The difference between the original budget and total appropriated primarily relates to increased Commonwealth grants ($0.812m) for National Education Reform (Students First), Joint Group Training and Industry and Indigenous Skills Centres National Partnerships and funding transferred from 2012-13 ($10.478m).  The funding transferred from 2012-13 is mainly due to late receipt of Commonwealth funding for VET Training Skills Reform, Support for Students with Disabilities and Literacy and Numeracy National Partnerships in 2012-13 combined with the timing of course completions associated with the Productivity Places Program National Partnership and funding allocated to the MAZE Schools Information Communication Technology (ICT) system upgrade.

Capital Injections

The difference between the original budget and the total appropriated relates to new funding for Coombs Pâ€'6 Primary School through a 2nd appropriation ($7.460m), increased Commonwealth payments for the Trade Training Centres National Partnership ($1.104m) and the transfer of funds from 2012-13 ($20.126m).  The transfer of funds from 2012-13 primarily relates to late receipt of Commonwealth funding for Trade Training Centres and delays in completion of scoping and design works for the Holder Early Childhood Centre and Upgrade of Early Childhood Facilities.

Variances between 'Total Appropriated' and 'Appropriation Drawn'

Government Payment for Outputs

The difference between the total appropriated and appropriation drawn relates to lower than budgeted Commonwealth payments ($2.919m) primarily for Universal Access and VET Training Skills Reform National Partnerships and funds transferred to 2014-15 ($21.796m). The transfer of funds into 2014-15 primarily relates to the timing of course completions associated with the Productivity Places Program and VET Training Skills Reform, timing of expenditure associated with More Support for Students with a Disability and Literacy and Numeracy National Partnerships and delays in the commencement of the MAZE schools ICT system upgrade.

Capital Injections

The difference between the total appropriated and appropriation drawn relates to the transfer of funds to 2014-15 ($40.901m).  The transfer of funds primarily relates to the new Coombs P-6 Primary School ($7.460m) due to delays in awarding the construction tender, advance receipt for the Trade Training Centres National Partnership ($6.403m), Sustaining Smart Schools project ($5.6m) due to timing of cash payments, childcare projects ($4.150m) due to delay in finalisation of construction tenders and scope of works and savings in the delivery of Franklin Early Childhood School and Bonner Primary School ($3.5m).

Education and Training Directorate
Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial Statements
For the Year Ended 30 June 2014

Note 1. Objectives of the Directorate
Operations and Principal Activities

The Education and Training Directorate (the Directorate) works in partnership with parents and the community to ensure that all young people in the ACT learn, thrive and are equipped with the skills to lead fulfilling, productive and responsible lives. The Directorate works closely with other government agencies, education and training providers, business and industry to position the ACT as Australia's learning capital.

Services of the Directorate include the provision of public school education and early intervention education programs, regulation of education and care services, registration of non government schools and home education, and the planning and coordination of vocational education and training. High achievement for all students through connected and inclusive learning across all sectors of the education system is achieved through focussing on quality learning, inspirational teaching and leadership, high expectations and high performance, and improvement and innovation in business systems.

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 the Directorate.

The FMA and the Financial Management Guidelines issued under the Act, requires the Directorate's 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 in accordance 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 such as those included in property, plant and equipment and financial instruments which were valued at fair value in accordance with the revaluation policies applicable to the Directorate during the reporting period (refer Note 2(q): Measurement of Property, Plant and Equipment after Initial Recognition).

These financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Directorate's functional currency.

The Directorate is an individual reporting entity.

(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, for example receiving and on passing of grants to non government schools.

The purpose of the distinction between Controlled and Territorial is to enable an assessment of the Directorate's 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 2014 together with the financial position of the Directorate as at 30 June 2014.

