The Consolidated Entity’s financial investments include a portfolio of unlisted equity investments which, in accordance with the Consolidated Entity’s accounting policies, are measured at FVTPL.

of the impact of COVID-19.

Loan assets, due from subsidiaries and other assets
In response to COVID-19 the Consolidated Entity and the Company undertook a review of wholesale and retail credit portfolios, loans to its subsidiaries and other financial asset exposures, as applicable, and the ECL for each. The review considered the macroeconomic outlook, customer credit quality, the type of collateral held, exposure at default, and the effect of payment deferral options as at the reporting date. The ECL methodology, SICR thresholds, and definition of default remained consistent with prior periods. The model inputs, including forward-looking information, scenarios and associated weightings, together with the determination of the staging of exposures were however revised. The impact of COVID-19 on the credit risk management disclosures, notably in relation to credit quality and collateral and other credit enhancements was also considered.

Interest in associates and joint ventures, investments in subsidiaries and interests in unconsolidated structured entities
The Consolidated Entity’s investments in associates and joint ventures is diversified, has been acquired over time and covers various sectors (including infrastructure and green energy) and geographic locations. When it has been assessed that there is an indicator of impairment the Consolidated Entity tests the carrying amount of each of its investments for impairment, by comparing the investment’s recoverable amount with its carrying value. Disclosures with respect to the Consolidated Entity’s equity accounted interests in Macquarie AirFinance Limited, East Anglia ONE Limited and Macquarie Infrastructure Corporation (MIC) have been provided. In addition to the Company assessing its investments in subsidiaries for impairment, the Company and Consolidated Entity re-affirmed that there were no circumstances as a result of COVID-19 that would affect the existing control conclusion for its subsidiaries, including structured entities, nor did it highlight instances in which the Company or Consolidated Entity now had control of such entities. Refer to Note 14 and Note 16 (Not reproduced).

Intangible assets
Consistent with the Consolidated Entity’s accounting policies, the Consolidated Entity has tested goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets for impairment and has reviewed the carrying value of its finite life intangible assets at the reporting date for indicators of impairment and, where applicable, reviewed the measurement of the carrying value of such intangible assets. Such assessment incorporated a consideration of COVID-19. Refer to Note 15.3.

Debt issued and loan capital
Debt-related covenants were assessed to determine whether there were any breaches for which disclosure is required. The Consolidated Entity identified no such breaches at 31 March 2020 nor at the time at which these financial statements were authorised for issue. Refer to Note 223 and Note 24.3.

Hedge accounting
An assessment was conducted as to the impact of COVID-19 with respect to whether the hedged forecasted cash flows in cash flow hedge relationships remain highly probable at the balance date. Based on available facts as at 31 March 2020, including announcements from governments and regulators, as well as discussions with our clients, the modelling of the hedged future cash flows were determined to remain highly probable and hence hedge accounting has continued to be applied.
