President's Report: Joseph Joyce
On behalf of the Rowing Victoria (RV) Board I am pleased to present the Board report on Rowing Victoria’s 2017/18 season.
Rowing Victoria exists to represent our members, facilitate safe and fair racing for all athletes and provide a unified voice to protect and grow the sport in Victoria and Australia. The demands on the sport have never been greater and we have a responsibility to recognise these challenges and build better processes and systems to support all member and volunteers. RV's strategic plan has provided a clear direction for the organisation and the changes are becoming evident.
We remain the fastest growing rowing community in Australia servicing the largest memberships and running the most regattas. Membership growth in individual members and seats raced provides visible signs of the change. In the last seven years our registered competitors have grown from 4,800 to 8,500, and the number of regatta seats has increased from 21,000 to just over 40,000. The sport of rowing in Victoria continues to grow with membership expected to reach 9000 by 2020.
Rowing Victoria has released a 5 year strategic plan to respond to the sports current and emerging needs. We will deliver this strategic plan through four key pillars:
Pillar 1: Event management Pillar 2: Regatta operations and services Pillar 3: Member engagement and development Pillar 4: Advocacy and stakeholder engagement
As the peak body for the management of rowing in Victoria, our success is underpinned by a firm commitment to represent the best interests of our 45 member clubs, 47 member schools, volunteers and supporters, in order to provide rowing for all ages and abilities in an engaging, welcoming and safe manner.
This strategy is delivered by our small but dedicated office who have harnessed the support from our community to participate on commissions and committees. To reflect our strategic direction, Nick Gall, CEO, has redefined roles to deliver better regatta day experience, closer relationships with clubs and stronger guidance and support for our athletes.

Presidents Report: Joe Joyce (cont.)
To ensure broader involvement from within the sport, we have aligned our commission charters and encouraged broad community representation across the three key areas of Umpires, Competition and Development. Each commission includes an RV Staff and Board member, to ensure consistency of process and ease of implementation. The growing demand for racing has created a greater demand for umpires and infrastructure to ensure safety and fairness for all athletes. We are incredibly fortunate to have such a large number of passionate volunteers to undertake roles as boat race officials and umpires. Managed by RV and under the guidance from the Umpires Commission led by Tony Lawless, we utilise over xxx trained boat race officials. RV is committed to the ongoing recruitment and training of umpires and this year we will launch an online level 1 BRO course to ensure ease of access and support for volunteers who would like to umpire. Our aim is to mentor these volunteers to gain the experience and skills required for level 2 accreditation.
RV is acutely aware of the challenges to develop pathways for athletes to move from school programs into a club system and elite programs. We are currently working with schools, clubs, coaches and athletes to better understand the issues and how best to support continued involvement in the sport. Our success in identifying and developing elite rowers is achieved through the partnership with the VIS, Mercantile and Melbourne University boat clubs.
Our involvement in elite rowing is predominately focussed around the selection and coaching of crews to represent Victoria in the Interstate and Kings Cup regatta. It is important for our sport to provide aspirational opportunities for our emerging athletes. To be a member of a team that has included Olympic gold medalists, diamond skull winners and world champions is an honour that all elite Victorian rowers strive towards. Success in this arena can only be achieved through the service of our volunteer selector and coaches.
We will continue to look for appropriate opportunity to reward talented athletes with Victorian crew representation outside that of the Interstate and Kings Cup regatta. This will include participation in Pathway regattas and other suitable events.
This continued growth has created greater pressure on the sport to provide volunteers, venues and governance. RV continues to lead the discussions with the Victorian government departments of Maritime Safety, Vic Roads and Parks Victoria to ensure access to the main waterways and promote safety for all waterway users. Our focus on safety is highlighted with RV stipulating compulsory training and accreditation for all coxswains and coaches.

