AASB 119 Employee Benefits The main change introduced by this standard<br />
is to revise the accounting for defined benefit<br />
plans. The amendment removes the options<br />
for accounting for the liability, and requires<br />
that the liabilities arising from such plans is<br />
recognised in full with actuarial gains and<br />
losses being recognised in other<br />
comprehensive income. It also revised the<br />
method of calculating the return on plan<br />
assets. The definition of short-term benefits<br />
has been revised, meaning some annual<br />
leave entitlements may become long-term<br />
in nature with a revised measurement.<br />
Similarly the timing for recognising a<br />
provision for termination benefits has been<br />
revised, such that provisions can only be<br />
recognised when the offer cannot be<br />
withdrawn.<br />

This Standard establishes a differential<br />
financial reporting framework consisting<br />
of two Tiers of reporting requirements for<br />
preparing general purpose financial<br />
statements.<br />
Only applicable to Tier 2 entities. This<br />
standard makes amendments to many<br />
Australian Accounting Standards, reducing<br />
the disclosure requirements for Tier 2 entities<br />
(identified in accordance with AASB 1053)<br />
preparing general purpose financial<br />
statements.<br />
The requirements for classifying and<br />
measuring financial liabilities were added<br />
to AASB 9. The existing requirements for<br />
the classification of financial liabilities and<br />
the ability to use the fair value option have<br />
been retained.<br />
This standard makes amendments to the<br />
application of the revised disclosures to<br />
Tier 2 entities that are applying AASB 1053.<br />
