winners, edging out Whitireira, Massey and Otago universities, the judges commented, “Your tono [application] and strategy are so well developed and are underpinned with a strong implementation focus.”

helping build A betteR CommunityThe Waiariki Institute of Technology Charity House Project was officially launched in late 2012. This new five-year initiative in partnership with Rotorua

Chamber of Commerce will see Waiariki’s pre-trade carpentry students build one three-bedroom house per year from start to finish. Local suppliers have signed on to provide necessities such as electrical wiring, kitchen fittings, white ware and

more, and Waiariki interior design students will assist with soft furnishings. The completed re-locatable house will be auctioned off with proceeds going to charity.

We are pleased to present the 2012 annual report of the Council of Waiariki Institute of Technology, Whare Takiura.

achievements in 2012The academic year 2012 was another year of development for Waiariki Institute of Technology, marked in particular by improving course and qualification achievements by all of our students. Course success has continued to improve and in 2012 it reached 77% (up from 50% in 2009 and 72% in 2011), taking the institution to only one percentage point below the median for all ITPs in new Zealand. The year-on-year improvement rates continue to be higher than those of many other ITPs, thus improving Waiariki’s relative performance, although further improvement is still needed to place the institution in its desired position of being above the provisional median for the sector. Qualification achievement now stands at 60%, up from 55% in 2011, and places Waiariki in line with the median score for the sector for the first time. Student retention also continues to improve and at 63% is now just below the sector average.

Further improvement of educational performance remains a primary goal for Waiariki and, in particular, the improvement of the course and qualification completion of Māori learners. Māori students comprised some 57% of government funded students and while there has been a year-on-year improvement in Māori success, a gap of some 12% remains between that of Māori students and all other learners. Waiariki remains committed to supporting Māori learners to achieve at the same levels as all other learners; this is a primary focus for the Council and Te Mana Mātauranga.

Waiariki is committed to recruiting and supporting the needs of a wide student body and to provide life chances through education for all those who have the capacity to benefit. The proportion of young people in the student body continues to increase, reaching 53% in 2012, compared to 50% in 2011. at a time of high youth unemployment Waiariki is committed to meeting the government’s Tertiary Education Strategy 2010-15 aim of increasing youth participation in higher level learning and ensuring that young people in the Waiariki rohe have the opportunity to engage in tertiary education. Youth engagement and participation is supported by a

number of key initiatives including Youth guarantee, the Eastern Bay of Plenty Trades academy and financial support for school leavers. Youth guarantee results dramatically improved in 2012 with successful course completion by young people rising from 55% to 71%, providing Waiariki with a strong base from which to seek additional enrolments in this area. Youth guarantee work will be supported through the development of the new Certificate in Vocational Skills developed in 2012, and which will be offered for the first time in 2013, combining literacy, numeracy and study skills with introductions to a number of vocational programme pathways.

The Eastern Bay of Plenty Trades academy (EBoPTa), a collaboration between Waiariki and ten high schools (led by Trident High School in Whakatane) in the Eastern Bay completed its first full two-year cycle in 2012 with great success. The first students graduated from the programme and 90% achieved nCEa Level 2. 84% achieved a Waiariki qualification and/or a national certificate as well, across eight subject areas. The first awards ceremony was held in Whakatane in november – attended by a large number of students and whanau – providing recognition of the considerable achievement by young people, many of whom are progressing on to further study and/or employment. The year 2012 also saw the successful bid for the extension of the Trades academy model to rotorua and Waiariki looks forward to building on the 2012 success as this initiative is rolled out more widely in the region.

as well as focusing on youth, Waiariki continues to serve the needs of adults and the community in the region through a significant number of employees undertaking and completing part-time study and the development of strong partnerships with employing organisations in the region.

a key element in serving regional economic and social needs has been the continued diversification of the portfolio of courses and qualifications offered by Waiariki both in subject and level. Waiariki has, in line with the Tertiary Education Strategy, continued to shift the level of provision to offer a larger number programmes at Level 4 and above and in 2012, 71% of all EFTS were enrolled in qualifications at Level 4 and above, up from 69% in 2011. Both the level and subject area of provision are in response to the needs of the regional economy and new programmes were developed in introductory vocational skills, electrical and related trades, health and rehabilitation, beauty therapy and two new degrees: Bachelor of Teaching Early Childhood Education and Bachelor of Teaching Early Childhood Education (Te reo Maori).

The year also saw commencement of the development of new programmes at graduate and postgraduate diploma levels in the areas of health studies, resource management and applied management with these programmes planned to be offered from the 2013 academic year. The Targeted review of Qualifications (TroQ) continued in 2012 and has restricted new qualification development up to Level 6, but has, at the same time, led to some collaborative developments including but not limited to: with Tai Poutini Polytechnic in the area of contemporary music performance; and with Wellington Institute of Technology (WelTec), the Diploma in Beauty Therapy being offered for the first time in 2013, which involved Waiariki developing programmes in beautician services and beauty therapy that meet the same outcomes as existing WelTec qualifications. The modification of qualifications as a result of the TroQ has undoubtedly strengthened many of the programmes offered by Waiariki through an ongoing process of curriculum review and redevelopment.

The financial performance of the institution continues to be healthy with a surplus of some $1.8m in 2012. While lower than that achieved in 2011, this is due to much needed investment in both additional learning support staff to promote the strategy of raising students’ success and subject staff to support new programme developments. Waiariki will, however, be undertaking a staffing review in 2013 to ensure that personnel costs are managed in line with emerging strategic priorities and investment in new areas. It is important for Waiariki to continue to produce surpluses to support the ongoing programme of campus upgrading and renewal.

In 2012 the programme of campus development and upgrading of facilities continued with the opening of the new Te Tāhūhūroa o Ihenga building in april. This new facility has substantially improved teaching and learning facilities for the benefit across Waiariki and has provided much needed flexible learning space for students and the external community with a wide range of events involving external stakeholders being hosted there. Cash reserves also remain strong at $14.5 million in 2012 providing the capital needed to continue to progress with new campus development including the new nursing building on which construction is due to commence in July 2013, and planned enhancements to the institution's network of regional campuses. achieving a continuing healthy financial situation is dependent both on prudent financial management and on maintaining a high level of full cost recovery and full-fee paying international students.

Changes and Challenges in 2012a number of organisation changes impacted on Waiariki in 2012 following the departure of the previous Chief Executive towards the end of the 2011 academic year. The year 2012 saw a period of nine months of acting Chief Executives pending the appointment and arrival of the new Chief Executive in october 2012. This also reflected through the rest of the organisation with a number of senior management positions covered in an acting capacity. a new Investment Plan for 2013 was commenced in the second half of 2012 and approved at the end of the academic year setting out a number of new priorities for the institution. The last quarter of 2012 saw the commencement of a period of review and new developments with work starting on a new strategic plan, the adoption of the Student Lifecycle as the organising framework for much Waiariki activity, and an enhanced focus on partnership and collaborative activity. The decision by the government to introduce a contestable process for level 1 and 2 funding during the 2012 academic year has an inevitable impact as Waiariki, together with many other ITPs, was unsuccessful in its bid for places with the result that level 1 and 2 provision will be reduced by some one third in 2013. This development has, however, led to a renewed focus on partnerships and the building of learning and progression pathways and Waiariki intends to build on initial developments in this area in 2013.

During 2012 there was a renewed focus on partnership development, particularly in the Bay of Plenty region. The collaborative project with the Bay of Plenty Polytechnic, funded by the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC), was completed in 2012 and has undoubtedly increased knowledge and understanding of each institution’s provision and has accelerated collaborative dialogue and activity at all levels from the governance and senior management level to that of teaching and support staff. The focus has been on identifying possible efficiency, productivity and quality gains and sharing of effective practice. The formal report will be


submitted to the TEC in February 2013. Dialogue with other tertiary providers in the region has continued to develop, in particular through the Bay of Plenty Tertiary Partnership which involves university and wānanga participants. Waiariki is actively considering the benefits of this relationship with the expectation that it will formally join the partnership in 2013.

a number of projects and initiatives focused on business improvements has also been initiated and further developed in 2012. The new ebs4 Student Management System, designed and delivered by the uK-based Tribal organisation and first adopted by Waiariki in new Zealand, is now being adopted by a growing number of ITPs and considerable dialogue has taken place in 2012 on further developing the capability of this system for the benefit of Waiariki students and staff. The sharing of experience with other ITPs has been an important part of this process. The development of, and migration to, a new student management system is a complex task and this work stream impacted on all parts of Waiariki business and will be ongoing in 2013. Towards the end of 2012 the decision has been taken to undertake further investment in ebs4 to ensure that this system is fully functioning across a range of systems and processes by the end of the 2013 academic year.

reviews were also undertaken in three business crucial areas of Business Process Improvement, online Strategy and Management, and International activity. as a result of these a number of projects and initiatives have been implemented which are likely to have considerable positive impact on Waiariki in the new academic year.

