Financial Reporting Code and Mandates Policy and Guidelines for FY 2024-25
NSW Treasury has released TPG 25-02 ‘Mandates of options and major policy decisions under Australian Accounting Standards’ (Mandates TPG) and TPG 25-03 ‘Financial reporting code for NSW General Government Sector Agencies’ (the Code).
The Mandates TPG is issued as a mandatory policy and applies to GSF agencies required to prepare general purpose financial statements under section 7.6 of the Government Sector Finance Act 2018 (GSF Act). The Mandates TPG does not apply to universities and their controlled entities. It supersedes and withdraws the previous version TPG 24-06.
The Mandates TPG updates the mandates of accounting policy options and major policy decisions under Australian Accounting Standards to be applied in entity financial statements for financial years ending on or after 30 June 2025.
The key changes to the Mandates TPG are to update the list of Standards issued but not yet effective and confirm that Accounting Standards generally cannot be early adopted.
The Code sets out the financial reporting framework for NSW GGS entities with illustrative guidance on the form and content of the financial statements, including the note disclosures for financial years ending on or after 30 June 2025. Special purpose staff agencies should refer to Treasury Circular TC15-07. The Code supersedes the previous version TPG 24-05.
The Code It is not mandatory in its entirety and NSW GGS entities can tailor the model to their individual circumstances. However, financial reports must be prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and other Treasury requirements, including the Mandates TPG.
The Code outlines that agencies should consider emerging financial reporting issues when preparing financial reports including the impact of climate risks. In preparing financial statements, agencies should consider climate related matters, if the effect of climate risk is material. This includes disclosures on key assumptions and judgements in preparing the financial statements. This requirement is separate to disclosures that are required by TPG 24-33 ‘Reporting framework for first year climate-related financial disclosures’. Under TPG24-33, entities in Phase 1 are required to prepare a separate report on climate-related financial disclosures, commencing in 2024-25.
Mandatory Early Close guidance for FY 2024-25
NSW Treasury issued TPG25-01: Agency Direction for 2024-25 Mandatory Early Close, which outlines the objectives and procedures that agencies need to carry out for the 2024-25 financial year. This TPG supersedes the previous TPG24-03: Agency Direction for the 2023-24 Mandatory Early Close. Key changes include:
- introduction of a Hard Close pilot for participating agencies
- refinement of mandatory early close procedures reflecting feedback from the sector last year
- incorporating the requirements from TD19-02: Mandatory Early Close as at 31 March each year into this TPG as the TD will be revoked shortly.
The table below outlines the returns the agencies are required to submit to the Treasury:
