Rewi Panapa had been a driving force in the establishment and development of this wänanga, from its early days as the Waipa Kökiri Arts Centre to the institution it is today. Rewi was the first Chairperson of Te Mana Whakahaere. His commitment and contribution to the wänanga will always be remembered.

Te Mana Whakahaere (Council) Chairperson’s Report Tënä rä koutou i roto i ngä mihi ki ö tätou mate tärürü nui e hinga nei, e hinga nei. Tënei rätou kua riro ki te käpunipunitanga o ngä wairua, ki tua i te pae o maumahara, ä, waiho ake ana tätou i konei haku ai, taute ai ki a rätou. Ko te whakatau noa ake, ko rätou ki a rätou, ko tätou i roto i te wä nei. Kei te mihi hoki ki to tätou Arikinui, Te Ata-i-rangi-kaahu. Tënä anö tätou katoa. The 2005 financial year has been one of the toughest in Te Wänanga o Aotearoa’s 20-year history. I would like to thank Te Mana Whakahaere and all staff for their efforts and commitment in ensuring the continued professional experience for students during what was a very difficult year. The period was marked by intense political criticism and scrutiny and high-profile and unhelpful media coverage, which impacted severely on the institution’s reputation and morale. This situation has had a very real impact on the wänanga and its ability to continue to maintain the momentum it had until now enjoyed. The 2005 financial year marked the first decline in student enrolments for the institution since its creation, a decline of almost 10,000 students from 66,387 in 2004 to 57,843. The outcome of this decline was a significant loss for the period, made up of operating losses driven by increased overheads and spending against a reduction in enrolments and revenue. As explained in our 2004 Annual Report, intense political scrutiny has contributed to the delay in tabling the 2004 and 2005 Annual Reports. The delay is attributed to our strong commitment to address the issues raised by the Office of the Auditor-General in its ‘Inquiry into Certain Aspects of Te Wänanga o Aotearoa’. Contributing factors include extensive debate with the auditors about two qualifications that appear in this report and having to meet what the Council believes to be extraordinary reporting required by the Auditor-General's audit service provider, Deloitte, in terms of the documentation requested along with numerous questions. Despite providing substantial documentation, we have not received an unqualified opinion, which Te Wänanga o Aotearoa had received without exception until last year. It has been an expensive and lengthy process

that has, despite all realistic efforts and provision of requested documentation, failed to achieve an outcome deemed to be fair and reasonable by Te Mana Whakahaere. The pressures endured by Te Wänanga o Aotearoa throughout 2005 have forced some difficult decisions to ensure the institution’s continued survival. We are appreciative of the continued support we have received while charting a new course for the consolidation and rebuilding of the organisation. This new course includes creation of a new organisational structure and consolidation of our position in the tertiary sector. This programme of reform has and will continue to result in a refreshed institution that will continue to contribute to the educational aspirations of all New Zealanders. The priority of Te Mana Whakahaere is to ensure the survival of Te Wänanga o Aotearoa and the opportunities it provides through the embracing and nurturing experience that is ähuatanga and tikanga Mäori. Changes implemented by Te Mana Whakahaere were further driven by a signalled change in Government tertiary policy, with a move away from access and participation. This will have a significant impact on Te Wänanga o Aotearoa students who are predominately second chance learners returning to education. The organisation is concerned that these fiscally driven policies will continue to marginalise those people who rely on education to improve their cultural, social and economic growth. The composition of Te Mana Whakahaere was modified in July 2005 in response to the challenges then experienced by the organisation. The Council was consolidated to a five-member board. This smaller Te Mana Whakahaere ensured the agility needed to navigate what was a very testing period. Outcomes included the creation of an organisational restructure plan (Kökiri Whakamua and Te Anga Whakamua), recruitment of a new executive management and a complete audit of courses to determine their value to students and the institution. The Office of the Controller and Auditor-General released its report on the ‘Inquiry into Certain Aspects of Te Wänanga o Aotearoa’ in December 2005. This report and other internally driven audits have added value in providing

