Principal Activities

The principal activity of the Equipping For Life Ltd Trading as Arethusa College during the financial year was

to provide an educational institution for students from years 7 to 12.

Short-term and Long-term Objectives

The College’s short-term objectives are to provide programs for students disengaged from mainstream

schooling who may have learning difficulties and/or who are not scholastic but wish to pursue practical

education opportunities.

The College’s short-term objectives are to:

– provide high quality and engaging educational programs for students disengaged from mainstream

schooling

– reflect in all our practices unconditional positive belief in students and high expectations for their futures

– create a model for the establishment of new boutique campuses around areas of passion for student e.g.

sports academy, an adventure campus.

The College’s long-term objectives are to:

– participate in the evolution of a new model for education that brings about more holistic outcomes for students in any setting

– engage in both educational research and the provision of professional development for the broader educational community

– develop staff and student leadership programs that support the mission of the College; and are recognised and valued by businesses, organisations and other schools

Strategies

To achieve its stated objectives, The College has adopted the following strategies:


of 31

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

– appointment of a more independent board;

– employment of high quality staff that align with the objectives of the Entity

– new building projects, new campus development plans and resource planning that align with the

objectives of the Entity

– New strategic plan under development

New Accounting Standards Implemented

The College has implemented three new Accounting Standards that are applicable for the current reporting

period.

AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers, AASB 1058: Income of Not-for-Profit Entities and AASB

16: Leases have been applied using the cumulative effective method; that is, by recognising the cumulative

effect of initially applying AASB 15, AASB 1058 and AASB 16 as an adjustment to the opening balance of

equity at 1 January 2019. Therefore, the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be

reported under AASB 118: Revenue, AASB 117: Leases and AASB 1004: Contributions. Also to note in

relation to AASB 16 is that The College applied the temporary relief for peppercorn leases under AASB 2018-

8 to measures the right of use assets at cost on initial recognition. Further information is provided in Note 1.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Preparation

Equipping for Life Ltd trading as Arethusa College (The College) applies Australian Accounting Standards –

Reduced Disclosure Requirements as set out in AASB 1053: Application of Tiers of Australian Accounting

Standards.

The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with

Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements of the Australian Accounting Standards

Board (AASB) and the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission Act 2012. The College is a not-for-

profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards.

Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in

financial statements containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions.

Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are presented below and

have been consistently applied unless stated otherwise.

The financial statements, except for the cash flow information, have been prepared on an accrual basis and are

based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current

assets, financial assets and financial liabilities. The amounts presented in the financial statements have been

rounded to the nearest dollar.

The financial statements were authorised for issue on 22nd April 2020 by the directors of The College.

Accounting Policies

a. Revenue

Revenue recognition

The College has applied AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (AASB 15) and AASB 1058:

Income of Not-for-Profit Entities (AASB 1058) using the cumulative effective method of initially applying

AASB 15 and AASB 1058 as an adjustment to the opening balance of equity at 1 January 2019.

Therefore, the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be presented under AASB

118: Revenue and AASB 1004: Contributions. The details of accounting policies under AASB 118 and

AASB 1004 are disclosed separately since they are different from those under AASB 15 and AASB 1058,

and the impact of changes is disclosed in Note 1.

In the current year

Contributed assets

The College receives assets from the government and other parties for nil or nominal consideration in

order to further its objectives. These assets are recognised in accordance with the recognition

requirements of other applicable accounting standards (for example, AASB 9, AASB 16, AASB 116 and

AASB 138).

On initial recognition of an asset, The College recognises related amounts (being contributions by owners,

lease liability, financial instruments, provisions, revenue or contract liability arising from a contract with a

customer).

The College recognises income immediately in profit or loss as the difference between the initial carrying

amount of the asset and the related amount.

Operating grants, donations and bequests

When The College received operating grant revenue, donations or bequests, it assesses whether the

contract is enforceable and has sufficiently specific performance obligations in accordance with AASB 15.

When both these conditions are satisfied, The College:

- identifies each performance obligation relating to the grant

- recognises a contract liability for its obligations under the agreement

- recognises revenue as it satisfies its performance obligations.


of 31



Where the contract is not enforceable or does not have sufficiently specific performance obligations, The

College:

- recognises the asset received in accordance with the recognition requirements of other applicable

accounting standards (for example AASB 9, AASB 16, AASB 116 and AASB 138)

- recognises related amounts (being contributions by owners, lease liability, financial instruments,

provisions, revenue or contract liability arising from a contract with a customer)

- recognises income immediately in profit or loss as the difference between the initial carrying

amount of the asset and the related amount.

