Innovation & Creativity towards Sustainable Growth

Fellow members,On behalf of the Council, I am pleased to report on our activities and achievements for the past year. The key initiatives and

activities for the 2011/2012 term which are covered in greater detail throughout the report are:

• Continued internal strengthening of the Institute through various initiatives including the appointment of a new General

Manager, an additional customer service representative and commissioning of a review of ICATT’s organizational structure;

• Application for a parcel land to build a permanent home for the Institute;

• Creation of a more extensive Continuous Professional Development programme to meet the needs of our members in

fulfilling their CPD objectives and requirements;

• Our sustained Practice Monitoring exercise where approximately 27 auditors/ firms were reviewed during the 2011/2012

term;

• The continued work of the Professional Accountants in Business (PAIB) and Small & Medium Sized Practitioners (SMP)

Committees to better meet the needs of our members;

• Affiliate & Student surveys to better understand the needs of our stakeholders;

• Signing of a three (3) year “twinning” agreement with the Suriname Institute of Chartered Accountants (SUVA) to aid in

their development;

• Engagement of the World Bank to prepare a Report of Standard of Compliance (ROSC) on the level of compliance with

International Accounting and Auditing Standards in Trinidad and Tobago;

• Sustained growth in our membership base during the term, which stands at 1,102 members;

• Extensive work in the review and rewrite of our Rules and Regulations;

• Hosting of two successful regional and international conferences;

• Hosting of our first Accountancy Career Fair;

• Continued stakeholder outreach whereby meetings were held with the Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago, the Financial

Intelligence Unit, the Bankers Association of Trinidad and Tobago, our members and students in Tobago including senior

officials at the Tobago House of Assembly;

• Initiation of an exercise to evaluate and make effective proposals to the Government of the Republic of Trinidad & Tobago

(GORTT) to introduce Alternative Dispute Resolution as part of the process governing the adjudication and settlement of

issues between the Board of Inland Revenue and taxpayers;

• Engagement of the International Public Sector Standards Accounting Board (IPSAB) to assist ICATT with the adoption of

International Public Sector Standards of Accounting (IPSAS);

• Hosting of a successful Carnival Cruise for our members and students;

Financial OverviewFor the financial year 2011, revenue from members’ subscriptions increased by 3%.The overall increase of 4% in the ‘Other

Income’ revenue category is mainly attributable to a 57% increase in income from the sale of publications. However, the main

contributor to the surplus of $77k is a reduction of 13% in overall expenses.

The chart below illustrates the Institute’s income categories.

ICATT - annual report 2011

At the year end 2011 the accumulated fund stood at $2.2million (2010:$2.1 million). Short-term liquid assets amounted to $1.4

million (2010:$1.3 million). The net equity position provides coverage for approximately four months of activity.

Stakeholder FocusIn ICATT’s continued efforts to participate in events that will benefit our members, we hosted a series of meetings in 2011/2012

with various stakeholders. Our first major event was a breakfast seminar jointly hosted with the ACCA on the Changing Regulatory

Framework in Trinidad and Tobago as it Relates to Proceeds of Crime & Related Matters. Attendees heard presentations from ICATT

Representatives; Directors of the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU); Financial Investigations Branch, SAUTT & Representatives of

the Board of Inland Revenue. ICATT continues to provide guidance to members in this area.

In April 2011, the Executive Committee of ICATT held a meeting with representatives of accounting firms to discuss the problems

associated with the future functioning of the Tax Appeal Board of Trinidad and Tobago. The major issues discussed were the backlog

of matters to be considered by the Board and the implications of tax appeal issues that are not being resolved. Prior to the development

of a recommendation plan, it was felt that some collaboration should take place to discuss the topic with key stakeholders and to

solicit their views. A notable feature of this process will be an address by Justice Adrian Saunders of the Caribbean Court of Justice

on the introduction of Alternative Dispute Resolution from a Caribbean Business perspective in mid March 2012.

On May 3rd 2011, our General Manager and I met with Ms. Nancy Foran, Chief Executive Officer, Certified Management

Accountants (CMA) to continue discussions centred on joint strategic initiatives.

On May 25, ACCA hosted an Audit Roundtable at the Hilton Trinidad that featured industry leaders speaking on relevant topics.

