On behalf of the Directors of Dogs Queensland, it is my pleasure to provide members with our Annual Report.
FINANCIAL RESULTS
You will see from our audit report, Dogs Queensland remains in a strong financial position. This has enabled us to keep fee increases to a minimum. Additional sources of income are always being explored. Our revenue from product sales continues to be encouraging. Our Finance, Budget and Risk Management Committee carefully monitor the finances of Dogs Queensland and provide reports to the Board of Directors as necessary.
COMMITTEES
Our Committee structure has been working well and has been updated. We have reviewed these committees to ensure they meet the constantly changing needs of our dog world.
Conformation Judges Committee (Chairs Tim Thomas & Bill Smith) – the CJC was reformed in 2025. Concentrating on the training of our conformation judges, the committee has instigated modern training methods to enhance the learning of our trainees. The implementation of the mentored shows has been well supported and well received. We welcomed three new All Breeds Judges in 2025. Congratulations!
Constitution and Rules (Chair Gordon Mayne) – this committee has worked tirelessly to update our Rules to ensure they are in line with Dogs Australia regulations as well as reflecting the needs of our organisation. The committee provides support to numerous clubs including advice to enable the management of the club to correctly interpret their Constitution/Rules of Association. Many clubs have now become incorporated with the support and guidance of this committee. The Committee has been instrumental in updating various policies to give guidance to the Board, the office, clubs and members.
Queensland Dog Sport Committee (Chair Barb Murfet) – with dog sport being a major growth area, this committee comprises numerous sub-committees. The committee works with National committees on Rule updates. The committee provides judges training for the various dog sports. An annual celebration of the success of our competitors was held in February 2026. It’s an opportunity for everyone to come together and celebrate our wonderful dog sports. Congratulations to all our new judges who qualified in various sports during 2025 and our annual award winners and new champions in their respective sports!
Junior Handler Committee (Co Chairs Ainslie Carius and Ian Rasmussen) – a fantastic State final was held in 2025. Congratulations to the committee for the success of these events. It was a very proud moment when our own Samantha Page, representing Queensland, was the overall runner up at the National final.
Canine Health Committee (Chair Elisa McCutcheon) – the Canine Health Committee has been very proactive in working with key stakeholders to identify health concerns in our breeds. The committee is working to identify health issues and educate members in regards to these issues and prevention for the future. The Committee has provided numerous webinars which have attracted a huge audience not only locally, but have been enjoyed by interstate and international attendees.
Marketing and Public Relations (Chair Tabitha Young) – our PR & Marketing Committee have provided support to our members to promote our dog world at numerous events.
Forward planning will see us showcasing Dogs Queensland at the 2026 Dog Lovers Show, Dogapalooza and the Qld Ekka to name a few.
Dogs Queensland Events Committee (Chair Katrina Santas) – a very successful Puppy of the Year, Neuter of the Year and Dog of the Year events were held in February 2026, celebrating our top winners for 2025. Sensational sponsorship was included for all qualifiers and those achieving major awards on the nights. We are very fortunate to have the technology to include a livestream to allow members to enjoy the judging in the comfort of their own home. Thank you to Shane Yates for his expertise in this area and to Belinda Thomas and Janet McGregor for commentating on the livestream. This event takes hundreds of hours to coordinate, so a big thank you to everybody involved behind the scenes especially Katrina Santas, Barb Cumming and Rob Harrison.
Strategic Planning & Durack Future Working Party (Chair John Mitchell & Duncan McAllister) – a newly formed Working Party collaborating with the Board and Finance and Budget and Risk Management Committee to identify areas for forward planning of the organization. This is a huge project which is still in its infancy but progressing with input from various stakeholders.
Finance Budget and Risk Management Committee (Chair Carolyn Ryan) – this unique committee comprises members of the Board of Directors, office staff and those from the general membership. These members have particular skills and qualifications to enable detailed examination of the finances of the organization and to make recommendations to the Board.
Event Managers & Stewards Committee (Chair John Mitchell) – a small committee focused on development of new stewards and event managers, whilst continuing education for those already qualified. They are continually updating the training systems to ensure our volunteers are skilled to a high level.
