other economic flows measure the change in volume or value of assets or liabilities that do not result fromtransactions.

Net gain/(loss) on non-financial assets

Disposal of non-financial assets

Any gain or loss on disposal of non-financial assets is recognised at the date control of the asset is passed to thebuyer and is determined after deducting from the proceeds the carrying value of the asset at the time.

Impairment of non-financial assets

Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives (and intangible assets not yet available for use) aretested annually for impairment (i.e. as to whether their carrying value exceeds their possible recoverable amountand so require write downs).

All other assets are assessed annually for indications of impairment, except for:

• Inventories;

• Financial assets;

• Investment property that is measured at fair value; and

• Non-current assets held-for-sale.

If there is an indication of impairment, the assets concerned are tested as to whether their carrying value exceedstheir possible recoverable amount. Where an asset's carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount, thedifference is written off by a charge to the Comprehensive Operating Statement, except to the extent that thewrite down can be debited to an asset revaluation reserve amount applicable to that class of asset.

If there is an indication that there has been a change in the estimate of an asset’s recoverable amount since thelast impairment loss was recognised, the carrying amount shall be increased to its recoverable amount. Thisreversal of the impairment loss occurs only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed thecarrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss hadbeen recognised in prior years.

It is deemed that, in the event of the loss or destruction of an asset, the future economic benefits arising from theuse of the asset will be replaced unless a specific decision to the contrary has been made.

The recoverable amount for most assets is measured at the higher of depreciated replacement cost and fairvalue less costs to sell. Recoverable amount for assets held primarily to generate net cash flows is measured atthe higher of the present value of future cash flows expected to be obtained from the asset and fair value lesscosts to sell. It is deemed that, in the event of the loss of an asset, the future economic benefits arising from theuse of the asset will be replaced unless a specific decision to the contrary has been made.

Net gain/(loss) on financial instruments

Net gain/(loss) on financial instruments includes realised and unrealised gains and losses from revaluations offinancial instruments that are designated at fair value through profit or loss or held-for-trading, impairment andreversal of impairment for financial instruments at amortised cost, and disposals of financial assets.

Revaluations of financial instruments at fair value

The revaluation gain/(loss) on financial instruments at fair value excludes dividends or interest earned onfinancial assets, which is reported as part of income from transactions.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets have been assessed for impairment in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards. Wherea financial asset's fair value at balance date has reduced by 10 per cent or more than its cost price; or where itsfair value has been less than its cost price for a period of 3 or more months, the financial instrument is treated asimpaired.

Bad and doubtful debts are assessed on a regular basis. Those bad debts considered as written off by mutualconsent are classified as a transaction expense. The allowance for doubtful receivables and bad debts not writtenoff by mutual consent are adjusted as ‘other economic flows’.

Other gains/(losses) from other economic flows

Other gains/(losses) from other economic flows include the gains or losses from reclassifications of amounts fromreserves and/or accumulated surplus to net result, and from the revaluation of the present value of the longservice leave liability due to changes in the bond interest rates.

This classification is consistent with the whole government reporting format and is allowed under AASB 101Presentation of Financial Statements.

1.11 Financial instruments

Financial instruments arise out of contractual agreements that give rise to a financial asset of one entity and afinancial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

Categories of non-derivative financial instruments

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are financial instrument assets with fixed and determinable payments that are not quotedon an active market. These assets are initially recognised at fair value plus any directly attributable transactioncosts. Subsequent to initial measurement, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using theeffective interest method, less any impairment.

Loans and receivables category includes cash and deposits (refer to Note 1.10), term deposits with maturitygreater than three months, trade receivables, loans and other receivables, but not statutory receivables.

1.12 Financial assets

Cash and deposits

Cash and deposits, including cash equivalents, comprise cash on hand and cash at bank, deposits at call andthose highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less, which are held for the purpose ofmeeting short term cash commitments rather than for investment purposes, and which are readily convertible toknown amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

For cash flow statement presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents includes bank overdrafts, which areincluded as borrowings on the balance sheet.

Receivables

Receivables consist of:

• statutory receivables, which include predominantly amounts owing from the Victorian Government and GSTinput tax credits recoverable; and

• contractual receivables, which include debtors in relation to goods and services, loans to third parties,accrued investment income, and finance lease receivables

Receivables that are contractual are classified as financial instruments. Statutory receivables are not classified asfinancial instruments.

Receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, using theeffective interest method, less an allowance for impairment.

A provision for doubtful receivables is made when there is objective evidence that the debts may not be collectedand bad debts are written off when identified.

Investments and other financial assets

Investments are classified in the following categories:

• financial assets at fair value through profit or loss;

• loans and receivables;

• held to maturity investments; and

• available-for-sale financial assets.

Wodonga Institute of TAFE31 December 2016

Page 81: Wodonga Institute of TAFE - Parliament of Victoria · 2017-05-23 · WodongaTAFE 87McKoyStreet,WestWodonga,Vic3690 POBox963,WodongaVic3689 1300698233 Publishedby WodongaInstituteofTAFE

The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Management determines theclassification of its investments at initial recognition.

Any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset is recognised in the consolidated comprehensive operatingstatement as a transaction.

Impairment of financial assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Institute assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financialasset or group of financial assets is impaired. Objective evidence includes financial difficulties of the debtor,default payments, debts which are more than 60 days overdue, and changes in debtor credit ratings. All financialinstrument assets, except those measured at fair value through profit or loss, are subject to annual review forimpairment.

Bad and doubtful debts for financial assets are assessed on a regular basis. Those bad debts considered aswritten off by mutual consent are classified as a transaction expense. Bad debts not written off by mutual consentand the allowance for doubtful receivables are classified as ‘other economic flows’ in the net result.

The amount of the allowance is the difference between the financial asset’s carrying amount and the presentvalue of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate.

In assessing impairment of statutory (non-contractual) financial assets, which are not financial instruments,professional judgement is applied in assessing materiality using estimates, averages and other computationalmethods in accordance with AASB 136 Impairment of Assets.

1.13 Leases

A lease is a right to use an asset for an agreed period of time in exchange for payment.

Leases are classified at their inception as either operating or finance leases based on the economic substance ofthe agreement so as to reflect the risks and rewards incidental to ownership. Leases of property, plant andequipment are classified as finance infrastructure leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially allthe risks and rewards of ownership from the lessor to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operatingleases.

Finance leases

Institute as lessee

At the commencement of the lease term, finance leases are initially recognised as assets and liabilities atamounts equal to the fair value of the lease property or, if lower, the present value of the minimum leasepayment, each determined at the inception of the lease. The lease asset is accounted for as a non-financialphysical asset. If there is certainty that the Institute will obtain ownership of the lease asset by the end of thelease term, the asset shall be depreciated over the useful life of the asset. If there is no reasonable certainty thatthe lessee will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the asset shall be fully depreciated over the shorterof the lease term and its useful life.

Minimum finance lease payments are apportioned between reduction of the outstanding lease liability, andperiodic finance expense which is calculated using the interest rate implicit in the lease and charged directly tothe comprehensive operating statement. Contingent rentals associated with finance leases are recognised as anexpense in the period in which they are incurred.

Operating leases

Institute as lessor

Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

All incentives for the agreement of a new or renewed operating lease are recognised as an integral part of the netconsideration agreed for the use of the leased asset, irrespective of the incentive’s nature or form or the timing ofpayments.

Wodonga Institute of TAFE31 December 2016

In the event that lease incentives are given to the lessee, the aggregate cost of incentives are recognised as areduction of rental income over the lease term, on a straight-line basis unless another systematic basis is morerepresentative of the time pattern over which the economic benefit of the leased asset is diminished.

Institute as lessee

Operating lease payments, including any contingent rentals, are recognised as an expense in the comprehensiveoperating statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is morerepresentative of the time pattern of the benefits derived from the use of the leased asset. The leased asset is notrecognised in the balance sheet.

All incentives for the agreement of a new or renewed operating lease are recognised as an integral part of the netconsideration agreed for the use of the leased asset, irrespective of the incentives nature or form or the timing ofpayments.

1.14 Non-Financial Assets

Inventories

Inventories include goods and other property held either for sale or for distribution at a zero or nominal cost, or forconsumption in the ordinary course of business operations.

Inventories held-for-distribution are measured at cost, adjusted for any loss of service potential. All otherinventories, including land held for sale, are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Whereinventories are acquired for no cost or nominal consideration, they are measured at current replacement cost atthe date of acquisition.

