1 Fiji NatioNal SportS CommiSSioNauguSt 2016 - july 2017 aNNual report Executive Chairman’s Report Winning medals and attaining international achievements are only part of what drives us at FNSC.

Our commitment to the health and wellbeing of all Fijians, of all ages and occupations, has become of even greater significance as we face the growing epidemic of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs).
Our work to address the impact of lifestyle diseases has prompted the expansion of our Sports Outreach Programmes, both further afield and in the range of sporting and physical activities we make available for people of all ages to experience.

The numbers attending these programmes are continuing to grow, and it is pleasing to see that we are working with at-risk youth.
It has been gratifying to see sports administrators taking advantage of the courses made available throughout the year as part of the Train the Trainer Programmes, as well as through the Oceania Sports Education Programme.

These programmes help provide the strong foundations for the good governance that is essential to the successful administration of our National Sports Organisations.
We are also seeing a growing number of referees and coaches training for and receiving accreditation, with referees receiving remuneration for officiating at tournaments.

We recognise and appreciate our local referees, coaches, technical officials and administrators for the vital role they play in the continued development of the nation’s sporting life.

I am also extremely pleased to see our commitment to inclusiveness expanding our interaction with people with disabilities.
By taking programmes into the schools and organisations that support children and adults with different needs, we are promoting social interaction and healthy lifestyles for all Fijians, whatever their ability level may be.

We look forward to continuing to work in partnership with our stakeholders in the development of sporting excellence amongst teams and individual sports people.
We are also committed to working with the young and the wider community, especially in the rural sector, as we continue to build a dynamic, healthy, sporting nation.

Peter Mazey Executive Chairman I am pleased to present the Fiji National Sports Commission (FNSC) Annual Report for the August 2016 to July 2017 financial year.

This is the Commission’s first Annual Report for the full financial year, following Government’s initiative to realign the fiscal year to end July 31st.
I wish take this opportunity to acknowledge the ongoing support of my Board of Directors, whose combined business acumen and sporting knowledge is invaluable.

I also wish to acknowledge the Minister of Youth and Sports, our line Ministry, and the Minister of Economy for our funding assistance.

We appreciate Government’s continued commitment to the development of sports, at all levels, throughout Fiji.

As always, a special thanks to the staff of the Sports Commission.
Your hard work is essential to the realisation of our Mission and Vision statements.

The fiscal year began with Fiji’s participation in August in the 31st Olympic Games, held in Rio de Janeiro, and the subsequent celebrations nation-wide, when our Rugby 7s team won gold in their competition.

Their triumph was shared by all Fijians, at a time when many were still recovering from the onslaught of Category 5 Tropical Cyclone Winston.
Other medal successes were realised a month earlier at the 2017 Asian Indoor Martial Arts Games, in Turkmenistan, when our women weightlifters brought home gold in the 90kg class and silver in the 69kg class.

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 Act 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.
17 Fiji NatioNal SportS CommiSSioNauguSt 2016 - july 2017 aNNual report Independent Auditor’s Report (Cont’d) For the Financial Year Ended 31 July 2017 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.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements In accordance with the requirements of the Fiji National Sports Commission Act, in my opinion; (a) proper books of account have been kept by Commission, so far as it appears from my examination of those books; and (b) the accompanying financial statements: (i) are in agreement with the books of account; and (ii) to the best of my information and according to the explanations given to me, give the information required by the requirements of the Fiji National Sports Commission Act in the manner so required.
