Interpretation
  In this order:   Australian equivalents to IFRSs has the same meaning as in accounting standard AASB 1 “First-time Adoption of Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards”.   eligible reporting entity means:   (a)                   in relation to the first financial year commencing on or after 1 January 2005 – a reporting entity which first adopts Australian equivalents to IFRS for that financial year and which includes in its financial report for that year an explicit and unreserved statement that the report complies with Australian equivalents to IFRSs; and   (b)       in relation to subsequent financial years – a reporting entity.   Note:      Accounting standard AASB 1 “First-time Adoption of Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards” is expressed to apply “when an entity first adopts Australian equivalents to IFRS”: see paragraph 4.  By paragraph 3 of that standard “[a]n entity’s first Australian-equivalents-to-IFRSs financial report is the first annual financial report in which the entity adopts Australian equivalents to IFRSs, by an explicit and unreserved statement in that financial report of compliance with Australian equivalents to IFRSs”.   measurement requirement means a requirement in an accounting standard that is relevant to working out the cost or other value to be attributed to an asset, liability, revenue, expense or other item that is covered by a recognition requirement.   recognition requirement means a requirement in an accounting standard that an asset, liability, revenue, expense or other item is to be expressly reported on, or incorporated in amounts expressly reported on, in a financial statement to which the standard relates.   reporting entity means a reporting entity as defined in Appendix A of accounting standard AASB 3 “Business Combinations”.     Dated this 26th day of July 2005         Signed by Brendan Byrne
