    ACCOUNTING POLICY

    Borrowings

    Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, where applicable and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

    Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.

    Derivative financial instruments

    Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value using option pricing methodologies. Any directly attributable transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes are generally recognised in profit or loss.