Te Mana Whakahaere (Council) Chairperson’s Report - 9


guidance in priorities for the redevelopment required within Te Wänanga o Aotearoa. It was through this period that the decision was taken by Te Mana Whakahaere to engage PricewaterhouseCoopers to assist with the implementation and introduction of commercial management and governance practices more appropriate to the scale of the organisation the wänanga has become. This move was also driven by a desire to secure stronger confidence from government funders. In December 2005, Dr Rongo Wetere resigned as Tumuaki. His vision to improve the lives of all people through education and to impact positively on communities was the foundation of this institution. His vision will live on in the kaupapa of the Te Wänanga o Aotearoa. We also welcomed Bentham Ohia as Pouhere / CEO for Te Wänanga o Aotearoa. Bentham continues a solid and rewarding career within the institution and brings to the position a dynamic can-do attitude coupled with a solid experience in senior tertiary education management. He also enjoys wide support from within the organisation, essential to ensuring we remain united through these difficult times.

As Chair, I would like to thank all Council members, our Pouhere, John Mote who was Chief Operations Officer through 2005 and Brian Roche and his team. In particular, Te Mana Whakahaere would again like to express gratitude and appreciation to all staff for their resilience and commitment to the survival of the institution. It has been through this commitment that we have continued to attract significant enrolments in what has been a very difficult period. It has also been through the dedication of staff that retention (83%) and completion (77%) rates for the institution have been further enhanced. I look forward to the continued support of staff, iwi and stakeholders to ensure the fruits of education remain available to all within our community.

remain available to all within our community.

Kia atawhai mai te Runga Rawa ki a tätou e noho manene nei huri noa i te motu i ënei wä ihiihi. Kia whakahönoretia ia i roto i ngä timatanga me ngä whakaotinga körero.

Paimärire ki a tätou. It is both a privilege and pleasure to be at the helm of Te Wänanga o Aotearoa, albeit in an interim role as acting CEO. Firstly, I would like to acknowledge the hard work of all past and present supporters of the organisation. The events of 2005 destabilised and paralysed the organisation for a significant part of the year. This resulted in a lack of mobilisation, motivation and leadership within the organisation and impacted on the ability of the Te Wänanga o Aotearoa to achieve all of the 2005 key performance indicators. The World Indigenous Peoples’ Conference on Education (WIPCE) was a successful showcase that Te Wänanga o Aotearoa should be proud of. It brought together thousands of people from many countries to celebrate indigenous cultures. To complement the academic programme, cultural events were scheduled to enhance the theme “Te Toi Roa” - Indigenous Excellence. Sub themes included leadership, research and development, and new horizons of knowledge. The manner in which Te Wänanga o Aotearoa staff volunteered their time and services, whilst in the midst of the Tribunal hearing and the inquiry by the Crown, showed their commitment and pride in all that Te Wänanga o Aotearoa fosters and aspires to achieve.

dreams of our people come true. Dr Wetere has made a huge impact on the lives of thousands of people from many different cultures. He will always be considered a visionary leader who initiated positive transformation for Mäori, New Zealanders and indigenous people across the world. We wish him all the best for the future.

I päkükü te pere e koe kia haramai ngä tini makiu ki tö taha, tärai ai i te täonga nei – kei whea mai ngä mihi körero möu? anei ake, anei ake. In closing, I would like to thank all staff, Council members, tauira, whänau, hapü, iwi, external organisations and communities who have collectively put their talents and abilities to work for the benefit of Te Wänanga o Aotearoa. Kia kaha tätou. Kia ora rawa atu,

Bentham Ohia MBA

We accepted, with sadness, the resignation announcement of our founding Tumuaki, Dr Rongo Wetere, late in the year. This was no small issue for our institution. The mana, charisma, skill and passion of Dr Wetere within Te Wänanga o Aotearoa, among iwi and in the tertiary sector still resonates within the ethos of our wänanga. His legacy will be that Te Wänanga o Aotearoa remains a Mäori institution at the forefront of learning by providing innovative education and making the

2005 Overview

Crown Relationship

Charter

In 2005, the Hon Minister of Education appointed Brian Roche of PricewaterhouseCoopers as, firstly Crown Observer and subsequently Te Mana Whakahaere appointed a Crown Manager of Te Wänanga o Aotearoa. The Crown Manager has had a working relationship with Te Wänanga o Aotearoa Council, the acting Chief Operations Officer and the acting Chief Executive Officer during the 2005 year. It is intended that this relationship will continue in 2006 with a view to establish the long term viability and sustainability of Te Wänanga o Aotearoa in the tertiary education sector.

