Chairperson’s Message As our operating year for 2015/2016 comes to a close, it’s important we take stock of all we have achieved at Sport NSW – and there is much to celebrate. Our team have worked incredibly hard over the past year to deliver on a number of milestones, of which I’ll touch on a few.

The inclusion of Womensport & Recreation NSW (WRNSW) into our team at Sport NSW has undoubtedly made us a more progressive and inclusive organisation. I would like to acknowledge former Chair of WRNSW Susan Horwitz for her commitment to bringing our two organisations together and her valued insights to Sport NSW as our newest Director. Susan will also chair the Women’s Advisory Council subcommittee. I would also like to acknowledge all former WRNSW Board members whose ongoing commitment to making Sport NSW a leader across the sports industry is valued by our team.

This year our organisation received a commitment for funding for four years from the Office of Sport. Certainty of funding has been one of our greatest strategic and operational challenges over the past few years. To receive this long term commitment is endorsement for the increasing responsibility and presence that Sport NSW will play across our industry. Thank you to Minister for Sport Stuart Ayres, Matt Miller, Paul Doorn and Phil Hamdorf for your support.

The past year also saw a change in Sport NSW CEO’s. As many of you know our previous CEO Cheryl Battaerd sought a tree/sea change earlier this year and relocated with her husband to Northern NSW. Cheryl’s contribution to Sport NSW can never be understated. Cheryl’s leadership from 2013 – 2016, her passion for inclusion and equality, coupled with her tireless advocacy for all of our member sports has enabled Sport NSW to become the stable organisation it is today. On behalf of our staff and Board, we would like to congratulate Cheryl on her achievements and acknowledge her passion and industry leadership for Sport in NSW.

In selecting a new CEO, Sport NSW established a selection subcommittee and ran an exhaustive industry wide process to select a well-qualified candidate. I would like to take this opportunity to thank two of our Sport NSW Directors, Ross Bidencope and Carolyn Campbell for their commitment to this process. The selection process concluded with the appointment of Darren Simpson. Darren has occupied senior executive positions within State Sporting Organisations for the past 10 years and was a standout candidate in a strong field. Darren has made an immediate impact building strong relations with our staff and Board; delivering on the expectations of our funding agreements with the Office of Sport and Department of Family & Community Services; and beginning the process of establishing respected and mutually beneficial relationships with our members and corporate partners. We look forward to working with Darren over the coming years as we expand our member services and support to the industry.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank fellow Sport NSW Directors, Fay Calderone (Deputy Chair), Ross Bidencope (Chair of Finance), Carolyn Campbell, Greg Meagher, Tracie Edmondson, Alison Nolan, Katherine O’Regan and Susan Horwitz. All of our Directors volunteer their time to our organisation and we are fortunate to have such a respected and competent Board. I would also like to compliment our dedicated staff including Cassie Browne (nee Butcher), Murray Elbourn, Denise Rogers and Shireen Yousif, as well as welcoming our newest team member Sophie Milton to the role of Membership & Female Programs Officer.

In closing, thank you to all of our Sport NSW members for their continued support; our NSW Government Partners at the Office of Sport and the Department of Family & Community Services; and our corporate partners.

We look forward to working with you all again in 2016/17.

A first for the program, awarded to organisations who demonstrate outstanding commitment to the principles of inclusion and diversity in their sport or the sport industry as a whole, it is a celebration of the work being done towards building a holistic and all-inclusive sporting community across the board.

Chair of Finance Report

It is my pleasure to present the audited Balance Sheet and Financial Statement of New South Wales Sports Federation (Sport NSW), for the twelve months ending 30th June 2016.

The Federation recorded a virtual breakeven deficit of $1,439 (2015 surplus $134,523). As noted in last year’s report much of the 15-16 funding was recognised in the last financial year due to its early receipt, hence the significant swing between this year and last. The table below shows that in Net Asset terms the Federation is in a virtually identical position to that of 2015.

In terms of cash, the Federation has improved 42% to $438,205 (prior year $307,155). Resulting in cash exceeding amounts owed to outside parts by a factor of two.

Financial Highlights

$’000 2011-12 2012-13 2013-14 2014-15 2015-16 Revenue 387 313 291 493 453 Expenditure 387 394 358 358 454 Surplus/(Deficit) 1 -81 -67 134 -1 Net Assets 333 251 184 318 317 Government Funding 175 175 148 358 293

In terms of government grant funds as at 30 June 2016, $125,000 received has been deferred (liability) until next financial year as it relates to known deliverables required in the 16-17 year. These together with the $293,000 already recognised in the profit and loss statement show government funding increasing by 17%.

The State Government grants of $418K ($293K +$125K) have a substantial impact on the Federation’s operating position and allow it to continue to support its members and advocate for sport in NSW. Thus I would like to give special thanks to the NSW Government, Office of Sport – Sport and Recreation and the Department of Family and Community Services plus our valued partners Arthur J. Gallagher, Australian Institute of Company Directors, Navarra Venues, Lander and Rogers, Meltwater, Pitcher Partners, icare Sporting Injuries Insurance, YCG, World Corporate Travel, Valour Apparel and Revolutionise Sport.

So financially, the Federation continues to be in a strong position and can look forward to a sustainable future.

In closing I would like to thank the Board and staff and in particular Cheryl Battaerd, Darren Simpson and Cassie Browne (nee Butcher).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements, Interpretations and other applicable authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board.

The financial report was approved by the board as at the date of the board report.

NSW Sports Federation Incorporated is a not‑for‑profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.

The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the association in the preparation and presentation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.

