<strong>Property</strong> Loans<br />

Why significant<br />

The <strong>Group</strong> provides mortgage loans to external<br />

parties for which the underlying security is<br />

primarily development property assets.<br />

This was considered a key audit matter as the<br />

assessment of the recoverability of the loans,<br />

including any capitalised interest, is subject to<br />

significant judgment as to the value of underlying<br />

security or performance of the underlying<br />

development. Changes in feasibility assumptions<br />

impacting project cashflows may give rise to an<br />

impairment of the loans.<br />

Some of the loan arrangements include a profit<br />

share component that entitles the <strong>Group</strong> to<br />

additional returns, depending on the outcome of<br />

the underlying development. There are complex<br />

accounting judgments relating to the amount and<br />

timing of revenue recognition for these<br />

participation rights.<br />

Disclosure of property loans is included in note 7<br />

of the financial report.<br />

Disclosure of revenue recognition policies is<br />

included in Note 22(f) of the financial report.<br />

How our audit addressed the key audit matter<br />

Our audit procedures included the following:<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

We considered the <strong>Group</strong>’s assessment of<br />

recoverability of the loans.<br />

We evaluated the adequacy of the security on a<br />

sample of loans by assessing the feasibilities of<br />

the underlying development asset. For this<br />

sample we assessed the feasibility by<br />

performing procedures consistent with those<br />

performed on Inventories as set out in the<br />

inventories key audit matter below.<br />

For a sample of properties, where a valuation<br />

was obtained as part of the recoverability<br />

assessment performed by the <strong>Group</strong>, we<br />

assessed the valuation by performing<br />

procedures consistent with those performed on<br />

Investment property valuations referred to in<br />

the preceding key audit matter.<br />

We assessed the qualifications, competence and<br />

objectivity of the valuers, the assumptions used<br />

in the valuations and evaluated the suitability of<br />

the valuation methodology for valuations<br />

obtained.<br />

We evaluated the classification of loans and the<br />

status of the underlying property supporting<br />

recoverability based on the expected timing of<br />

settlement and the status of the underlying<br />

developments.<br />

We assessed the <strong>Group</strong>’s framework for<br />

recognising additional revenue for loans with<br />

profit share arrangements and re-performed the<br />

<strong>Group</strong>’s calculations based on the underlying<br />

development financial information.<br />
