The year has not been without challenges but our excellent staff, with their efficiency and can-do attitude achieve outstanding results for Oceania. Our Confederation continues to be recognised by BWF as efficient, productive and proactive. Change and growth is an integral and vital part of any organisation and we have certainly experienced that this year. We value the close working relationship we have with the BWF and thank them for their investment over the next 5 years for additional personnel to enable us to deliver more to our members. We now have staff based in three countries; head- office in Auckland - New Zealand, Suva – Fiji and Port Moresby – Papua New Guinea. Although this presents new challenges to our management team, it allows us to deliver more in the Pacific Islands with plans for both Monte (Kum On Tarawa) in Fiji and Kini Karo in PNG to work with neighbouring countries.

Tom Leonard, who we recruited from the UK as our Communications and Events Manager, was another welcome addition to our team in the later part of the year based in the Auckland office. Tom has a wealth of experience in the communications field and brings a range of new skills and knowledge into the organisation.

The Gold Coast were held in April in Australia and whilst we did not have any direct involvement, we had several people appointed to key roles as well as technical officials and volunteers assisting. We had three countries involved at the Games: Australia, Fiji and New Zealand; unfortunately no podium finishes but experiences the players will remember forever.

The Youth Olympic Games held in Buenos Aires, Argentina were very successful for us. The Referee for the event was Lynne Nixey, congratulations to Lynne on this prestigious appointment. Oscar Guo (NZL) and Zecily Fung (AUS) qualified through their BWF rankings with Chang Ho Kim (FIJ) receiving a tripartite position; a commendable outcome from our player development Photo credit: Badminton Photo programme.

BWF Certificated 1 5 9 BWF Accredited 2 0

Oceania Certificated 1 6 7

Oceania Accredited 2 7 2

While our numbers are relatively small, you can see from where our Officials have been over the year that we make quite an impact. We would like to see an increase in the numbers of officials from outside Australia and New Zealand onto the International panels. There are opportunities for Pacific officials to reach the highest level if they have the will and commitment to achieve this, and the Badminton Oceania Technical Officials Committee (BOTOC) will do all it can to help them reach their goals.

Badminton Oceania was fortunate to be able to access BWF Development Funding to assist some of our Officials to attend International Events during the year. Recipients of this funding were Cynthia Tam, Kelvin Tsui, Sidney Galos and Justin Zuo. This funding also enabled us to fund some Pacific Island Umpires to our International events for experience. 26 During the year, Badminton Oceania has for- malised our Assessment process and appointed members of an Umpire Assessment panel for the interim year. These members were David Turner, Mark Speight, Trish Gubb and Susan Taylor. 2019 will see a new panel being appointed for the next four years. The BWF funded David Turner, Mark Speight and Trish Gubb to attend a workshop for Assessors held in Birmingham during the All En- Badminton Photo gland Championships.

Congratulations to the following:

• Lynne Nixey on being appointed as a BWF Semi-Professional Referee • Sandra David being assessed to a BOC Ac- credited Referee

My thanks once again to the BOTOC Committee who continue to work to ensure Badminton Oce- ania’s officials maintain their standards and -in crease in numbers: Badminton Photo • Peter Cocker - Australia (Chair) • Lynne Nixey - New Zealand • David Turner - Australia • Greg Vellacott - Australia • Trish Gubb - New Zealand

My thanks to those who have helped BOTOC over the last twelve months, especially Julie and Lynne in the Oceania office for their work and support of the committee, TOCNZ and BATOC for their help and support. Thanks must also go to the BWF for their continued funding and support of Technical Officials in the region.

27 PARA-BADMINTON

Australia continues to lead the way in Para-Badminton development and participation with increasing numbers in programmes across several States. It has been pleasing to see some new initiatives implemented in Fiji, Papua New Guinea and New Zealand as these countries strive to develop their own programmes.

Some of the key development initiatives which took place were: • Australian Para-Badminton training camp and nation- al championships • Fiji Para-Badminton introductory sessions • PNG Para-Badminton introductory sessions • New Zealand (North Harbour) Little People of NZ Para-Badminton Day • New Zealand (Hawkes Bay) Para-Badminton Open Day

The next step for some participants from the in- country development programmes is to play in organised competitions: local, national and international with the ultimate achievement playing at the Paralympics . In 2018 we had three players attend international events outside of our region:

• Caitlyn Dransfield (AUS) ­ Dubai Para-Badminton International ­ FZ Forza Irish Para-Badminton International 28 • Corrie Robinson (NZL)

­ Hulic Daihatsu Para-Badminton International • Celine Vinot (AUS)

­ FZ Forza Irish Para-Badminton International We contracted Ian Bridge (AUS) to deliver the first Para- Badminton development sessions in both Fiji and Papua New Guinea. Following these initial sessions both Fiji and PNG have continued to further develop their Para-Badminton programmes.

Fiji was represented by Iosefa Rakesa in the SS6 classification at the VICTOR Oceania Para-Badminton Championships, winning a bronze medal. These two countries will be the focus of our development programmes again in 2019.