During the last quarter of 2012 development started on a new Strategic Plan for the period 2013-2017, building on the work of the previous plan and the focus on youth transition, sustainability, international education and high quality provision, and the vision of being a leading institute of technology with a distinctive bicultural focus. active dialogue between the Council, the institution’s Māori governance body Te Mana Mātauranga (TMM), staff and external stakeholders has been important in shaping the future development and desired outcomes for Waiariki over the next five years. The contribution that TMM can make is of critical importance in terms of Waiariki and its future success in meeting the needs of the Waiariki rohe and in assuring the success of Māori learners. Dialogue and discussion on strategic planning saw an improvement in the level of integration between the Investment Plan and Waiariki’s Strategic Pan and articulation with regional strategy and the Māori Potential Framework.

International activity continued to grow in 2012 with Waiariki delivering to 806 EFTS from more than 27 countries. Future retention of numbers is likely to be effected by the cessation of the Bachelor of nursing for registered nurses programme and the nZQa review. Following the review of International activity the decision was taken to appoint a new International Education Director and to develop a new internationalisation strategy for the institution with work on this area commencing in the last two months of the academic year. a key part of international activity is to consider a more integrated approach and a diversification of the programmes and countries from which international students are recruited. The growth in the institution’s international work addresses the government's aims of doubling the value of export education over the next ten years; Waiariki, however, acknowledges both the financial importance and risks associated with international activity.

• Purchase of the lease of the rotorua Thermal Holiday Park adjacent to Mokoia Campus, with the aim of providing student accommodation and recreation opportunities

the outlook for 2013The year 2013 promises to be a challenging year but also a year of opportunities. Waiariki faces a number of risks through changes in funding allocations and changes to immigration policy by Immigration new Zealand which may have some negative impact on the institution’s ability to support foundation learning and on the eligibility of many current international students. These policy changes, however, also offer opportunities through encouraging a greater focus on partnership and collaboration and the growth of export and offshore education. Waiariki will continue to work positively with other tertiary providers and with Immigration new Zealand to ensure that policy shifts are responded to positively.


Graeme Nahkies Aubrey Kohunui Professor Margaret Noble

Council Chairperson TMM Chairperson Chief Executive

Waiariki has been successful in growing trades provision to support the Canterbury reconstruction Skills Project and will continue to work closely with other providers and stakeholder groups in order to achieve the best result for the country. Waiariki remains strongly committed to increasing trade training provision in the region and in particular to raise Māori success through trade training opportunities for Māori students.

Continuing to prioritise foundation learning and ensuring that students have the right skills and competences to benefit from tertiary education will be a priority to ensure that successful progression into higher level education and subsequent employment is a reality for many young people. new partnerships with schools and other education providers will thus be prioritised in 2013 along with the embedding of numeracy and literacy education in every Waiariki qualification up to Level 3. Effective youth transition (including through both the Trades academy and Youth guarantee schemes) is vital in order that progression to tertiary education is available to the regional and local community. a new emphasis will be placed on recruiting and enrolling with integrity, ensuring that students receive appropriate levels of advice and guidance to support personal and career aspirations and likelihood of study success.

The new strategic plan places emphasis on both student success and in ensuring that the institution supports economic and social development in the region and nationally. The institution has a

strong commitment to working with iwi, industry, and both local and national governments to ensure that its academic portfolio is aligned with regional priorities and needs. The delivery of the new Investment Plan and the approval and delivery of the new Strategic Plan, together with an emphasis on learning success and improved outcomes for all students, will be a principal focus in the coming year.

acknowledgementsThe year 2012 saw a number of senior staff take on acting positions prior to the appointment of a new Chief Executive. The Council expresses its sincere thanks to all management and staff of Waiariki for their ongoing performance in this period of transition. The Council is very pleased to welcome Professor Margaret noble as the new Chief Executive. She comes to Waiariki with considerable credibility as an educationalist and with extensive management experience in tertiary education.

It is with sadness that we acknowledge the passing of rawiri Te Whare, member of Council and of Te Mana Mātauranga and a former member of Waiariki teaching staff. rawiri Te Whare’s contribution to the governance of Waiariki through his wise counsel and insightful perspectives will be greatly missed.

I sit nestled in the awe of my sacred house, Īhenga. I look down at the glistening rays upon the great lake of Kahumatamōmoe. I arrive at the sacred island of Tinirau that is covered with the kawakawa trees. I rush towards the Ōhau channel and through to Lake rotoiti named by my ancestor Īhenga, until my arrival to the freshwater fish at Ōkere Falls. I descend the foaming waters of the Kaituna river, arriving at Te akeake, to the mouth of the river that joins the sea, traditionally known as the bridge of Tamatekapua’s nose at Maketū.

To the many distinguished great speakers, respected knowledgeable descendants of the many canoes, here and abroad, who nurture tertiary education beneath the shelter of the polytechnics and

institutes of technology throughout āotearoa new Zealand, our thoughts continue to remember those loved ones who have gone from this world a long time ago, to those who have recently left us during the year just passed.

People continue to disappear from this world, but the land still remains

although the mountains are there in their splendour, the rivers continue to flow and the ripples on the lakes continue to shine, your splendid work in this world is completed. This phrase is in reference to rāwiri Te Whare, a member of Waiariki’s Council, a member of Te Mana Mātauranga, the Māori governance body at Waiariki. an elderly leader who exhausted all his thoughts and wishes as a member of Waiariki’s dual governance bodies and his leadership to encourage the government to listen most carefully with their own ears and to return the resources that were taken many years ago to Te ārawa. rāwiri had seen that milestone take place and he has now gone to his ancestors. Farewell rāwiri.

Therefore to the multitudes, the journey to success for students at Waiariki continues. The mission statement and vision is still there. Waiariki is still a leading institute of technology, and the strength to be distinctively bicultural is still present today. My observation in 2012 has seen the increase in the close relationship between Waiariki and secondary schools within the Waiariki region. This includes a huge increase in youth and secondary school leavers wishing to enter tertiary studies at Waiariki, wonderful news.

Therefore I will finish there with the following proverb:

The bird that eats the miro berries, the forest belongs to that bird. The bird that eats education, the world belongs to that bird.

Duties of Council Membersunder the Education (Polytechnics) amendment act 2009 members of polytechnic councils have a duty to act:

• with honesty and integrity; • in the interests of the polytechnic as a whole; • in a manner that promotes the performance of the functions

characteristic of a polytechnic, and the duties of the council; and

• in good faith, not pursuing his or her own interests at the expense of the council’s interests.

Further, members must also exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonable person would exercise in the same circumstances.

Honouring the provisions of the treaty of Waitangi and engagement with iwi communitiesThe spirit of biculturalism is central to the governance of Waiariki. The Council is required by section 181 of the Education act 1989 to acknowledge the Principles of the Treaty of Waitangi in the performance of its functions and the exercises of its powers. In addition, section 171 of the Education act 1989 requires the Council when appointing members to have regard to the desirability that the Council should reflect, so far as is reasonably practicable, the ethnic and socio-economic diversity of the communities served. These requirements, generally, are implemented through the Tanagata Whenua Deed of agreement with Te Mana Mātauranga.

Te Mana Māturanga o Waiariki (TMM) is a Charitable Trust established pursuant to the Charitable Trusts act to represent the iwi and hapu having tangata whenua status in the various areas serviced by Waiariki. The Tanagata Whenua Deed of agreement originally signed in november 2000, recognises Te Mana Mātauranga as Waiariki’s iwi tertiary education authority as per section 182 of the Education act 1989 which requires the Council to consult any body established within Waiariki that has responsibility for giving advice and giving effect to the policy of Waiariki with respect to that matter. The Tangata Whenua Deed of agreement also provides a formal basis for Waiariki’s commitment to the Principles of the Treaty of Waitangi and to biculturalism in governance.

The Council has an ongoing relationship with Te Mana Mātauranga including formal joint meetings held quarterly and a joint liaison committee of the chairs and deputy chairs of both bodies.

Council MeetingsThe Council primarily conducts its business via regular monthly meetings. The agenda for Council meetings is driven off a 12-month work programme of agreed priorities to ensure that the Council’s attention is focused on matters of governance substance. Each Council member is also a member of at least one standing committee. Council members are also expected to attend joint Council/Te Mana Mātauranga meetings and other special meetings as agreed by the Council. Council members also routinely attend special events in the life of the institution.

attendance of Council members at formally convened Council and Committee meetings during 2012 is shown in the following table.

During 2012 the Council conducted two of its meetings at its campuses outside rotorua and one of its meetings at Bay of Plenty Polytechnic to take the opportunity to combine Council meetings with meetings with stakeholder representatives in each of those communities.

Council policiesTo a significant extent, governance effectiveness and efficiency is dependent on the clarity of the Council’s policy leadership. a comprehensive policy framework has been developed and documented that both shapes and gives clarity to the governance function and frames the substantive work of the institution.

as a Crown entity the Council has paid particular attention to the way in which it manages conflicts of interest. In this regard, the Council has adopted the guidelines of the Tertiary advisory Monitoring unit (31 January 2011). The guidelines provide definition and explanation of types of possible conflict of interest and processes for their management.