Cost, includes an appropriate portion of fixed and variable overhead expenses. Cost is assigned to a land heldfor sale (undeveloped, under development, developed) and to other high value, low volume inventory items on aspecific identification of cost basis. Cost for all other inventory is measured on the basis of weighted averagecost.

The basis used in assessing loss of service potential for inventories held-for-distribution include currentreplacement cost and technical or functional obsolescence. Technical obsolescence occurs when an item stillfunctions for some or all of the tasks it was originally acquired to do, but no longer matches existing technologies.Functional obsolescence occurs when an item no longer functions the way it did when it was first acquired.

Non-financial physical assets classified as held-for-sale, including disposal group assets

Non-financial physical assets (including disposal group assets) are treated as current and classified as held forsale if their carrying amount will be recovered through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use.

This condition is regarded as met only when:

• the asset is available for immediate use in the current condition; and

• the sale is highly probable and the asset’s sale is expected to be completed within twelve months from thedate of classification.

These non-financial physical assets, related liabilities and financial assets are measured at the lower of carryingamount and fair value less costs to sell, and are not subject to depreciation or amortisation.

Property, plant and equipment

All non-financial physical assets, are measured initially at cost and subsequently revalued at fair value lessaccumulated depreciation and impairment. Where an asset is received for no or nominal consideration, the costis the asset’s fair value at the date of acquisition.

The initial cost for non-financial physical assets under a finance lease is measured at amounts equal to the fairvalue of the leased asset or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments, each determined at theinception of the lease.

Non-financial physical assets such as national parks, other Crown land and heritage assets are measured at fairvalue with regard to the property’s highest and best use after due consideration is made for any legal orconstructive restrictions imposed on the asset, public announcements or commitments made in relation to theintended use of the asset. Theoretical opportunities that may be available in relation to the asset are not takeninto account until it is virtually certain that the restrictions will no longer apply.

The fair value of cultural assets and collections, heritage assets and other non-financial physical assets that theState intends to preserve because of their unique historical, cultural or environmental attributes, is measured atthe replacement cost of the asset less, where applicable, accumulated depreciation (calculated on the basis ofsuch cost to reflect the already consumed or expired future economic benefits of the asset) and any accumulatedimpairment. These policies and any legislative limitations and restrictions imposed on their use and/or disposalmay impact their fair value.

The fair value of infrastructure systems and plant, equipment and vehicles, is normally determined by referenceto the asset’s depreciated replacement cost, or where the infrastructure is held by a for-profit entity, the fair valuemay be derived from estimates of the present value of future cash flows. For plant, equipment and vehicles,existing depreciated historical cost is generally a reasonable proxy for depreciated replacement cost because ofthe short lives of the assets concerned.

The cost of constructed non-financial physical assets includes the cost of all materials used in construction, directlabour on the project, and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overheads.

For the accounting policy on impairment of non-financial physical assets, refer to Note 1.09 on Impairment ofnon-financial assets.

Library collections

The Library collections are valued at fair value.

Leasehold improvements

The cost of a leasehold improvements is capitalised as an asset and depreciated over the remaining term of thelease or the estimated useful life of the improvements, whichever is the shorter.

Restrictive nature of cultural and heritage assets, Crown land and infrastructures

Certain agencies hold cultural assets, heritage assets, Crown land and infrastructure, which are deemed worthyof preservation because of the social rather than financial benefits they provide to the community. Consequently,there are certain limitations and restrictions imposed on their use and/or disposal.

Revaluations of non-financial physical assets

Non-financial physical assets measured at fair value are revalued in accordance with Financial ReportingDirections (FRDs) issued by the Minister for Finance. A full revaluation normally occurs every five years, basedupon the asset’s government purpose classification, but may occur more frequently if fair value assessmentsindicate material changes in values. Independent valuers are generally used to conduct these scheduledrevaluations. Revaluation increases or decreases arise from differences between an asset’s carrying value andfair value.

Net revaluation increases (where the carrying amount of a class of assets is increased as a result of arevaluation) are recognised in ‘other economic flows - other comprehensive income’, and accumulated in equityunder the asset revaluation surplus. However, the net revaluation increase is recognised in the net result to theextent that it reverses a net revaluation decrease in respect of the same class of property, plant and equipmentpreviously recognised as an expense (other economic flows) in the net result.

