President’s Report I am pleased to introduce the 2019 Annual and Financial Report for the Australian Security Industry Association Limited. The 2018-2019 year was a busy and productive one for the Association on numerous fronts. Thanks to our committed team and strong member base, the Association continues to strengthen and consolidate its position as the industry peak body. Here are some of the highlights from the past year.

ASIAL Board Following the casual vacancy that arose in June 2018, the Board on recommendation of the ASIAL Nominations Sub-Committee (comprising a current Board member and two past Board members) appointed Suzette Po-Williams to fill the role for the remainder of the term. Following on from this, the 2-yearly board elections conducted by the Australian Electoral Commission resulted in the re-election of myself as President and John Gellel as Vice President. Michael Smith, Brian Foster, Rachaell Saunders, Suzette Po-Williams, Rod Anderson and Fred Khoury were elected as Board members from a field of 10 candidates.

ASIAL 50th Anniversary In 2019 the Association celebrates its 50th anniversary, a significant milestone and achievement by any measure. The Association is financially secure and recognised as an important Industry partner by Federal and State Governments, law enforcement, State Regulators, end users and Industry providers. The Association marked its 50 anniversary with a refreshed logo. Further activities are planned, including a special Gala Dinner at Sydney Town Hall and production of a short video. th

I doubt whether those early pioneers who met in Sydney in 1969 envisaged that their fledging association would grow to become a highly respected national organisation with 2600 members. It hasn’t been easy over the past 50 years, but thanks to the perseverance and dedication of many individuals and member companies the Association has pulled through. The Association’s Board members continue to volunteer their time and expertise to ensure the Association and Secretariat provide invaluable advice and support to members and the industry as a whole. It is important to remember ASIAL is an association of member companies and it only exists because of its members. Without strong membership the Association will cease to exist. Without ASIAL, the industry would not have a voice of reason when it comes to licencing, regulation, training and many other external influences on the Industry.

ASIAL and help further strengthen the independent voice the Association provides.

Strategy Planning, industry research and codes of practice In February 2019 the Association held a Strategy Day to review the previous 12-months of activity and successes against key strategic priorities and to evaluate their ongoing relevance to the Association, its members and the Industry. Previous Strategy Days have been attended by board members, Association employees and invited representatives from member companies. This year representatives from key stakeholders included the, Australian Security Intelligence Organisation, Fair Work Ombudsman, Federal Attorney General’s Department, Queensland Office of Fair Trading, NSW Police, NSW Security licensing & Enforcement Directorate, Victorian Licensing and Regulation Division, the Australian Information Security Association and Master Locksmiths Association of Australia. It was agreed the goals of the Association were still relevant and that the Association had made headway over the previous 12-months. The five key goals agreed were:

• Drive industry research and data sharing • Promote the industry’s role and capabilities • Drive leadership, raise ethical and professional standards • Achieve nationally uniform and consistent security licensing • Forge stakeholder collaboration It is important to realise that the above goals will not be achieved quickly, but require long term planned activity, consultation, investment and networking to achieve many small wins along the way. For example, national licencing is an aspirational goal that involves working with multiple stakeholders all with vested interests in maintaining the status quo. This is a long-game, which hopefully does not take a catastrophic incident to get all parties to find a common ground. In this regard, ASIAL was instrumental in driving the successful outcome of changes to the Security Operations training package where all States and Territories agreed to implement the 14 units of competency for new entrants. Not quite national licencing, but nationally consistent training competencies. We are one small step closer to our strategic goal.

I encourage all members to play an active role in the Association and to encourage their peers who are not members to join

Thanks to our committed team and strong member base, the Association continues to strengthen and consolidate its position as the industry peak body.

Further the Association has funded a number of research papers where the interests of the private security industry and its position in national strategic planning are highlighted. One such paper was “Safety in Numbers” published by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute. As the report stated “The private security guarding sector is a vital piece of the national security puzzle that has not been drawn into Australia’s counter-terrorism planning.” The Association has and will continue to support independent research that explores, reviews and acknowledges the strengths, excellence and capability of our Industry. Our relationship and collaboration continues to strengthen with other Industry stakeholder groups including the Australian Medals Foundation, Security Professionals Australasia, Australian Information Security Association and the Forum of Australian Security Executives. Earlier in the year following consultation with members at all levels the Association released the Cash In Transit Code of Practice. The Code provides a helpful best practice guideline for practitioners and users of cash in transit services. The Code was presented to the Australian Banking Association Security Issues Forum and representatives of state/territory armed robbery squads. Their response to the Code was positive.

