References to Australian Accounting Standards
Each item reported under this Reporting Standard aligns with the Accounting Standards made by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB). The applicable AASB references are specified with each item. The AASB reference provides a written description of the accounting meaning of an IFRS Taxonomy element.
IFRS taxonomy element reference
Each IFRS taxonomy element contains at least one cross-reference to an AASB Standard (that incorporates IFRS 17 Standards as issued and amended by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB)) and has a reference type that can be used to identify the source of that element. The IFRS Taxonomy uses the following element reference types:
(a) disclosure—an element of this type depicts a presentation or disclosure requirement of an IFRS/AASB Standard;
(b) example—an element of this type represents an example provided in an IFRS/AASB Standard or its accompanying materials; and
(c) common practice—an element of this type reflects common reporting practice within IFRS/AASB financial statements they not specifically mentioned in IFRS/AASB Standards or their accompanying materials, but are consistent with IFRS/AASB Standards. They have been found to be frequently disclosed across a range of companies and accounting jurisdictions.
Assets for insurance acquisition cash flows
Any assets recognised for insurance acquisition cash flows paid under AASB 17.28B (pre-coverage or relating to renewals) are included as part of the carrying amount of the related portfolios of insurance contracts issued (in accordance with AASB 17.79). Similarly, any assets or liabilities for cash flows related to portfolios of reinsurance contracts held are reported in accordance with AASB 17.79.
