ASIAL Annual & Financial Report 2009

“The association has continued to maintain its position as the industry’s premier representative body throughout Australia and has enjoyed strong membership growth for the year, with members exceeding 3,000.”

ASIAL Annual & Financial Report 2009

Message from the President It is my pleasure to introduce you to the Australian Security Industry Association’s 2009 Annual report. This year in line with environmental, financial and technological best practice your annual report is provided in an electronic format (hard copies are available on request). I am pleased to advise that the association has continued to maintain its position as the industry’s premier representative body throughout Australia and has enjoyed strong membership growth for the year, with members exceeding 3,000. The last year has seen the culmination of years of work and vision by your Association.

Security Industry House ‑ After 40 years the Association finally took ownership of its own building with the purchase of Security Industry House. The Association’s new home on Sydney’s lower north shore provides 450m2 of office space over 4 levels, with parking for 11 vehicles.

ASIAL 40th Anniversary ‑ In 2009 the Association celebrated its 40th anniversary. During the course of the year a series of articles were published reflecting on the Association’s progress since its formation in 1969 and a special 40th anniversary dinner was held at Crown Melbourne.

Life members ‑ Three new life members were honored with the Association’s highest accolade, that of life membership. Larry Circosta, Arthur McIntyre and Peter Rae were recognised for their outstanding contribution to the growth and development of the Association.

National consumer awareness campaign ‑ Building on the success of last year’s national consumer awareness campaign, further campaigns went to air during December and April.

Application to become an Employer Registered Industrial Organisation ‑ A Registered Industrial Organisation of Employers is a formally registered body allowing for the representation of members in the Australian Industrial Relations Commission. After considerable discussion, the Board unanimously decided to lodge an application to become registered. To satisfy the requirements of registration, the Association will need to move from registration under the Corporations Act 2001 to registration under the Workplace Relations Act 1996. This will require amendments to the ASIAL Constitution. An Explanatory Memorandum will be circulated to Members outlining the proposed changes and a ballot will be taken at the National AGM in October on whether to adopt the proposed changes to the Constitution.

ASIAL Annual & Financial Report 2009

Message from the President In preparing this report and revisiting the activities of the association over the past year, I am reminded of the hundreds of voluntary hours that are contributed by branch Chairmen, special interest group convenors and members, and security industry council members. These people in combination with our secretariat are the foundation of our association and continue to drive it forward. In closing I would like to give my thanks and gratitude for the continued contribution and effort exerted by the ASIAL team led by Chief Executive Officer Bryan de Caires, fellow directors, Branch Chairmen special interest and working groups, without whom the continued success and growth of this association would not be possible.

ASIAL Annual & Financial Report 2009

SECRETARY’s REPORT Despite a challenging economic environment the Association has managed to post a strong performance over the past year. Due to careful management of expenditure levels and steady revenue growth, the Association has generated a pre‑tax surplus of $65,758 for the year. One of the most significant events of the past year was the purchase of Security Industry House by the Association. The 2 storey, 4 level commercial property on Sydney’s lower north shore represents a major milestone for the Association. In addition to housing the Association’s secretariat, the property also provides an opportunity for the Association to generate additional revenue through tenanted offices. The Association has continued to promote members through its ongoing consumer awareness campaign (investing $131,396 over the year) and directed additional resources to develop a range of new member services.

Two of the key drivers for revenue growth over the year were membership subscriptions and Security Insider. Other areas that performed well included seminars, the cabling registry and special events. The Association’s annual conference performed below expectation due to lower than expected delegate registrations.

The Year in Review Life members

National consumer awareness campaign

Three new life members were announced at the Association’s 40th Anniversary celebrations for their contribution to the growth and development of the Association.

Building on the success of last year’s national consumer awareness campaign, further campaigns were aired during the months of December and April.

Larry Circosta ‑ Larry served as Director, Secretary and President of the Association. As the architect of the Association’s uniform and consistent national approach to industry licensing, Larry has been a tireless advocate and ambassador for the Association and industry.

The television adverts once again featured broadcaster and journalist Bob Hughes and urged consumers to always use appropriately licensed security personnel and to ensure that they are members of ASIAL.

www.asial.com.au/consumerinformation

The combined campaigns reached an audience of 19 million (comprising 12.5 million in metro areas and 6.5 million in regional areas) through 775 spots (323 airing in metro areas and 452 in regional areas). Larry Circosta accepts his award for lifetime membership with ASIAL.

