16A In addition to disclosing significant events and transactions in accordance with paragraphs 15–15C, an entity shall include the following information, in the notes to its interim financial statements or elsewhere in the interim financial report. The following disclosures shall be given either in the interim financial statements or incorporated by cross-reference from the interim financial statements to some other statement (such as management commentary or risk report) that is available to users of the financial statements on the same terms as the interim financial statements and at the same time. If users of the financial statements do not have access to the information incorporated by cross-reference on the same terms and at the same time, the interim financial report is incomplete. The information shall normally be reported on an annual reporting period-to-date basis.
(a) a statement that the same accounting policies and methods of computation are followed in the interim financial statements as compared with the most recent annual financial statements or, if those policies or methods have been changed, a description of the nature and effect of the change;
(b) explanatory comments about the seasonality or cyclicality of interim operations;
(c) the nature and amount of items affecting assets, liabilities, equity, net income or cash flows that are unusual because of their nature, size or incidence;
(d) the nature and amount of changes in estimates of amounts reported in prior interim periods of the current annual reporting period or changes in estimates of amounts reported in prior annual reporting periods;
(e) issues, repurchases and repayments of debt and equity securities;
(f) dividends paid (aggregate or per share) separately for ordinary shares and other shares;
(g) the following segment information (disclosure of segment information is required in an entity’s interim financial report only if AASB 8 Operating Segments requires that entity to disclose segment information in its annual financial statements):
(i) revenues from external customers, if included in the measure of segment profit or loss reviewed by the chief operating decision maker or otherwise regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker;
(ii) intersegment revenues, if included in the measure of segment profit or loss reviewed by the chief operating decision maker or otherwise regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker;
(iii) a measure of segment profit or loss;
(iv) a measure of total assets and liabilities for a particular reportable segment if such amounts are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and if there has been a material change from the amount disclosed in the last annual financial statements for that reportable segment;