ICATT moderated and facilitated a session on The Professional and Ethical Standards of Auditors in Trinidad and Tobago and

explored issues of ethics, compliance and audit practice. This session was well received and moderated by Catherine Kumar,

ICATT Member. Speakers included myself, Peter Gittens, ICATT Council Member & Colin Soo Ping Chow, ICATT Member and

a former president of ICATT.

In July 2011, ICATT was invited to become a member of the Payments System Council (PSC) chaired by the Central Bank of

Trinidad and Tobago. The PSC was established in 2002 to aid in the reformation of the National Payments system and much of its

work over the past year has been directed at promoting the use of electronic payments. In order to ensure that adequate attention

has been paid to all aspects of development of the payment system, ICATT has been approached to assist in the area of accounting

documentation and processes. ICATT Members, Ms. Pria Narinesingh and Mr. Dushyant Sookram were selected to represent the

Institute in this regard. Existing members of the PSC include, the Central Bank, the Securities & Exchange Commission, Ministry

of Finance (Treasury Division), Ministry of Public Administration, Consumer Affairs Division of the Ministry of Legal Affairs, the

Bankers’ Association of Trinidad and Tobago, private payment system operators and information communication technology (ICT)

specialists.

In August 2011, ICATT signed a three (3) year “twinning” agreement with the Suriname Institute of Chartered Accountants (SUVA),

as part of an initiative by The Institute of Chartered Accountants of the Caribbean to encourage the more developed institutes in

the region to assist in the development of the younger institutes. ICATT has since been instrumental in assisting SUVA to secure an

extension of an IDB funded project to improve compliance with international accounting and auditing standards in Suriname and

have designed two major consultancies for SUVA, namely the development of Technical Guidance Tools for use by the country’s

SME’s and another for technical assistance to develop a strategic plan and sustainability model for SUVA. For one week, SUVA’s

Project Manager, Ms. Monic Foppele, visited ICATT’s offices to be immersed in a transfer of learning, training, skills, experience

and procedures. Ms. Foppele advised at the conclusion of her trip that it was extremely beneficial and she learnt of many processes

that would benefit her Institute in its developmental stages. In January 2012, our General Manager and I journeyed to Suriname to

lead a Strategic Planning session to chart the way forward for SUVA. From all indications this was a successful exercise.

In September 2011, ICATT was engaged in the first stages of a scoping mission by the World Bank to prepare a Report of Standard of

Compliance (ROSC) on the level of compliance with International Accounting and Auditing Standards in Trinidad and Tobago. The

Innovation & Creativity towards Sustainable Growth

ROSC will confirm the country’s compliance with best international practice regarding financial reporting standards and international

auditing standards and will highlight the strength of the Country’s financial architecture. Countries’ Accounting and Auditing ROSC

are posted on the World Bank’s official website and is a frequently examined report by foreign investors wishing to invest in a

country. The preliminary report was completed and the findings are to be presented in March 2012 to various stakeholders. The

ultimate goal is the creation of a Country Action Plan.

On November 7th -9th 2011 our Council member, Kyle Rudden represented the ICAC and ICATT at the 1st Congress of Accountants

in Africa held in Nairobi. This included the presentation of a commemorative plaque from ICAC to the CEO of the Institute

of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK), the host institute, on their achievement. ICPAK has approximately 10,000

members and many opportunities exist for the continued strengthening of this relationship between our Institutes.

In December 2011, ICATT partnered with the Trinidad and Tobago Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (TTEITI) Steering

Committee to host a free information workshop on a possible accounting consultancy opportunity for our practising members.

In early 2012, the Ministry of Energy & Energy Affairs of Trinidad and Tobago, with funding from The World Bank, will issue a

Request for Proposals for an individual or accounting firm to provide the services of the Administrator of Trinidad and Tobago’s

first EITI Reconciliation Report. The Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) is a global initiative with the objective

of fostering transparency and accountability in the extractive (oil, gas, mining) industries by disclosing to citizens of a country

the payments made by companies to host governments reconciled with the government’s declared receipts. The initiative aims at

ensuring that (a) figures are certified, validated and accessible to citizens and (b) investors know that they are operating on a level

playing field. The result is that the EITI contributes to consolidating and improving governance in resource rich countries, fights

corruption, reduces conflicts and encourages increased foreign direct investment.

