NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF


1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Hamilton Rouse Hill Trust was established on

27 October 1994 as a non-profit entity to hold collection

items in and about Rouse Hill House. As a New South

Wales Government entity it is consolidated into the

Historic Houses Trust of New South Wales (HHT) accounts,

which are part of the NSW Total State Sector Accounts.

The Board of Directors unanimously resolved to wind up

the Trust pursuant to clause 12 of the Trust Deed on 16

June 2015 and transferred the collection assets valued at

$944,230 to the Historic Houses Trust of NSW.

The financial statements were authorised for issue

by the Directors of the Trust on 6 August 2015.

A) BASIS OF PREPARATION

The financial statements are general-purpose

financial statements that have been prepared in

accordance with:

Public Finance and Audit

Act 1983

The financial statements are for the Hamilton Rouse

Hill Trust as an individual entity.

Judgments, key assumptions and estimations made

by management are disclosed in the relevant notes

to the financial statements.

All amounts are rounded to the nearest dollar and

are expressed in Australian currency.

B) CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICY, INCLUDING NEW

OR REVISED AUSTRALIAN ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

(i) E4ective for the first time in 2014–15

The accounting policies applied in 2014–15 are

consistent with those of the previous financial year

except as a result of the following new or revised

Australian Accounting Standards that have been

applied for the first time in 2014–15 – AASB 10

and AASB 128 regarding consolidated financial

statements and accounting for associates and

joint ventures. The impact of this Standard in the

period of initial application includes reporting

consolidated financial statements.

(ii) Issued but not yet e4ective

NSW public sector entities are not permitted

to early adopt new Australian Accounting

Standards, unless Treasury determines otherwise.

The following new Australian Accounting Standards

have not been applied and are not yet e6ective:

There are no significant impacts of these

standards in the period of initial application.

c) Statement of compliance

The financial statements and notes comply with

Australian Accounting Standards, which include

Australian Accounting Interpretations.

156


D) COLLECTIONS

Collections are valued in accordance with

TPP 14-1: Guidelines for the Valuation of Physical

Non-Current Assets at Fair Value. This policy adopts

fair value in accordance with AASB 116: Property,

Plant and Equipment and AASB 13: Fair Value.

There is no substantive di6erence between the fair

value methodology and the previous valuation

methodology adopted in the NSW public sector.

The Trust’s collections have been valued by accredited

valuers at their fair market value and are brought to

account at those values. They are not depreciated.

Revaluation increments are credited directly to the

asset revaluation surplus, except that, to the extent

that an increment reverses a revaluation decrement

in respect of that class of asset previously recognised

as an expense in the net result, the increment is

recognised immediately as revenue in the net result.

Revaluation decrements are recognised immediately

as expenses in the net result, except that, to the extent

that a credit balance exists in the asset revaluation

surplus in respect of the same class of assets, they

are debited directly to the asset revaluation surplus.

Revaluation increments and decrements are o6set

against one another within a class of non-current

assets, but not otherwise. Where an asset that has

previously been revalued is disposed of, any balance

remaining in the asset revaluation reserve in respect

of that asset is transferred to accumulated funds.

E) FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY

A number of the Trust’s accounting policies and

disclosures require the measurement of fair

values, for both financial and non-financial assets

and liabilities. When measuring fair value, the

valuation technique used maximises the use of

relevant observable inputs and minimises the use

of unobservable inputs. Under AASB 13, the Trust

categorises, for disclosure purposes, the valuation

techniques based on the inputs used in the valuation

techniques as follows:

The Trust recognises transfers between levels of the

fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period

during which the change has occurred.

2 CASH RECEIVABLES

The Hamilton Rouse Hill Trust does not have a separate

bank account.

3 COLLECTION ASSETS

Pursuant to a chattels sale agreement, the Hamilton

Rouse Hill Collection was acquired on 27 October 1994.

Collection assets were revalued in 2014 at fair value

using techniques outlined in Note 4(b) by external valuers

Andrew Simpson and Jonathan Alford conforming to

AASB 116 and in accordance with TPP 14-01.

Following the decision to wind up the Trust these

collection assets have been formally transferred to the

Historic Houses Trust of NSW e6ective from 30 June 2015.

(b) Valuation techniques, inputs and processes

Collection assets are valued by external and internal experts to reflect the fair value. The collection assets are

reviewed for external revaluation at least every five years as part of a rolling revaluation schedule across the HHT.

The review is undertaken by the HHT Valuations Committee, comprised of curatorial representatives from the

properties as well as Register, Documentation and the head of Collections and Access, which is convened annually

to identify those collection formats which might have altered since the last valuation, whether or not that valuation

was made within the five-year rolling schedule. The committee contracts one or more external valuers with

appropriate expertise in the collection formats that have been identified for revaluation.