Te Wänanga o Aotearoa’s current charter was approved by the Associate Minister of Education (Tertiary Education) in 2003. It came into effect on 1 January, 2004 and is due to expire on 31 December, 2007.

Waitangi Tribunal Claim Wai1298 The Waitangi Tribunal Claim (Wai1298) was lodged by Harold Maniapoto and Tui Adams (the Claimants) on behalf of the Aotearoa Institute Te Kuratini o Ngä Waka Trust Board. The claim related to disputed issues of control over Te Wänanga o Aotearoa, the range of programmes it may deliver and the diversity of people to whom it can deliver. The issues arose from the tension between the Crown’s right and responsibility to govern the institution and the self-determination or autonomy of the founding iwi, as found in and practised by its wänanga. Discussion surrounding the concept of a wänanga focussed on the term ‘ähuatanga Mäori’ (translated as ‘Mäori tradition’) as stated in Section 162 of the Education Act 1989. The Tribunal considered the translation of the term as ‘incomplete’. It stated that, while ‘ähuatanga Mäori’ can include tradition, this does not fully cover all that is implied in the term. The Tribunal considered the task of a wänanga is to teach using Mäori methods and in a Mäori way, and should be open to all who wish to learn by those methods and in that way. The Tribunal identified more than a dozen breaches of the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, emphasising that these breaches stem primarily from the Crown’s failure to acquire a proper understanding of the nature of wänanga. The major objective in going forward is to work with the Crown on building a stronger relationship.

12 - 2005 Overview

On the 23 March, 2005, the then Hon. Minister of Education, Trevor Mallard, directed Te Wänanga o Aotearoa to review its Charter. Te Wänanga o Aotearoa was instructed to take, as a starting point for the review the definition of a wänanga as set out in Section 162 of the Education Act 1989. Successive drafts of the Charter were submitted to the TEC throughout 2005. After each submission, TEC responded with additional areas for development. Te Wänanga o Aotearoa made these changes if they were in line with institutional aims, objectives, values and strategic direction. The Waitangi Tribunal Claim Wai1298 placed the redevelopment of a Charter in abeyance.

Profile 2006 – 2008 Te Wänanga o Aotearoa’s Profile 2006-08 demonstrates how the institution will give effect to its Charter and indicates the future intentions and directions of the institution. A major focus of the Profile is to maintain our unique kaupapa, long-term financial viability and the changes that will improve the quality of our organisation. A key aspect of the Profile is to operationalise an agreement between Te Wänanga o Aotearoa and the Crown regarding a shared understanding of the core role of Te Wänanga o Aotearoa. This includes negotiating a shared understanding of mätauranga Mäori, ähuatanga Mäori and Te Tiriti o Waitangi obligations. It is the institution’s view that such an agreement, including strategies for embedding mätauranga Mäori in the education system, will support the success of Mäori and others to achieve their educational aspirations. It will also bring a common understanding of, and stability to, the relationship between Te Wänanga o Aotearoa and government agencies.


Development of capability within Te Wänanga o Aotearoa is another key goal identified in the Profile. This will involve:

Academic Quality Initiatives

• intensive training and development of staff;

Te Wänanga o Aotearoa undertook a self-assessment review of various aspects of its operations, including those relating to programme development, programme approval and quality assurance policies and processes. As a result of this activity, a number of initiatives were implemented, including:

• centralisation and consolidation of an expert curriculum unit which will focus on providing consistent and high-quality product to tauira and tutorial staff in regionalised delivery sites; and • support of staff who contribute directly to quality teaching and learning. These improvements will be supported by streamlining and strengthening business operations and tauira support services. The Profile was approved by the TEC during December, 2005.

