Covid continued to try and derail the season, and we saw some new terms like Covid Marshall, Vaccination Passport and CDE (conditions of entry) become part of our vocabulary. As much as this has shaped the season it did not stop it.

The loss of Larry in mid February, our colleague, friend and President was a shock for all, and our thoughts and prayers are with Pam and their families.

Ross Warburton has decided not to stand for re-election on the board. Ross started in 2016, taking on the Country Directors position in the same year.

Cody Packer’s elevation to the Jackaroo’s leadership group and good form during the trials has left his name firmly in sight for future Australian representation and hopefully the next Commonwealth Games.

Every person involved in High Performance is of the highest calibre.

Whether it’s at your club, league or state association all volunteers within our sport are to be respected and congratulated for the work they do to keep the sport moving forward especially in recent times.

Please acknowledge and support these businesses whenever possible. Government funding is still a corner stone of our financial stability, and we thank the State Government and in particular the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries for their support and recognizing our importance in the community.

MOVING FORWARD

Open gender, timing of games and heat rules will be issues on the table going forward and I urge all guardians of the game to embrace and help shape the future of our game.

BOWLS WA REPORTS - CEO

All in all the 2021/2022 year has proven to be a most successful one.

With the ever-present threat of COVID hanging over each and every action, in hindsight there was perhaps only a twothree week period where the pandemic directly affected the season.

Director of Finance’s report.

GOVERNANCE REVIEW CONTINUES

Ken Pride

The mid-season shut down of in particular the North Beach club was handled extremely well by club officials, with swift and reasoned actions ensuring a return to play in the shortest possible time.

The support given by the majority of clubs to the Government’s requirements also paved the way for a quick return and a safe, secure environment to both play and socialize – well done to all. It would appear the worst is now behind us and although it may be a different world than two years ago, it does give us confidence that we can come together when required for the greater good.

FINANICIAL VIABILITY In a very uncertain year, it was pleasing to note the Association was able to post a surplus of $25,340 after an anticipated deficit in the February 2021 Budget.

This was supported by an up and down period for the BWA Investment portfolio, which at the end of the calendar year (2021) was looking very healthy indeed. But as we have seen with various world affairs this promising period has backpedaled in the past six months – as most of our personal superannuation accounts will attest to !

Much has been communicated about the extensive Governance Review of the Association conducted last year. The review noted a number of areas that needed consideration and as a result the Board has embarked upon updating the BWA Constitution, a refreshed Strategic Plan (2022-2025), a Club Development Plan, plus a full review of the current Committee structures to ensure they meet the requirements of the above documents, both strategically and operationally.

A number of club officials have been involved in these processes in order to gain as wide as possible thoughts on the future direction of the Association; many thanks to those officials for their time and energy.

It is anticipated that the Strategic Plan will be presented to clubs at the Annual General Meeting in late July.

OPEN GENDER & OTHER ISSUES One of the most significant changes to metropolitan pennant this past year has been the commencement of Open Gender bowls. A legal requirement at the highest levels, the opening up of the competitions for 4th division and under (men) and 3rd division and under (women), allowed for a great many more teams to get on the green, ensuring most with a game either on Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday.

As with any new initiative there were some teething problems, however the Board is committed to continue to broaden the Open Gender opportunities. Following a Metropolitan Club Forum it was very apparent that clubs also want to progress this issue and as a result it will extend to 3rd division and under for the men on Saturday next season. At this time while more data is gathered all other competitions will remain as per 2021/2022.

That said the very conservative nature of those investments continue to perform well for the The other important area debated at the Metro Association and provide a firm financial footing Forum was the extreme weather conditions of play.

at the much delayed Nationals on the Gold Coast and the continued restructuring of the Open Gender pennant competitions.

Manning Memorial Bowling Club had an extraordinary year claiming almost every major award. Tuesday Premier League, Thursday and Saturday Premier Leagues all went the way of the club, with both Men’s and Ladies State Singles rounding out a superb year. It rightly culminated in the Metropolitan Club of the Year.

We look forward to 2022/2023 with much anticipation.

