for the year ended 30 June 2024 61 Westgold Resources Limited Annual Report 2024 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. CORPORATE INFORMATION The financial report of Westgold Resources Limited for the year ended 30 June 2024 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 28 August 2024. Westgold Resources Limited (the Company or the Parent) is a for profit company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange, Toronto Stock Exchange and the OTC Best Market. The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are described in the Directors Report. The address of the registered office is Level 6, 200 St Georges Terrace, Perth WA 6000. 2. S UMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) Basis of Preparation The financial report is a general-purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board. The financial report has been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial assets, which have been measured at fair value through profit or loss. The financial report is presented in Australian dollars. (b) Statement of compliance The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards as issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and also International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Adoption of new accounting standards In the current year, the Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to its operations and effective for annual reporting periods beginning on 1 July 2023. Other than the changes described in Note 37, the accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year. (c) Basis of consolidation and business combinations The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the parent entity and its subsidiaries (the Group) as at 30 June each year. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has: – Power over the investee (existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee); – Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and – The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns. When the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including: – The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee; – Rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and – The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights. The Group re-assesses whether it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group’s accounting policies. All intercompany transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation. Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, which is measured at acquisition date fair value, and the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree. For each business combination, the Group elects whether to measure the non-controlling interests in the acquiree at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred and included in Acquisition and integration costs. The Group determines that it has acquired a business when the acquired set of activities and assets include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The acquired process is considered substantive if it is critical to the ability to continue producing outputs, and the inputs acquired include an organised workforce with the necessary skills, knowledge, or experience to perform that process or it significantly contributes to the ability to continue producing outputs and is considered unique or scarce or cannot be replaced without significant cost, effort, or delay in the ability to continue producing outputs. When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date.
