(d) Rollover of undisbursed 2011-12 appropriation, mainly related to undrawn capital works funding for
projects supporting land release and for sporting infrastructure projects, where the works had largely been
progressed in 2011-12 but where the timing of invoicing required access to appropriation in 2012-13.
(e) Largely relates to business and events initiative and capital works funding which was not drawn, mainly due
to revisions in the timing of payments, where the works and programs had largely been progressed but where
the timing of invoicing required access to appropriation in the following year. The funds were rolled over to
2013-14 through the 2013-14 Budget.
(f) Mostly due to capital works funding that was not drawn (in the areas of land release and community and
sporting infrastructure) in 2012-13. This was largely due to the timing of payments, which reflect an
expectation that these will be made in 2013-14 and the forward years, and in the main part, do not reflect a
delay in project delivery. The funding was rolled over to 2013-14 through the 2013-14 Budget. In addition, the
undrawn amount includes savings related to the cancellation of the Mitchell - Sandford Street Extension to the
Federal Highway capital works project which was no longer required to support the land release program,
following variations in the scheduled release of Kenny ($12.6m) and the savings achieved in delivery of the
John Gorton Drive Extension project ($2m).

ANNUAL REPORT 2012-13
Economic Development Directorate
Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial Statements
For the Year Ended 30 June 2013
Hidden words
NOTE 1. OBJECTIVES OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTORATE
The primary purpose of the Economic Development Directorate (the Directorate) is to work with the business
community in relation to economic development and business support programs and to design and deliver the
Government's land release program. The Directorate will lead the ACT and Capital Region tourism industry to
create and implement a variety of marketing and development programs. The Directorate also provides
gambling and racing policy advice and legislative support.
The Directorate will facilitate access to a range of sporting and recreation activities by managing sporting
programs, venues, sportsgrounds and community events.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of Accounting
The Financial Management Act 1996 (FMA) requires the preparation of annual financial statements for
ACT Government agencies.
The FMA and the Financial Management Guidelines issued under the Act requires the Directorates financial
statements to include:
i. an Operating Statement for the year;
ii. a Balance Sheet at the end of the year;
iii. a Statement of Changes in Equity for the year;
iv. a Cash Flow Statement for the year;
v. a Statement of Appropriation for the year;
vi. an Operating Statement for each class of output for the year;
vii. a summary of the significant accounting policies adopted for the year; and
viii. such other statements as are necessary to fairly reflect the financial operations of the Directorate
during the year and its financial position at the end of the year.
These general-purpose financial statements have been prepared to comply with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (GAAP) as required by the FMA. The financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with:
i. Australian Accounting Standards; and
ii. ACT Accounting and Disclosure Policies.
The financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, which recognises the
effects of transactions and events when they occur. The financial statements have also been prepared
according to the historical cost convention, except for assets which were valued in accordance with the
revaluation policies applicable to the Directorate during the reporting period.
These financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Directorates functional currency.
The Directorate is an individual reporting entity.

Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial Statements
For the Year Ended 30 June 2013

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
(b) Controlled and Territorial Items
The Directorate produces Controlled and Territorial financial statements. The Controlled financial statements
include income, expenses, assets and liabilities over which the Directorate has control. The Territorial financial
statements include income, expenses, assets and liabilities that the Directorate administers on behalf of the
ACT Government, but does not control.
The purpose of the distinction between Controlled and Territorial is to enable an assessment of the
Directorates performance against the decisions it has made in relation to the resources it controls, while
maintaining accountability for all resources under its responsibility.
The basis of accounting described in Note 2(a) above applies to both Controlled and Territorial financial
statements except where specified otherwise.
(c) The Reporting Period
These financial statements state the financial performance, changes in equity and cash flows of the Directorate
for the year ending 30 June 2013 together with the financial position of the Directorate as at 30 June 2013.
(d) Comparative Figures
Budget Figures
To facilitate a comparison with Budget Papers, as required by the Financial Management Act 1996, budget
information for 2012-13 has been presented in the financial statements. Budget numbers in the financial
statements are the original budget numbers that appear in the Budget Papers.
Prior Year Comparatives
Comparative information has been disclosed except where an Australian Accounting Standard does not require
comparative information to be disclosed.
Where the presentation or classification of items in the financial statements is amended, the comparative
amounts have been reclassified where practical. Where a reclassification has occurred, the nature, amount
and reason for the reclassification is provided.
(e) Rounding
All amounts in the financial statements have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($000). Tables
and notes may not add due to rounding. Use of the - symbol represents zero amounts or amounts rounded
up or down to zero.
(f) Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable in the Operating Statement.
All revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the
Directorate and the revenue can be reliably measured. The Directorates main sources of revenue are
Government Payments for Output (see Note 4) and User Charges (see Note 5). In addition, the following
specific recognition criteria must be met before revenue is recognised:

