ST JOHN AMBULANCE AUSTRALIA (NSW) AND CONTROLLED ENTITY ABN 84 001 738 370 DIRECTORS’ REPORT The Directors present their financial report for St John Ambulance Australia (NSW) (“the Company” or “St John Ambulance”) and its controlled entity, which are together referred to in this report as (“the Group”), for the year ended 31 December 2021. The Company is an entity limited by guarantee with no share capital under the provisions of the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission Act 2012. Our Purpose Every day, Australians are at risk of vulnerability, illness, injuries and potentially life-threatening situations at home, in the workplace and the community. We believe that every Australian should have access to responsive healthcare and wellbeing support when and where they need it. Now more than ever, it is critical we empower and serve our communities. In 2021, our focus remained on delivering positive outcomes, providing sustainable solutions, and continuing to invest in our future. Serving Our Communities Since our inception in 1883 St John Ambulance has been proud to serve our communities and improve the lives of those around us. There has perhaps never been a greater need than now. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic we have stepped forward to play our part in the path to recovery. St John Ambulance has actively partnered with NSW Health throughout the COVID-19 public health response, providing medical and logistical support at COVID-19 testing clinics, quarantine hotels and major transport hubs – including airports, across the state. Through the course of the pandemic our members have dedicated over 220,000 hours to keeping the NSW community safe. Our members continued to support NSW communities during the recent devastating flood crisis, providing community medical services and mental heath support to thousands of flood impacted residents at evacuation centres in northern NSW and critical field medical support to frontline emergency service first responders. Strategic Focus Despite the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on our operations and on all of our lives throughout 2021 we have made significant progress on the 4 key pillars of our 2025 Strategic Plan. Capability – To serve our community we invest in our people, our assets and our technology to ensure we are fit for purpose. In 2021 we continued to develop our capability by. •

•
Investing in the expansion of our operational fleet and equipment to ensure St John Ambulance remains a capable and reliable partner to support the NSW community.

ST JOHN AMBULANCE AUSTRALIA (NSW) AND CONTROLLED ENTITY ABN 84 001 738 370 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
1.
GENERAL INFORMATION The financial report includes the consolidated financial statements and notes of St John Ambulance Australia (NSW) (“the Company”) and its controlled entity (“the Group”). The Company is registered as a Company limited by guarantee. The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 31 March 2022.The directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements.
2.
BASIS OF PREPARATION
(a)
Statement of compliance The Company and its controlled entity apply Australian Accounting Standards- Reduced Disclosure Requirements as set out in AASB 1053: Application of Tiers of Australian Accounting Standards and AASB 2010-2: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from Reduced Disclosure Requirements. These financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards - Reduced Disclosure Requirements and the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission Act 2012. The Company is a not-for-profit entity 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.
(b)
Basis of measurement The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of financial assets. Rounding of amounts The company has applied the relief available to it under ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Director’s reports) Instrument 2016/191 issued by the Australian Securities and Investment Commission relating to the “rounding off” of amounts in the financial statements. Accordingly, the amounts presented in the financial statements have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($'000) unless otherwise stated.
(c)
Critical accounting estimates and judgements The Directors evaluate estimates and judgments 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 Group. Key estimates Impairment - general The Group assesses impairment at the end of each reporting period by evaluation of conditions and events specific to the Group that may be indicative of impairment triggers. Recoverable amounts of relevant assets are reassessed using value-in-use calculations which incorporate various key assumptions.

2.
BASIS OF PREPARATION (CONTINUED)
(c)
Critical accounting estimates and judgements (continued) Estimation of useful lives of assets The estimation of the useful lives of assets has been based on historical experience as well as manufacturers' warranties (for plant and equipment) and turnover policies (for motor vehicles). In addition, the condition of the assets is assessed at least once per year and considered against the remaining useful life. Adjustments to useful lives are made when considered necessary. Revenue from contracts with customers involving sale of goods When recognising revenue in relation to the sale of goods to customers, the key performance obligation of the Group is considered to be the point of delivery of the goods to the customer, as this is deemed to be the time that the customer obtains control of the promised goods and therefore the benefits of unimpeded access. Lease term The lease term is a significant component in the measurement of both the right-of-use asset and lease liability. Judgement is exercised in determining whether there is reasonable certainty that an option to extend the lease or purchase the underlying asset will be exercised, or an option to terminate the lease will not be exercised, when ascertaining the periods to be included in the lease term. In determining the lease term, all facts and circumstances that create an economical incentive to exercise an extension option, or not to exercise a termination option, are considered at the lease commencement date. Factors considered may include the importance of the asset to the Group's operations; comparison of terms and conditions to prevailing market rates; incurrence of significant penalties; existence of significant leasehold improvements; and the costs and disruption to replace the asset. The Group reassesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option, if there is a significant event or significant change in circumstances. Incremental borrowing rate Where the interest rate implicit in a lease cannot be readily determined, an incremental borrowing rate is estimated to discount future lease payments to measure the present value of the lease liability at the lease commencement date. Such a rate is based on what the Group estimates it would have to pay a third party to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset, with similar terms, security and economic environment. Lease make good provision A provision has been made for the present value of anticipated costs for future restoration of leased premises. The provision includes future cost estimates associated with closure of the premises. The calculation of this provision requires assumptions such as application of closure dates and cost estimates. The provision recognised for each site is periodically reviewed and updated based on the facts and circumstances available at the time. Changes to the estimated future costs for sites are recognised in the statement of financial position by adjusting the asset and the provision. Reductions in the provision that exceed the carrying amount of the asset will be recognised in profit or loss. Allowance for expected credit losses The allowance for expected credit losses assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. It is based on the lifetime expected credit loss, grouped based on days overdue, and makes assumptions to allocate an overall expected credit loss rate for each group. These assumptions include recent sales experience and historical collection rates.