Division of responsibility between Council and Management Council policies and processes aim to ensure there is an effective and complementary collaboration between the governance and management of Waiariki. The Council determines the overall strategic direction and has the ultimate responsibility for all the affairs of the institution but has delegated authority for most aspects of the operational management of the institution and its day-to-day direction to the Chief Executive. The Chief Executive also has statutory responsibility for the employment of other staff.

apart from policy direction and the formal delegation of authority, the Council, through the Chief Executive Employment Committee, sets annual performance expectations for the Chief Executive. These are also used as the basis for determining the performance-related component of the Chief Executive’s remuneration which is a requirement of the State Services Commission (SSC). under the State Sector act 1998, any changes to the terms and conditions of the Chief Executive’s employment must be agreed with the SSC.

Council Members’ remuneration Council members’ annual fees are approved by Council resolution and must lie within maxima determined by the Minister. Current fees (approved on 28 June 2010) are:

Council Chairperson $28,800 per annumCouncil Deputy Chair $18,000 per annumCouncillors $14,400 per annum

In addition, councillors are reimbursed for travel and other approved and receipted expenses.

Developing the Council’s performanceThe Council is committed to continuous improvement in its governance performance. To this end it undertakes an annual self-assessment of its efficiency and effectiveness. The views of Council members and senior staff who regularly engage with the Council are surveyed on a confidential basis and the collated results are discussed by the Council and an action plan agreed.

The Council has a Continuing Professional Development Policy and associated budget for both group and individual professional development. Council members are encouraged to attend relevant sector conferences and to take advantage of governance-professional development opportunities, particularly those directly relevant to the sector. The Council’s annual work planning process also seeks opportunities for Council members to gain a broader and deeper understanding of trends and issues directly related to their responsibilities.

Council CommitteesThe Council has two committees: the audit and risk Committee and the Chief Executive Employment Committee. Each member of the Council sits on one or the other of these committees.

In addition, ad hoc committees of the Council may be set up from time to time to meet the needs of its activities and the membership of such Committees is determined by Council appointment.

as required by statute, the Council is advised by the academic Board. The academic Board is composed of senior management and academic staff and oversees academic matters at Waiariki.

Audit and Risk Committee:

The primary purpose of the audit and risk Committee is to assist the Council in fulfilling its responsibilities relating to the financial and educational performance risk-reporting practices managed by the Chief Executive through delegated authorities. In addition, the audit and risk Committee:

• Discharges its responsibilities in a way that acknowledges that the Chief Executive is delegated the role of internal auditor from appointment, except in the situation where the audit and risk Committee determines that the Chief Executive appears to be compromised as an internal auditor;

• Evaluates the quality of audits conducted both by internal and external auditors;

• Maintains, by scheduling regular meetings, open lines of communication among the Council, the internal auditors (including the Chief Executive) and external auditors to exchange views and information, as well as confirm their respective authority and responsibilities;

• Monitors financial and academic risk, and ensures that appropriate strategies are in place to minimise these risks;

• Serves as an independent and objective party to review the annual financial and educational information presented by management to Council, government and the general public;

• Evaluates the adequacy of administrative, operating and accounting controls, taking into account the advice of internal and external auditors; and

• undertakes specific risk-related investigations as requested by the Council.

Chief Executive Employment Committee:

The function of this committee is to assist the Council to ensure that there is an effective and positive partnership between the Council and the Chief Executive. This committee maintains an oversight of the Chief Executive Employment agreement and Performance and acts on behalf of the Council in the appointment of the Chief Executive. This Committee also reviews the Chief Executive’s remuneration and recommends to the Council adjustments to base salary and payment of performance components of remuneration as appropriate. In some cases these recommendations are also subject to consultation with the SSC.

Waiariki aims to provide tertiary learning opportunities for each of these centres.

The region is characterised by a population with increasing:

• levels of literacy and numeracy which has led to increased productivity;

4. Maintain viability by effectively rationalising and expanding Waiariki’s financial base and by creating a transparent and responsive structure within which Waiariki’s core activities of education and training will continue to develop.

In keeping with the diversity and commitment to biculturalism that makes Waiariki distinctive, an international student was selected to join the other two valedictorians for the first time at this year’s graduation day celebrations.

Valedictorians are annually selected by a committee which includes the Chief Executive, following nominations that pay tribute to the excellent academic efforts and wider contribution during their time at Waiariki. With more than 800 international students enrolled during 2012, the selection of professional cookery graduate Mark Solon of the Philippines added a further dimension this year.

Mark and Katie o’neill had the honour of addressing about 4,000 people gathered at rotorua’s Energy Events Centre during the formal ceremony while Waiarangi Whata spoke during the earlier morning pohiri and farewell at Tangatarua Marae which marks the beginning of Waiariki’s big day.

Waiarangi Whata Bachelor of Māori Development with majors in Resource Management and Communications

Wairangi Whata is well on the way to helping her whanau after successfully juggling three children with her studies to graduate with a Bachelor of Māori Development with majors in resource Management and Communications.

Wairangi wanted to do her part for ngati Pikiao and her children, and considered her qualification a stepping stone to doing what she enjoys and is good at.

Humbled and honoured to have been given the opportunity to address a diverse group of graduands who had travelled a similarily arduous road, Wairangi paid homage to others during her valedictorian speech.

“Throughout this voyage we have endured the love and support of our family, friends and the professional staff here at Waiariki; they have given us the strength and drive which allow us to celebrate this momentous accomplishment,” she said.

Katie o’neill Bachelor of Tourism Management, Waiariki Academy of Sport

It was pretty easy to see why Katie o’neill was chosen as a valedictorian as she seemed to leave her mountain bike's "tyre marks" on everything in 2012.

Becoming a Waiariki academy of Sport athlete allowed her to relocate from auckland so she could train on the famous

rotorua trails and study at Waiariki – with stunning results.

Katie personified what the sports academy stands for, achieving in sport and academically as she achieved 13 a+ results and six

other a's and a single B in her studies as she successfully balanced academia with her competitive mountain biking pursuits.

The former new Zealand under-23 cross country champion managed overseas campaigns to australia, Europe and Canada in amongst her studies, which even included World Cup and Championship races in Canberra and Switzerland.

Mark solonDiploma in Patisserie and Bakery

Mark Solon’s father would be mightily proud of him.

The 30-year-old Filipino became the first ever Waiariki international valedictorian and absolutely cherished the moment when he addressed his fellow graduands, tutors, family and friends at the graduation awards ceremony.

“I am already a proud graduate of Diploma in Patisserie and Bakery from this school, Waiariki Institute of Technology, and giving this speech to you now makes me even more proud because it means a great achievement.”

Mark came to rotorua just over a year ago. The former seafarer and Chef de Partie had just lost his father who lived in america. Mark decided he wanted to always be there for his family and new Zealand offered the opportunity for study and work.

He arrived with 34 other Filipinos and due to his age and experience became the "father away from home" for many while his own family arrived just in time for his graduation.

Mark is currently working at urbano Bistro in rotorua.

other graduation awardsExcellence and achievement were further recognised during Waiariki’s 2013 formal graduation awards Ceremony at rotorua’s Energy Events Centre.

Four Waiariki graduates were selected from their peers to receive awards in hospitality management, journalism, nursing and health and iwi development.

• Kristal Heta received the top student in Year 2 of the Diploma in Hospitality Management award sponsored by Skyline, Rotorua.

• Keri Manuel secured the Toni Purchase award for overall top achieving student in Year 3 of the Bachelor of nursing who has shown exemplary resilience and commitment in the face of adversity to achieve their goal.

• Wairangi Whata received the Te Wānaga a Ihenga award for Excellence in Iwi Development.

• alan Solomon aspiring broadcaster and journalist earned The Daily Post award (scholarship) as student journalist of the year.

Waiariki is committed to educational collaboration through thriving partnerships with other quality providers which maximise pathway opportunities and benefits for students, enable sharing of educational resources within the region and across regional and international boundaries.

In 2012 the institution engaged in a number of partnerships which included:

bay of plenty polytechnicWaiariki undertook a TEC-funded project to assess the potential for the Bay of Plenty Polytechnic and Waiariki Institute of Technology to work more closely together through developing greater understanding of each others’ provision, exploring the potential of sharing ideas and expertise in learning technologies and support systems and building confidence in working together. The emphasis was on identifying potential collaborative projects and initiatives that would add value and increase the level of participation in tertiary education in the Bay of Plenty region. Priority areas of emphasis for the Bay of Plenty included:

• the raising of success for Maori and Pasifika students to ensure that course and qualification completion were equal to that for all other learners;

• how to work with those not in education, employment or training (nEETs), to encourage progression onto the tertiary learning ladder; and

• how to release the clear latent demand in a region where participation rates both by young people and adults in tertiary education are below the national average.

The project is due to report in February 2013.

regional progressionWaiariki continued to develop progression links though offering locally available courses and programmes in partnership with iwi education trusts and PTEs. In 2012 more than 50 students studied a Level 3 agriculture and farm maintenance certificate, Diploma Te reo Māori Level 5 and Level 7 Bachelor of Māori Development through Te Whare aronui o Tuwharetoa, Turangi. The Level 2 Certificate in Vocational Skills and Level 3 Certificate in Māori Studies have also been included in 2013 delivery. More than 30 students are currently completing the Diploma in Te reo Māori part-time through the Huria Management Trust in Tauranga. Completion of this qualification is scheduled for the end of 2013.

