AASB 17-18 December 2014 Agenda Paper 3.11 (M142) Cutting the clutter Review of recent financial report de-cluttering trends in the ASX 200 October 2014 kpmg.com.au Foreword Introduction The principles of Cutting the Clutter Results Practical application Standard setters and regulators KPMG How we can help Appendix Foreword – Delivering a clearer message Times have changed. For years, many have seen the financial report as a compliance document, requiring a significant amount of resources to prepare that is difficult to understand due to technical jargon used and the abundance of disclosures. This year a number of ASX200 companies have released shorter, de-cluttered financial reporting that represents a positive step forward in delivering a clearer message. Corporate reporting is quickly climbing up the board agenda. Boards are trying to do more with less challenging themselves on how to clearly articulate their messages to investors and other stakeholders, while using their resources effectively. The ASX Corporate Governance Council has also put the spotlight on this area, recently releasing the third edition of their principles and recommendations. Principle 4 now states: “Safeguard integrity in corporate reporting – A listed entity should have formal and rigorous processes that independently verify and safeguard the integrity of its corporate reporting.” This principle explicitly puts director responsibility in the context of all corporate reporting. KPMG Australia has been working closely with a number of companies in helping them cut the clutter from their financial and other corporate reporting, obtain quick wins in their goal of delivering a clearer message to the capital markets and in managing stakeholder engagement through this process. We hope this publication encourages other companies to take up the challenge of producing clearer, decluttered financial and other corporate reports that focus on key performance measures and disclosures. Whilst for some this may take a “leap of faith”, the outcome should be a better quality financial report that is more focused on what is important to the reader. Organisations will then be ready to take next steps and de-clutter the entire corporate reporting portfolio, improve the user experience, reduce reporting costs and enhance capital allocation.

A significant shift in Australian corporate reporting has occurred in recent times, taking external reporting beyond its traditional emphasis on compliance: • • International and local accounting bodies are talking about de-cluttering and the need to re-focus disclosures in financial reports ASIC released RG 247 Effective disclosure in an operating and financial review (OFR) in 2013, and have challenged organisations to better explain business models, operations, risks, strategies, financial results and future prospects • • G100 has Integrated Reporting as the number one item on its agenda for 2014 ASX Corporate Governance Council’s amendments to principle 4 reflects the reality that financial reporting is no longer the primary corporate reporting tool underpinning capital market analysis and capital allocation decisions • Companies in the UK, Asia and now in Australia are releasing de-cluttered reports to enable clearer delivery of key financial messages. Cutting the clutter is now being actively embraced by many ASX 200 companies. For some organisations these changes will prompt them to embark on a journey of corporate reporting reform. As the journey progresses, it should result in more meaningful corporate reporting for report users, less work for report preparers and better information for business and investment decision making. In short, it should help to deliver more transparency at less cost. © 2014 KPMG, an Australian partnership. All rights reserved. October 2014. NSW N12375AUD. Operating and financial reviews: October 2014 4 Foreword Introduction The principles of Cutting the Clutter Results Practical application Standard setters and regulators KPMG How we can help Appendix The principles of Cutting the Clutter in financial reports are simple: Remove immaterial or irrelevant financial report disclosures that have built up over time Re-order and re-label accounting policies and detailed notes so that they better reflect the key financial measures and focus areas of most relevance Re-write technical wording into plain English, whilst still fully complying with relevant accounting standard and regulatory requirements. We have looked at the emerging trend of companies cutting the clutter within their financial reports over the most recent reporting season, focussing on the ASX 200. This publication highlights entities that have reduced and/or reconfigured content, using company specific examples. Our review revealed the following results: • Whilst new accounting standards have increased disclosure, some companies have been able to “buck the trend”, reducing their total financial report page count compared to the prior year • 50% of organisations have financial reports that are shorter in length than the prior period • 37% of organisations were able to reduce the number of notes to the financial statements compared to the prior period • 19% of organisations have re-ordered their flow of notes to the financial statements, and 10% have used subheadings and re-grouped notes to focus attention on specific items of disclosure. These results indicate that many entities in the ASX 200 have started to embrace de-cluttering the annual financial report. Refer to Appendix 1 for a summary of individual entity details, and Appendix 2 for a selection of company specific examples of financial report de-cluttering. © 2014 KPMG, an Australian partnership.

