Significant Accounting Policies
Financial information for the Company, Woolworths Group Limited, has been prepared on the same
basis as the Consolidated Financial Statements. The following are accounting policies that are
significant to the Company only as the related transactions are either not material for the Group
or eliminated on consolidation.
Investments in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost and are tested for impairment in accordance
with the policy for the impairment of non-financial assets in Note 3.10. Dividends received from
subsidiaries are recognised in profit or loss when a right to receive the dividend is established.
Investments in associates
Investments in associates are initially recognised at cost, and are accounted for using the equity
method by including the Company's share of profit or loss and other comprehensive income
or loss of the associate in the carrying amount of the investment until the date on which significant
influence or joint control ceases. Dividends received reduce the carrying amount of the investment
in associate.
Lessor accounting
The Company recognises amounts due from lessees under finance leases as receivables at the
amount of the Company's net investment in the leases. Finance lease income is allocated
to accounting periods so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the Company's net
investment outstanding in respect of the leases. The Company recognises lease payments
received under operating leases as rental income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