(f) Revenue Recognition - Continued
Government Payment for Outputs
Government Payment for Outputs is recognised as revenue at the time the payment is received by the
Directorate.
Sale of Goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods
have transferred to the buyer, the Directorate retains neither continuing managerial involvement nor effective
control over the goods sold and the costs incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
Rendering of Services
Revenue from the rendering of services is recognised when the stage of completion of the transaction at the
reporting date can be measured reliably and the costs of rendering those services can be measured reliably.
Interest
Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method.
Fees
Fees are recognised as revenue at the time of payment or when a legal entitlement to the revenue exists.
(g) Resources Received and Provided Free of Charge
Resources received free of charge are recorded as a revenue and expense in the Operating Statement at fair
value. The revenue is separately disclosed under resources received free of charge, with the expense being
recorded in the line item to which it relates.
Goods and services received free of charge from ACT Government agencies are recorded as resources received
free of charge, whereas goods and services received free of charge from entities external to the
ACT Government are recorded as donations. Services that are received free of charge are only recorded in the
Operating Statement if they can be reliably measured and would have been purchased if not provided to the
Directorate free of charge.
Resources provided free of charge are recorded at their fair value in the expense line items to which they
relate.
(h) Repairs and Maintenance
The Directorate undertakes major cyclical maintenance on its assets. Where the maintenance leads to an
upgrade of the asset, and increases the service potential of the existing asset, the cost is capitalised.
Maintenance expenses which do not increase the service potential of the asset are expensed.
(i) Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

(j) Waivers of Debt
Debts that are waived during the year under Section 131 of the FMA are expensed during the year in which the
right to payment was waived. Further details of waivers are disclosed at Note 18: Waivers, Impairment Losses
and Write-offs.
(k) Current and Non-Current Items
Assets and liabilities are classified as current or non-current in the Balance Sheet and in the relevant notes.
Assets are classified as current where they are expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting
date. Liabilities are classified as current when they are due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting
date or the Directorate does not have an unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least
12 months after the reporting date.
Assets or liabilities which do not fall within the current classification are classified as non-current.
(l) Impairment of Assets
The Directorate assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is any indication that an asset may be
impaired. Assets are also reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the carrying amount may not be recoverable. However, intangible assets that are not yet available for use are
tested annually for impairment regardless of whether there is an indication of impairment, or more frequently
if events or circumstances indicate they might be impaired.
Any resulting impairment losses, for infrastructure assets, buildings, leasehold improvements, intangible and
community and heritage assets, are recognised as a decrease in the Asset Revaluation Surplus relating to these
classes of assets. Where the impairment loss is greater than the balance in the Asset Revaluation Surplus for
the relevant class of asset, the difference is expensed in the Operating Statement. Impairment losses for plant
and equipment are recognised in the Operating Statement. Also, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced
to its recoverable amount.
An impairment loss is the amount by which the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount is the higher of the assets fair value less cost to sell and its value in use. An assets
value in use is its depreciated replacement cost, where the asset would be replaced if the Directorate were
deprived of it. Non-financial assets that have previously been impaired are reviewed for possible reversal of
impairment at each reporting date.
(m) Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purposes of the Cash Flow Statement and the Balance Sheet, cash includes cash at bank and cash on
hand. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known
amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Bank overdrafts are
included in cash and cash equivalents in the cash flow statement but not in the cash and cash equivalents line
on the Balance Sheet.