As a candidate country of the EITI, Trinidad and Tobago has undertaken the rigorous task of becoming EITI compliant by 28th

August 2013. A critical first step on that journey is the preparation of a Reconciliation Report of payments and receipts of all

energy sector revenues and its translation into a document for wide dissemination and understanding by the average citizen on how

the revenues they produce flow from companies to the Government. The experience has been that that EITI Implementation has

increased the need for audit and other accountancy services by extractive industry companies on preparation for this annual report.

At the international level, ICATT continues to make strides. ICATT Council member, Peter Gittens and I completed a successful

mission to London in September 2011 where we met with the senior executive team of the ACCA, attended the annual meeting of

the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) World Standard Setters Conference and met with Ms. Jane Fuller, head of an

accounting “Think Tank” project in innovations in financial reporting. Ms. Jane Fuller delivered a keynote presentation in November

2011 at our Annual International Conference. ICATT and ACCA have agreed to sign a Memorandum of Understanding governing

several areas of the relationship between the two (2) bodies. At the World Standard Setters Conference, ICATT formally proposed

the establishment of an appropriate set of accounting standards for micro enterprises and gained support for the initiative from a

number of other accounting bodies around the world.

Additionally, as part of our member obligations, ICATT continues to work closely with the International Federation of Accountants

(IFAC), the global regulatory organisation for accountants, of which ICATT is a member, to implement the Institute’s action plan for

full compliance with the Statements of Members’ Obligations (SMO’s). In November 2011, Mr. Joseph Bryson, Technical Manager,

Member Body Development, IFAC visited Trinidad to speak at our annual conference and meet with ICAC Executives and CEOs to

assist with the preparation of IFAC’s Action Plan. ICATT’s revised action plan was completed in November 2011 and is available for

viewing on IFAC’s and ICATT’s websites. IFAC’s SMO’s are intended to ensure that member bodies implement international best

practice in seven (7) fundamental areas, to ensure an orderly, developed and regulated accountancy profession globally. The goal of

IFAC’s compliance program is to clearly demonstrate its commitment to strengthen the accountancy profession around the world

as well as to encourage continuous improvement in the practice of accountancy through an ongoing assessment of member bodies.

ICATT - annual report 2011

ICATT was also represented at IFAC’s Annual General Meeting held in Berlin, Germany by myself and Vice President, Derek

Mohammed. We both used the opportunity to deepen ICATT’s relationship with this key stakeholder and to build linkages with other

professional accountancy bodies around the world as we continue to demonstrate our commitment to the development of a sound

global profession.

In closing 2011, ICATT hosted two networking events, our 3rd instalment of the South Networking Cocktail & Member Recognition

ceremony at the Royal Hotel, San Fernando on November 23rd where members from South based companies were in attendance

along with recently joined members. On December 9th, ICATT’s offices were filled with laughter and good cheer as committee

members were hosted by your President at our annual end of year luncheon. ICATT extends best wishes and thanks to those

members that have dedicated their time and effort throughout the year.

In January 2012, ICATT and ACCA jointly hosted a tuition provider meeting directed at addressing the concerns of this integral

stakeholder. From all reports this was a successful exercise which we will repeat in the near future.

February 2012 was a busy month for the Institute as we embarked on a Tobago Stakeholder Visit on February 2nd to meet with

officials from the Tobago House of Assembly in the areas of education and finance as well as meet with our members and students

resident in Tobago. Some key concerns raised were the lack of tuition providers on the island to service interested students as well

as the need for more trained professional accountants in Tobago. ICATT also proposed to work more closely with the THA to

provide increased training for employees and advise on best practice methods of reporting. This visit was a successful venture and

ICATT hopes to host other events of this kind in the near future. An action plan following the outcome of this initial visit is also to

be developed.

On February 9th 2012, ICATT hosted an after work Carnival Cruise for members and students that was well received on the Pier 1,

Sea Prowler in Chaguaramas. The Institute hopes to make it an annual event.

On February 15th 2012, ICATT hosted a joint meeting with the Bankers’ Association of Trinidad and Tobago (BATT) to discuss

the issues affecting timely financial reporting in Trinidad & Tobago. Other key attendees included the Chamber of Industry and

Commerce. Action items arising out of this session are to meet with stakeholders to raise awareness on the importance of financial

reporting and banks to insist that their clients provide the relevant documents such as management accounts, financial statements

and audited statements dependent on the level of transactions to secure loans.

