Financial Instruments A financial instrument is a contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. Financial instruments held by NT Fleet include cash and deposits, receivables, payables and finance leases. NT Fleet has limited exposure to financial risks as discussed below. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS A financial instrument is a contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. Financial assets and liabilities are recognised on the Balance Sheet when NT Fleet becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. NT Fleets financial instruments include cash and deposits; receivables; advances; investments loan and placements; payables; advances received; borrowings and derivatives. Due to the nature of operating activities, certain financial assets and financial liabilities arise under statutory obligations rather than a contract. Such financial assets and liabilities do not meet the definition of financial instruments as per AASB 132 Financial Instruments Presentation. These include statutory receivables arising from taxes including GST and penalties. Exposure to interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk, credit risk, price risk and liquidity risk arise in the normal course of activities. NT Fleets investments, loans and placements, and borrowings are predominantly managed through the Northern Territory Treasury Corporation (NTTC) adopting strategies to minimise the risk.