Net revaluation decrease is recognised in ‘other economic flows - other comprehensive income’ to the extent thata credit balance exists in the asset revaluation surplus in respect of the same class of property, plant andequipment. Otherwise, the net revaluation decreases are recognised immediately as other economic flows in thenet result. The net revaluation decrease recognised in ‘other economic flows - other comprehensive income’reduces the amount accumulated in equity under the asset revaluation surplus.

Revaluation increases and revaluation decreases relating to individual assets within a class of property, plant andequipment are offset against one another within that class but are not offset in respect of assets in differentclasses. The asset revaluation surplus is not transferred to accumulated funds on derecognition of the relevantasset.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. Subsequently, intangible assets with finite useful lives arecarried at cost less accumulated depreciation/amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Costs incurredsubsequent to initial acquisition are capitalised when it is expected that additional future economic benefits willflow to the Institute.

When recognition criteria AASB 138 Intangible Assets are met, internally generated intangible assets arerecognised and measured at cost less accumulated depreciation/amortisation and impairment.

Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which It is incurred.

An internally-generated intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of an internalproject) is recognised if, and only if, all of the following are demonstrated:

(a) the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;

(b) the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;

(c) the ability to use or sell the asset;

(d) the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;

(e) the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and touse or sell the intangible asset; and

(f) the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

Where no internally-generated intangible asset can be recognised, development expenditure is recognised as anexpense in the period as incurred.

Prepayments

Prepayments represent payments in advance of receipt of goods and services or that part of expenditure made inone accounting period covering a term extending beyond that period.

1.15 Liabilities

Payables

Payables consist of:

• contractual payables, such as accounts payable, and unearned income including deferred income fromconcession arrangements. Accounts payable represent liabilities for goods and services provided to theInstitute prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid, and arise when the Institute becomes obliged tomake future payments in respect of the purchase of those goods and services; and

• statutory payables, such as goods and services tax and fringe benefits tax payables.

Contractual payables are classified as financial instruments and categorised as financial liabilities at amortisedcost. Statutory payables are recognised and measured similarly to contractual payables, but are not classified asfinancial instruments and not included in the category of financial liabilities at amortised cost, because they do notarise from a contract.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Institute has a present obligation, the future sacrifice of economic benefits isprobable, and the amount of the provision can be measured reliably.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the presentobligation at reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where aprovision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is thepresent value of those cash flows.

Employee benefits

Provision is made for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and longservice leave for services rendered to the reporting date.

(i) Wages and salaries, and annual leave

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits for annual leave, are all recognised in theprovision for employee benefits as 'current liabilities', because the Institute does not have an unconditional rightto defer settlements of these liabilities.

Depending on the expectation of the timing of settlement, liabilities for wages and salaries, annual leave and sickleave are measured at:

• undiscounted value - if the Institute expects to wholly settle within 12 months; or

• present vale - if the Institute does not expect to wholly settle within 12 months.

(ii) Long service leave

Liability for long service leave (LSL) is recognised in the provision for employee benefits.

Unconditional LSL is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements as a current liability, even where theInstitute does not expect to settle the liability within 12 months because it will not have the unconditional right todefer the settlement of the entitlement should an employee take leave within 12 months.

The components of the current LSL liability are measured at :

• nominal value (undiscounted value) - component that is expected to be wholly settled within 12 months; and

• present value (discounted value) - component that is not expected to be wholly settled within 12 months.

Conditional LSL is disclosed a non-current liability. There is an unconditional right to defer the settlement of theentitlement until the employee has completed the requisite years of service. This non-current LSL liability ismeasured at present value.

Wodonga Institute of TAFE31 December 2016

Page 86: Wodonga Institute of TAFE - Parliament of Victoria · 2017-05-23 · WodongaTAFE 87McKoyStreet,WestWodonga,Vic3690 POBox963,WodongaVic3689 1300698233 Publishedby WodongaInstituteofTAFE

Any gain or loss following revaluation of the present value of non-current LSL liability is recognised as atransaction, except to the extent that a gain or loss arises due to changes in bond interest for which it is thenrecognised as an other economic flow.

(iii) Termination benefits

Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated before the normal retirement date, or when anemployee decides to accept an offer of benefits in exchange for termination of employment. The Instituterecognises termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to either terminating the employment ofcurrent employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal or providing terminationbenefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Benefits falling due more than 12months after balance sheet date are discounted to present value.

