The monies held in trust account are disclosed as cash and cash equivalents in DPC’s administered items note to financial statements. These funds belong to, and are available for operations of, the Commission.
Contractual receivables
Contractual receivables are classified as financial instruments and measured at amortised cost. They are initially recognised at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
There are no financial assets that have had their terms renegotiated so as to prevent them from being past due or impaired, and they are stated at the carrying amounts as indicated.
Statutory receivables
Statutory receivables do not arise from contracts and are recognised and measured similarly to contractual receivables (except for impairment) but are not classified as financial instruments.
