180 Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2019 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D.) 2.4 Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d.) (y) Contract balances (cont’d.) Contract fulfillment assets (cont’d.) The Group utilises contract fulfilment assets over the expected contract period using a systematic basis that mirrors the pattern in which the Group transfers control of the service to the customer. The utilisation charge is included within cost of sales. A contract fulfillment assets is derecognised either when it is disposed of or when no further economic benefits are expected to flow from its use or disposal. Management is required to determine the recoverability of contract fulfillment assets. At each reporting date, the Group determines whether or not the contract fulfillment assets are impaired by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to the remaining amount of consideration that the Group expects to receive less the costs that relate to providing services under the relevant contract. (z) Segment reporting For management purposes, the Group is organised into operating segments based on their products and services which are independently managed by the respective segment managers responsible for the performance of the respective segments under their charge. The segment managers report directly to the management of the Company who regularly review the segment results in order to allocate resources to the segments and to assess the segment performance. Additional disclosures on each of these segments are shown in Note 44, including the factors used to identify the reportable segments and the measurement basis of segment information. (aa) Contingencies A contingent liability is: (i) A possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group; or (ii) A present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognised because: - It is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; or - The amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability. A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of uncertain future event(s) not wholly within the control of the Group. Contingent liabilities and assets are not recognised in the statement of financial positions of the Group, except for contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination that are present obligations and which the fair values can be reliably determined.