(d) Comparative Figures

Budget Figures

To facilitate a comparison with Budget Papers, as required by the Financial Management Act 1996, budget information for 2013-14 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 in respect of the previous period for amounts reported in the financial statements, 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). 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. In addition, specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised. Revenue for user charges is recorded when received with the exception of international private students which is recognised on an accrual basis. Revenue is also recognised from the Active Leisure Centre in the Directorate's books as the Directorate controls the facilities.

Appropriation

Government Payment for Outputs and Payment for Expenses on Behalf of the Territory are recognised as revenues when the Directorate gains control over the funding. Control over appropriated funds is obtained upon the receipt of cash.

Interest

Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate.

Distribution

Distribution revenue is received from investments with the Territory Banking Account. This is recognised on an accrual basis.

Revenue Received in Advance

Revenue received in advance is recognised as a liability if there is a present obligation to return the funds received, otherwise all are recorded as revenue.

(g) Resources Received and Provided Free of Charge

Resources received free of charge are recorded as a revenue and as an 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. Assets received free of charge as a result of administrative restructure are recorded as a net increase in assets from administrative restructure.

(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 relate to finance leases. 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 Financial Management Act 1996 are expensed during the year in which the right to payment was waived. Further details of waivers are disclosed in Note 19: Act of Grace Payments, Waivers 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 when the Directorate does not have an unconditional right to defer 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. 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 asset's 'fair value less costs of disposal' and its 'value in use'. An asset's 'value in use' is its depreciated replacement cost, where the asset would be replaced if the Directorate were deprived of it.

If a material impairment loss results, the loss is recognised against the relevant class of asset in the Asset Revaluation Surplus with corresponding reduction to the carrying amount in the Balance Sheet. Where the impairment loss is greater than the balance in the Asset Revaluation Surplus, the difference is expensed in the Operating Statement.

(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. Directorate money held in the Territory Banking Account Cash Fund is classified as a Cash Equivalent.  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 and are included as borrowings in the Balance Sheet.

(n)  Receivables

Accounts receivable (including trade receivables and other 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.

The allowance for impairment losses represents the amount of trade receivables and other trade receivables the Directorate estimates will not be repaid. The allowance for impairment losses is based on objective evidence and a review of overdue balances. The Directorate considers the following is objective evidence of impairment:

The amount of the allowance is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Cash flows relating to short-term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial. The amount of the allowance is recognised in the Operating Statement.

(o) Investments

Short-term investments are held with the Territory Banking Account in a unit trust called the Cash Enhanced Portfolio. Long-term investments are held with the Territory Banking Account in a unit trust called the Fixed Interest Portfolio. The price of units in both these unit trusts fluctuates in value. The net gains or losses do not include interest or dividend income.

These short-term and long-term investments are measured at fair value with any adjustments to the carrying amount recorded in the Operating Statement. Fair value is based on an underlying pool of investments which have quoted market prices at the reporting date.

(p) Acquisition and Recognition of Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment is initially recorded at cost when they acquired.

Where property, plant and equipment are 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 transferor's book value.

Property, plant and equipment with a minimum value of $5,000 (exclusive of GST) are capitalised. Assets below $5,000 are expensed in the reporting period of purchase. Assets that are individually below the threshold, but for which the aggregate value is material, may be capitalised depending on the nature of the assets.

(q) Measurement of Property, Plant and Equipment after Initial Recognition

Land, buildings and improvements to land are measured at fair value. Plant and equipment including leasehold improvements are measured at cost. Land and buildings are revalued every three years.

Fair value is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is measured using the market approach, the cost approach or the income approach valuation techniques as appropriate. In estimating the fair value of an asset or liability, the Directorate takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

Fair value for land and non-specialised buildings is measured using the market approach valuation technique. This approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or similar assets. Fair value for specialised assets is measured using the cost approach that reflects the cost to construct a comparable asset.

(r) Intangible Assets

Internally generated software is recognised when it meets the general recognition criteria and where it also meets the specific recognition criteria relating to intangible assets arising from the development phase of an internal project.

