Leadership Innovation Integrity Inclusion Collaboration

What We DoSport NSW recognises that the sports industry faces many challenges and we strive to assist in building the capacity and

performance of member organisations, their affiliates and individuals to help maximise potential, increase participation and

enhance the quality of experience for participants and volunteers engaged in sport in NSW.

Sport NSW’s strategy is built on three (3) pillars, namely:

� Advocacy

� Recognition & Networking

� Knowledge Share

2

The inclusion of Womensport & Recreation NSW (WRNSW) into our team at Sport NSW has undoubtedly made us a

more progressive and inclusive organisation. I would like to acknowledge former Chair of WRNSW Susan Horwitz for her

commitment to bringing our two organisations together and her valued insights to Sport NSW as our newest Director. Susan

will also chair the Women’s Advisory Council subcommittee. I would also like to acknowledge all former WRNSW Board

members whose ongoing commitment to making Sport NSW a leader across the sports industry is valued by our team.

This year our organisation received a commitment for funding for four years from the Office of Sport. Certainty of funding has

been one of our greatest strategic and operational challenges over the past few years. To receive this long term commitment

is endorsement for the increasing responsibility and presence that Sport NSW will play across our industry. Thank you to

Minister for Sport Stuart Ayres, Matt Miller, Paul Doorn and Phil Hamdorf for your support.

The past year also saw a change in Sport NSW CEO’s. As many of you know our previous CEO Cheryl Battaerd sought a

tree/sea change earlier this year and relocated with her husband to Northern NSW. Cheryl’s contribution to Sport NSW can

never be understated. Cheryl’s leadership from 2013 – 2016, her passion for inclusion and equality, coupled with her tireless

advocacy for all of our member sports has enabled Sport NSW to become the stable organisation it is today. On behalf of

our staff and Board, we would like to congratulate Cheryl on her achievements and acknowledge her passion and industry

leadership for Sport in NSW.

In selecting a new CEO, Sport NSW established a selection subcommittee and ran an exhaustive industry wide process to select

a well-qualified candidate. I would like to take this opportunity to thank two of our Sport NSW Directors, Ross Bidencope and

Carolyn Campbell for their commitment to this process. The selection process concluded with the appointment of Darren Simpson.

Darren has occupied senior executive positions within State Sporting Organisations for the past 10 years and was a standout

candidate in a strong field. Darren has made an immediate impact building strong relations with our staff and Board; delivering

on the expectations of our funding agreements with the Office of Sport and Department of Family & Community Services; and

beginning the process of establishing respected and mutually beneficial relationships with our members and corporate partners.

We look forward to working with Darren over the coming years as we expand our member services and support to the industry.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank fellow Sport NSW Directors, Fay Calderone (Deputy Chair), Ross Bidencope (Chair of

Finance), Carolyn Campbell, Greg Meagher, Tracie Edmondson, Alison Nolan, Katherine O’Regan and Susan Horwitz. All of our

Directors volunteer their time to our organisation and we are fortunate to have such a respected and competent Board. I would

also like to compliment our dedicated staff including Cassie Browne (nee Butcher), Murray Elbourn, Denise Rogers and Shireen

Yousif, as well as welcoming our newest team member Sophie Milton to the role of Membership & Female Programs Officer.

In closing, thank you to all of our Sport NSW members for their continued support; our NSW Government Partners at the

Office of Sport and the Department of Family & Community Services; and our corporate partners.

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

Joseph La Posta Chairperson

Chairperson’s MessageAs our operating year for 2015/2016 comes to a

close, it’s important we take stock of all we have

achieved at Sport NSW – and there is much

to celebrate. Our team have worked incredibly

hard over the past year to deliver on a number of

milestones, of which I’ll touch on a few.

Chief Executive Officer’s Report

“It’s so difficult, isn’t it? To see what’s going on when

you’re in the absolute middle of something? It’s only

with hindsight we can see things for what they are.”

S.J. Watson

In preparing this, my first Chief Executive’s report for Sport

NSW, I have had the privilege of looking back at a year

which may just prove to be one of the most important in the

Federation’s history. The hard work of those that were in the

absolute middle of the action in 2015/16 has laid a platform

of increased capacity and resources. With the benefit of

hindsight we can now look back on a very big year. But at

the same time we will look forward to an exciting future for

Sport NSW.

