10. COMPETITION Barrie Kernaghan raised two points: For long distance events a clock needs to be positioned at the 200-metre mark; and that the results took too long to be posted on the Board. Issue with the results was due to time required to process and lack of volunteers to post. Matt Vine advised all results were online within 30 minutes of the Strive event being completed. Great work by Lyndsay Troode Vince Del Prete advised that he will refer the matters to the General Manager Pathways to action accordingly. Jim Davies raised a question relating to the Little Athletics’ calendar of events in particular the scheduling of the Zones weekend. Teresa Blackman suggested the AWA Annual General Meeting was not the appropriate forum to raise the question and needs to be discussed offline. 7
11. MEETING CLOSED 7.50pm CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
In my report on the activities of AWA in 2019, I predicted that it would be my only report as chairman of Athletics Western Australia. As it turns out, it was not. Rest assured however this will be the last.
On 18 June, 2020 , 95 percent of members of AWA voted in favour of a merger with Little Athletics WA and for the formation of a new incorporated entity, Athletics West Ltd. That support was almost matched by the members of LAWA, of whom 93% voted in favour. The end result was, I think, a vindication of the work carried out by successive boards of both organisations over a number of years. With the enthusiasm of the employees of both organisations, we have been able to achieve what is the envy of all other State athletic associations and of the national bodies. The steps we have taken in creating Athletics West have already seen an increase in funding support from the State Government for which we are grateful and we are in better financial shape than anticipated. Tim Lyons I want to acknowledge particularly the support of the Minister, the Hon. Mick Chairman, Athletics WA Murray, and wish him well in his impending retirement.
Challenges remain but as a member of the Athletics West board, it is incumbent upon us to make the most of this opportunity by listening to stakeholders, looking to the future and being more than a little adventurous in terms of what we can achieve for our sport. I hope our collective enthusiasm converts to increased participation across all levels of athletics.
The last twelve months have been challenging for a number of reasons however we are fortunate, as a sport, to have been able to complete almost an entire season prior to the constraints imposed by COVID 19. Our good fortune continues as it appears we will be commencing the 2020/2021 season at the usual time. The cancellation of national events, which I know has disappointed many, will allow us to focus on our own domestic season. Other sports have not been as fortunate and we must make the most of these opportunities.
The past 12 months have seen the departure of some senior personnel including Wayne Loxley and Stephen Stingemore, both of whom have left their mark on our sport over a long period. I commend the Athletics West staff, so ably led by the CEO, Vince Del Prete, for being able to maintain an excellent level of services to our members over this period.
I want to thank the outgoing members of the AWA Board, Tony Chamberlain, David Stanton, Brenton Mizen and Shane Cassey for their service to the sport. I look forward to continuing working with Dr John Forbes, Louise Soia and Ashani Seneviratne on the Athletics West Board.
Again, I thank you for your support and encouragement and hope your season is all you hope for.
Best wishes
Tim Lyons Chairman
8 ATHLETICS WA CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S REPORT
I would like to take the opportunity to acknowledge the support the Board and Office team, who have gone above and beyond to make certain that we are better placed to serve our members state-wide. I would also like to thank all the Clubs and Committees for the countless hours you give to the sport, it does not go unappreciated. As volunteers you are the backbone of the sport and without, you the sport would not be where it is in 2020 and would not have the opportunities that await us in the future.
I would like to acknowledge Wayne Loxley’s contribution to the sport of athletics and wish him the best for the future.
On a personal note I would like to thank Chairman Tim Lyons for his guidance and confidence in both myself and the staff to deliver on the needs of the sport and to explore new opportunities as we transition from two organisations to One Sport in the West. Vince Del Prete CEO, Athletics WA The past 12 months has seen significant progress in the direction of the sport in merging to become Athletics West. It will be important for us all to work together towards the ongoing delivery of the strategies contained in the Whole of Sport Strategic Plan and the Organisational Review outcomes, to set the foundations for the future of Athletics in WA and as a leader for the rest of Australia.
2020 saw the sports ability to be flexible and adaptable tested as COVID-19 restrictions in the community increased. Athletics saw this as an opportunity to continue to drive the One Sport model and implement initiatives and programs that would support the members upon the reactivation of the sport. During this time the dynamic team continued to communicate and engage regularly through the implementation of alternate meeting strategies such as Zoom.
Finally, to the Athletics community, athletes, coaches, officials, administrators and volunteers, thank you for all that you have contributed to support the sport and to provide the ongoing opportunity for thousands to participate each week. I sincerely thank you all. You should be proud of the contribution you have made to achieve collective success as a sport and to achieving the historic transition to a unified sport providing greater opportunities to all.
Vince Del Prete Chief Executive Officer

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(d) Property, plant and equipment
Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment.
Items of property, plant and equipment acquired for nil or nominal consideration have been recorded at the acquisition date fair value.
Depreciation
Property, plant and equipment, excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the assets useful life to the Association, commencing when the asset is ready for use.
(e) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprises cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term investments which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
(f) Leases
Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all of the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease term.
(i) Right-of-use asset
At the lease commencement, the Association recognises a right-of-use asset and associated lease liability for the lease term. The lease term includes extension periods where the Association believes it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised.
The right-of-use asset is measured using the cost model where cost on initial recognition comprises of the lease liability, initial direct costs, prepaid lease payments, estimated cost of removal and restoration less any lease incentives received.
The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the lease term on a straight line basis and assessed for impairment in accordance with the impairment of assets accounting policy.
(ii) Lease liability
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments at the commencement of the lease. The discount rate is the rate implicit in the lease, however where this cannot be readily determined then the Association's incremental borrowing rate is used.
Subsequent to initial recognition, the lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. The lease liability is remeasured whether there is a lease modification, change in estimate of the lease term or index upon which the lease payments are based (e.g. CPI) or a change in the Association's assessment of lease term.
Where the lease liability is remeasured, the right-of-use asset is adjusted to reflect the remeasurement or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial report, being a special purpose financial report of Western Australia Athletics Commission Inc (the Association), which comprises the statement of assets and liabilities as at 30 June 2020, the statement of profit or loss, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the statement by members of the committee.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Association for the year ended 30 June 2020 is prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with Associations Incorporation Act (WA) 2015.
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 Association in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the ethical 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 believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Emphasis of Matter - Basis of Accounting
We draw attention to Note 1 of the financial report, which describes the basis of accounting. The financial report is prepared to assist the Association in fulfilling their financial reporting requirements.. As a result, the financial report may not be suitable for another purpose. Our report is intended solely for the Association and should not be distributed to or used by parties other than the Association. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with Associations Incorporation Act (WA) 2015, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, management is responsible for assessing the Association'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 management either intends to liquidate the Association or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Association's financial reporting process.
12 Western Australia Athletics Commission Inc
Independent Audit Report to the members of Western Australia Athletics Commission Inc
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 the 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 Association’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the management’s 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 Association’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 reporter, 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 Association 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 management 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.