If a contract liability is recognised as a related amount above, The College recognises income in profit or

loss when or as it satisfies its obligations under the contract.

Capital grant

When The College receives a capital grant, it recognises a liability for the excess of the initial carrying

amount of the financial asset received over any related amounts (being contributions by owners, lease

liability, financial instruments, provisions, revenue or contract liability arising from a contract with a

customer) recognised under other Australian Accounting Standards.

The College recognises income in profit or loss when or as The College satisfies its obligations under the

terms of the grant.

Interest income

Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax.

In the comparative period

Non-reciprocal grant revenue was recognised in profit or loss when The College obtained control of the

grant and it was probable that the economic benefits gained from the grant would flow to The College and

the amount of the grant could be measured reliably.

If conditions were attached to the grant which must be satisfied before The College was eligible to receive

the contribution, the recognition of the grant as revenue was deferred until those conditions were satisfied.

When grant revenue was received whereby The College incurred an obligation to deliver economic value

directly back to the contributor, this was considered a reciprocal transaction and the grant revenue was

recognised in the statement of financial position as a liability until the service had been delivered to the

contributor; otherwise, the grant was recognised as income on receipt.

The College received non-reciprocal contributions of assets from the government and other parties for no

or nominal value.

These assets were recognised at fair value on the date of acquisition in the statement of financial position,

with a corresponding amount of income recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other

comprehensive income.

Donations and bequests were recognised as revenue when received.

Interest revenue was recognised using the effective interest method, which for floating rate financial

assets is the rate inherent in the instrument. Dividend revenue was recognised when the right to receive a

dividend had been established. Rental income from operating leases was recognised on a straight-line

basis over the term of the relevant leases.

Revenue from the rendering of a service was recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customer.


of 31



b. Inventories

Inventories held for sale are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Inventories held for

distribution are measured at cost adjusted, when applicable, for any loss of service potential.

Inventories acquired at no cost, or for nominal consideration, are valued at the current replacement cost

as at the date of acquisition.

c. Property, Plant and Equipment

Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value as indicated, less, where

applicable, accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses.

Freehold property

Freehold land and buildings are shown at their fair value based on periodic, but at least triennial,

valuations by external independent valuers, less subsequent depreciation for buildings.

In periods when the freehold land and buildings are not subject to an independent valuation, the directors

conduct directors’ valuations to ensure the carrying amount for the land and buildings is not materially

different to the fair value.

Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of land and buildings are recognised in other

comprehensive income and accumulated in the revaluation surplus in equity. Revaluation decreases that

offset previous increases of the same class of assets shall be recognised in other comprehensive income

under the heading of revaluation surplus. All other decreases are recognised in profit or loss.

Any accumulated depreciation at the date of the revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying

amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset.

Freehold land and buildings that have been contributed at no cost, or for nominal cost, are initially

recognised and measured at the fair value of the asset at the date it is acquired.

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis and are therefore carried at cost less accumulated

depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. In the event the carrying amount of plant and

equipment is greater than the estimated recoverable amount, the carrying amount is written down

immediately to the estimated recoverable amount and impairment losses are recognised either in profit or

loss or as a revaluation decrease if the impairment losses relate to a revalued asset. A formal

assessment of recoverable amount is made when impairment indicators are present (refer to Note 1(f) for

details of impairment).

Plant and equipment that have been contributed at no cost, or for nominal cost, are valued and

recognised at the fair value of the asset at the date it is acquired.

