RACING AUSTRALIA ANNUAL REPORT 2016
(q) Trade and other Receivables
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value
and subsequently measured at amortised cost using
the effective interest method, less any provision for
impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for
settlement within 30 days.
Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on
an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be
uncollectable are written off using the carrying amount
directly.
Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost,
less any provision for impairment.
(r) Borrowings
Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair
value of the consideration received, net of transaction
costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised
cost using the effective interest method.
(s) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the consolidate
entity has a present (legal or constructive) obligation
as a result of a past event. It is probable that the
consolidated entity will be required to settle the
obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the
amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as
a provision is the best estimate of the consideration
required to value the present obligation at the reporting
date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties
surrounding the obligation. If the time value of money
is material, provisions are discounted using a current
pre-tax rate specific to the liability. The increase in
the provision resulting from the passage of time is
recognised as a finance cost.