Participation/Membership and Club Development will remain at the forefront of operations, with some serious discussions to be had on the place OUTSTANDING SEASON’S RECOGNIZED of social and corporate bowlers in the system.

Finally, it’s taken a number of near misses but the win of the Connie Hicks Brooch by Lisa Featherby is reward for an outstanding year, where she played off in six major finals – certainly a reward for persistence and practice.

On the national stage the Australian titles of Blake Nairn (Singles) and the Mt Lawley team skippered by Mark Masel in the Fours was a great result with several other silver and bronze medals to show for a great few days on the Broadbeach greens. Then the icing on the cake with the announcement that Kristina Krstic will take her place at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games in the Jackaroos side. Recently celebrating her 100th test, it has taken a while but all West Aussies are thrilled for our first Games representative since 2006.

LOOKING AHEAD Much will take place over the next 12 months with the aforementioned Governance Review taking shape, the bedding down of the Strategic Plan, the return of high-performance competition

BOWLS WA REPORTS - HIGH PERFORMANCE

Once again, the National Side Series for Under 18’s, Over 60’s and the Open Team were cancelled due to Covid restrictions.

Pieter Harris

This season it was even more devastating than the previous year as teams had been selected with a number of players being selected for the first time or in the Under 18’s case becoming too old. Although extremely disappointing, Bowls Australia in conjunction with the State Associations had no other course of action under the circumstances.

At the end of October, all the members of the state selection panels came to the end of their term of appointment. However, due to the circumstances the Bowls WA Board offered all those who wished to continue a one-year extension to their term. Therefore Kerry Andersen (chair of the selection panel), Therese Hastings (women’s coach and open team selector), Tony Hockey (men’s coach and open team selector), Helen Stevens (open team selector), Lindsay Thorn (Over 60’s selector) and Linda Warburton (academy coach and under 18’s selector)) were all reappointed.

Ken Perks (under 18’s coach and selector), Jaewyn Norton (over 60’s selector) and Pieter Harris (open team selector) all decided not to take up the extension for various reasons.

As with all volunteer positions, being a dedicated coach and selector does take a lot of time and Bowls WA thanks those retiring members very much for their contribution over the years.

To fill the positions, advertisements were made, and it was very satisfying to be able

14

to appoint dedicated and experienced replacements. Blake Butler (under 18’s coach and selector), Margaret Anderson (over 60’s selector) and Kyle Mcilroy (open team selector) all came with renewed enthusiasm and have made wonderful contributions this season. As it was only a one-year appointment to bring them in line with all the High-Performance positions, all coaching and selection positions will be readvertised in November 2022.

After a successful inaugural Bowls Blitz concluding in August 2021, a second bowls blitz began and will run for a three-week period during July 2022. Blooms The Chemist Stars were the inaugural winners with a team makeup of Kristina Krstic (captain), Blake Nairn, Blake Butler, Lisa Brannan, Matthew Whitely, Ryan Brown, Joel Leeson, Segan Pasalich, Therese Hastings (manager). All players and high-performance managers enjoyed the opportunity to showcase their skills and push for either state team selection or future state squad selection.

Unfortunately, due to Western Australian Covid Restrictions and a decision by Bowls WA to keep people as safe as possible at the time, the annual Men’s and Women’s Country versus Metropolitan games were not played before Countryweek this season. We look forward to seeing those matchups continue in the 2022-23 season.

The Bowls WA Academy under the guidance of Linda Warburton, continued to hold regular sessions to upskill our potential state squad members. Members have been added and some have left after being involved for an extended period of time, as Linda continues to expose the players to drills and talks/ exercises with current and past state team members. Different clubs have also been exposed to what the Academy is about as sessions are taken to different clubs over the metropolitan area. If you are a club that has a clubhouse and a green available to host our future state players, then Linda would like to hear from you.

On behalf of the High-Performance State Selection Panel and I am sure all the players, we offer our congratulations to both Kristina Krstic and Cody Packer on their achievements and involvement in the Australian Jackaroos squad. Especially Kristina and her selection in the 2022 Commonwealth Games, a great achievement for a dedicated lady who has already given so much to the sport despite her young age.