Workplace Relations One of the key benefits to members the Association provides is workplace relations advice and support. In an Industry employing large numbers of personnel the ability to successfully manage the many nuances of workplace relations, including complying with employment awards is critical. Throughout the year the Industry has grappled with the challenges of new Labour Hire Licencing regulations in Queensland and Victoria. The Association has actively lobbied for a common-sense approach given the Industry is already captured through state security licencing requirements. The introduction of the Portable Long Service Leave scheme in Victoria has posed additional challenges for security providers. To ensure an industry perspective is provided, ASIAL Board Member Rachaell Saunders was successful in her nomination as a Director of the Portable Long Service Leave Scheme Authority.

ABN 91 000 813 365 I ASIAL 2019 Annual & Financial Report

All of our Members have a requirement to be aware and comply with their workplace relations obligations. Through the access to ASIAL’s workplace relations service, members have access to advice and support to work their way through the complexities.

Events and communications Our continued involvement in the annual Security Exhibition and Conference and Australian Security Industry Awards for Excellence demonstrates our commitment to promote the capability, value, expertise and quality of our Industry. Year on year numbers at the exhibition have increased and the conference and dinner have been a sell out with a waiting list. A new initiative introduced this year is the ASIAL podcast series which provides members with a further channel of communication on topical industry issues. The podcasts complement ASIAL’s existing communications channels which include Security Insider magazine, First Alert e-newsletter, the ASIAL website and our growing social media channels. I encourage you to subscribe to the ASIAL Podcasts and other information channels. In closing, it has a very successful year for the Association. Whilst some of these achievements may appear to be intangible, believe me when they are aggregated they represent a significant step towards achieving our strategic goals. It has taken us 50-years to get to where we are today, but like technology with our growing momentum we will see more rapid advancements the coming years. Finally, I would like to thank Bryan de Caires and his team at the Secretariat, my fellow Board members, our customers and importantly our members for collectively being responsible for contributing to our successes.

Secretary’s Report

It is with great pleasure that I provide the following Secretary’s Report. Among my responsibilities as Secretary include overall governance of the Association and compliance. This includes reporting to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, Registered Organisations Commission and Australian Communications and Media Authority. In addition, as an approved security association in the Australian Capital Territory, Queensland and Victoria the Association has additional reporting requirements. The Association continues to provide a range of products, services and support to members and to be a vocal advocate for the industry. The past year has seen another solid performance by the Association with a surplus of $64,239 achieved for the year, with accumulated reserves rising to $4,678,506.

Total income

$4.5m

Total Expenses

$4.0m

Revenue from membership subscriptions and strategic partnerships remained steady, whilst ASIAL’s Cabling Registry posted a small increase. The Association held a number of successful events during the course of the year, these included the annual ASIAL conference, awards for excellence and industry breakfast briefings held in Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne, Hobart, Perth and Sydney. The Association’s consumer awareness campaign included advertising in the Qantas inflight magazine, radio and selected cinemas, along with online advertising. The unspent portion of revenue raised through the member marketing levy will be used in the 2019-2020 year for further consumer awareness initiatives. At the 2018 ASIAL Annual General Meeting members voted to appoint SDJA as auditors of the association to replace Doug Wood of Foster Raffan who advised that he was reducing his work schedule.

5-Year Performance Summary (2015-2019) $5m

There was a very slight decrease in trading however, this was offset by a reduction in expenses.

Finally, the Association’s success has been predicated on the continuing support of the ASIAL Board of Directors, Convenors, members and commitment of the ASIAL Secretariat team.

Membership In 2019, ASIAL celebrates its 50th anniversary. From modest beginnings in 1969 when a small group of nine security companies first started meeting at Sydney’s Hotel Australia, the Association has grown significantly. To mark this milestone, the Association undertook a refresh of its logo to provide a cleaner more modern look. Providing members with advice and support on a broad range of issues remains at the core of what the Association provides. As does providing the industry with a strong voice through engagement with state and territory regulators, the Fair Work Ombudsman, law enforcement agencies, Standards and through submissions on a range of issues. During the past year the Association welcomed 275 new members, whilst 343 members resigned or were expelled. Overall, membership fell slightly from 2,639 to 2,578, primarily from NSW. Despite the fall in membership in NSW, the Association experienced growth in Victoria, ACT and WA. The ASIAL Individual Professional Recognition program continues to build momentum, as a growing number of security professionals seeking to progress their careers have sought to attain the post nominal credential of either MASIAL, AFASIAL or FASIAL.

