and south africa Annual Report 2015/2016 Operating leases – lessee Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The difference between the amounts recognised as an expense and the contractual payments are recognised as an operating lease asset or liability. 1.9 Employee benefits Employee benefits are all forms of consideration given by Brand SA in exchange for services rendered by employees. A qualifying insurance policy is an insurance policy issued by an insurer that is not a related party (as defined in the Standard of GRAP on Related Party Disclosures) of Brand SA, if the proceeds of the policy can be used only to pay or fund employee benefits and are not available to Brand SA’s own creditors (even in liquidation) and cannot be paid to Brand SA, unless either: • the proceeds represent surplus assets that are not needed for the policy to meet all the related employee benefit obligations; or • the proceeds are returned to Brand SA to reimburse it for employee benefits already paid. Termination benefits are employee benefits payable as a result of either: • Brand SA’s decision to terminate an employee’s employment before the normal retirement date; or • an employee’s decision to accept voluntary redundancy in exchange for those benefits. Other long-term employee benefits are employee benefits (other than post-employment benefits and termination benefits) that are not due to be settled within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. Vested employee benefits are employee benefits that are not conditional on future employment. Composite social security programmes are established by legislation and operate as multi-employer plans to provide post-employment benefits as well as to provide benefits that are not consideration in exchange for services rendered by employees. A constructive obligation is an obligation that derives from Brand SA’s actions whereby an established pattern of past practice, published policies or a sufficiently specific current statement, Brand SA has indicated to other parties that it will accept certain responsibilities and as a result, Brand SA has created a valid expectation on the part of those other parties that it will discharge those responsibilities. Short-term employee benefits Short-term employee benefits are employee benefits (other than termination benefits) that are due to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. Short-term employee benefits include items such as: • wages, salaries and social security contributions; • short-term compensated absences (such as paid annual leave and paid sick leave) where the compensation for the absences is due to be settled within 12 months after the end of the reporting period in which the employees render the related employee service; • bonus, incentive and performance related payments payable within 12 months after the end of the reporting period in which the employees render the related service; and • non-monetary benefits (for example, medical care, and free or subsidised goods or services such as housing, cars and cellphones) for current employees. When an employee has rendered a service to Brand SA during a reporting period, Brand SA recognises the undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service: • as a liability (accrued expense), after deducting any amount already paid. If the amount already paid exceeds the undiscounted amount of the benefits, Brand SA recognises that excess as an asset (prepaid expense) to the extent that the pre-payment will lead to, for example, a reduction in future payments or a cash refund; and • as an expense, unless another Standard requires or permits the inclusion of the benefits in the cost of an asset. The expected cost of compensated absences is recognised as an expense as the employees render services that increase their entitlement or, in the case of non-accumulating absences, when the absence occurs. Brand SA measures the expected cost of accumulating compensated absences as the additional amount that the entity expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date. Brand SA recognises the expected cost of bonus, incentive and performance related payments when Brand SA has a present legal or constructive obligation to make such payments as a result of past events and a reliable estimate of the obligation can be made. A present obligation exists when Brand SA has no realistic alternative but to make the payments. Post-employment benefits Post-employment benefits are employee benefits (other than termination benefits) which are payable after the completion of employment. Post-employment benefit plans are formal or informal arrangements under which Brand SA provides post-employment benefits for one or more employees. Umbrella Funds are defined contribution plans (other than state plans and composite social security programmes) or defined benefit plans (other than state plans) that pool the assets contributed by various entities that are not under common control and use those assets to provide benefits to employees of more than one entity, on the basis that contribution and benefit levels are determined without regard to the identity of the entity that employs the employees concerned. Post-employment benefits: Defined contribution plans Defined contribution plans are post-employment benefit plans under which Brand SA pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets 98
to pay all employee benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. When an employee has rendered a service to Brand SA during a reporting period, Brand SA recognises the contribution payable to a defined contribution plan in exchange for that service: • as a liability (accrued expense), after deducting any contribution already paid. If the contribution already paid exceeds the contribution due for service before the reporting date, Brand SA recognises that excess as an asset (prepaid expense) to the extent that the pre-payment will lead to, for example, a reduction in future payments or a cash refund; and • as an expense, unless another Standard requires or permits the inclusion of the contribution in the cost of an asset. Where contributions to a defined contribution plan do not fall due wholly within 12 months after the end of the reporting period in which the employees render the related service, they are discounted. The rate used to discount reflects the time value of money. The currency and term of the financial instrument selected to reflect the time value of money is consistent with the currency and estimated term of the obligation. Termination benefits Brand SA recognises termination benefits as a liability and an expense when the entity is demonstrably committed to either: • terminate the employment of an employee or group of employees before the normal retirement date; or • provide termination benefits as a result of an offer made in order to encourage voluntary redundancy. Brand SA is demonstrably committed to a termination when the entity has a detailed formal plan for the termination and is without realistic possibility of withdrawal. The detailed plan includes [as a minimum]: • the location, function, and approximate number of employees whose services are to be terminated; • the termination benefits for each job classification or function; and • the time at which the plan will be implemented. Implementation begins as soon as possible and the period of time to complete implementation is such that material changes to the plan are not likely. Where termination benefits fall due more than 12 months after the reporting date, they are discounted using an appropriate discount rate. The rate used to discount the benefit reflects the time value of money. The currency and term of the financial instrument selected to reflect the time value of money is consistent with the currency and estimated term of the benefit. In the case of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy, the measurement of termination benefits shall be based on the number of employees expected to accept the offer. 1.10 Provisions and contingencies Provisions are recognised when: • Brand SA has a present obligation as a result of a past event; • it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits or service potential will be required to settle the obligation; and • a reliable estimate can be made of the obligation. The amount of a provision is the best estimate of the expenditure expected to be required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date. Where the effect of time value of money is material, the amount of a provision is the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation. The discount rate is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. Where termination benefits fall due more than 12 months after the reporting date, they are discounted using an appropriate discount rate. The rate used to discount the benefit reflects the time value of money. The currency and term of the financial instrument selected to reflect the time value of money is consistent with the currency and estimated term of the benefit. Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. Provisions are reversed if it is no longer probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits or service potential will be required, to settle the obligation. Where discounting is used, the carrying amount of a provision increases in each period to reflect the passage of time. This increase is recognised as an interest expense. A provision is used only for expenditures for which the provision was originally recognised. Provisions are not recognised for future operating deficits. If an entity has a contract that is onerous, the present obligation (net of recoveries) under the contract is recognised and measured as a provision. Contingent assets and contingent liabilities are not recognised. Contingencies are disclosed in note 27. A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument. Loan commitment is a firm commitment to provide credit under pre-specified terms and conditions. Brand SA recognises a provision for financial guarantees and loan commitments when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits and service potential will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the obligation can be made. Determining whether an outflow of resources is probable in relation to financial guarantees requires judgement. Indications that an outflow of resources may be probable are: • financial difficulty of the debtor; • defaults or delinquencies in interest and capital repayments by the debtor; 99