Improving corporate reporting is a journey and is likely to be completed in several stages, occurring over a number of reporting periods. The speed at which change is achieved will depend on the driver of the change, i.e., industry best practice, regulatory drivers such as RG247 and ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations which have mandatory commencement dates, the appetite of the board and senior management, the take-up of market-driven initiatives such as Integrated Reporting <IR>, and the capacity within the organisation to implement change. © 2014 KPMG, an Australian partnership.

While cutting the clutter can be a logical first step for many companies in improving the clarity of reporting, the financial report only tells a small part of the story. To maximise the benefits of de-cluttering, companies should consider if their annual report and wider corporate reporting portfolio could also benefit from being redesigned and streamlined to more clearly and concisely communicate how they create value in the short, medium and long term.

Are our financial reports cluttered with technical jargon that investors either don’t need to know or don’t understand? 2. Are our financial reports structured in a way that focuses investors on what I think they should focus on? 3. Are our financial reports easy to read? Do they include immaterial, redundant or boiler-plate disclosures that don’t add anything? 4. Are our financial reports longer than they need to be? 5. Do we want to try and save costs in preparing our financial reports? Achieve quick wins by … • Identifying accounting policies that do not relate to the prior or current year financial performance or position and remove • Move accounting policies to the related financial statement note, e.g. revenue accounting policy with the revenue note, to improve clarity • Order notes in level of importance to investors – important information should be read first Companies who have undertaken this process highlight the need for strong stakeholder engagement across the finance team, investor relations, audit committee and relevant external users in order to gain support and manage expectations. • Group like notes together – presenting a holistic view of key financial reporting focus areas, e.g. tax expense with deferred tax balances Whilst for some it may take a ‘leap of faith’ to embrace the de-cluttering process, the end product should be a clearer and more focused document that will better tell your story. • Reword boiler-plate disclosure so that it actually describes your business circumstances with minimal technical jargon © 2014 KPMG, an Australian partnership.

These proposals form a small part of our efforts to encourage preparers, auditors and regulators away from a ticking-the-box mentality towards disclosures.” Hans Hoogervorst, IASB Chairman – announcing the IASB Disclosure Initiative proposal The IASB feel the need for disclosure reform and to: “Clarify the materiality requirements”and put “emphasis on the potentially detrimental effect of overwhelming useful information with immaterial disclosure”, and “clarify that entities have flexibility as to the order in which they present the notes”1 “The AASB strongly supports the Disclosure Initiative Project”3 and recommends using ‘plain English’ expressions in IFRSs to distinguish information displayed on the face of a financial statement and information displayed in the notes”3 The FRC “agreed that preparers, auditors and directors need to address this issue in light of clarifications from the standard setters and ASIC, recognising that too much irrelevant information is a distraction to understanding the financial report”4 Sources: 1 IASB Press Release, 25 March 2014 2 ASIC Regulatory Guide 175. 3 AASB’s comment letter on IASB Exposure Draft ED/2014/1 Disclosure Initiative 4 Financial Reporting Council Minutes – 11 April 2014 5 The Group of 100’s comment letter on IASB Exposure Draft ED/2014/1 Disclosure Initiative © 2014 KPMG, an Australian partnership.

