Turning now to gallery redevelopment. We are now well Steve Gower AO advanced with this ambitious and creatively challenging Director project which involves a series of galleries presenting all Australian overseas commitments – from wars to many peacekeeping operations – since the Second World War. 7

Whereas I am confident we can deliver the project to the high standards to which we aspire, it has been very taxing and demanding, and it has stretched senior management and staff. The modification of the lower ground floor to create the required new gallery space has proved to be very difficult. As one of our consultants has said, every decade or so you get one of these projects! ANNUAL REPORT 2006–2007 ANNUAL REPORT

The proliferation of latent conditions mentioned in the MEMORIAL AUSTRALIAN WAR Chairman’s report (i.e., those situations peculiar to the building that could not reasonably be anticipated by our architects, quantity surveyor, and project management consultant, let alone the builder) have exceeded the most pessimistic of expectations. There have been a host of problems uncovered: a grossly over-engineered floor slab that took six weeks and three successive teams of subcontractors to demolish; column-to-column variations in structure and footing design; changes in soil-bearing capacity; 60 years of accumulated wiring, none of which was tagged, bundled, or in Corporate Management Group at the construction site for the new trays; and the surprise of a dozen live cables buried under the HMAS Brisbane bridge display: (left to right) Mark Dawes, Assistant slab where we only had prior knowledge of a fibre optic cable Director, Branch Head Corporate Services; Helen Withnell, Assistant for our computing systems. Director, Branch Head Public Programs; Nola Anderson, Assistant Director, Branch Head National Collection; Steve Gower, Director. All such situations required specialist advice to resolve, with concomitant time and resource implications. Additionally, we have faced unusually high levels of staff turnover with some of our contractors and consultants, arising principally from the overheated state of the building industry; the sharp increase in international steel prices has also created budgetary pressures. It’s been a matter of stepping up the in-house effort, working through the problems and remaining focused on the purpose of the project – the production of outstanding galleries that tell the stories of our veterans in an engaging and uplifting manner. There is about six months of work to go, followed by fine-tuning and commission, before the galleries open in the next financial year. They will be a great addition to the Memorial and should be very popular with our visitors. 8 AUSTRALIAN WAR MEMORIAL 3 ANNUAL REPORT 2006–2007 Following the Service, Dawn ANZAC Day visitorsqueuetovisitthe Tomb oftheUnknown Australian Soldier. participate inthe participate March.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the period ended 30 June 2007

1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 6 1.1 Basis of Preparation of the Financial Report The financial statements and notes are required by clause 1(b) of Schedule 1 to the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies Act 1997 and are a General Purpose Financial Report. The Memorial was established by section 4 of the Australian War Memorial Act 1980 and is controlled by the Commonwealth of Australia. The Memorial is dependent on appropriations from the Parliament of the Commonwealth for its continued existence and ability to carry out its normal activities. The financial statements and notes have been prepared in accordance with: • Finance Minister’s Orders for reporting periods ending on or after 1 July 2006; and • Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that apply for the reporting period. The Finance Minister has granted the Memorial an exemption to the application of Sections 37.2 and 45.3 of Schedule 1 to the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies Orders (Financial Statements for periods ending on or after 1 July 2006). These exemptions relate to the requirement that heritage and cultural assets with useful lives in excess of 200 years shall not 59 be depreciated, and that all financial instruments shall be measured at fair value after initial recognition. The financial report has been prepared on an accrual basis and is in accordance with historical cost convention, except for certain assets, which are at fair value. Except where stated, no allowance is made for the effect of changing prices on the results or the financial position. The financial report is presented in Australian dollars and in some cases values are rounded to the nearest thousand unless disclosure of the full amount is specifically required.

Unless an alternative treatment is specifically required by an Accounting Standard, assets and liabilities are recognised in the 2006–2007 ANNUAL REPORT AUSTRALIAN WAR MEMORIAL AUSTRALIAN WAR Balance Sheet when and only when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Memorial and the amounts of the assets or liabilities can be reliably measured. However, assets and liabilities arising under agreements equally proportionately unperformed are not recognised unless required by an Accounting Standard. Liabilities and assets that are unrecognised are reported in the Schedule of Commitments and the Schedule of Contingencies. Unless alternative treatment is specifically required by an accounting standard, revenues and expenses are recognised in the Income Statement when and only when the flow, consumption or loss of economic benefits has occurred and can be reliably measured.

