The facility includes a large sound-proof television stud io. recording stud io. cut edit suites and computer graphics room. It gives media production students in the Faculty of llumanities a technical environment that is without rival in Queensland. and among the best in Australia. The produclion and technical standard of all student productions continues to improve as students become more familiar with the equipment and updated facilities. Students from other campuses were also involved with the Complex during the year. The audio post-production for third-year productions involved QCM students. while students from the QCA were given access to the sound post-production and editing facilities to complete their projects. Community Access Television. which began with a test telecast in Brisbane during the opening of the Southbank Project. used the television facilities in the Media Studio Complex LO assist them with trainin~ their production crews.

The financial statementshave beenprepared in accordance with the requirements prescribed by · the Griffith UniversityAct 1971; section 46 F of the Financial Administration and AuditAct 1977 and in accordance with the Public Finance Standards. These statements have been prepared to account for themanagement and custody of moneys and otherresources madeavailable to the University and to provide full disclosure of the University's financial operations during the year and general stateof affairs at the end of the year. On 6 November1991, following the operation of transitional arrangements for 1991, Griffith University and the State of Queensland entered intoan agreement thatthe Queensland College of Art be established as a University College of Griffith University. Other than buildings, assets of the Department of Employment, Vocational Education, Training and Industrial Relations used solely or mainly in connection with or arising from the courses for which responsibility passed to the University vested in and came under the control of the University from 1 January1992. Bodies associated with Griffith University in terms of section 46 I of the Financial Administration and Audit Act 1977 are as follows • G.U.S.S. Nominees Ltd GriffithUniversity International Centre Pty Ltd Griffith Medical Research Institute Ltd. On 1 January 1990, the operationsof Nathan Housing Company Ltd were transferred to the Residences, which is a cost centre of Griffith University. It was expected that the Company would be deregistered in 1991, however due to delays at the Australian Securities Commission this did not happen until 27 February1992. Superannuation transactions of some of the University's employees are recorded through G.U.S.S. Nominees Ltd which is a Trustee Company. Separate Financial Statements are prepared for this superannuation scheme. Action commencedduring 1992 to wind up the scheme which is closed with declining membership. Existing staff in the scheme will be transferred to the Superannuation Scheme for Australian Universities (SSAU) as fromJanuary 1993. During the wind up process funds are being held by Griffith University prior to finalisation of the scheme. GriffithUniversity InternationalCentre Pty Ltd is a joint venture company formed with ISA Inc. As thejoint venture arrangements did not proceed prior to the company becoming operational, an application for deregistration has been lodged with the Australian Securities Commission. Deregistration is expected early in 1993. No financial transactions have beenrecorded by GriffithMedical Research InstituteLtd.

(b) Basis of Accounting The University introduced the policies referred to in Note 1 (a) above, incorporating accrual accounting, in 1992. The retrospective effect of these policies on opening balances has been offset against accumulatedfunds brought forwardin accordance with Australian AccountingStandard AAS 1. The Operating Statementand Statement of Financial Position have therefore beenprepared on an accrual basis and in the format required by the Public Finance Standards. This format substantially differsfrom the 1991 statements which wereprepared on a cash accounting basis and thereforeno comparisonscan bemade in this transitionalyear. The Officeof CommunityServices ( previously the Boardof Community Servicesand Residences) has in previous years maintainedindependent financial records on an accrual basis andprepared separate financialstatements. In 1992 the status has beenchanged to I.hatof othercost centres. The assets and liabilities have been recorded withother University assets andliabilities.