Presidents Report: Joe Joyce (cont.)
Rowing Victoria works closely with RA and other State Associations to develop sport wide initiatives and ensure consistency of operations. Our involvement in the national rowing participation and development plan will ensure our efforts are aligned with the national approach. Operational efficiencies have been achieved with a common chart of accounts and accounting platform, aligned membership categories and a national insurance approach with our partnership with AON.
In October 2017 Leeanne Ambrose and Dick Bartlett were elected to the Board to join Pat McNamarra, Caitlin Ripper, Josie Millard and myself. As a Board we are fully committed to the needs of the sport and have become a more visible feature of Rowing Victoria. We are proud to reflect gender equity and believe the group fairly represents each segment of our community.
RV remains in a sound financial position and I would like to thank the work of James Scott RV Finance Officer and the Finance Sub-committee for their diligence. To ensure we retain a professional oversight of our financial position the Board has appointed Nikki McAllen as a Director of RV and Chair of the Finance Audit and Risk subcommittee. Nikki is a Management Consulting Partner at KPMG and has specialised in working with CFOs to shape their future intelligent and integrated finance and back office functions by improving processes, systems and tools.
The Victorian rowing community would like to congratulate David Ochert, who was awarded an OAM for services to rowing, after decades of dedicated service as a rower, coach and mentor. David, like so many other volunteers are the backbone of our sport and RV will continue to work with these members and volunteers to ensure our sport remains accessible and enjoyable.
Building on our successes, we are now looking forward to aiming for higher levels of achievement. This strategic plan will serve as a guide for Rowing Victoria as we strive to become a world-leading rowing organisation. We have a passionate membership, who are well served by the staff and Board of Rowing Victoria.

Chief Executive Officer Report: Nick Gall
Overview In 2017-18 season, Rowing Victoria (RV) has seen the completion of its first full year of the 2017 – 2020 Strategic Plan and there has been significant change.
The staff and Board of RV has undertaken deliberate culture change to become a service focussed business while working collaboratively with our 45 member clubs and 49 member schools to represent their interests as the peak body for management of rowing in Victoria.
People Under the banner of Regattas and Event Management, we were very lucky to find Adam Harrison to take on the role of Event Manager. Adam has hit the ground running and I believe Adam has engaged really well with all Event stakeholders. Laura Schouten has also filled in the role of Regatta Operations and has teamed up with Adam to provide a far greater level of service to the membership. On a not so positive note, we were unfortunate to lose Bronwyn Humphrys from the Regatta Operations role who will be sadly missed. We also lost Andrew O’Brien from the role of Club Development when the scope of this role changed. We wish them both the best of luck in there new roles.
I would like to thank the RV staff for the work they have put into achieving 8 years of consecutive profits, through tight control of the day to day running of the business. There has been significant staff changeover in the office and it has been a priority to try to make this transition seamless to our members.
Policy This year we would like to congratulate the membership on their whole of sport policy adoption. This year we have asked the membership to adopt a: code of behaviour, RA terms and conditions, child safe policy, child safe code of conduct, a volunteer agreement and an umpire agreement. All these policies will assist the sport in providing preventative measures for unwelcome incidents.
Cooperation 2017-18 season, saw the appointment of really effective commissions from members of the Victorian Rowing Community who rolled up their sleeves and got the job done. A good cross-section of expertise and experience and gender balance were elected. The role of the commissions are to assist RV with their specialist expertise and make qualified and quantified recommendations to RV on improvement of our services.

