CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE
Last year I spoke of revised strategies and incremental change moving Watoto Child Care Ministries forward in Australia. This year we have seen some of the benefits of these continuing strategic improvements. We have seen substantial Australian involvement on the ground in Uganda in the farming and sustainability areas as well as growth in the level of our sponsorships which are vital to the ongoing support of the vulnerable women and children. More and more people are investing their time, effort and resources in what they see as a committed and successful answer to the issues affecting the most needy and downtrodden in Africa. It was my privilege to visit Uganda again at the end of 2012 leading a wonderful team of 29 Gold Coasters aged from 16 to 70 to build two homes in Watoto’s Laminadera Village outside Gulu, Northern Uganda. Whilst six of us had been on build teams before it was our first time in Gulu and it was amazing to see the growth of the village and school in the relatively short time Watoto has been in Gulu. Watoto Babies Home and Watoto Church, which are in the heart of Gulu town, are like oases of peace and light in an area that for so long suffered war and darkness under Joseph Kony and the LRA. The team enjoyed a truly life changing experience and saw first hand the equally life changing work being done by Watoto. They are now even more committed to invest further by supporting children or babies and in some cases to return and work at Watoto. This story is not unique. It has been repeated over and over with teams from all over the world. Of course, not everyone can visit Uganda but you can take confidence from those who have, that your support of the ministry is well spent and at its core is an investment in a life that might otherwise be lost. There is always something new happening in Watoto, so again this year I encourage you to visit the web site www.watoto.com regularly to keep up to date and on behalf of the Board I extend our thanks and gratitude to our staff, sponsors, donors and all who support the work of Watoto. For The Children,
Peter Harris Board Chair 4

CEO’S MESSAGE
Hi there, The year has rolled around again and it brings me great pleasure in bringing our Annual Report for the 2012/13 financial year to you. As I look back on the last 12 months I am reminded of how Watoto is continually making a difference by supporting the most vulnerable in Africa. I see the work we do as an investment into the lives of those that we connect with everyday in the desperate situations that they are in. I often compare it with that of any financial decision in life. We always look for the investments that have a history of a high return. We never invest into shares or markets that are showing vulnerability or a loss . It’s the same with the charity or not-for-profit sector. We look for those organisations that have had successes and positive outcomes in their past. But the outcomes are more important than finances; they are lives, real people. Women & children that haven’t chosen their situation but need opportunities to rise above them. Over this year Watoto has seen amazing growth of over 16% in our sponsorship, great investment opportunities in our sustainability & development projects & have touched the lives of those in need more than ever before - something worth investing in! We have seen some amazing opportunities and relationships formed here in Australia this year with individuals, families & organisations who have partnered with us to help continue our ministry. I want to thank each of you for the contribution you have made. We strive to be transparent, accountable & good stewards of the resources you have entrusted us with. So grab a cup of tea, sit down and enjoy reading what we have been up to in the following pages. Blessings,
Luke Willey CEO Australia & New Zealand

THE WATOTO STORY
I
n 1988, in a town called Rakai, I was confronted by a naked reality that I could not ignore.
Eight years earlier, my family and I had moved to Uganda – a country famous for violence and poverty. In Kampala, Uganda’s battered capital, we planted a church that we believed God would use to restore hope to the city and the nation. Uganda’s people had endured so much. Corrupt and oppressive rulers had waged ruthless wars against the people, and when they were done with their slaughter, nearly one million were left dead. I was taken to visit a 79-year-old widow. She had mothered seven children. As we walked through banana groves behind her small hut, she began to point out the graves of her husband and six of her children. AIDS had killed all. Her last surviving child – a daughter – was dying of the same disease. I was reminded of the verse in James 1:27 that says, “Religion that GOD the Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after the orphan and the widow in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” My visit with this woman in a simple Ugandan village stirred me to the core of my being and became one of the defining moments of my life. In the last year, Watoto Child Care Ministries Australia has played an instrumental part in the growth of Watoto in Uganda. Our J210 & J329 village projects are continuing to have significant intakes of the most vulnerable children & our J416 Living Hope project is impacting the lives of many HIV+ women. Thank you for your support. Gary Skinner Founder of Watoto

