AUSTRALIAN COMPETITION & CONSUMER COMMISSIONNOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSfor the year ended 30 June 2012

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

• promote vigorous, lawful competition and informed markets;• encourage fair trading, protection of consumers and product safety; and

The Commission is an Australian Government controlled entity. The objectives of the Commission are to:1.1 Objectives of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (the Commission)

• regulate national infrastructure services (such as communications, bulk water, energy, rail, airports, post and wheat exports) and other markets where there is limited competition.

The Commission's outcome is lawful competition, consumer protection, and regulated national infrastructure markets andservices through regulation, including enforcement, education, price monitoring and determining the terms of access toinfrastructure services.

1.2 Basis of Preparation of the Financial Statements

The continued existence of the Commission in its present form and with its present programs is dependent on Government Policyand on continuing funding by Parliament for the Commission's administration and programs.

The Commission's activities contributing towards these outcomes are classified as either departmental or administered.Departmental activities involve the use of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses controlled or incurred by the Commission inits own right. Administered activities involve the management or oversight by the Commission, on behalf of the Government, ofitems controlled or incurred by the Government.The Commission does not conduct administered activities, however, fines and penalties collected are returned to theCommonwealth as administered items. Contingent gains are recognised as administered items, and contingent losses arerecognised as departmental items.

The financial statements are general purpose financial statements and are required by section 49 of the Financial Managementand Accountability Act 1997 .

• Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that applyfor the reporting period.

The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars and values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars unlessotherwise specified.

Unless an alternative treatment is specifically required by an accounting standard or the FMOs, assets and liabilities arerecognised in the balance sheet when and only when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Commission or afuture sacrifice of economic benefits will be required and the amounts of the assets or liabilities can be reliably measured.However, assets and liabilities arising under executor contracts are not recognised unless required by an accounting standard.Liabilities and assets that are unrecognised are reported in the schedule of commitments or the schedule of contingencies.

The financial statements and notes have been prepared in accordance with: • Finance Minister's Orders (or FMOs) for reporting periods ending on or after 1 July 2010; and

Unless an alternative treatment is specifically required by an accounting standard, income and expenses are recognised in thestatement of comprehensive income when and only when the flow, consumption or loss of economic benefits has occurred andcan be reliably measured.

The financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and in accordance with the historical cost convention, except forcertain assets at fair value. Except where stated, no allowance is made for the effect of changing prices on the results or thefinancial position.

• The Australian Government shorthand method has been used to estimate the present value of long service leave liabilities.

1.3 Significant Accounting Judgements and Estimates

Adoption of new Australian Accounting Standard requirements

No accounting assumptions or estimates have been identified that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment tocarrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next accounting period.

New standards, revised standards, interpretations and amending standards that were issued prior to the sign-off date are applicable to the current reporting period did not have a material financial impact on the Commission and are not expected to have a future material financial impact on the Commission.

No accounting standard has been adopted earlier than the application date as stated in the standard.

1.4 Changes in Australian Accounting Standards

New standards, revised standards, interpretations and amending standards that were issued prior to the sign-off date areapplicable to the future reporting period are not expected to have a future material financial impact on the Commission.

In the process of applying the accounting policies listed in this note, the Commission has made the following judgements thathave the most significant impact on the amounts recorded in the financial statements:

• The fair value of leasehold improvements has been taken to be the market value of similar properties as determined by anindependent valuer.

Future Australian Accounting Standard Requirements

applicable to the future reporting period are not expected to have a future material financial impact on the Commission.

1.5 Revenue

• It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Commission.Revenue from rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of contracts at the reporting date. Therevenue is recognised when:

• The risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer;

• The revenue and transaction costs incurred can be reliably measured; and • The entity retains no managerial involvement nor effective control over the goods;

Revenue from Government

• The probable economic benefits with the transaction will flow to the Commission. • The amount of revenue, stage of completion and transaction costs incurred can be reliably measured; and

Amounts appropriated for departmental appropriations for the year (adjusted for any formal additions and reductions) arerecognised as Revenue from Government when the Commission gains control of the appropriation, except for certain amountsthat relate to activities that are reciprocal in nature, in which case revenue is recognised only when it has been earned.Appropriations receivable are recognised at their nominal amounts

Receivables for goods and services, which have 30 day terms, are recognised at the nominal amounts due less any impairmentallowance account. Collectability of debts is reviewed at balance date. Allowances are made when collectability of the debt is nolonger probable.