1.2 Significant Accounting Judgements and Estimates The Memorial has made the following judgements that have the most significant impact on the amounts recorded in the financial statements: • The fair value of the National Collection is considered to be market selling price (where such a market exists), or depreciated replacement cost, taking into consideration the intrinsic value of historically significant objects. Due to the size of the National Collection, a representative sample of all major categories is selected, valued and extrapolated to determine a total fair value. • The fair value of land and buildings is considered to be the market value of similar buildings, taking into account the heritage aspects of the land and buildings where appropriate. No accounting assumptions or estimates have been identified that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next accounting period.

1.3 Statement of Compliance Australian Accounting Standards require a statement of compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) to be made where the financial report complies with these standards. Some Australian equivalents to the IFRSs and other Australian Accounting Standards contain requirements specific to not-for-profit entities that are inconsistent with IFRS requirements. The Memorial is a not-for-profit entity and has applied these requirements, so while this financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards including Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AEIFRSs) it cannot make this statement. NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the period ended 30 June 2007

Adoption of new Australian Accounting Standard requirements 6 No accounting standard has been adopted earlier than the effective date in the current period. Future Australian Accounting Standard Requirements The following new standards, amendments or interpretations have been issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board but are effective for future reporting periods. It is estimated that the impact of adopting these pronouncements when effective will have no material financial impact on future reporting periods.

1.4 Revenue 6 Revenues from Government Amounts appropriated for Departmental outputs for the year are recognised as revenue.

Resources Received Free of Charge Resources received free of charge are recognised as revenue when and only when a fair value can be reliably determined and the services would have been purchased if they had not been donated. Use of those resources is recognised as an expense. Resources received free of charge are recorded as either revenue or gains depending on their nature, i.e. whether they have been generated in the course of ordinary activities of the Memorial. Contributions of assets at no cost of acquisition or for nominal consideration are recognised at their fair value when the asset qualifies for recognition.

Other Types of Revenue Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when: 62 • the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer;

• the Memorial retains no managerial involvement nor effective control over the goods; • the revenue and transaction costs incurred can be reliably measured; and • it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Memorial. Revenue from rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of transactions at the reporting date. The revenue is recognised when: • The amount of revenue, stage of completion and transaction costs incurred can be reliably measured; and ANNUAL REPORT 2006–2007 ANNUAL REPORT

AUSTRALIAN WAR MEMORIAL AUSTRALIAN WAR • The probable economic benefits with the transaction will flow to the Memorial. The stage of completion of transactions at the reporting date is determined by reference to the proportion that costs incurred to date bear to the estimated total costs of the transaction. Revenue from the sale of goods or provision of services is recognised upon issue of an invoice at the time of delivery of goods or service to the customer. Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates and maturity dates applicable to the financial assets. Receivables for goods and services, which have 30 day payment terms, are recognised at the nominal amounts due less any provision for bad and doubtful debts. Collectability of debts is reviewed at balance date. Provisions are made when collectability of the debt is no longer probable. Revenue received in advance, such as project-specific sponsorship money, is recognised as income in the period to which it relates. Until that time it is disclosed as a liability to recognise that the revenue has not yet been earned. Refer to note 6B.

1.5 Gains Resources received free of charge are recognised as gains when and only when a fair value can be reliably determined and the services would have been purchased if they had not been donated. Use of those resources is recognised as an expense. Contributions of assets at no cost of acquisition or for nominal consideration are recognised at their fair value when the asset qualifies for recognition. Resources received free of charge are recorded as either revenue or gains depending on their nature, i.e. whether they have been generated in the course of ordinary activities of the Memorial. NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the period ended 30 June 2007

1.6 Transactions with the Government as Owner Equity Injections 6 Amounts appropriated which are designated as ‘equity injections’ for a year are recognised directly in Contributed Equity in that year. An equity injection of $1,383,000 was received in 2006-07 for the installation of the HMAS Brisbane Bridge in the Post-1945 Conflicts galleries (2005-06: $3,200,000 for the construction of the C.E.W. Bean Building).

