PRESIDENT’S REPORT GERALDINE BROWN
I once again present this report with a sense of achievement and with great pride. The year has not been without challenges but our excellent staff, with their efficiency and can-do attitude achieve outstanding results for Oceania. Our Confederation continues to be recognised by BWF as efficient, productive and proactive. Change and growth is an integral and vital part of any organisation and we have certainly experienced that this year. We value the close working relationship we have with the BWF and thank them for their investment over the next 5 years for additional personnel to enable us to deliver more to our members. We now have staff based in three countries; headoffice in Auckland - New Zealand, Suva – Fiji and Port Moresby – Papua New Guinea. Although this presents new challenges to our management team, it allows us to deliver more in the Pacific Islands with plans for both Monte (Kum On Tarawa) in Fiji and Kini Karo in PNG to work with neighbouring countries. Tom Leonard, who we recruited from the UK as our Communications and Events Manager, was another welcome addition to our team in the later part of the year based in the Auckland office. Tom has a wealth of experience in the communications field and brings a range of new skills and knowledge into the organisation. The Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games were held in April in Australia and whilst we did not have any direct involvement, we had several people appointed to key roles as well as technical officials and volunteers assisting. We had three countries involved at the Games: Australia, Fiji and New Zealand; unfortunately no podium finishes but experiences the players will remember forever.

The year started early February with a player development camp for our Pacific Island countries, and the World Academy of Sport Administrator’s and Event Organiser’s Courses all held in Auckland. These were followed by the North Harbour International and Oceania Championships.
Coaches continue to grow both in numbers and quality.
The 2018 Annual General Meeting was held in conjunction with the BWF Annual General Meeting, with 10 of our Member Countries attending. This meeting was notable as the new constitution, approved by the 2017 meeting, was implemented with a newly elected Executive Board. Also, at this meeting the POWA (President of Oceania Women in Badminton Award) winner was announced and presented to Nynette Sass from Samoa.
We continue to be part of the Pacific Sports Programme in the Pacific – PSP; utilising Shuttle Time to deliver programmes in Tonga and PNG as well as leading a Media and Communications project across five countries. Thank you to Ben Exton for his work over-seeing our PSP programmes.

We continue to work alongside our member countries to ensure good organisational management including planning, regular meetings, establishing clarity of roles, responsibilities, communication and reporting to ensure development and sustainability. We had Member Association (MA) Agreements in place with six countries in 2018 plus PSP agreements with 2 others: PNG and Tonga. These agreements clearly outline our organisational structure requirements and the agreed KPI’s for each programme area which is relevant for that particular MA.

Badminton Oceania continues to be supported through PSP to build the capacity of badminton federations in the Pacific to conduct quality sport for development programs.

Increased public diplomacy opportunities – in collaboration with ABC’s Aaron Kearney delivered Media and Communications workshops in 5 countries (Tonga, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Samoa and Vanuatu) open to all PSP sports to attend.
The PSP programme has allowed us to build capacity in these countries by: • engaging staff to deliver, monitor the programme and report; • building a larger workforce, by delivering many Shuttle Time workshops • delivering in outer islands and rural/outlying communities • creating partnerships with other sports and local organisations • connection with Australian High Commission Tonga – health focus – improving health related and public diplomacy opportunities behaviours which impact on NCD risk factors, focusing on increasing levels of physical activity: • Increased levels of regular participation of Ben Exton has been overseeing PSP for us for Tongans, including people with disability, in the last few years, at the end of 2018 he stepped down from this role, the BOC office will now quality sport activities • Improved health related behaviours of manage the program.

February
It was another busy year for events in the region with the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games and three new events: South Australia International, Australian Para-Badminton International and the Oceania Para-Badminton Championships. These new events were all very successful and we hope to see them as permanent fixtures on our calendar.
VICTOR Oceania Team Championships Hamilton, New Zealand February
It is very pleasing to see both the New Zealand and Australian Open’s included in the new HSBC BWF World Tour, both at a Super 300 level, attracting some of the best players in the world to the region. It continues to be a challenge to stage BWF grade 3 events in the region; our goal is to have one of each level (future series, international series, international challenge) in both New Zealand and Australia and to have at least two in the Pacific Islands each year, however significant financial resources will be required to achieve this. We see these events as being important to support our player development programme as it is always better for our players to play events in the region rather than to have to travel vast distances.

The World Academy of Sport Event Organisers Course was held in conjunction with the Administrators course in February as an introductory events course. We then held two very productive courses in Melbourne for event organisers as we aim to ensure both consistency and quality presentation and organisation across our events. The Oceania Men’s and Women’s Team Championships followed by the individual Championships were hosted by New Zealand in February with Australia winning both team competitions and going forward to represent Oceania at the Thomas & Uber Cup finals in Bangkok where both teams struggled to win a tie against strong opposition.