A1J1 Review In 2005, the TEC initiated the A1J1 Assessment of Strategic Relevance (ASR) Review of programmes in the tertiary sector funded under the A1 and J1 funding categories. The aim of the review was to assess the quality and relevance of programmes to ascertain future funding levels. The TEC selected eleven programmes offered by Te Wänanga o Aotearoa to review. The programmes contributed 65.4% to Te Wänanga o Aotearoa income equating to nearly $113million per annum.

• a complete review of all policies to ensure better consistency and cohesiveness; • a standardisation of programme development practice; • the introduction of a rigorous programme approval process; and • a complete review of the Quality Management System. This work was incorporated into the institutional restructuring exercise undertaken during the year, initially through Kökiri Whakamua and subsequently through Te Anga Whakamua. This restructuring activity will continue into 2006. It is proposed that the restructure will reconfigure the functions of the existing academic area into two closely-related directorates, those of teaching and learning and support services. A primary intention of this reconfiguration is to enhance the quality of all aspects of the academic area by clearly defining roles and responsibilities, identifying management lines, clarifying processes and procedures and establishing key performance indicators to measure success.

The initial assessments by the TEC resulted in a finding of low strategic relevance for most of the programmes being reviewed. Subsequent re-submissions and negotiations with the TEC have resulted in ten programmes achieving strategic relevance with further discussion to follow. It is anticipated that all programmes will achieve strategic relevance on completion of the process.

2005 Overview - 13


Seventh World Indigenous Peoples’ Conference on Education 2005 (WIPCE) The WIPCE Conference was hosted by Te Wänanga o Aotearoa in collaboration with the University of Waikato and the Waikato Institute of Technology. The conference commenced in November with an official pöwhiri at Türangawaewae Marae, hosted by Te Arikinui Dame Te Ata-i-rangi-kaahu. The conference was held at the University of Waikato ending with a cultural extravaganza at the Waikato Stadium, attended by in excess of 10,000 people. The theme of the conference was ‘Te Toi Roa’ – Indigenous Excellence. Several events took place prior to and during the conference with a focus on emphasising arts and culture and including youth and community participation. A total of 2,752 delegates attended the conference from 20 countries including Hawaii, Australia, Canada and Aotearoa New Zealand. One of the achievements of the conference was that the key success of WIPCE 2005 was not that it was a conference, but more that it was a celebration. WIPCE promoted cultural and linguistic diversity among indigenous people and demonstrated a collective commitment to indigenous values by honouring elders and youth. The success of the conference was a tribute to the leadership of Dr Wetere and Aroha Te Kanawa and the contributions of staff.

Age Profile

Te Wänanga o Aotearoa is committed to increasing participation in tertiary education, through reducing barriers and raising the foundation skills of tauira to enable them to begin a path of life-long learning.

The trend relating to age demographic of tauira has remained relatively constant since 2001, with those in the 40 plus age group making up approximately 40% of the tauira population. The following table shows age demographic statistics for 2005.

Tauira Numbers

Ethnicity Profile Numbers of Mäori tauira engaging in education has remained strong since 2001. The proportion of tauira Mäori has decreased from 2002 as a result of increased numbers of Asian tauira joining language and settlement programmes. The following table shows ethnicity statistics for 2005.

Te Wänanga o Aotearoa continued to attract comparably high numbers of second chance learners in 2005. These tauira are key to the achievement of our kaupapa.

Equal Opportunities for Employees

In accordance with its kaupapa, Te Wänanga o Aotearoa strives to be a good employer. As part of this commitment, the organisation is inclusive of all people, regardless of culture, ethnicity, age or gender. Full-time equivalent employee (FTEs) numbers have decreased to 1393 in 2005. This was, in part, as a result of a decrease in tauira numbers and, in part, bought about by organisational restructuring. The following table shows FTEs numbers for 2001 to 2005. FTEs

Financial Review EFTS Our total EFTS achieved this year was 27,014. This was a decrease of 9% on the results for 2004. The main decrease in EFTS occurred in the Mahi Ora, Te Ara Reo Mäori and Kiwi Ora programmes. These decreases were offset to some extent by increases in the enrolments for our business and computing programmes.

The income profile for 2005 remained consistent with the profile from last year. However, in actual dollar terms the drop in Government funding was mirrored by a similar drop in other income.

Expenditure The profile of our expenditure is shown in the table below.