FLT and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report as the group or the consolidated entity. Subsidiaries are entities (including special purpose entities) over which the group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the group controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group and are deconsolidated when that control ceases. The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for the group’s acquisition of subsidiaries (refer to note 1(g)). Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the transferred asset’s impairment. Subsidiaries’ accounting policies have been changed, where necessary, to ensure consistency with the group’s policies. Non–controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated balance sheet, income statement, statement of comprehensive income and statement of changes in equity respectively. Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in FLT’s individual financial statements. Associates are all entities over which the group has significant influence but not control or joint control. Investments in associates are accounted for by the parent using the cost method and in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting, after initially being recognised at cost. The group’s investment in associates includes goodwill (net of any accumulated impairment loss) identified on acquisition (refer to note 19). The group has not elected to apply any pronouncements before their operative date in the annual reporting period beginning 1 July 2012. Historical cost convention These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of available‑for‑sale financial assets and financial assets and liabilities (including derivative financial instruments) at fair value through profit and loss. • Gearing ratio (i) Subsidiaries (ii) Associates None of the new standards and amendments of standards that are mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning 1 July 2012 affected any of the amounts recognised in the current period or any prior period and are not likely to affect future periods. • Net debt (B) Principles of consolidation The group’s consolidated financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Early adoption of standards B1 The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Australian Accounting Standards requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment when applying the group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in note 2. Compliance with IFRS New & amended standards adopted by the group FLT has a focus on maintaining a strong balance sheet through increasing cash and investments and reducing debt. The strategy also considers the group’s expenditure, growth and acquisition requirements and the desire to return dividends to shareholders. Critical accounting estimates The group’s share of its associates’ post‑acquisition profits or losses is recognised in the income statement and its share of post‑acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in other comprehensive income reserves. The cumulative post‑acquisition movements are adjusted against the investments’ carrying amounts. Dividends receivable from associates are recognised in the parent entity’s income statement. In the consolidated financial statements, they reduce the investments’ carrying amounts. When the group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured long–term receivables, the group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on the associate’s behalf. Unrealised gains on transactions between the group and its associates are 40 ABN 25 003 377 188 B1 caSh and caSh equiVaLentS FLIGHT CENTRE TRAVEL GROUP LIMITED annuaL report 13/14 Source: Flight Centre Travel Group Limited Annual Report 13/14 Date: 27 August 2014 Accounting policy 33 Client cash represents amounts from customers held before release to service and product suppliers.

Lend Lease annual report 2013 124 notes to the ConsoLIdated FInanCIaL stateMents CONTINUED 2. Revenue Accounting Policies Revenue from the provision of services is recognised in the Income Statement in proportion to the stage of completion of the transactions at the balance sheet date. ¡ For construction and development: the value of work performed using the percentage complete method, which is measured by reference to costs incurred to date as a percentage of total forecast costs for each contract. ¡ Development also includes retirement living Deferred Management Fees (‘DMF’). A typical DMF contract provides for an annual fee for a fixed period on the property occupied by a resident (e.g. 3% per annum of purchase or resale price for a period up to 10–12 years, or 30%–36% in total) plus a share of the capital gain realised on turnover. For both owned retirement villages (investment property) and managed retirement villages, DMF income is recognised on an annual accrual basis based upon the expected term of the resident’s licence and estimates of capital growth since the resident first occupied the unit. ¡ For infrastructure development: origination, asset management and facility management fee entitlements are recognised for services rendered. 1. significant accounting policies continued 1.3 Impact of New/Revised Accounting Standards continued new accounting standards and Interpretations not Yet adopted Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the financial year ended 30 June 2013 but are available for early adoption and have not been applied in preparing this report. The potential effect of these is outlined below: n ¡ For investment management: funds and asset management fee entitlements are recognised for services rendered. Revenue from the sale of development properties is recognised in the Income Statement when: ¡ The significant risks and rewards have been transferred to the buyer; These standards address the classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. The potential effect of this standard is yet to be determined. ¡ The Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership, nor effective control over the development properties sold; ¡ The revenue can be measured reliably and it is probable that the Group will receive the consideration due; and n AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements introduces a new definition of control and addresses whether an entity should be included within the consolidated financial statements of the parent company. n AASB 11 Joint Arrangements establishes principles for financial reporting by parties to a joint arrangement. ¡ The Group can reliably measure the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction. Rental revenue is recognised in the Income Statement on a straight line basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic basis is more appropriate. Lease incentives granted are recognised as an integral part of the total rental income.