International partnershipsChina

Partnerships with a number of Chinese institutions were further strengthened in 2012 through staff exchanges and teaching assistance provided by Waiariki to Quindao Technical Institute, Beijing College of Finance and Communication, Beijing Institute of graphic Communication and nanjing Institute. English language and academic staff from Waiariki visited each institution and provided teaching and advice to students intending to progress to study at Waiariki as part of partnership arrangements. a new partnership agreement was also signed with Heilongjiang Institute of Technology in Harbin following a visit by the Chief Executive.

India

The number of Indian students studying at Waiariki numbered more than 500 in 2012 and Waiariki continues to be an institution of choice for many students from India. Waiariki was part of the government delegation to India in october 2012 and during the visit signed a new memorandum of understanding with Punjab Technical university to develop new collaborative programmes in business, tourism and hospitability.

The Eastern Bay of Plenty Trades academy, approved by the Minister of Education as mandated by the amendments to the Education act, was officially opened by the then Minister of Education Hon anne Tolley in February 2011.

Trident High School in Whakatane is the lead secondary school and Waiariki Institute of Technology is the lead tertiary partner. The curriculum for the trades academy covered nine subject areas and was delivered from the Whakatane campus.

For the year 2012, the Minister approved 210 places for a two-year programme and Waiariki received enrolments from the 10 secondary schools within the Eastern Bay of Plenty.

The trades academy demographic breakdown reflected the Eastern Bay of Plenty region: 81% Māori, 15% Pakeha, 2% Pacific and 2% other.

The MoE has again approved 210 places for nine programme areas and 10 secondary schools for 2013, as well as an additional 65 places for the Eastern Bay of Plenty Trades academy to establish a rotorua trades academy hub for 2013.

The year 2012 marked the end of the first two years and saw 69 trades academy students graduate from the programme. This important landmark was celebrated by roughly 250 students and whanau at the end-of-year prize giving.

The academy has made a significant difference to a large number of Eastern Bay of Plenty senior secondary students. Their schools have recorded improvements in the rates of student retention at their secondary school until the end of Year 13, achieving nCEa Level 2, having confidence to transition to full-time tertiary study and securing apprenticeships and/or employment.

Success is also represented in the following outcomes:

• 60% of the 2011 Year 1 student cohort returned in 2012 to complete their nCEa Level 2 and the Waiariki qualification they had commenced in 2011; MoE requires 60% retention into Year 2

• 62 Year 2 students were eligible to complete the balance of their Waiariki qualification (including the embedded national certificate) in 2012

• 52 students, or 84%, completed and achieved either their Waiariki Level 2 or Level 3 qualification and the embedded national certificate or the embedded national certificate

• 90% of the Year 2 cohort achieved nCEa Level 2 over the two years; the MoE target was 80% and the Better government goals seek to achieve nCEa Level 2 at an 85% level

• 85% of the original February 2011 enrolling students achieved nCEa Level 2 either as trades academy students or as full-time tertiary students in 2012

• of the students who left the academy programme in December 2011 and enrolled at Waiariki as full-time students in 2012, 100% achieved their Waiariki qualification, adding justification to the value of a secondary-tertiary programme as a positive transition pathway to full-time study and success

• Exactly half of the 2012 Year 1 student intake had not achieved nCEa Level 1 (including the literacy and numeracy requirement) at the February date. By the conclusion of 2012, 71% of the Year 1 cohort had achieved nCEa Level 2

Waiariki is committed to the provision of high level support and equal educational opportunities for all students. a wide range of centralised support services are available in addition to the day-to-day support given by lecturers in the classroom. In 2012 the organisation doubled the size of its learning advisor team to ensure additional support to those students most at need.

equal educational opportunitiesThe commitment to student support and Equal Educational opportunities (EEdo) is evidenced through enabling equitable educational access, appropriate support services and facilities for all students. Waiariki encourages the greatest possible participation by its community by ensuring that there are no barriers that could cause under-representation. This is reflected in the demographic composition of the student body with 57% of government funded learners being Māori and 7% Pasifika in 2012. The institution aims to lift success rates, especially among learners who may have left school, with few or no qualifications; an example of this has been the Eastern Bay of Plenty Trades academy initiative with Trident High School where 80% of students were Māori and 90% of year two students achieved nCEa Level 2.

a First Impressions Survey is conducted annually to gauge students’ impressions of the services and support they received in their first four weeks of term. This survey gives indicators of satisfaction with services at an early stage enabling Waiariki to respond to any concerns and to enhance the student experience while the students are still studying.

Support for students is provided through a number of services which are included in the following areas.

Disability CoordinationWaiariki fosters the development of a learning environment that supports the needs of students with disabilities, with a view to enhancing equity of access to education. This is achieved through:

• a multidisciplinary health and counselling team, occupational health nurse, doctor, counsellor, learning support staff, all facilitated by the disability coordinator with 71 support contacts being made during 2012.

• Kia Ōrite, achieving Equity – a Code of Practice assessment is undertaken of Waiariki’s current position against the Kia Ōrite best practice standards and an ongoing action plan is in place.

• The disability support team takes part in student orientation and there is promotion of disability support services to all Waiariki staff and students through induction, student and staff handbooks and through school administrators.

• a proactive relationship with relevant community agencies to maximise students’ opportunities for volunteering.

• In 2012 the disability coordinator and learning advisors built strong relationships with each other in attempt to provide more streamlined support for students.

adult assessment toolall Waiariki Levels 1-3 and embedded Level 4 literacy and numeracy programmes must use the adult assessment Tool for pre- and post-assessment. The adult assessment Tool assesses students’ strengths and needs in order that tutors can develop learning and teaching strategies that meet these, and raise success for students. TEC funding for implementation of the adult assessment Tool ceased at the end of 2012 with the expectation that it would become ‘business as usual’ in 2013. a comprehensive roll-out plan was implemented by ngā akaaka Literacy and numeracy Projects team to ensure that a collaborative effort led by school directors working with heads of departments, administrators, tutors, learning advisors and academic advisors was set up to ensure successful roll-out of the adult assessment Tool in 2013. redevelopment and alignment of student data uploads from EBS4 and the adult assessment Tool database has been essential in ensuring effective set up for student assessments.

Funding for the embedding of literacy and numeracy into programmes also ceased in 2012 and became business as usual for Waiariki. The Certificate in Embedding Literacy and numeracy was introduced in 2011. This is a one-year programme which provides theory and practical strategies for the embedding of literacy and numeracy into teaching and learning. The certificate includes historical and current issues and trends in literacy and numeracy, embedding strategies, using the adult assessment Tool and resource development. Two programmes have been completed. The MoE and TEC have indicated that all Level 1-3 tutors must be working towards or have a literacy and numeracy qualification, and all Waiariki tutors at these levels, and others, are encouraged to complete the programme if they have not already done so.

Health and Financial assistanceThe diverse needs of students are also met through health and counseling services. an effective healthy learning environment is promoted and encouraged with the assistance of the occupational health nurse who also provides a comprehensive range of health services, including preventative health initiatives. Services are well promoted and accessible. Counselling services are contracted in so students can see counsellors at times convenient to them and there are no waiting lists.

non-FInanCIaL stateMentsnga rIpoata Kore putea


During 2012 the occupational health nurse provided 2,453 consultations, doctors provided 378 consultations and counsellors held 169 individual consultations.

Financial assistance is also provided to students who meet eligibility criteria through the institution’s Student Emergency Fund; during 2012, 83 students (a slight increase on 2011) benefited from the Emergency Fund. Students can also independently access the services of a budget advisor and are often referred to this service as a result of an Emergency Fund application.

Information and guidanceStudent administrators, supported by tutors, provide guidance and support for enrolment. an 0800 telephone number provides free access and signposts to the provision of pastoral care and even to professional help if required. Students can use their mobile phones to text Txt-4-Info at Waiariki for assistance; this has proven to be a valued contact media.

The website is continually updated and during 2012 the ongoing programme of enhancing information available to students through the website has continued. Including, for example, through both online course and timetabling information. The use of Waiariki social networking has provided a more informal information-sharing avenue between students and staff.

Marketing information has been updated as a result of feedback from students, and new subject and information brochures have been created as a result of their popularity with students. at the end of 2012 plans were put in place for a new Student Information and advice Centre for 2013 and the feedback anticipated from this centre will be important in informing future advice, guidance and marketing of courses and programmes.

International student supportWaiariki is a signatory to the Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students and ensures that it keeps up to date with requirements.

a close dialogue is maintained between Waiariki schools and Waiariki's international team through regular progress updates on international students from academic staff in order to identify where early assistance may be required. The truly international flavour of the international team, with international advisors speaking 13 languages between them, ensures that comprehensive support is available. The international events programme further developed in 2012 to promote and celebrate many significant cultural events during the year including Diwali and the Chinese Moon Festival. Such events cover a number of ethnic groups and are enjoyed by students, staff and visitors.

We have a very high success rate of international students completing their qualification each year. In 2012, the success rate was 94.7%.