Two properties were disposed of during the year. These were the Öhaupö Road property near Hamilton and the Whangaparäoa property. This was part of an ongoing rationalisation of owned and leased properties which occurred during the year.

Personnel costs have increased in relation to all other costs within the organisation. This is partly a reflection of the change in the programme mix offered during 2005 when compared with previous years. Furthermore the organisation began to incur the first stage of costs associated with its restructure.

Overall Financial Performance

Cash Flow

The net deficit of $9.7m was greater than the budgeted deficit of $4.2m. The main drivers of this variance were EFTS targets not being reached ($8.5m shortfall) and personnel costs exceeded budget by $4m. However it was pleasing to note that other costs achieved a savings of $7.6m against budget.

The opening cash balance held at the organisation was $14.7m. There was a negative net cash flow from operations of $5.4m for the year and a positive net cash flow from financing activities of $6m. However these were offset by a negative cash flow from purchases of property, plant and equipment of $5.5m.

Income

Accordingly the total net decrease in cash balances was $4.9m giving a closing cash balance of $9.8m. This amount included the $6m treasury facility that was drawn-down at year end.

Report of the Auditor General TO THE READERS OF TE WÄNANGA O AOTEAROA TE KURATINI O NGÄ WAKA AND GROUP’S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2005 The Auditor-General is the auditor of Te Wänanga o Aotearoa Te Kuratini o Ngä Waka (the Wänanga) and group. The Auditor-General has appointed me, Stephen Lucy of Audit New Zealand, using the staff and resources of Deloitte, to carry out the audit of the financial statements of the Wänanga and group, on his behalf, for the year ended 31 December 2005.

We draw attention to the fact that the scope of the audit for the year ended 31 December 2004 was limited because the Wänanga and group did not maintain adequate systems and controls during the year ended 31 December 2004 to identify all related party transactions, including any amounts receivable from or payable to related parties as at 31 December 2004. In our opinion, except for adjustments that might have been found to be necessary had we been able to obtain sufficient evidence over related party transactions, the financial statements and the comparative information of the Wänanga and group on pages 18 to 30 and 36 to 62: • comply with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand; and

Qualified Opinion – Limitation in Evidence for Related Party Transaction Disclosures between 1 January 2005 and 8 March 2005 The Wänanga and group did not maintain adequate systems and controls between 1 January 2005 and 8 March 2005 to identify all related party transactions. Following the appointment of the Crown Manager on 8 March 2005, adequate systems and controls were put in place to identify such transactions. Despite the disclosures in Note 6 on page 43 and Note 20 on pages 56 to 58 and adequate systems and controls being put in place to identify related party transactions after 8 March 2005, we are unable to satisfy ourselves, for the transactions made between 1 January 2005 and 8 March 2005: • that all related party transactions have been properly recorded and disclosed in the financial statements, in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard No.9: Information to be Disclosed in Financial Statements (FRS-9), and Statement of Standard Accounting Practice No. 22: Related Party Disclosures (SSAP-22); • that the related party transactions have been conducted on an arm’s-length basis; and • that the assertions underlying the recognition of related party transactions in the financial statements of the Wänanga and group fairly reflect their economic substance.

• fairly reflect: - the Wänanga and group’s financial position as at 31 December 2005; - the results of operations and cash flows for the year ended on that date; and - the service performance achievements measured against the performance targets adopted for the year ended on that date. The audit was completed on 31st August 2007, and is the date at which our qualified opinion is expressed. The basis of our opinion, which refers to fundamental uncertainties, is explained below. In addition, we outline the responsibilities of the Council and the Auditor, and explain our independence.

Basis of Opinion We carried out the audit in accordance with the Auditor-General’s Auditing Standards, which incorporate the New Zealand Auditing Standards. However, the scope of our work was limited due to the limitation in evidence over the disclosure of related party transactions. We planned and performed the audit to obtain all the information and explanations we considered necessary in order to obtain reasonable assurance that the financial

Financial Review - 33


statements did not have material misstatements whether caused by fraud or error. Material misstatements are differences or omissions of amounts and disclosures that would affect a reader’s overall understanding of the financial statements. We are unable to determine whether there are material misstatements because the scope of our work was limited due to the limitation in evidence over the disclosure of related party transactions, as we referred to in our opinion.