Peter Rae ‑ as a Director and Secretary, Peter provided astute advice and stewardship of the Association’s finances. In his acceptance speech, Larry Circosta acknowledged that without Peter’s support, integrity and candid counsel he would not have been able to achieve what he did. Together Peter and Larry provided a formidable partnership in steering the association towards what it has become today. Arthur McIntyre ‑ as a Director and Vice President, Arthur was heavily involved in the formative years of the Association’s Annual Conference and Exhibition, including a period as Chair of the Board Committee managing the conference and exhibition. He was also a key driver in the development of Security Insider magazine.

ASIAL Annual & Financial Report 2009

The metropolitan markets reached included Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth. The regional markets reached included Queensland, Northern NSW, Southern NSW, Victoria, Mildura, Western Australia, Central Australia, Darwin, Riverland SA, Mt Gambier SA, SGT Net SA and Tasmania. To complement the advertising campaign, a series of video presentations targeting domestic and commercial users of security were prepared by the Association to outline the services provided by the industry and to promote the use of ASIAL member companies. www.asial.com.au/ASIALVideoLibrary

The Year in Review the Australian Industrial Relations Commission to become an Employer Registered Industrial Organisation (a formally registered body allowing for the representation of members in the Australian Industrial Relations Commission hearings both individually and collectively by officers of the registered organisation).

www.asial.com.au/SecurityForYourHome

As a registered organisation ASIAL would be entitled to carry out representation of its members in the AIRC, Federal Court and the Federal Magistrates Court. In order to satisfy the requirements of registration as an Industrial Organisation of Employers under the Workplace Relations Act 1996, the Association will need to move from registration under the Corporations Act 2001 to registration under the Workplace Relations Act 1996.

www.asial.com.au/SecurityForYourBusiness

Award modernisation Over the past year, following extensive consultation with members and other peak industry bodies, ASIAL through its Industrial Relations advisor Chris Delaney, provided leadership in framing and developing a national award for the security industry. The National Employment Standards and modern awards will commence on 1 January 2010. Employers who are constitutional corporations will be bound by new modern industry based awards covering all employees in an industry throughout Australia. A single award covering the manpower sector throughout Australia will come into effect from 1 January 2010.

Application to become an Employer Registered Industrial Organisation With the introduction of the Fair Work Australia legislation and the significant changes to the industrial relations landscape, the Association has sought to ensure that it is able to continue to provide professional representation for its members. After several years of discussion, the ASIAL Board unanimously decided to lodge an application with

This means that there will need to be amendments made to the ASIAL Constitution. An Explanatory Memorandum will be sent out to Members outlining the proposed changes. A ballot will then be taken at the National AGM in October on whether to adopt the proposed changes to the Constitution. If ASIAL’s application is successful, it will provide formal recognition as the peak body for the security industry and an opportunity to expand and improve the range of IR services provided to members.

Forging partnerships The Association has worked hard to forge stronger partnerships with law enforcement and regulatory agencies around the country. This included a high level crisis management exercise with Tasmania Police. The exercise provided an opportunity for the Tasmanian private security industry and Tasmania Police to assess their respective capabilities and to work together in removing potential barriers to their effective inter‑operability in the event of a major crisis. Other activities included ASIAL’s participation in a Project Griffin briefing conducted by South Australian Police, participation at the national Armed Robbery Monitoring program facilitated by the Australian Institute of Criminology and discussions with the Australian Federal Police. The Association initiated and assisted in the review of the Australian Standard for Guards and Patrols (AS4421), with a revised document shortly to be put out for public comment.

The Year in Review Member services ASIAL membership continues to grow as improved and more tailored benefits and services are brought on stream. Amongst some of the improvements made to services include:

Online jobs and careers resource ‑ further enhancements have been developed for the Association’s online jobs and careers resource for the security industry.

The Association is also an active participant on the Board of the Australian Communications and Electrical Alliance. The Association engaged in ongoing dialogue with the Office of Fair Trading (QLD), Office of Consumer & Business Affairs (SA), Security Industry Registry (NSW), Consumer Affairs and Fair Trading, (TAS), Licensing Enforcement Division (WA), Licensing Services Division (VIC) and Department of Fair Trading (ACT). In addition, submissions were provided in response to the COAG Harmonisation of the Private Security Industry Working Group, Victorian Review of the Private Security Act 2004 and Private Security Regulations 2005 and the Victorian Law Reform Commission’s Consultation Paper ‘Surveillance in Public Places.’

