PRESIDENT’S REPORT Dear friends and colleagues of the Olympic movement

in Western Australia.

I stand before you today as we embark on one of the

most difficult fundraising challenges the Western

Australian Olympic Council (WAOC) has faced in its long

history in Western Australia.

Whilst the content of the report I am about to hand

down focuses on the 2014 calendar year, we find

ourselves here late in April, some 15 months away from

the commencement of the Rio Olympic Games which

commence in Brazil on the 5th August 2016.

FUNDRAISING

We are fresh off working with the Australian

Commonwealth Games Association WA Division

(ACGAWA) in meeting their fundraising target of

$150,000 to send off last year’s Australian

Commonwealth Games Team and find ourselves in

Western Australia in a climate of economic uncertainty

which makes our target a tremendous challenge for our

WA Team Appeal Committee (TAC), the WAOC

Executive and our office.

Nevertheless it’s a challenge which we accept and we

will pursue with vigor.

We accept the baton and the fundraising challenge

knowing our partners in the joint office, the ACGAWA,

achieved success, highlighted by their ultimate

fundraising event, the ‘Team Send‐Off Dinner’.

The funds raised contributed to the ACGA national

fundraising target of $6.5 million, and enabled WA

athletes and official to attend the XX Commonwealth

Games in Glasgow. It was delivered through yet another

successful event fundraising campaign anchored by our

WATAC under the Chairmanship of J Barrey Williams

and his Deputy Chair Graham Moss, and resulted in the

ACGAWA team appeal target of $150,000 being

achieved. Much more will be said about the ACGAWA

fundraising campaign by my colleague and WAOC Vice

President Gratton Wilson in his annual report to the

ACGAWA membership.

As advised at the WAOC AGM last year, the joint

arrangement with the ACGAWA sees our fundraising

program as a cyclical process whereby in the first two

years we seek funds for the ACGAWA team appeal and

in the following two years in the lead up to the

Olympics, we seek funds for the WAOC team appeal on

behalf of the Australian Olympic Committee.

As a result we now face the challenge of raising a

further $800,000 over the next 18 months to support

the athletes and officials of the Australian Olympic

Team bound for Rio in 2016.

The WAOC does however have a broader charter than

just fundraising.

The WAOC was established in 1947 and played a vital

role in that year in raising funds to support WA athletes

selected for the 1948 Olympic Games.

It has since continued helping local WA athletes and

officials to this day, and continues to work with athletes

of all ages maintaining and promoting the ideals of the

Olympic movement through the AOC Olympic Education

Program, conduct of the Pierre de Coubertin Awards,

and reaching out to the youth of Western Australia,

thus ensuring the Olympic sport traditions and values

are used to teach life values and life skills. Our WA

Olympians continue to meet with the community in

various forums and are recognized for the positive

impact their participation in sport has on life and

particularly in the eyes of the younger generation.

We are however as I said, fundamentally committed to

achieving financial support to enable WA athletes to

pursue their dreams. It is therefore important to note

that 100 % of the funds raised in WA go to the

Australian Olympic Team Appeal, thereby further

spreading the message and values of the Olympic

movement.

STAFFING AND RESOURCES

It is because fundraising is such a key element of the

WAOC’s program of activities, that we continue to

pursue events and business houses that can successfully

support the achievement of our target.


Notwithstanding, the recruitment of capable and

professional staff and ‘high profile’ business leaders is a

challenge, but one that is fundamental to us achieving

our success.

As reported last year, we undertook a review and

embarked on reestablishing a sole Executive Officer in

the joint office with contract administrative support.

This not only enabled a rationalization of employment

costs but refocused the energy of the WAOC and

ACGAWA Joint Executive on the fundraising element of

our respective organisations.

With the focus on event delivery and fundraising, we

recruited a former member of the WATAC in Jeff Healy

in late 2013 and subsequently, during 2014, his business

partner Anita Bell as Event Manager. Jeff brought

knowledge and experience to the role particularly in the

area of marketing and promotion. However from Jeff’s

perspective, the broader aspects of the role were not as

challenging as expected and it was with regret that we

saw both he and Anita leave the office during quarter 3

last year to pursue greater personal business

challenges. In the interim both played a significant role

in delivering the ACGAWA fundraising target

culminating with the successful delivery of the Team

Send‐Off Dinner.

