Social Benefits • Social Benefits are “benefits payable to individuals and households, in cash or in kind, to mitigate the effect of social risks.” • Social risks are “events or circumstances that may adversely affect the welfare of individuals and households either by imposing additional demands on their resources or by reducing their income.”
Description of Heritage Items • Items that are intended to be held indefinitely and preserved for the benefit of present and future generations because of their rarity and/or significance in relation, but not limited, to their archeological, architectural, agricultural, artistic, cultural, environmental, historical, natural, scientific or technological features.
Heritage Assets—Consultation Paper proposes: • Heritage items can be assets • Recognize heritage items if they meet recognition criteria: • Asset definition • Able to be measured • Measurement bases: • Historical cost • Replacement cost • Market value • Acknowledge non-recognition and recognition at symbolic/nominal value but question conceptual validity
Heritage Liabilities—Consultation Paper • Do heritage preservation intentions give rise to present obligations and liabilities? • Special characteristics of heritage items do not, of themselves, result in a present obligation • Entity is able to avoid an outflow of resources • Do not recognize a liability based only on intentions