Capitalised software has a finite useful life. Software is amortised on a straight line basis over its useful life, over a period not exceeding five years.

Intangible assets are measured at cost.

(s) Depreciation and Amortisation of Non-Current Assets

Non-current assets with a limited useful life are systematically depreciated or amortised over their useful lives in a manner that reflects the consumption of their service potential.

Land has an unlimited useful life and is therefore not depreciated.

Depreciation or amortisation for non-current assets is determined as follows:

Class of AssetDepreciation/AmortisationUseful Life (Years)
Buildings and Improvements to LandStraight Line50
Community and Heritage AssetsStraight Line22
Leasehold ImprovementsStraight Line5
Plant and EquipmentStraight Line2-20
Leased AssetsStraight Line2-20
Externally Purchased IntangiblesStraight Line2-5

The aggregate amount of depreciation and amortisation allocated for each class of asset during the reporting period is disclosed in Note 15 – Depreciation and Amortisation.

(t) Payables

Payables include Trade Payables and Accrued Expenses.

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.

(u) Joint Venture

The Directorate is a venturer in a joint venture operation with the Catholic Education Office at Gold Creek Primary School and its share of assets, liabilities, income and expenses have been recognised in the Directorate's financial statements under appropriate headings consistent with AASB 131 'Interests in Joint Ventures (for not-for-profit entities)'. Refer to Note 38 – Interest in a Jointly Controlled Entity for details.

(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 Directorate's finance leases mainly relate to office equipment and motor vehicles. 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. Assets under finance lease are depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and lease term. Assets under finance lease are depreciated on a straight line basis. The depreciation is calculated after first deducting any residual values which remain for each leased asset. 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 the entire 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

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.

Wages and Salaries

Accrued salaries and wages are measured at the amount that remains unpaid to employees at the end of the reporting period.

Annual and Long Services Leave

Annual and long service leave including applicable on-costs that are not expected to be wholly settled before twelve months after the end of the reporting period when the employees render the related service are measured at the present value of estimated future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period. Consideration is given to the future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. At the end of each reporting period, the present value of annual leave and long service leave payments is estimated using market yields on Commonwealth Government bonds with terms to maturity that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash flows.

Annual leave liabilities have been estimated on the assumption that they will be wholly settled within three years.  In 2013-14 the rate used to estimate the future payments is 100.9%.

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 of qualifying service, a probability that employees will reach the required minimum period has been taken into account in estimating the provision for long service leave and applicable on-costs. In 2013-14, the rate used to estimate the present value of future payments for long service leave is 103.5% (101.3% in 2012-13).

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 a probability factor has been incorporated.

The significant judgements and assumptions included in the estimation of annual and long service leave liabilities are determined by an actuary. The Australian Government Actuary performed an assessment in May 2014 with the next review expected in 2019. Further information about this estimate is provided in Note 2 (ac) – Significant Accounting Judgements and Estimates.

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. Conditional long service leave liabilities are classified as non-current because the Directorate has an unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability until the employee has completed the requisite years of service.

(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 Directorate's 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 employee's 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 employee's 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 employee's 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 employee's anniversary date, and multiplying it by the appropriate employer contribution rate. Superannuation payments for fund of choice arrangements are calculated by taking an employee's salary each pay and multiplying it by the appropriate employer contribution rate.

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.

(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

The Directorate insures its major risks through the ACT Insurance Authority. The excess payable, under this arrangement, varies depending on each class of insurance held.

(aa) Taxation

The Directorate's activities are exempt from all forms of taxation except Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) and Goods and Services Tax (GST). The amount of FBT paid in the year was $0.058 million ($0.073 million; 2012-13). This amount is in the Operating Statement under employee expenses.

Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of GST except to the extent that the amount of GST incurred by the purchaser is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office.

Cash flows relating to GST are included in the Cash Flow Statement on a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities that are recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Taxation Office are classified as operating cash flows. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Taxation Office is included as part of receivables or payables in the Balance Sheet.