Since their departure after that event, and in

recognition of the significant economic circumstance

WA finds itself, it was appropriate that we as the WAOC

Executive question our capacity and resources to deliver

our $800,000 fundraising target.

To that end, I took the action of approaching the AOC

with a view to seeking their support in recruiting

membership and support of the WA Team Appeal

Committee to deliver what I believe remains an

imposing, yet achievable target. That approach is

currently coming to fruition and I am confident of being

able to announce a significant addition to the

Committee and a restructure which will see more hands

on support, particularly in the area of ticket sales and

member business recruitment.

Further, as a result of an extended staff recruitment

search we will shortly be announcing a new Executive

Officer to oversee the functions and duties of the WAOC

office and to manage the successful delivery of Team

Appeal Committee events.

Suffice to say, the hiatus in delivery of the changes for

the WATAC and the office of the ACGA/WA and the

WAOC, have required significant time contribution from

both myself and ACGAWA President Gratton Wilson as

we have strived to create a sustainable organizational

structure which will deliver our core business outcome

in what are demanding economic times.

I thank Gratton for his significant commitment to the

joint office and service as President of the ACGAWA and

Vice President of the WAOC. I know he stands down to

enable appropriate commitment to his family and

business interests and I look forward to working with his

successor. Gratton’s nomination to Life Membership of

the ACGAWA is well deserved after over 20 years of

commitment.

The ACGAWA / WAOC office having been restructured

to a new single operational and fundraising structure

with contracted expertise where required, will provide

a cohesive and productive one stop shop for all our

internal and external stakeholders. Furthermore, our

office relocation to the new WAIS building will place us

in everyday contact with many of those stakeholders

and we are grateful to WAIS for offering us the

opportunity to reside in their new facility at a time

when our former hosts Channel 7 Perth Pty Ltd at Tuart

Hill, are consolidating under one roof with parent

Company Seven West Media in Osborne Park.

We are eternally grateful for the long standing support

of Channel 7 which has seen the WAOC operate rent

free for in excess of a decade.


OPERATIONS

Financial

Financially the WAOC achieved a modest surplus in

2014 largely as a result of operating without an

Executive Director and Fundraising Manager over the

last quarter. Our AOC funding continues to be capped at

28% of target fundraising income, and along with our

Contract for Services funding through the Department

of Sport and Recreation (DSR) remains the only income

source to sustain our office.

As member organizations, I put a call out to you, your

volunteers, your Olympic alumni and program partners

to assist us in sustaining our programs and activities. I

urge you to contact our office and introduce yourselves

as members, athletes, alumni or TAC members to our

new EO and assist them by providing any advice,

support or contacts that may assist us in delivering our

business objectives.

I refer you to our financial report for further detail on

our financial position for 2014.

Joint Office

The joint office arrangements pursued over the last 2

quadrennials, have transformed the way we operate

and provide significant benefits to both organisations,

including a joint office venue located in WA’s major

sporting precinct and central to WA business, joint

staffing arrangements, access to professional personnel

and office equipment, and storage facilities for

memorabilia and heritage items.

Membership

The WAOC now has membership totaling 26 Constituent

Sports, 7 Recognized Sports and 3 Associate Sports.

Quite appropriately, State Sporting Organizations

(SSO’s) sometimes question the relevance of the WAOC

in today’s sporting environment and I’m reassured that

they recognize and acknowledge not only the local

presence of the Olympic movement in WA, but the

support, recognition, promotion and fundraising that

we deliver directly for their athletes and with their

athletes, as they purse their Olympic aspirations.

The WAOC Executive nevertheless is keen to further

engage with member sports and have them more

directly involved in achieving our fundraising target as

the funding so raised directly benefits their athletes

participation in the Olympic arena.