SPONSORSHIP UPDATE
A
s of 30 June 2013, total sponsorships for Watoto Australia stood at 4885, which represents 16.6% growth over the last 12 months. This year, we targeted growing the support base for child and mother sponsorships, as well as Baby Watoto, which represented our greatest needs. Through a number of initiatives, including the tours by Choir 56 from July to September 2012, and Choir 61 in May and June 2013, as well as support from build teams and returning volunteers and Visit Watoto teams/individuals, we were able to grow each of these areas. Child sponsorships grew 26.7%, mother sponsorships grew 22.1% and Baby Watoto sponsorships grew 22.6%. We sincerely thank our generous donors across Australia, New Zealand and surrounds who have played an integral part in helping us rescue more children, raise each one to lead in their chosen sphere of life so that they will in turn, rebuild their nation.

institutional orphanage. They become part of a family unit for life in the Watoto community. A sponsored individual has multiple sponsors in order to provide the holistic care that is required to equip them for success in life. The sponsorship of a Watoto child, house mother, teacher, Baby Watoto or Living Hope helps to meet the recurring costs.
Baby Watoto Sponsorship
Baby Watoto is a home for abandoned and vulnerable babies. Tiny preemies to toddlers, found on rubbish heaps, in trash cans or abandoned in hospitals and police stations, are brought to their new home where they find acceptance and unconditional love. When these babies are old enough to enter a Watoto children’s village, they continue their journey to become Africa’s next generation of leaders. There are currently two babies’ homes in Kampala and one in Gulu.
Mother’s Sponsorship
Watoto children’s villages are a haven of security, peace, education, purpose and spiritual vitality. Children between the ages of 2 and 12 are accepted into the villages, where they are cared for by a house mother, and live with 7 other siblings. They attend school and receive a quality education. A community centre for school assemblies, community functions and church services is also a part of the village. A clinic is established to provide adequate health care. These funds are to sponsor the House Mothers.
Teacher’s Sponsorship

These funds are to assist with the costs of school teacher’s in the villages by way of sponsorship.

WATOTO CHILDREN’S CHOIR
WATOTO CHILD CARE MINISTRIES AUSTRALIA ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13
CHOIR 56 FINALÈ
T
he last 3 months of Choir 56 was a complete whirlwind! The team travelled through New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia in the last 3 months before returning to Queensland to finish the 2012 tour. We were completely blessed by many who decided to invest in the lives of the children and women in Watoto by partnering with us through sponsorship. Choir 56 were amazing advocates for their brothers and sisters back home as they shared their personal journey from such desperate situations to one of hope - displaying the power of sponsorship and having someone believe in you. They also had the amazing chance of sharing the love and grace of our loving God to many across Australia. The message resounded to many individuals who had the chance to see this inspiring performance. Seeing lives transformed through the power of the Gospel is always a highlight for Watoto Child Care Ministries. The Watoto Children’s Choir is such a unique tool to share the love and hope of Jesus to the world and we are
21
always so blown away by how God uses these children as his missionaries to our country. Choir 56 wrapped up their 6 month tour in early October. After 6 months on the road the team were ready to touch the red Ugandan soil and fill their stomachs with delicious Ugandan food that they had missed whilst on the road. The team were welcomed home with open arms and celebrated their many successes at a lovely welcome home party. Choir 56’s team leader Robert Sendegeya was married a couple of months after returning home which was a huge celebration. The children have returned back to their Watoto homes and have begun life again in the villages. These children will forever hold dear the adventures they had during the once in a lifetime 6month tour of Australia and the many wonderful people they met along the way. Thank you to all who made this tour such a wonderful time for the beautiful adults and children of Choir 56.
WATOTO CHILD CARE MINISTRIES AUSTRALIA ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13
CHOIR 61
A
different spark ignited the start of our 2013 tour with Mark Aikiriza coming on board to lead this wonderful team. There was much anticipation from both adults and children when they arrived on our shores with everyone excited to see what God has in store for this 7 month tour. Our 2013 tour is slightly different to the usual tour with the team spending 4 months touring Australia and 3 months in Asia. With the tour much shorter than normal, we have had a lot of kilometres to drive in in this short amount of time. Once again, we have managed to fill the tour with 50% of new venues which is helping us to increase our outreach to many more communities in Australia. The team have visited South East Queensland and New South Wales so far with Tasmania, Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia still on the cards. Although this visit is short, the message is still coming across loud and clear to everyone who has the chance to hear…….. Jesus transforms lives! It is always such an honour for our Watoto Children to share about our loving God who rescued them from despair. At the beginning of tour, Innocent, one of the Choir 61 children,
22
stated the thing she was most looking forward to on tour is telling anyone and everyone about Jesus and how he’s changed her life. These children are missionaries in Australia and they know God has brought them here for a purpose. They take every opportunity they are given to share his love, grace and hope and God uses their willing hearts in such a mighty way! The team have so far had the chance to share their stories at family fun days and Hillsong Church (both Brisbane & Sydney campuses) along with visiting some iconic Australian tourist spots including our pristine beaches, the Blue Mountains and the Questacon in Canberra. We will be visiting Planetshakers Church, Hillsong Church (Melbourne East Campus), Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne and many other communities in the following months. Choir 61 have a busy couple of months ahead! We are excited to see what God continues to do through this team and to hear the stories of lives transformed by the powerful love of Jesus. This is the message of Watoto and it is amazing just to be a small part of God’s work through this ministry.
WATOTO CHILD CARE MINISTRIES AUSTRALIA ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13
CHOIR STRATEGY
C
ontinuing to raise awareness in Australia through the choir is reliant on successful tours each year. In 2014 the Watoto Children’s Choir will be with us for 5 months throughout Australia & New Zealand, including performances in Central Australia from Adelaide to Darwin. Goals we endeavor to achieve with each tour are as follows. •T o continue to communicate & raise awareness among Australian communities that are yet to hear of the work of Watoto. •T o increase the number of people that attend the Watoto concerts by 20% each year. • To reduce the cost of tour by planning routes strategically. •T o better understand the needs of churches as they reach their local communities. •T o increase our community awareness by promoting and having a publicity plan for the Australian tour. •E ndeavour to have 3 separate tours planned to have the opportunity to promote concerts proactively for future years. • Be in key cities for specific events (eg. Hillsong, Easterfest) • To have 10 major media coverage events in 2014 • To increase media coverage each year. These goals will continually improve the professionalism & accountability of Watoto Australia and of the choirs that tour here.
THANK YOU BUS DRIVERS Each year the Watoto Children’s choir is able to travel around the country because of the selfless giving of time, energy and skills from our bus & truck drivers. Over the last 12 months our bus drivers, Uncle Bill, Don, Derek, Graham & Auntie Joanne, Uncle Bob and Auntie Dawn have done a wonderful job – we love an appreciate you so much. We would also like to thank our good friends at Cross Country tours for continuing to care for our bus and truck, ensuring they are safe for each tour – bless you!