Chief Executive Officer Report: Nick Gall (cont.)
RV has recognised the need to engage with segmented membership groups more regularly. Our recent engagement with Presidents and Captains provided a great start to our ongoing commitment in listening to our members.
Stakeholder Engagement
Rowing Australia’s (RA) pathway program has required RV to rethink the way we assist the pathway program. A co-investment role has been established with the VIS and RV that will work closely with schools and clubs in providing clarity, education and recruitment into rowing after school.
RV has managed to secure a 9 year / $400k commitment from City of Ballarat to continue to support Lake Wendouree for championship events. This exciting agreement will underpin the City of Ballarat commitment to Lake Wendouree and provide our state championships with positive athlete and spectator experiences.
RV continues to work with DELWIP and Parks Victoria on securing funding for improvements at the National Water Sports Centre. A initial state government of $3 million has been secured for building and access infrastructure. A committee of management has been established to assist in the investment of this grant.
RV recently conducted an audit of all regatta venues in order to assist committees and clubs in gaining infrastructure improvements to their venues through endorsement of local, state and national grants.
RV obtained $40k of base funding from the Victorian Government again this year, unfortunately this has remained stagnant for the past 10 years due to so many new sports coming in under this funding. On top of this RV were successful in receiving $13k of Women Leadership in Sport funding, $6k of Pathway Athlete Travel grants and endorsement of $45k of club support funding for our members.
International & Interstate Funds
RV maintains investment portfolios whose income is used to support the Interstate Team and unfunded International Team members. During the 2017-18 year, the Interstate Fund earned $22,323 with $22,470 spent on the team. Including fundraising and donations, the International Fund earned $9,247 and $8,850 disbursed to, or spent on, athletes and coaches. We were pleased to provide $1875 to each of the junior and U23 team members to assist in defraying the costs of their $8k RA team seat fees. We were also pleased to provide the U21 team with $937.50 to assist in defraying the cost of their $3.5k RA team seat fee.

Chief Executive Officer Report: Nick Gall (cont.)
Volunteers The Board of RV under the Chair Joseph Joyce, has again offered great support to the office through their contacts, engagement, knowledge and insights of the sport. I greatly appreciate all their efforts.
I would like to thank all our volunteers and in particular, our committed umpires who have again put in significant hours due to the limited numbers currently accredited. We will continue to identify potential candidates and strive to improve numbers of umpires this year. Our target Level 2 number is still 100.
Partners Thank you to our partners this year in: Regatta Shop, Victorian Government, City of Ballarat, Strathbogie Shire, Cash’s and Coxmate. You have all been very supportive of our events and we look forward to leveraging your brand through our events and promotion.
Looking forward The key focus for the office this year will be to work on providing quality service. As part of this delivery it will be essential that we provide strong and engaging communication with our clubs and schools and continue with our online education tools to deliver at a greater capacity. We look forward to working with our member clubs and schools on our focus.

Umpires Panel Report: Tony Lawless
The Umpires Commission consisted of Michael Eastaughffe, David Grubits, Ben Ratcliffe, Lesley Skevington, Rod Florence and myself Tony Lawless. Throughout the season we met on a regular basis to coordinate umpire duties, educate current umpires and Level 1 BRO's and transition people to level 2 and 3 positions. With support from Bron and Adam we were able to achieve some great results and complete a great season of work. In Victoria we have 51 umpires registered and during the season 44 of these worked at regattas. The volunteer hours of these 44 vary with the greatest being 230 hours down to 2.5 hours. It is then obvious there is a great difference in the hours worked by officials. The umpires worked a total of 2970 hours this season with 12 umpires completing 61% (1829 hours) volunteer hours.
The bulk of umpires come from a club background, but work all types of regattas, club, school and masters. We have several umpires associated with boys schools and one who represents a co-ed school. The great percentage of our time is spent umpiring school girl regattas but we have very little interest from those involved in volunteering to help. In the near future we need to attract level 2 umpires from the schoolgirl sector to reduce the workload on the small group of volunteers that do an enormous amount of work. During the season we welcomed two new umpires in Lisa Letic and Shane Wood. Both completed their trainee period and successfully completed their exams. Their future contribution will be appreciated.
This year we made great inroads into the process of advancement to Level 3 Australian Umpire. Previously there was no written or transparent policy at state or national level. This created confusion to everyone involved. The commission constructed a working policy that gave clear direction to all involved, outlining procedures, qualifications and mentoring. This was further adapted by Rowing Australia. At the end of the process Paul Diggerson obtained his level 3 Licence with a pathway being paved for future candidates. The commission in partnership with RV have worked towards supplying an on line level 1 BRO course which will allow us to streamline the process doing away with late night meetings and kilometres travelled throughout the state. We hope to have this finalised in late 2018.
Rowing Victoria also sponsored our conference which was held in Geelong. All umpires participated in workshops and discussions aimed at improving the already high quality of umpiring in this state. As a result of this conference the using of electronic tablets l be made available this year. This will reduce the need for printing programs, receiving hard copy updates and make regattas more efficient. The commission would like to welcome board member Josie Millard as a new member. This provides a great conduit between the two parties and can only further enhance the effectiveness of all those who volunteer their time. The commission looks forward to the 2018-19 season. We look forward to providing quality competition for all involved that is both safe and fair.
Tony Lawless

Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2018
The financial statements cover Rowing Victoria Inc. as an individual entity. Rowing Victoria Inc. is a not-for-profit Association incorporated in Victoria under the Associations Incorporation Reform Act 2012 ('the Act').
The principal activity of the Association for the year ended 30 June 2018 was management of rowing in
Victoria. The functional and presentation currency of Rowing Victoria Inc. is Australian dollars.
The financial report was authorised for issue by the Committee of Management on 13 September
2018. Comparatives are consistent with prior years, unless otherwise stated.
1 Basis of Preparation The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Associations Incorporation Reform Act 2012. The Association is a not-for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards.
Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in financial statements containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are presented below and have been consistently applied unless stated otherwise.
The financial report covers Rowing Victoria Inc. as an individual entity incorporated in Victoria under the Associations Incorporation Reform Act 2012 (Victoria).
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in order to satisfy the financial reporting requirements of the Associations Incorporation Reform Act 2012 (Victoria). The Board has determined that the Association is a reporting entity.
The financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical costs and do not take account changing money values or, except where specifically stated, current valuations of non-current assets.
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistent with the previous period, unless otherwise stated, have been adopted in the preparation of these financial statements.
2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Revenue recognition Sponsorship contributions are generally recognised as revenue on receipt except for specific sponsorships or donations for which the Association has received a binding commitment from the sponsor or donor.
Grants are recognised at fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all grant conditions will be met. The grants are recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income when the Association obtains control of the revenue, it is probable that the economic benefits gained from the contract will flow to the Association and the amount of the revenue can be measured reliably.
When grant revenue is received whereby the Association incurs an obligation to deliver economic value directly back to the contributor, this is considered a reciprocal transaction and the revenue is recognised in the Statement of Financial Position as a liability until the service has been delivered to the contributor, otherwise the grant is recognised as income on receipt.
Proceeds from additional activities are recognised on receipt. Interest revenue is recognised as it is earned,
21
Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2018
2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Revenue recognition using the effective interest method. Donations and dividends are recognised when the Association receives control over the related funds.
(b) Plant and equipment Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation.
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets, is depreciated on the diminishing value basis over their useful lives to the Association from the time the asset is held ready for use.
The depreciation rates used for each class of asset are:
Office equipment 20% to 50%
Regatta and rowing equipment 12.5% to 50%
The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by the Association to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount of those assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows which will be received from the assets’ employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have not been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.
(c) Employee Benefits Provision is made for the Association’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the end of the reporting period. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the net present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. In determining the liability, consideration is given to employee wage increases and the probability that the employee may not satisfy vesting requirements. Those cash outflows are discounted using market yields on corporate bonds with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of cash flows.
Contributions are made by the entity to employee superannuation funds and are charged as expenses when incurred. Annual leave that is not expected to be wholly settled within 12 months is discounted allowing for expected salary levels in the future period when the leave is expected to be taken.
(d) Trade and other payables Accounts payable and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period for goods and services received by the Association during the reporting period that remain unpaid. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amounts normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability.
(e) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments. The term deposits, which short term in nature and are available as cash on call, have been included as cash and cash equivalents.
22
Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2018
2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(f) Financial assets Investments held are originally recognised at cost which includes transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at fair value which is equivalent to their market bid price at reporting date. Movements in fair value are recognised through the asset revaluation reserve.
(g) Inventories Inventories are measured at lower of cost and net realisable value, adjusted when applicable for any loss of service potential.
(h) Goods and services tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of the GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included with other receivables and payables in the Statement of Financial Position.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, tax authority.
(i) Impairment of assets At the end of each reporting period, the board reviews the carrying values of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, impairment is carried out on the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value-in-use, to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.
(j) Available for sale financial assets All investments are classified as available for sale financial assets. Available for sale financial assets are reflected at fair value unless the fair value cannot be reliably measured. Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are taken directly to equity.
(k) Comparative figures Where required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with changes in presentation for the current financial year.