If member sports are able to assist by raising funds

towards the WAOC’s team appeal target, we would be

only too willingly to promote and acknowledge your

contribution..

Australian Olympic Committee

As President of the WAOC I again took the opportunity

to attend the AOC AGM and State Olympic Council

Workshops.

As such the magnitude of the AOCs' operations have

become more transparent to me in recent years, and I

find the opportunity for information sharing and

exchange of ideas and initiatives with the AOC staff and

other SOC’s invaluable.

To that end I have also taken the opportunity to ensure

our office staff attend as well and get an induction with

the AOC Sydney office and staff and become more

familiar with the AOC administration and financial

systems.

Liane Tooth in her capacity as President of the WA

Olympians Cub of Australia also attended the Olympians

Club AGM in 2014 and has by way of separate report in

this annual report, advised of initiatives and activities

happening at national level to the WA chapter.

Western Australian Institute of Sport (WAIS)

We continue to have an excellent and strong

relationship with WAIS and have worked closely with

them in maintaining the currency and accuracy of our

respective athlete databases as their program athletes

aspire to become ‘Olympians’, and also in maintaining

our ongoing relationships with those who have already

achieved Olympian status.


Through our relationship with DSR and WAIS we now

look forward to being co‐located in the new WAIS

facilities which aside from staff office accommodation

requirements, will ensure our proximity to stakeholders

and athletes within the WA sporting system, and also

provide secure containment of our heritage and

museum pieces which are part of the WAOC Olympic

memorabilia collection.

Department of Sport and Recreation: Contract for

Service

Our ongoing Contract for Service with the WA

Department of Sport and Recreation (DSR), articulates

areas of common interest and activity where the joint

office of the WAOC (along with the ACGAWA) is best

placed to deliver on outcomes. We thank the

Department for its ongoing support and discuss some of

the KRA areas below:

KEY RESULT AREAS

Governance

Throughout the year we continued to progress

organisational governance and management practices

with a key focus being the review of respective

constitutions, strategic plan objectives and staffing

arrangements going forward. In addition we maintain

appropriate financial reporting, an ongoing advocacy

role for the Olympic movement in WA, and

representation on relevant industry groups.

Olympic Games History, Heritage and Promotion

Maintenance of the historical information and records

of the WAOC in respect of Western Australian athlete

and officials participation at the modern Olympic Games

is a priority and we work with the AOC and the Western

Austraian Institute of Sport to maintain the currency

and accuracy of athlete participation and their progress

in pursuing selection to the coming Olympic Games. We

also maintain an accurate database of the WA alumni.

We also look forward to a presence at the proposed WA

Sports Museum but at this stage of development, I am

not in a position to update any further.

Education and Promotion

The WAOC has a solid relationship with the Olympians

Club of WA and it is so pleasing to see the continuation

of the enthusiasm and vigor that Olympian Liane Tooth

has bought to that alumni.

Wherever possible, we engage Olympians Club

members and increase their presence and exposure to

WAOC activities, regional and community events. We

also invite current ‘aspirational Olympic athletes’ to

volunteer along with Olympians Club alumni to maintain

a strong presence in the community with other athletes,

acting as role models in encouraging and motivating

participation in sporting endeavors and reinforcing

positive health messages to country and metropolitan

Western Australia through our local and regional tour

initiatives such as the Champions 2 Country regional

tour conducted in 2014 and supported by DSR funding.

Athlete Services and Development

Because of limited attendances and resourcing, we have

not continued with regional fundraising events in

association with regional tours.

Athlete and sport mentoring and advice are provided on

an as needed basis and I take the opportunity to

acknowledge the contribution of former TAC member

Howard Read in initiating our initial athlete mentoring

program way back in 2008.

Howard’s contribution to the TAC as a member and

Deputy Chair, as a member of the WAOC Executive, as a

businessman, and as wise counsel to myself will be

sorely missed and I take this opportunity to publicly

acknowledge his contribution and support.