MEDIA UPDATE
T
he year 2012/2013 has, again, seen Watoto gain key exposure in the media and build on relationships formed in the previous year. Together with concert coordinators around Australia, we have been able to see the Watoto Children’s Choir promoted through local media ahead of the performances in most areas. The choir have had many radio interviews where they have been able to sing and share about Watoto - raising awareness nationwide of the choir’s tour and the work of Watoto generally. Early in the year, the choir were interviewed on 4BC radio where everyone in the studio had the opportunity to meet the team and were really impacted by the interview. The choir were also interviewed on 96five’s drive program and have been interviewed on many ABC stations across Australia where we have received positive feedback including one presenter who commented that they just ‘brightened everyone’s day.’ One of the most impacting interviews this year was with Vision FM early on in the choir’s tour. There was not a dry eye in the room as the children sung and one of the young girls shared her story with tears in her eyes. This 15 minute interview was aired nationwide on over 500 relay stations and will also be aired on History Makers which is played on all 500 relay stations as well as almost every Christian radio station across Australia. Vision FM Presenter Matt Prater commented:
“One of the most powerful interviews we’ve done in the past year was with the team from Watoto. To hear the stories of the kids, to see to joy in their eyes, and to hear their harmonies, it’s like a taste of heaven! We’ve had listeners from all over Australia tell us how much they were touched by their performance on-air. Thanks Watoto, please come back and visit! The choir were also interviewed on the ‘Open House’ program which is played on Christian radio in every capital city in Australia as well as across over 500 relay stations in regional Australia. This interview was a fantastic opportunity for our tour leader to share about the generation of leaders that are being raised up through Watoto to steward Africa’s resources with integrity. There have also been many articles publicised about Watoto in local newspapers and our social media presence has doubled in the past year. We are excited to report that the work and vision of Watoto have been clearly communicated across various channels throughout 2012/2013 and are looking forward to even more growth in this area in the coming years.

