Some items that the board has progressed include: development and approval of a new strategic plan, thanks to those who provided input further development of a new constitution that is to be presented for consideration by the membership development of a governance calendar, board induction program, board roles and responsibilities and a board charter VWPI Annual Report 2010 -2011

The strategic plan was signed off by the Board in June and came into effect on 1st July this year. It has been circulated to all of our clubs and can now be viewed on the Association’s website.

During the year the Association was fortunate to secure the services of Ian Clarke of Precedent Management who conducted a thorough governance review of the Association which also comprised a Board Review. Ian has a substantial track record in such matters in the sports industry and made a number of recommendations which the Board will continue to work on as it seeks to achieve the objectives of the four year strategic plan. One of the recommendations was to seek more diversity on our Board. The Board is extremely keen to increase female participation on the Board, either from current/former participants in our sport and/or from experienced business leaders within the

VWPI Annual Report 2010 -2011

FINANCE DIRECTOR’S REPORT

Financial Year 20010/11 was a period of further consolidation of a number of changes the board introduced in the 2009/10 financial year. These changes outlines in the last Annual Report have proved critical in providing strong management of association finances. Our goal was to not only have sound management practices, but to also create a budget process that allows us to strategically plan for our future in both income sourcing and expense management.

In addition there have been a number of further changes that have enhanced the system and procedures. These include: Enhanced budgeting procedures to allow far more rigorous focus on the actual cost of our operations, and from there strategically planning forward The Registration process will be moved to an on-line format to help reduce club administration load and improve cash flow for all parties involved (Clubs, VWPI and AWPI) Further simplification of our chart of accounts. Through operation we have been able to make the chart simpler and clearer, allowing far better understanding and monitoring of the accounts by the Board and staff The introduction of the Athlete Development Program has been a major undertaking, but the process has now settled in well For the first time we organised an overseas tour for our Athlete Development program athletes. The work involved was rewarded, and we look forward to creating more and similar opportunities for our athletes in these programs moving forward

The year in summary

The accounts show a loss incurred for the 2010/11 year of $4860.56. This is less than the budgeted loss. This year we have started accruing for Annual Leave of our staff, written off all stock. We currently hold no stock.

Of note, we have accrued $13,500 as a prepayment into FY 2011/12. This is a grant from the Department of Sport and Recreation to assist us in running the 16’s National Club Championships. The grant was received in the FY 2010/11, but we’ve elected to accrue the funds into FY2011/12 to that it can be expensed within the same financial as it was accrued.

Looking ahead - Financial Year 2011 / 12

VWPI currently anticipates annual income of approximately $597,000, annual expenditure of approximately $596,000, and retains cash reserves of just over $250,000. We are budgeting to breakeven this year

At present, VWPI has several main sources of income: Registration / Competition fees received from Members Grants received from funding bodies including: o Victorian Government’s Department of Sport & Recreation o VicHealth Income from athletes participating in VWPI-provided development programs

The VWPI Board is seeking to broaden the association’s income base with the achievement of ongoing, sustainable sponsorship income, as well as looking to create a recreational arm to our sport in Victoria.

Grant funding is critical to the operation of association, and, the majority of the grant funding currently received (90%) is tied to us achieving specific outcomes as agreed with the funding body. i.e., it cannot be transferred for other uses within the association. We submit grant applications that are in alignment with our strategic objectives, and which are focussed around development of the sport in specific areas. Our funding from VicHealth for the next three years that will allow us to focus on development in the area of female participation, and our current funding from the Victorian Government’s Department of Sport and Recreation allows us to focus on developing resources for junior development, schools Water Polo development as well as our capacity in the areas of Coaching and Refereeing.

In the pie graphs below, we show two key elements of our Budget for the coming year: The proportion of our income collected from various sources The proportion of our expenses allocated to various areas

Our objective is to provide positive partnerships for the sport, as well as yield additional income.

In conclusion, we hope that this information assists you in understanding our financial situation in more detail. If you have further questions prior to the AGM, you can contact either the VWPI Finance Director - Simon Wallace-Smith or Executive Officer - Gillian Manson.

Finally I would like to thank Gillian Manson for her help as well s the VWPI Bookkeeper Carmen Stocks for her excellent contribution.