Government PartnershipsWhile Sport NSW is an independent organisation, we rely

on the tremendous support we receive from the NSW

Government in order to ensure that our objective of being

‘The Voice of Sport’ for our members can be achieved.

In 2015/16 not only did this support assist us in our

operations for the financial year, but in April the Minister

for Sport Stuart Ayres announced a commitment to fund

Sport NSW to the tune of $250,000 per annum for the four

years until June 2020. This is without doubt one of the most

significant moments since the establishment of the NSW

Sports Federation as it recognises the role Sport NSW has

to play as the peak body for sport in the state and allows for

a long term outlook with greater financial security.

While we are fortunate to be supported by such a passionate

Minister, at an operational level the Office of Sport, Sport

& Recreation is a key partner. I would like to extend our

sincere thanks to Matt Miller, Office of Sport CEO, and his

Executive Directors Phil Hamdorf and Paul Doorn not only

for their support of Sport NSW throughout 2015/16, but for

their faith in the organisation around the increased funding

commitment and, at a personal level, the guidance, advice

and welcome they have provided to me in my first few

months as Chief Executive.

With greater capacity Sport NSW is now looking forward to

playing an increasingly active role for members and working

with the Office of Sport to achieve important outcomes for

the sector. We will continue to provide the services around

advocacy, recognition and knowledge sharing which are

core to our operations, however Sport NSW will also play

an important role with the Office of Sport in formulating a

strategic plan for the sporting sector and we will be active in

working with members to ensure the initiatives coming out

of the plan are owned by the sector and benefit the sector.

Another government partnership which has proven to be

highly successful is that with the Department of Family &

Community Services (FACS). Funding was provided late in

the 2014/15 financial year for the creation of a Disability

Inclusion Promotions Officer role at Sport NSW in 2015/16.

That funding has now been continued into a second year

and we thank the Minister for Disability Services John Ajaka

MLC and FACS for allowing Sport NSW to become more

active in our support for people with a disability wanting to

participate in sport. More details on our inclusion activities

are outlined below.

Structural ChangeIt has never been more true that the only constant in life

is change, and in April some structural changes were put

in place which will serve both Sport NSW and the wider

sporting community in NSW well.

Firstly, at a Special General Meeting members agreed to

changes to the Constitution of the NSW Sports Federation

so that the objectives under the Constitution are aligned

with the goals, purpose and culture of the organisation and

so that the document reflects contemporary terminology

and operations.

6

The key changes, which were unanimously supported,

were:

� Expanding Objective 3 (a) (ii) to: ‘Identifying and

advocating strategies to increase participation

in sport and active recreation and enhance

the sustainability of sport in New South Wales

communities.’

� Adding a new Objective 3 (a) (xi): ‘To pursue,

support and promote diversity, inclusiveness and

gender equality throughout the sporting community

of NSW.’

� Amending the wording around Independent

Directors as well as clarifying the appointment,

terms of office and removal of those Directors.

Following on from the addition of the new objective in the

Constitution was the second major structural change,

being the integration of Womensport & Recreation NSW

(WRNSW) into Sport NSW. While this change formally

took effect on 1 July 2016 a significant amount of work

was done throughout 2015/16 on the integration and

I acknowledge the work of Sport NSW Chairperson

Joseph La Posta, former Chief Executive Cheryl Battaerd,

former WRNSW Chairperson Susan Horwitz and her

Board for the good faith in which discussions took place

and the successful outcome which was achieved.

The integration of WRNSW has resulted in the formation

of a sub-committee of the Sport NSW Board – the

Women’s Advisory Council – which is chaired by Susan

Horwitz, as well as the appointment of Sophie Milton as

Membership & Female Programs Officer to Sport NSW

who will devote a large amount of time to improving

outcomes for women and girls in sport.

Disability & InclusionAs mentioned above, funding from the Department of

Family & Community Services has allowed Sport NSW

to hire a Disability Inclusion Promotions Officer for the

first time. In September Matthew Dunstan began in

the role but shortly into his tenure he was offered an

opportunity in the UK which resulted in Murray Elbourn

moving into the position in February.

Despite the personnel change, the impact Sport NSW

is having through this role is significant. Murray, a former

Paralympian, is an extremely active and vocal advocate

for all levels of disability sport and more is now being done

to highlight options for people with a disability in NSW.

The work across sport and recreation has helped to link

people together and minimise repetition amongst disability

organisations in sport and this activity is placing NSW as

one of the most progressive sporting states in Australia.

