Athletes’ success is built on the three or four years of preparation prior to these events, and is made possible by ongoing funding support that enables us to prepare for the build up to major regional and international competitions.

A new Division I am pleased to announce that there is now a new Central- Urban Division for the Sports Commission.

This arose out of our realisation that many of the people we have worked with in rural outreach programs have now relocated in Suva city.
The Commission recognised its responsibility towards these people, particularly the youth, who contribute considerably to the growing numbers moving from rural to urban areas.

In order to respond appropriately and effectively, it was decided to set up a Suva-based division.

In order to facilitate this and ensure that the Commission was addressing the right areas, we signed an MOU with the Fiji Police Force.
As a result, the Commission has successfully conducted a number of training programs for the Central-Urban Division youth, not only in sporting activities, but as administrators, umpires, referees, and coaches., and these programs are continuing to expand.

positive outcomes One of the major advantages arising from this initiative is that those who train to be administrators are taking ownership of their areas.

As a result, we have set up a number of Associations in the corresponding areas of Suva.
Those who have completed training as Technical Officials can now be paid for performing that function at major sporting engagements in the city.

Overall, the creation of the Central–Urban Division is having a marked effect on improving the wellness within our urban area, and I am pleased to report that the Police Force informed us that they are seeing a drop in criminal activities amongst our youth.
I am pleased to present the Fiji National Sports Commission (FNSC) Annual Report for the August 2017 to July 2018 financial year.

I wish to acknowledge the continued support of my Board of Directors, who provide an invaluable combination of sporting knowledge and business acumen.
I also wish to thank the Minister of Youth and Sports, our Line Ministry and the Minister of Economy for our funding assistance, which demonstrates Government’s on-going commitment to sports development at all levels, throughout the nation.

This commitment makes it possible for the Commission to bring sports development and physical activity to all levels and age groups in communities throughout the whole of Fiji.
In this regard, I wish to take this opportunity to say a very special thank-you to all the FNSC staff.

Your dedication and hard work make our Vision and Mission statements a reality, enhancing the overall health and wellbeing of the nation.

Continuing medal success Following Fiji’s success at the 31st Olympics in Rio de Janeiro in August 2017, we continued with considerable success to the Pacific Mini Games, held in Vanuatu, where we achieved 23 gold medals.
We are very pleased with these results that followed with Fiji’s participation in the Commonwealth Games, where we won a gold in weightlifting and we saw the return of Fiji into the boxing arena with the bronze medal win by Winston Hill.

We are particularly pleased that our support has contributed to the reinvigoration of the sport of boxing.
national sports Conference For the 2017-2018 National Sports Conference, the Commission continued to investigate pathways to strengthen our National Sporting Organizations (NSOs).

As well as reviewing NSOs and their administrating bodies, we invited the participation of local and international lawyers, who made presentations on ‘The Game of Law, or the Law of the Game’.
We continued our review of the National Sports Policy and examined sports development plans, as well as the relevance of NSOs’ sustainability and access to funding.

1 Fiji NatioNal SportS CommiSSioNauguSt 2017 - july 2018 aNNual report Coaches’ forum In association with the National Conference, the Commission also partnered with Oceania National Olympic Committees (ONOC ) and Fiji Association of Sports and National Olympic Committee (FASANOC) in holding a three- day Coaches’ Forum.
This was for all coaches, from the national level to the grass-roots level, where the Commission has been facilitating training sessions.

We brought the community-based coaches into Suva so that they too could participate at the national level.

Reactive approach In the five years since its inception, the Commission has continuously worked closely with the communities, constantly asking each community what its needs are, what are their intentions, and responding to these needs.
It is a more inclusive pathway, that involves all age groups and all levels of ability, and it is getting people physically active.

who are making the commitment to programs, taking ownership and creating sustainability for sports and physical activities.
Out of this, we are seeing the establishment and growth of sporting associations and clubs, and the participants taking on board how to maintain and fund their associations and how to be a part of the bigger picture by joining in with the National Sporting Organisations for competitions.

The Sports Commission is very much an organisation that listens.

We listen, whether it is to the Parliamentary Standing Committee, to the Public Accounts Committee, or to the wider community that makes up our client base.
We take on board whatever arises out of their questions and we actively seek to make positive changes and expand the scope of our reporting.
It is a reactive approach that has been key to our seeing achievements, as it is the people within the communities Peter Mazey Executive Chairman 2 Fiji NatioNal SportS CommiSSioNauguSt 2017 - july 2018 aNNual report 2017-2018 Operating Expenses Operating Revenue Other Operating Revenue 1% 9% 13% 27% 77% 73% Sports Grant $7,438,745 International Coaches Grant $1,263,590 Operating Grant UNOSDP Grant $900,000 $85,183 Grant Expenses 1% 1% 3% 0% 14% Sponsorships $26,999 Amortization of Deferred Income $74,394 Operating Expenses 2% 19% 58% 42% 56% 3% 1% Overseas Tours Scholarships Short Term Expert Hosting Tournaments Outreach Programs UNOSDP Expenses Admin Grant Expenses Person with Disability Grant Expense International Coaches $5,092,595 $99,209 $233,032 $1,656,427 $277,618 $85,183 $5,000 $83,656 $1,260,409 Administration Personnel General Operating $20,851 $543,090 $398,770 3 Fiji NatioNal SportS CommiSSioNauguSt 2017 - july 2018 aNNual report Corporate Objectives Established by the Fiji National Sports Commission Decree 2013, the Sports Commission aims to enrich the lives and health of all Fijians through physical activity and sports at all levels as outlined in the Commission’s Vision.

For and behalf of the Commission and in accordance with the resolution of the members of the Commission Dated at Suva this day of 2019 _______________________ Executive Chairman _______________________ Member of the Commission 19 Fiji NatioNal SportS CommiSSioNauguSt 2017 - july 2018 aNNual report Independent Auditor’s Report For the Financial Year Ended 31 July 2018 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT FIJI NATIONAL SPORTS COMMISSION Opinion I have audited the financial statements of Fiji National Sports Commission, which comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 July 2018, the statement of income and expenditure, 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.
In my opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of Fiji National Sports Commission as at 31 July 2018, and of its financial performance and its cash nows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards for Small and Medium-sized Entities (“IFRSs for SMEs”).

Basis for Opinion I conducted my audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing ( ISA).
My responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of my report.
I am independent of the Commission in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountant ‘s Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to my audit of the financial statements in Fiji and I have fulfilled other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code.

I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my opinion.
Responsibilities of the Management and Members of the Commission for the Financial Statements The management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with IFRS for SMEs, the requirements of Fiji National Sports Commission Decree 2013 and for such internal control as the management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Commission’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the management intend to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

The members of the Commission are responsible for overseeing the Commission’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements My objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes my opinion.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISA 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 the financial statements.
20 Fiji NatioNal SportS CommiSSioNauguSt 2017 - july 2018 aNNual report Independent Auditor’s Report (Cont’d) For the Financial Year Ended 31 July 2018 As part of an audit in accordance with ISA, I exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
I also: • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my 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 Commission’s internal control.
• • • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

Conclude on the appropriateness of the management’s and directors’ use of 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 Commission’s ability to continue as a going concern.
If I conclude that a material uncertainty exists, I am required to draw attention in my auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify my opinion.

My conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of my auditor’s report.

However, future events or conditions may cause the Commission to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

I communicate with the management and members of the Commission regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that I identify during my audit.