Fundamental Uncertainty – Validity of the Going Concern Assumption In forming our opinion, we considered the adequacy of the disclosures made on pages 36 and 37 of the financial statements about the validity of the going concern assumption. We consider the disclosures to be adequate. The disclosures outline the factors the Wänanga and group considered in adopting the going concern assumption, including:

The audit involved performing procedures to test the information presented in the financial statements. We assessed the results of those procedures in forming our opinion.

• the uncertainty over the actual number of Equivalent Full Time Students that will be enrolled for the years ending 31 December 2007 and 31 December 2008; and

Audit procedures generally include:

• the uncertainty over the Council’s negotiations for a $20 million Crown suspensory loan to settle an outstanding Treaty of Waitangi claim.

• determining whether significant financial and management controls are working and can be relied on to produce complete and accurate data; • verifying samples of transactions and account balances; • performing analyses to identify anomalies in the reported data; • reviewing significant estimates and judgements made by the Council; • confirming year-end balances; • determining whether accounting policies are appropriate and consistently applied; and • determining whether all financial statement disclosures are adequate. We evaluated the overall adequacy of the presentation of information in the financial statements. We did not obtain all the information and explanations we required because of the limitation in evidence over the disclosure of related party transactions, as explained above.

34 - Financial Review

If the Wänanga and group were unable to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, adjustments may have to be made to reflect the situation that assets may need to be realised other than in the amounts at which they are currently recorded in the Statement of Financial Position. In addition, the Wänanga and group may have to provide for further liabilities that might arise, and to reclassify fixed assets and long-term liabilities as current assets and liabilities.

Responsibilities of the Council and the Auditor The Council is responsible for preparing financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand. Those financial statements must fairly reflect the financial position of the Wänanga and group as at 31 December 2005. They must also fairly reflect the results of operations and cash flows and service performance achievements for the year ended on that date. The responsibilities of the Council arise from the Public Finance Act 1989.


We are responsible for expressing an independent opinion on the financial statements and reporting that opinion to you. This responsibility arises from section 15 of the Public Audit Act 2001 and the Public Finance Act 1989.

Independence When carrying out the audit we followed the independence requirements of the Auditor-General, which incorporate the independence requirements of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of New Zealand. In addition to the audit, Audit New Zealand has carried out two assignments since 31 December 2005, providing independent quality assurance over a tender process and a business case, which are compatible with those independence requirements. Other than the audit and these assignments, we have no relationship with or interests in the W채nanga or its subsidiary.

Statement of Accounting Policies for the year ended 31 December, 2005

General Accounting Policies Reporting Entity Te Wänanga o Aotearoa is a Wänanga constituted by an Order in Council dated 21 June 1993. The financial statements presented are for Te Wänanga o Aotearoa and the consolidated financial statements are for the group comprising Te Wänanga o Aotearoa and its wholly owned subsidiary MO1 Limited. These financial statements are prepared in accordance with Section 203 of the Education Act 1989 and are presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice as defined in the Public Finance Act 1989.

Going Concern The Going Concern principle has been adopted in the preparation of these financial statements. This approach has been adopted after considering the following factors: • The Crown has provided the cash funding required to support the continuing operation of the Wänanga since the identification of its financial problems. The Council believes that the Government will continue to support Te Wänanga o Aotearoa because the Minister for Tertiary Education has publicly made statements regarding the Crown’s support for the continued delivery of services to Te Wänanga o Aotearoa students and has recognised the role the organisation plays within New Zealand’s educational infrastructure. • Te Wänanga o Aotearoa and Group has budgeted the number of Equivalent Full Time Students (EFTS) for the year ended 31 December 2007 and 31 December 2008. The numbers budgeted reflect those considered by Cabinet when they approved the institutions Profile. Similar to all other institutions operating in the sector the actual number of EFTS that will be

