NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFor The Financial Year Ended 30 June 20<strong>10</strong>2.5 Changes in Accounting policyDuring the financial year ended 30 June 20<strong>10</strong> <strong>Parks</strong> <strong>Victoria</strong> changed its Capital Asset Policy, increasingthe capitalisation threshold for recognising plant and equipment. Accordingly plant and equipment witha cost exceeding $5,000 are recognised as an asset at cost (previous threshold: $1,200). In management’sopinion the new capitalisation threshold results in the financial report providing reliable and morerelevant information regarding the <strong>Parks</strong> <strong>Victoria</strong>’s financial position and financial performance.This change aligns with the Department of Sustainability and Environment’s capitalisation thresholdaccounting policy.In accordance with AASB <strong>10</strong>8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, <strong>Parks</strong>Victora has retrospectively applied the new capitalisation threshold in the previous financial year whichresulted in a decrease of $942,000 in the Net assets and total equity as at 1 July 2008 (beginning of thecomparative period 2008/09); and a decrease of $932,000 in the previously reported Net assets and totalequity as at 30 June <strong>2009</strong>. This change also resulted in an increase of the Net results from transactions forthe financial year ended 30 June <strong>2009</strong> of $<strong>10</strong>,000.The following adjustments were made to the Balance Sheet as at 1 July 2008 and 30 June <strong>2009</strong>:30 June 2008$’000Increase /(decrease)$’0001 July 2008(restated)$’000Balance sheet (extract)Plant and equipment 2,939 (942) 1,997Net assets 1,192,240 (942) 1,191,298Accumulated surplus/(deficit) (38,362) (942) (39,304)Total equity 1,192,240 (942) 1,191,29830 June <strong>2009</strong>$’000Increase /(decrease)$’00030 June <strong>2009</strong>(restated)$’000Balance sheet (extract)Plant and equipment 2,796 (932) 1,864Net assets 1,196,458 (932) 1,195,526Accumulated surplus/(deficit)– balance brought forward (38,362) (942) (39,304)– current period (1,462) <strong>10</strong> (1,452)(39,824) (932) (40,756)Total equity 1,196,458 (932) 1,195,526Items on the Balance Sheet other than those mentioned above were not affected by the retrospectiveadoption of the revised policy.<strong>Parks</strong> <strong>Victoria</strong> - <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2009</strong>-<strong>10</strong> 61