The stage of completion of contracts at the reporting date is determined by reference to the proportion that costs incurred to datebear to the estimated total costs of the transaction.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when:

Parental Leave Payments Scheme

Resources received free of charge are recognised as revenue when, and only when, a fair value can be reliably determined andthe services would have been purchased if they had not been donated. Use of those resources is recognised as an expense.Resources received free of charge are recorded as either revenue or gains depending on their natureContributions of assets at no cost of acquisition or for nominal consideration are recognised as gains at their fair value when theasset qualifies for recognition, unless received from another government agency or authority as a consequence of restructuring ofadministrative arrangements (refer to Note 1.7).

Resources Received Free of Charge

Amount received under the Parental Leave Payments Scheme by the Commission not yet paid to employees were presented grossas cash and a liability (payable). The total amount received under this scheme is disclosed as a footnote to the Note 4E: Revenuefrom Government.

1.6 Gains

1.7 Transactions with the Government as Owner

Equity InjectionsAmounts appropriated which are designated as ‘equity injections’ for a year (less any formal reductions) and DepartmentalCapital Budgets (DCBs) are recognised directly in contributed equity in that year.

The FMOs require that distributions to owners be debited to contributed equity unless it is in the nature of a dividend. In 2011-12,the Commission made no such distributions.

Other Distributions to Owners

Resources received free of charge are recorded as either revenue or gains depending on their nature.

Net assets received from or relinquished to another Government entity under a restructuring of administrative arrangements areadjusted at their book value directly against contributed equity.

Resources Received Free of Charge

Restructuring of Administrative Arrangements

Sale of assetsGains from disposal of non-current assets are recognised when control of the asset has passed to the buyer.

Contributions of assets at no cost of acquisition or for nominal consideration are recognised as gains at their fair value when theasset qualifies for recognition, unless received from another government agency or authority as a consequence of a restructuringof administrative arrangements. (Refer to Note 1.7).

Resources received free of charge are recognised as gains when, and only when a fair value can be reliably determined and theservices would have been purchased if they had not been donated. Use of those resources is recognised as an expense.

1.8 Employee benefits

Provision is made for separation and redundancy benefit payments. The Commission recognises a provision for terminationwhen it has developed a detailed formal plan for the terminations and has informed those employees affected that it will carry outthe terminations.

The liability for long service leave has been calculated using the Australian Government short hand method. The estimate ofpresent value of the liability takes into account attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and inflation.

Liabilities for ‘short-term employee benefits’ (as defined in AASB 119 Employee Benefits ) and termination benefits due withintwelve months of balance date are measured at their nominal amounts.

Leave

Separation and Redundancy

Other long-term employee benefits are measured as net total of the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end ofthe reporting period minus the fair value at the end of the reporting period of plan assets (if any) out of which the obligations areto be settled directly.

The leave liabilities are calculated on the basis of employees’ remuneration at the estimated salary rates that will be applied at thetime the leave is likely to be taken, including the entity's employer superannuation contribution rates to the extent that the leave islikely to be taken during service rather than paid out on termination.

The liability for employee benefits includes provision for annual leave and long service leave. No provision has been made forsick leave as all sick leave is non-vesting and the average sick leave taken in future years by employees of the Commission isestimated to be less than the annual entitlement for sick leave.

The nominal amount is calculated with regard to the rates expected to be paid on settlement of the liability.

The CSS and PSS are defined benefit schemes for the Australian Government. The PSSap and the other superannuation plansare defined contribution schemes.

The Commission's staff are members of the Commonwealth Superannuation Scheme (CSS), the Public Sector SuperannuationScheme (PSS) or the PSS accumulation plan (PSSap) and other superannuation plans.

The liability for superannuation recognised as at 30 June represents outstanding contributions for the final fortnight of the year.

