rest on our laurels, our Director, Professional Services, Craig Moss is continuing to develop a range of new courses to be rolled out over the coming year. We held three branch conferences in the last year – in Goondiwindi (March 2018), (April 2018) and Barcaldine (June 2018). These events are critical for bringing like-minded professionals together not just for the professional development but the opportunity to network with our peers. The conference dinners at all of these events were memorable. Thank you to the Goondiwindi Regional Council, Cairns Regional Council and Barcaldine Regional Council for hosting our branch conferences this year. A special thank you also to George Bourne & Associates who co-hosted the CQ Branch conference. The Institute established the Queensland Water Directorate (qldwater) in 2003 to deliver services to strengthen the urban Design Manual (SPDM).

Statement of Profit or Loss 25 Income & Profitability 26 Statement of Financial Position 27 Statement of Changes to Equity 28 Statement of Cash Flows 29 Board Members’ Declaration 30

General information These consolidated financial statements for the Institute of Public Works Engineering Australasia Queensland (the Institute) include the following three entities: 1. The Institute as an individual entity 2. The Queensland Water Directorate (qldwater), a business registered by the Institute 3. The IPWEA Queensland Foundation, a trust established by the Institute on behalf of members. Please refer to the Financial Report for the full report.

Changes to Standards and Reporting for Charities In previous years, the financial statements, Notes and Auditor’s Report were published in the Annual Report however changes to Auditing Standards (ASA 720) has affected how we will present the financial statements going forward. Best practice is now to separate these two documents, as adopted by leading firms (KPMG and Deloittes) and charities (Mission Australia, Barnados). Making any reference in the Auditor’s Report to the Annual Report would require the auditor to read the entire publication with professional fees incurred. For a NFP and charity in today’s modern regulatory framework, it is prudent to avoid unnecessary expenditure. Leigh Cunningham Chief Executive Officer