Canine Grooming Committee (Chair Katrina Santas) – another new committee developing strategies for conducting Canine Grooming competitions. These competitions are hugely popular overseas, and we are hopeful they will be very well supported here too.
Show Dates Working Party (Convenor Tim Thomas) – this working party is tasked with implementing requested changes in line with the Show Dates Policy.
Our Committees held numerous events in both conformation and in dog sports. These fund raising events assist us to gather funds for future major events, ground improvements or for members in need for example, following natural disasters. Your support of these events is always greatly appreciated.

CANINE WELFARE & LIAISON OFFICER REPORT
ADVANCING WELFARE – STRENGTHENING GOVERNANCE – MODERNISING SYSTEMS
In 2025, the role of Canine Welfare & Liaison Officer — held by Courtney Stevens — delivered substantial progress across welfare oversight, breeder education, regulatory engagement, and digital reform.
The position, undertaken by Courtney in her capacity as Dogs Queensland’s Canine Welfare & Liaison Officer in 2023, continues to evolve in bridging members, the Board, regulators, and external stakeholders while strengthening both compliance integrity and welfare outcomes.
EDUCATION & MEMBER COMMUNICATION
Throughout the year, the CWLO authored the Paws for Thought column in Dog World Magazine, providing guidance on dog health, ethical breeding, welfare initiatives, and legislation. Some of the articles written include:
• Annual Health Checks for Breeding Dogs
• The Benefits of Group Housing
• Old dogs, New Tricks – Changing Personalities
• Refresh on the Queensland Welfare Standards and Guidelines for Breeding Dogs and their Progeny
• New Years Resolutions for Dogs
• When do you know its time to say goodbye
• Understanding Transfers, Signatures & Privacy
• Use of the Mains and Limited Register
• Poisonous Plants for Dogs
• Whelping boxes – Choosing the right one
• Canine Body Condition Scoring
• Dog Laws in Queensland
The Paws for Thought column has become a key educational platform, reinforcing Dogs Queensland’s commitment to proactive member support and increasing members knowledge about our processes and member obligations both within our organisation and with external stakeholders.
TRANSFER PROGRAM REFORM
The Transfer Program remained a major operational focus in 2025.
The Transfer Program was implemented to address long-standing inaccuracies in Dogs Queensland ownership records where dogs had been sold, rehomed, deceased, or otherwise disposed of but never formally transferred.
The program’s objectives were to:
• Restore accuracy and integrity to the Dogs Queensland register,
• Ensure regulatory compliance with transfer obligations,
• Reduce welfare, traceability, and enforcement risks, and
• Fairly recover outstanding transfer fees where applicable.
PROGRAM OUTCOMES:
• Record update sheets (RUP) issued: 1,573
• Returned RUP: 1,560 (~99.2% compliance rate)
• Outstanding RUP: 13
• Total records reviewed: 39,153
• Records updated: 38,579 (~98.5% accuracy achieved). Breakdown as follows:
* Dogs confirmed as owned: 13,671
* Deceased records corrected: 13,584
* Semen records identified: 432
* Transfers processed (pre-2019): 5,455
* Transfers processed (post-2019): 5,437
THE TRANSFER PROGRAM HAS:
• Strengthened the accuracy and reliability of the Dogs Queensland register,
• Improved traceability for welfare, compliance, and enforcement purposes,
• Addressed non-compliance in a fair and documented manner, and
• Provided clear evidence that structured compliance programs are both effective and beneficial.
Significant work progressed on the development of a Dogs Queensland–aligned BOAS risk assessment pathway.
The proposed model focuses on:
• Functional respiratory health
• Welfare-based assessment criteria
• Practical breeder usability
• Evidence-informed decision-making
The initiative represents a balanced approach to brachycephalic breed welfare — protecting health outcomes while preserving breed integrity. This is currently sitting with the National Canine Health Committee for further discussions.
KENNEL INSPECTIONS & COMPLIANCE OVERSIGHT
The CWLO conducted several Field Inspections throughout 2025.