Employee benefits on-costs

Provision for on-costs such as payroll tax, workers compensation and superannuation are recognised separatelyfrom the provision of employee benefits.

Performance Payments

Performance payments for the Institute's Executive Officers are based on a percentage of the annual salarypackage provided under the contract of employment. A liability is provided for under the term of the contracts atreporting date and paid out in the next financial year.

Financial liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised costusing the effective interest rate method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires.

Financial guarantees

Payments that are contingent under financial guarantee contracts are recognised as a liability at the time theguarantee is issued. The liability is initially measured at fair value, and if there is a material increase in thelikelihood that the guarantee may have to be exercised, then it is measured at the higher of the amountdetermined in accordance with AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and theamount initially recognised less cumulative amortisation, where appropriate.

The fair value of financial guarantee contracts has been assessed using the probability weighted discounted cashflow approach. The probability has been based on:

• the likelihood of the guaranteed party defaulting in a year’s period;

• the proportion of the exposure that is not expected to be recovered due to the guaranteed party defaulting;and

• the maximum loss exposed if the guaranteed party were to default.

1.16 Commitments

Commitments for future expenditure include operating and capital commitments arising from contracts. Thesecommitments are disclosed by way of note at their nominal value and inclusive of the GST payable. In addition,where it is considered appropriate and provides additional relevant information to users, the net present values ofsignificant individual projects are stated. These future expenditures cease to be disclose as commitments oncethe related liabilities are recognised on the balance sheet.

1.17 Contingent assets and contingent liabilities

Contingent assets and contingent liabilities are not recognised in the balance sheet, but are disclosed by way of anote (refer to Note 18) and, if quantifiable, are measured at nominal value. Contingent assets and liabilities arepresented inclusive of the GST receivable or payable respectively.

1.18 Equity

Contributed capital

Funding that is in the nature of contributions by the Victorian State government are treated as contributed capitalwhen designated in accordance with UIG Interpretation 1038 Contribution by Owners Made to Wholly-OwnedPublic Sector Entities. Commonwealth capital funds are not affected and are treated as income.

Transfers of net assets arising from administrative restructurings are treated as distributions to or contributions byowners. Transfers of net liabilities arising from administrative restructurings are treated as distribution to owners.

1.20 Materiality

In accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 108 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates andError, when an Australian Accounting Standard specifically applies to a transaction, other event or condition, theaccounting policies applied to that item shall be determined by applying the Standard, unless the effect ofapplying them is immaterial.

Accounting policies will be considered material if their omission or misstatement could, either individually orcollectively, influence the economic decisions that users make on the basis of the financial statements. Materialitydepends on the size and nature of the omission or misstatement judged in the surrounding circumstances.

1.21 Rounding of amounts

Amounts in the financial report have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise stated.

1.22 Comparative information

When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes inpresentation for the current financial year.

1.23 Change in accounting policy

Subsequent to the 2015 reporting period, the following new and revised accounting standards have beenadopted in the current period and are considered to have insignificant impact on the financial reporting.

• AASB 14 Regulatory Deferral Accounts:

AASB 14 permits first-time adopters of Australian Accounting Standards who conduct rate-regulated activities tocontinue to account for amounts related to rate regulation in accordance with their previous GAAP.

However, the assessment has indicated that there is no expected impact, as those that conduct rate-regulatedactivities have already adopted Australian Accounting Standards.

• AASB 2014-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Clarification of Acceptable Methods ofDepreciation and Amortisation [AASB 116 & AASB 138]

However, the assessment has indicated that there is no expected impact as the revenue-based method is notused for depreciation and amortisation.

• AASB 2014-9 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Equity Method in Separate FinancialStatements [AASB 1, 127 & 128]

However, the assessment indicates that there is no expected impact as the entity will continue to account for theinvestments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates using the cost method as mandated if separatefinancial statements are presented in accordance with FRD 113A.

1.24 New and revised AASBs on issue but not yet effective

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not effective for the 31December 2016 reporting period.

As at 31 December 2016 the following standards and interpretations (applicable to the Institute) had been issuedbut were not effective for financial year ending 31 December 2016. The Institute has not, and does not intend to,adopt these standards early.

The key changes include thesimplified requirements for theclassification and measurement offinancial assets, a new hedgingaccounting model and a revisedimpairment loss model torecognise impairment lossesearlier, as opposed to the currentapproach that recognisesimpairment only when incurred.