ASIAL member recognition program The Association’s member recognition program has grown to 1,186 participating members. The program now recognises 29 Platinum members (25+ years), 356 Gold Members (16-24 years), 329 Silver members (11-15 years) and 472 Bronze Members (6-10 years)

Safe Workplace Management System The ASIAL Safe Workplace Management System underwent a major upgrade during the year. The new system has been tailored to meet security industry needs and features multiple access levels, enhanced reporting, improved Work, Health and Safety documents and an integrated action workflow. The System enables compliance with WHS legislation at an affordable rate for members.

Compliance During the course of the year the Association undertook a number of compliance initiatives and actions. Among these included drafting of Code of Practice for Mobile patrols. The Code provides practical assistance to members in meeting their client responsibilities, to provide a safe environment for the delivery of the service and importantly, provide systems and communication pathways to verify the delivery of contracted services. Members were provided with access to a guideline to support the prevention of workplace discrimination, harassment, sexual harassment and bullying in the security industry. The Guideline confirms our industry’s commitment to providing safe, respectful, inclusive and flexible workplaces.

Queensland audit and member compliance As an approved security industry association in Queensland, ASIAL uses the services of a chartered accounting firm to conduct compliance audits of its members. During the year 211 members were issued with compliance certificates, 28 are awaiting approval, 4 resigned subsequent to audit notification, 8 surrendered their licence or let it lapse. A total of 9 ASIAL members operating in Queensland were expelled due to non-compliance with the statutory audit requirement.

Complaints and dispute resolution ASIAL actively manages complaints and disputes in accordance with its Complaints and Dispute Resolution Policy and Procedures. The number of registered complaints received during 2018/2019 totalled 24 (up from 17 in the previous year). Of these complaints, 10 related to the electronics sector, 9 to the manpower sector, 2 for incorrect invoicing, 2 for incorrect rates of pay and super and 1 for alleged unlicensed operators in a control room.

119%

Increase in media exposure

The manpower sector complaints primarily related to threatening behaviour of security guards. With the majority of complaints received, outcomes were achieved through mutual agreement between the parties. It is clear that with better communication with clients many of these issues could have been resolved before escalating to a complaint.

A number of the complaints against electronics providers dealt with the transferring of lines between monitoring centres, namely difficulties experienced due to the failure in providing access codes to facilitate the transfer. They also dealt with faulty alarm systems and sensors.

During the year the Standards Australia electronics committee EL031 was reformed and the process of merging with the EL051 Committee commenced. EL051 is dedicated to the review of CCTV standards with the aim of adopting the IEC 62676 suite of digital CCTV standards. ASIAL’s General Manager, J ohn Fleming was chosen to chair the EL-031 committee.

OPERATING REPORT

Training Artibus Innovation has been commissioned by the Australian government to support the Industry Reference Committees (IRCs) for the Construction and Property Services industry. The Technical Advisory Group (TAG) includes representatives from employers, industry, RTOs and regulators. ASIAL is a committee member of the Property IRC which has been tasked with reviewing and developing vocational education and training for the security Industry. Projects have focused on occupational analysis as a basis for rebuilding the qualification and unit structure to align with current and emerging work practices and to support a more consistent regulatory approach. Industry consultation has included meetings with key regulators (individually and through the Security Industry Regulators Forum (SIRF) and presentations at ASIAL industry briefings. In January 2019 the TAG completed the review of Security Operations Certificate II and Certificate III. Regulators and Registered Training Organisations are now transitioning to the new training package which offers for the first time in Australia the opportunity for a consistent national approach to training. The TAG’s are now underway for the review of training packages for Technical Security, Risk Management and Investigative Services. The first drafts were completed in June 2019. The objective is to update the qualifications to align with 2012 standards for training packages. These training packages are slated for completion by the end of 2019.