In February 2012, ICATT met with members of the Financial Intelligence Unit of Trinidad and Tobago (FIU) to discuss the

submission of compliance programmes by listed companies in keeping with FIU’s regulations. ICATT continues to advise members

on developments in this area.

On March 6th 2012, ICATT’s Executive Committee met with the Inspector of Financial Institutions and a Team representing the

Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago (CBTT) to discuss the FOR 10 and the need for a closer working relationship between the

CBTT and ICATT. It was agreed in principle that both organizations should meet periodically to discuss and implement matters of

mutual interest.

In 2011, we engaged the expertise of the International Public Sector Standards Accounting Board (IPSAB) to assist ICATT with the

adoption of International Public Sector Standards of Accounting (IPSAS). In March 2012, Mr. Ron Salole, Vice President, Standards,

at the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants will visit Trinidad and Tobago to host two seminars advising on best practice for

Public Sector reporting as guided by the International Federation of Accountants. Mr. Salole is a member of the International Public

Sector Accounting Standards Board and an active CICA Representative on several International standard setting activities.

Innovation & Creativity towards Sustainable Growth

Annual General Meeting & Members’ Induction CeremonyOn Thursday 24th March 2011, ICATT welcomed new members to the Institute who joined over the period of November 2010 to

February 2011 in a special presentation ceremony at the Courtyard by Marriott, Invader’s Bay in Port of Spain. Approximately 69

persons joined the Institute over the period bringing our membership total to approximately 1000 persons. Inductees were specially

welcomed by our new General Manager, Subert Gilbert.

Prior to the recognition ceremony, ICATT held its 41st Annual General Meeting where three new members were elected to council and

one member re-elected, they were: New Council Members: Nicole Joseph, FCCA, Senior Manager – Tax Services at KPMG; David

Raggay, Managing Principal of IFRS Consultants; Amarjit Chadee, FCCA,CA, Managing Partner, Hardys Chartered Accountants.

Re-elected Council Member: Marlene Murray, B.Sc., M.Sc., CA, CFA who was previously appointed to Council in 2009. At the

Council meeting immediately following the AGM, Anthony Pierre was re-elected President for a third term, Derek Mohammed was

elected Vice President and Rudranand Maharaj was elected 2nd Vice President.

ICATT’s Professional Accountants In Business (PAIB) CommitteeIn an effort to improve the services offered to our members and in keeping with global professional accounting bodies, ICATT

launched the Professional Accountants in Business Committee (PAIB committee) in 2008. These individuals represent the majority

of our membership. The purpose of the committee is to reach out to and serve the professional accountants in Trinidad & Tobago

who work in industry, commerce, education and non-profit organizations. The PAIB committee continues to focus on exposing

professional accountants to global developments, good practice guidance and knowledge sharing that will enhance the role and

domain of professional accountants in business.

The PAIB committee sees itself providing a vital link in assisting the professional accountant in Trinidad & Tobago to understand

their new role in recent times and assist in the evolution of the accounting professional. In its quest to provide relevant, meaningful

service, the PAIB committee will be working very closely with the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC), the Association

of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) and other recognized global accounting bodies who have all already identified the need

to focus on the professional accountant in business. The committee was headed by Council Member, Earl Wilson. Since its inception

the committee has hosted two successful seminars on International Taxation and continues to contribute informative and relevant

articles to ICATT’s quarterly newsletter.

Students’ Accountancy Centre’s 25th AnniversaryICATT was a proud Titanium sponsor of the Students’ Accountancy Centre’s 25th Anniversary celebration held in March 2011.

Many of ICATT’s members can attest to attending classes at SAC as well as meeting lifelong friends at the Institution. ICATT’s

General Manager, Subert Gilbert brought remarks on behalf of the Institute and acknowledged that SAC’s tutelage has produced

many men and women who have gone on to make major contributions to industry, the society and the region.

Additionally, I received a special recognition award at the ceremony as a former lecturer at SAC. Ms. Brenda Lee Tang, Head,

ACCA Caribbean and myself were privileged to raise a toast on behalf of attendees to Edward Yee Fung and the SAC Team.

Membership For the 2011 term, ICATT recorded a growth of 94 new members over the period January 1st to December 31st 2011.

