TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLES | | | | | | | ACCOUNTING POLICIES Trade and other payables, excluding Value Added Tax, payroll accruals, accrued leave pay and accrual for performance- based incentives, are non-derivative financial liabilities categorised as financial liabilities measured at amortised cost. These liabilities are initially measured at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual rights are discharged or cancelled or expire. Short term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably. | | | | |