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets, including buildings and capitalised lease assets, but excluding

freehold land, is depreciated on a straight line basis over the asset’s useful life to The College

commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over

the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:

Class of Fixed Asset Depreciation Rate

Buildings 1%

Plant and equipment 10 – 33.33%

Leased motor vehicles 20%

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each

reporting period.


of 31



Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These

gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. When revalued assets are

sold, amounts included in the revaluation surplus relating to that asset are transferred to retained

earnings.

d. Leases

The College as lessee

At inception of a contract, The College assesses if the contract contains or is a lease. If there is a lease

present, a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability is recognised by The College where The

College is a lessee. However, all contracts that are classified as short-term leases (ie a lease with a

remaining lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low-value assets are recognised as an operating

expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Initially, the lease liability is measured at the present value of the lease payments still to be paid at

commencement date. The lease payments are discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease. If this

rate cannot be readily determined, The College uses the incremental borrowing rate.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are as follows:

- fixed lease payments less any lease incentives;

- variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate

at the commencement date;

- the amount expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;

- the exercise price of purchase options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options;

- lease payments under extension options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options;

and

- payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the exercise of an option

to terminate the lease

The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability as mentioned

above, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, as well as any initial direct costs.

The subsequent measurement of the right-of-use assets is at cost less accumulated depreciation and

impairment losses.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the lease term or useful life of the underlying asset, whichever is

the shortest. Where a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset, or the cost of the right-of-use

asset reflects that The College anticipates to exercise a purchase option, the specific asset is depreciated

over the useful life of the underlying asset.

Concessionary leases

For leases that have significantly below-market terms and conditions principally to enable The College to

further its objectives (commonly known as peppercorn/concessionary leases), The College has adopted

the temporary relief under AASB 2018-8 and measures the right-of-use assets at cost on initial

recognition.

The College as lessor

The College leases some rooms in their building to external parties.

Upon entering into each contract as a lessor, The College assesses if the lease is a finance or operating

lease.

The contract is classified as a finance lease when the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks

and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases not within this definition are classified as

operating leases.

Rental income received from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the

specific lease.


of 31



Initial direct costs incurred in entering into an operating lease (for example legal cost, cost to setup) are

included in the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis

over the lease term.

Rental income due under finance leases is recognised as receivables at the amount of The College’s net

investment in the leases.

When a contract is determined to include lease and non-lease components, The College applies AASB 15

to allocate the consideration under the contract to each component.

e. Land held in trust

Land identified as Lot 981 on Plan SL12165 is held at fair value and is subject to a Deed of Grant in Trust

(DOGIT). Land identified as Lot 17 on Crown Plan B32305 is held at fair value and is subject to a Deed of

Grant in Trust (DOGIT). All the land is retained by the Crown, however the economic benefits of the land

accrue to The College and the land is administered by the College.

f. Impairment of Assets

At the end of each reporting period, The College reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and

intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If

such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value

less costs of disposal and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying amount. Any excess of the

asset’s carrying amount over its recoverable amount is recognised in profit or loss.

Where the assets are not held primarily for their ability to generate net cash inflows – that is, they are

specialised assets held for continuing use of their service capacity – the recoverable amounts are

expected to be materially the same as fair value.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, The College estimates

the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Where an impairment loss on a revalued individual asset is identified, this is recognised against the

revaluation surplus in respect of the same class of asset to the extent that the impairment loss does not

exceed the amount in the revaluation surplus for that class of asset.

g. Employee Benefits

Short-term employee benefits

Provision is made for The College’s obligation for short-term employee benefits. Short-term employee

benefits are benefits (other than termination benefits) that are expected to be settled wholly within 12

months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service,

including wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave. Short-term employee benefits are measured at the

(undiscounted) amounts expected to be paid when the obligation is settled.

The College’s obligations for short-term employee benefits such as wages, salaries and sick leave are

recognised as part of current trade and other payables in the statement of financial position.

Other long-term employee benefits

The College classifies employees' long service leave and annual leave entitlements as other long-term

employee benefits as they are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the

annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service. Provision is made for The

College’s obligation for other long-term employee benefits, which are measured at the present value of the

expected future payments to be made to employees. Expected future payments incorporate anticipated

future wage and salary levels, durations of service and employee departures, 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 changes occur.

The College’s obligations for long-term employee benefits are presented as non-current liabilities in its

statement of financial position, except where The College does not have an unconditional right to defer


of 31



settlement for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period, in which case the obligations are

presented as current liabilities.

h. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly

liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

i. Trade and Other Debtors

Fee Debtors are recognised at the amounts due at the time of sale or service delivery. Unless prior

arrangements are in place, settlement of these amounts are required by the start or each relevant school

term.

The collectability of receivables is assessed periodically with provision being made for impairment. All

known bad debts were written off as 31 December 2019.