(n) Investment
The Territory holds an equal investment with Australian Capital Ventures Limited (ACVL) in the Canberra
Business Development Fund (CBDF). The CBDF is a unit trust whose principal activity is to invest in the equity
of early stage businesses carrying out activities providing potential benefits to the Canberra Region. This
investment is accounted for as a Territorial investment (see Note 46).
The investment has been designated as a Financial Asset at Fair Value through Profit and Loss. This asset is
measured at fair value with any adjustments to the carrying amount going to the Statement of Income and
Expenses on Behalf of the Territory. Fair value is based on net assets attributable to the Directorate as a unit
holder of the trust. The net assets are based on the current share market price for investments in publicly
listed entities. Fair value of investments in unlisted entities is determined by recent arms length transactions
for a reasonable quantity of securities (e.g. security issue or transfer) or by valuation provided by the directors
of the CBDF if the book value of the entity is deemed inappropriate.
(o) Receivables
Accounts receivable (including trade receivables) are initially recognised at fair value and are subsequently
measured at amortised cost, with any adjustments to the carrying amount being recorded in the Operating
Statement.
Trade receivables arise in the normal course of selling goods and services to other agencies and to the public.
Trade receivables are payable within 30 days after the issue of an invoice or the goods/services have been
provided under a contractual arrangement.
The allowance for impairment losses represents the amount of trade receivables and other trade receivables
that the Directorate estimates will not be paid. The Directorate determines the allowance for impairment
losses based on objective evidence and a review of balances within receivables that are unlikely to be
collected. The Directorate considers the following is objective evidence of impairment:
. debts more than 60 days overdue; or
. identified disputed invoices.
The allowance for impairment losses is written-off against the receivables account when the Directorate
ceases action to collect the debt, as it considers that it will cost more to recover the debt than the debt is
worth.
(p) Inventories
Inventories held for sale are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises the purchase
price of inventories as well as transport, handling and other costs directly attributable to the acquisition of
inventories. Trade discounts, rebates and other similar items are deducted in determining the costs of
purchase. The cost of inventories is assigned using the first-in, first-out method.
Net realisable value is determined using the estimated sales proceeds less costs incurred in marketing, selling
and distribution to customers.
Inventories held for distribution are measured at cost, adjusted when applicable, for any loss of service
potential.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
(q) Acquisition and Recognition of Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment is initially recorded at cost. Cost includes the purchase price, directly
attributable costs and the estimated cost of dismantling and removing the item (where, upon acquisition,
there is a present obligation to remove the item).
Where property, plant and equipment is acquired at no cost, or minimal cost, cost is its fair value as at the
date of acquisition. However property, plant and equipment acquired at no cost or minimal cost as part of a
restructuring of administrative arrangements is measured at the transferors book value.
Where payment of property, plant and equipment is deferred beyond normal credit terms, the difference
between its cash price equivalent and the total payment is measured as interest over the period of credit. The
discount rate used to calculate the cash price equivalent is an asset specific rate.
The Directorate capitalises all non-current physical assets with a value of $5,000 or more. If a certain category
of physical asset (i.e. desktops, printers, faxes, etc) is considered material because of the volume and nature of
the assets purchased, then even though the individual cost of these assets may be less than $5,000 they are
still capitalised and recorded as an asset in the Balance Sheet.
(r) Measurement of Property, Plant and Equipment after Initial Recognition
Property, plant and equipment is valued using the cost or revaluation model of valuation. Land, buildings,
infrastructure assets, plant and equipment and community and heritage assets are measured at fair value.
Leasehold improvements are measured at cost.
Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged between knowledgeable willing parties in an
arms length transaction. Fair value is measured using market based evidence available for that asset (or a
similar asset), as this is the best evidence of an assets fair value. Where the market price for an asset cannot
be obtained because the asset is specialised and is rarely sold, depreciated replacement cost is used to
estimate fair value.
Fair value for land and buildings is measured using current prices in a market for similar properties in a similar
location and condition.
Fair value for infrastructure assets and some community and heritage assets is measured using depreciated
replacement cost. For other community and heritage assets, fair value is determined using a market price
where there is a market for the same or similar item. Land, buildings, infrastructure assets, plant and
equipment and community and heritage assets are revalued every 3 years. However, if at any time
management considers that the carrying amount of an asset materially differs from its fair value, then the
asset will be revalued regardless of when the last valuation took place. Any accumulated depreciation relating
to buildings, plant and equipment and community and heritage assets at the date of revaluation is written-
back against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of
the asset.
Any accumulated depreciation relating to infrastructure assets is restated proportionally with the change in
the gross carrying amount so that the net carrying amount of those assets after revaluation equals its revalued
amount.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
(r) Measurement of Property, Plant and Equipment after Initial Recognition Continued
The Directorates property, plant and equipment assets (excluding leasehold improvements which are carried
at cost) were re-valued by independent valuers, the Australian Valuation Office and Allbids Liquidity Partners
(Certified Practicing Valuers), as at 30 June 2013.
The cost of leasehold improvements comprises the purchase price and any directly attributable construction
costs.
(s) Intangible Assets
The Directorate's intangible assets comprise externally acquired software for internal use and externally
purchased other intangible assets. Externally acquired software is recognised and capitalised when:
(a) it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the software will flow
to the Directorate;
(b) the cost of the software can be measured reliably; and
(c) the acquisition cost is equal to or exceeds $50,000.
Capitalised software has a finite useful life. Software is amortised on a straight-line basis over its useful life,
over a period not exceeding 5 years.
Externally purchased other intangible assets comprise a licence agreement to occupy the Canberra Business
and Events Centre (CBEC) which is amortised on a straight line basis over a period of 20 years.
Intangible Assets are measured at cost.
(t) Depreciation and Amortisation of Non-Current Assets
Non-current assets with a limited useful life are systematically depreciated/amortised over their useful lives in
a manner that reflects the consumption of their service potential. The useful life commences when an asset is
ready for use. When an asset is revalued, it is depreciated/amortised over its newly assessed remaining useful
life. Amortisation is used in relation to intangible assets while depreciation is applied to physical assets such as
buildings and plant and equipment.
Land, heritage and community assets and some infrastructure assets have an unlimited useful life and are
therefore not depreciated.
Leasehold improvements and motor vehicles under a finance lease are depreciated over the estimated useful
life of each asset improvement, or the unexpired period of the relevant lease, whichever is shorter.
All depreciation is calculated after first deducting any residual values which remain for each asset.

