NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013
The financial statements are for SMSF Professionals’ Association of Australia Limited as an individual
entity, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. SMSF Professionals’ Association of Australia Limited is a
company limited by guarantee.
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Preparation
The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance
with Australian Accounting Standards (including Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the
Corporations Act 2001 applicable to Tier 3 Companies Limited by Guarantee.
Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the Australian Accounting Standards
Board (AASB) has concluded would result in financial statements containing relevant and reliable
information about transactions, events and conditions. Material accounting policies adopted in the
preparation of these financial statements are presented below and have been consistently applied unless
otherwise stated. The financial statements comply with all Australian equivalents to International Financial
Reporting Standards in their entirety.
The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs,
modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial
assets and financial liabilities.
Accounting Policies
a. Revenue
Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the
customers. Accordingly, subscriptions and sponsorship revenue is recognised on a pro rata basis
over the period to which they relate. Conference revenue is recognised upon completion of the
event.
Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method, which for floating rate
financial assets is the rate inherent in the instrument.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).
b. Property, Plant and Equipment
Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value as indicated, less,
where applicable, accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Plant and Equipment
Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis less depreciation and impairment losses.
The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in
excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the
basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the assets employment and
subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in
determining recoverable amounts.
Plant and equipment that have been contributed at no cost or for nominal cost are valued and
recognised at the fair value of the asset at the date it is acquired.
All repairs and maintenance are charged to the Income Statement during the financial period in
which they are incurred.

ACN 103 739 617
Page 13 of 29
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including buildings and capitalised lease assets is
depreciated on a straight line or diminishing value basis over the asset’s useful life to the entity
commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are
depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful
lives of the improvements.
The effective life used for each class of depreciable assets are:
Class of Fixed Asset Effective Life (years)
Office equipment 2 – 6
Office Improvements 5 – 40
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each
balance date.
Asset classes carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s
carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount.
These gains or losses are included in the income statement. When revalued assets are sold,
amounts included in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are transferred to retained
earnings.
c. Intangible assets
Intangible assets comprise iMIS costs, including the website, and are recognised as the expenses
are incurred. Costs are capitalised when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow; the
costs can be measured reliably; and the nature of the costs and stage of development of the
system and website are consistent with capitalisation under Australian Accounting Standards and
Interpretations. Capitalised costs are amortised once the system and website are operational,
over the useful life of the asset, which is estimated to be short.
d. Leases
Leases of fixed assets, where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of
the asset, but not the legal ownership, are transferred to the entity are classified as finance leases.
Finance leases are capitalised, recording an asset and a liability equal to the present value of the
minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values.
Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives where it is
likely that the entity will obtain ownership of the asset. Lease payments are allocated between the
reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period.
Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the
lessor, are charged as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Lease incentives under operating leases were taken to income in year one on the basis of
immateriality.
e. Impairment of Assets
At each reporting date, the entity reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets
to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an
indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value
less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the
asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the Income Statement.
SMSF Professionals’ Association of Australia Limited
ACN 103 739 617
Page 14 of 29
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013
Where the future economic benefits of the asset are not primarily dependent upon the asset’s ability to
generate net cash inflows and when the entity would, if deprived of the asset, replace its remaining future
economic benefits, value in use is determined as the depreciated replacement cost of an asset.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an assets class, the entity estimates the
recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the class of assets belong.
Where an impairment loss on revaluation of an asset is identified, this is debited against the revaluation
reserve in respect of the same class of asset to the extent that the impairment loss does not exceed the
amount in the revaluation reserve for that same class of asset.
f. Employee Benefits
Provision is made for the entity’s liability for employee benefits, including bonuses, arising from services
rendered by employees to balance date. Employee benefits expected to be settled within one year have
been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Other employee benefits
payable later than one year have been measured on a basis that approximates net present value.
Contributions are made by the entity to an employee superannuation fund and are charged as expenses
when incurred.
g. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at-call with banks, other short-term highly
liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts.
h. Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of
GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office. In these circumstances the GST is
recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of expense. Receivables
and payables in the Statement of Financial Position are shown inclusive of GST.
Cash flows are presented in the Cash flow Statement on a gross basis, except for the GST component of
investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
i. Income Tax
Non - member income of the company is only assessable for tax, as member income is exempt under the
Principle of Mutuality. Non member income includes sponsorship and conference income (less a
proportion of expenses) and interest income.
The charge for current income tax expenses is based on the profit (loss) for the year adjusted for any non-
assessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or are
substantively enacted by the balance date.
Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences
arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial
statements; and taxation losses. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of
an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable
profit or loss.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is
realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the income statement except where it relates to
items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against
equity.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be
available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.
The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the
assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the
economic entity will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and
comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013
j. Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the entity has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events,
for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably
measured. Provisions recognised represent the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the
obligation at reporting date.
k. Comparative Figures
Where required by Accounting Standards comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with
changes in presentation for the current financial year.
l. Accounts Payable and Other Payables
Accounts payable and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period
for goods and services received by the company during the reporting period which remain unpaid. The
balance is recognised as a current liability with the amounts normally paid within 30 days of recognition of
the liability.
m. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial statements based on
historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation
of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within
the company. Critical estimates include the percentage of time employees spend on mutual and non-
mutual activities and the percentage of non-members attending conferences, in determining the provision
for income tax.
n. New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Periods
The Australian Accounting Standards Board has issued new and amended Accounting Standards and
Interpretations that have mandatory application dates for future periods. The Company has decided
against early adoption of these Standards and Interpretations.