(a) Basis of preparation of the financial report Historical Cost Convention The financial report has been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by revaluations to fair value for certain classes of assets and liabilities as described in the accounting policies.

(b) Revenue Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Risks and rewards of ownership are considered passed to the buyer at the time of delivery of the goods to the customer.

Revenue from the rendering of services is recognised upon the delivery of the goods/services to the customers.

Membership fees are recognised as revenue when no significant uncertainty as to its collectibility exists, if the fee relates only to membership and all other services or products are paid for separately, or if there is a separate annual subscription. Membership fees are recognised on a basis that reflects the timing, nature and value of the benefit provided if the fee entitles the member to services or publications to be provided during the membership period, or to purchase goods or services at prices lower than those charged to non‑members.

Revenue from organising and hosting events is recognised in the period in which the events are held.

Distribution revenue is recognised when the right to receive a distribution has been established.

Interest revenue is recognised when it becomes receivable on a proportional basis taking in to account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.

Grant revenue is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income when the entity obtains control of the grant and it is probable that the economic benefits gained from the grant will flow to the entity and the amount of the grant can be measured reliably.

All revenue is measured net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST). NSW Sports Federation Incorporated 20 ABN 40 314 091 302

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(c) Contributions – Government Grants and Donations A non‑reciprocal contribution or grant is recognised when the entity obtains control of the contribution or grant and it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the entity, and the amount of the contribution or grant can be measured reliably.

If conditions attached to the contribution or grant that must be satisfied before the entity is eligible to receive the contribution, recognition of contribution or income is deferred until those conditions are met.

A non‑reciprocal donation is recognised when the right to receive a donation has been established.

When the entity receives grants but is obliged to give directly approximately equal value to the contributor, recognition of grant income will be deferred until the delivery of service.

(d) Financial instruments Classification The association classifies its financial assets in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held‑to‑maturity investments, and available‑for‑sale financial assets. The classification depends on the nature of the item and the purpose for which the instruments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial instruments at initial recognition.

Fair value through profit or loss Financial assets are classified at fair value through profit or loss when they are held for trading for the purpose of short‑term profit taking, are derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or when they are designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation by key management personnel. Investments in listed securities are carried at fair value through profit or loss. They are measured at their fair value at each reporting date and any increment or decrement in fair value from the prior period is recognised in profit or loss of the current period. Fair value of listed investments is based on closing bid prices at the reporting date.

Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non‑derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Donated financial assets Financial assets donated to the group are recognised at fair value at the date the group obtains the control of the assets.

(e) Property, plant and equipment Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Plant and equipment Plant and equipment is measured at cost. Where plant and equipment was acquired at no cost or for a nominal amount, cost is deemed to be the fair value as at the acquisition date.

Depreciation The depreciable amount of all property, plant and equipment is depreciated over their estimated useful lives commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Land and the land component of any class of property, plant and equipment is not depreciated.

Class of fixed asset Depreciation rates Depreciation basis

Office equipment at cost 25% Straight line

Computer equipment at cost 25% Straight line 21 NSW Sports Federation Incorporated ABN 40 314 091 302

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(f) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the association has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.

(g) Employee benefits (i) Short‑term employee benefit obligations Liabilities arising in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, accumulated sick leave and any other employee benefits (other than termination benefits) expected to be settled wholly before twelve months after the end of the annual reporting period are measured at the (undiscounted) amounts based on remuneration rates which are expected to be paid when the liability is settled. The expected cost of short‑term employee benefits in the form of compensated absences such as annual leave and accumulated sick leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits. All other short‑term employee benefit obligations are presented as payables in the statement of financial position.

(ii) Long‑term employee benefit obligations The provision for other long‑term employee benefits, including obligations for long service leave and annual leave, which are not expected to be settled wholly before twelve months after the end of the reporting period, are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflow to be made in respect of the services provided by employees up to the reporting date. Expected future payments incorporate anticipated future wage and salary levels, durations of service and employee turnover, and are discounted at rates determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on high quality corporate bonds that have maturity dates that approximate the terms of the obligations. Any remeasurements for changes in assumptions of obligations for other long‑term employee benefits are recognised in profit or loss in the periods in which the change occurs.

Other long‑term employee benefit obligations are presented as current liabilities in the statement of financial position if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur. All other long‑term employee benefit obligations are presented as non‑current liabilities in the statement of financial position.

(h) Borrowing costs Borrowing costs including interest expense calculated using the effective interest method, finance charges in respect of finance leases, and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs.

Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred.

(i) Goods and services tax (GST) Revenues, expenses and purchased assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.

Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

(j) Comparatives Where necessary, comparative information has been reclassified and repositioned for consistency with current year disclosures. NSW Sports Federation Incorporated 22 ABN 40 314 091 302

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF NSW SPORTS FEDERATION INCORPORATED

We have audited the accompanying financial report of NSW Sports Federation Incorporated, which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2016, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in members funds and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the statement by members of the board.

Responsibility of Those Charged with Governance The governing committee are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements and the financial reporting requirements of the Associations Incorporation Act (2009) and for such internal control as the governing committee determines is necessary to enable the preparation and fair presentation of a financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

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. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about 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 judgement, 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 association’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 governing committee, 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.

Independence In conducting our audit, we have complied with APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants.

Opinion In our opinion, the financial report of NSW Sports Federation Incorporated presents fairly, in all material respects, the association’s financial position as at 30 June 2016 and its performance and its cash flows for the year ended on that date in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements and the financial reporting requirements of the Associations Incorporation Act (2009).