ASIAL Annual & Financial Report 2009

The Year in Review Awards for Excellence The 14th Annual Australian Security Industry Awards for Excellence were presented at Crown Melbourne on the 30th April 2009. The awards recognised outstanding organisations within the security industry and serve as an independent benchmark of the quality of their work. Winners of this year’s awards included:

In House Security Team ‑ Melbourne Cricket Club and Westpac Banking Corporation.

Integrated Security Solution ‑ Wilson Security. Training ‑ Australian Institute of Public Safety.

ASIAL Cabling Registry ASIAL’s Cabling Registry registered a growth of 3.58% over the past year, with the total number of ASIAL registrations rising from 5,138 to 5,322. The most significant growth was experienced in the ‘Open’ category which encompasses cablers at the higher end of technology, and in either the commercial building or the so called ‘smart’ home. They include the contemporary monitored security alarm, surveillance or access control installation, which in its present‑day complexity and precision calls for increasingly higher levels of competency and knowledge from the technician. Besides confirming, in a technician, a higher level of formal cabling training and, in many cases, superior industrial experience, Open registration is now also the cabling qualification of choice, with the Restricted level becoming increasingly inadequate to allow technicians to complete projects without supervision. When less than a decade ago the security industry would have predicted its requirements for cabling training and registration to be at the lower end, it is now accepted that the skill sets recognised by the holding of a Restricted registration are insufficient for most of the work involved in electronic security today. New ASIAL Open registrations now outstrip Restricted registrations by well over three to one, while the long established trend of many cablers to upgrade their recognised skills and qualifications from the level at which they initially registered to the highest available is also increasing ‑ in some cases with additional specialist training being undertaken by cablers to secure for themselves a further point of differentiation on the landscape.

“Through the Centre for Compliance a comprehensive range of tailored professional development courses are now available to members.” The ACMA has yet to finalise its proposed change to the time period for which a cabler’s registration may be permitted to lapse without requirement for them to request the Authority’s dispensation to renew their registration. The proposed change had been to increase this ‘grace period’ from one to 12 months, with ACMA estimating that nearly 100% of cablers who request dispensation whilst not having been in expiry more than 12 months, currently receive the concession. As at June 2009 an updated edition of the Cabling Competency Pathways document was still out for public comment, however it is not expected that any of the logical but fairly minor changes it contains will attract controversy. The document, which in its successive previous editions has proved very helpful in assisting prospective ASIAL registrants, is the joint product of work by training providers, skills councils, collective industry bodies, Registrars, major industry players (such as carriers) and ACMA.

Disciplinary Matters ASIAL’s Disciplinary Committee met once during the course of the year. In accordance with the ASIAL Constitution, during the course of the year 188 members were expelled from the Association. ASIAL Annual & Financial Report 2009

ASIAL Annual & Financial Report 2009

Significant Events After Balance Date No significant events have taken place after the balance date.

Likely Developments and Expected Results Directors have budgeted on a small surplus for the coming year. Depending on the results of non‑mutual activities, tax may again be payable. At the end of June 2009, following several years of discussion, the Board lodged an application with the Australian Industrial Relations Commission (AIRC) to become an Employer Registered Industrial Organisation. If successful, as a registered organisation, ASIAL will be entitled to carry out representation of its members in the AIRC, Federal Court and the Federal Magistrates Court. The Association continues to build on its consumer awareness campaign to promote the use of ASIAL member companies. Compliance remains a key priority for the Association, with a range of initiatives planned. The balance in the fund established for the Centre of Compliance is expected to be sufficient to cover this. The association continues to benefit from the support of AON and Liberty in raising standards and the compliance monitoring of members. The Association’s obligations under State legislation for compliance and continuing professional development have been provided for in the budget. The Association is in the process of developing an industry certification and assessment scheme to further raise the level of professionalism within the industry.

