2 SWIMMING AUSTRALIA ANNUAL REPORT 2009–10 | CONTENTS Message from Telstra
Telstra is proud to be the principal sponsor of Swimming Australia, which does so much to foster this iconic Aussie sport.
From local town pools to Olympic stadiums, Telstra’s support of Swimming Australia helps develop and promote swimming at both community and elite levels. Our sponsorship also supports the Swimmers with Disability program, the Telstra Swimmer of the Year awards, plus a number of domestic and international swim meets.
The next generation of Australian swimming stars are nurtured through a number of Telstra programs that include swimming clinics and the Telstra Assistance Fund. In 2009 this fund supplied more than 102 swimming clubs around the country with essential training equipment including kick boards, lane ropes and backstroke flags, to the value of $250 000.
This year we made the difficult decision to retire as the principal sponsor as of 6 May 2011, after a very proud 19 years. We wish Swimming Australia every success in securing a new partner to help continue the proud record of the Telstra Dolphins on the world stage.
Kate McKenzie Chief Marketing Officer Telstra Strategic Marketing

ASA has continued to demonstrate its commitment to the welfare and development of swimmers through its education assistance program. We committed $31 000 to this program, assisting 71 swimmers with reimbursements for study expenses. With a focus on athlete career

The directors of Swimming Tasmania have worked cohesively as a Board to ensure strategic direction and sound financial management. The commitment and input of the directors is acknowledged, as is the dedication of the office staff.
Swimming Tasmania embarked on a partnership with Swimming Northern Territory to increase the number of qualified technical officials for the Territory.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001. This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