Some highlights of the year include:

� Representatives from the state sporting organisations

with a disability from Blind, Deaf, Cerebral Palsy,

Intellectual and Wheelchair Sports came together to

discuss common goals with a view to collaborate across

joint ventures and projects;

� Assisted at the inception of a multi disability touch football

competition named ‘Premier Inclusion League’ which was

formed under the management of NSW Touch Football

through the NRL;

� Hosted 20 sports and key stakeholders including the

Australian Paralympic Committee at a Disability Inclusion

Recruitment Forum which focused on how to attract and

retain participants with a disability;

� Sport NSW has partnered with School Sports NSW to

extend their 12 multi disability days throughout NSW.

This initiative and partnership will ensure a wider variety

of inclusion participation takes place and is then linked to

existing programs through state sporting organisations.

Australian Sports Commission Governance ReviewIn June 2015 the Australian Sports Commission (ASC)

released a Discussion Paper on Governance Reform in Sport.

The contents of the paper were provocative, as highlighted by

the ASC CEO Simon Hollingsworth, and feedback was being

sought from stakeholders in the sport sector.

Sport NSW spent a large amount of time coordinating feedback

on the discussion paper from the sport sector in NSW in the

second half of 2015 with forums and roundtable events attended

by a wide variety of sports as well as the Minister for Sport

Stuart Ayres and Office of Sport CEO Matt Miller. Sport NSW

partner Lander & Rogers Lawyers also played a significant part

in the process and thanks goes to Ian Fullagar for his support.

Ultimately Sport NSW, on behalf of the sector and including

feedback from the various forums, discussions and consultation,

provided a submission to the ASC for consideration. The final

submission is available on the Sport NSW website.

RecognitionSport NSW plays an important role in recognising the efforts of

so many people associated with sport in the state. In February

2016 we hosted the 21st NSW Sports Awards at Curzon Hall

in front of over 400 guests where awards were presented to

honour the success and achievements of competitors, officials

and administrators in 2015.

In August 2015 NSW Parliament House was the venue for the

NSW Community Sports Volunteer Awards. These awards are

so important as they focus on the lifeblood of sport, the hundreds

of thousands of people who volunteer their time to ensure that

sport just ‘happens’ all over NSW. Further information on both

awards ceremonies, is included further on in this Annual Report.

Knowledge ShareAs always Sport NSW looked to assist sporting

organisations throughout the year with access to up-to-

date information. Whether it be through our partnership with

Meltwater, which powers the Newsfeed on the Sport NSW

website and our weekly News Update email newsletters,

our fortnightly Blues eNews emails or workshops and

training opportunities designed to increase knowledge

on specific topics, the opportunity has been there for all

members to be more informed.

During 2015/16 a selection of knowledge share events was

as follows:

� ‘Getting the most bang from your fundraising buck!’

presented by the Australian Sports Foundation;

� Workplace Law and Impacts on Sporting

Organisations, presented by Sport NSW Director and

Partner at DibbsBarker Fay Calderone;

� Volunteering in Sport & Recreation workshop, in

partnership with Volunteering NSW;

� Sports Business Briefings, in partnership with Sport

NSW partner the Australian Institute of Company

Directors;

� A special presentation entitled ‘Leading Times in

Changing Times’ from Mark McCrindle, one of

Australia’s most renowned social researchers and

demographers;

� A mini-sport expo partnering with the Sydney Sports

Incubator.

Governance Throughout the course of 2015/16 three Directors left the

Board and three joined. Member elected Directors Nicola

Bethwaite and Daniel Munk resigned from their positions

due to increasing work commitments. In the case of Nicola,

this was just prior to the expiration of her two-year term

while for Daniel it was with over a year remaining resulting

in a casual vacancy on the Board. Independent Director

Megan Lavender elected not to seek re-appointment at the

conclusion of her term.

The casual vacancy on the Board was filled by the return

of Netball NSW CEO Carolyn Campbell. After stepping

down from the Board in October 2014, Carolyn accepted

an invitation to return bringing her vast knowledge of the

history of Sport NSW, as well as her experience as an

administrator, back to the Board table.

At the 2015 AGM Chairperson Joseph La Posta, Chair of

Finance Ross Bidencope and Director Greg Meagher were

returned for two year terms. They were joined as elected

Directors by Tracie Edmondson, the Head of Public Affairs

at NSW Rugby League, adding further skill and experience

to the Board in the area of media, public relations and

communications. Finally, late in June Susan Horwitz joined

the Board as part of the integration of Womensport &

Recreation NSW outlined in more detail above.

