Study Notes

Indigenous Business Engagement

Supply Nation is a platform established in 2009 connecting Indigenous businesses with non-Indigenous organizations.
The platform provides a verified list of Indigenous Australian businesses across sectors like manufacturing and drone technology.
Supply Nation aims to encourage more engagement between Indigenous businesses and the wider Australian market, fostering economic opportunities and reconciliation.

Reconciliation Action Plans (RAPs)

RAPs are a framework for non-Indigenous organizations to demonstrate commitment to reconciliation with Indigenous communities.
Developed by Reconciliation Australia, a non-profit organization promoting reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.
RAPs focus on historical acceptance, race relations, equality, equity, and institutional integrity.
Example: Rio Tinto's destruction of a sacred heritage site highlights the importance of genuine reconciliation and engagement.

Black Cladding

A practice where non-Indigenous businesses unfairly exploit Indigenous businesses to gain access to contracts and opportunities.
This undermines the intended benefits of the federal government's Indigenous Procurement Policy, which aims to stimulate Indigenous employment and economic development.

Conceptual Framework: Assets and Liabilities

Assets: Resources controlled by an entity from which future economic benefits are expected.
- Recognition Criteria: Probable future benefits and reliable measurement of cost or value.
Liabilities: Present obligations arising from past events, requiring an outflow of economic resources.
- Recognition Criteria:
  - Existence of an obligation.
  - Transfer of an economic resource.
  - Present obligation arising from past events.

Incentives to Adjust Earnings

Managers may adjust earnings to meet or beat analyst expectations, boost share price, or avoid breaching debt contract clauses.

Agency Problem

Information asymmetry can lead to conflict between principals (those who provide capital) and agents (management).

Deferred Tax Asset (DTA)

A resource controlled by an entity due to past events, expected to generate future economic benefits in the form of reduced tax liabilities.

Deferred Tax Liability (DTL)

A present obligation arising from past events, resulting in an outflow of economic benefits through future tax payments.

Tax

A mandatory charge imposed by a government on individuals, businesses, or entities to fund public expenditures and government operations.

Leases/Right of Use

A lease contract grants the right to use an asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The right-of-use asset represents the lessee's right to use the underlying asset.
