1 Executive Chairman’s Report 2015 by our Sports Development Officers during their Sports Outreach events.

The athletes belong to the following sports – soccer, rugby league, netball, volleyball, boxing, and athletics.

We are encouraged by this and we hope that more young athletes are recognised for their sporting talents, as we continue to take our programmes out to the communities.
We continue to aim high as we partner with key stakeholders, including Government and NSOs, to drive the level of sports in the country.

2015 Challenges and Directions I would like to reiterate the importance of good governance among our National Sports Organisations.

In order to progress the sport at all levels, including the sporting welfare of our athletes, it is crucial that NSOs are transparent and practice good governance.

That is an ongoing concern for us.


We’re very keen for NSOs to create their own sports development plans of at least four years to create pathways for youth and sports to grow.

There is a realisation now that sport is a career path.

That said, we would like to see and develop elite athletes into their sport of choice.

I am pleased to present the Fiji National Sports Commission Annual Report for the year 2015.

I would like to acknowledge the support of my Board and staff throughout the year.
Acknowledgements are extended also to the Minister for Youth and Sports, my line Ministry as well as the Ministry of Finance, for funding assistance.

Appreciation is also extended to the Government of Fiji for its ongoing commitment towards the development of sports in the country.

On another note, professional Fijian athletes that are plying their talent overseas contribute about one third of the remittances to Fiji.
Our commitment to enhance sports development in Fiji, with the support of public and private sector stakeholders, continues as we are driven by the Commission’s Key Strategic Goals of 2013 – 2018.

Sports Development In the spirit of enhancing sports development in Fiji, the Minister for Sports and I, visited the Australian Sports Commission in Canberra in Australia.

We took the opportunity to review their operations with regard to the development of all sports.
We also reviewed the funding model for the Australian National Sports Organisations (NSO).

The visit included meetings with the Australian Sports Anti- Doping Authority, the Australian Minister for Sports, Canberra Sports Academy, and the Chief Executives of Australian Rugby, NRL, and netball associations.
Among the Sports Commission’s functions is to identify individuals in our communities, especially rural communities, who possess natural sporting abilities, and to encourage their development in their chosen sport.

We are extending our Wellness programmes to have a wider reach in both the urban and rural areas.

Non-Communicable Diseases or NCDs is the biggest health concern in the country, and the easiest way to combat NCDs is through physical activity.
On this note, we are partnering with the Ministry of Health to promote healthy and active lifestyles for all.

By doing so, we are ensuring a productive society with healthy individuals.

In the New Year, the Sports Commission in partnership with its stakeholders is committed to enhancing, at all levels, sporting excellence among individuals and teams.
We will also continue to focus our attention on rural communities, as we believe that sports development at the grassroots level and from a young age, is key to building the foundation of a dynamic sporting nation.

The active participation of our Sports Development Officers in the field has enabled the identification of talented athletes, who otherwise may not have had the opportunity to develop their innate sporting talents.

There are currently seven development officers that look after the following divisions – West (Namatakula to Rakiraki), Central (Namosi, Naitasiri, Tailevu, Serua, Rewa); Eastern (Lau, Lomaiviti, Rotuma, Kadavu), and North (Vanua Levu, Taveuni, Rabi).
FNSC has established offices in Suva, Lautoka, and Labasa.

A highlight for 2015 involved the separation of the Central and Eastern divisions.

Initially one region, the idea is to improve the focus aimed at each region.

Each of our Sports Development Programmes outlined here are designed for specific groups of individuals as well as for members of the public.

Member’s and Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements The members and management of the Commission are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards for Small and Medium-sized Entities and the requirements of Fiji National Sports Commissions Decree 2013.
This responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining internal controls relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making estimates that are reasonable in the circumstance.

Auditor’s Responsibility My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on mu audit.
I have conducted the audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing.

Those standards require that I comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Commission’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements 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 Commission’s internal control.
An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my audit opinion.
Audit Opinion In my opinion: (a) proper books of account have been kept by the Fiji National Sports Commission, so far as it appears from my examination of those book; and 17 FIJI NATIONAL SPORTS COMMISSIONANNuAL RePORT 2015 Independent Auditors’ Report (Cont’d) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2015 (b) the accompanying financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards for Small and Medium-sized Entities: (i) are in agreement with the books of account; (ii) to the best of my information and according to the explanations given me: • give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Fiji National Sports Commission as at 31 December 2015 and of its financial performance, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date; and • give the information required by Fiji National Sports Commission Decree 2013 in the manner so required.