(l) Fair Value Measurement When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the principle market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.
Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming they act in their economic best interest. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
(m) Income tax The Association is exempt from paying income tax under Section 50-45 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.
(n) Current and non-current classification Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification.
An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
(o) New Accounting Standards and Interpretations The AASB has issued new and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have mandatory application dates for future reporting periods. The Association has decided not to early adopt these Standards. The following table summarises those future requirements, and their impact on the Association where the standard is relevant:

3 Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assump- tions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judge- ments and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, includ- ing expectations of future events; management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The result- ing accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, esti- mates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below.
Key estimates - Useful lives and depreciation
The Association has assessed the useful lives of assets and to recognise these assets over their useful lives using an appropriate depreciation method and rate. Refer to Note 2(b).
Key estimates - Impairment
The Association assesses impairment at the end of each reporting date by evaluation of conditions and events specific to the Association that may be an indicative of impairment triggers. Recoverable amounts of relevant assets are reassessed using value-in-use calculations which incorporate various key assumptions.
No impairment has been recognised in respect of assets.
Key estimates - Provision for Employee benefits
The Association has determined the liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the end of the reporting year. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. Refer to Note 2(c).

Key management personnel compensation 96,853 96,853
17 Contingencies
Litigation has commenced against Rowing Victoria in the County Court of Victoria by an individual member seek- ing damages from Rowing Victoria and other defendants. This litigation follows previously unsuccessful com- plaints made to the fair work commission and complaints that have been heard by Rowing Victoria and Rowing Australia tribunals.
Whilst Rowing Victoria continues to vigorously defend these claims, the outcome of such proceedings at this stage cannot be predicted with certainty. An adverse decision could result in additional costs that could significantly impact the entity.
Liability for costs and potential awarded damages arising from these claims cannot be ascertained at this stage and therefore has not been recorded on the basis of legal advice that the claim can be defended and liability is not proba- ble. At this time management is not able to reliably quantify the potential impact of this matter.

Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Rowing Victoria Incorporated (the association), which com- prises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2018, the statement of comprehensive in- come, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors’ declaration.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the association gives a true and fair view of the association’s financial position as at 30 June 2018 and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements and the Associations Incorporation Reform Act 2012.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the association in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Associations Incorporation Reform Act 2012 and the ethical re- quirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Aus- tralia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Other Information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the infor- mation included in the association’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018, but does not in- clude the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other in- formation, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the association are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Require- ments and the Associations Incorporation Reform Act 2012 and for such internal control as the direc- tors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the associa- tion to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the associ- ation or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, 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 the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a materi- al misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered mate- rial if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise profes- sional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evi- dence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not de- tecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit proce- dures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the association’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the association’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such dis- closures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evi- dence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the association to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the dis- closures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
35
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during the audit.