TECHNICAL OFFICIALS PETER COCKER - CHAIR
2018 was a very busy year for the Oceania region as far as Technical officials were concerned. Along with our usual program of Oceania events and BWF appointments, our officials were also involved in the Commonwealth Games. This event had over 70 Technical Officials from Oceania’s Commonwealth Countries involved and provided two weeks of fantastic badminton and experiences for our officials. The year also marked the end of BWF Line Judge terms for Bruce Napier, Colin Harris, Gail Speight, and Sunny Bhatnagar on the International Panel. BOTOC thanks them for their service at all levels of tournaments over many years and we are sure that we will still see them at Oceania and local events. Lynne Nixey has, after more than 20 years, not sought another official term on BOTOC. However, she is not lost to the committee as she will continue to be involved through her position with Badminton Oceania. We thank her for the work and commitment she has delivered to Tech-
nical Officials over her time on the committee and we welcome Jean-Philippe Berges from New Caledonia onto the committee for next year. This year the BWF released two manuals to assist with the training of Technical Officials – Umpires – Level One and Line Judges. These manuals will assist greatly in the training of our Officials. Next year we look forward to receiving Umpires – Level Two and Referees – Level One. 2018 saw the inaugural Australia Para-Badminton International Championships held in Geelong, followed by the Oceania Para-Badminton Championships. A number of our officials took the opportunity to learn new skills officiating at these events. Badminton Oceania officials perform at the highest level and it is with some pride that we watch their performances on the world stage. This year, in addition to their domestic duties, our officials were officiating all around the world at the following events:

While our numbers are relatively small, you can see from where our Officials have been over the year that we make quite an impact. We would like to see an increase in the numbers of officials from outside Australia and New Zealand onto the International panels. There are opportunities for Pacific officials to reach the highest level if they have the will and commitment to achieve this, and the Badminton Oceania Technical Officials Committee (BOTOC) will do all it can to help them reach their goals. Badminton Oceania was fortunate to be able to access BWF Development Funding to assist some of our Officials to attend International Events during the year. Recipients of this funding were Cynthia Tam, Kelvin Tsui, Sidney Galos and Justin Zuo. This funding also enabled us to fund some Pacific Island Umpires to our International events for experience.
26
During the year, Badminton Oceania has formalised our Assessment process and appointed members of an Umpire Assessment panel for the interim year. These members were David Turner, Mark Speight, Trish Gubb and Susan Taylor. 2019 will see a new panel being appointed for the next four years. The BWF funded David Turner, Mark Speight and Trish Gubb to attend a workshop for Assessors held in Birmingham during the All England Championships.

PARA-BADMINTON Australia continues to lead the way in Para-Badminton development and participation with increasing numbers in programmes across several States. It has been pleasing to see some new initiatives implemented in Fiji, Papua New Guinea and New Zealand as these countries strive to develop their own programmes. Some of the key development initiatives which took place were: • Australian Para-Badminton training camp and national championships • Fiji Para-Badminton introductory sessions • PNG Para-Badminton introductory sessions • New Zealand (North Harbour) Little People of NZ Para-Badminton Day • New Zealand (Hawkes Bay) Para-Badminton Open Day The next step for some participants from the incountry development programmes is to play in organised competitions: local, national and international with the ultimate achievement playing at the Paralympics . In 2018 we had three players attend international events outside of our region: • Caitlyn Dransfield (AUS)
Dubai Para-Badminton International
FZ Forza Irish Para-Badminton International
28
• Corrie Robinson (NZL)
Hulic Daihatsu Japan Para-Badminton International
• Celine Vinot (AUS)
FZ Forza Irish Para-Badminton International
We contracted Ian Bridge (AUS) to deliver the first ParaBadminton development sessions in both Fiji and Papua New Guinea. Following these initial sessions both Fiji and PNG have continued to further develop their Para-Badminton programmes. Fiji was represented by Iosefa Rakesa in the SS6 classification at the VICTOR Oceania Para-Badminton Championships, winning a bronze medal. These two countries will be the focus of our development programmes again in 2019. In November the inaugural Para-Badminton International tournaments were held in Geelong, Australia; the Australian Para-Badminton International and the VICTOR ParaBadminton Championships. With the knowledge that we were the only Continent to not stage a BWF sanctioned event it was a priority for us to ensure that these events took place and were delivered to a high standard. We took the lead on these events with assistance from Marianne Loh from Badminton Australia.
Held alongside the Australia Para-Badminton International were two classifiers courses: an international and a national course. Both courses were led by BWF International Classifiers. The international course had three candidates including one from Australia. The national course had 9 attendees: 8 from Australia and 1 from New Zealand. Also aligned with these events was the training of several of our Umpires to officiate Para-Badminton matches which now provides them with a pathway to higher level international events. Para-Badminton is a relatively new area for us with plenty of opportunities for development to increase participation and performance.