(ab) Contingent Liabilities and Assets

Contingent liabilities include all provisions not meeting both of the recognition criteria of a liability. These criteria are: whether it is probable that the future sacrifice of economic benefits will be required; and whether the amount of the liability can be measured reliably. Contingent assets include any assets that do not meet both of the recognition criteria for an asset. These criteria are: whether it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied in the asset will eventuate: and the asset possesses a cost or other value that can be measured reliably. The contingent liabilities are disclosed in Note 37 – Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. There are no contingent assets in 2013-14.

(ac) 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:

  1. Fair Value of Land and Buildings: The Directorate has made a significant estimate regarding the fair value of its land and buildings based on an independent valuer's assessment in relation to the valuation techniques, inputs and processes. Refer Note 2(q) – Measurement of Property, Plant and Equipment after Initial Recognition and Note 24 – Property, Plant and Equipment.
  2. Employee Benefits: Significant judgements have been applied in estimating the liability for employee benefits. The estimated liability for annual and long service leave requires a consideration of the future wages and salary levels, experience of employee departures, probability that leave will be taken in service 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 and Note 3(a) – Change in Accounting Policy and Accounting Estimates.
  3. Estimation of Useful Lives of Property, Plant and Equipment: The Directorate disclosed in Note 24 – Property, Plant and Equipment that Property, Plant and Equipment is systematically depreciated over its estimated useful life. The estimated useful life of Property, Plant and Equipment is reassessed each year and adjusted when the condition and other factors affecting the useful life of Property, Plant and Equipment indicate an adjustment is warranted.
  4. Impairment: The Directorate disclosed that Property, Plant and Equipment is annually assessed for impairment. If this assessment indicates an asset is impaired, then an assessment of the asset's recoverable amount must be estimated to determine whether an impairment loss must be recognised. For 2013-14, the Directorate has undertaken an assessment in relation to the school buildings utilised. The Directorate's impairment policy states that schools buildings used at less than 65% capacity are impaired. An adjustment is reflected in the financial statements if the overall impairment is material. There has been no adjustment for impairment in 2013-14.
(ad) After Balance Date Events

There are no known events occurring after 30 June 2014 that will materially affect the financial statements.

(ae) Going Concern

As at 30 June 2014, the Directorate's current liabilities ($146.6 million) exceed its current assets ($75.8 million) by $70.8 million.  However, this is not considered a liquidity risk as its cash needs are funded through appropriation from the ACT Government on a cash-needs basis. This is consistent with the wholeâ€'ofâ€'government cash management regime, which requires excess cash balances to be held centrally rather than within individual Directorate bank accounts. The Directorate does not consider this a liquidity risk as cash needs are funded through appropriation from the ACT Government on a needs basis.

(af) Impact of Accounting Standards Issued But Yet To Be Applied

The following new and revised accounting standards and interpretations that are applicable to the Directorate 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. It is expected that AASB 1055 Budgetary Reporting (application date 1 July 2014) will have a material impact in terms of disclosure requirements relating to variance explanation against budget.

It is estimated that the effect of adopting the below pronouncements, when applicable, will have no material financial impact on the Directorate in future reporting periods:

Note 3. Change in Accounting Policy and Accounting Estimates and Correction of a Prior Period Error
(a)  Change in Accounting Estimates

As disclosed in Note 2 (w) – Employee Benefits, annual leave and long service leave, including applicable onâ€'costs that 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 Commonwealth Bond rate. 

Last financial year the rate used to estimate the present value of future long service leave and annual leave payments was 101.3% for long service leave and 100.0% for annual leave. Due to a change in the Commonwealth Bond rate at 30 June 2014, the rate for 2013-14 is 103.5% for long service leave and 100.9% for annual leave. As such the estimate of the long service leave and annual leave liabilities has changed. This change has resulted in an increase to the estimate of the long service leave liability and expense in the current reporting period of approximately $2.028 million and an increase to the estimate of the annual leave liability and expense in the current reporting period of approximately $0.280 million.