36 - Financial Review

enrolled for the years ended 31 December 2007 and 31 December 2008 is uncertain at this stage. On the basis of progress to date the Council believes these budgeted EFTS are achievable. • The Crown provided Te Wänanga o Aotearoa with a $20 million funding facility in early 2005 to enable Te Wänanga o Aotearoa to meets its financial obligations. This facility, controlled by the Crown Manager, has been utilised on four occasions in the period to the date of signing these Financial Statements. As at 31 December 2005, $6 million was drawn down on this facility. The facility has been used as a short term overdraft facility to fund working capital shortfalls. The facility has been rolled over periodically in both of the 2005 and 2006 financial years. The current facility has been reduced to $10 million and expires on 30 November 2007. The Council is confident that continued financial support, if needed, will be forthcoming. • Cabinet has agreed by the way of minute that a suspensory loan of up to $20 million will be made available from 30 November 2007 to settle the amount outstanding from the Waitangi Tribunal Claim Wai 718. The loan, while still being subject to the finalisation of a negotiated agreement between the Tertiary Education Commission and Te Wänanga o Aotearoa, will be paid out in three instalments over three years of $10 million before the end of 2007, $5 million in 2008 and $5 million in 2009. • Te Wänanga o Aotearoa has undertaken a substantial restructure in 2006 without any ongoing financial assistance being required from the Crown. • The financial support provided to other public tertiary educational institutes which have experienced problems similar to those facing Te Wänanga o Aotearoa. • The recognition that Te Wänanga o Aotearoa has continued to operate and has met all its financial obligations as and when they have fallen due. • Cash forecasts for the 2007 and 2008 financial year indicate that the institution will have sufficient cash to meet its financial obligations.


Accordingly the Council has prepared these financial statements based on the going concern assumption. The going concern assumption depends on the: • institution, similar to all other institutions operating in the sector, achieving its forecast levels of student enrolments in 2007 and 2008; and

Specific Accounting Policies The following specific accounting policies which materially affect the measurement of financial performance and the financial position have been applied: A.

• successful conclusion of negotiations with the Crown as to terms for the $20 million suspensory loan.

Revenue from the Tertiary Education Commission is recognised on an EFTS consumption basis as the course is provided and student fees are recognised when the course is provided. Other revenue is recognised when the activity which gives rise to the revenue is conducted. Government grants are recognised when eligibility has been established by the grantor.

Whilst the Council is confident in the ability of Te Wänanga o Aotearoa to continue as a going concern, if the forecast level of enrolments is not achieved or the negotiations of the terms of the suspensory loan are not successfully concluded there would be significant uncertainty as to whether Te Wänanga o Aotearoa would be able to continue as a going concern. If Te Wänanga o Aotearoa was unable to continue as a going concern adjustments may have to be made to reflect the situation that assets may have to be realised and liabilities extinguished other than in the normal course of business and at amounts which could differ significantly from the amounts at which they are currently reported in the Statement of Financial Position. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and the recognition and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should Te Wänanga o Aotearoa be unable to continue as a going concern.

Measurement Base Unless otherwise stated the general accounting principles recognised as appropriate for the measurement and reporting of the financial position under the historical cost method have been used. The reporting currency is New Zealand dollars. Accrual accounting is used to measure the cost of services provided and to recognise revenues.

Revenue

Rental Income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Performance on an accruals basis. Interest Income is accrued using the effective interest rate applicable. B.

Accounts Receivable Accounts Receivable are stated at expected realisable value after providing for debts where collection is doubtful.

C.

Inventory All inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

D.

Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost in the Statement of Financial Position. Subsequent Expenditure Subsequent expenditure relating to an item of property, plant and equipment is capitalised to the initial cost of the item when the expenditure increases the economic benefits over the life of the item or where that expenditure was necessarily incurred to enable the future economic benefits to be obtained and the expenditure would have been included in the initial cost of the item had the expenditure been incurred at the time of acquisition. All other subsequent expenditure is expensed in the period in which it is incurred.

Financial Review - 37


Impairment

G.

All items of property, plant and equipment are assessed for impairment at each reporting date. Where the carrying amount is assessed to be greater than its recoverable amount, the item is written down. The write down is recognised in the Statement of Financial Performance.

