2020 Trust Tairāwhiti Financial Statements Trust Tairāwhiti Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 March 2020 The trustees are pleased to present the consolidated financial statements of Trust Tairawhiti for the year ended 31 March 2020. For and on behalf of the Board of Trustees. Paul Reynolds Ailsa Cuthbert Trustee, Chairman Trustee, Chair of Audit, Finance and Risk Committee 21st July 2020 Independent Auditor’s Report To the Trustees of Trust Tairāwhiti Opinion We have audited the financial statements of Trust Tairāwhiti (the ‘entity’) and its subsidiaries (‘the group’), which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at 31 March 2020, and the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Revenue and Expense, Statement of Changes in Net assets/Equity and Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements, on pages F - 3 to F - 58, present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the group as at 31 March 2020, and its consolidated financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Public Benefit Entity Standards. Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (‘ISAs’) and International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (‘ISAs (NZ)’). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. We are independent of the group in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 International Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (including International Independence Standards) (New Zealand) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. Other than in our capacity as auditor and the provision of other assurance services relating to the audit of regulatory disclosure statements, we have no relationship with or interests in the entity or any of its subsidiaries. These services have not impaired our independence as auditor of the entity or group. Other information The Board of Trustees are responsible on behalf of the group for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Annual Report that accompanies the consolidated financial statements and the audit report. Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information, and consider whether it is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If so, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Board of Trustee’s responsibilities The Board of Trustees are responsible on behalf of the group for the preparation and fair for the consolidated financial presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with Public Benefit statements Entity Standards, and for such internal control as the Board of Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Board of Trustees are responsible on behalf of the group for assessing the group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Trustees either intend to liquidate the group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor’s responsibilities for the Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, statements and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and ISAs (NZ) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements is located on at the External Reporting Board’s website at: https://www.xrb.govt.nz/standards-for-assurance-practitioners/auditors- responsibilities/audit-report-7 This description forms part of our auditor’s report. Restriction on use This report is made solely to the Board of Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Section 16 of the Trust Deed. Our audit has been undertaken so that we might state to the Board of Trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Board of Trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

DECISION Tina Ngata’s comment followed operations committee chairman Larry Foster’s closing remarks over what the appropriate imagery for the district might be, suggesting the possibility of a Maori and Pakeha embracing with a hongi and earning a rebuke from Ms Ngata. In revoking their decision, all 13 councillors and Mayor Rehette Stoltz agreed to instead “seek widespread community feedback and to consult REVOKED specifically with Tairawhiti iwi about the future location for the Endeavour replicas”. But councillor Meredith Akuhata-Brown n Councillors vote 14-0 in favour of rescinding called on her colleagues to go a step further. “The right thing to do is to stop saying Endeavour models reinstatement decision we will consult with tangata whenua — we will partner, we will be on the same page, we will work together, we will understand, because we’re just peeling the scab off a n Agree to ‘seek widespread community feedback’ sore that’s deep, a wound.” Her comments were widely applauded by members of the public who watched the and to ‘consult with Tairawhiti iwi’ meeting unfold after gathering outside the council building from 7.30am to protest the earlier decision with placards, one reading “No More Racist Monuments”.