In November the inaugural Para-Badminton International tournaments were held in Geelong, Australia; the Australian Para-Badminton International and the VICTOR Para- Badminton Championships. With the knowledge that we were the only Continent to not stage a BWF sanctioned event it was a priority for us to ensure that these events took place and were delivered to a high standard. We took the lead on these events with assistance from Marianne Loh from Badminton Australia.

The two events were held consecutively with over 200 people from 24 countries involved over 10 days. There were a number of challenges we had to over-come in particular accommodation and transport which have greater requirements than able-bodied events; however overall we were very pleased with what we achieved and learnt a lot which will be of benefit for future events. Thank you to Geelong Badminton and all volunteers who played a part in the success of these events.

Held alongside the Australia Para-Badminton International were two classifiers courses: an international and a national course. Both courses were led by BWF International Classifiers. The international course had three candidates including one from Australia. The national course had 9 attendees: 8 from Australia and 1 from New Zealand.

Also aligned with these events was the training of several of our Umpires to officiate Para-Badminton matches which now provides them with a pathway to higher level international events.

Para-Badminton is a relatively new area for us with plenty of opportunities for development to increase participation and performance. 29 Photo credit: Luis Veniegra Photography Veniegra Luis credit: Photo MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS

After several years of delivering BWF Level 1 we took the next step in the Coach Education pathway to stage the first BWF Level 1 tutor and BWF Level 2 Coach courses in the region.

With the assistance of BWF we were fortunate to engage the expertise of former High Performance Manager Martin Andrew to lead the courses with Robbie Thackham – BOC Coaching and Development Manager assisting, with nine people from two countries gaining their BWF Level 1 Tutor qualification and ten people from four countries gaining their BWF Level 2 coach qualification.

It is very pleasing to see that both Australia and New Zealand have ensured that coaches working with their national junior players have completed the BWF courses.

BWF Level 1 courses continued to be held in New Zealand and Australia. New Zealand held one course which included two people from the Cook Islands while Australia held three courses, in different States.

Across the region we have more people being trained as coaches using the global BWF framework which links closely with our player development programme.

1. STATEMENT OF GENERAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

REPORTING ENTITY

Badminton Oceania Confederation Inc is incorporated under the Incorporated Societies Act 1908 and is subject to the provisions of the Act.

BASIS OF PREPARATION

This financial report is a special purpose report to explain the society's financial performance and financial position to the members of the society. It is based on accounting principles commonly used in New Zealand as detailed below. The report should not be relied on for any other purpose.

MEASUREMENT BASE

The accounting principles recognised as appropriate for the measurement and reporting of financial performance and financial position on a historical cost basis are followed in these financial statements. The financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars (NZ$) and all values are rounded to the nearest NZ$, except when otherwise indicated.

SPECIFIC ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following specific accounting policies which materially affect the measurement of financial performance and financial position have been applied:-

Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation.

Grants Grants received are recognised in operating revenue, unless specific conditions attach to a grant and repayment of the grant is required where these conditions are not met. In these cases, the grant is treated as a liability until the conditions are met.

Accounts Receivable Accounts Receivable are stated at their estimated realisable value.

Foreign Currency Transactions in foreign currencies are converted at the appropriate New Zealand rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction.

Depreciation Depreciation has been calculated to allocate the cost or valuation of assets over their estimated useful lives, at the following rates: -

Computer Equipment 40% Cost Furniture & Fittings 20% Cost

Income Tax The Confederation is exempt from income tax in terms of section CW46 of the Income Tax Act 2007, as a body promoting amateur games or sports.

Goods and Services Tax (GST) These statements are prepared on a GST exclusive basis, except for Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable which are inclusive of GST.

The annual leave provision has been calculated on an actual accumulated entitlement basis at current rates of pay. This equates to the cash amount necessary to settle the obligation as at balance date.

7. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Credit Risk The values attached to each financial asset in the Statement of Financial Position represents the maximum risk.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Confederation is exposed to credit risk concentration in that a substantial proportion of grant income is received from the Badminton World Federation (BWF). However, credit risk is considered low.

Fair Value The carrying amount of bank balances, accounts receivable, investments, and accounts payable, is the fair value for each of these classes of financial instrument.

Currency and Interest Rate Risk The interest rate on the bank account is variable. The Confederation seeks to obtain the most competitive market rate of interest at all times. The Confederation is exposed to foreign exchange risk resulting from the exchange rate ruling at the transaction date.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES Operating lease commitments, under non-cancellable operating leases, to which the Confederation is subject, are as follows:-

2018 2017 Less than 1 year $31,262 $31,262 1 to 2 years $0 $31,262 2 to 5 years - $0 $31,262 $62,524

The Confederation currently has a property lease until December 2019 No contingent liabilities existed at 31 December 2018 (2017: $Nil).

9. SEGMENT ACCOUNTING The Confederation operates within the Oceania Region. It is wholly involved in promoting the amateur sport of Badminton.

10. RELATED PARTIES During the year the Confederation provided services in exchange for funding at arms-length value to the Badminton World Federation (BWF). No related party debts have been written off or forgiven during the year.

11. POST BALANCE DATE EVENTS There have been no events occurring subsequent to balance date that would result in an adjustment being required to the amounts currently disclosed in the financial statements.
