The applicable AASB references are specified with each item. AASB reference provides a written description of the accounting meaning of an IFRS Taxonomy 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.