WA TEAM APPEAL COMMITTEE AND

FUNDRAISING

As advised earlier, the WAOC Team Appeal Committee

has been capably led by Chairman and business and

community identity J Barrey Williams and his Deputy

Graham Moss. In 2013/2014 the result of that

fundraising was delivered to the ACGAWA.

As we enter the 2015/2016 fundraising period of the

quadrennial, I am pleased to advise that J Barrey has


accepted a part‐time appointment as Executive Director

of the WATAC as we re‐engage with the WA business

community in pursuit of our $800,000 target.

Whilst I am not at liberty to announce the new

chairmanship and membership of the WATAC for

2015/2016, I look forward to renewed enthusiasm and

membership within the committee as fundraising gains

momentum and we rapidly progress towards our WA

Olympic Team Members Farewell Dinner in July 2016.

Funds raised by the WATAC will contribute towards the

WAOC target and towards the $7.8 million target of the

State Olympic Councils (SOC) for and on behalf of the

AOC Team Appeal.

As in previous years, sponsorship, licensing and

marketing programs are vested in the AOC; and our

team appeal contribution is restricted to monies raised

through the conduct of high profile events, the State

Government’s 1/3 target contribution on behalf of the

Western Australian people and other donations.

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to all the

volunteer businessman and women who make up the

membership of the WATAC and look forward to their

continued support.

I again wish to acknowledge key long term supporters

the West Coast Eagles Football Club whose generous

annual contribution of $10,000 underpins the

commencement of our fundraising period.

Furthermore, I wish to

acknowledge the ongoing

support of the Carbine Club

as committed advocates for

the WAOC with their annual

fundraiser to support the

Olympic movement and

athletes in Western

Australia.

And whilst I acknowledge and appreciate the generous

contributions of the corporate partners who sit on the

WATAC, the State Governments’ ongoing commitment

of one third of our team appeal target is to be

commended in these difficult economic times. It is an

essential and welcome contribution in launching our

appeal target.

It would be remiss of me not to acknowledge the great

working relationship and indeed personal relationship I

have had with Minister ‘Tuck’ Waldron. His enthusiasm

and support for the initiatives and direction of the

WAOC have been a stabilizing influence and we have

appreciated his unwavering commitment to the cause.

We look forward to a similar fruitful arrangement with

the new Minister.

CONCLUSION

As we single mindedly progress our fundraising

objective in 2015, I look forward to further engaging

with our membership and the delivery of our renewed

TAC events program.

My appreciation goes to the staff and volunteers of

2014 including Jeff Healy and Anita Bell and to the

support contract personnel who have assisted the Joint

Office. Also the welcome return in a part‐time capacity

of Melissa Magini (nee Joss) to oversee the Regional

Tour and the production of this report and AGM.

I also extend my appreciation to the members of the

WAOC Board and Joint Executive for their unwavering

support during a difficult time and particularly thank

those retiring members. The work of the WA Team

Appeal Committee and corporate business partners is

instrumental in achieving our aims and I also thank

those supporters from the WAOC alumni, especially the

Olympians Club of WA.

I again acknowledge the contribution of Seven West

Media for the many years in providing office and

storage space and resources at Channel 7 Perth, and of

course the State Government through the Department

of Sport and Recreation and staff particularly Ron

Alexander, the retired Hon. Minister ‘Tuck’ Waldron for

his personal support, the City of Perth, the Western

Australian Institute of Sport and our patrons.


My thanks also to the AOC and staff for their

understanding and support with the changeover in staff

and administration during 2013/2014, and particularly

the support and assistance for our WATAC initiative.

Also to departing AOC staff members Craig Phillips and

Jocelyn Webb for their invaluable support and roles

during their respective tenure with the AOC, and

particular recognition and congratulations to James

Edwards, General Manager National Fundraising and

Community Programs on his new appointment. Also we

congratulate Fiona de Jong on her appointment to

Secretary General of the AOC as it embarks on new

initiatives to continue its role as a foremost leading

National Olympic Organization within the International

Olympic Committee. We look forward to the ongoing

support that her appointment has bought to the

position and the relationship with the SOC’s.