BASIS OF PREPARATION (CONTINUED)
(c)
Critical accounting estimates and judgements (continued) Provision for impairment of inventories The provision for impairment of inventories assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. The level of the provision is assessed by taking into account the recent sales experience, the ageing of inventories and other factors that affect inventory obsolescence.
(d)
Comparatives Where required by Accounting Standards comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year. Where the Group has retrospectively applied an accounting policy, made a retrospective restatement or reclassified items in its financial statements, an additional statement of financial position as at the beginning of the earliest comparative period will be disclosed.
3.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial report are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
(a)
Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its controlled entity, together referred to in this report as the Group. Control exists where the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the controlled entity and has the ability to effect returns through it power over the controlled entity. Details of the controlled entity are contained in Note 23 to the financial statements. All inter-Group balances and transactions between entities in the Group, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Where controlled entities have entered or left the Group during the year, their operating results have been included from the date control was obtained or until the date control ceased. There are no outside interests in the equity or results of the controlled entities.
(b)
Income tax The Company and its controlled entity are exempt institutions from income tax under Division 50 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997. The Company has deductible gift recipient (DGR) status.
(c)
Goods and services tax (“GST”) Revenue, 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.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(d)
Revenue recognition Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances and duties and taxes including goods and services tax (GST). Revenue is recognised for the major business activities as follows: Revenue from contracts with customers Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group is expected to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the Group: 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. Other than grant and rental revenue, all revenue is recognised at a point in time when the goods are delivered or the courses/events have occurred. Sale of goods Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the goods, which is generally at the time of delivery. Training courses and events Revenue from training courses and events is recognised at the point in time when the training course/event has occurred. Rendering of services Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised over time as the services are rendered based on either a fixed price or an hourly rate. Interest revenue Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets. Dividend and other investment revenue Dividends and other investment revenue are recognised when the right to receive payment is established. Donations and fundraising events The timing of the recognition of donations, grants and fundraising depends upon the point in time at which control of these monies is obtained. Control would normally occur upon the earlier of the receipt of the monies or notification that the monies have been secured.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(d)
Revenue recognition (continued) Grants The Group's activities are supported by grants received from the federal and state governments, and other parties. If grants are received for specific purposes and are considered enforceable, grant revenue is recognised as a liability and revenue is recognised as services are performed. If grant revenue is not for specific purposes or enforceable, it is recognised on receipt. Contributions in kind Contributions in kind are recognised as income when control of the item of property, plant and equipment contributed passes to the Group at fair value at the date of the contribution. Volunteer services The Group has elected not to recognise volunteer services as either revenue or other form of contribution received. As such, any related consumption or capitalisation of such resources received is also not recognised.
(e)
Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.
(f)
Inventories Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.
(g)
Trade receivables For all sources of recurrent income, trade receivables are recognised at cost value less provision for doubtful debts. The Group assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at amortised cost and fair value through other comprehensive income. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For trade receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by AASB 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.
(h)
Property, plant and equipment Recognition and measurement Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss. 15

(h)
Property plant and equipment (continued) Subsequent costs Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred. Property Land and buildings are carried at cost, less depreciation and impairment losses on buildings. The carrying amount of land and buildings is reviewed annually by the Directors to ensure that it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from those assets. Depreciation The depreciable amount of all property, plant and equipment including buildings, but excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a straight line basis over the asset’s useful life to the Group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. The depreciation useful life used for each class of depreciable assets is: Buildings Furniture and equipment Motor vehicles
20 – 30 years 3 – 15 years 5 years
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. (i)
Impairment of assets Other than trade receivables (note 3(g)) assets that have an indefinite useful life which are not subject to amortisation are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell or value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units). Impairment losses are reversed through profit or loss when there is an indication that the impairment loss may no longer exist and there has been a change in the estimate used to determine the recoverable amount.
(j)
Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered probable. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