Notes:
1. These standards are intended to improve and simplify the approach for classification, measurement,
recognition and de-recognition of financial instruments.
2. This suite of six related standards were released to update existing standards to improve the accounting requirements for consolidated financial statements, joint arrangements, and off balance sheet vehicles. They also provide a single definition of “control”; remove the option to apply proportionate consolidation; and change disclosure requirements.
3. Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 13. That Standard sets out a framework for measuring Fair Value.
4. These Standards introduce a number of changes to accounting and presentation of defined benefit plans. 5. This Standard gives effect to the AASB’s Reduced Disclosure Requirements of AASB 1053’s differential
reporting framework and the two tiers of reporting requirements for preparing general purpose financial statements.
6. These Standards make amendments to a range of Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations as a consequence of the issue of AASB 9: Financial Instruments in December 2010.
7. The amendments brought by this Standard provide relief for first – time adopters of Australian Accounting Standards from having to reconstruct transactions that occurred before their transition date.
8. These amendments arise from the Trans – Tasman Convergence Project relating to Reduced Disclosure Requirements.
9. These amendments remove individual Key Management Personnel disclosure requirements in the Financial Statements of Disclosing Entities.

11. Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 119. 12. Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 119 from Reduced Disclosure
Requirements. 13. Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the issuance of IFRIC Interpretation 20 by the
IASB relating to the first – time adoption of Australian Accounting Standards. 14. This Standard principally amends AASB 7 Financial Instruments to enable users to evaluate the effect of
netting arrangements, including rights of set – off. 15. This Standard principally amends AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation, to address inconsistencies
in that Standard, including the meaning of rights of set – off. 16. This Standard adds an exemption to the retrospective application of AASB 1 First – Time Adoption of
Australian Accounting Standards relating to AASB 120 Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance, and AASB 139 Financial Instruments.
17. Amendments resulting from the 2009 – 2011 Annual Improvements Cycle including the repeat application of AASB 1 and clarification of comparative information requirements where a third balance sheet is required.
18. This Standard updates the Reduced Disclosure Requirement versions of the listed Standards for amendments to AASBs 2010-6; 12; 127; 2011-9; 2012-2; 2012-5; and 2012-6.
19. This Standard arises from editorial corrections to existing Standards relating to Reduced Disclosure Requirements.
20. This Standard amends the requirements of AASB 136 requiring additional information about fair value measurements and discount rates.
21. This Standard amends the requirements of AASB 139 to permit the continuation of hedge accounting in circumstances where a derivative, which has been designated as a hedging instrument, is novated from one counterparty to a central counterparty as a consequence of laws or regulations.
The AASB has issued the following Compiled Standards that are not new Standards. Unless indicated, all apply to accounting periods beginning on or after 01/01/2013. The Standards are:
AASB: 1*,2*,3*,5*,7*,8,10,11,12,13,101*,102,107*,108,110,112*,116,117,118*,127*,128,131,2011-7.
* Separate For - Profit and Not - For - Profit versions. The Not - For - Profit versions apply from 01/01/2014.
No other known or reliable estimable information relevant to assessing the possible impact of these Standards on the Entity is presently available, though it is anticipated that there will be no direct impact on the recognition and measurement criteria of amounts included in the Financial Statements. The financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2013 (including comparatives) were approved and authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on the date shown in the Directors’ Declaration.

