To Be the Leading Sport for Women and Girls TO BE THE LEADING SPORT FOR WOMEN AND GIRLS In line with our commitment to be openly accountable for ongoing progress towards becoming the Leading Sport For Women And Girls, welcome to the third Australian Cricket Press For Progress Report. Starting with defending a Women’s Ashes overseas, continuing with the first standalone season of the rebel Women’s Big Bash League, and culminating in the record-breaking final of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup on International Women’s THE Day, this year belongs to so many: the current generation of professional athletes, the generations past who gave so much, the future generations who can see what is possible, and the countless players, volunteers, coaches, families and friends, fans and administrators who have built the involvement and inclusion of women and girls in our great game piece by piece. GREATEST As we continue our journey towards being a truly gender equal sport, evidence tells IN THE HISTORY OF THE us that a record number of Australians are on this journey with us. More girls are playing cricket than ever before. Cricket is viewed as more gender inclusive than WOMEN’S ELITE GAME ever before. The Australian Women’s Team has been named as our country’s most IN AUSTRALIA loved sports team. But owning our challenges is also a fundamental part of our commitment to YEAR transparency, and the highs of this past year were quickly followed by significant lows as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic spread globally. This once-in-a-century event is being felt throughout our game, and it will take deliberate and ongoing focus to ensure that perfect night at the MCG in March continues to inspire and attract more women and girls to cricket. With all sports impacted to varying degrees, we call on our peers to join Australian Cricket in publicly sharing their commitments to create better opportunities for women and girls in sport. Now is not the time to revert to ways of old. It is an opportunity to reimagine our sector, with decisions to be made that will shape sport in our country for decades to come. That future must be one that includes all Australians. Australian Cricket has been bold with the aspiration it is working to bring to life. It sits with us to ensure the momentum that has been built is sustained through this uncertain time, and reinforced as our sport continues into this new decade. Will you join us?

    Section C C.1 Risk Management and Internal Audit Internal Audit The Directorate’s Audit Committee oversees, on behalf of the Director-General, the Directorate’s governance, risk, compliance and internal control environments, and provides assurance as to their effectiveness. The Committee acts independently of management. The EDD Audit Committee Charter was reviewed and agreed (with only minor amendments) in November 2012. There were no changes to the membership of the Audit Committee during the financial year. Annual and forward audit programs are guided by governance, risk and compliance programs and are supported by an Audit Recommendations Implementation Register. The Directorate’s three-year internal audit program was agreed by the Senior Executive Committee and by the Audit Committee in November 2012, with the program including a balance of compliance and performance audits across the three years. A significant matter of interest for the EDD Audit Committee during this reporting year was the implementation of recommendations identified by the Auditor-General during the 2011-12 financial audit, to improve the control framework in place within the Directorate. By the end of the 2012-13 reporting year the majority of recommendations had been addressed and completed. The Audit Committee specifically congratulated the relevant areas of the Directorate on their work in documenting and improving governance and control processes. Four internal audits were completed during the reporting year, with a further three internal audits undertaken but not yet complete at the end of the year. The internal audits completed and presented to the EDD Audit Committee during the 2012-13 reporting year were: • Follow Up Audit – Territory Venues and Events – November 2012 • Review of credit card usage – May 2013 • Review of the payment of invoices – May 2013 • Review of salary acquittal reports – June 2013 The EDD Audit Committee met on six occasions during 2012-13.

Established 1967 President's Report It is my pleasure to report on another highly successful and buoyant year for the Australian Cricket Society in 2020-21. Despite all the challenges of lockdowns and the nation’s roller- coasting battle with Covid-19 we have been able to complete a dozen functions in the last 12 months, albeit the majority by ‘Zoom’, allowing us to make another substantial donation to our gold charity partners the Ponting Foundation. Among the Zoom guests were Test offspinner Ashley Mallett, authors David Frith, Dan Liebke, Craig Dodson and Wes Cusworth and leading Australian women Annabel Sutherland and Rachael Haynes. We were also pleased to hold our annual dinner, which Covid- 19 had precluded from being held in 2020. Cricket’s fraternity and friendships were never more important than in July when our dinner guest, Test fast bowler James Pattinson was in touch on the Wednesday, telling me that a personal issue precluded his attendance for the Friday. There was just 48 hours to go and Victoria’s head coach Chris Rogers stepped in. Chris Rogers demonstrating how high the Master should be raising his arm when bowling!