The Buddy Programme, where one international student is paired with a domestic student, has proved successful with 100 pairs of students working together during the year with participant numbers having trebled since 2009. The aims are to introduce international students to new Zealand culture, create a study partner, increase participation into the community and its social scenes, and create long-lasting friendships in a global environment. This scheme supports government’s International Education agenda.

Learner support The expansion of the learning advisor team in 2012 recognised Waiariki’s level of commitment to supporting student success and retention. Four learning advisors are located in the regional campuses, one in each of the six schools of learning at rotorua and there are three central library based advisors. Learning advisors work as a team to develop a strategic and cohesive approach to addressing student learning needs; this is strengthened by an ongoing partnership with tutorial staff. Learning advisors prioritise their time to target specific courses where student retention and success rates are lower than desirable or where groups of students require additional support to ensure their success. regular meetings with tutorial staff are used to identify appropriate support mechanisms. The learning advisor team shares resources, expertise, and knowledge across all campuses to provide a focused set of support services to Waiariki students.

During 2012, learning advisors provided nearly 4,000 hours of group and individual support to assist students in developing effective study skills and to help them prepare for assessments. The learning advisor team also trialled the Peer ako programme; this initiative provides an opportunity for successful students to access specialised training so they can act as learning and study support facilitators for their peers. The Peer ako programme was well received in 2012 and will continue into 2013.

academic staff DevelopmentWaiariki is committed to staff development both through ensuring that staff new to teaching have an appropriate level of knowledge and understating of contemporary approaches to tertiary teaching and through ongoing support for professional development. In 2012 80 staff studied towards the Certificate in Tertiary Teaching as part of their professional development plan.

a new induction process was also established in 2012 which involved identification, through observation, of the teaching skills new tutors came with. Following on from this each tutor developed a plan based on a standardised teaching template which identified good, very good and excellent teaching practice. a peer observation process for tutorial staff was also instigated which used trained peer observers to support critical reflection leading to improvement.

The annual Quality Teaching Conference for tutorial staff again ran very successfully in 2012. The keynote speakers were extremely well received and challenged staff to keep ahead of innovative educational practices. Staff also presented workshops which included looking at what they were doing in the classroom as well as research projects which had been completed.


Monthly lunchtime workshops were also held which considered critical issues in tertiary education.

Staff capability was further enhanced through the implementation of the BlendEd strategy with a 21% increase in BlendEd delivery from 2011 to 2012.

te Wairere Learning resource Centre (LrC)The LrC offers effective support services to all students and staff to provide an information and learning environment that enhances effective teaching and learning.

The LrC opening hours in 2012 were extended during busy times by making use of casual staff in a cost-effective way. a new LrC Management System, Liberty 5, was approved and the trial run was successfully completed in 2012.

The LrC is developing the learning space and facilities to be more conducive to teaching and learning. The current space is proving popular with students for group and individual study, computer use, socialising and meetings.

Initiatives for 2012 included working in close collaboration with tutorial staff to provide relevant resources (print as well as electronic) and to align the collection to the curriculum. as a result of this effective liaison, the LrC acquired three new databases namely, Health and Life Sciences, Emerald Education Plus and Sage Education. The LrC was also actively involved in the accreditation of new and existing qualifications and in the development of new qualifications. The LrC and three other ITPs across the Midland Health region have successfully worked with the DHB libraries on a shared project to support nursing students in the information resources they will use when registered.

Emphasis was placed on developing individuals as life-long learners and to achieve that, timely group and individual information literacy sessions were provided. The effectiveness of those sessions was indicated by the increase in usage of electronic and print resources. In 2012 the LrC issued 4,963 more items compared to the previous year.

The LrC supported Waiariki students from different nationalities by taking part in their festivities and organising fun activities. The LrC won the institution-wide Diwali display competition.

The LrC staff attended the rotorua Careers Expo, running a stand and showcasing the support it provides.

The LrC is represented on and contributes to the academic School Committee, the Waiariki research Committee, the Waiariki Internal Evaluation Team, Library and Information association of new Zealand aotearoa and the Institute of Technology and Polytechnics of new Zealand Library Managers’ Forum.

Waiariki Institute of technology students’ association (WItsa)Waiariki entered a contract for service with WITSa in 2012 reflecting a desire to work closely with WITSa to ensure the betterment of students’ experiences at Waiariki. Services included student advocacy, a buddy system for international students, organising orientation and social events to enhance campus life and support for student hardship, health and welfare services. In late 2012 Waiariki engaged nZuSa to assist in a review of this partnership with WITSa and the development of a contract for the provision of services for 2013. Some of these services were paid for out of the student amenities levy.

Workplace Literacy programme In 2012, Workplace Literacy upskilling programmes were delivered to 14 businesses in the areas of health, retail, iwi social services, tourism, education, hospitality, paint industry and local council. 4,847 teaching hours were delivered to 232 employees/learners in programmes designed to raise knowledge and skills in customer services, effective written and oral communication, te reo Māori for the workplace, language skills for international staff, study support, computer literacy for creating and filing work documents, problem solving, working in a team and health and safety.

Youth transitionWaiariki works in partnership with 39 secondary schools over the Waiariki rohe. a team of staff are committed to collaborating with secondary schools and includes a secondary school liaison and an iwi liaison, individual Waiariki school resources and the three regional development managers. In January 2012 a senior appointment was made of Trades academy Development Manager to commit to government’s transition strategy for this sector.


stateMent oF researCHrIpoata rangaHau

For Waiariki as a whole, 2012 has been a year of change coupled with success. This pattern was also reflected in the research environment with significant changes in the research office and continued growth in research and scholarly activity.

The research office has seen new appointments to the positions of Director of research and research administrator, signalling firm commitment to supporting research across the institute. This has led to some changes in the central support processes for research and a new focus on business and industry partnerships as a vehicle for growing applied research activity and funding.

alongside these changes, Waiariki’s academic staff have impressively expanded the quantity and quality of their research and scholarly activity. In 2012 Waiariki registered more than 240 items under the combined categories of research outputs, Peer Esteem, and Contribution to research Environment; a 50% increase over 2011 (Table 1). In the research outputs category 33 were national or international, peer-reviewed outputs, including books, journal articles, conference papers, and curated artistic exhibitions. This is a 27% increase over 2011 in the number of these highest quality outputs, reflecting Waiariki’s commitment to continued growth in applied research.

TOTAL 243 162

HighlightsIt is difficult to single out any of these successes, but the two projects below are representative of the types of research activities that are well aligned to Waiariki’s strategic objectives.

research partnerships with commercial organisations are an important component of meeting Waiariki’s goal of being recognised for industry-relevant, applied research. In July, infection prevention and control lecturer, Dr Lynne Chepulis and the research office, formalised a partnership with Manuka Health nZ Ltd, to provide research services relating to manuka honey derivatives. an initial study compared the glycaemic index

of different honey types in healthy volunteers and was published in the Journal of the Society of Clinical nutrition. a second study began a larger programme of work investigating the characteristics and potential benefits of a proprietary manuka honey product and was published in the Journal of Complementary and Integrative Medicine. The success and value of this partnership to both Manuka Health nZ and Waiariki has seen an expansion of the size and scope of the programme into 2013 and beyond.

as a vocational education provider it is imperative that Waiariki contributes to developments and innovation in delivery. In november, Vivienne Kermode, senior tutor and coordinator of the Diploma in Business

administration online at Waiariki, received the new Zealand association for Training and Development (nZaTD) Learning and Development research of the Year 2012 Merit award. The research entitled, “Linkages between workplace assessment and formal tertiary level training – Filling the knowledge gap for administrative professionals undertaking their Diploma in Business administration Level 5”, was the culmination of several years' work with collaborator Eth Lloyd and was funded and published by ako aotearoa. The study showed that independent workplace assessors and ITPs can work together, linking theoretical learning with workplace assessment opportunities for administrative professionals who undertake a national Diploma in Business administration Level 5 in their workplace.

aims for 2013under a new strategic plan Waiariki will focus research effort to meet two overarching objectives:

1. Meet the research requirements for postgraduate education up to master's level.

2. Build productive external collaborations and partnerships.

These are exciting new challenges that will facilitate further development of Waiariki’s applied research culture and ensure we meet the needs of our stakeholders.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with nZ gaaP as appropriate for public benefit entities and they comply with nZ IFrS.

Measurement base

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except where modified by the revaluation of land, buildings, investment property, and certain financial instruments (including derivative instruments) to fair value.

Functional and presentation currency

The financial statements are presented in new Zealand dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($000). The functional currency of the Institute is new Zealand dollars (nZ$).

Changes in accounting policies

There have been no changes in accounting policies during the financial year.

The Institute has adopted the following revisions to accounting standards during the financial year, which have had only a presentational or disclosure effect:

• FrS 44 new Zealand additional disclosure and amendments to nZ IFrS to harmonise with IFrS and australian accounting standards (harmonisation amendments). The purpose of the new standard and amendments is to harmonise australian and new Zealand accounting standards with source IFrS and to eliminate many of the differences between the accounting standards in each jurisdiction. The main effect of the amendments on the Institute is that donations are no longer required to be separately disclosed and certain information about property valuations is no longer required to be disclosed. note 3(e) and 8 have been updated for these changes.