1.7 Employee Benefits Liabilities for services rendered by employees are recognised at the reporting date to the extent that they have not been settled. Liabilities for ‘short-term employee benefits’ (as defined in AASB 119) and termination benefits due within twelve months of balance date are measured at their nominal amounts. The nominal amount is calculated with regard to the rates expected to be paid on settlement of the liability. All other employee benefit liabilities are measured as the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date.

Leave 63 The liability for employee benefits includes provision for annual leave and long service leave. No provision has been made for sick leave as all sick leave is non-vesting and the average sick leave taken in future years by employees of the Memorial is estimated to be less than the annual entitlement. The leave liabilities are calculated on the basis of employees’ remuneration, including the Memorial’s employer superannuation contribution rates to the extent that the leave is likely to be taken during service rather than paid out on termination. The liability for long service leave is recognised and measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be made in respect of all employees at 30 June 2007. In determining the present value of the liability, including related on-costs, 2006–2007 ANNUAL REPORT attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and inflation have been taken into account. MEMORIAL AUSTRALIAN WAR

Separation and Redundancy Provision is made for separation and redundancy benefit payments in cases where positions have been formally identified as excess to requirements, the existence of an excess has been publicly communicated, and a reliable estimate of the amount payable can be determined.

Superannuation Employees of the Memorial are members of the Commonwealth Superannuation Scheme, the Public Sector Superannuation Scheme, the Australian Government Employees Superannuation Trust (AGEST), or the PSS Accumulation Plan (PSSap). The CSS, PSS and AGEST are defined benefit schemes for the Commonwealth. The PSSap is a defined contribution scheme. The liability for defined benefits is recognised in the financial statements of the Australian Government and is settled by the Australian Government in due course. The Memorial makes employer contributions to the Australian Government at rates determined by an actuary to be sufficient to meet the cost to the Government of the superannuation entitlements of the Memorial’s employees.

1.8 Leases A distinction is made between finance leases and operating leases. Finance leases effectively transfer from the lessor to the lessee substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of leased non-current assets. In operating leases, the lessor effectively retains all such risks and benefits. Operating lease payments are expensed on a basis which is representative of the pattern of benefits derived from the leased assets, excluding contingent rentals. The Memorial does not hold any finance leases. NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the period ended 30 June 2007

1.9 Cash and cash equivalents 6 Cash and cash equivalents means notes and coins held and any deposits held at call with a bank or financial institution. Cash and cash equivalents are recognised at their nominal amount. Pursuant to Section 18 of the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies Act 1997, moneys held by the Memorial may be invested on deposit with a bank, in securities of Australia or any other manner approved by the Treasurer. The Memorial’s investments represent term deposits held with banks only and are measured at their fair value. The Memorial has cash in the bank and on short term investment as at 30 June 2007 to cover commitments and expenses relating to 2006-07 and 2007-08. Cash is also reserved for a number of projects including the Post-1945 Conflicts galleries, Travelling Exhibition programs, and conservation works on the National Collection.

1.10 Financial Risk Management The Memorial’s activities expose it to normal commercial financial risk. As a result of the nature of the Memorial’s business and internal and Australian Government policies dealing with the management of financial risk, the Memorial’s exposure to market, credit, liquidity and cash flow and fair value interest rate risk is considered to be low. 64

1.11 Derecognition of Financial Assets and Liabilities Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or the asset is transferred to another entity. In the case of a transfer to another entity, it is necessary that the risks and rewards of ownership are also transferred. Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation under the contract is discharged, cancelled, or expires. The Memorial’s financial assets and liabilities consist of cash, term deposits, and trade receivables and payables incurred

ANNUAL REPORT 2006–2007 ANNUAL REPORT in the normal operations of the Memorial’s business. AUSTRALIAN WAR MEMORIAL AUSTRALIAN WAR

1.12 Impairment of Financial Assets Financial assets are recognised at fair value and assessed for impairment at each balance date. Where there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred, the carrying amount of financial assets is reduced by way of an allowance account, and the loss is recognised in the profit and loss.