It is important to note that Sport NSW Directors are

volunteers who balance the commitments of their

professional lives with the role of providing direction and

governance to the organisation. I would like to sincerely

thank the departing Directors for their commitment and

also the current Board for the advice and guidance they

have welcomed me with since my arrival in late May.

AcknowledgementsAs a small not-for-profit organisation Sport NSW is like

so many of our members in that we rely on the generous

support of sponsors, partners and preferred suppliers to

ensure that we can continue to serve the sport sector in

NSW. Accordingly, we would like to acknowledge and

thank the Office of Sport (NSW Sport & Recreation), the

Department of Family & Community Services, iCare

Sporting Injuries, Arthur J Gallagher Insurance Brokers,

Pitcher Partners, Australian Institute of Company Directors,

Lander & Rogers Lawyers, YCG Accountants, Auditors

& Advisors, Meltwater, Valour Performance Apparel,

Revolutionise Sport, Sportspeople, Sydney Olympic Park

Authority, Navarra Venues, World Corporate Travel, CV

Check, Contact & Clarendon Printing and creative hitch.

As all members would know, in May Cheryl Battaerd

resigned from the position of Chief Executive of Sport NSW.

Cheryl’s contribution to the organisation was enormous

and it has been acknowledged well in the Chairperson’s

report. From a personal perspective I am extremely grateful

to Cheryl for her time and patience in handing over to me.

I would also like to pay tribute to the small and talented team

at Sport NSW who have not missed a beat this year despite

a change in CEO. To Cassie Browne (nee Butcher), Murray

Elbourn, Denise Rogers, Shireen Yousif and Sophie Milton,

thank you for the enthusiasm and dedication you display

every day and for your support since my commencement.

The NSW Sports Awards celebrated its 21st anniversary with a gala night of celebration

at the prestigious Curzon Hall on Thursday 18 February 2016 to honour the success

and achievements of all those who are involved in NSW sport on the national and

international stage.

2015 NSW Sports Awards

The 2015 NSW Sports Awards attracted 420 guests including the Hon. John Ajaka MLC, Minister for Ageing,

Minister for Disability Services, and Minister for Multiculturalism, Guy Zangari MP, former Shadow Minister for Sport

and Recreation, Shannon Byrne of ABC Grandstand, Matt Miller, CEO, Office of Sport, representatives from NSW

Sport & Recreation and Family and Community Services as well as Life Members and Directors of Sport NSW.

Tim Gilbert, a key member of the TODAY team and Sports Presenter was the MC for the evening. The Dinner

volunteers, masters and young athletes and athletes and teams with a disability.

The Awards presented the opportunity to recognise Sport NSW’s partners for their financial and in-kind support.

Representatives of the following organisations attended the Dinner and presented awards to category winners,

namely: Office of Sport, Family and Community Services, icare, Pitcher Partners, Curzon Hall, YCG Accountants,

Australian Institute of Company Directors, Arthur J. Gallagher, Meltwater, and World Corporate Travel.

In all 142 award nominations were received for the 2015 NSW Sports Awards, of which 81 were short listed as

finalists within 15 categories and paid homage to 15 Distinguished Long Service recipients.

World Cup winning netballer, Kim Green, beat a star-studded field, including Australian cricket captain Steve

Smith, AFL’s Adam Goodes, tennis champion Sam Stosur, canoeist Jess Fox and equestrian Shane Rose, to

claim the top honour.

Green was crowned Athlete of the Year for her role in the Australian Diamonds’ Gold medal win in the 2015 Netball World

Cup at Sydney Olympic Park, which also won Event of the Year.

Green was unable to attend the event because, although she retired from international netball after the World Cup in

August 2015, she had just announced that she would continue to play in the national competition and was in New Zealand,

preparing for the NSW Swifts season.

The NSW Lendlease Breakers won the National Professional League – Team of the Year Award for their outstanding 2015

performance after winning both the Women’s National Cricket League and Women’s T20.

Maddison Elliott OAM was awarded the Athlete of the Year with a Disability title after having a stellar 2015, continuing her

run from last year when she was crowned the Young Athlete of the Year with a Disability for 2014.