Independent Audit Report to Members Report on the Financial Report We have audited the accompanying financial report of Australian Security Industry Association Limited which comprises the balance sheet as at 30 June 2009 and the income statement, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement for the year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies, other explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration. The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report and have determined that the accounting policies described in Note 1 to the financial statements, which form part of the financial report, are appropriate to meet the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and are appropriate to meet the needs of the members. The directors’ responsibility also includes establishing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. In our opinion the financial report of Australian Security Industry Association Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: (a) giving a true and fair view of the company’s financial position as at 30 June 2009 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and (b) complying with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the year ended 30 June 2009

1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including Australian Accounting Interpretations), of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the company in the preparation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.

Reporting Basis and Conventions The financial report has been prepared on the accruals basis and in accordance with the historical cost convention and does not take into account changing money values or, except where stated, current valuations of non‑current assets. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

Accounting Policies (a) Revenue Recognition

Members’ and other subscriptions or fees are accounted for when invoiced and taken to profit in equal quarterly amounts over the period to which they apply.

Income in respect of the various activities of the company, with the exception of special events/functions, is accounted for when invoiced. Income in respect of special events/functions is accounted for when received.

Income received and expenses incurred in advance of activities are carried in the balance sheet as unearned income and prepayments respectively until the relevant activity is completed, when all the profit is taken up. If a loss is expected, a provision for the likely loss is made as soon as it becomes apparent.

Costs of developing new services are expensed as incurred.

(b) Income Tax

Income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income).

Current income tax expense is based on the profit from non‑mutual activities for the year adjusted for any non‑assessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or are substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the income statement except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.

The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the economic entity will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.

ASIAL Annual & Financial Report 2009

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the year ended 30 June 2009 (c) 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, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short‑term borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet.

(d) Trade and Other Receivables

Trade receivables are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less a provision for any uncollectible debts. A provision for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written‑off as incurred.

(e) Property, Plant and Equipment

Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value as indicated less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Property

Freehold land and buildings are shown at their fair value (being the amount for which an asset could be exchanged between knowledgeable and willing parties in an arm’s length transaction), based on periodic, but at least triennial, valuations by external independent valuers, less subsequent depreciation for buildings.

Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of land and buildings are credited to a revaluation reserve in equity. Decreases that offset previous increase of the same asset are charged against the revaluation reserve directly in equity; all other decreases are charged to the income statement.

Any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset.

Office Equipment

Office equipment is valued at its cost and reduced by depreciation and impairment losses. The carrying amount is reviewed annually by directors to ensure that it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets.

Depreciation is calculated on either the straight line or the diminishing value basis over the useful lives of the assets to the company.

(f) Leases

Leases are classified at their inception as either operating or finance leases based on the economic substance of the agreement so as to reflect the risks and benefits incidental to ownership.

Operating Leases

The minimum lease payments of operating leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased item, are recognised as an expense on a straight‑line basis.

Finance Leases

Leases which effectively transfer substantially all of the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item to the company are capitalised at the present value of the minimum lease payments and disclosed as assets under lease. A lease liability of equal value is recognised.

ASIAL Annual & Financial Report 2009

Australian Security Industry Association Limited ABN 91 000 813 365

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the year ended 30Â JuneÂ 2009

Capitalised lease assets are amortised over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the assets and the lease term. Minimum lease payments are allocated between interest expense and reduction of the lease liability with the interest expense calculated using the interest rate implicit in the lease and charged directly to the Income Statement.

The cost of improvements to or on leasehold property is capitalised, disclosed as leasehold improvements, and amortised over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements, whichever is the shorter.

(g) Employee entitlements

Provision is made for employee entitlement benefits accumulated as a result of employees rendering services up to the reporting date. These benefits include wages and salaries, annual leave and long service leave.

Liabilities arising in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and any other employee entitlements expected to be settled within twelve months of the reporting date are measured at their nominal amounts. All other employee entitlement liabilities are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflow to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. In determining the present value of future cash outflows, the interest rates attaching to government guaranteed securities, which have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related liability, are used.

(h) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the company 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.

(i) 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. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the balance sheet are shown inclusive of GST.

(j) Comparative Figures

When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.

These directors deal with the company on the same terms as all other members and do not receive any remuneration. Other transactions between related parties are on normal arm’s length commercial terms and conditions unless otherwise stated. During the year a company controlled by a director, Antony Elliott, charged $8,977 (excluding GST) for installing a security system at the company’s premises. This excludes the cost of the equipment ($8,203) which that company acquired from a third party and charged on at its cost.
