Fair value measurements categorised by fair value hierarchy

The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured at fair value by valuation method. The different levels are defined below:

Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

Level 2 - Fair value derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the instrument, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 - Fair value derived from inputs that are not based on observable market data

Note 23C. Credit Risk

The administered activities of DVA were not exposed to a high level of credit risk as the majority of financial assets are cash and investments in government controlled and funded entities. The maximum exposure to credit risk at reporting date in relation to each class of administered financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets as indicated on the Administered Schedule of Assets and Liabilities. As these financial assets consist of cash and investment in government controlled and funded entity, the risk of default is minimal if not nil. DVA manages its credit risk by undertaking background and credit checks prior to allowing a debtor relationship. In addition, DVA has policies and procedures in place that guide employees in debt recovery techniques that are to be applied.

DVA assessed the risk of the default on payment and has not identified any amounts to be allocated as impaired.

DVA held no collateral to mitigate against credit risk.

Note 23D. Liquidity Risk

DVA’s financial liabilities are payables related to health care and other payables. The exposure to liquidity risk is based on the notion that DVA will encounter difficulty in meeting its obligations associated with financial liabilities. This is highly unlikely as DVA is appropriated funding from the Australian Government and DVA manages its budgeted funds to ensure it has adequate funds to meet payments as they fall due. In addition, DVA has policies in place to ensure timely payments are made when due and has no past experience of default.