Financial Risk Management Policies
Consisting of senior committee members, the finance committee’s overall risk management strategy seeks
to assist the company in meeting its financial targets, whilst minimising potential adverse effects on
financial performance. Risk management policies are approved and reviewed by the finance committee on
a regular basis. These include credit risk policies and future cash flow requirements.
Specific Financial Risk Exposures and Management
The main risks the company is exposed to through its financial instruments are interest rate risk, liquidity
risk, credit risk, price risk and market risk.
a. Interest rate risk
Exposure to interest rate risk arises on financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at
reporting date whereby a future change in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value
of fixed rate financial instruments.
The company’s exposure to interest rate risk and the effective weighted average interest rates on
its financial assets and financial liabilities, is as follows:
Weighted Average Floating Interest Rate Fixed Interest Rate Maturing
Effective Interest Rate Within 1 Year 1 to 5 Years

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013
NOTE 19: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
b. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the company might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or
otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. The company manages this risk through
the following mechanisms:
— preparing forward looking cash flow analysis in relation to its operational, investing and financing
activities;
— maintaining a reputable credit profile;
— managing credit risk related to financial assets;
— investing only in surplus cash with major financial institutions; and
— comparing the maturity profile of financial liabilities with the realisation profile of financial assets.
c. Credit risk
Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non-performance by counter
parties of contract obligations that could lead to a financial loss to the company.
Credit risk is managed through the maintenance of procedures (such procedures include the utilisation of
systems for the approval, granting and removal of credit limits, regular monitoring of exposures against
such limits and monitoring of the financial stability of significant customers and counter parties), ensuring
to the extent possible, that customers and counter parties to transactions are of sound credit worthiness.
Such monitoring is used in assessing receivables for impairment.
Risk is also minimised through investing surplus funds in financial institutions that maintain a high credit
rating, or in entities that the finance committee has otherwise cleared as being financially sound. Where
the company is unable to ascertain a satisfactory credit risk profile in relation to a customer or counter
party, then risk may be further managed by retention clauses over goods or obtaining security by way of
personal or commercial guarantees over assets of sufficient value which can be claimed against in the
event of any default.
Credit Risk Exposures
The maximum exposure to credit risk by class of recognised financial assets at balance date is
equivalent to the carrying value and classification of those financial assets (net of any provisions) as
presented in the statement of financial position.
Trade and other receivables that are neither past due or impaired are considered to be of high credit
quality. Aggregates of such amounts are as detailed in Note 6.
The company does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or group of
receivables under financial instruments entered into by the company. The trade receivables balance at
30 June 2013 and 30 June 2012 do not include any counter parties with external credit ratings.
Aged Analysis
The ageing analysis of receivables is as follows: 2013 2012 $ $

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013
NOTE 19: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
d. Price risk
Price risk relates to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will
fluctuate because of changes in market prices largely due to demand and supply factors for
commodities.
The company is not presently exposed to price risk other than to ensure the appropriateness of
subscription rates for Membership; and of Sponsorship opportunities.
e. Market risk
The company is subject to the normal economic indicators including volatility in Stock markets,
foreign exchange and interest rates.
f. Sensitivity analysis
In the directors’ opinion a sensitivity analysis of reasonably possible variances in the above risks
would not show material impacts on the company’s financial position or performance.
g. Net fair values
The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities approximate the carrying values presented
in the Statement of Financial Position at Balance Date.
NOTE 20: CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The directors control the capital of the entity to ensure that it can fund its operations and continue as a
going concern.
Being a Company Limited by Guarantee, it has no Ordinary Shares other than Foundation Subscriptions,
which are supported by financial assets and liabilities.
The entity has no external debt and there are no externally imposed capital requirements.
The directors effectively manage the entity’s capital by assessing the entity’s financial risks and responding
to changes in these risks and in the market. These responses may include Members subscriptions and
Sponsorship opportunities.
There have been no changes to the strategy adopted by management to control the capital of the entity
since the previous year.