The revised AASB 119 Employee Benefits (June 2011) and AASB 2011-10 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 119 (September 2011) introduce changes to the accounting for and presentation of pensions and other post-employment benefits. The revised standard eliminates the corridor approach which defers the recognition of actuarial gains and losses attributable to the Group’s defined benefit plans in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. The revised standard also requires the net interest expense on fund obligations and interest income on assets to be determined by applying the discount rate used to measure the fund obligations. Previously, the Group determined interest income on fund assets based on the expected long term return for each asset class. Had the revised standard been applied at 30 June 2013, and previously unrecognised cumulative gains and losses had been recognised, total equity would have decreased by A$63.8 million, after tax. The amount recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income for current year actuarial gains to 30 June 2013 would have been A$23.2 million, after tax. In addition, the impact to the defined benefit expense on adopting the amendments would decrease profit after tax by A$2.8 million, for the year ended 30 June 2013. Deferred Management Fees (‘DMF’): A typical DMF contract provides for an annual retainer for a fixed period (e.g. 3% per annum of purchase or resale price for a period up to 12 years, or 36% in total) plus a share of the capital gain realised on turnover. For both owned retirement villages (investment property) and managed retirement villages, DMF income is recognised on an annual accrual basis based upon the expected term of the resident’s licence and estimates of capital growth since the resident first occupied the unit. The Group’s assessment of the impact of AASB 10 and AASB 11 indicates that the application of these standards is unlikely to have a significant impact on the Group’s financial position and performance. Other revenue primarily includes dividends/distributions and miscellaneous items. Dividend/distribution income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established, usually on declaration of the dividend/distribution. Financial Disclosure AASB 9 Financial Instruments, AASB 2009-11 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9, AASB 2010-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2010) and AASB 2012-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Mandatory Effective Date of AASB 9 and Transition Disclosures (September 2012). The standards above become mandatory for the June 2014 financial year, with the exception of AASB 9 which will apply to the June 2016 financial year. With the exception of AASB 13, which applies prospectively, the standards are to be applied retrospectively. n Aged Care Revenue: Aged Care revenue comprises daily resident living contributions, retention fees and government funding, which are all determined in accordance with Federal Government authorised rates. This revenue is recognised as the services are provided. The Group is entitled to charge an annual retention fee to hostel residents. These annual fees are regulated by the Federal Government and are paid by a resident on departure. These fees are accrued during the resident’s period of occupancy. revenue and profits from the sale of development properties Revenue and profits from the sale of development properties are recognised in the Income Statement when: n The significant risks and rewards have been transferred to the buyer; n The Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership, nor effective control over the development properties sold; n The revenue can be measured reliably and it is highly probable that the Group will receive the consideration due; and, n The Group can reliably measure the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction. rental revenue Rental revenue is recognised in the Income Statement on a straight line basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic basis is more appropriate. Lease incentives granted are recognised as an integral part of the total rental income.

A derivative is a type of financial instrument typically used to manage risk. A derivative's value changes over time in response to underlying variables such as exchange rates or interest rates and is entered into for a fixed period. A hedge is where a derivative is used to manage an underlying exposure. Stockland uses derivatives to manage exposure to foreign exchange and interest rate risk. Derivative financial instruments Source: Stockland Financial Report 2014 Derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value and remeasured at each balance date. The Date: 18 August 2014 gain or loss on re-measurement to fair value is recognised in profit or loss. However, where derivatives qualify for hedge accounting, recognition of any resultant gain or loss depends on the nature of the item being hedged, refer to Note D6(d). © 2014 KPMG, an Australian partnership.