(t) Depreciation and Amortisation of Non-Current Assets Continued
Depreciation/amortisation for non-current assets is determined as follows:
Class of Asset Depreciation / Amortisation Useful Life (Years)
Method
Buildings Straight Line 10 99
Leasehold Improvements Straight Line 3 10
Plant and Equipment Straight Line 2 7
Infrastructure Straight Line 20 100
Intangible Assets Straight Line 5 20
Community and Heritage Straight Line 5 100
Land improvements are included with buildings.
The useful lives of all major assets held are reassessed on an annual basis.
(u) Payables
Payables are a financial liability and are measured at the fair value of the consideration received when initially
recognised and at amortised cost subsequent to initial recognition, with any adjustments to the carrying
amount being recorded in the Operating Statement. All amounts are normally settled within 30 days after the
invoice date.
Payables include Trade Payables, Accrued Expenses and Other Payables.
Trade Payables represent the amounts owing for goods and services received prior to the end of the reporting
period and unpaid at the end of the reporting period and relating to the normal operations of the Directorate.
Accrued Expenses represent goods and services provided by other parties during the period that are unpaid at
the end of the reporting period and where an invoice has not been received by period end.
Other Payables are those unpaid invoices that do not directly relate to the normal operations of the
Directorate.
(v) Leases
The Directorate has entered into finance leases and operating leases.
Finance Leases
Finance leases effectively transfer to the Directorate substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to
ownership of the assets under a finance lease. The title may or may not eventually be transferred. Finance
leases are initially recognised as an asset and a liability at the lower of the fair value of the asset and the
present value of the minimum lease payments each being determined at the inception of the lease. The
discount rate used to calculate the present value of the minimum lease payments is the interest rate implicit in
the lease. Assets under a finance lease are depreciated over the shorter of the assets useful life or lease term.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
Finance Leases - Continued
Assets under a finance lease are depreciated on a straight-line basis. Each lease payment is allocated between
interest expense and reduction of the lease liability. Lease liabilities are classified as current and non-current.
Operating Leases
Operating leases do not effectively transfer to the Directorate substantially all the risks and rewards incidental
to ownership of the asset under an operating lease. Operating lease payments are recorded as an expense in
the Operating Statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
(w) Employee Benefits
Employee benefits include salaries and wages, annual leave, annual leave loading, long service leave and
applicable on-costs. On-costs include annual leave, long service leave, superannuation and other costs that are
incurred when employees take annual and long service leave. These benefits accrue as a result of services
provided by employees up to the reporting date that remain unpaid. They are recorded as a liability and as an
expense.
Salaries and Wages
Accrued salaries and wages are measured at the amount that remains unpaid to employees at the end of the
reporting period.
Annual and Long Service Leave
Annual leave and long service leave that fall due wholly within the next 12 months is measured based on the
estimated amount of remuneration payable when the leave is taken.
Annual and long service leave including applicable on-costs that do not fall due within the next 12 months are
measured at the present value of estimated future payments to be made in respect of services provided by
employees up to the reporting date. Consideration is given to the future wage and salary levels, experience of
employee departures and periods of service. At each reporting period, the present value of future payments is
calculated using market yields on Commonwealth Government bonds with terms to maturity that match, as
closely as possible, the estimated future cash flows. In 2012-13, the rate used to estimate the present value of
these future payments is 101.3% (106.6% in 2011-12).
The long service leave liability is estimated with reference to the minimum period of qualifying service. For
employees with less than the required minimum period of 7 years qualifying service, the probability that
employees will reach the required minimum period has been taken into account in estimating the provision for
long service leave and the applicable on-costs.
The provision for annual leave and long service leave includes estimated on-costs. As these on-costs only
become payable if the employee takes annual and long service leave while in-service, the probability that
employees will take annual and long service leave while in service has been taken into account in estimating
the liability for on-costs.

