NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 June 2020

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d) In preparing the financial statements of the Club, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency are recorded at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of the transaction. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Non- monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on retranslation of monetary items are included in profit or loss for the period. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are included in profit or loss for the period except for differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income. For such non-monetary items, any exchange component of that gain or loss is also recognised in other comprehensive income. Current and deferred tax are recognised as an expense or income in profit or loss, except when they relate to items credited or debited outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity), in which case that tax is also recognised outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively).

Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, and other short-term liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