Recognising our Volunteers in 2017-2018 Without the contribution and support of volunteers, successful club / school management, training, development and rowing competition in Victoria would simply not be possible. Rowing Victoria would like to thank all umpires, regattas volunteers, commission and committee members, board members and many other contributors for their time, energy and outstanding passion for the role/s they have played in the past year. While RV would love to be able to acknowledge everyone, the following awards recognise a number of those who have provided outstanding services to rowing in Victoria.
The William Waterfield Award for Outstanding Service to Victorian rowing. Named after life member William Waterfield, who exemplifies a long and outstanding service to the sport in Victoria, we are pleased to present this year’s award to David Yates David has a long and distinguished service to the sport. He is a large contributor to the success of Victorian and Australian crews over many years. David’s coaching career was highlighted by running a sculling squad in the 1980’s which introduced squad training into Melbourne and overcame some of the traditional disorganization associated with scullers training. He introduced a far higher proportion of aerobic distance training gained from his experience in Europe before it became common place in Australia. Introducing systematic and innovative training methods. It was a forerunner of the AIS and other sculling squads in Australia. The squad developed considerable success and scullers eights started defeating State crews. David's achievements include the well-known success of Peter Antonie and also Hamish McGlashan winning the Diamond Sculls in 1988. The latter being a result beyond expectation defeating the highly favoured American Andrew Sudduth. David then made the successful transition to selector and has been the mainstay of selection since. He has overseen the growth in Australia’s success during this period and his work is a significant factor in this success.
The Kath Bennett Award for Outstanding Service to a Rowing Community in Victoria. The award is planned to capture those people who have done outstanding work in a club, regatta committee or region. Kath Bennett is a fine example of such work with reinvigorating women’s rowing prior to amalgamation with the men’s association in 1979. This year the award goes to Beth Walter. Joining Nagambie in early 2000’s from Melbourne Beth immediately involved herself in both rowing and local community groups. Prior to 2006 Beth drove the regatta known today as the Head of the Goulburn. Initially known as the Tahbilk “Bridge to Vines” regatta, as she wanted to make sure the local community benefited as much as possible from the hosting of such a regatta. For the first 8 years she grew this regatta, always encouraging new events, new sponsorships and showcasing the local area’s delights and attractions for rowers travelling to Nagambie. Beth is very active within Nagambie Rowing Club, assisting the Board with concepts and initiatives such as weekly Learn to Row sessions which she has run for many years- always there for any locals interested in learning to row. Identifying Nagambie had an issue with recruiting young rowers she leapt on the Adopt-a-school program. This involved identifying and making contact with a school in a town 45 minutes away (Euroa Secondary College) as Nagambie does not have its own high school. She drove this program within NRC for 3-4 years, which resulted in several young people who still today are rowing, either at NRC or city clubs as they have left school and attend university. Beth is also an active rower herself, having even competed at international regattas, including World FISA Masters, and the Champion of Champion event at the Australian Masters regatta, after winning her age group in the single scull.

David has proudly represented Victorian umpires exceptionally well at both the Australian Rowing Championships and international FISA regattas abroad.

Susie Palfreyman continues to play a significant role in Victorian rowing, having developed a world-class program at MLC, founding the Head of the Schoolgirls regatta and continuing to support initiatives such as the Hall of Fame event. Susie continues to be a wonderful role model for Women in Rowing.