Inspection priorities included:
• Welfare compliance
• Record-keeping accuracy
• Support for members to meet regulatory standards
This framework has strengthened consistency, transparency, and accountability across the inspection process.
LIMITED REGISTER PROJECT
Data analysis conducted in 2025 identified emerging trends in the use of the Limited Register.
Key findings included:
• Misinterpretation of the purpose of the Limited Register
• Use of Limited Register for “genetic protection” purposes contrary to rules
• Need for improved guidance and purpose of the Limited Register going forward
• Work will continue in 2026 to address the use of the Limited Register both at State and National Level.
NEW BREED PROPOSAL
A significant governance milestone in 2025 was the preparation of proposals relating to developing Australian breeds for submission to Dogs Australia.
The CWLO led:
• Regulatory compliance mapping
• Breed recognition pathway
• State and National Board briefing preparation
• Member communication
This work supports structured breed development within a national governance framework and reflects a forward-looking approach to ensuring Dogs Queensland remains progressive, inclusive, and responsive within an evolving canine breeding landscape.
DIGITAL INNOVATION & REGISTRY MODERNISATION
The CWLO worked closely with administrative teams to progress system improvements, including:
• Creation of generic membership for out-of-date records allowing more accurate real time records for members
• Progression of Digital Pedigrees and online services
• Development of a Bulk Update Button for record updates
• Improved registry accuracy mechanisms (e.g. Animal Record counts and new reporting systems for member record management)
These initiatives have reduced administrative burden while improving data reliability and member compliance.
BREEDER EDUCATION FRAMEWORK & PREFIX EXAMINATION
Eight breeder education booklets were created and integrated into a structured learning framework for new and existing members.
The Booklet Series includes the following titles:
1. Thinking about breeding dogs
2. Developing a breeding program – understanding genetics
3. Starting a breeding program
4. Care and husbandry in the breeding environment
5. Reproductive anatomy – getting pregnant
6. Pregnancy
7. Whelping
8. Care and early development
Additionally, a new Prefix Examination was developed to ensure:
• Foundational welfare literacy
• Regulatory awareness
• Ethical breeding knowledge
• Consistency in new member entry standards
This initiative represents a long-term investment in raising baseline breeder competency and will be launched in 2026.
EXTERNAL STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
The CWLO maintained active engagement with key stakeholders including the Department of Primary Industries, RSPCA Queensland and local Councils across Queensland.
These engagements addressed welfare standards, regulatory developments, and collaborative approaches to responsible breeding.
This has strengthened Dogs Queensland’s credibility as a welfare-focused organisation and leader in the Dog breeding sector.
POSITIONING DOGS QUEENSLAND FOR 2026
Throughout 2025, the Canine Welfare & Liaison Officer role has strengthened Dogs Queensland’s position as a welfare-focused, accountable, and forward-thinking organisation.
Looking ahead, priorities include:
• Continued transfer compliance refinement
• Finalisation of the BOAS pathway
• Limited Register reform implementation
• Launch of the New Breeder Booklet series and Prefix Exam
• Ongoing digital innovation
• Exploring pathways for recognition of new breeds
• Expanded stakeholder advocacy
• Strengthened national collaboration
By combining education, compliance, reform, and stakeholder engagement, the role has contributed meaningfully to protecting the integrity of the register and the future of purebred dogs in Queensland.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Note 1 Material Accounting Policy Information
Basis of Preparation
Theses general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards – Simplified Disclosures issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001
The Company is a not-for-profit Company for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards.
Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in financial statements containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are presented below and have been consistently applied unless stated otherwise.
The financial statements, except for the cash flow information, have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities. The amounts presented in the financial statements have been rounded to the nearest dollar.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Entity’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in Note 2.
New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The Entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
Accounting Policies
a. Revenue and Other Income
The company recognises revenue as follows:
Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company is expected to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the company: identifies the contract with a customer; identifies the performance obligations in the contract; determines the transaction price which takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money; allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service to be delivered; and recognises revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the customer of the goods or services promised.