In next year’s report we hope to be able to celebrate our success from the 2022 Nationals due to be held at Broadbeach BC, Queensland and we wish all the success to those selected for those teams competing, the Under 18’s team, Over 60’s teams and the Open Teams.

BOWLS WA REPORTS - UMPIRES

Another year impacted by COVID but this is expected to be the last. The impact of COVID being that we were unable to host an ITO Assessor course plus we had both this year’s and last year’s expiring Officials seeking reaccreditation.

In addition to Bowls WA events some WA officials gave their time to assist at some Bowls Australia events held in other states and two of our committee have been invited to officiate at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.

Peter Barnett

We were able to fulfil the responsibilities in the Umpires Committee charter, namely: • Co-ordination and delivery of Umpire accreditation courses. [full numbers below] • Allocating Umpires for all required Bowls WA events despite the challenges of Covid which caused changes to dates • Maintaining accurate and up to date records • Developing a pathway for Umpires to progress their skills • Responding to all communications • Developing and renewing policies related to umpiring issues.

Work continued with encouraging clubs to have and plan to have enough officials to operate effectively. I am pleased to report that currently all clubs have sufficient numbers of officials or plans to obtain them for the events in which the club participates.

Similarly, members of the committee have been inspecting metropolitan clubs Umpire’s Kits and assistance has been provided to clubs whose umpire’s kits are inadequate.

Work continued with Bowls Australia and Bowls WA on the development of re-accreditation criteria and process for Presenters & Assessors.

The proposals from Bowls Australia were reviewed and feedback given on modifications needed to allow for the logistics of reaccrediting our country P&As. At the time of writing this report we are waiting on a response from BA.

Lastly, I wish to thank the Committee members Over 230 bowlers attended officiating courses and others who have given up their time to run resulting in 216 new or renewed accreditations training courses, officiate at state events, hold this year. briefing sessions and attend meetings. Also, thanks to the clubs who have provided venues New Umpires: 36 Metro & 51 Country for these activities and the ever-helpful Bowls New Measurers: 12 Metro & 20 Country WA staff.

Reaccredited Umpires: 51 Metro & 35 Country Reaccredited Measurers: 3 Metro & 5 Country New Presenters & Assessors: 1 Metro & 2 Country While these numbers are sufficient to maintain enough competent officials, they are a drop on the previous year, in particular new metro umpires.

Overall, accredited officials make up 8% of the registered bowlers in WA. The drop out plus Not Yet Competent rate remains the same at approximately 5% of course attendees.

BOWLS WA REPORTS - GREENS & INFRASTRUCTURE

The Bowls WA Greens and Infrastructure Committee has been lucky to have very dedicated and longstanding volunteer members for a number of years. This stability has allowed the Committee members to build on their Jim Powell knowledge through both club and fellow Committee member exchanges.

I would like to thank each and every one of them for their continued dedication to the important role they fulfill each season.

home and away games for a period of time in November as they worked on their surfaces.

The makeup of Metropolitan Pennant greens continues to grow towards more synthetic greens and less grass greens. Currently synthetic, both carpet and sand filled surfaces, make up approximately 40% of Metropolitan Pennant Greens and that number continues to grow each year and shows little signs of slowing down.

While we are currently seeing the increase in new synthetic surfaces, over the next decade we are also likely to see an increase in the need to replace those same surfaces. Unlike grass surfaces that can be continually renovated and regenerated for many years, synthetic surfaces do have a life span and will need to be replaced at some point. Currently there is very little funding available to replace these surfaces. It will be very important for clubs to have a strong financial plan to provide both upkeep, to allow the surface to last as long as possible, and for replacement when it is required. Future Bowls WA Greens and Infrastructure Committee members will need to monitor and consult with clubs when those surfaces start to deteriorate and to make sure plans are in place for when the time comes.