OLYMPIANS CLUB OF WA REPORT “Once an Olympian, Always an Olympian. Never Past, Never Former”

I am pleased to present the 2014 President’s Report on

behalf of the Olympians Club of WA.

The aim of the Olympians Club in WA (OCWA) is to bring

together Olympians from all eras and sports in the spirit

of the Olympic Movement. We share a unique bond as

Olympians and members of a small and elite group in

the Olympians Club.

It has been a challenging period for the OCWA Executive

with little administrative support being available from

the WAOC due to staffing issues, compounded by the

closure of the WAOC office due to the redevelopment

of the Channel 7 site. With the imminent opening of the

new WAIS building, the WAOC will soon have a new

home, and staffing will also soon be resolved, so the

OCWA is looking forward to improved support in 2015.

Despite the above challenges, the OCWA continues to

enjoy a great relationship with the WAOC and I take this

opportunity to thank them for the support they provide

to the OCWA.

The OCWA Executive met on 4 occasions during 2014,

as well as extra ‘business’ conducted by email in

between meetings. The OCWA is constantly on the

lookout for social events to keep our West Aussie

Olympians engaged and entertained.

OCWA FACEBOOK PAGE

The OCWA Facebook page provides an extra platform to

connect alumni that are keen to enjoy each other's

company, stay involved in OCWA events and rekindle

the spirit of the Olympics within each and every

Western Australian Olympian.

OCWA GYMNASTICS CHETKOVICH CUP

EVENT

In October, the OCWA hosted an event in conjunction

with the Chetkovich Cup, a team event featuring

performances from all 7 disciplines of gymnastics over a

single night. Olympians Club members and their

families were treated to a gymnastics spectacular,

including the showcasing of 4 WA Olympians: Lauren

Mitchell, Olivia Vivian, Emily Little and Janine Murray.

The pre‐event function provided an opportunity for

social interaction whilst enjoying scrumptious food and

a drink. An extra level of excitement was enjoyed as a

few Olympians had the

opportunity to judge the

Allana Slater Medal for

the 'wow factor’. It was

an enjoyable day full of

excitement, with a crowd‐

pleasing, unconventional

and fun filled

performance by Olivia

Vivian on the uneven

bars.

OCWA CHRISTMAS LUNCHEON

Our annual Christmas Function was held on 30th

November 2014 at the Cambridge Bowls Club. The

event was attended by 78 people, 44 of which were

Olympians who between them have attended 89 Games

(and won 12 Medals ‐ 6 Gold, 4 Silver, 2 Bronze), with

representation from every summer games since 1956. It

was a festive occasion and a great opportunity for our

WA‐based Olympians to catch up with friends and team

members, reflect on their Olympic experiences and to

celebrate the upcoming festive season.

OCWA Executive members Allana Slater and Jesse

Phillips again MC’d the event and did a great job. Jesse

and Allana also interviewed a number of our alumni:

father and daughter Eddy and Belinda Brooks who

reflected on their water polo experiences at the 1976

and 2004 Olympics;

Brian Glencross

(Hockey) who

reflected on the 1964

Olympics held 50 years

ago; and Ric

Charlesworth (Hockey)

who recently retired

after an incredible 7

Olympics ‐ 4 as an

athlete and 3 as coach.

Allana Slater with Brian Glencross

Olivia Vivian (Gymnastics, 2008) at the Chetkovich Cup


We conducted our regular Christmas raffle, with many

of the items donated by fellow Olympians and we

thank them for their generosity and support. The

proceeds ($860) were again donated to Mission

Australia’s Perth Christmas Lunch in the Park for the

disadvantaged.

OCWA AGM

The Christmas lunch was again used to run our annual

AGM. I would like to take this opportunity to recognise

the current and outgoing OCWA Executive as follows:

President:

Ms Liane Tooth OAM (Hockey 1984, 1988, 1992, 1996)

Secretary:

Ms Danielle Woodhouse OAM (Water Polo 2000)

Treasurer:

Mr Shane Tonkin (Baseball 1996)

Executive Members:

Ms Allana Slater (Gymnastics 2000, 2004)

Mr Andy Stewart# (Water Polo 1980)

Ms Olivia Vivian (Gymnastics 2008)

# Resigned – effective at 2014 AGM.

The OCWA will continue to look for opportunities to

host functions in conjunction with local sporting events

and Olympic milestone anniversaries.