EVENTS & CAMPAIGNS
PORT MACQUARIE NEWS

012/2013 has also seen awareness and support of Watoto Child Care Ministries increase through a variety of campaigns and events. Already in 2013, there have been 2 campaigns ‘Rescued by Love’ and ‘Raised by Community’ used to communicate some of our core messages to existing and potential supporters. We also ran an incredibly successful Mother’s Day campaign which saw thousands of dollars in donations towards our ‘Mother’s Day Retreat’ (for Watoto Mamas) received as well as new sponsorships. This campaign was also designed with tools so that people could easily share about Watoto with friends and family and increase awareness. This campaign was run in conjunction with our Mother’s Day event which doubled in size from the previous year’s event and saw more donations and sponsorships come in as a result. This year we also held a Corporate Fundraising Gala in Brisbane. The night was an outstanding success and we were able to raise over $22,000 for Watoto’s selfsustainability initiatives as well as strengthen existing partnerships and build new relationships. We also held a Corporate Gala in Sydney for the first time in 2013 where we had an overwhelmingly positive response from everyone who attended. Both of these events were a fantastic opportunity for the choir to perform in a different setting for key people who may not attend a traditional concert and were an outstanding success in terms of raising awareness of Watoto in the corporate sector.

PROJECTS: GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT GROUP
J210 – WATOTO CHILDREN’S VILLAGE The children’s villages continued to grow over the last 12 months both in construction of buildings and with intake of children. Expansion of the volunteer accommodation in Suubi village has meant that more people from all around the world are able to stay onsite, which helps with time management & scheduling of teams & individuals. We have had an intake of over 200 orphaned children in our villages in Kampala who have been rescued or have progressed from Baby Watoto. These children now have a new mother, 7 new brothers & sisters and are being educated and raised to be productive citizens of Uganda.
J329 – WATOTO VILLAGES – GULU With most of our build teams this past year building homes in Gulu we have seen a steady, but managed growth of construction in our Laminadera Village. These homes are all still yet to be finished – mostly pathways & gardens – but will soon see the new intake of orphan children from the Gulu region. The educational facility in Laminadera continues to grow with construction by visiting teams. A Watoto child in our Laminadera Village school was one of the top performing students in the Northern Uganda region at the end of 2012. During his final exams he excelled in all areas of education. Many of our other students achieved above the national average. 26

J416 – LIVING HOPE PROJECT In early 2013 we have seen 540 HIV+ women start our Living Hope project. These most vulnerable women of Uganda who have suffered horrifically due to the war in Northern Uganda or have been infected by AIDS due to lack of education have been given a new lease on life. Providing their medical needs, while giving them a trade and education ensures not only their future, but also the future of their children. Living Hope has many sustainability arms and also provides young girls in the local communities with sanitary products & underwear to lessen the chance of them dropping out of school when they hit puberty, due to not having these resources. Our Keep a Girl in School project is now impacting the lives of over 1200 young girls by helping them continue their education.

BUILD TEAMS FROM AUSTRALIA Australian and New Zealand churches, schools, corporate & community groups continue to support Watoto and in the 2012/2013 Financial year 22 teams consisting of 285 people travelled to Uganda and built many vital and much needed projects. These projects included houses, classrooms, apartments, student dormitories, teacher’s accommodation, general maintenance requirements, and sustainability projects. Last year we reported one team commenced a Rain Harvesting Project. That team has since returned to Uganda to complete the project and provide ‘on the job training’ to Watoto staff so that they can continue this program in other areas of Watoto Villages and eventually turn it into a ‘self-sustainability’ program. We are excited to advise that Watoto has now secured the contract to build two Water Tanks at the UN Hospital at Entebbe. The Watoto Construction Team is currently building 13 Houses at Laminadera Village (Gulu) which have been funded through Hillsong Church & Colour Sisterhood.