Other debtors generally arise from transactions outside the usual operating activities of the College and

are recognised at their assessed value. Terms are a maximum of 30 days, no interest is charged, and no

security is obtained.

j. Goods and Services Tax (GST)

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

GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net

amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included with other receivables or payables in

the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or

financing activities, which are recoverable from or payable to the ATO, are presented as operating cash

flows included in receipts from customers or payments to suppliers.

k. Income Tax

No provision for income tax has been raised as The College is exempt from income tax under Div 50 of

the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.

l. Intangible Assets

Software

Software is initially recognised at cost. Where software is acquired at no cost, or for a nominal cost, the

cost is its fair value, as at the date of acquisition. It has a finite life and is carried at cost less any

accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Software has an estimated useful life of between one

and three years. It is assessed annually for impairment.

m. Provisions

Provisions are recognised when The College 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. Provisions recognised represent the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the

obligation at the end of the reporting period.

n. Comparative Figures

When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes

in presentation for the current financial year.

o. Trade and Other Payables

Trade and other payables represent the liabilities for goods and services received by The College during

the reporting period that remain unpaid at the end of the reporting period. The balance is recognised as a

current liability with the amounts normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability.

p. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

The directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial statements based on

historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation

of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within

The College.

Key estimates

(i) Valuation of freehold land

The freehold land was independently valued at 30 June 2018 by the Department of Natural

Resources, Mines and Energy. The valuation was based on the fair value. The critical assumptions

adopted in determining the valuation included the location of the land. The valuation resulted in a

revaluation increment of $3,600,000 for Deception Bay and $4,200,000 being recognised for the

year ended 31 December 2018.

At 31 December 2019, the directors have performed a directors’ valuation on the freehold land.

The directors have reviewed the key assumptions adopted by the valuers in 2018 and do not

believe there has been a significant change in the assumptions at 31 December 2019. The

directors therefore believe the carrying amount of the land correctly reflects the fair value at

31 December 2019.

Key judgements

(i)........ Employee benefits

For the purpose of measurement, AASB 119: Employee Benefits defines obligations for short-term

employee benefits as obligations expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of

the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service. As The College

expects that most employees will not use all of their annual leave entitlements in the same year in

which they are earned or during the 12-month period that follows (despite an informal internal

policy that requires annual leave to be used within 18 months), the directors believe that

obligations for annual leave entitlements satisfy the definition of other long-term employee benefits

and, therefore, are required to be measured at the present value of the expected future payments

to be made to employees.

q. Economic Dependence

The College is dependent on the Department of Education for the majority of its revenue used to operate

the business. At the date of this report, the Board of Directors has no reason to believe the Department

will not continue to support for the College.

r. Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

The College measures some of its assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring

basis, depending on the requirements of the applicable Accounting Standard.

“Fair value” is the price The College would receive to sell an asset or would have to pay to transfer a

liability in an orderly (ie unforced) transaction between independent, knowledgeable and willing market

participants at the measurement date.

As fair value is a market-based measure, the closest equivalent observable market pricing information is

used to determine fair value. Adjustments to market values may be made having regard to the

characteristics of the specific asset or liability. The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded

in an active market are determined using one or more valuation techniques. These valuation techniques

maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data.

To the extent possible, market information is extracted from the principal market for the asset or liability (ie

the market with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset or liability). In the absence of such a

market, market information is extracted from the most advantageous market available to The College at

the end of the reporting period (ie the market that maximises the receipts from the sale of the asset or

minimises the payments made to transfer the liability, after taking into account transaction costs and

transport costs).


of 31



For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement also takes into account a market participant’s ability

to use the asset in its highest and best use or to sell it to another market participant that would use the

asset in its highest and best use.

The fair value of liabilities and The College’s own equity instruments (if any) may be valued, where there

is no observable market price in relation to the transfer of such financial instruments, by reference to

observable market information where such instruments are held as assets. Where this information is not

available, other valuation techniques are adopted and, where significant, are detailed in the respective

note to the financial statements.

s. New and Amended Accounting Policies Adopted by The College

Initial application of AASB 16

The College has adopted AASB 16: Leases retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying

AASB 16 recognised at 1 January 2019. In accordance with AASB 16, the comparatives for the 2018

reporting period have not been restated.

