    ACCOUNTING POLICY

    Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

    Provision is made for employee entitlement benefits accumulated as a result of employees rendering services up to the reporting date. Liabilities arising in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and other benefits due to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at rates which are expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Termination benefits are expensed at the earlier of when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits and when the Group recognises costs for a restructuring. If benefits are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date, then they are discounted.

    All other employee entitlement liabilities are measured at the present value of estimated payments to be made in respect of services rendered up to reporting date.
