Statement of non-departmental accounting policies
Generally Accepted Accounting Practice rules for recognition and measurement have been applied in the preparation of the non-departmental forecast schedules.
The following accounting policies have been applied:
Revenue Recognition
Military equipment is sold at cost to the New Zealand Defence Force in July and January each year. Revenue is recognised and reported in those months.
Interest Income
Interest income is recognised in the period in which it is earned.
Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Input GST on the procurement or refurbishment of military equipment is expensed.
Work in Progress
Work in progress comprises project expenditure to be recovered from the New Zealand Defence Force for the six months preceding balance date, plus accruals at balance date.
Foreign Currency
Foreign currency transactions are converted into New Zealand dollars at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Where a forward exchange contract has been used to establish the price of a transaction, the forward rate specified in that foreign exchange contract is used to convert that transaction to New Zealand dollars. Consequently, no exchange gain or loss resulting from the difference between the forward exchange contract rate and the spot exchange rate on date of settlement is recognised.
Monetary assets and liabilities are translated to New Zealand dollars at the closing exchange rate. The resulting unrealised exchange gain or loss is recognised in the schedule of non-departmental forecast expenses. Other exchange gains or losses, whether realised or unrealised, are recognised in the schedule of non-departmental forecast expenses in the period to which they relate.
Changes in non-departmental accounting policies
No changes in accounting policies are expected to be made during the forecast period.