One of our great Australian teams has given us the following feedback from their time with Watoto in Uganda;
ST FAITHS ANGLICAN CHURCH AND FRIENDS WATOTO BUILD IN APRIL 2013 We were a team of 17 people who in April this year travelled from Sydney’s northern beaches to Uganda to help build a classroom in Laminadera Watoto Village in Gulu. What an amazing experience we had and we felt truly blessed by the generosity of so many people who supported our fund raising efforts. Not only did we have sufficient money for the build but we were also able to sponsor some children and buy many other things for the beautiful children in Uganda. The classroom we built was in a block of 3 in the senior school. The local Ugandan men that we assisted in building the classroom were so humble and had such patience with our unskilled efforts – but it was a real team effort of brothers and sisters in Christ. With part of the extra money we raised we bought 300 kg of both rice and sugar and handed it out as gifts to the surrounding village people near Laminadera. Pastor Victor, the resident pastor, organised for the local people to come to the new church to receive their gifts. We also visited our 3 sponsored children; Kevin and Alfred who live in Laminadera, and Lawrence who lives in Suubi. It was truly wonderful to meet them and their godly adopted families. We spent time in Baby Watoto in both Kampala and Gulu to love and care for these vulnerable babies – and it was hard to leave. When we visited Living Hope in both Gulu and Kampala we treated some of the ladies to a manicure and arm massage. It was an honour serving these beautiful ladies. Going to Church and worshiping with our brothers and sisters in Christ was wonderful too. We were looked after so well by everyone, from our hosts, Rogers and Steven, our bus drivers, Antonio and Michael and all the wonderful people from the guest houses in Kampala and Gulu. We were truly blessed and amazed by their generosity. Our time in Uganda was just awesome. Thank you Watoto for the wonderful work you are doing in Uganda for the children and women. Our prayer is that these beautiful children will be the next generation of leaders in Uganda that will help change the future of the country for the better. We will be returning in 2015. God Bless. Kathy (NSW) on behalf of the St Faith’s and friends Build Team of 2013

INDIVIDUAL VOLUNTEERS Again, this year we have seen an increase in the numbers of individual volunteers from Australia & New Zealand in this financial year. 31 wonderful individuals travelled to Uganda and volunteered for a minimum of one month with Watoto, working and serving alongside the Watoto Team, in areas such as Baby Watoto / Living Hope / Watoto Church / Children’s Villages / Medical Clinics / office and administrative areas.
MEET KATHY I recently had the privilege of going to Uganda with a build team to build a Watoto house, and I then did some voluntary occupational therapy work with the special needs Watoto children for 1 month. Before leaving for Uganda, our team had worked hard for most of the year to raise the necessary funds to build the house, so we were pretty excited to get it built once we arrived. It was hot, heavy, and dirty work, but being part of the building process was great because it was such a practical way of helping. It was a great feeling when we finished building. We knew that 8 children and a mum’s life would be changed by this house. We dedicated the house to the Lord, and said a prayer for those who would live there. Once the team left, I worked with special needs children for the remainder of my time. All of these children’s stories are just so sad. Some were abandoned at hospitals or in the forest, others were locked up in cupboards and abused. Still others were dumped in a latrine pit or in a creek. Most are severely malnourished when they arrive at Watoto. In each child’s story, I was reminded that God loves all 6 billion of us in the world, and cares about the fate of each of us, and has worked in many people’s lives to rescue these kids. It also reminded me of God’s love for all of us, that he would send His son Jesus to die on the cross so we could receive forgiveness and spend eternity with Him. There is a tireless Watoto therapy team who I worked alongside during my voluntary time. They face so many obstacles, but they just seem to bounce back quickly from a set-back, and try another approach. Sarah Matovu is the special needs team coordinator. The special needs team have achieved so much, including transitioning some children from the Babies Home to the Watoto village homes with a mum. Another significant achievement has been setting up a future for special needs children once they become adults and helping them to be a meaningful part of the community. Sometimes this involves paid employment, for example, working on the Watoto farms.

I had so much fun working with the Ugandan therapists. The special needs team are keen to establish regular voluntary Christian therapist’s visits. Those with experience in paediatrics and the disability sector would be most suitable. Occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and especially speech language pathologists and special education teachers are needed, also clinical psychologists. I personally found that one month of voluntary time goes very quickly, and I would consider extending my time on my next visit. The Watoto therapists are also interested in work placements in Australia and other first world countries, in order to further their skills in the paediatric disability area. I also hope to continue fundraising in Australia for equipment needed for the special needs children to improve their quality of life and independence. If anyone is interested in these opportunities, please contact the Watoto Australia Office. What have I learnt from my experiences in Uganda, and what has God taught me? In essence: Bad stuff happens in this world. But God cares. God has a plan and it is being carried out right now. There will always be an ongoing need to respond – to “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves”. And lastly, I am in a blessed position to be able to do many things for God. Kath (QLD)