National Broadband Network ASIAL continues to engage with NBN Co to provide information to members on the deployment of the National Broadband Network (nbn). The nbn working with approved service providers will replace the existing landline phone and internet services in Australia, this is scheduled to be finalised in 2020. It is vitally important that stakeholders in the migration of back to base security and medical alarms be informed about the nbn developments and communicate with their customers to offer solutions that maintain the security systems integrity. No matter which type of technology is used to deliver the nbn, it is crucial that home and office wiring has been well planned. The Association provides information to members and advocates that security installation work must be carried out by a licenced security technician that holds an Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) cablers registration card with the appropriate cabling competencies.

Standards Australia has approved a case for a review of AS2201.2 Monitoring Centres

National Alarm Response Guideline ASIAL’s ongoing engagement with the National Emergency Communications Working Group (which includes communications representatives from Police, Fire and Ambulance services across Australian and New Zealand) has resulted in the release of the national alarm response guideline. The guideline aligns police classification, requirements and response to alarms and alarm activations across all jurisdictions. The guideline provides a framework for national consistency in the way in which policing jurisdictions and security companies define and respond to alarm activations.

National Alarm Response Guideline came into effect on 1 July 2018

Monitoring Centre Certification The Association continues to operate the highly respected monitoring centre certification program in accordance with Australian Standard 2201.2. The ASIAL scheme seeks to provide customers with the reassurance that the standards applied at a monitoring centre are independently audited on a regular basis. All applications can now be managed online through ASIAL’s updated website. Australian Standards has approved a case for a review of AS2201.2 Monitoring Centres. Updating Standards ensures the quality and consistency of products and services and gives businesses and consumers a greater piece of mind. Standards Australia hosted a kick off meeting in April 2019 to confirm acknowledgement of the new EL031 committee and an overview of the committee member code of conduct.

The Guideline came into effect on 1 July 2018, with a 12 month transitional period to enable Alarm Monitoring Providers to meet the Guidelines.

OPERATING REPORT

ASIAL Cabling Registry Acting on behalf of the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) ASIAL provides cablers with advice and support to comply with cabling registration requirements. ACMA is responsible for setting out the regulatory requirements for registration and installation practices of cablers. ASIAL’s cabling registry has been kept busy responding to cablers looking to update their competencies and questioning how they should go about gaining competencies to continue legally working in the industry. Registered Training Organisations have responded to the changes, offering courses to upgrade from restricted to Open registration and also gain specialised cabling competencies, Fibre, Structured and Co-axial. These qualifications have been deemed essential for the development of a skilled labour force that can work on IP technologies and the National Broadband Network. During the 2018/2019 financial year cabling registrations grew by 145 up from 6045 in 2017/2018, to reach 6190 active registrations at 30 June 2019. The majority of registrants (5626) opted to gain ‘Open’ registration as opposed to the limited ‘Restricted’ cabling registration (551), with the remaining balance (13) being for ‘Lift’ work. ASIAL continues to engage with ACMA and other cabling registrars to promote ongoing compliance and training in this sector. The registered cablers website is growing in the number of views and continues to provide vital information to industry and consumers about what to do in preparing for the nbn.

After extensive communication with ACMA and nbn both organisations are actively promoting the registered cablers website as the place to go for unbiased information on the nbn and smart cabling. ASIAL has partnered with the registered cabler committee to promote professional cabling practises at the Security Show SEC2018 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre and the Integrate show at the International Convention Centre in Sydney. During December 2018 the ACMA called for a review of regulation of telecommunications customer cabling. The review aims are to ascertain whether the existing arrangements will continue to provide the most effective approach for managing the risks associated with customer cabling as performed by cabling providers. Also to identify whether there are any issues or concerns with the existing arrangements. ASIAL made a submission to this consultation and the ACMA received a further 31 submissions from industry.

Regulatory Affairs As a heavily regulated industry, compliance with regulatory requirements continues to place a significant burden on security providers and impacts on industry profitability.