Report to the 2017 - 2020 Strategic Plan :
Rowing Victoria (RV) has completed the first year of this four-year strategic plan that will guide and support Victorian rowing clubs in building and retaining membership.
As the peak body for the management of rowing in Victoria, Rowing Victoria’s our success will be underpinned by a firm commitment to representing the best interests of and working collaboratively with our 45 member clubs and 47 member schools in order to provide rowing for all ages and abilities in an engaging, welcoming and safe manner.
Rowing Victoria will deliver strong engagement with our members through our commissions and committees, whose feedback will inform processes and drive improvements to the membership experience.
Rowing Victoria is ensuring that our individual members are well informed and satisfied with the service provided by Rowing Victoria.
Pillar 1: Event management We will deliver and facilitate positive experiences for all RV-sanctioned events in Victoria.
One of the key focuses for this year was to work closely with the Competition Commission to make regatta days not so onerous on volunteers, coaches and athletes by ensuring we have appropriate and equitable opportunities to race for each boat class. Some of the areas include split shifts for umpires and a maximum of ten hour regatta days.
The other key focus for Event Management has been recognising achievements through the Hall of Fame Dinner and the dedicated Annual Awards function. These were both a huge success this year.
Pillar 2: Regatta operations and services We will deliver high-quality service and strengthen our relationships with regatta stakeholders.
The focus on assisting regatta committees in making their regattas more enjoyable and viable is where RV works as a natural extension to the committee by way of identifying regatta needs and deficiencies and applying for appropriate grants and funds that will assist in making regattas more sustainable.
RV has been working closely with the Umpires Commission in order to provide a Rowing Manager Rostering system that will not only provide rostering for regattas but accumulate proficiency points in order to continue in up-skilling our umpires.
45
Report to the 2017 - 2020 Strategic Plan :
A significant amount of work has been undertaken by the Competition and Umpires Commission in reviewing regatta policies. This will smooth out grey areas and provide clear policy around communication. We thank the Competition and Umpires Commission for all their work.
Timing at regattas this year has been a game changer for spectators, parents and other interested parties who wish to access results. This coupled with our live streaming of major events and sparked the interest in rowing locally all over the world. We will aim to gradually improve this service to our membership.
Pillar 3: Member engagement and development We will increase the number of people who participate in rowing.
RV has started on its journey of articulating the pathway for school age rowers as they leave school and wish to continue in the sport. A database of school age members has been established that allows RV to communicate to individuals on all the opportunities associated with rowing in Victoria.
RV promoted thorough the website and social channels 9 club open days in the 2017-18 season. One of the challenges we will be working on this year is ensuring that the clubs can articulate and guarantee their offer. This will be achieved with further development and simplification of the OARS program that is published on the RV website.
This year, RV have invested significantly in the recruitment space. While we are targeting recruitment of twenty-two junior age athletes in the pathway system we are focussed on recruiting as many junior age athletes and volunteers into the club system. We will continue to work with clubs and schools to ensure their athletes are aware of the pathway for rowing.
RV’s inaugural SSV Indoor Rowing Championships this year will provide rowing with an opportunity to engage with schools without dedicated rowing programs. RV aims to partner with clubs to provide an experience and a strong understanding of what a wonderful sport rowing is.
RV has had a pathway tent at some of the championship regattas this year where we provide underage athletes with information on the pathway. This year we will have a dedicated employee in this space that is co-funded under the Victorian Pathway Program.
Pillar 4: Advocacy and stakeholder engagement We will facilitate stakeholder engagement in order to create a safer and more inclusive culture in Victorian rowing.
This years Swan St Bridge upgrade has caused headaches. There has been numerous times where RV has been required to intervene for the safety and accessibility of our sport. Although inconvenient for everyone, we hope that you recognise the efforts of RV in this space.
That National Water Sports Centre has seen a proposed change to overall management structure due to the need for investment in the dilapidated venue. RV has been working with all the waterway users to ensure rowing gets equitable usage and improvements to safety and access to the water. We will continue to work with DELWIP, Parks Victoria, Dandenong Council and Melbourne Water to ensure rowing is well represented.
46
Report to the 2017 - 2020 Strategic Plan :
RV conducted a club safety audit this year that outlined how well the clubs were going with their safety compliance. RV provided Maritime Safety with some high level trends that they were very pleased with. RV will now work with Maritime Safety to develop clearer waterway rules for all stakeholders, clearer signage for traffic and stronger understanding of local waterway knowledge.
RV will continue to work with Parks Victoria and Melbourne City Council on equitable access and usage for the Princes Bridge Precinct. We recognise the need to lobby strongly on the Domain Master Plan with City of Melbourne, the dredging around the staging with Parks Victoria and the bridge works with VicRoads.
RV is excited about our compliance in meeting Board Quota for Gender Diversity. We will continue to identify and recruit passionate and highly skilled women who can assist RV on Boards, Committees and Commissions.
Policy for Member Protection and Child Safety has provided significant changes to the way our sport conducts their business. Our focus is to ensure our clubs and schools adopt these policies and ensure that they understand their obligations.
This years focus will be to ensure we improve on our service provision and improve the culture of the organisation to put the member first.
Building on our successes, we are now looking forward to aiming for higher levels of achievement. This strategic plan will serve as a guide for Rowing Victoria as we strive to become a world-leading rowing organisation. We have a passionate membership and will continue to move forward, develop and build on our momentum.