(w) Employee Benefits - Continued
Annual and Long Service Leave - Continued
Annual leave and long service leave liabilities are classified as current liabilities in the Balance Sheet where
there are no unconditional rights to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months. However,
where there is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months, annual leave
and long service leave have been classified as a non-current liability in the Balance Sheet.
(x) Superannuation
The Directorate receives funding for superannuation payments as part of the Government Payment for
Outputs. The Directorate then makes payments on a fortnightly basis to the Territory Banking Account, to
cover the Directorates superannuation liability for the Commonwealth Superannuation Scheme (CSS) and the
Public Sector Superannuation Scheme (PSS). This payment covers the CSS/PSS employer contribution, but
does not include the productivity component. The productivity component is paid directly to Comsuper by the
Directorate. The CSS and PSS are defined benefit superannuation plans meaning that the defined benefits
received by employees are based on the employees years of service and average final salary.
Superannuation payments have also been made directly to superannuation funds for those members of the
Public Sector who are part of superannuation accumulation schemes. This includes the Public Sector
Superannuation Scheme Accumulation Plan (PSSAP) and schemes of employee choice.
Superannuation employer contribution payments, for the CSS and PSS, are calculated, by taking the salary level
at an employees anniversary date and multiplying it by the actuarially assessed nominal CSS or PSS employer
contribution rate for each employee. The productivity component payments are calculated by taking the salary
level, at an employees anniversary date, and multiplying it by the employer contribution rate
(approximately 3%) for each employee. Superannuation payments for the PSSAP are calculated by taking the
salary level, at an employees anniversary date, and multiplying it by the appropriate employer contribution
rate. Superannuation payments for fund of choice arrangements are calculated by taking an employees salary
each pay and multiplying it by the appropriate employer contribution rate.
A superannuation liability is not recognised in the Balance Sheet as the Superannuation Provision Account
recognises the total Territory superannuation liability for the CSS and PSS, and Comsuper and the external
schemes recognise the superannuation liability for the PSSAP and other schemes respectively.
The ACT Government is liable for the reimbursement of the emerging costs of benefits paid each year to
members of the CSS and PSS in respect of the ACT Government service provided after 1 July 1989. These
reimbursement payments are made from the Superannuation Provision Account.
(y) Equity Contributed by the ACT Government
Contributions made by the ACT Government, through its role as owner of the Directorate, are treated as
contributions of equity.
Increases or decreases in net assets as a result of Administrative Restructures are also recognised in equity.