1.13 Acquisition of Assets Assets are recorded at cost on acquisition except as stated below. The cost of acquisition includes the fair value of assets transferred in exchange and liabilities undertaken. Financial assets are initially recognised at their fair value plus transaction costs where appropriate. Assets acquired at no cost, or for nominal consideration, are initially recognised as assets and revenues at their fair value at the date of acquisition. Significant donated National Collection items are recognised at the time of acquisition, and other donated Collection items are brought to account at the time of revaluation.

1.14 Property, Plant and Equipment Asset Recognition Threshold Purchases of property, plant and equipment are recognised initially at cost in the Balance Sheet, except for purchases costing less than $500, which are expensed in the year of acquisition (other than where they form part of a group of similar items that are significant in total). NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the period ended 30 June 2007

Revaluations Fair values for each class of assets are determined as shown below. 6

Asset Class Fair Value Measured at: Land Market selling price Buildings Market selling price / depreciated replacement cost Exhibitions Depreciated replacement cost Plant & Equipment Market selling price

Following initial recognition at cost, property, plant and equipment are carried at fair value less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Valuations are conducted with sufficient frequency such that the carrying amounts of assets do not differ materially from the assets’ fair values as at the reporting date. The regularity of independent valuations depends upon the volatility of movements in market values for the relevant assets. Revaluation adjustments are made on a class basis. Any revaluation increment is credited to equity under the heading of asset revaluation reserve, except to the extent that it reverses a previous revaluation decrement of the same asset class that was 65 previously recognised through surplus and deficit. Revaluation decrements for a class of assets are recognised directly through surplus and deficit, except to the extent that they reverse a previous revaluation increment for that class. Any accumulated depreciation as at the revaluation date is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the asset restated to the revalued amount.

Depreciation Depreciable property, plant and equipment assets are written off to their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives to the Memorial using the straight-line method of depreciation in all cases. ANNUAL REPORT 2006–2007 ANNUAL REPORT

Depreciation rates (useful lives), residual values and methods are reviewed at each reporting date and necessary adjustments MEMORIAL AUSTRALIAN WAR are recognised in the current, or current and future reporting periods, as appropriate. Depreciation rates applying to each class of depreciable asset are based on the following useful lives:

2007 2006 Buildings & building improvements 10 to 75 years 10 to 75 years Plant and equipment 2 to 30 years 1 to 25 years Exhibitions 5 to 14 years 2 to 17 years Special Categories of Assets The Memorial building and land are categorised as restricted assets under Part E of the Finance Minister’s Orders. Restricted assets are those assets which cannot be deployed or disposed of because of legal or government policy restraints. Specifically, the Memorial does not have the power to dispose of either the main Memorial building or land upon which it stands.

Impairment All assets were assessed for impairment at 30 June 2007. Where indications of impairment exist, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated and an impairment adjustment made if the asset’s recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. Value in use is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. Where the future economic benefit of an asset is not primarily dependent on the assets’ ability to generate future cash flows, and the asset would be replaced if the Memorial were deprived of the asset, its value in use is taken to be its depreciated replacement cost. NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the period ended 30 June 2007

1.15 Heritage and Cultural Assets 6 Pursuant to Section 8 of the Australian War Memorial Act 1980, the Memorial has the authority to dispose of heritage and cultural items which are not required as part of the National Collection, or are unfit for inclusion.

Revaluations The National Collection is carried at fair value, which is measured at depreciated replacement cost or market selling price (for items where a market exists). Following initial recognition at cost, the National Collection is carried at fair value less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Valuations are conducted with sufficient frequency such that the carrying amounts of assets do not differ materially from the assets’ fair values as at the reporting date. The regularity of independent valuations depends upon the volatility of movements in market values for the relevant assets.

Depreciation All items in the National Collection are written off over their estimated useful life to the Memorial using the straight-line method of depreciation. 66 Depreciation rates (useful lives) have been estimated based on the condition and physical composition of items in each sub-class, and range from 10 to 600 years. Rates and methods are reviewed at each reporting date and necessary adjustments are recognised in the current, or current and future reporting periods, as appropriate. As described in Note 1.1 above, the Finance Minister has granted the Memorial an exemption to the application of Section 37.2 of Schedule 1 to the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies Orders (Financial Statements for periods ending on or after 1 July 2006), allowing the Memorial to continue to depreciate heritage and cultural assets with useful lives in excess of 200 years.