The liability for defined benefits is recognised in the financial statements of the Australian Government and is settled by theAustralian Government in due course. This liability is reported in the Department of Finance and Deregulation's administeredschedules and notes.

The Commission makes employer contributions to the employees' superannuation scheme at rates determined by an actuary to besufficient to meet the current cost to the Government. The Commission accounts for the contributions as if they werecontributions to defined contribution plans.

a) cash on hand

A distinction is made between finance leases and operating leases. Finance leases effectively transfer from the lessor to thelessee substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of leased assets. An operating lease is a lease that is not afinance lease. In operating leases, the lessor effectively retains substantially all such risks and rewards.

All borrowing costs are expensed as incurred.

1.9 Leases

Where an asset is acquired by means of a finance lease, the asset is capitalised at either the fair value of the lease property or, iflower, the present value of minimum lease payments at the inception of the contract and a liability recognised at the same timeand for the same amount. The discount rate used is the interest rate implicit in the lease. Leased assets are amortised over the period of the lease. Leasepayments are allocated between the principal component and the interest expense.

1.11 Cash

There are currently no finance leases within the Commission.

Operating lease payments are expensed on a straight line basis which is representative of the pattern of benefits derived from theleased assets.

b) demand deposits in bank accounts with an original maturity of 3 months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and subject to insignificant risk of changes in valuec) cash held with outsiders: andd) cash in special accounts

1.10 Borrowing costs

1.12 Financial assets

Cash is recognised at its nominal amount. Cash and cash equivalents includes:

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are stated at fair value, with any resultant gain or loss recognised in profit orloss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss incorporates any interest earned on the financial asset. Interest earned onfinancial assets at FVPL is included in line item ‘Change in fair value through profit and loss’ of Note 4K and not to be includedagain in Note 4C.

b) are derivatives that are not designated and effective as a hedging instrument; or

The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition.Financial assets are recognised and derecognised upon trade date.

a) have been acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near future;Financial assets are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss where the financial assets:

Assets in this category are classified as current assets.

c) are a parts of an identified portfolio of financial instruments that the entity manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking.

The Commission classifies its financial assets as loans and receivables.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest incomeover the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through theexpected life of the financial asset, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

Income is recognised on an effective interest rate basis except for financial assets that are recognised at fair value through profitor loss.

Financial assets are assessed for impairment at the end of each reporting period.· Financial assets carried at amortised cost - if there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred for loans and receivables or held to maturity investments held at amortised cost, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount is reduced by way of an allowance account. The loss is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Financial liabilities are recognised and derecognised upon 'trade date'.

Loans and receivables

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are initially measured at fair value. Subsequent fair value adjustments arerecognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss incorporates any interest paid on the financialliability.

Trade receivables, loans and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active marketare classified as ‘loans and receivables’. Loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest methodless impairment. Interest is recognised by applying the effective interest rate.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial Liabilities at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss

Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities 'at fair value through profit or loss' or other financial liabilities.1.13 Financial Liabilities

· Financial assets carried at cost - If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred, the amount of the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate for similar assets.

1.14 Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets

Supplier and other payables are recognised at amortised cost. Liabilities are recognised to the extent that the goods or serviceshave been received (and irrespective of having been invoiced).

Other Financial Liabilities

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interestexpense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash paymentsthrough the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

Other financial liabilities, including borrowings, are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs. These liabilities aresubsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognised on an effectiveyield basis.

Contingent liabilities and contingent assets are not recognised in the balance sheet but are reported in the relevant schedules andnotes. They may arise from uncertainty as to the existence of a liability or asset or represent an asset or liability in respect ofwhich the amount cannot be reliably measured. Contingent assets are disclosed when settlement is probable but not virtuallycertain and contingent liabilities are disclosed when settlement is greater than remote.

1.15 Acquisition of Assets

1.16 Property, Plant and Equipment

Asset Class

Fair value of each class of asset are determined as shown below:

Assets are recorded at cost on acquisition except as stated below. The cost of acquisition includes the fair value of assetstransferred in exchange and liabilities undertaken. Financial assets are initially measured at their fair value plus transaction costswhere appropriate.