In the first quarter of 2012 January 1st to March 9th, we recorded a further growth of 26 members to the Institute. We

continue to engage in dialogue with our members through e-surveys and seminar evaluations to stay in touch with member

needs. For 2012 we propose to offer increased CPD and social events targeted towards all aspects of our membership

as well as the development of more tangible member benefits. Total membership at the end of the year was as follows:

ICATT - annual report 2011

Operational UpdatesICATT made some operational changes through the appointment of a General Manager in March 2011, Mr. Subert Gilbert, CISA.

Subert brings over three decades of experience to ICATT and is a former Director of Tax Administration and Assistant Commissioner

at the Inland Revenue Division, Ministry of Finance. He was also employed at the Office of the Integrity Commission as an

Investigating Analyst. Subert continues to work closely with the ICATT team to streamline operations for maximum performance.

Over the course of 2011, the internal security of the secretariat was upgraded to include security cameras and an OSHA and HSE

initiative was also launched for the safety of staff. Training continues in this area.

Communication was upgraded to include the use of Skype, Magic Jack and enhanced conference calling at the Institute.

An employee of the month programme was launched and implemented at the Institute in 2011 to recognize those staff members

going above and beyond duty. Employees recognized were, Ariel Burgin, Oneika Bushell, Barry Bishop, Gizelle Gittens, Camille

Applewhaite and Kyzier Foster. In December 2011, at the President’s Christmas Dinner and Staff Appreciation Function,

Ms. Gizelle Gittens, Senior Customer Service Representative was named the employee of the year overall. Mrs. Avion Alves

– Rollock, Accountant was presented with an “Award of Appreciation” and Ms. Oneika Bushell, Marketing and Corporate

Communications Officer was presented with a “Recognition Award” for the commendable role she played towards the success of

the 2011 International Conference. This event was a resounding success and congratulations are extended to all.

In October 2011, ICATT embarked on the creation of a Past President’s Wall in the Institute’s conference room, featuring photos,

names and years of service. We are pleased that this exercise has been completed.

On October 29th 2011, the Trinidad and Tobago Group of Professional Associations (TTGPA) of which ICATT is a member, hosted

its annual fundraiser, the Professional Culinary Classics at the Centre of Excellence, Macoya. ICATT’s Team placed 4th overall

out of 18 entrants under the theme ‘Ah Countin’ on Curry’. We also received the 3rd place for best decorations (Traditional Indian

Wedding) and 3rd place for best tasting dish. Part proceeds of this event went to the Mt. Carmel Nursery and Day Care Centre,

which is badly termite ridden and in dire need of renovations and a new roof structure. The estimated cost of these works is over

TT$600,000. The team was led by Mr. Robby Bhola of Deloitte of ICATT’s Members’ & Student’s Relations Committee, special

thanks are extended to him.

In November 2011, ICATT officially announced our Cashless Policy. Payments will only be accepted via cheques, direct deposits

& payments by credit and debit cards at our point of sale terminals.

Additionally in November 2011, ICATT put forward an application for receipt of a parcel of land that is presently before the

ministries of finance and agriculture for consideration. On acceptance, this area will be used to build a permanent home for the

Institute.

ICATT is engaged in the process of updating our website to better service our stakeholders. This exercise will be completed by the

end of the first quarter of 2012.

Practice Monitoring2011 marked ICATT’s third year of Practice Monitoring which is an obligation for member bodies of the International Federation of

Accountants (IFAC) as outlined in its Statement of Membership Obligations (SMO). These Quality Assurance reviews are intended

to serve the interest of the public and the Practice Monitoring process involves visiting licensed auditors/ firms and reviewing their

audit files. The review process provides guidance to firms/ practitioners regarding deficiencies within their practice and making

recommendations in order to effect improvements. To date, a total of 52 visits have been completed since the onset of the initiative.

In 2011, 27 visits were completed overall which included 12 first time visits and 15 follow up visits. The outstanding 14 firms

eligible for first time visits will be completed by the end of the first quarter in 2012.