OLYMPIANS CLUB OF AUSTRALIA

In May I again attended the annual meeting of the

Presidents of the various State Olympians Clubs, as well

as the AOC AGM as the OCWA delegate. It was a great

opportunity to discuss common issues, share ideas and

hear about activities being conducted in other states, as

well as being updated about relevant AOC/IOC

activities.

AOC AUSTRALIAN OLYMPIAN ALUMNI

The AOC's Australian Olympian Alumni aims to increase

its engagement with Australian Olympians. Key

strategies include a dedicated contact at the AOC for

Athlete and Olympian Services (Megan Sissian), an

Olympians group on LinkedIn, a dedicated web page,

monthly e‐news, quarterly newsletter and a year in

review publication.

In closing, I would also like to recognise the support

provided by our Alumni through WAOC events and

community/education/charity appearances.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014

(1) CORPORATE INFORMATION

The financial report of the Western Australia Olympic Council Inc. (‘WAOC’ or the ‘Council’) for the year ended 31 December 2014 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Executive on 1 April 2015. The Western Australian Olympic Council Inc. is an Association incorporated under the Associations Incorporation Act, 1987 of Western Australia and is domiciled in Western Australia. The principal place of business is C/‐ Channel 7, Perth Studios, Gay Street, Dianella, Western Australia 6059. The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Council are that WAOC acts to develop and protect the Olympic movement in the state of Western Australia in accordance with the Olympic Charter and the Constitution of the Australian Olympic Committee Inc. and to actively promote the fundamental principles of Olympism within the framework of sports.

(2) STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant policies which have been adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are: (a) Basis of preparation

This special purpose financial report has been prepared for distribution to the members of the Council to fulfil the Executive’s financial reporting requirements under the Associations Incorporation Act, 1987 of Western Australia and the Council’s constitution. The accounting policies used in the preparation of the financial report, as described below, are consistent with the financial reporting requirements of the Associations Incorporation Act, 1987 of Western Australia and the Council’s constitution, and are, in the opinion of the Executive, appropriate to meet the needs of members:

(i) The financial report has been prepared on an accrual basis of accounting including the

historical cost convention and the going concern assumption.

(ii) The Council is not a reporting entity because in the opinion of the Executive there are unlikely to exist users of the financial report who are unable to command the preparation of reports tailored so as to satisfy specifically all of their information needs.

The members neither hold equity in, nor are financial lenders to, the Council and their membership is pursuant to the Olympic Charter as well as the Constitution. Accordingly, the financial report has been prepared in accordance with the Associations Incorporation Act, 1987 of Western Australia and the Constitution, the basis of accounting specified by all Accounting Standards and Interpretations and the disclosure requirements of AASB 101 ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’, AASB 107 ‘Cash Flow Statements’, AASB 108 ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors’, AASB 1031 ‘Materiality’ and AASB 1048 ‘Interpretation and Application of Standards’ which apply to all entities required to prepare financial reports under the Associations Incorporation Act, 1987 of Western Australia and the Constitution.



(a) Basis of preparation con’t

The Executive has determined that in order for the financial report to give a true and fair view of the Council’s performance, cash flows and financial position, the requirements of Australian Accounting Standards and other financial reporting requirements in Australia relating to the measurement of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and equity should be complied with.

(iii) The financial report is prepared in Australian dollars.

(b) Statement of compliance

Certain Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations have recently been issued or amended but are not yet effective and have not been adopted by the Council for the annual reporting period ended 31 December 2014. The Executive has not early adopted any of these new or amended standards or interpretations. The Executive has not yet fully assessed the impact of these new or amended standards (to the extent relevant to the Council) and interpretations. This special purpose financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards as described above.

