Notes to and Forming Part of the AccountsTHE KOOYONGA GOLF CLUB ForINCORPORATED the year ended 31 March 2017NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2017Note 1 - Statement of Significant Accounting PoliciesThe financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Accounting StandardsAustralian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and therequirements of the Associations Incorporation Act of 1985 (SA).The financial report of Kooyonga Golf Club Inc complies with all Australian equivalents to International Financial ReportingStandards (IFRS) in their entirety.Basis of PreparationThe financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs and does not take into accountchanging money values or, except where stated, current valuations of non-current assets. Cost is based on the fair values of theconsideration given in the exchange for assets. Unless otherwise stated, the accounting policies adopted are consistent with thoseof the previous year.The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the entity in preparation of the financial report. Theaccounting policies have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.a) Recognition of Revenue The Club records entrance fees as a non-operating revenue rather than as an item of operating revenue in the income statement.b) Income Tax The Club is exempt from income tax under Section 23(g)(iii) of the Income Tax Assessment Act . Therefore no tax has been provided in the accounts.c) Inventories Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.d) Property, Plant and Equipment Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Property Freehold land is shown at cost. Building is shown at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Plant and Equipment Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis less depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including buildings, but excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a straight line basis over their useful lives to the Club commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. The depreciation rates for each class of depreciable assets are:Page 8 Annual Report 2016/17 Page 33

Useful LivesCategory 5%Buildings- Brick & Stone 10%- Wood & Iron 10%Course developmentWatering system 4%Bores 5%Plant & equipment 10 -20%Computer equipment 30%Impairment of AssetsAt each reporting date, the Committee reviews the carrying values of its assets to determine whether there is any indicationthat those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher ofthe asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset's carrying value. Any excess of the asset'scarrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the income statement. Where it is not possible to determine recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Committee estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.e) Employee Benefits Provision is made for the Club's liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee benefits expected to be settled within one year together with benefits arising from salaries and wages, annual leave and sick leave which will be settled after one year, have been measured at their nominal amount. Other employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. In determining the liability for employee entitlements to long service leave the Club has satisfied itself that based on past experience, the accrual of the Club's long service leave liability based on remuneration rates and on costs current at balance date for all employees with five or more completed years of service provides an estimate of the long service leave liability notTHE KmOatOeYriaOllNy dGifAfeGreOntLfFroCmLtUheBeIsNtiCmOatRePdOetReArmTiEneDd using the present value basis of measurement.Nf)OTEGSooTdOsAanNdDsFerOvRicMesINtaGxP(GASRTT) OF THE ACCOUNTSFOR TRHevEenYuEeAs,RexEpeNnDseEsDan3d1 aMssAeRtsCaHre2r0ec1o7gnised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office.