Innovation & Creativity towards Sustainable Growth

To address gaps uncovered during these reviews, ICATT held its third installation of one-on-one training sessions with Michael Scott

of PCP UK Limited entitled Clarity ISA and Practical Problems Two-Day Workshop. The session was designed to help participants

implement the requirements of the new clarified International Standards of Auditing and address monitoring issues. The workshop

focused on providing a practical understanding of the clarified standards and used case study examples. Two sessions were held at

the Arthur Lok Jack GSB facility and Royal Hotel in San Fernando.

ConferencesICATT was a part of four major conferences throughout the year. In June, over seventy (70) professional accountants from

Trinidad and Tobago represented ICATT at the Institute of Chartered Accountants of the Caribbean’s (ICAC) Annual General

Meeting and conference in Kingston. Your President, was elected secretary to the board of ICAC at the Board meeting following

the AGM. I was first appointed to the ICAC Board in October 2009 and currently represent ICAC as Director on the Board of the

Caribbean Association of Industry and Commerce (CAIC). ICATT currently holds the chair of ICAC’s technical committee and in

this regard is responsible for a number of initiatives around the Caribbean region involving the advancement of best international

practice by regional accountants. The 30th instalment of the conference in June 2012 will be held in Antigua from June 21st to 23rd

under the theme, Playing to Win: Bowling Over the Challenges. As usual the continued success of this event depends on a large

contingent of Trinidad and Tobago members and I encourage you all to attend.

In July 2011, ICATT partnered with the Caribbean Association of Audit Committee Members Inc. (CAACM) to co- host the 5th

Annual Meeting & Conference at the HYATT Regency in Port of Spain under the theme Adding Value, Not Bureaucracy: The Role

of the Audit Committee in Assessing Your Business Risk Profile, Risk Priorities & Governance Structures. The event marked the first

ever Audit Committee conference in Trinidad and Tobago and featured international and regional delegates from over 12 countries

and a feature address by The Honourable Winston Dookeran, Minister of Finance. The conference brought together some major

players in the Region to discuss the role of the Audit committee in moving an organisation forward while encouraging an exchange

of ideas and solutions to address common issues. ICATT was pleased to be at the forefront of such a major event in Trinidad and

Tobago.

In early September 2011, we were a joint partner with the ACCA in hosting the ACCA/ICATT SME forum. The event was well

attended and was aimed at exploring the issues relevant to the sustainability of small and medium enterprises in the Caribbean while

seeking to strengthen their innovative capacity.

Our Annual International Accounting and Finance Conference was held on November 2nd & 3rd 2011 at the HYATT Regency in

Port-of-Spain with over 200 participants. The conference brought together dynamic international, regional and local presenters who

spoke to the theme of Innovations in Business Financial Reporting and Governance. Attendees were treated to addresses by the

Honourable Senator, Dr. Bhoendradatt Tewarie, Minister of Planning & the Economy who spoke on Sustainable Growth in the Non-

Energy Sectors of Trinidad & Tobago, as well as keynote remarks by Dr. The Honourable Timothy Harris, Senior Minister and Minister

of International Trade, Industry, Commerce, Consumer Affairs, Agriculture, Marine Resources and Constituency Empowerment, St.

Kitts & Nevis speaking on Forging a new Paradigm in the Caribbean: Innovation, Creativity and Competitiveness Towards A New

Caribbean Economic Order. Special thanks are extended to our valued sponsors and other contributors for their continued support.

ICATT - annual report 2011

Student FocusWe conducted two e-surveys with our affiliate and student members over a three week period from January to February 2011. The

objective of the surveys was to determine feedback on the service ICATT provides and how we could better meet the needs of these

important stakeholders. Approximately 6,000 students & approximately 1,000 affiliates were invited to participate in the survey

which gave us much food for thought as we develop the necessary products and services.

In the area of education, ICATT and ACCA jointly hosted a student technical session in February 2011 on Calculation and

Interpretation of Accounting Ratios and Trends facilitated by Mr. Haseeb Mohammed of PwC who is one of the foremost experts

in this field. The objectives of the session were to help improve students’ overall performance by providing the tools and techniques

for improved performance with regards to the ACCA paper F7. These sessions are part of ICATT and ACCA’s ongoing efforts to

provide more value to our students while ensuring success at the exam level. In March 2012, we will host a technical session on

Consolidations for students.

In February 2011, I visited Speyside High School in Tobago to speak with the first ever cohort of CAPE A’ Level students at the

school on careers in accounting and other issues that exist in the financial services sector. This was the first such visit to Tobago

by ICATT in recent times and is part of our thrust to promote the benefits and opportunities that exist in the profession to students.