ASIAL provides compliance support to members to assist them in meeting their obligations. Whilst legitimate security providers endeavour to meet regulatory requirements, the Association receives complaints that electricians, IT providers and facilities management providers operating without a security licence or a requirement to meet any probity requirements. The services offered by these organisations include alarm installations, CCTV surveillance and the monitoring of security equipment. Whilst security Regulators rightly undertake audits of security businesses, ASIAL continues to engage with and encourage Regulators to tackle those persons and organisations operating without a licence. Permitting individuals and organisations to operate without the appropriate licence and probity presents a risk to the end user and a broader public safety issue. The security industry has been captured by the introduction of Labour Hire Licensing in Queensland and Victoria. Following industry engagement, we are pleased to see that South Australia has provided some exemption for the security industry for those providers who hold the appropriate Security Agents licence. ASIAL supports the intent of Labour Hire legislation however the compliance requirements of the legislation could be suitably built into the appropriate jurisdiction security licence legislation to avoid unnecessary compliance duplication and costs to business.

In Victoria, the majority of security firms who provide security guards to work in a client’s premises are required to register with the Labour Hire Authority. In Queensland, providers of security personnel such as crowd controllers to licensed premises are required to register, although the provision of other security personnel may or may not be captured by the scheme. Queensland and Victoria have called upon the Federal Government to implement a national regulatory response to govern labour hire legislation. It has been stated that the Australian Taxation Office and the Australian Border Force have recommended that the security industry be included in The Federal Governments National Labour Hire Registration Scheme. ASIAL continues to monitor activity in this area to ensure the security industry is fairly treated. With a greater understanding of and the implementation of Australia’s strategy for protecting crowded places from terrorism, security organisations have increased their response and involvement with compliance requirements. Although responsibility remains with the owners and operators of crowded places, security organisations must understand their client’s duty of care to take steps to protect people that work, use or visit the sites from a range of foreseeable threats including the threat of terrorist attack. In conjunction with their clients, security organisations need to facilitate compliance and inspection measures that include;

• A risk assessment and/or vulnerability analysis of the crowded place, and implement the appropriate mitigations, monitor them for effectiveness (including through audits), and review them at appropriate junctures. • Develop, implement, and regularly test a comprehensive security plan as a matter of good business and corporate responsibility. • Understand what the current terrorist threat environment means for the security of the site, including how security arrangements and plans may need to adapt to a change in the national threat level. • Raise awareness of possible security threats among staff and patrons. • Understand the main factors that influence terrorist target selection • Report any security incidents or suspicious activity to law enforcement at the earliest opportunity. Even the most robust and thorough protective security plan may not stop a terrorist attack on a crowded place from occurring or succeeding. Hardening and improving the resilience of crowded places relies on all stakeholders taking action to apply the strategy. ASIAL continues to support the four core elements of the strategy that includes;

• Building Stronger Partnerships • Enabling Better Information Sharing and Guidance • Implementing Effective Protective Security • Increasing Resilience

OPERATING REPORT

Workplace Relations Little seems to change for security providers with regulators placing increasing layers of red tape and extra costs on an already overburdened industry. Clients, including government, do not think twice to push the price down to unsustainable levels and then attack the industry for alleged exploitation of workers. ASIAL’s Workplace Relations Advisor assists members every day in their attempts to have clients and governments behave responsibly in contract negotiations.

On an individual level members have sought and received information, advice, templates, tools and representation in all aspects of workplace relations including, employment contracts, Enterprise Bargaining Agreements, disciplinary and dismissal matters, retrenchment, award interpretation and wage schedules.

Major Industry Activity – 2018/19 4 yearly Modern Award Reviews The 4 yearly Modern Award Review is coming to a long-awaited conclusion. The review that commenced in 2014 looks like being finalized towards the end of 2019. As in the past a number of Fair Work Commission conferences have taken place over the year. ASIAL has filed final submissions on the casual overtime question and the Plain English Language Draft will be finalized when that matter is determined, hopefully in November 2019. The Full bench confirmed ASIAL’s position on the issue of payment of annual leave on termination of employment and varied the Award in accordance with our submissions.

Major Cases United Voice ACT Branch filed an application in the Federal Court of Australia seeking relief from alleged underpayment of wages on behalf of their member employed by a member of ASIAL.

Labour Hire Licensing – Queensland, South Australia and Victoria The Queensland Government labour hire legislation has now been in place for a year and has shown no signs of impacting positively on the Security industry or resolving exploitation of vulnerable employees. The South Australian government has exempted the security industry from labour hire licensing and Victoria has introduced legislation the application of which is confusing and requires significant clarification. ASIAL’s attempts to garner exemptions in Victoria were, unfortunately, unsuccessful.

