The Treasury (NSW) has issued TPP15-04 that sets out the financial reporting framework for NSW General Government Sector entities. It outlines the form and content of financial statements, including the accompanying note disclosures.
It applies to all NSW General Government Sector entities from the financial year ending on or after 30 June 2016 and incorporates the requirements of Australian Accounting Standards applicable to GGS entities. It has been updated for miscellaneous amendments to the Accounting Standards and other revised Treasury Circulars and Treasury Policy Papers.