Fair value measured at

Leasehold improvements Depreciated replacement cost

The initial cost of an asset includes an estimate of the cost of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which itis located. This is particularly relevant to ‘makegood’ provisions in property leases taken up by the Commission where thereexists an obligation to restore the property to its original condition. These costs are included in the value of the Commission’sleasehold improvements with a corresponding provision for the ‘makegood’ recognised.

Purchases of property, plant and equipment are recognised initially at cost in the balance sheet, except for purchases costing lessthan $2,000, which are expensed in the year of acquisition (other than where they form part of a group of similar items which aresignificant in total).

Assets acquired at no cost, or for nominal consideration, are initially recognised as assets and income at their fair value at thedate of acquisition, unless acquired as a consequence of restructuring of administrative arrangements. In the latter case, assetsare initially recognised as contributions by owners at the amounts at which they were recognised in the transferor’s accountsimmediately prior to the restructuring.

Asset Recognition Threshold

Revaluations

Market selling price

Following initial recognition at cost, property plant and equipment were carried at fair value less subsequent accumulateddepreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Valuations were conducted with sufficient frequency to ensure that the carryingamounts of assets do not differ materially from the assets’ fair values as at the reporting date. The regularity of independentvaluations depended upon the volatility of movements in market values for the relevant assets.

Any accumulated depreciation as at the revaluation date is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the assetrestated to the revalued amount.

Revaluation adjustments were made on a class basis. Any revaluation increment was credited to equity under the heading ofasset revaluation reserve except to the extent that it reversed a previous revaluation decrement of the same asset class that waspreviously recognised in the surplus/deficit. Revaluation decrements for a class of assets were recognised directly in thesurplus/deficit except to the extent that they reverse a previous revaluation increment for that class.

The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. Value in use is the presentvalue of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. Where the future economic benefit of an asset is notprimarily dependent on the asset’s ability to generate future cash flows, and the asset would be replaced if the Commission wasdeprived of the asset, its value in use is taken to be its depreciated replacement cost.

All software assets were assessed for impairment as at 30 June 2012. There were no indicators of impairment.

1.18 Inventories

The Commission's intangibles comprises purchased and internally developed software for internal use. These assets are carriedat cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. These assets are carried at cost above thecapitalisation threshold of $10,000, below this amount they are expensed in the year of purchase.

1.19 Taxation/ Competitive Neutrality

The Commission provides services on a not-for-profit basis which are not subject to Competitive Neutrality arrangements.

Administered fee revenue is recognised at its nominal amount due less any allowance for bad or doubtful debts. Collectability ofdebts is reviewed at balance date. Allowances are made when collection of the debt is judged to be less rather than more likely.

The court costs awarded against the Commission are recorded as a departmental expense.

Revenue is generated from fines and costs applied by the courts, or by agreement between the Commission and the defendant. Itis recognised when awarded by the courts, or when agreement has been executed.

Authorisation and notification fees and other revenue are applied when required under the relevant legislation, and are recognisedupon payment.

All administered revenues are revenues relating to ordinary activities performed by the Commission on behalf of the AustralianGovernment. As such, administered appropriations are not revenues of the individual entity that oversees distribution orexpenditure of the funds as directed.

Loans and receivables

The Commission is exposed to minimal credit risk as loans and receivables are cash and trade receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk is the risk that arises from potential default of a debtor. This amount is equal to the total amount of trade receivables (2012: 636,000 and 2011: $4,722,000). The Commission has assessed the risk of the default on payment and has allocated $Nil in 2011 (2011: $Nil) to an impairment allowance account.

The Commission holds no collateral to mitigate against credit risk.

Credit quality of financial instruments not past due or individually determined as impaired

The Commission manages its credit risk by undertaking background and credit checks prior to allowing a debtor relationship. In addition, the Commission has policies and procedures that guided employees debt recovery techniques that are to be applied.

The Commission is appropriated funding from the Australian Government. The Commission manages its budgeted funds to ensure it has adequate funds to meet payments as they fall due. In addition, the Commission has policies in place to ensure timely payment are made when due and has no past experience of default. All of the Commission's financial liabilities are due within one year.

The Commission holds basic financial instruments that do not expose the Commission to certain market risks. The Commission is not exposed to Currency risk, Interest rate risk or Other price risk.

