343: Transitional provision in relation to reporting requirements

You could also call this:

"Rules for the first report after a new law starts"

When you are looking at the first annual report after a new section starts, you need to know what time period it covers. For the purposes of section 170, the report covers from when the section starts to the end of the financial year. The same rule applies for section 171, the report covers from when the section starts to the end of the financial year.

You will see that both sections have the same rules for their first reports. These rules help you understand what is in the reports. They make sure you know what time period the reports are talking about.