Elliott dominated the swimming world with her incredible performance at the IPC Championships in Glasglow, Scotland,

taking home four Gold medals and setting the World Record and Oceania Record in the Women’s 100m Freestyle.

Young Athlete of the Year was won by Australian Footballer Callum Mills, who last year became the highest AFL Draft pick

to ever come from Sydney, when he was drafted as number three by the Sydney Swans. In September 2016, he added

another award to his collection when he was named 2016 NAB AFL Rising Star.

Australian Wallabies Head Coach, Michael Cheika, and Diving Australia’s Head Coach, Chava Sobrino, were among the top

award winners, with the pair sharing the category of Coach of the Year for the second consecutive year.

Cricket NSW was once more victorious when they claimed the Organisation of the Year Award against some fierce

competition, including Netball NSW, Equestrian NSW, Tennis NSW, Rowing NSW and Women’s Bowls NSW.

Cricket NSW also won the Inclusion/Diversity Award for their instrumental work in developing programs to promote an

inclusive environment and create cricket as a sport for all. A first for the program, awarded to organisations who demonstrate

outstanding commitment to the principles of inclusion and diversity in their sport or the sport industry as a whole, it is a

celebration of the work being done towards building a holistic and all-inclusive sporting community across the board.

We extend our congratulations to the 2015 award winners who now join previous champions – a tradition upheld since 1994.

Chair of Finance Report

It is my pleasure to present the audited Balance

Sheet and Financial Statement of New South

Wales Sports Federation (Sport NSW), for the

twelve months ending 30th June 2016.

The Federation recorded a virtual breakeven deficit of $1,439 (2015 surplus $134,523). As noted in last year’s report much of

the 15-16 funding was recognised in the last financial year due to its early receipt, hence the significant swing between this

year and last. The table below shows that in Net Asset terms the Federation is in a virtually identical position to that of 2015.

In terms of cash, the Federation has improved 42% to $438,205 (prior year $307,155). Resulting in cash exceeding

amounts owed to outside parts by a factor of two.

Financial Highlights

$’000 2011-12 2012-13 2013-14 2014-15 2015-16

Revenue 387 313 291 493 453

Surplus/(Deficit) 1 -81 -67 134 -1

Net Assets 333 251 184 318 317

Government Funding 175 175 148 358 293

In terms of government grant funds as at 30 June 2016, $125,000 received has been deferred (liability) until next financial

year as it relates to known deliverables required in the 16-17 year. These together with the $293,000 already recognised

in the profit and loss statement show government funding increasing by 17%.

The State Government grants of $418K ($293K +$125K) have a substantial impact on the Federation’s operating position

and allow it to continue to support its members and advocate for sport in NSW. Thus I would like to give special thanks

to the NSW Government, Office of Sport – Sport and Recreation and the Department of Family and Community Services

plus our valued partners Arthur J. Gallagher, Australian Institute of Company Directors, Navarra Venues, Lander and

Rogers, Meltwater, Pitcher Partners, icare Sporting Injuries Insurance, YCG, World Corporate Travel, Valour Apparel and

Revolutionise Sport.

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

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

(nee Butcher).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting

Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements, Interpretations and other applicable authoritative pronouncements of the

Australian Accounting Standards Board.

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

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

The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the association in the preparation and presentation

of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.

(a) Basis of preparation of the financial report

Historical Cost Convention

The financial report has been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by revaluations to fair value for certain

classes of assets and liabilities as described in the accounting policies.

(b) Revenue

Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to

the buyer and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Risks and rewards

of ownership are considered passed to the buyer at the time of delivery of the goods to the customer.

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

Membership fees are recognised as revenue when no significant uncertainty as to its collectibility exists, if the fee relates

only to membership and all other services or products are paid for separately, or if there is a separate annual subscription.

Membership fees are recognised on a basis that reflects the timing, nature and value of the benefit provided if the fee entitles

the member to services or publications to be provided during the membership period, or to purchase goods or services at

prices lower than those charged to non-members.

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

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

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

applicable to the financial assets.

Grant revenue is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income when the entity obtains control of the grant and

it is probable that the economic benefits gained from the grant will flow to the entity and the amount of the grant can be

measured reliably.

All revenue is measured net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

20NSW Sports Federation Incorporated

ABN 40 314 091 302


NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(c) Contributions – Government Grants and Donations

A non-reciprocal contribution or grant is recognised when the entity obtains control of the contribution or grant and it is

probable that the economic benefits will flow to the entity, and the amount of the contribution or grant can be measured reliably.