MEET MIA My name is Mia and I am 18 years old and live in Sydney. For 2 months of 2012 whilst I was on my gap year I had the incredible privilege of living in Uganda, volunteering with Baby Watoto. The high school I attended sends a team of students to Uganda each year to volunteer with Watoto. A couple of people I knew had also spent time as volunteers with Baby Watoto and absolutely loved it. There was never a specific moment that I felt the Lord telling me to go to Uganda, but instead a longing grew over a few years to volunteer at Watoto. I went through the motions of applying and decided to leave my acceptance into Watoto in God’s faithful hands; if He wanted me to go, I would. I was accepted and was overjoyed! I spent the majority of my time in Uganda at Suubi Babies Home. As volunteers at Baby Watoto our main aim is to work alongside the Ugandan nannies and help them out in any way possible. Mainly this includes helping them in looking after the babies they so lovingly care for, but also in washing up the babies bottles and bowls (trust me, there’s a lot of them) and washing, folding and sorting the babies clothes so the nannies have more time to bond and communicate with the gorgeous Watoto bubs! As challenging as it was at times I loved every single moment of my stay with Baby Watoto. I feel so blessed to have been able to play a part (however so tiny) in these babies’ lives and thank the Lord every day that I was able to go to Uganda. The precious Baby Watoto babies are forever on my heart. I would love to go back to Uganda as soon as I can, I just have to wait upon the Lord and see if that’s His plan too! Mia (SYD)

WATOTO 360˚ One student from Australia completed the Watoto 360* programme in the current financial year. Watoto 360 is a Christian discipleship course, not to be confused with a Bible college program. It runs for approximately 5 and a half months, from early January to mid- June each year. In-class instruction is combined with hands-on experience, giving students a balanced understanding of ministry. Our desire is for students to learn and grow as individuals, to acquire knowledge and to gain wisdom that comes from applying that knowledge, so that when ministry opportunities are presented, the experiences they have had will enable them to serve with excellence. Discipleship courses begin with basic fundamentals of Christianity moving towards a deeper understanding of discipleship toward the end of the program. He has provided the following comments;
“Leaving was particularly hard- leaving all my new friends. Harder than I ever thought it would be. It has been a great experience that is for sure. I was interviewed by the local ABC Radio a few days after arriving home and was also asked to write devotions for one of our local school newsletters and have been invited to speak in our local church to provide a testimony of my experiences of my discipleship course”. Jack (QLD)
*Please note that no project funds go towards non-developmental projects. This is to comply with Australian law.

GLOBAL BUILD TEAMS There were 8 people from Australia who joined up with a Global Team to serve in Watoto Uganda in the financial year 2012 / 2013. These teams consist of up to 32 people from all over the world who meet in Uganda for a common cause. They focus on 4 main areas of need being Building / Medical / Babies Homes / August School Camps. This is a great way for people from all over Australia & New Zealand, who do not have the opportunity to go to Watoto Uganda with their local church or community group team, and experience Watoto first hand and provide much needed support and assistance to the Ministries of Watoto.

T H E W A T O T O A U S T R A LI A G R O U P SCOPE REPORT
on the Financial Report
We have audited the attached financial report of The Watoto Australia Group, being a Special Purpose Financial Report which comprises the Balance Sheet, Income Statement, Statement of Cash Flows and Notes to the Financial Statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2013 as set out on the accompanying pages. DIRECTORS AND TRUSTEES’
Responsibility for the Financial Report
The group’s directors and trustees are responsible for the financial report and have determined that the accounting policies used and described in Note 1 to the financial report and the accounting disclosures contained therein are appropriate to meet the needs of the members. The directors and trustees’ responsibility also includes establishing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. AUDITOR’S
Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. No opinion is expressed as to whether the accounting policies used, as described in Note 1, are appropriate to meet the needs of the members. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report. The financial report has been prepared for distribution to members of the entity for the purpose of fulfilling the directors and trustees’ financial reporting. We disclaim any assumption of responsibility for any reliance on this report or on the financial report to which it relates to any person other than the members or for any purpose other than that for which it was prepared.

REPORT
Limitation to Scope As is common for organisations of this type, it is not practicable to cost effectively audit the system of internal control over cash receipts of donations, subscriptions or other fund raising activities. Accordingly, our audit tests over receipts were limited to amounts already recorded in the books and records of the entity. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Independence In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements. AUDITOR’S OPINION In our opinion, the financial report of The Watoto Australia Group for the year ended 30 June 2013 is in accordance with the constitution, including i.