1-Jan-2018 The assessment has identified thatthe financial impact of available forsale (AFS) assets will now bereported through othercomprehensive income (OCI) and nolonger recycled to the profit and loss.

AASB 16 Leases The key changes introduced byAASB 16 include the recognitionof most operating leases (whichare currently not recognised) onbalance sheet.

1-Jan-2019 The assessment has indicated thatas most operating leases will comeon balance sheet, recognition oflease assets and lease liabilities willcause net debt to increase.

1-Jan-2018 The assessment has indicated thatthere is limited impact, as therevisions to AASB 10 and AASB 128are guidance in nature.

AASB 2015‑ 6Amendments toAustralianAccountingStandards –Extending RelatedParty Disclosures toNot-for-Profit PublicSector Entities

The Amendments extend thescope of AASB 124 Related PartyDisclosures to not-for-profit publicsector entities. A guidance hasbeen included to assist theapplication of the Standard bynot-for-profit public sector entities.

1-Jul-2016 The amending standard will result inextended disclosures on the entity'skey management personnel (KMP),and the related party transactions.

AASB 2016 -4Amendments toAustralianAccounting

The standard amends AASB 136Impairment of Assets to removereferences to using depreciatedreplacement cost (DRC) as ameasure of value in use fornot-for-profit entities.

1-Jan-2017 The assessment has indicated thatthere is minimal impact. Given thespecialised nature and restrictions ofpublic sector assets, the existing useis presumed to be the highest andbest use (HBU), hence currentreplacement cost under AASB 13Fair Value Measurement is the sameas the depreciated replacement costconcept under AASB 136.

There were no transfers between Levels during the year.

(d) Valuations of Property, Plant and Equipment

Fair value assessments have been performed at 31 December 2016 for all classes of assets. This assessmentdemonstrated that fair value was materially similar to carrying value, and therefore a full revaluation was notrequired this year. The next scheduled full revaluation for this purpose will be conducted in 2017.

Non specialised land, non specialised buildings and artworks

Non specialised land, non specialised buildings and artworks are valued using the market approach. Under thisvaluation method, the assets are compared to recent comparable sales or sales of comparable assets which areconsidered to have nominal or no added improvement value.

For non specialised land and non specialised buildings, an independent valuation was performed by independentvaluers, the Valuer General of Victoria to determine the fair value using the market approach. Valuation of theassets was determined by analysing comparable sales and allowing for share, size, topography, location andother relevant factors specific to the asset being valued. From the sales analysed, an appropriate rate per squaremetre has been applied to the subject asset. The effective date of the valuation is 31 December 2012, and isscheduled for revaluation in 2017.

To the extent that non specialised land, non specialised buildings and artworks do not contain significant,unobservable adjustments, these assets are classified as Level 2 under the market approach.

Specialised land and specialised buildings

The market approach is also used for specialised land, although is adjusted for the community service obligation(CSO) to reflect the specialised nature of the land being valued.

For the majority of the Institute’s specialised buildings, the depreciated replacement cost method is used,adjusting for the associated depreciations. As depreciation adjustments are considered as significant,unobservable inputs in nature, specialised buildings are classified as Level 3 fair value measurements.

An independent valuation of the Institute's specialised land and specialised buildings was performed by theValuer General Victoria on 31 December 2012.

Vehicles

Vehicles are valued using the depreciated replacement cost method. The Institute acquires new vehicles and attimes disposes of them before the end of their economic life. The process of acquisition, use and disposal in themarket is managed by experienced fleet managers in the Institute who set relevant depreciation rates during useto reflect the utilisation of the vehicles.

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment is held at fair value. When plant and equipment is specialised in use, such that it is rarelysold other than as part of a going concern, fair value is determined using the depreciated replacement costmethod.

There were no changes in valuation techniques throughout the period to 31 December 2016.

For all assets measured at fair value, the current use is considered the highest and best use.

Note 20 Superannuation

Employees of the Institute are entitled to receive superannuation benefits and the Institute contributes to bothdefined benefit and defined contribution plans. The defined benefit plan(s) provides benefits based on years ofservice and final average salary.

The Institute does not recognise any defined benefit liability in respect of the plan(s) because the entity has nolegal or constructive obligation to pay future benefits relating to its employees; its only obligation is to paysuperannuation contributions as they fall due. The Department of Treasury and Finance recognises anddiscloses the State’s defined benefit liabilities in its financial statements.