If conditions attached to the contribution or grant that must be satisfied before the entity is eligible to receive the contribution,

recognition of contribution or income is deferred until those conditions are met.

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

When the entity receives grants but is obliged to give directly approximately equal value to the contributor, recognition of grant

income will be deferred until the delivery of service.

(d) Financial instruments

Classification

The association classifies its financial assets in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans

and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, and available-for-sale financial assets. The classification depends on the nature

of the item and the purpose for which the instruments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial

instruments at initial recognition.

Fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets are classified at fair value through profit or loss when they are held for trading for the purpose of short-term

profit taking, are derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or when they are designated as such to avoid an accounting

mismatch or to enable performance evaluation by key management personnel. Investments in listed securities are carried at

fair value through profit or loss. They are measured at their fair value at each reporting date and any increment or decrement in

fair value from the prior period is recognised in profit or loss of the current period. Fair value of listed investments is based on

closing bid prices at the reporting date.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active

market. Loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Donated financial assets

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

(e) Property, plant and equipment

Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and any

accumulated impairment losses.

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment is measured at cost. Where plant and equipment was acquired at no cost or for a nominal amount, cost

is deemed to be the fair value as at the acquisition date.

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all property, plant and equipment is depreciated over their estimated useful lives commencing from the

time the asset is held ready for use. Land and the land component of any class of property, plant and equipment is not depreciated.

Class of fixed asset Depreciation rates Depreciation basis

Office equipment at cost 25% Straight line

Computer equipment at cost 25% Straight line


ABN 40 314 091 302


NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(f) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the association has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is

probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.

(g) Employee benefits

(i) Short‑term employee benefit obligations

Liabilities arising in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, accumulated sick leave and any other employee benefits

(other than termination benefits) expected to be settled wholly before twelve months after the end of the annual reporting

period are measured at the (undiscounted) amounts based on remuneration rates which are expected to be paid when the

liability is settled. The expected cost of short-term employee benefits in the form of compensated absences such as annual

leave and accumulated sick leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits. All other short-term employee benefit

obligations are presented as payables in the statement of financial position.

(ii) Long‑term employee benefit obligations

The provision for other long-term employee benefits, including obligations for long service leave and annual leave, which are

not expected to be settled wholly before twelve months after the end of the reporting period, are measured at the present value

of the estimated future cash outflow to be made in respect of the services provided by employees up to the reporting date.

Expected future payments incorporate anticipated future wage and salary levels, durations of service and employee turnover,

and are discounted at rates determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on high quality corporate

bonds that have maturity dates that approximate the terms of the obligations. Any remeasurements for changes in assumptions

of obligations for other long-term employee benefits are recognised in profit or loss in the periods in which the change occurs.

Other long-term employee benefit obligations are presented as current liabilities in the statement of financial position if the

entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, regardless of

when the actual settlement is expected to occur. All other long-term employee benefit obligations are presented as non-current

liabilities in the statement of financial position.

(h) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs including interest expense calculated using the effective interest method, finance charges in respect of

finance leases, and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an

adjustment to interest costs.

Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred.

(i) Goods and services tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and purchased assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred

is not recoverable from the Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset

or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.

Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and

financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

(j) Comparatives

Where necessary, comparative information has been reclassified and repositioned for consistency with current year disclosures.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORTTO THE MEMBERS OF NSW SPORTS FEDERATION INCORPORATED

We have audited the accompanying financial report of NSW Sports Federation Incorporated, which comprises the statement of

financial position as at 30 June 2016, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes

in members funds and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting

policies and other explanatory information, and the statement by members of the board.

Responsibility of Those Charged with GovernanceThe governing committee are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with

Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements and the financial reporting requirements of the Associations

Incorporation Act (2009) and for such internal control as the governing committee determines is necessary to enable the preparation

and fair presentation of a financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s ResponsibilityOur responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance

with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit

engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from

material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The

procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the

financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to

the association’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate

in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit

also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made

by the governing committee, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

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

OpinionIn our opinion, the financial report of NSW Sports Federation Incorporated presents fairly, in all material respects, the association’s

financial position as at 30 June 2016 and its performance and its cash flows for the year ended on that date in accordance with

Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements and the financial reporting requirements of the Associations

Incorporation Act (2009).
