Legislative update information
Accounting Reference Number | Details |
|---|---|
AASB 2024-2 | Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments
The new requirements will be applied retrospectively with an adjustment to opening retained earnings. Prior periods are not required to be restated and can only be restated without using hindsight. An entity is required to disclose information about financial assets that change their measurement category due to the amendments. |
AASB 2025-2 | Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments: Tier 2 Disclosures
Require a Tier 2 entity to disclose information about financial instruments with contingent features that do not relate directly to basic lending risks and costs. Renumber the supplier finance arrangement disclosures and relocate them from the "Basic Financial Instruments" section of the Standard to the "Statement of Cash Flows" section. |
AASB 2025-1 and AASB 2025-3 | Amendments to AASs - Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity [AASB 7 and AASB 9]
Contracts referencing nature-dependent electricity (e.g., wind, solar) can qualify for the own-use exception under AASB 9 if the entity remains a net purchaser over the contract period (i.e., the entity buys sufficient electricity to offset any sales of unused electricity). Entities can now designate contracts referencing nature-dependent electricity as hedging instruments and designate a variable nominal amount of forecast electricity transactions as the hedged item if specific criteria are met. Amendments to AASB 7 add new disclosure requirements to enable users of financial statements to better understand the effect of these contracts on an entity's financial performance and cash flows. |
AASB 2025-3 | Amendments to AASs - Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity: Tier 2 Disclosures
Require a Tier 2 entity to disclose information about nature-dependent electricity contracts that meet the 'own-use' criteria and are recognised as procurement contracts. |
AASB 2022-9 | Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Insurance Contracts in the Public Sector
Public sector entities are required to apply AASB 17 Insurance Contracts for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2026. AASB 2022-9 outlines modifications to the standard AASB 17 which apply only to public sector entities. Effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2026, with earlier application permitted. |

|
AASB 2014-10 | Amendments to AASs - Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture
The amendments to AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures clarify that a full gain or loss is recognised when a transfer to an associate or joint venture involves a business as defined in AASB 3 Business Combinations.
