Trade and other receivables [abstract]
Trade and other receivables	15 TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES ACCOUNTING POLICIES Recognition and measurement Trade and other receivables, excluding Value Added Tax and prepayments, are non-derivative financial assets categorised as financial assets at amortised cost. These assets are initially measured at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method less any expected credit losses using the Group’s business model for managing its financial assets. The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred, or it neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and does not retain control over the transferred asset. Any interest in such derecognised financial assets that is created or retained by the Group is recognised as a separate asset or liability. Impairment The Group recognises loss allowances for trade and other receivables at an amount equal to expected credit losses (“ ECLs ”). The Group uses the simplified ECL approach. When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased since initial recognition and when estimating ECLs, the Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on informed credit assessments and including forward-looking information. The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Group is exposed to credit risk. ECLs are a probability weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the entity in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive). The Group assesses whether the financial asset is credit impaired at each reporting date. A financial asset is credit impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred, including but not limited to financial difficulty or default of payment. The Group will write off a financial asset when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering it after considering whether all means to recovery the asset have been exhausted, or the counterparty has been liquidated and the Group has assessed that no recovery is possible. Any impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss. Trade receivables relate to gold sold to the bullion banks. Settlement is usually received on the gold sold date. Previously trade receivables related to gold sold on the bullion market by Rand Refinery in its capacity as an agent for the Group. Settlement was usually received two working days from gold sold date.

CREDIT RISK The Group is exposed to credit risk on the total carrying value of its trade receivables and other receivables excluding Value Added Tax and prepayments. The Group manages its exposure to credit risk on trade receivables by selling gold on a cash on delivery basis. The Group manages its exposure to credit risk on other receivables by establishing a maximum payment period of 30 days, and ensuring that counterparties are of good credit standing and transacting on a secured or cash basis where considered necessary. The majority of other receivables, excluding the COVID-19 insurance claim, comprises balances with counterparties who have been transacting with the Group for over 5 years and in some of these cases, the counterparties are also suppliers of the Group. Receivables are regularly monitored and assessed for recoverability. The balances of counterparties who have been assessed as being credit impaired at reporting date are as follows: 2022 2021 Amounts in R million Non-credit impaired Credit impaired Non-credit impaired Credit impaired Trade receivables - - 56.5 - Other receivables 55.2 2.2 20.0 1.2 55.2 2.2 76.5 1.2 Loss allowance - (2.2) - (1.2) Movement in the allowance for impairment in respect of trade and other receivables during the year was as follows: Amounts in R million 2022 2021 Balance at the beginning of the year (1.2) (2.6) Credit loss allowance/impairments recognised included in operating costs (1.1) (0.2) Credit loss allowance/impairments reversed included in operating costs 0.1 1.3 Credit loss allowance written off against related receivable - 0.3 Balance at the end of the year (2.2) (1.2) MARKET RISK Interest rate risk Trade and other receivables do not earn interest and are therefore not subject to interest rate risk. Foreign currency risk Gold is sold at spot rates and is denominated in US Dollars. Gold sales are therefore exposed to fluctuations in the US Dollar/South African Rand exchange rate. All foreign currency transactions entered into during the year ended June 30, 2022 were at spot rates and no foreign exchange rate hedges are entered into. From April 11, 2022, The USD to be received from bullion sales are sold on the same date as the respective bullion sale to settle in ZAR to the Group. Prior to April 11, 2022, Rand Refinery, acting as an agent for the Group, sold the USD received from bullion sales on the same date as the respective bullion sale. As a result, trade receivables are not exposed to fluctuations in the US Dollar/South African Rand exchange rate. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The fair value of trade and other receivables approximate their carrying value due to their short-term maturities.
