MISC Annual Report 2019

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D.) 2.3 Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d.) (o) Income tax (cont’d.) The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax assets to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax assets to be utilised. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside the income statement is recognised outside the income statement. Deferred tax items are recognised in relation to the underlying transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. Deferred tax arising from a business combination is adjusted against goodwill on acquisition. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority. (p) Provisions Provisions are recognised when all of the following conditions have been satisfied: - the Group and the Corporation have a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event; - it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; and - a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the accretion in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. Possible obligations whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events, not wholly within the control of the Group and the Corporation, are not recognised in the financial statements but are disclosed as contingent liabilities, unless the possibility of an outflow of economic resources is considered remote. Provision for warranty is made based on service histories to cover the estimated liability that may arise during the warranty period. Any surplus provision will be written back at the end of the warranty period, while additional provision is made as and when necessary. (q) Employee benefits (i) Short term benefits Wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as an expense in the period in which the associated services are rendered by employees. Short term accumulating compensated absences such as paid annual leave are recognised when services are rendered by employees that increase their entitlement to future compensated absences. Short term non-accumulating compensated absences such as sick leave are recognised when the absences occur. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D.) 2.3 Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d.) (q) Employee benefits (cont’d.) (ii) Defined contribution plans Defined contribution plans are post-employment benefit plans, under which the Group and the Corporation pay fixed contributions into separate entities or funds and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions if any of the funds do not hold sufficient assets to pay all employee benefits relating to employee services in the current period and preceding financial years. Such contributions are recognised as an expense in the income statement as incurred. As required by law, companies in Malaysia make such contributions to the Employees Provident Fund (“EPF”). Some of the Group’s foreign subsidiaries also make contributions to their respective countries’ statutory and/or voluntary pension schemes. (iii) Termination benefits Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated before the normal retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Group and the Corporation recognise termination benefits as a liability and an expense when it is demonstrably committed to either terminate the employment of current employees according to a detailed plan without possibility of withdrawal, or providing termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. In the case of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy, the measurement of termination benefits is based on the number of employees expected to accept the offer. Benefits falling due more than twelve months after reporting date are discounted to present value. (r) Foreign currencies (i) Functional and presentation currency The individual financial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”). The functional currency of the Corporation is United States Dollar (“USD”). The Group’s and the Corporation’s financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”). (ii) Foreign currency transactions In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (“foreign currencies”) are recorded using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency at the rates prevailing on the reporting date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at 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, or on translating monetary items at the reporting date are included in the income statement, except for exchange differences arising on monetary items that form part of the Group’s net investment in foreign operation, which are recognised initially in other comprehensive income and accumulated under foreign currency translation reserve in equity. The foreign currency translation reserve is reclassified from equity to income statement of the Group on disposal of the foreign operation. Exchange differences arising on monetary items that form part of the Group’s net investment in foreign operation, where that monetary item is denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of either the reporting entity or the foreign operation, are recognised in the income statement for the year. Exchange differences arising on monetary items that form part of the Corporation’s net investment in foreign operation, regardless of the currency of the monetary item, are recognised in the income statement of the Corporation’s financial statements or the individual financial statements of the foreign operation, as appropriate.