National Labour Hire Licensing Arising out of the Migrant Workers Taskforce Report released in March 2019, Recommendation 14, urged the Federal Government to establish a National Labour Hire Registration Scheme focused on labour hire operators and hosts in four high risk industry sectors — horticulture, meat processing, cleaning and security - across Australia. ASIAL expects that if there is to be a National Labour Hire Licensing Scheme covering Private Security we will be given the opportunity to make submissions to the Government to put a case for the industry.

The claim, simply stated, was that by allocating overtime on a Sunday over the period of a roster cycle the security firm breached the Security Services Industry Award 2010 and therefore underpaid the employee. The application was overturned and United Voice filed an appeal, which also failed.

Notes to the Financial Statements Note 1 Summary of significant accounting policies 1.1

AASB 9 did not have significant impact on the reporting unit and there have been no changes in classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities for the year ended 30 June 2019.

Basis of preparation of the financial statements The financial statements are general purpose financial statements and have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that apply for the reporting period, the Corporations Act 2001 and the Fair Work (Registered Organisation) Act 2009. For the purpose of preparing the general purpose financial statements, the Australian Security Industry Association Limited is a not-for-profit entity. The financial statements, other than the Statement of Cash Flows, have been prepared on an accrual basis and in accordance with the historical cost, except for certain assets and liabilities measured at fair value, as explained in the accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. Except where stated, no allowance is made for the effect of changing prices on the results or the financial position. The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars.

Future Australian Accounting Standards Requirements A number of new and revised standards have been issued but are not yet effective and have not been adopted early by the entity. Management is currently assessing the impact such standards will have on the entity.

1.5 Revenue Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue from membership subscriptions is accounted for on an accrual basis and is recorded as revenue in the year to which it relates. Receivables for services, which have 30-day terms, are recognised at the nominal amounts due less any impairment allowance account. Collectability of debts is reviewed at end of the reporting period. Allowances are made when collectability of the debt is no longer probable. Interest revenue is recognised on an accrual basis using the effective interest method.

1.2 Comparative amounts When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year. 1.3 Significant accounting judgements and estimates The following accounting assumptions or estimates have been identified that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period: • Land and buildings – refer to note 1.13 • Employee provisions – refer to note 1.7

1.4 New Australian Accounting Standards Adoption of New Australian Accounting Standard requirements Any new and revised standards that became effective for the first time in the current financial year have been adopted. The adoption of these amendments has not had a material impact on the entity. No accounting standard has been adopted earlier than the application date stated in the standard. Impact on adoption of AASB 9 (a) Initial application AASB 9 Financial Instruments (AASB 9) replaces AASB139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (AASB 139) for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, bringing together all three aspects of the accounting for financial instruments: classification and measurement; impairment; and hedge accounting. The reporting unit has applied AASB 9 retrospectively, with an initial application date of 1 July 2018. The reporting unit has not restated the comparative information, which continues to be reported under AASB 139. The adoption of ABN 91 000 813 365 I ASIAL 2019 Annual & Financial Report

Rental revenue from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

1.6 Gains and losses Sale of assets Gains and losses from disposal of assets are recognised when control of the asset has passed to the buyer. 1.7

Employee benefits A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, long service leave and termination benefits when it is probable that settlement will be required and they are capable of being measured reliably. Liabilities for short-term employee benefits (as defined in AASB 119 Employee Benefits) and termination benefits which are expected to be settled within twelve months of the end of reporting period are measured at their nominal amounts. The nominal amount is calculated with regard to the rates expected to be paid on settlement of the liability. Other long-term employee benefits which are expected to be settled beyond twelve months are measured as the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the reporting unit in respect of services provided by employees up to reporting date. Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions. Provision is made for separation and redundancy benefit payments. The reporting unit recognises a provision for termination as part of a broader restructuring when it has developed a detailed formal plan for the terminations and has informed those employees affected that it will carry

31

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019

out the terminations. A provision for voluntary termination is recognised when the employee has accepted the offer of termination.