October inspections can be both rewarding and difficult depending on the state of the surface being inspected. The Greens and Infrastructure Committee members understand how important it is for a club to have their greens ready for the upcoming pennant season and it can be a very difficult conversation to tell a club their greens have not been passed. Thankfully a majority of clubs are willing to work with us to get the desired result for both their club members and There were very few protests of substandard visiting players. greens during the season, and we hope this is because the surface being played on is at an Committee members have all had experiences acceptable standard. As always, we do require where they have seen clubs’ greens not passed clubs to let Bowls WA know if a surface is at inspection time one year, only to see with the deteriorating and may need to be reinspected for dedication of clubs and either their volunteers the good of future games at the venue or when and/or greenkeeper, those same greens improve State Events may be allocated to a club based on from year to year to become easily passed for no adverse reports on their greens.

BOWLS WA REPORTS - FIXTURES & EVENTS

As a volunteer group, the Fixtures & Events (F & E) committee, with the support of Bowls WA Competition and Talent Development Manager Pieter Harris, attempt to provide a structure to the WA bowling community by delivering a Leonie Potts pennant competition along with State Championships, Over 60’s events, Under 18 Championships, Country Weeks and various other major bowls events.

The Bowls Management committee (BMC) is made up of another group of volunteers who represent bowlers throughout the State.

They play an important role in considering recommendations made by the F & E committee before changes or decisions are implemented.

The members of this committee form a vital connection with the bowling community of which they are all members. I thank them for the support and encouragement they give to the F & E committee.

The number of participants entering both Men’s and Women’s State events showed an increase this season.

My thanks also to the Bowls WA Board and staff who have encouraged and supported our The F & E committee is currently made up of committee throughout the past year. The pool seven members who go about their duties of volunteers from the bowls community appears without expectation of any acknowledgement to be drying up and I implore lovers of the sport but enjoying being a part of the Bowls WA of bowls to consider taking on a role within one organisation. I thank them for their commitment of the Bowls WA committees. If you have ideas, and, as a bowler, I appreciate the fact that without suggestions or skills to offer that will support or them Bowls WA would not be able to provide improve our great game of bowls then bowls the competition structure that it currently does. I needs you now. Join a committee and help make would also like to thank the Greens and Umpires a positive difference to our sport. committee members of Bowls WA for their contribution to events.

Obviously, many other match officials and umpires at a club level are required to assist the F & E committee and these volunteers play their part in providing the competitive structure for bowlers to enjoy. I thank them all and appreciate the effort they put into supporting their individual clubs and Bowls WA. Another group that supports our committee are the green keepers and club officials who look after their clubs’ greens. Without the cooperation of clubs in making their facilities available for events, no competitions would take place. In particular I would like to thank those clubs who offered greens late in the season for the Mixed State Pairs.

I would like to note the continual difficulties to get sufficient venues to hold events. Should this continue, as a committee, we will need to look at different strategies.

The program offers seniors the chance to get together, exercise in a safe and friendly atmosphere within your club, and all conducted by experienced professional trainers that know exactly what to do to keep people in great shape. The program includes simple exercises as well education sessions to help participants grow older safely, and enjoyably.

Many times we hear that clubs would like to implement projects or ideas, but funding (and associated risk) can often curtail these great suggestions and improvements. To its credit Bowls WA is giving a series of grants to clubs to encourage the implementation of clever, new ideas, to encourage people to come to your club.

So, get some of your clever thinkers together in your club, and come up with a planned approach, talk to your RBM, and put together an application for one of these grants – they can be anywhere up to $5,000.

In adding the Fair Value loss on each of the financial assets ($46,293) and land and buildings ($359,875) to the cash surplus we can see the overall loss being $380,828.

The operating surplus was a good achievement, the impact of the revaluations on the Profit and Loss and Balance sheet disappointing. As has been included in the Annual Report our Auditors state clearly that the information we are presenting today is a “true and fair view” of our position as at April 2022; and that we have the capability to meet all our obligations. Again, a good audit with very view qualifications or concerns.

Finance Director the forecasts have been difficult but with upside on the horizon.