The Commission's financial liabilities are payables. The exposure to liquidity risk is based on the notion that the Commission will encounter difficulty in meeting its obligations associated with financial liabilities. This is highly unlikely due to appropriation funding and mechanisms available to the Entity (e.g. Advance to the Finance Minister) and internal policies and procedures put in place to ensure there are appropriate resources to meet its financial obligations.

Quantifiable Administered Contingencies

Claims for damages or costs Total

The Schedule of Contingencies reports contingent assets in respect of claims for damages/costs of $1,067,000 (2011: $1,076,000). The Commission is expecting to succeed in 4 alleged breaches (2011: 4 alleged breaches) of the Competition and Consumer Act, although the cases are continuing. The estimate is based on legal advice and the precedents in such cases.

Unquantifiable Administered Contingencies

Remote Administered ContingenciesAs at 30 June 2012, the Commission has no remote Administered Contingencies.

Consumer Act, although the cases are continuing. The estimate is based on legal advice and the precedents in such cases.

As at 30 June 2012, the Commission has 31 matters (2011: 32 matters) considered unquantifiable. In the event of favourable judgment by the court, the Commission stands to gain by way of penalties or costs awarded. It is not possible to determine the amounts in relation to these matters. These were not included in the schedule of contingencies.

Ageing of financial assets that are past due but not impaired for 2011

The Commission is exposed to minimal credit risk as loans and receivables are cash and receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk is the risk that arises from potential default of a debtor. This amount is equal to the total amount of receivables (2012: $10,927,000 and 2011: $12,415,000). The Commission has assessed the risk of the default on payment and has allocated $2,148,000 in 2011 (2011: $3,472,000) to an allowance for doubtful debts account.The Commission holds no collateral to mitigate against credit risk.

Credit quality of financial instruments not past due or individually determined as impaired

Note 20E: Liquidity risk

Note 20F: Market risk

The Commission's administered activities relate to fines and costs awarded by courts or through agreements. The Commission manages its budgeted funds to ensure it has adequate funds to meet payments as they fall due. In addition, the Commission has policies in place to ensure timely payments are made when due and has no past experience of default.

The Commission holds basic financial instruments that do not expose the Commission to certain market risks. The Commission is not exposed to 'Currency risk,' 'Interest rate risk' or 'Other price risk'.

The Commission's has no administered financial liabilities that are payables. Accordingly the Commission is not exposed to significant liquidity risk.

Note 22: Compliance with Statutory Conditions for Payments from the Consolidated Revenue Fund

• 1 special appropriation; and• 1 special account.

Section 83 of the Constitution provides that no amount may be paid out of the Consolidated Revenue Fund except under an appropriation made by law. The Department of Finance and Deregulation provided information to all agencies in 2011 regarding the need for risk assessments in relation to compliance with statutory conditions on payments from special appropriations, including special accounts. The possibility of this being an issue for the agency was reported in the notes to the 2010-11 financial statements and the agency undertook to investigate the issue during 2011-12.

During 2011-12, the agency developed a plan to review exposure to risks of not complying with statutory conditions on payments from appropriations. The plan involved:

• identifying each special appropriation and special account; • determining the risk of non-compliance by assessing the difficulty of administering the statutory conditions and assessing the extent to which existing payment systems and processes satisfy those conditions;• determining procedures to confirm risk assessments in medium risk cases and to quantify the extent of non-compliance, if any, in higher risk situations;• an external review of all payments in 2010-11 and 2011-12 from the special appropriation and special account to ensure statutory conditions were met. Payment processes were also reviewed to ensure adequate controls are in place and that an assessment of statutory conditions is undertaken for each payment.

The agency identified 2 appropriations involving statutory conditions for payment, comprising:

As at 30 June 2012 this work had been completed in respect of all appropriations with statutory conditions for payment in 2010-

The work conducted to date has identified no issues of compliance with Section 83.

As at 30 June 2012 this work had been completed in respect of all appropriations with statutory conditions for payment in 2010-11 and 2011-12 totalling $836,359 (representing $731,659 in 2010-11 and $104,700 in 2011-12).
