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withdrawn.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 />