Variable consideration within the transaction price, if any, reflects concessions provided to the customer such as discounts, rebates and refunds, any potential bonuses receivable from the customer and any other contingent events. Such estimates are determined using either the 'expected value' or 'most likely amount' method. The measurement of variable consideration is subject to a constraining principle whereby revenue will only be recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur. The measurement constraint continues until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Amounts received that are subject to the constraining principle are recognised as a refund liability.
Interest
Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method.

ABN: 45 160 285 192
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 Material Accounting Policy Information (continued)
a. Revenue and Other Income (continued)
Lease Receivable
Lease receivable revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established
Other revenue
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.
b. Unearned revenue
Unearned revenue includes Membership, Affiliation, Advertising and other fees paid to the Company. These fees are initially recognised as unearned revenue and are progressively recognised as income over the period to which they relate. The unearned portion of these fees at 31 December is included in the account 'Unearned revenue'.
c. Property, Plant and Equipment
Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value as indicated, less, where applicable, accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses.
Freehold property
Freehold land and buildings are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the properties.
Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis and are therefore carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. In the event the carrying amount of plant and equipment is greater than the estimated recoverable amount, the carrying amount is written down immediately to the estimated recoverable amount and impairment losses are recognised either in profit or loss or as a revaluation decrease if the impairment losses relate to a revalued asset. A formal assessment of recoverable amount is made when impairment indicators are present (refer to Note 1(f) for details of impairment).
Plant and equipment that have been contributed at no cost, or for nominal cost, are valued and recognised at the fair value of the asset at the date it is acquired.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets, including buildings and capitalised lease assets, but excluding freehold land, is depreciated on either a straight line or diminishing value basis over the asset’s useful life to the Company commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025 19
CANINE CONTROL COUNCIL
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Note 1 Material Accounting Policy Information (continued)
Property, Plant and Equipment (continued)
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Gains are not classified as revenue. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation surplus relating to that asset are transferred to retained surplus.
d. Impairment of Assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying amount. Any excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its recoverable amount is recognised in profit or loss.
Where the assets are not held primarily for their ability to generate net cash inflows – that is, they are specialised assets held for continuing use of their service capacity – the recoverable amounts are expected to be materially the same as fair value.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Where an impairment loss on a revalued individual asset is identified, this is recognised against the revaluation surplus in respect of the same class of asset to the extent that the impairment loss does not exceed the amount in the revaluation surplus for that class of asset.
e.
Employee Benefits
Short-term employee benefits
Provision is made for the Company’s obligation for short-term employee benefits. Short- term employee benefits are benefits (other than termination benefits) that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service, including wages, salaries and sick leave. Short-term employee benefits are measured at the (undiscounted) amounts expected to be paid when the obligation is settled.
The Company’s obligations for short-term employee benefits such as wages, salaries and sick leave are recognised as part of current trade and other payables in the statement of financial position.
Other long-term employee benefits
The Company classifies employees’ long service leave and annual leave entitlements as other long-term employee benefits as they are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service. Provision is made for the Company’s obligation for other long-term employee benefits, which are measured at the present value of the expected future payments to be made to employees.
Expected future payments incorporate anticipated future wage and salary levels, durations of service and employee departures, and are discounted at rates determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on high quality corporate bonds that have maturity dates that approximate the terms of the obligations. Upon the remeasurement of obligations for other long-term employee benefits, the net change in the obligation is recognised in profit or loss classified under employee benefits expense.
The Company’s obligations for long-term employee benefits are presented as non-current liabilities in its statement of financial position, except where the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period, in which case the obligations are presented as current liabilities.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Note 1 Material Accounting Policy Information (continued)
f. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short- term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.
g. Accounts Receivable and Other Debtors
Accounts receivable and other debtors include amounts due from members as well as amounts receivable from customers for goods sold . Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are classified as current assets. All other receivables are classified as non-current assets. Accounts receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment. Refer to Note 1(g) for further discussion on the determination of impairment losses.
h. Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities, which are recoverable from or payable to the ATO, are presented as operating cash flows included in receipts from customers or payments to suppliers.
i. Income tax
No provision for income tax has been raised as the Company is exempt from income tax under Div 50 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.
j. Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured. Provisions recognised represent the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period.
k. Comparative Figures
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.
l. Trade and Other Payables
Trade and other payables represent the liabilities for goods and services received by the Company during the reporting period that remain unpaid at the end of the reporting period. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amounts normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability.