Standards, amendments, and interpretations issued but not yet effective that have not been early adopted and are relevant to the Institute are:

• nZ IFrS 9 Financial Instruments will eventually replace nZ IaS 39 Financial Instruments: recognition and Measurement.

• nZ IaS 39 is being replaced through the following three main phases: Phase 1 Classification and Measurement, Phase 2 Impairment Methodology, and Phase 3 Hedge accounting. Phase 1 on the classification and measurement of financial assets has been completed and has been published in the new financial instrument standard nZ IFrS 9. nZ IFrS 9 uses single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortised cost or fair value, replacing the many different rules in nZ IaS 39. The approach in nZ IFrS 9 is based on how an entity manages its financial instruments (its business model) and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. The financial liability requirements are the same as those of nZ IaS 39, except for when an entity elects to designate a financial liability at fair value through the surplus or deficit. The new standard is required to be adopted for the year ended 30 June 2016. However, as a new accounting Standard Framework will apply before this date, there is no certainty when an equivalent standard to nZ IFrS 9 will be applied by public benefit entities.

The Minister of Commerce has approved a new accounting Standards Framework (incorporating a tier strategy) developed by the External reporting Board (XrB). under this accounting Standards Framework, the Institute is classified as a tier 1 reporting entity and it will be required to apply full public sector Public Benefit Entity accounting Standards (PaS). These standards are being developed by the XrB and are mainly based on current International Public Sector accounting Standards. The effective date for the new standards for public sector entities is expected to be for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014. This means the Institute expects to transition to the new standards in preparing its 31 December 2015 financial statements. as the PaS are still under development, the Institute is unable to assess the implications of the new accounting Standards Framework at this time.

Due to the change in the accounting Standards Framework for public benefit entities, it is expected that all new nZ IFrS and amendments to existing nZ IFrS will not be applicable to public benefit entities. Therefore, the XrB has effectively frozen the financial reporting requirements for public benefit entities until the new accounting Standard Framework is effective. accordingly, no disclosure has been made about new or amended nZ IFrS that exclude public benefit entities from their scope.

B. Significant Accounting Policies

Goodwill

The Institute will recognise goodwill where there is an excess of the consideration transferred over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. This difference reflects the goodwill to be recognised by the Institute. If the consideration transferred is lower than the net fair value of the Institute's interest in the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the difference will be recognised immediately in the surplus or deficit.

Revenue

revenue is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable.


Government grants

government grants are recognised as revenue upon entitlement.

Student tuition fees

Student tuition fees are recognised as revenue on a course percentage of completion basis. The percentage of completion is measured by reference to the days of the course completed as a proportion of the total course days.

Donations, bequests and pledges

Donations and bequests are recognised as income when the right to receive the fund or asset has been established. Pledges are not recognised as assets or revenue until the pledged item is received.

Sales of goods

revenue from sales of goods is recognised when the product is sold to the customer.

Interest and dividends

Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method. Dividends are recognised when the right to receive payment has been established.

Borrowing costs

The Institute has elected to defer the adoption of the revised nZ IaS 23 Borrowing Costs (revised 2007) in accordance with the transitional provisions of nZ IaS 23 that are applicable to public benefit entities. Consequently, all borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

Leases

Finance leases

a finance lease is a lease that transfers to the lessee substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset, whether or not title is eventually transferred.

at the commencement of the lease term, finance leases are recognised as assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position at the lower of the fair value of the leased item or the present value of the minimum lease payments.

The finance charge is charged to the surplus or deficit over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

The amount recognised as an asset is depreciated over its useful life. If there is no certainty as to whether the Institute will obtain ownership at the end of the lease term, the asset is fully depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and its useful life.

Operating leases

an operating lease is a lease that does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset. Lease payments under an operating lease are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease incentives received are recognised in the surplus or deficit over the lease term as an integral part of the total lease expense.

Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions (including those for which forward foreign exchange contracts are held) are translated into nZ$ (the functional currency) using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the surplus or deficit.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts.

Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial position.

Student fees and other receivables

Student fees and other receivables are initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment.

Derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial instruments are used to manage exposure to foreign exchange and interest rate risks arising from financing activities. In accordance with its treasury policy, the Institute does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at their fair value at each balance date with the resulting gain or loss recognised in the surplus or deficit. The Institute has elected not to apply hedge accounting.

The full fair value of foreign exchange derivative is classified as current if the contract is due for settlement within 12 months of balance date; otherwise, foreign exchange derivatives are classified as non-current. The portion of the fair value of an interest rate derivative that is expected to be realised or settled within 12 months of the balance date is classified as current, with the remaining portion of the derivative classified as non-current.

Other financial assets

Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs unless they are carried at fair value through surplus or deficit in which case the transaction costs are recognised in the surplus or deficit.

Purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date, the date on which the Institute commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Institute has transferred subsquently all the risks and rewards of ownership.

Financial assets are classified into the following categories for the purpose of measurement:

• fair value through surplus or deficit;• loans and receivables; and• fair value through other comprehensive income.

Classification of the financial asset depends on the purpose for which the instruments were acquired.

Financial assets at fair value through surplus or deficit

Financial assets at fair value through surplus or deficit include financial assets held for trading. a financial asset is classified in this category if acquired


principally for the purpose of selling in the short term or is part of a portfolio that is managed together and for which there is evidence of short-term profit taking. Derivatives are also categorised as held for trading.

Financial assets acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term or part of a portfolio classified as held for trading are classified as a current asset. The current/non-current classification of derivatives is explained in the derivatives accounting policy above.

after initial recognition, financial assets in this category are measured at their fair values with gains or losses on re-measurement recognised in the surplus or deficit.

Loans and receivables (including cash and cash equivalents and debtors and other receivables)

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the balance date, which are included in non-current assets. related party receivables that are repayable on demand are classified as a non-current asset because repayment of the receivable is not expected within 12 months of balance date.

after initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method less any provision of impairment. gains and losses when the asset is impaired or derecognised are recognised in the surplus or deficit.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are those that are designated as fair value through other comprehensive income or are not classified in any of the other categories above. They are included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of balance date. The Institute designates in this category:

• investment that it intends to hold long term but which may be realised before maturity; and• shareholdings that it holds for strategic purposes.

after initial recognition, these investments are measured at their fair value, with gains and losses recognised in other comprehensive income, except for impairment losses, which are recognised in the surplus or deficit.

on derecognition, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to the surplus or deficit.

Impairment of financial assets

at each balance date, the Institute assesses whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired. any impairment losses are recognised in the surplus or deficit.

Loans and receivables (including cash and cash equivalents and debtors and other receivables)

Impairment of a loan or a receivable is established when there is objective evidence that the Institute will not be able to collect amounts due according to the original terms of the loan or receivable. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter into bankruptcy, receivership or liquidation, and default in payments are considered indicators that the asset is impaired. The amount of the impairment is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted using the original effective interest rate. For debtors and other receivables, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account, and the amount of the loss is recognised in the surplus or deficit. When the receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. overdue receivables that have been renegotiated are reclassified as current (that is not past due). For other financial assets, impairment losses are recognised directly against the instrument's carrying amount.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

For equity investments, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the investment below its cost is considered objective evidence of impairment.

For debt investments, significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter into receivership or liquidation, and default in payments are considered objective indicators that the asset is impaired.

If impairment evidence exists for investments at fair value through other comprehensive income, the cumulative loss (measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in the surplus or deficit) recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to the surplus or deficit.

Equity instrument impairment losses recognised in the surplus or deficit are not reversed through the surplus or deficit.

If in a subsequent period the fair value of a debt instrument increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, the impairment loss is reversed in the surplus or deficit.

Inventories

Inventories held for distribution or consumption in the provision of services that are not supplied on a commercial basis are measured at cost (using the FIFo method) and adjusted when applicable for any loss of service potential. The loss in service potential of inventories held for distribution is determined on the basis of obsolescence. Where inventories are acquired at no cost or for nominal consideration, the cost is the current replacement cost at the date of acquisition.

Inventories held for use in the production of goods and services on a commercial basis are valued at the lower of cost (using the FIFo method) and net realisable value.

The amount of any write-down for the loss of service potential or from cost to net realisable value is recognised in surplus or deficit in the period of the write-down.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment consists of the following asset classes: land and improvements, buildings, computer hardware, furniture and fittings, equipment, motor vehicles, library collection, and plant and machinery.

Land is measured at fair value, and buildings are measured at fair value less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. all other asset classes are measured at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Revaluation

Land and buildings are revalued with sufficient regularity to ensure that their carrying amount does not differ materially from fair value and at least every five years. If there is evidence supporting a material difference, then the off-cycle asset classes are revalued.

Property, plant and equipment revaluation movements are accounted for on a class-of-asset basis.

The net revaluation results are credited or debited to other comprehensive income and is accumulated to an asset revaluation reserve in equity for that class of asset. Where this would result in a debit balance in the asset revaluation reserve, this balance is not recognised in other comprehensive income but is recognised in the surplus or deficit. any subsequent increase on revaluation that offsets a previous decrease in value recognised in the surplus or deficit will be recognised first in the surplus or deficit up to the amount previously expensed, and then recognised in other comprehensive income.