However, superannuation contributions paid or payable for the reporting period are included as part of employeebenefits in the Comprehensive Operating Statement of the Institute.

Note 21 Financial instruments

(i) Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Institute’s principal financial instruments comprise cash assets, term deposits, receivables (excludingstatutory receivables), payables (excluding statutory payables).

Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basisof measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, in respect of each class offinancial asset, financial liability and equity instrument is disclosed in Note 1 of the financial statements.

The Institute's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk,interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

The Institute's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks tominimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Institute. The Institute uses differentmethods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis inthe case of interest rate, foreign exchange and other price risks, ageing analysis for credit risk.

Risk management is carried out by a central treasury unit with the Finance function of the Institute under policiesapproved by the Board. The Treasury Unit identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close co-operationwith the Group’s operating units. The Board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well aspolicies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivativefinancial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment of excess liquidity.

Credit risk arises from the contractual financial assets of the Institute, which comprise cash and deposits,non-statutory receivables, available-for-sale contractual financial assets and derivative instruments. TheInstitute’s exposure to credit risk arises from the potential default of a counter party on their contractualobligations resulting in financial loss to the Institute.

Credit risk is measured at fair value and is monitored on a regular basis by the finance committee. The financecommittee monitors credit risk by actively assessing the rating quality and liquidity of counterparties:

• all potential customers are rated for credit worthiness taking into account their size, market position andfinancial standing; and

• customers that do not meet the Institute’s strict credit policies may only purchase in cash or using recognisedcredit cards.

The Institute does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or group of receivablesunder financial instruments entered into by the Institute.

The trade receivables balance at 31 December 2016 and 31 December 2015 do not include any counterpartieswith external credit ratings. Customers are assessed for credit worthiness using the criteria detailed above.

The Institute minimises credit risk in relation to student loans receivable in the following ways:

If a student is unable to make an upfront payment, the student is referred to the Student Services department todetermine if other grants or subsidies are available or if there exists other options for other financial assistancesuch as Vet Fee Help, Centrelink or other community assistance, otherwise a recommendation is made fordeferment of upfront payments via a Direct Debit Request Service Agreement.

The conditions of the Service Agreement is a twelve month period as agreed between the student (or student’sguarantor if under the legal age) or the shorter period if the course is to be completed over a period of less thantwelve months. If insufficient funds exist for the direct debit, the Institute has the right to charge a fee. Anychanges to the agreement must be in writing with 14 days notice. In addition the Institute does not engage inhedging for its contractual financial assets and mainly obtains contractual financial assets that are on fixedinterest, except for cash assets, which are mainly cash at bank.

The Institute’s policy is to only deal with banks with high credit ratings.

Provision of impairment for contractual financial assets is recognised when there is objective evidence that theInstitute will not be able to collect a receivable. Objective evidence includes financial difficulties of the debtor,default payments, debts which are more than 60 days overdue, and changes in debtor credit ratings.

The carrying amount of contractual financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any allowancesfor losses, represents the Institute’s maximum exposure to credit risk without taking account of the value of anycollateral obtained.

There are no material financial assets which are individually determined to be impaired. Currently the Institutedoes not hold any collateral as security nor credit enhancements relating to any of its financial assets.

There has been no significant change in the Institute's exposure, or its objectives, policies and processes formanaging credit risk or the methods used to measure this risk from the previous reporting period.

(iii) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Institute would be unable to meet its financial obligations as and when they falldue. The Institute operates under a payments policy of settling financial obligations within 30 days and in theevent of a dispute, making payments within 30 days from the date of resolution.

The Institute’s maximum exposure to liquidity risk is the carrying amounts of financial liabilities as disclosed in theface of the balance sheet and the amounts related to financial guarantees disclosed in Note 18.

The responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board, which has built an appropriate liquidity riskmanagement framework for the management of the short, medium and long-term funding and liquidityrequirements. The Institute manages liquidity risk by:

• maintaining an adequate level of reserves and uncommitted funds that can be drawn at short notice to meetits short-term obligations;

• holding investments and other contractual financial assets that are readily tradeable in the financial markets;and

• careful maturity planning of its financial obligations by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets andliabilities, and continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows.

