1 GENERALLY RECOGNISED ACCOUNTING PRACTICE (GRAP) Disclosure/Compliance Checklist GRAP Disclosure/Compliance Checklist Updated June 2012 Page 2 of 193 IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS The references in the body of the document are in relation to the Standards of GRAP as at 31 March 2012 and thus incorporate the latest improvements to the Standards. The specific Standards impacted by the ASB s 2012 improvements project are as listed below: GRAP 1: Presentation of Financial Statements GRAP 3: ACCOUNTING Policies, Changes in ACCOUNTING Estimates and Errors GRAP 7: Investments in Associates GRAP 9: Revenue from Exchange Transactions GRAP 12: Inventories GRAP 13: Leases GRAP 16: Investment Property GRAP 17: Property Plant and Equipment Note: The effective date for the improvements and updates to the abovementioned Standards is only 1 April 2013, but as earlier adoption of these improvements and updates is encouraged, this Disclosure/Compliance checklist has been developed to facilitate early adoption.

2 The checklist includes all Standards with an effective date even if the effective date is in a future reporting period such as GRAP 25 on Employee Benefits. Standards that have been approved by the ASB and are awaiting promulgation by the Minister of Finance, such as GRAP 107 on Mergers, have been excluded. DISCLAIMER This document serves as a checklist to assist in determining that the minimum requirements of the effective Standards of GRAP have been complied with. It should NOT be considered in isolation as a control for compliance or disclosure purposes. It is strongly recommended, that the Disclosure/Compliance Checklist be utilised in conjunction with the Applicable GRAP Standard(s) and that reliance be placed on the requirements of the individual GRAP Standard(s) rather than solely on this Disclosure/Compliance Checklist.