Additions

The cost of an item of property, plant or equipment is recognised as an asset if, and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits or service potential associated with the item will flow to the Institute and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.

The costs of day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in the surplus or deficit as they are incurred.

Work in progress is recognised at cost less impairment and is not depreciated.

In most instances, an item of property, plant or equipment is initially recognised at its cost. Where an asset is acquired at no cost, or for a nominal cost, it is recognised at fair value as at the date of acquisition.

Disposals

gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the disposal proceeds with the carrying amount of the asset. gains and losses on disposals are reported net in the surplus or deficit. When revalued assets are sold, the amounts included in property revaluation reserves in respect of those assets are transferred to general funds.

Depreciation

Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis on all property, plant and equipment other than land, at rates that will write off the cost (or valuation) of the assets to their estimated residual values over their useful lives.

The useful lives and associated depreciation rates of major classes of assets have been estimated as follows:

Buildings 6-100 years 1-16% Equipment 3-20 years 5-33% Plant and machinery 5-20 years 5-20% Furniture and fittings 12-20 years 5-8% Computer hardware 3-7 years 15-33% Motor vehicles 5 years 20% Library collection 5 years 20%

Leasehold assets are depreciated over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated remaining useful lives of the improvements, which ever is the shorter.

The residual value and useful life of an asset is reviewed, and adjusted if applicable, at each financial year end.

Intangible assets

Software acquisition and development

acquired computer software licenses are capitalised on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software.

Costs that are directly associated with the development of software for internal use are recognised as an intangible asset. Direct costs include the software development employee costs and an appropriate portion of relevant overheads.

Staff training costs are recognised as an expense when incurred.

Costs associated with maintaining computer software are recognised as an expense when incurred.

Course development costs

Costs that are directly associated with the development of new educational courses are recognised as an intangible asset to the extent that such costs are expected to be recovered. The development costs primarily consist of employee costs.

Intellectual property development

research costs are expensed as incurred in the surplus or deficit.

Development costs that are directly attributable to the design, construction, and testing of pre-production or pre-use prototypes and models associated with intellectual property development are recognised as an intangible asset if all the following can be demonstrated:

• it is technically feasible to complete the product so that it will be available for use or sale;• management intends to complete the product and use or sell it;• there is an ability to use or sell the product;• it can be demonstrated how the product will generate probable future economic benefits;• adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the product are available; and• the expenditure attributable to the product during its development can be reliably measured.

other development expenses that do not meet these criteria are recognised as an expense as incurred in the surplus or deficit. Development costs previously recognised as an expense cannot be subsequently recognised as an asset.

Amortisation

The carrying value of an intangible asset with a finite life is amortised on a straight-line basis over its useful life. amortisation begins when the asset is available for use and ceases at the date that the asset is derecognised. The amortisation charge for each period is recognised in the surplus or deficit.

The useful lives and associated amortisation rates of major classes of intangible assets have been estimated as follows:

Computer software 3-5 years 20-33% Course development costs 3-5 years 20-33%

Capitalised intellectual property development costs are still work in progress. The useful life of completed projects will be established at project completion.

Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets

Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life, or not yet available for use, are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. assets that have a finite useful life are reviewed for indicators of impairment at each balance date and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicates that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. When there is an indicator of impairment the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. an impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use.

Value in use is depreciated replacement cost for an asset where the future economic benefits or service potential of the asset are not primarily dependent on the asset’s ability to generate net cash inflows and where the Institute would, if deprived of the asset, replace its remaining future economic benefits or service potential.


The value in use for cash-generating assets is the present value of expected future cash flows.

If an asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is impaired and the carrying amount is written down to the recoverable amount. For revalued assets the impairment loss is recognised in other comprehensive income to the extent the impairment loss does not exceed the amount in the revaluation reserve in equity for that same class of asset. Where that results in a debit balance in the revaluation reserve, the balance is recognised in the surplus or deficit.

For assets not carried at a revalued amount, the total impairment loss is recognised in the surplus or deficit.

The reversal of an impairment loss on a revalued asset is credited to other comprehensive income and increases the asset revaluation reserve for that class of asset. However, to the extent that an impairment loss for that class of asset was previously recognised in the surplus or deficit, a reversal of the impairment loss is also recognised in the surplus or deficit.

For assets not carried at a revalued amount the reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in the surplus or deficit.

Investment property

Properties leased to third parties under operating leases are classified as investment property unless the property is held to meet service-delivery objectives, rather than to earn rentals or for capital appreciation. Property held to meet service-delivery objectives is classified as property, plant and equipment.

Investment property is measured initially at its cost, including transaction costs.

after initial recognition, investment property is measured at fair value as determined annually by an independent valuer.

gains or losses arising from a change in the fair value of investment property are recognised in the surplus or deficit.

Trade and other payables

Creditors and other payables are recorded at their face value.

Borrowings

Borrowings are initially recognised at their fair value net of transaction costs incurred. after initial recognition, all borrowings are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Institute has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance date or if the borrowings are expected to be settled within 12 months of the balance date.

Employee entitlements

Short-term employee entitlements

Employee benefits that are due to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related service are measured at nominal values based on accrued entitlements at current rates of pay. These include salaries and wages accrued up to balance date, annual leave earned to but not yet taken at balance date, and sick leave.

a liability for sick leave is recognised to the extent that absences in the coming year are expected to be greater than the sick leave entitlements earned in the coming year. The amount is calculated based on the unused sick leave entitlement that can be carried forward at balance date, to the extent it will be used by staff to cover those future absences.

a liability and an expense is recognised for bonuses where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.

Long-term employee entitlements

Employee benefits that are due to be settled beyond 12 months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related service, such as long service leave and retirement gratuities, have been calculated on an actuarial basis. The calculations are based on:

• likely future entitlements accruing to staff, based on years of service, years to entitlement, the likelihood that staff will reach the point of entitlement, and contractual entitlement information; and

• the present value of the estimated future cash flows.

Expected future payments are discounted using market yields on new Zealand government bonds at balance date with terms to maturity that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash flows for entitlements. The inflation factor is based on the expected long-term increase in remuneration for employees.

Presentation of employee entitlements

Sick leave, annual leave, vested long service leave, and non-vested long service leave and retirement gratuities expected to be settled within 12 months of the balance date, are classified as a current liability. all other employee entitlements are classified as a non-current liability.

Superannuation schemes

Defined contribution schemes

obligations for contributions to Kiwisaver, the government Superannuation Fund, and other defined contribution superannuation schemes are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as incurred.

Defined benefit schemes

The Institute belongs to the Defined Benefit Plan Contributors Scheme (the Scheme), which is managed by the Board of Trustees of the national Provident Fund. The Scheme is a multi-employer-defined benefit scheme.

Insufficient information is available to use defined benefit accounting, as it is not possible to determine from the terms of the Scheme the extent to which the surplus/deficit will affect future contributions by individual employers, as there is no prescribed basis for allocation. The Scheme is therefore accounted for as a defined contribution scheme.

Provisions

a provision is recognised for future expenditure of uncertain amount or timing when there is a present obligation (either legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that expenditures will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as an interest expense and is included in “finance costs”.


Equity

Equity is measured as the difference between total assets and total liabilities. Equity is disaggregated and classified into a number of components. The components of equity are:

• public equity;• assets revaluation reserves; and• retained earnings.

Property revaluation reserve

This reserve relates to the revaluation of land, land improvement and building assets to fair value.

Fair value through other comprehensive income reserves

This reserve comprises the cumulative net changes in the fair value of fair value through other comprehensive income instruments.

Goods and Services Tax (GST)

all items in the financial statements are stated exclusive of gST except for student fees, other debtors, trade and other payables which are presented on a gST-inclusive basis. Where gST is not recoverable as input tax then it is recognised as part of the related asset or expense.

The net amount of gST recoverable from, or payable to, the Inland revenue Department (IrD) is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position. The net gST paid to, or received from the IrD, including the gST relating to investing and financing activities, is classified as a net operating cash flow in the statement of cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed exclusive of gST.

Income tax

The Institute is exempt from income tax. accordingly, no provision has been made for income tax.

Budget figures

The budget figures are those approved by the Council at the start of the financial year. The budget figures have been prepared in accordance with nZ gaaP, using accounting policies that are consistent with those adopted by the Council in the preparation of the financial statements.

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

In preparing these financial statements, the Institute has made estimates and assumptions concerning the future. These estimates and assumptions may differ from the subsequent actual results. Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations or future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:

Property revaluations

note 8 provides information about the estimates and assumptions exercised in the measurement of revalued land and buildings.

Critical judgements in applying accounting policies

Management has exercised the following critical judgements in applying accounting policies for the year ended 31 December 2012:

Crown owned land and buildings

Property in the legal name of the Crown that is occupied by the Institute is recognised as an asset in the statement of financial position. The Institute considers it has assumed all the normal risks and rewards of ownership of this property despite legal ownership not being transferred and accordingly it would be misleading to exclude these assets from the financial statements.