The College has recognised a lease liability and right-of-use asset for all leases (with the exception of

short-term and low-value leases) recognised as operating leases under AASB 117: Leases where The

College is the lessee.

The lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments. The College's

incremental borrowing rate as at 1 January 2019 was used to discount the lease payments.

The right-of-use assets for equipment was measured at its carrying amount as if AASB 16 had been

applied since the commencement date, but discounted using The College's weighted average incremental

borrowing rate on 1 January 2019.

The right-of-use assets for the remaining leases were measured and recognised in the statement of

financial position as at 1 January 2019 by taking into consideration the lease liability and prepaid and

accrued lease payments previously recognised at 1 January 2019 (that are related to the lease).

The following practical expedients have been used by The College in applying AASB 16 for the first time:

- for a portfolio of leases that have reasonably similar characteristics, a single discount rate has

been applied.

- leases that have remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at 1 January 2019 have been

accounted for in the same way as short-term leases

- the use of hindsight to determine lease terms on contracts that have options to extend or terminate

- applying AASB 16 to leases previously identified as leases under AASB 117 and Interpretation 4:

Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease without reassessing whether they are, or

contain, a lease at the date of initial application.

- not applying AASB 16 to leases previously not identified as containing a lease under AASB 117

and Interpretation 4.

The College’s weighted average incremental borrowing rate on 1 January 2019 applied to the lease

liabilities was 6%. The discounted operating lease commitments as at 1 January 2019 was 10,847.

Initial application of AASB 15 and AASB 1058

The College has applied AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers and AASB 1058: Income of

Not-for-Profit Entities using the cumulative effective method of initially applying AASB 15 and AASB 1058

as an adjustment to the opening balance of equity at 1 January 2019. Therefore, the comparative

information has not been restated and continues to be presented under AASB 118: Revenue and AASB

1004: Contributions.

The adoption of AASB 15 and AASB 1058 did not have any material impact on The College’s financial

report.


of 31



t. Correction of prior period error

A correction of prior period error is required in respect of the initial recognition of Land Held in Trust

measured at fair value in the 2018 financial statements. The error has been corrected by restating each

of the affected financial statement line items for the prior period, as follows:

31-Dec-18

Statement of Financial Position (Extract): Previous Amount Adjustment Restated Amount

Land held in Trust - at Fair Value $ - $7,800,000 $7,800,000

Accumulated surplus/ (losses) $832,052 $7,800,000 $8,632,052

31-Dec-18

Statement of Comprehensive income (extract): Previous Amount Adjustment Restated Amount

Other income - Land held in Trust $ - $7,800,000 $7,800,000

The change did not have an impact on Other Comprehensive Income for the period or the Company's

operating, investing and financing cashflows

Provision for employee benefits

Provision for employee benefits represents amounts accrued for annual leave and long service leave.

The current portion for this provision includes the total amount accrued for annual leave entitlements and the

amounts accrued for long service leave entitlements that have vested due to employees having completed the

required period of service. Based on past experience, The College does not expect the full amount of annual

leave or long service leave balances classified as current liabilities to be settled within the next 12 months.

However, these amounts must be classified as current liabilities since The College does not have an

unconditional right to defer the settlement of these amounts in the event employees wish to use their leave

entitlement.

The non-current portion for this provision includes amounts accrued for long service leave entitlements that have

not yet vested in relation to those employees who have not yet completed the required period of service.

In calculating the present value of future cash flows in respect of long service leave, the probability of long

service leave being taken is based upon historical data. The measurement and recognition criteria for employee

benefits have been discussed in Note 1(g).

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF EQUIPPING FOR LIFE LTD

Report on the Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial report, of Equipping for Life Ltd (The College), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2019, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration. In our opinion the financial report of The College is in accordance with the Div 60 of the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission Act 2012, including:

a) Giving a true and fair view of The College’s financial position as at 31 December 2019 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and

b) Complying with Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure and and Div 60 of the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission Regulation 2013.

Basis for Opinion

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. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibility section of our report.

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

Independence

We are independent of The College in accordance with the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

Directors’ Responsibilities for the Financial Report

The directors of The College are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements and the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission Act 2012 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial report, the Directors are responsible for assessing The College’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using a going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate The College or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individual or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at http://www.auasb.gov.au/Home.apsx. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