In July 2011, ICATT held the Nation’s first ever Accountancy Career Fair entitled, A Professional Development Forum. The event

was targeted towards secondary school students, persons pursuing accountancy studies and professionals wishing to enter the

Accountancy profession. The whole day event featured exhibition booths from over 10 top Accountancy firms, Accountancy schools

and designatory bodies. Attendees were privy to career opportunities, interview and dress tips and the many avenues available to

persons wishing to pursue Accountancy in Trinidad and Tobago. We hope to have a repeat of this event in 2012 in both Trinidad and

Tobago.

In December 2011, ACCA and ICATT jointly hosted our annual Recognition Ceremony that honoured successful candidates and top

performers of the June 2009, December 2009 and June 2010 examinations from Trinidad and Tobago and the Eastern Caribbean.

Congratulations are extended to all prize winners and thanks to our valuable sponsors.

Continuing Professional DevelopmentICATT was able to offer members and non-members alike a comprehensive number of CPD sessions for 2011/2012. We began

in February with updates on Current Positioning of Exposure Drafts with respect to Revenue recognition, Defined Benefit Plans,

Liabilities & Consolidation. This half day workshop was facilitated by Haseeb Mohammed of PricewaterhouseCoopers.

In March two workshops were hosted: Succession Planning, Estate Planning & Investment and our annual Taxation Workshops.

Facilitated by Bob Gopee, Managing Partner of Bob Gopee & Associates Chartered Accountants and Trevor Philip, Director, Trust &

Estate Planning Resource Limited, the Succession Planning workshop addressed the issues of arming accountants with information

to better service their clients on traditionally cross-border subjects, namely estate planning and investments - naturally the purview

of financial advisers and investment consultants. The Taxation workshops were hosted by Rupert Gooding, Chartered Accountant

Tax Consultant & Attorney-At-Law who addressed the Scope of Trinidad & Tobago Tax Legislation & Practice.

In April we partnered with ACCA to host two events. They were, The Changing Regulatory Framework in Trinidad and Tobago as

it Relates to Proceeds of Crime & Related Matters. Attendees heard presentations from ICATT Representatives; Directors of the

Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU); Financial Investigations Branch, SAUTT & Representatives of the Board of Inland Revenue. The

second was a one day workshop on Forensic Accounting & Fraud facilitated by Mark Thompson, Forensic Investigations Director

at Duncan & Toplis, an East Midlands, UK based firm of chartered accountants. Participants were exposed to: Forensic accounting

legal framework, Fraud landscape – regulatory bodies, private sector organisation; Evidence, note taking and disclosure; Financial

analysis techniques; Forensic report writing; Money laundering and asset recovery.

In May, as a follow-up to a half day workshop conducted by Haseeb Mohammed in December 2010, ICATT hosted a half-day

liabilities; Overview of the exposure draft on Leasing issued in August 2010 and further updates on Exposure draft on leasing based

on IASB/FASB Board deliberations.

In August 2011, we held an International Taxation workshop facilitated by Mr. Merlin Sergeant, Former Chairman, Board of Inland

Revenue that was well subscribed.

In early September 2011, we were a joint partner with ACCA in hosting the ACCA/ICATT SME forum while the second joint event

was another well received two- day event on International Financial Reporting Standards and International Standards of Auditing

-2011 Update held at the Trinidad Hilton. The event was facilitated by Mr. Nagin Lad of ACCA UK.

In January 2012, ICATT once again hosted a successful International Taxation Workshop facilitated by Mr. Merlin Sergeant, Former

Chairman, Board of Inland Revenue.

In February 2012, ICATT hosted a Public Speaking Developmental Workshop For Finance Professionals, facilitated by Ms. Janice

Learmond- Criqui, a Professional Life coach and motivational speaker. This event was well received as it aimed at targeting an often

overlooked area of development. A follow-up session is carded to be held in April 2012 that will provide training in Presentation

Skills.

On February 9th 2012, ICATT was a supporting partner with the Certified Management Accountants (CMA) of Canada to host a

seminar on Scenario Planning: Navigating Through Today’s Uncertain World that was well subscribed. The seminar was

facilitated by Brett Knowles, MBA, CMC who over the last 25 years has established a global reputation for his work in the

performance measurement and management area.