The financial statements are prepared exclusive of GST except Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable which are disclosed inclusively. Goods and Services Tax is accounted for on an invoice basis and the balance owing at balance date is disclosed in the Statement of Financial Position. H.

Disposal

Depreciation Property, Plant and Equipment, with the exception of Land and Artwork (which are not depreciated) and Library Collection (which is depreciated at 12.5% diminishing value), are depreciated on a straight line basis at rates that will write off the cost over the estimated useful life of the asset.

All other development costs and all research costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.

38 - Financial Review

Consolidation of Subsidiary The group financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the parent of Te W채nanga o Aotearoa and its wholly owned subsidiary, which has been consolidated using the purchase method. The results of any subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are consolidated from the effective dates of acquisition or until the effective dates of disposal.

On disposal or permanent withdrawal of an item of property, plant and equipment the difference between the disposal proceeds (if any) and the carrying amount is recognised in the Statement of Financial Performance. E.

Goods and Services Tax

All inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised profits are eliminated on consolidation. I.

Goodwill Goodwill, representing the excess of the cost of shares in a subsidiary or associate over the fair value of the net assets acquired at the date of acquisition, is shown as an intangible asset. Goodwill is amortised in the Statement of Financial Position on a straight line basis over the period of the expected benefit. To the extent that the unamortised balance of goodwill is no longer probable of being recovered from the expected future economic benefits, it is recognised immediately as an expense.

J.

Operating Leases Operating lease rentals are recognised evenly over the expected period of benefit to Te W채nanga o Aotearoa.

K.

Finance Leases Leases under which Te W채nanga o Aotearoa assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases and are capitalised. The finance charge is allocated to periods during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the outstanding balance of the liability for each period.


L.

Financial Instruments

P.

Financial Instruments carried on the Statement of Financial Position include cash and bank balances, investments, receivables, trade creditors and borrowings. The particular recognition methods adapted are disclosed in the individual policy statements associated with each item.

Trademarks Purchased identifiable intangible assets, comprising patents and trademarks, are recognised at cost and amortised on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives. Where the carrying amount of an identified intangible asset exceeds its recoverable amount, it is written down to its recoverable amount.

N.

Operating activities include all transactions and other events that are not investing or financing activities. Investing activities are those activities relating to the acquisition and disposal of current and non-current investments and other non-current assets.

Where the effect is material, the expected expenditures are discounted to their present value using pre-tax discount rates. Restructuring Restructuring is a programme planned and controlled by management that materially changes the scope of a business undertaken by the group or the manner in which the business is conducted by the group. The group recognises a provision for restructuring when the Council has approved a detailed formal plan, and the restructuring has commenced or a public announcement regarding the restructuring has been made. Costs and expenditures related to ongoing operations are not included in the provision for restructuring.

Statement of Cash Flows

Q.

17 Financial Instruments Financial instruments which may subject Te W채nanga o Aotearoa to interest rate risk relate to overdrawn bank balances. To limit the amount of interest rate risk exposure, Te W채nanga o Aotearoa has provided to their bankers the right of offset between credit funds held by the bank against any overdrawn balances. Te W채nanga o Aotearoa has a US$ Account with a current balance of US$231,902 (2004 - $226,449). The exchange rate as at 31 December 2005 0.6915 (2004 - 0.7085) was applied. The Crown provided the institution with a $20 million funding facility in early 2005 to enable the institution to meets its financial obligations. This facility is controlled by the Crown Manager. The facility has been used as a short term overdraft facility to fund working capital shortfalls. The facility has been rolled over periodically in both of the 2005 and 2006 financial years. The current facility has been reduced to $10 million and expires on 30 November 2007. In May 2005 the organisation drew down $12 million of the facility. In July 2005 $6 million of this facility was repaid to the Crown. The interest rate is fixed at 8%. The interest is payable monthly. Credit risk refers to the risk that a counter party will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the group. Cash accounts are held with high credit quality financial institutions. Student fee debtors and general debtors consist of a large number of customers and the group does not have any significant concentration of credit risk with regards to these balances. As disclosed in note 20 there are related party receivable balances from OMA Investments Limited of $2.268 million (2004 - $3.224) and Aotearoa Institute of $3.115 million (2004 - $3.115 million).