The two events were held consecutively with over 200 people from 24 countries involved over 10 days. There were a number of challenges we had to over-come in particular accommodation and transport which have greater requirements than able-bodied events; however overall we were very pleased with what we achieved and learnt a lot which will be of benefit for future events. Thank you to Geelong Badminton and all volunteers who played a part in the success of these events.

MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS The organisation has grown and responded to digital growth by implementing a new website to be released in 2019 - and making new efforts in the digital space, creating and sharing content such as live-streaming and increased social media presence. Achievements from 2018 include: Increased website visits 254,484 (26,000 more than previous year) New website begins creation - to be made public in May 2019.
In November 2018, we appointed Tom Leonard in a new role, Communications and Events Manager, funded by the BWF Continental Confederation HR project. The role will oversee the implementation and maintenance of the new website , graphic design, live streaming, social media, press, e-mail marketing and working with our members to enhance communications efforts and event logistics for badminton throughout the region.
Creation of weekly internal newsletter – shared with the Executive Board and BWF. Sponsorship agreement renewed with VICTOR.
Live-stream partnership developed with OVO - via Badminton Australia for all events taking place in Australia. Over 67,500 views on the live-stream provided at eight events across the region. Increased video creation and engagement player interviews, match reflection and clips of rallies.
Increased Facebook presence and engagements: • 1200+ more followers • Monthly average reach of 83,000 • Over 209,000 combined engagements

COACH EDUCATION Coach Education in the region during 2018 hit a new milestone. After several years of delivering BWF Level 1 we took the next step in the Coach Education pathway to stage the first BWF Level 1 tutor and BWF Level 2 Coach courses in the region. With the assistance of BWF we were fortunate to engage the expertise of former Badminton England High Performance Manager Martin Andrew to lead the courses with Robbie Thackham – BOC Coaching and Development Manager assisting, with nine people from two countries gaining their BWF Level 1 Tutor qualification and ten people from four countries gaining their BWF Level 2 coach qualification. It is very pleasing to see that both Australia and New Zealand have ensured that coaches working with their national junior players have completed the BWF courses. BWF Level 1 courses continued to be held in New Zealand and Australia. New Zealand held one course which included two people from the Cook Islands while Australia held three courses, in different States. Across the region we have more people being trained as coaches using the global BWF framework which links closely with our player development programme. TOTAL BWF Level 1 Coaches by Country Country

PLAYER DEVELOPMENT 2018 has seen a range of Development initiatives taking place to increase the level of badminton across the region. The Player Development programme is broken down into 3 Tiers which target the range of different abilities across the region. The following Development initiatives and opportunities have taken place during 2018: • Oceania Training Camp (Auckland, NZ) – Tier 1, 2, and 3 – 30 Players, 5 coaches • Asia Training Camp (Indonesia) – Tier 1 – 8 players, 2 Coaches • In-Country Training Camps (Cook Islands, Fiji, PNG, Samoa) Tier 3 • U15 Training Camp & Tournament (Auckland) – Tier 3 – 6 players, 1 coach • AIMS Games (Tauranga, NZ) – Tier 3 – 34 Players, 4 coaches • Targeted Individual Training Programmes– Tier 2 –3 Players • Player Scholarships
The key training camp initiative for the year was held prior to the North Harbour International and VICTOR Oceania Championships in North Harbour, in January. There was a total of 34 players and 4 coaches who attended and participated in the training camp. The camp consisted of a number of on-court and off-court training activities which included presentations on anti-doping and nutrition. Following the camp the players competed in both the North Harbour international and VICTOR Oceania Championships.
One of the key competitions in 2018 was the Buenos Aires Youth Olympic Games. We had 3 representatives from the Oceania region at this event who have all come through the Tier 1 and 2 Player Development programme over the past 2 years. Oscar Guo (NZL) qualified in his own right as the 13th ranked Junior player in Men’s Singles, Zecily Fung (AUS) took the continental spot for a Women’s Singles player and Chang Ho Kim (FIJ) qualified with a tripartite place. All 3 of the players came away with a medal from the mixed country team relay event. Oscar Guo and Chang Ho Kim were both members of team Omega who placed 2nd and received the silver medals while Zecily Fung was a member of team Theta who placed 3rd and received the bronze medal.