(z) Insurance
Major risks are insured through the ACT Insurance Authority. The excess payable, under this arrangement,
varies depending on each class of insurance held.
(aa) Significant Accounting Judgements and Estimates
In the process of applying the accounting policies listed in this note, the Directorate has made the following
judgements and estimates that have the most significant impact on the amounts recorded in the financial
statements:
Impairment of Receivables
Note 2 (o): Receivables discloses that where there is objective evidence that a receivable may not be
collected, an assessment of the likelihood of the recovery of a receivable is required to determine whether an
impairment loss must be recognised.
Measurement of Territorial Investments at Fair Value
Note 2 (n): Investment: The Directorate has invested in shares in the Canberra Business Development Fund
(CBDF), a unit trust jointly-owned by the ACT Government and the private sector with the stated aim of
facilitating business growth through investing in business ventures. The valuation of shares held by the Unit
Trust was made on 30 June 2013.
A financial asset is classified as an investment if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term
or if so designated by management and within the requirements of AASB 139: Financial Instruments:
Recognition and Measurement. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value
of these assets are included in the Statement of Income and Expenses on Behalf of the Territory in the period
in which they arise. The Directors of the trustee company assess the fair value of the investments at each
reporting date by evaluating the conditions specific to the investments of the CBDF. Fair value calculations
performed for unlisted investments incorporate a number of key estimates including revenue forecasts and
industry multipliers.
Measurement of Property, Plant and Equipment at Fair Value
Note 2 (r): Measurement of Property, Plant and Equipment after Initial Recognition. The Directorate has
made significant judgements regarding the fair value of its assets. Land and Buildings have been recorded at
the market value of similar properties as determined by an independent valuer. In some circumstances,
buildings that are purpose built may in fact realise more or less in the market. Infrastructure assets and some
community and heritage assets have been recorded at fair value based on depreciated replacement cost as
determined by an independent valuer. The Directorates property, plant and equipment assets (excluding
leasehold improvements which are carried at cost) were re-valued by independent valuers, the Australian
Valuation Office and Allbids Liquidity Partners, as at 30 June 2013.