Note 2 Critical Accounting Judgements, Estimates and Assumtpions
The directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial statements based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Company.
CANINE CONTROL COUNCIL
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Note 2 Critical Accounting Judgements, Estimates and Assumtpions (continued)
Key estimates
(i) Impairment
The Company assesses impairment of non-financial assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the company and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. If an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. This involves fair value less costs of disposal or value-in-use calculations, which incorporate a number of key estimates and assumptions.
(ii) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment
As described in Note 1(d), the Company reviews the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment at the end of each annual reporting period.
Key judgements
(i) Performance obligations under AASB 15
To identify a performance obligation under AASB 15, the promise must be sufficiently specific to be able to determine when the obligation is satisfied. Management exercises judgement to determine whether the promise is sufficiently specific by taking into account any conditions specified in the arrangement, explicit or implicit, regarding the promised goods or services. In making this assessment, management includes the nature/-type, cost/-value, quantity and the period of transfer related to the goods or services promised.
(ii) Employee benefits
For the purpose of measurement, AASB 119: Employee Benefits defines obligations for short- term employee benefits as obligations expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service. The Company expects most employees will take their annual leave entitlements within 24 months of the reporting period in which they were earned, but this will not have a material impact on the amounts recognised in respect of obligations for employees’ leave entitlements.

Analysis of employee provisions
Opening balance at 1 January 2025 121,705
Additional provisions raised during the year:
service leave
Amounts used (67,170) Balance at 31 December 2025
Provision for employee benefits represents amounts accrued for annual leave and long service leave.
The current portion for this provision includes the total amount accrued for annual leave entitlements and the amounts accrued for long service leave entitlements that have vested due to employees having completed the required period of service. Based on past experience, the Company does not expect the full amount of annual leave or long service leave balances classified as current liabilities to be settled within the next 12 months. However, these amounts must be classified as current liabilities since the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer the settlement of these amounts in the event employees wish to use their leave entitlement.
The non-current portion for this provision includes amounts accrued for long service leave entitlements that have not yet vested in relation to those employees who have not yet completed the required period of service.
Note 13: Reserves
Reserves are maintained by the Company for future projects. Previously, future projects were provided for as liabilities in the financial statements. However, the nature and commitment to future projects did not meet the accounting definition of a liability. Therefore, the liabilities previously recognised have been reserved through the income statement and transferred to a reserve account.
Movements in reserves
Movements in each class of reserves during the current financial year are set out below:

Note 14: Capital and Leasing Commitments
As at 31 December 2025, there were no capital expenditure or non-cancellable operating leasing commitments contracted for but not recognised in the financial statements.
Note 15: Contingent Liabilities
A claim has been filed against the Company in the Supreme Court of Queensland seeking damages. The Company continues to defend the matter, and its insurer has granted indemnity subject to an excess, which has been applied to legal costs. A settlement offer has been made, but the outcome remains uncertain and is not expected to be resolved before the financial statements are authorised for issue. As the final financial effect cannot be reliably estimated, no provision has been recognised at reporting date.
There are no other contingent liabilities or contingent assets as at 31 December 2025.
Note 16: Events After the Reporting Period
The directors are not aware of any other significant events since the end of the reporting period.
Note 17: Key Management Personnel Compensation
The aggregate compensation made to directors and other members of key management personnel of the company is set out below:

In our opinion the financial report of the Company is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
a) Giving a true and fair view of the Company’s financial position as at Wednesday, 31 December 2025 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and
b) Complying with Australian Accounting Standards – Simplified Disclosures and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Independence
We are independent of the Company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
Directors’ Responsibilities for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards – Simplified Disclosures and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individual or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at http://www.auasb.gov.au/ Home.aspx. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
