Statement of Significant Accounting Policies
Reporting Entity
The Department of Internal Affairs' forecast financial statements have been prepared in accordance with section 38 of the Public Finance Act 1989. Section 2 of this Act defines the Department of Internal Affairs as a Government Department. For the purposes of financial reporting the Department of Internal Affairs of New Zealand is a public benefit entity.
Reporting Period
The reporting period for these forecast financial statements is the year ending 30 June 2008.
Estimates and Forecasts
Actual results for 2007/08 may vary from the information presented in the forecast financial statements. Any variation will generally be a result of fluctuations in the level of demand for products produced by the Department.
Statement of Compliance
These forecast financial statements have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand generally accepted accounting practice. They have been adapted to comply with New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS) and other applicable Financial Reporting Standards, as appropriate for public benefit entities. These are the Department of Internal Affairs' first consolidated forecast financial statements complying with NZ IFRS.
Accounting Policies
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these forecast financial statements.
The measurement base applied is that of historical cost, modified by revaluation of land, buildings, antiques and works of art.
The accrual basis of accounting has been used unless otherwise stated. These forecast financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars rounded to the nearest thousand.
Judgements and Estimations
The preparation of forecast financial statements in conformity with NZ IFRS requires judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Cost Allocation
The methods used in the allocation of costs are consistent between projected (budgeted) and actual figures. Costs of outputs are derived using the following cost allocation system:
"Direct Costs" are those costs directly attributed to an output and are treated as follows.
- Personnel costs are allocated on the basis of estimated time engaged in the delivery of a particular output.
- Operating costs are allocated on the basis of usage.
- Depreciation and capital charge are allocated on the basis of estimated asset utilisation.
- Accommodation costs are allocated on the basis of floor space occupied.
"Indirect Costs" are those costs incurred by support units that are not directly attributable to an output.
- Indirect costs are allocated to outputs on an activity-costing basis reflecting a mix of perceived benefit, personnel numbers, floor space and estimated allocation of time.
Taxation
The Department is exempt from the payment of income tax in terms of the Income Tax Act 2004. Accordingly, no charge for income tax has been provided. The Department is subject to fringe benefit tax (FBT), and goods and services tax (GST). It administers pay as you earn tax (PAYE).
Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Amounts in the Forecast Financial Statements are reported exclusive of GST except for accounts receivable, prepayments and accounts payable.
The amount of GST owing to or from Inland Revenue at balance date is included in the Statement of Forecast Financial Position as a receivable or payable (as appropriate).
Revenue
Crown Revenue
The Department derives revenue for the provision of outputs (services) to the Crown. Crown Revenue is recognised at balance date over the specified period for each service.
Third Party Revenue
The Department derives revenue from third parties for the provision of outputs (products or services) to third parties. Revenue from the supply of goods and services is measured at the fair value of consideration received. Revenue from the supply of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer unless an alternative method better represents the stage of completion of the transaction. Such revenue is recognised when earned and is reported in the financial period to which it relates.
Expenses
Expenses are recognised and reported in the Statement of Forecast Financial Performance in the period in which the service is provided or the goods are received.
Foreign Currency
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially translated at the foreign exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
Monetary assets denominated in foreign currencies at balance date are translated to New Zealand dollars at the foreign exchange rate at balance date. Foreign exchange gains or losses arising from translation of monetary assets are recognised in the Statement of Forecast Financial Performance.
Financial Instruments
Designation of financial assets and financial liabilities is determined by the business purpose of the financial instruments, policies and practices for their management, their relationship with other instruments and the reporting costs and benefits associated with each designation.
Financial Assets
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash in transit, and bank accounts.
Accounts receivable have been designated as loans and receivables. Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables are recognised initially at fair value plus transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Loans and receivables entered into with a duration of less than 12 months are recognised at their nominal value. At each balance date, the Department assesses whether there is any objective evidence that loans and receivables are impaired. Any impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of Forecast Financial Performance as bad debts.
Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value less transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Financial liabilities entered into with duration less than 12 months are recognised at their nominal value.
Inventories
Inventories held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost (calculated using first in-first out method) and net realisable value. Inventories held for distribution are recorded at the lower of cost and current replacement cost.
Non-current Assets
Property, Plant and Equipment
Items of property, plant and equipment costing more than $3,000 are initially recorded at cost.
Revaluations are carried out for a number of classes of property, plant and equipment to reflect the service potential or economic benefit obtained through control of the assets. Revaluation is based on the fair value of the asset with changes reported by class of asset.
Land and buildings are recorded at fair value less impairment losses and, for buildings, less depreciation accumulated since the assets were last revalued. Valuations undertaken in accordance with the standards issued by the New Zealand Property Institute are used.
Antiques and works of art are recorded at fair value and are not depreciated.