In April the Tier 1 Junior Development camp was held in Jakarta, Indonesia and linked in with the Jaya Raya Junior Grand Prix tournament. Nine players; 4 from Australia, 4 from New Zealand, 1 from New Caledonia and 2 coaches attended this training camp. Tier 2 was very targeted with Ronan Ho-Yagues - from New Caledonia joining the tier 1 camp in Indonesia and another player – Louis Beaubois from Tahiti attending a training camp for 2 weeks in Hamilton, New Zealand where he had the opportunity to train as a part of their high performance programme led by former Commonwealth Games gold medalist Tracey Hallam.
Other training initiatives that took place in the Tier 3 Programme included an U15 training camp which was held in Auckland, New Zealand followed by a NZ regional U15 tournament for players from the Cook Islands. The highlight and biggest event for players from the Pacific was the AIMS Games 2018 which saw a record number of 35 players from 3 countries (Tonga, Cook Islands and Samoa) attending along with their coaches and local supporters. Below are some of the results from the competition: • Division 2 Boys Singles – Saula Fisi’ihoi (TGA): Runner Up • Division 3 Boys Singles – Emanuela Mataio (COK): Runner Up • Division 4 Boys Singles – Eliapo Eliapo (SAM): Runner Up • Division 5 Boys Singles – Chris Peti (SAM): Winner • Division 6 Boys Singles – Sam Samuela (SAM): Winner

During this time Chang Ho also competed in the New Zealand U19 National Championships in Wellington where he had the opportunity to get match experience before heading to the Youth Olympic Games in October. The Tier 3 Player Development programme is the largest area of player development and featured a range of training activities throughout 2018. Four countries experienced in-country training camps facilitated by Badminton Oceania appointed coaches. These countries and coaches were: • Cook Islands – Aidan Karati (BWF Level 2 Coach) • Fiji – Ian Bridge (BWF Level 2 Coach) • Papua New Guinea – Ian Bridge (BWF Level 2 Coach) • Samoa – Robbie Thackham (BWF Level 2 Coach / BOC Coaching and Development manager)

7. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Credit Risk The values attached to each financial asset in the Statement of Financial Position represents the maximum risk. Concentrations of Credit Risk The Confederation is exposed to credit risk concentration in that a substantial proportion of grant income is received from the Badminton World Federation (BWF). However, credit risk is considered low. Fair Value The carrying amount of bank balances, accounts receivable, investments, and accounts payable, is the fair value for each of these classes of financial instrument. Currency and Interest Rate Risk The interest rate on the bank account is variable. The Confederation seeks to obtain the most competitive market rate of interest at all times. The Confederation is exposed to foreign exchange risk resulting from the exchange rate ruling at the transaction date. 8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES Operating lease commitments, under non-cancellable operating leases, to which the Confederation is subject, are as follows:2018 $31,262 $0 $31,262
Less than 1 year 1 to 2 years 2 to 5 years
2017 $31,262 $31,262 $0 $62,524
The Confederation currently has a property lease until December 2019 No contingent liabilities existed at 31 December 2018 (2017: $Nil). 9. SEGMENT ACCOUNTING The Confederation operates within the Oceania Region. It is wholly involved in promoting the amateur sport of Badminton. 10.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT Report on the Financial Statements Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of the Badminton Oceania Confederation Incorporated (“The Confederation”) on pages 1 to 10, which comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2018, the statement of financial performance, statement of movements in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, the statement of accounting policies and other explanatory information. In our opinion, the financial statements on pages 1 to 10 are prepared, in all material respects in accordance with the special purpose framework described in Note 1 to explain the society’s financial performance and financial position to the members of the society based on accounting principles commonly used in New Zealand.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (ISAs (NZ)). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described below in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Confederation in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 (Revised) Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Other than in our capacity as auditor we have no relationship with, or interests in, the Confederation.
Special Purpose Framework
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with a special purpose framework for the purpose of reporting to members and, as a result, the financial statements may not be suitable for another purpose.
Restriction on Responsibility
This report is made solely to the members, as a body, in accordance with the constitution and by-laws of the Confederation. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
Executive’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Executive is responsible for determining that the special purpose framework described in Note 1, based on accounting principles commonly used in New Zealand is acceptable in the Confederation's circumstances, for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the special purpose framework chosen to explain the society's financial performance and financial position to the members of the society and for such internal control as the Executive determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (Continued) In preparing the financial statements, the Executive is responsible for assessing the Confederation’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Executive either intends to liquidate the Confederation or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are 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 ISAs (NZ) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (NZ), we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: • identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control • obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Confederation's internal control • conclude on the appropriateness of the use of the going concern basis of accounting by the Executive and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Confederation 's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Confederation to cease to continue as a going concern • evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. We communicate with the Executive regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