(c) Income and expenditure recognition

Income, with the exception of fundraising, has been brought to account on an accrual basis and if not received at balance date is reflected in the statement of financial position as a receivable. Income received at balance date that is in relation to future years is brought to account as unearned income. Expenses have been brought to account as incurred and any expenses incurred but not paid for at balance date are reflected in the Statement of Financial Position as creditors.

(d) Government Grants

Government grants are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attaching conditions have been complied with.

(e) Fundraising

The WAOC undertakes fundraising on behalf of the Australian Olympic Committee Inc (‘AOC’) and, as a result, all net fundraising revenue realised by the WAOC is recorded directly in the financial statements of the AOC. At 31 December 2014, the WAOC had a realised deficit of ($5,354) for the 2013 – 2016 Olympic Team Appeal (2013: had a realised deficit ($4,974) for the 2013 – 2016 Olympic Team Appeal). Net fundraising revenue is proceeds of fundraising less direct costs associated with fundraising.

(f) Income Tax

The WAOC is exempt from Australian income tax.



(2) STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – con’t

(g) Cash and cash equivalents

The WAOC undertakes fundraising on behalf of the Australian Olympic Committee Inc (‘AOC’) and, as a result, all net fundraising revenue raised by the WAOC is recorded directly in the financial statements of the AOC. WAOC does not have a bank account and for administrative purposes, all cash transactions are processed by the AOC. The net cash position is reflected in a net receivable (2013: payable) account at year end (refer note 5 (2013: refer note 8)).

(h) Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables, which generally have 30 – 90 day terms, are recognised and carried out at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off when identified.

(i) Plant and equipment Acquisitions Items of plant and equipment are recorded at cost or, in the case of donations and sponsorship contributions in kind, at fair value at the time of donation or contribution, less accumulated depreciation and any impaired value. Depreciation and amortisation Items of plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight line method over their estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 5 years from the date of acquisition. Impairment The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists and where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amount, the assets are written down to their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of plant and equipment is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Value in use is the depreciated replacement cost of an asset when the future economic benefits of the asset are not primarily dependent on the asset’s ability to generate net cash inflows and where the Council would, if deprived of the asset, replace its remaining future economic benefits. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

(j) Trade and other payables

Expenditure is brought to account on an accruals basis. Any expenses incurred but not paid for at balance date are recorded as payables on the Statement of Financial Position.



(k) Employee benefits and expenses

(i) Wages, salaries, annual leave and long service leave

Expenses for wages and salaries, including non‐monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave are recognised when the wages are paid or payable, benefits are received or leave is accrued and are measured at the rates paid or payable.

(ii) Superannuation

The Council contributes to the AOC group employee superannuation scheme as well as any authorised employee superannuation scheme chosen under Superannuation Legislation Amendment (Choice of Superannuation Funds). Contributions on behalf of employees are based on various percentages of gross salaries and are charged against the Statement of Comprehensive Income when due. All employees in the group employee superannuation scheme are entitled to benefits on retirement of permanent disability. Benefits are payable to nominated beneficiaries on death.

(l) Interest

‘Interest paid’ and ‘Interest received’ are not classified in the Statement of Cash flows as WAOC has no bank account. Interest recorded and applied in the Statement of Comprehensive income has been received by the WAOC, based on deposits held by the AOC on behalf of the WAOC. Interest is recorded when received and used in the general operations of the WAOC.

(3) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

In applying the accounting policies the WAOC evaluates judgements, estimates and assumptions based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events. All judgements, estimates and assumptions made are believed to be reasonable based on the most current set of circumstances available to WAOC. Actual results may differ from the judgements, estimates and assumptions.

(14) AUDITORS REMUNERATION

Costs of the audit of the WAOC are borne by the Australian Olympic Committee Inc.

(15) GOING CONCERN

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Council’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on receiving ongoing support from the Australian Olympic Committee Inc. and government grants. The Executive has prepared a forecast for the 2015 year which indicates that with the support of the Australian Olympic Committee Inc. the council will be able to meet their financial obligations as and when they fall due. On that basis the Executive believe it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of these financial statements.