The Institute’s exposure to liquidity risk is deemed insignificant based on prior periods’ data and currentassessment of risk. Cash for unexpected events is generally sourced from reserves.

There has been no significant change in the Institute's exposure, or its objectives, policies and processes formanaging liquidity risk or the methods used to measure this risk from the previous reporting period.

Maturity analysis of financial liabilities

The carrying amount detailed in the following table of contractual financial liabilities recorded in the financialstatements, represents the Institute's maximum exposure to liquidity risk.

(iv) Market risk

The Institute in its daily operations is exposed to a number of market risks. Market risks relate to the risk thatmarket rates and prices will change and that this will have an adverse affect on the operating result and/or networth of the Institute. e.g. an adverse movement in interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates.

The Institute’s exposures to market risk are primarily through foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and equityprice risk. Objectives, policies and processes used to manage each of these risks are disclosed below.

The Board ensures that all market risk exposure is consistent with the Institute's business strategy and within therisk tolerance of the Institute. Regular risk reports are presented to the Board.

There has been no significant change in the Institute's exposure, or its objectives, policies and processes formanaging market risk or the methods used to measure this risk from the previous reporting period.

Foreign currency risk

The Institute is exposed to foreign currency risk mainly through the delivery of services in currencies other thanthe Australian Dollar. This risk is managed by natural hedging where possible.

There has been no significant change in the Institute's exposure, or its objectives, policies and processes formanaging foreign currency risk or the methods used to measure this risk from the previous reporting period.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk arises from the potential for a change in interest rates to change the expected net interestearnings in the current reporting period and in future years, or cause a fluctuation in the fair value of the financialinstruments.

Fair value interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changesin market interest rates. The Institute does not hold any interest bearing financial instruments that are measuredat fair value, and therefore has no exposure to fair value interest rate risk.

Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because ofchanges in market interest rates. The Institute has minimal exposure to cash flow interest rate risk through itscash and deposits that are at floating rate.

The Institute manages cash flow interest rate risk through a mixture of short term and longer term investments,and undertaking fixed rate or non-interest bearing financial instruments with relatively even maturity profiles, withonly insignificant amounts of financial instruments at floating rate. Management monitors movement in interestrates on a monthly basis.

There has been no significant change in the Institute's exposure, or its objectives, policies and processes formanaging interest rate risk or the methods used to measure this risk from the previous reporting period.

Interest rate movements have not been sufficiently significant during the year to have an impact on the Institute'syear end result.

The Institute's exposure to interest rate risks and the effective interest rates of financial assets and financialliabilities are set out in the financial instrument composition and maturity analysis table below.

Equity price risk

There has been no significant change in the Institute's exposure, or its objectives, policies and processes formanaging price risk or the methods used to measure this risk from the previous reporting period.

Sensitivity analysis and assumptions

The Institute’s sensitivity to market risk is determined based on the observed range of actual historical data forthe preceding five year period, with all variables other than the primary risk variable held constant. The Institute’sfund managers cannot be expected to predict movements in market rates and prices. Sensitivity analyses shownare for illustrative purposes only. The following movements are ‘reasonably possible’ over the next 12 months:

• a movement of 50 basis points up and down (2015: 50 basis points up and down) in market interest rates(AUD);

The following tables show the impact on the Institute’s net result and equity for each category of financialinstrument held by the Institute at the end of the reporting period as presented to key management personnel, ifthe above movements were to occur.

(v) Funding risk

Funding risk is the risk of over reliance on a particular funding source to the extent that a change in that fundingsource could impact on the operating result for the current year and future years.

The Institute manages funding risk by continuing to diversify and increase funding from Commercial activities,both domestically and off shore.

There has been no significant change in the Institute's exposure, or its objectives, policies and processes formanaging funding risk or the methods used to measure this risk from the previous reporting period.

(vi) Fair value estimation

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement orfor disclosure purposes.

The Institute considers that the carrying amount of trade receivables and payables is a reasonable approximationof their fair values due to the short-term nature of trade receivables and payables.

Due to the short-term nature of the current receivables, their carrying value is assumed to approximate their fairvalue, and based on credit history it is expected that the receivables that are neither past due nor impaired will bereceived when due.

For other assets and other liabilities the fair value approximates their carrying value. Financial assets where thecarrying amount exceeds fair values have not been written down as the Institute intends to hold these assets tomaturity.