Estimate of Useful Lives
The Directorate has made a significant estimate in determining the useful lives of its Property, Plant and
Equipment. The estimation of useful lives of Property, Plant and Equipment has been based on the historical
experience of similar assets. In the revaluation as at 30 June 2013, the valuers also reviewed the estimated
useful lives of all assets being revalued.
The useful lives are assessed on an annual basis and any adjustments are made when considered necessary.
Further disclosure concerning an assets useful life can be found at Note 2 (t): Depreciation and Amortisation
of Non-Current Assets.
Employee Benefits
Note 2 (w): Employee Benefits: Significant judgements have been applied in estimating the liability for
employee benefits. The estimated liability for employee benefits requires a consideration of the future wage
and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. The estimate also includes an
assessment of the probability that employees will meet the minimum service period required to qualify for
long service leave and that on-costs will become payable. Further information on this estimate is provided in
Note 2 (w): Employee Benefits.
(ab) Impact of Accounting Standards Issued but yet to be Applied
The following new and revised accounting standards and interpretations have been issued by the Australian
Accounting Standards Board but do not apply to the current reporting period. These standards and
interpretations are applicable to future reporting periods. The Directorate does not intend to adopt these
standards and interpretations early. Where applicable, these Australian Accounting Standards will be adopted
from their application date. The application date applies to the first reporting period beginning on or after this
date. It is estimated that the effect of adopting the below financial statement pronouncements, when
applicable, will have no material financial impact on the Directorates financial statements in future reporting
periods:
AASB 9 Financial Instruments (application date 1 January 2015);
AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (application date 1 January 2013 for for-profit

NOTE 3. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Change in Accounting Estimates
Revision of Estimation of the Employee Benefit Liability
As disclosed in Note 2(w) Employee Benefits, annual leave and long service leave, including applicable on-
costs, which do not fall due in the next 12 months, are measured at the present value of estimated payments
to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. The present value of future
payments is estimated using the government bond rate.
Last financial year the rate used to estimate the present value of future payments was 106.6%, however, due
to a change in the government bond rate the rate is now 101.3%.
As such the estimate of the long service leave has changed. This change has resulted in a decrease in the
estimate of the long service leave liability and related expenses in the current reporting period of $195,000.

NOTE 4. GOVERNMENT PAYMENT FOR OUTPUTS
Government Payment for Outputs (GPO) is revenue received from the ACT Government to fund the costs of
delivering outputs. The ACT Government pays GPO appropriation on a fortnightly basis.

Revenue from the ACT Government
Government Payment for Outputs
(a)
77,889 65,919
Total Government Payment for Outputs 77,889 65,919
(a) The increase in Government Payment for Outputs in 2012-13 is mainly due to:
The transfer of capital injection to Government Payment for Outputs under Section 14 of the Financial
Management Act 1996. The transfer of appropriation was required to more appropriately reflect the
nature of expenditure for three capital works projects and for the capital injection funds transferred
from the Environment and Sustainable Development Directorate for the Capital Metro project; and
Provision of a Treasurers Advance for the payment to Pace Farm to convert its operations at Parkwood
from cage to barn egg production, for sportsground water cost supplementation due to the warm and
dry summer and autumn season and for the Young Pioneers program; partially offset by
The net impact of transfers from the Environment and Sustainable Development Directorate and to the
Territory and Municipal Services Directorate under Section 16 of the Financial Management Act 1996;
The rollover of capital works funding to 2013-14 for land release feasibility studies and grants to
sporting organisations and business and tourism program funding, mainly due to the timing of
payments; and
The full-year impact of the 2011-12 Administrative Arrangements transfers to the Territory and
Municipal Services Directorate of the National Arboretum Canberra project and the ACT Property Group
and the expiration of the previous agreement with National ICT Australia.

Valuation of Non-Current Assets


ACT Accounting Policy requires that agencies undertake a revaluation at least once every three years. The
majority of the Directorates assets, mainly assets of the sport and recreation function, were revalued as at
30 June 2011 to support the transfer of functions for the Administrative Arrangements of 17 May 2011. The
Directorates property, plant and equipment (excluding leasehold improvements which are carried at cost)
were revalued by independent Certified Practicing Valuers, the Australian Valuation Office and Allbids Liquidity
Partners, as at 30 June 2013. The Directorates Property, Plant and Equipment will next be revalued on or
before 30 June 2016.

NOTE 26. CAPITAL WORKS IN PROGRESS
Capital Works in Progress are assets being constructed over periods of time in excess of the present reporting
period. These assets often require extensive installation work or integration with other assets, and contrast
with simpler assets that are ready for use when acquired, such as motor vehicles and equipment. Capital
Works in Progress are not depreciated as the Directorate is not currently deriving any economic benefits from
them. Assets, which are under construction, include infrastructure assets, buildings,
improvements.