1.8 Cash Cash is recognised at its nominal amount. Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with bank, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturity of 3 months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and subject to insignificant risk of changes in value and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short- term borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position. 1.9 Financial instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the reporting unit becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 1.10 Financial assets Initial recognition and measurement Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, and subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI), or fair value through profit or loss. The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics and the reporting unit’s business model for managing them. With the exception of trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component, the reporting unit initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs. In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortised cost or fair value through OCI, it needs to give rise to cash flows that are ‘solely payments of principal and interest’ (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level. The reporting unit’s business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the reporting unit commits to purchase or sell the asset. Subsequent measurement For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in five categories: • (Other) financial assets at amortised cost • (Other) financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income • Investments in equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income • (Other) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss • (Other) financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss

32

Financial assets at amortised cost The reporting unit measures financial assets at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met: • The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and • The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest (EIR) method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired. The reporting unit’s financial assets at amortised cost includes trade receivables and loans to related parties. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income The reporting unit measures debt instruments at fair value through OCI if both of the following conditions are met: • The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective of both holding to collect contractual cash flows and selling and • The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding For debt instruments at fair value through OCI, interest income, foreign exchange revaluation and impairment losses or reversals are recognised in profit or loss and computed in the same manner as for financial assets measured at amortised cost. The remaining fair value changes are recognised in OCI. Upon derecognition, the cumulative fair value change recognised in OCI is recycled to profit or loss. The reporting unit’s debt instruments at fair value through OCI includes investments in quoted debt instruments included under other non-current financial assets. Investments in equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income Upon initial recognition, the reporting unit can elect to classify irrevocably its equity investments as equity instruments designated at fair value through OCI when they meet the definition of equity under AASB132 Financial Instruments: Presentation and are not held for trading. The classification is determined on an instrumentby-instrument basis. Gains and losses on these financial assets are never recycled to profit or loss. Dividends are recognised as other income in profit or loss when the right of payment has been established, except when the reporting unit benefits from such proceeds as a recovery of part of the cost of the financial asset, in which case, such gains are recorded in OCI. Equity instruments designated at fair value through OCI are not subject to impairment assessment. The reporting unit elected to classify irrevocably its listed and non-listed equity investments under this category.

ABN 91 000 813 365 I ASIAL 2019 Annual & Financial Report


Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (including designated) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading, financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss, or financial assets mandatorily required to be measured at fair value. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. Derivatives, including separated embedded derivatives, are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Financial assets with cash flows that are not solely payments of principal and interest are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss, irrespective of the business model. Notwithstanding the criteria for debt instruments to be classified at amortised cost or at fair value through OCI, as described above, debt instruments may be designated at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition if doing so eliminates, or significantly reduces, an accounting mismatch. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with net changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. Derecognition A financial asset is derecognised when: • The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired or • The reporting unit has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; and either: a) the reporting unit has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or b) the reporting unit has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset. When the reporting unit has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if, and to what extent, it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the reporting unit continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of its continuing involvement together with associated liability. Offsetting Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

Impairment i) Trade receivables For trade receivables that do not have a significant financing component, the reporting unit applies a simplified approach in calculating expected credit losses (ECLs) which requires lifetime expected credit losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. Therefore, the reporting unit does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The reporting unit has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment. ii) Debt instruments other than trade receivables For all debt instruments other than trade receivables and debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss, the reporting unit recognises an allowance for expected credit losses using the general approach. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the reporting unit expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. ECLs are recognised in two stages: • Where there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses from possible default events within the next 12-months (a 12-month ECL). • Where there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the debt, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL). • The reporting unit considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are 90 days past due. However, in certain cases, the reporting unit may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the reporting unit is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows.

1.11 Financial Liabilities Initial recognition and measurement Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, at amortised cost unless or at fair value through profit or loss. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of financial liabilities at amortised cost, net of directly attributable transaction costs. The reporting unit financial liabilities include trade and other payables. Subsequent measurement Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (including designated) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019

liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in profit or loss. Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in AASB 9 are satisfied. Financial liabilities at amortised cost After initial recognition, trade payables and interestbearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in profit or loss. Derecognition A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.

