Data Centre Services Financial Statements 158 22 DISCLOSING THE IMPACT OF ADOPTING AASB EQUIVALENTS TO IASB PRONOUNCEMENTS At this point in time the Data Centre Services is managing the transition through a project team formed within Department of Corporate and Information Services. Treasury, through its accounting policy branch, will identify and communicate changes required to Treasurers Directions and future reporting requirements. At this stage the likely key differences in accounting policy are anticipated to be: Impairment Testing Under the Australian equivalent of IAS 36 Impairment of Assets the recoverable amount of an asset is determined as the higher of net selling price and value in use. This will result in a change in the Data Centre Services current accounting policy as currently under AAS10 the recoverable amounts test does not apply to not-for profit entities. Revenue Rules governing grants provided to entities to be altered from a reciprocal/nonreciprocal approach to encompass in substance agreements whereby income in certain circumstances can be matched over the period the service is provided rather than treated as revenue in the year of receipt. The future financial effects of the above changes in accounting policy cannot be reliably estimated at this stage.