All credit to Ken Pride as CEO, and his staff who have turned them around into valuable surplus outcomes. This year however that appears more troublesome unless further income can be secured. The surplus outcomes from previous years implies it is not a time to cut costs on important areas such as Staffing, Club Development or the Marketing of the game and these are areas that the various committees and the Board work on.

This remains at the very centre of the new Strategic Plan – “Connecting more people through bowls in more ways more often”.

The Association remains well-resourced due to previous restraint and good management which enables us to move forward with confidence, and at no risk to the Association.

Affiliation fee increases in this period are 2%, with the income raised here ($762,376) representing 53% of total income, a smaller reliance than most other States and Territories.

This Standard amends AASB 101 to clarify requirements for the presentation of liabilities in the statement of financial position as current or non-current. For example, the amendments clarify that a liability is classified as non-current if an entity has the right at the end of the reporting period to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Annual Improvements 2018– 2020 and Other Amendments [AASB 9, AASB 16, AASB 116]

When these amendments are first adopted for the year ending 30 April 2024, there will be no material impact on the financial statements.

The Standard clarifies improvements and other amendments made to the following Standards: • AASB 9 Financial Instruments – clarifies which fees should be included in the 10% test for derecognition of financial liabilities.

• AASB 16 Leases – amends the illustrative example 13 by removing the illustration of payments from the lessor relating to leasehold improvements, to remove any confusion about the treatment of lease incentives.

• AASB 116 Property, Plant and Equipment (PP&E) – prohibits an entity from deducting from the cost of an item of PP&E any proceeds received from selling items produced while the entity is preparing the asset for its intended use. It also clarifies that an entity is ‘testing whether the asset is functioning properly’ when it assesses the technical and physical performance of the asset. The financial performance of the asset is not relevant to this assessment.

Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosure of Accounting Policies and Definition of Accounting Estimates

When these amendments are first adopted for the year ending 30 April 2024, there will be no material impact on the financial statements.

Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions The carrying amount of certain assets and liabilities is often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting year are: (i)

Estimation of useful lives of assets

The estimation of the useful lives of assets has been based on historical experience as well as manufacturers’ warranties (for plant and equipment) and turnover policies. In addition, the condition of the assets is assessed at least once every ye ar and considered against the remaining useful life.

Adjustments to useful lives are made when considered necessary. (ii)

Revaluation of land and buildings

The Association uses valuation techniques in determining the fair value of the land and buildings.

This involves developing estimates and assumptions consistent with how market participants would price the land and buildings.

Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position comprise cash at bank and in hand and short term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Inventories Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the net selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and net selling costs.

Property, plant and equipment Freehold land and buildings are shown at their fair value (being the amount for which an asset could be exchanged between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm’s length transaction). Valuations are performed whenever the Board believes there has been a materia l movement in the value of the assets, or at least every five years.

Property, plant and equipment (cont.)

Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of land and buildings are credited to a revaluation reserve in equity through other comprehensive income (OCI). Decreases that offset previous increases of the same asset are charged against the related revaluation reserve through other comprehensive income; all other decreases are charged to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

An annual transfer from the asset revaluation reserve to retained earnings is made for the difference between depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of the asset and depreciation based on the asset’s original cost.

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.

Plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Such cost includes the cost of replacing parts that are eligible for capitalisation when the cost of replacing the parts is incurred. All other repairs and maintenance are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

The cost of each item of property, plant and equipment is written off over its expected economic life, adjusted for any salvage value if applicable. The depreciation rates used for each class of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Buildings and building improvements Motor vehicles

Office furniture and fixtures Office and other equipment

2022

2021

2.5%

2.5%

7.5-22.5%

7.5-22.5%

30%

15-40%

30%

15-40%

The depreciation methods used are Prime Cost for Buildings and Diminishing Value for all other classes.

Assets of $300 or less are fully depreciated in the year they are purchased .

Derecognition

An item of property, plant or equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal.

Impairment

Property, plant and equipment is reviewed for impairment if there is any indication that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Employee entitlements Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non -monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled and repo rted as current liabilities in the statement of financial position.