In March 2012, ICATT will host our annual Two Day Taxation Workshop facilitated by Mr. Rupert Gooding, Chartered Accountant,

Tax Consultant & Attorney at Law. Additionally, ICATT will host two seminars advising on best practice for Public Sector Reporting

as guided by the International Federation of Accountants facilitated by Ron Salole, a member of the International Public Sector

Accounting Standards Board.

ConclusionAs I close, I thank you for the support you have given your Institute over the past year and encourage you to maintain this thrust

in the years to come. As I prepare to hand over the presidency, I am satisfied that a sound foundation has been laid for its growth,

sustainability and development. I place on record the efforts and initiatives of my predecessors, Kyle Rudden, Angela Lee Loy and

Sean Ramirez in this regard. I am privileged to have served at the helm of ICATT over the past year and while the challenges were

many, so too were the opportunities. I wish to thank my fellow Council members, committee members and the dedicated staff of the

Institute for their continued support in seeking to meet the needs of our members. Best wishes for 2012.

Those standards require thatwe complywithethicalrequirementsandplanandperformtheaudittoobtainreasonableassurancewhethertheFinancialStatements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements 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 Council, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

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

Its registered office and principal place of business is located on 2nd Floor, Building A, Professional Centre, 11-13 Fitzblackman Drive South, Woodbrook, Port-of-Spain.

2 Significant accounting policies

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting StandardsforSmallandMedium-sizedEntities(IFRSforSMEs)issuedbytheInternationalAccountingStandards Board.

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

2.1 Basis of preparation

This is disclosed in note 2.2.

2.2 Property and equipment

Property and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulatedimpairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. TheInstituteaddstothecarryingamountofanitemofpropertyandequipmentthecostofreplacingpartsof such an item when that cost is incurred if the replacement part is expected to provide incremental future benefits to the Institute; the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised.

All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of comprehensive income during the period in which they are incurred. Depreciation on other assets is charged so as to allocate the cost over their estimated useful lives as follows.

Office premises – 2% straight line basisOfficeequipment – 20%reducingbalancebasisComputerequipment – 33.33%reducingbalancebasisFurniture, fixtures and fittings – 10% reducing balance basis

2 Significant accounting policies (continued)

2.2 Property and equipment (continued)

The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

2.3 Impairment of non-financial assets other than inventories

Ateachreportingdate,propertyandequipmentarereviewedtodeterminewhetherthereisanyindicationthat those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If there is an indication of possible impairment, the recoverable amount of any affected asset (or group of related assets) is estimated and compared with its carrying amount. If the estimated recoverable amount is lower, the carrying amount is reduced to its estimated recoverable amount and an impairment loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

2.4 Inventories

Inventories comprising publications for resale are stated at the lower of cost or estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. At each reporting date, inventories are assessed for impairment. If inventory is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell, the impairment loss is recognised immediately in the statement of comprehensive income.

2.5 Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. All collections from sales are expected in one year or less and are classified as current assets.

Accounts receivable are initially recognisedat the transactionprice.Theyare subsequentlymeasuredatamortised cost using the effective interest method less provision for impairment. A provision for impairment of accounts receivable is established when there is objective evidence that the Institute will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

2.10 Foreign currency translation

a) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of the Institute are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Institute operates (‘the functional currency’). These financial statements are presented in Trinidad and Tobago Dollars (TTD), which is the Institute’s functional and presentation currency.

2.10 Foreign currency translation (continued)

b) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into 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 statement of comprehensive income. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within other income.

2.11 Revenue

Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and services in the ordinary course of the Institute’s activities and it is recognised on an accrual basis.

2.11.1 Subscription income

Student and membership subscriptions are initially recorded as deferred revenue and recognised on a straight-line basis over the reporting period.

2.11.2 Interest income

Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method.

2.12 Taxation

The primary activities of the Institute are of an educational nature and therefore are not liable to corporation tax. The Institute is however subject to the Green Fund Levy paid at the rate of 0.1% of gross revenue.

2.13 Employee benefit obligations

Pension obligation

The Institute has a defined contribution plan. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Institute pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.

The Institute pays contributions to publicly or privately administered pension insurance plans on a mandatory or contractual basis. The contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as an asset.