(k)
Lease liability A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group's incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down.
(l)
Right-of-use assets A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the Group expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The estimated useful life used for each class of right-of-use assets is: Leases of land and buildings Leases of plant and equipment
3 – 5 years 3 – 5 years
The Group has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for shortterm leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are expensed to profit or loss as incurred. (m)
Financial instruments Classification Upon adoption of AASB 9, the group classified its financial assets in the following measurement categories: those to be measured subsequently at fair value through other comprehensive income (“OCI”), and; those to be measured at amortised cost. The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

(m)
Financial instruments (continued) For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses are recorded in OCI. For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, the Group has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”). Recognition and derecognition Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date, the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
Measurement At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss (“FVPL”), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. The Group subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Group’s management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognised in profit or loss as other income when the Group’s right to receive payments is established. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVOCI are not reported separately from other changes in fair value. Impairment The Group assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at amortised cost and FVOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For trade receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by AASB 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. (n)
Intangible assets Software Software has a finite useful life and is carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Amortisation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of the software over its estimated useful life of between 3 and 10 years.
(o)
Trade and other payables Trade and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period for goods and services received by the Group during the reporting period, which remain unpaid. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amounts normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability. The carrying amount of trade and other payables is deemed to reflect fair value.
(p)
Revenue received in advance Revenue, other than government contract income, that is received before the service to which the payment relates has been provided is recorded as a liability until such time as the service has been provided, at which time it is recognised in profit or loss. 18

(q)
Employee benefits Short-term employee benefits Provision is made for the Group'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, annual leave and long service 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 and salaries are recognised as a part of current trade and other payables in the statement of financial position. Other long-term employee benefits The Group classifies employees' long service 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 Group'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 government 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. Retirement benefit obligations Superannuation contributions are made by the Group to employee superannuation funds and are charged as expenses when incurred.
(r)
Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group 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.
(s)
Borrowings Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of the loan facilities are recognised in profit or loss.
(t)
New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Periods Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Company for the annual reporting period ended 31 December 2021. The Company’s assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations is that they will have no material impact on the financial statements of the Company. 19

IMPACT OF COVID-19 On 11 March 2020, the World Health Organisation (“WHO”) declared the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) a pandemic. Throughout 2021 the pandemic continued to impact the Group’s operations with Government mandated lockdowns, restrictions on mass gatherings and social distancing measures resulting in disruption to the Group’s commercial First Aid Training and Event Health Services operations. During 2021 the Group’s Health Service operations experienced significant growth and continued to evolve throughout the year in response to the changing environment. During the year the Group provided temperature testing services, COVID-19 vaccination services, paramedical services, rapid antigen testing services, patient transport services and administration services to a range of public and private sector organisations. The Group continues to support the NSW Health COVID-19 public health response through the provision of staffing at COVID-19 testing clinics, major transport hubs, quarantine hotels and mass vaccination hubs. The Group has implemented prudent expense control measures in response to the pandemic. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on the Group’s future financial performance and position is dependent of several variables including the duration of the pandemic, success of the vaccination program and the impact of future COVID-19 variants, the impact of these variables cannot be reasonably estimated given the continuing degree of uncertainty in the current climate. While the COVID-19 pandemic continues to create economic uncertainty, the Directors consider that the Group will be able to continue as a going concern as it is has net assets at 31 December 2021 of $37.6m and cash balances and financial investments that can readily converted into cash of $35.8m. 28

In our opinion: (a)
the accompanying financial report of the Group has been prepared in accordance with Division 60 of the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission Act 2012, including: (i) (ii)
giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2021 and of its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended; and complying with Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements and Division 60 of the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission Regulation 2013; and
(b)
the financial report gives a true and fair view of fundraising appeals for the financial year;
(c)
any money received as a result of fundraising appeals conducted during the year ended 31 December 2021 has been properly accounted for and applied in accordance with the Charitable Fundraising Act 1991 and the Regulations thereto;
(d)
the financial statements and associated records have been properly kept during the financial year in accordance with provisions of the Charitable Fundraising Act 1991 and the Regulations thereto; and
(e)
at the date of this statement there are reasonable grounds to believe St John Ambulance Australia (NSW) will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due.
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 are independent of the Entity and the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (“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. We confirm that the independence declaration required by Division 60 of the Australian Charities and Notfor-profits Commission Act 2012, which has been given to those charged with governance, would be in the same terms if given as at the time of this auditor’s report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report The directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements and the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission Act 2012 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
33
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’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 Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. The directors are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process. 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, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: •
• • •
•
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
