Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. Provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as rehabilitation and restoration borrowing expense in the profit or loss. (i) Rehabilitation and restoration Long-term environmental obligations are based on the Group’s environmental management plans, in compliance with current environmental and regulatory requirements. Full provision is made based on the net present value of the estimated cost of rehabilitating and restoring the environmental disturbance that has occurred up to the reporting date. To the extent that future economic benefits are expected to arise, these costs are capitalised and amortised over the remaining lives of the mines. Annual increases in the provision relating to the change in the net present value of the provision are recognised as finance costs (and disclosed as Rehabilitation and restoration borrowing costs). The estimated costs of rehabilitation are reviewed annually and adjusted as appropriate for changes in legislation, technology or other circumstances. Cost estimates are not reduced by the potential proceeds from the sale of assets or from plant clean-up at closure. (ii) Employee benefits The provision for employee benefits represents annual leave and long service leave entitlements accrued by employees. Short-term obligations Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service, are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The amounts are presented as current employee entitlements in the balance sheet. Independence Group NL 24 IGO ANNUAL REPORT 2019 — 87