As disclosed in Note 24 – Property, Plant and Equipment the Directorate revalued its Land, Buildings, Improvements to Land and Community and Heritage assets in 2013-14. This review resulted in the adjustment to the useful lives and residual value of some assets.

(b) Change in Accounting Policy

There have been no changes to accounting policy in 2013-14.

(c)  Correction of Prior Period Errors

There were no corrections of prior period errors in 2013-14.

The Directorate has used the exemption under AASB 13.C3 'Fair Value Measurement' that comparative information for periods before initial application of the standard need not be applied. 

Transfers Between Categories

There have been no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the reporting period.

Valuation Techniques, Inputs and Processes

Level 2 Valuation Techniques and Inputs

Valuation Technique: The valuation technique used to value land and buildings is the market approach that reflects recent transaction prices for similar properties and buildings (comparable in location and size). 

Inputs: Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving comparable land and buildings were considered. Regard was taken of the Crown Lease terms and tenure, The Australian Capital Territory Plan and the National Capital Plan, where applicable, as well as current zoning.

Level 3 Valuation Techniques and Inputs

Valuation Technique: Land where there is no active market or significant restrictions is valued through the market approach which values a selection of land with similar approximate utility.

Valuation Technique: Buildings, improvements to land and community and heritage assets were considered specialised assets by the valuers and measured using the cost approach that reflects the cost to a market participant to construct assets of comparable utility adjusted for obsolescence. For Buildings, historical cost per square metre of floor area was also used in measuring fair value.

Inputs: In determining the value of land with similar approximate utility significant adjustment to market based data was required.

Inputs: In determining the value of buildings, improvements to land and community and heritage assets regard was given to the age and condition of the assets, their estimated replacement cost and current use. This required the use of data internal to the Education and Training Directorate.

There has been no change to the above valuation techniques during the year.

Transfers in and out of a fair value level are recognised on the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer.

  1. Cash and cash equivalents have been included in the 'Unallocated' column above as this class cannot be reliably attributed to the Directorate's output classes. As the amount in cash and cash equivalents held by the Directorate is comprised of a number of disparate components, no single allocation driver can be used to reliably attribute this asset class. The components include working capital, cash for un-presented cheques and for specific purpose payments. 
Note 35. Financial Instruments

Details of the significant policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement, 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's financial assets consist of cash and cash equivalents, investments and receivables and its financial liabilities are comprised of payables and finance leases. The Directorate's maximum exposure to interest rate risk relating to these financial assets and liabilities is shown below in the table later in this note on 'Maturity Analysis and Exposure to Interest Rates'.

As receivables and payables are held in non-interest bearing arrangements and finance leases are held in fixed interest arrangements, the Directorate is not exposed to movements in interest rates in respect of these financial assets and liabilities.

A significant proportion of the Directorate's financial assets consist of cash and cash equivalents. As these are held in floating interest arrangements with the Territory's Banking Provider, the Directorate is exposed to movements in the amount of interest it may earn on cash and cash equivalents.

As the Directorate's operating cash flows are not significantly dependant on interest earned from cash and cash equivalents, a sensitivity analysis of interest rate risk has not been performed.

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.

Financial assets consist of cash, investments and receivables. The Directorate's maximum exposure to credit is limited to the amount of these financial assets net of any allowance made for impairment. This is shown below in the table 'Maturity Analysis and Exposure to Interest Rates'.

Cash and investment accounts are held with high credit quality financial institutions under whole of government banking arrangements. Cash at the bank is held with the Westpac Bank and cash not immediately required is invested with the Territory Banking Account. The Chief Minister, Treasury and Economic Development Directorate coordinates the investment of this money with various fund managers. These fund managers have the discretion to invest money in a variety of different investments within certain parameters.