Distinction between revenue and capital contributions

Most Crown funding received is operational in nature and is provided by the Crown under the authority of an expense appropriation and is recognised as revenue. Where funding is received from the Crown under the authority of a capital appropriation, the Institute accounts for the funding as a capital contribution directly in equity. Information about capital contributions recognised in equity is disclosed in the statement of changes in equity.

IMPAIRMENT

The institute provides for any impairment on individual student fees receivables on a case-by-case basis. The student's signed enrolment form constitutes a binding contract to pay fees in full. The institute can claim collection costs and withhold qualification results if accounts are not collected.

HOLIDAY PARK

The rotorua Thermal Holiday Park was purchased in May 2012. It is sited on 12 hectares of leased land adjacent to the main campus at Mokoia, with the existing lease expiring in 2027 with a further 33 year right-of-renewal. goodwill of $1,350,000 was included in the purchase and is treated as an intangible asset. It is intended to run the holiday park in conjunction with the provision of student accommodation and the increase of green space available to Waiariki students.

VALUATION

Land

Land is valued at fair value using market-based evidence on its highest and best use with reference to comparable land values. adjustments have been made to the "unencumbered" land value for campus land where there is a designation against the land or the use of the land is restricted because of reserve or endowment status. These adjustments are intended to reflect the negative effect on the value of the land where an owner is unable to use the land more intensely.

restrictions on the institute's ability to sell land would normally not impair the value of the land because the institute has operational use of the land for the foreseeable future and will substantially receive the full benefits of outright ownership.

The most recent valuation of land was performed by a registered independent valuer, Kendall russ of the firm reid and reynolds Ltd, and the valuation is effective as at 31 December 2009.

Buildings

Specialised buildings (e.g., campuses) valued at fair value using depreciated replacement cost because no reliable market data is available for buildings designed for education delivery purposes.

Depreciated replacement cost is determined using a number of significant assumptions. Significant assumptions include:• The replacement asset is based on the reproduction cost of the specific assets with adjustments where appropriate for obsolescence due to over-designed or surplus capacity.• The replacement cost is derived from recent construction contracts of similar assets and Property Institute of new Zealand cost information.• The remaining useful life of assets is estimated.• Straight-line depreciation has been applied in determining the depreciation replacement cost value of the asset.

The most recent valuation of buildings was performed by a registered independent valuer, Kendall russ of the firm reid and reynolds Ltd, and the valuation is effective as at 31 December 2009.

RESTRICTION ON TITLE

under the Education act 1989, the institute is required to obtain the consent from the Ministry of Education to dispose of or sell property where the value of the property exceeds an amount determined by the Minister.

There are also various restrictions in the form of historic designations, reserve, and endowment encumbrances attached to land. The institute does not consider it practical to disclose in detail the value of land subject to these restrictions.

The buildings held currently for an undetermined future use is classified as an investment property.

Total rental derived from these properties amounted to $40,000 with expenses amounting to $17,000.

Investment properties are stated at fair value. Investment properties are valued on 31 December 2012 by Kendall russ, independent registered valuer, of the firm reid and reynolds Ltd. Mr Kendall russ is a member of the new Zealand Institute of Valuers (Inc.).

The valuation undertaken was based on an open market value, supported by market evidence in which assets could be exchanged between a knowledgeable willing buyer and a knowledgeable willing seller in an arm’s length transaction at the date of valuation.

For the year ended 31 December 2012, there have been no addition of course development costs, and computer software is capitalised at cost. These intangible assets have been assessed as having finite lives and are amortised using the straight line method over a period of three to five years.

The additions to computer software represent intangible assets acquired separately.

There is an addition of goodwill $1,350,000 related to the purchase of the rotorua Thermal Holiday Park. goodwill has not been impaired for the year ended 31 December 2012 based on consideration of the positive trading results currently shown in the short period of time of ownership, and assessments that has not been completed for future further capital investment or methods of operations.

The amortisation expense relating to intangible assets is included in the operating expenses line item of the statement of comprehensive income.

There are no restrictions over the title of the institute’s intangible assets, nor are any intangible assets pledged as security for liabilities.

Finance leases have been entered into for computers and electronic equipment for teaching, research and administrative purposes.

The finance leases can be renewed at the institute’s option, with rents set by reference to current market rates for items of equivalent age and condition. The institute does have the option to purchase the asset at the end of the lease term, but it is likely the option to purchase will not be exercised because the lease assets are usually technologically obsolete at lease expiry.

The institute is not permitted to pledge the leased assets as security nor can it sublease the lease equipment without the permission of the lessor. There are no other restrictions placed on the institute by any of the finance leasing arrangements.

CREDIT RISKWith the exception of student fees the institute trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties.

receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the institute’s exposure to bad debts are minimised. For significant debt the institute exercises its ability to withhold graduation from students who do not pay their fees.

With respect to credit risk arising from the other financial assets of the institute, which comprise cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale financial assets, the institute’s exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counter party, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments.

There are no significant concentrations of credit risk.

The institute’s primary receivable is from tuition fees which is due before the commencement of studies. Student fees are considered overdue 30 days past the official course start date. Based on a historical analysis prepared by the institute every year, a percentage of doubtful debts is provisioned for, with the remainder expected to be collected in a timely fashion. There are no related party receivables and no provision is made.

CREDIT QUALITY OF FINANCIAL ASSETSThe credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired can be assessed by reference to external credit rating (if available) or to historical information about counterparty default rates:

Counterparties with credit ratings (Standard and Poor)

CASH AT BANK AND TERM DEPOSIT 2012 2011 $000's $000's

Student fees and other receivable mainly arise from the declaration by the client/students at the time of enrolment, therefore, there are no procedures in place to monitor the credit quality of student fees and other receivables with reference to internal or external credit rating. The institute has no significant concentrations of credit in relation to student fees and other receivables, as it has large numbers of credit customers and the Institute can withhold qualification result to recover outstanding debts.


18. FInanCIaL InstruMents

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT RISKSThe institute’s activities expose it to a variety of financial instrument risks, including market risks, credit risk and liquidity risk. The institute has a series of policies to manage the risks associated with financial instruments and seeks to minimise exposure from financial instruments. These policies do not allow any transactions that are speculative in nature to be entered into.

MARKET RISKThe interest rates on the institute's investment varies from 2.40% to 4.58% per annum during 2012.

FAIR VALUE INTEREST RATE RISKFair value interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Institute’s exposure to fair value interest rate risk is limited to its bank deposits which are held at mixed rates of fixed and floating interest.

CASH FLOW INTEREST RATE RISKCash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the cash flows from a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Investment interest rates expose the institute to cash flow interest rate risk.

The institute's investment policy is permitted by legislation to invest within the following areas:

- with new Zealand registered banks;- in Public Securities; and- in such other securities as the Minister may from time to time approve.

It is specifically prohibited from investing in any other types of financial security.

CURRENCY RISKCurrency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The institute has limited exposure to foreign currency risk.

all fees are denominated in new Zealand dollars to diminish risks associated with revenue streams.

CREDIT RISKCredit risk is the risk that a third party will default on its obligation to the institute, causing it to incur a loss. Due to the timing of its cash inflows and outflows, surplus cash is invested into term deposits which give rise to credit risk.

The institute invests funds only with registered banks that have a Standard and Poor’s credit rating of at least aa- for short-term, medium and long-term investments.

The institute holds a credit enhancement via the Crown retail Deposit guarantee Scheme (CrDgS) for funds held with banks that have opted into the scheme. There is a cap on the size of the deposit that is covered by the guarantee of $1 million per depositor per guaranteed institution.

apart from the CrDgS, the institute holds no collateral or other credit enhancements for financial instruments that give rise to credit risk.

Currently all funds are held with three different banks which does present a credit concentration risk.

FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY DISCLOSURESFor those instruments recognised at fair value in the statement of financial position, fair value is determined according to the following hierarchy:

• Quoted market price: financial instruments with quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

• Valuation technique using observable inputs: financial instruments with quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in inactive markets and financial instruments valued using models where all significant inputs are observable.

• Valuation techniques with significant non-observable inputs: financial instruments valued using models where one or more significant inputs are not observable.

The following table analyses the basis of the valuation of classes of financial instruments measured at fair value in the statement of financial position:

LIQUIDITY RISKS

Management of Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that institute will encounter difficulty raising liquid funds to meet commitments as they fall due. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions.

The institute has maintained cash at bank $15,606,000 at the end of 2012 ($22,199,000 in 2011).

The table below analyses the institute’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual date.

18a.CapItaL ManageMent

The institute’s capital is its equity, which comprises general equity, property valuation reserve and retained earnings. Equity is represented by net assets.

The institute is subject to the financial management and accountability provision of the Education act 1989, which includes restrictions in relation to: disposing of assets or interests in assets, ability to mortgage or otherwise charge assets or interests in assets, granting leases of land or buildings or parts of buildings, and borrowing.

The institute manages its revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities, investments, and general financial dealings prudently and in a manner that promotes the current and future interest of the community. The institute’s equity is largely managed as a by-product of managing revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities, investments and general financial dealings.

The objective of managing the institute's equity is to ensure that it effectively and efficiently achieves the goals and objectives for which it has been established, while remaining a going concern.