1.12 Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets Contingent liabilities and contingent assets are not recognised in the Statement of Financial Position but are reported in the relevant notes. They may arise from uncertainty as to the existence of a liability or asset or represent an existing liability or asset in respect of which the amount cannot be reliably measured. Contingent assets are disclosed when settlement is probable but not virtually certain, and contingent liabilities are disclosed when settlement is greater than remote. 1.13 Land, Buildings, Plant and Equipment Asset Recognition Threshold Purchases of land, buildings, plant and equipment are recognised initially at cost in the Statement of Financial Position. The initial cost of an asset includes an estimate of the cost of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located. Revaluations—Land and Buildings Following initial recognition at cost, land and buildings are carried at fair value less subsequent accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Revaluations are performed with sufficient frequency such that the carrying amount of assets do not differ materially from those that would be determined using fair values as at the reporting date. Revaluation adjustments are made on a class basis. Any revaluation increment is credited to equity under the heading of asset revaluation reserve except to the extent that it reversed a previous revaluation decrement of the same asset class that was previously recognised in the surplus/deficit. Revaluation decrements for a class of

34

assets are recognised directly in the profit or loss except to the extent that they reverse a previous revaluation increment for that class. Any accumulated depreciation as at the revaluation date is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the asset is restated to the revalued amount. The freehold land and buildings were independently valued at 20 June 2018 by AON Valuation Services. The valuation was based on the fair value less cost to sell. The critical assumptions adopted in determining the valuation included the location of the land and buildings, the current strong demand for land and buildings in the area and recent sales data for similar properties. The valuation resulted in a revaluation increment of $1,050,000 being recognised for the year ended 30 June 2018. Together with a revaluation of $285,042 brought forward from 2017, the accumulated reserve came to $1,335,042 at 30 June 2018. Depreciation Depreciable property, plant and equipment assets are written-off to their estimated residual values over their estimated useful life using, in all cases, the straight line method of depreciation. Depreciation rates (useful lives), residual values and methods are reviewed at each reporting date and necessary adjustments are recognised in the current, or current and future reporting periods, as appropriate. The depreciation rates applying to each class of depreciable asset are:

Buildings – straight line basis Plant and equipment – diminishing value basis

2.5%

Derecognition An item of land, buildings, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in the profit and loss.

1.14 Investment property Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation (including property under construction for such purposes). Investment properties are measured initially at its cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured at fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment properties are included in profit and loss in the period in which they arise. An investment property is derecognised upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from the disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the property (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the period in which the property is derecognised. ABN 91 000 813 365 I ASIAL 2019 Annual & Financial Report


1.14 Impairment of non-financial assets All assets are assessed for impairment at the end of each reporting period to the extent that there is an impairment trigger. Where indications of impairment exist, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated and an impairment adjustment made if the asset’s recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Value in use is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. Where the future economic benefit of an asset is not primarily dependent on the asset’s ability to generate future cash flows, and the asset would be replaced if the reporting unit were deprived of the asset, its value in use is taken to be its depreciated replacement cost.

1.15 Taxation The entity is exempt from income tax under section 50.1 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 however still has obligation for Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) and the Goods and Services Tax (GST). Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of GST except: • where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office; and • for receivables and payables. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables. Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Taxation Office is classified within operating cash flows.

1.16 Fair value measurement The reporting unit measures financial instruments, such as, financial asset as at fair value through the profit and loss, available for sale financial assets, and non-financial assets such as land and buildings and investment properties, at fair value at each balance sheet date. Also, fair values of financial instruments measured at amortised cost are disclosed in Note 13A. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either: • In the principal market for the asset or liability, or • In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the reporting unit. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

ABN 91 000 813 365 I ASIAL 2019 Annual & Financial Report

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use. The reporting unit uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs. All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole: • Level 1—Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities • Level 2—Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable • Level 3—Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the reporting unit determines whether transfers have occurred between Levels in the hierarchy by re- assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period. External valuers are involved for valuation of significant assets, such as land and buildings and investment properties. Selection criteria include market knowledge, reputation, independence and whether professional standards are maintained. For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the reporting unit has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy.

1.17 Acquisition of assets and or liabilities that do not constitute a business combination The entity did not acquire an asset or liability due to an amalgamation under Part 2 of Chapter 3 of the RO Act, a restructure of the branches of the organisation, a determination or revocation by the General Manager of the Fair Work Commission under subsections 245(1) or 249(1) of the RO Act. Note 2 Going concern The entity is not reliant on the agreed financial support of another reporting unit to continue on a going concern basis. The entity has not agreed to provide financial support to another reporting unit to ensure they can continue on a going concern basis.

This means that valuations performed by the valuer are based on active market prices, significantly adjusted for the difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific property. As at the date of revaluation, 20 June 2018, the property’s fair value is based on valuation performed by AON Valuation Services, an accredited independent valuer.