(a) The increase in Capital Works in Progress reflects the ongoing delivery of significant projects largely related
to:
Infrastructure to support land release, for example, the John Gorton Drive Extension and the Clarrie
Hermes Drive Extension;
Community and major sports facilities, such as the Gungahlin Leisure Centre; and
City renewal and community infrastructure works, such as the Canberra CBD Upgrade and the
Narrabundah Longstay Park projects.

NOTE 34. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Details of the significant policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of
measurement, and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, with respect to each class of
financial asset and financial liability are disclosed in Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate
because of changes in market interest rates.
The Directorate is considered to have minimal exposure to interest rate risk because the Directorate only held
one interest-bearing account and interest earnings are variable and immaterial. Finance leases are held in
fixed interest arrangements.
Sensitivity Analysis
A sensitivity analysis has not been undertaken as it is considered that the Directorates exposure to this risk is
insignificant and would have an immaterial impact on its financial results.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the
other party to incur a financial loss. The Directorates credit risk is limited to the amount of the financial assets
it holds net of any allowance for impairment losses. The Directorate expects to collect all financial assets that
are not past due or impaired.
Risk is minimised through placing cash and cash equivalents with the Commonwealth Bank, an established and
reputable banking institution, in accordance with whole of government banking arrangements.
The Directorate manages the credit risk for receivables by regularly monitoring its receivables and issuing
monthly statements to overdue accounts where required. No significant concentration of credit risk has been
identified.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Directorate will be unable to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The
Directorates main external financial obligations relate to the payment of grants, the purchase of supplies and
services and the payment of finance lease obligations. The Directorate aims to pay for the purchase of
supplies and services within 30 days of receiving the goods or services.
The main source of cash to pay these obligations is appropriation from the ACT Government which is paid on a
fortnightly basis during the year, supplemented by internally generated revenue. The Directorate manages its
liquidity risk through forecasting appropriation drawdown requirements to enable payment of anticipated
obligations.

NOTE 34. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - CONTINUED


Price Risk

Price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether these
changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all
similar financial instruments traded in the market.

The Directorate's financial assets are not subject to price risk. Accordingly, a sensitivity analysis has not been
undertaken.

ANNUAL REPORT 2012-13
Economic Development Directorate
Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial Statements
For the Year Ended 30 June 2013
Hidden words
NOTE 47. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS TERRITORIAL
Details of the significant policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of
measurement, and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, with respect to each class of
financial asset and financial liability are disclosed in Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate
because of changes in market interest rates.
The Directorate currently has all of its financial assets and financial liabilities held in non-interest bearing
arrangements. This means that the Directorate is not exposed to any movements in interest rates, and as such
does not have any interest rate risk.
A sensitivity analysis has not been undertaken for the interest rate risk of the Directorate as it is not exposed
to any movements in interest rates.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the
other party to incur a financial loss. The Directorates credit risk is limited to the amount of the financial assets
held less any allowance for losses. The Directorate expects to collect all financial assets that are not past due
or impaired. There is no collateral held as security for financial assets.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Directorate will encounter difficulties in meeting obligations associated with
financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. To limit its exposure to
liquidity risk, the Directorate ensures that, at any particular point in time, it has a sufficient amount of current
financial assets to meet its financial liabilities. Also, where necessary the Directorate has the ability to request
additional appropriation in order to meet its territorial obligations. This ensures the Directorate has enough
liquidity to meet its emerging financial liabilities.
Price Risk
Price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in market prices, whether these changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial
instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market.
The Directorates territorial operations are exposed to price risk through its investment in the Canberra
Business Development Fund. The Canberra Business Development Fund invests in early stage companies that
are commercialising research and development. As a result, there is an inherent risk that the investments will
not realise any returns for the Fund. The Canberra Business Development Fund manages this risk, as
comprehensively as possible, by engaging Australian Capital Ventures Limited to select and oversee the Funds
investments.