ANNUAL REPORT 2006–2007 ANNUAL REPORT 1.16 Intangible Assets AUSTRALIAN WAR MEMORIAL AUSTRALIAN WAR The Memorial’s intangibles comprise purchased software only, and are carried at cost. Software is amortised on a straight line basis over its anticipated useful lives. The useful lives range from 2 to 10 years (2006: 2 to 10 years). All software assets were assessed for indications of impairment as at 30 June 2007.

1.17 Inventories The Memorial holds inventory for sale only, which is reported at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs incurred in bringing each item of inventory to its present location and condition are assigned as follows: • Stores – average purchase cost; and • Finished goods and work in progress – cost of direct materials and labour plus attributable costs that are capable of being allocated on a reasonable basis. Inventories acquired at no cost or nominal consideration are measured at current replacement cost at the date of acquisition.

1.18 Trade Creditors and Other Payables Trade creditors and accruals are recognised at their nominal amounts, being the amounts at which the liabilities will be settled. Liabilities are recognised to the extent that the goods or services have been received (and irrespective of having been invoiced).

1.19 Commitments Capital commitments include current undertakings and outstanding contractual payments related to the redevelopment of Post-1945 Conflicts galleries. Some of these commitments extend over a three year period and additional funding will be secured in that time. NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the period ended 30 June 2007

Commitments are GST inclusive where relevant. The nature of operating lease commitments is as follows: 6 Nature of operating lease General description of leasing arrangement Agreements for the provision The lessor provides vehicles required for senior executives and pool vehicles of motor vehicles as required. There are no purchase options available to the Memorial, and no contingent rentals exist. Lease of computer equipment The lessor provides all computer equipment designated as necessary in the supply contract for three years plus a further year at the Memorial’s option, with a reduction of fees available. The initial equipment has, on average, a useful life of three years from the commencement of the lease. The Memorial may take out additional leases at any time during the contract period.

1.20 Contingent Assets and Contingent Liabilities Contingencies may arise from uncertainty as to the existence of an asset or liability, or represent an existing asset or liability where settlement is not probable or the amount cannot be reliably measured. The Memorial has no contingent assets or liabilities in either the current or immediately preceding reporting period. 67

The Memorial has no significant exposures to any concentrations of credit risk. The Memorial does not hold collateral or other security and therefore the figures for credit risk represent the maximum credit risk exposure. 77

16 ASSETS HELD IN TRUST These monies are not available for other purposes of the Memorial and are not recognised in the financial statements.

16A Florance Foundation Trust Fund During 1979-80 an amount of $3,000 was provided by Mrs D. Florance of Bowral, NSW, on condition that it is invested and the interest used to bring disadvantaged children to the Memorial. To this the Memorial added $5,000, bringing the total of the Florance Foundation to $8,000. In 1985-86 the Australian War Memorial Fund paid a further $10,000 into the Florance Foundation so that sufficient interest is generated to ensure the purpose of the Florance Foundation can continue. The Florance Foundation’s current financial position, which is reported on a cash basis, is as follows: 2007 2006 $ $ Balance carried forward from previous year 20 920 20 920 Interest received 1 150 1 147 Payments made (1 158) (1 147) Balance carried forward to next year 20 912 20 920 NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the period ended 30 June 2007

The current policy is for the Trust Fund to contribute the interest earned on the account towards the cost of fares associated 6 with the transportation of disadvantaged children to the Memorial, as part of the ANZAC Day commemorations. The Legacy Co-ordinating Council and the Memorial together meet the balance of the fares cost.

16B. Australian War Memorial Krait Trust Fund In April 1985 the Memorial received the MV Krait and $50,000 from the Association Krait Public Museum Fund. The monies, together with interest, are held in a separate bank account as provided for in the agreement with the trustees of the Krait Fund. These funds are for the conservation of the MV Krait.