Other property, plant and equipment, which includes motor vehicles and office equipment, are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Realised gains and losses arising from disposal of property, plant and equipment are recognised in the Statement of Forecast Financial Performance in the period in which the transaction occurs. Any balance attributable to the disposed asset in the asset revaluation reserve is transferred to retained earnings.
For each property, plant and equipment asset project, borrowing costs incurred during the period required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use are recognised as expenses.
The carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at least annually to determine if there is any indication of impairment. Where an asset's recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount, the asset will be reported at its recoverable amount and an impairment loss will be recognised. Losses resulting from impairment are reported in the Statement of Forecast Financial Performance, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount in which case any impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are initially recorded at cost. The cost of an internally generated intangible asset represents expenditure incurred in the development phase of the asset only. The development phase occurs after the following can be demonstrated: technical feasibility; ability to complete the asset; intention and ability to sell or use; and development expenditure can be reliably measured. Expenditure incurred on research of an internally generated intangible asset is expensed when it is incurred. Where the research phase cannot be distinguished from the development phase, the expenditure is expensed when it is incurred.
Intangible assets with finite lives are subsequently recorded at cost, less any amortisation and impairment losses. Amortisation is charged to the Statement of Forecast Financial Performance on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the asset. Typically, the estimated useful lives of these intangible assets (software) is 3 - 5 years.
Realised gains and losses arising from disposal of intangible assets are recognised in the Statement of Forecast Financial Performance in the period in which the transaction occurs. Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the value of intangible assets are recognised at balance date. To the extent that a gain reverses a loss previously charged to the Statement of Forecast Financial Performance, the gain is credited to the Statement of Forecast Financial Performance. Otherwise, gains are credited to an asset revaluation reserve for that asset. To the extent that there is a balance in the asset revaluation reserve for the intangible asset, a revaluation loss is debited to the reserve. Otherwise, losses are reported in the Statement of Forecast Financial Performance.
Depreciation
Depreciation is charged on a straight-line basis at rates calculated to allocate the cost or valuation of an item of property, plant and equipment, less any estimated residual value, over an asset's estimated useful life. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Buildings |
15 - 66 Years |
Plant and Equipment |
5 - 20 Years |
Furniture and Fittings |
5 - 10 Years |
Office Equipment |
5 - 10 Years |
Motor Vehicles |
4 - 6 Years |
IT Equipment |
3 - 5 Years |
Births, Deaths and Marriages |
10 Years |
Finance Leases
Finance leases transfer to the Department, as lessee, substantially all the risks and rewards incident on the ownership of a leased asset. Initial recognition of a finance lease results in an asset and liability being recognised at amounts equal to the lower of the fair value of the leased property, or the present value of the minimum lease payments. The capitalised values are amortised over the period in which the Department expects to receive benefits from their use. Office equipment leases are recognised as finance leases.
Operating Leases
Operating leases, where the lessor substantially retains the risks and rewards of ownership, are recognised in a systematic manner over the term of the lease. Accommodation and motor vehicle leases are recognised as operating leases.
Leasehold improvements are capitalised and the cost is amortised over the unexpired period of the lease, or the estimated useful life of the improvements, whichever is shorter. Lease incentives received are recognised evenly over the term of the lease as a reduction in rental expense.
Employee Entitlements
Employee entitlements to salaries and wages, annual leave, long service leave, retiring leave and other similar benefits are recognised in the Statement of Forecast Financial Performance when they accrue to employees. Employee entitlements to be settled within 12 months are reported at the amount expected to be paid. The liability for long-term employee entitlements is reported as the present value of the estimated future cash outflows.
Termination Benefits
Termination benefits are recognised in the Statement of Forecast Financial Performance only when there is a demonstrable commitment to either terminate employment prior to normal retirement date or to provide such benefits as a result of an offer to encourage voluntary redundancy. Termination benefits settled within 12 months are reported at the amount expected to be paid, otherwise they are reported as the present value of the estimated future cash outflows.
Other Liabilities and Provisions
Other liabilities and provisions are recorded at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation. Liabilities and provisions to be settled beyond 12 months are recorded at their present value.
Changes in Accounting Policies
Accounting policies are changed only if the change is required by a standard, an interpretation or when more reliable and relevant information can be provided.
These forecast financial statements have been adapted to comply with NZ IFRS.

Action Taken to Address Surpluses and Deficits
New Zealand Gazette
The cost of publishing and distributing the New Zealand Gazette is recovered through third party fees. A surplus generated in any year is to be offset against deficits in future years. Fees will be reviewed to reduce the accumulated deficit.
Use of Facilities and Access to Lake Taupo by Boat Users
The Department of Internal Affairs manages marina berths, jetties and boat ramps located about Lake Taupo. Fees are charged to third parties who use marina berths and boat ramps. Fee income is applied to recover the maintenance and administration cost of these facilities. Operating surpluses in any year will be applied in the subsequent financial year to offset maintenance that may have been deferred due to unfavourable climatic or lake conditions.