Credit risk for investments is managed by the Directorate through only investing with the Territory Banking Account, which has appropriate investment criteria for the external fund manager engaged to manage the Territory's surplus funds and therefore the credit risk is considered low.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Directorate will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due.

The Directorate's maximum exposure to liquidity risk is shown below in the table later in this note on 'Maturity Analysis and Exposure to Interest Rates'. This note discloses when the Directorate expects its financial assets and financial liabilities to mature.

Appropriations received to fund operations are drawn down progressively throughout the year to meet the operating requirements. Under the cash management framework, the Directorate cannot hold excess cash, however, in the event of cash pressure, access to additional appropriation can be obtained from the Territory Banking Account.

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 price (other than arising from interest rate risk or currency risk).

The only price risk which the Directorate is exposed to results from its investments in the Fixed Interest and Cash Enhanced Portfolio. The Directorate has units in the Fixed Interest Portfolio that fluctuate in value. The price fluctuations in the units of the Fixed Interest Portfolio are caused by movements in the underlying investments of the portfolio. To limit price risk, all bonds that make up the underlying investments of the Fixed Interest Portfolio must have a long term credit rating.

Cash and cash equivalents do not have a price risk.

The Directorate's exposure to price risk and the management of this risk has not significantly changed since last reporting period. A sensitivity analysis has not been undertaken for the price risk of the Directorate as it has been determined that the possible impact on profit and loss or total equity from fluctuations in price is immaterial.

Currency Risk

Currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes to foreign currency rates.

The Directorate is not exposed to currency risk as all of its transactions are conducted in Australian dollars.

Unrecognised Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

There were no unrecognised financial assets and liabilities.

Maturity Analysis and Exposure to Interest Rates

The following tables set out the Directorate's maturity analysis for financial assets and liabilities as well as the exposure to interest rates, including the weighted average interest rates by maturity period as at 30 June 2014. Except for non-current payables, financial assets and liabilities which have a floating interest rate or are non-interest bearing will mature in 1 year or less. All amounts appearing in the following maturity analysis are shown on an undiscounted cash flow basis.

The Directorate does not hold any collateral as security relating to financial assets.

  2. The difference between the total appropriatedand appropriation drawn mainly relates to actual Commonwealth grants on-passed to non government schools being below the original Commonwealth Budget Estimates ($0.578m) and the rollover of funds to 2014-15 for the Interest Subsidy Scheme ($1.974m) due to lower interest rates and finalisation of loans under the scheme and Supporting Non Government Preschools program ($0.700m) as grant recipients are yet to be finalised.

Note 47. Financial Instruments

Details of the significant policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement, 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 financial assets held by the Directorate on behalf of the Territory consist of cash and cash equivalents and receivables and its financial liabilities are comprised of payables.  As cash, receivables and payables are held in non-interest bearing arrangements, the Directorate on behalf of the Territory is not exposed to movements in interest rates in respect of these financial assets and liabilities, as shown in the table 'Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities'.

As the Territory's operating cash flows are not dependant on interest earned from cash and cash equivalents, a sensitivity analysis of interest rate risk has not been performed.

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. Receivables generally relate to either Commonwealth, ACT or non government agencies which have strong credit histories. Credit risk is therefore considered to be low.

Financial assets consist of cash and receivables.  This is shown below in the table 'Maturity Analysis and Exposure to Interest Rates'.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Directorate on behalf of the Territory will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due.

Expenses on behalf of the Territory appropriations are drawn down progressively throughout the year to meet operating requirements.  In the event of cash pressure, access to additional funding may be obtained from the Territory Banking Account.

Price Risk

Price risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market price.

The Directorate on behalf of the Territory is not exposed to price risk as its financial assets, consisting of cash and receivables are not affected by movements in market price.

Currency Risk

Currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes to foreign currency rates.

The Directorate on behalf of the Territory is not exposed to currency risk as all of its transactions are made in Australian dollars.

Unrecognised Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

There were no unrecognised financial assets and liabilities.