Revenue recognition Revenue comprises revenue from affiliation fees, sale of goods, rental income, interest revenue and other income. (i) Affiliation fees Revenue in relation to affiliation fees is recognised over the period the performance obligation is met. (ii) Sale of goods Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when the control of goods passes to the customer. (iii) Rental income Rental income arising from agreements is accounted for on a straight -line basis over the agreement terms and included in revenue in profit or loss. (iv)

Interest revenue

Revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant year using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly d iscounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. (v)

Grant income

Grant income for contracts with sufficiently specific performance obligations is recognized over time as the performance obligations are satisfied. Grant income for contracts that do not have sufficiently specific performance obligations is recogni sed immediately upon receipt. (vi)

Other revenue

Other revenue is recognised when the A ssociation gains control, economic benefits are probable and the amount can be measured reliably.

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

•

when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable, and receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included.

Commitments are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.

Income taxes The Association is exempt from income tax under Division 50-A of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.

Financial instruments

Recognition, initial measurement and derecognition

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Association becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument and are measured initially at fair value adjusted b y transactions costs, except for those carried at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value. Subsequent measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities are described below. Financial assets are derecognised whe n the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and all substantial risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.

Classification and subsequent measurement of financial assets

The Association classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories: • those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income (OCI) or through profit or loss), and • those to be measured at amortised cost.

The classification depends on the Association’s business model for managing the financial assets and contractual terms of the cash flows.

For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or OCI. For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the Association has made an irrevocable election at the t ime of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).

All financial assets are subject to review for impairment at least at each reporting date to identify whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Different criteria to determine impairment are applied for each category of financial assets, which are described below. All income and expenses relating to financial assets that a re recognised in profit or loss are presented within finance costs or finance income.

Debt instruments

The Association’s debt instruments include trade receivables. Trade receivables are measured at amortised cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derec ognition is recognised directly in profit or loss and presented in other gains/(losses). Impairment losses are presented as separate line item in the statement of profit or loss.

Equity instruments

The Association’s equity instruments include listed and u nlisted securities. The Association subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains an d losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognised in profit or loss as other income when the Association’s right to receive payments is established.

Impairment

The Association assesses on a forward-looking basis, the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

For trade receivables, the Association applies the simplified approach permitted by AASB 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be re cognised from initial recognition of the receivables.

Comparative information Comparative information has been restated where required for consistency with current year disclosures.

BOWLS WA REPORTS - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF THE ROYAL WESTERN AUSTRALIAN BOWLING ASSOCIATION INC Opinion We have audited the financial report of Royal Western Australian Bowling Association Inc (‘the Association’), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 April 2022, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and the Declaration by the Members of the Board.

In our opinion the accompanying financial report gives a true and fair view of the financial position of the Association as at 30 April 2022, and of its financial performance for the year then ended in accordance with the Associations Incorporation Act 2015 and the Australian Accounting Standards to the extent described in Note 2 to the financial statements.

Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Association in accordance with the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (‘the Code’) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

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

Emphasis of Matter – Basis of Accounting We draw attention to Note 2 to the financial report, which describes the basis of accounting. The financial report has been prepared for the purpose of fulfilling the Members of the Board of the Association’s financial reporting responsibilities under the Associations Incorporation Act 2015. As a result, the financial report may not be suitable for another purpose. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Responsibilities of Members of the Board for the Financial Report Members of the Board are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and have determined that the basis of preparation as described in Note 2 to the financial report is appropriate to meet the requirements of the Associations Incorporation Act 2015. The Members of the Board’s responsibilities also includes such internal control as the Board determines is necessary to enable the preparation of a financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial report, Members of the Board are responsible for assessing the Association’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless Members of the Board either intends to liquidate the Association or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Members of the Board are responsible for overseeing the Association’s financial reporting process.

BOWLS WA REPORTS - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards 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 this financial report.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit.

We also: •

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, 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 Association’s internal control.

•

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Members of the Board.

•

Conclude on the appropriateness of the Members of the Board’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Association’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 report 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 Association to cease to continue as a going concern.

•

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with the Members of the Board 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.
