The Fiji Public Trustee Corporation Limited has continued on the path of being a successful, and viable operation.

Over the last nine years, FPTCL has proved that given appropriate legislation, guidance, leadership and encouragement together with proper processes and procedures being put in place from the beginning, government departments can be successfully corporatised.
The move to the new headquarters in Amy Street, and being recognised in the NTPC Business Excellence Awards were the highlights of the year.

My Board colleagues, senior management and other staff have all worked tirelessly and as a cohesive team to achieve the pleasing results shown in the financials.

As FPTCL approaches its 10th year of operation, we do so with confidence that we can continue to fulfill the role expected of us by our stakeholders.
We know that we will have to face many old and new challenges, but the unique and strong team spirit that exists within our organisation is well placed to meet and overcome these.
Ikbal Jannif Chairman PAGE 1 Chief Executive Officer’s Report The year 2014 was another challenging year for the Corporation managing its operations through changes in legislations that effect our operations, the retirement of our senior and experienced staff and the implementation of new services, which required a lot of training and development of staff based on performance and in building business excellence.
We are pleased to advise that despite these challenges the Corporation continue its profitable trend through its self-funding operations for the ninth year since corporatization.

The year also marks the third year of operations under the Strategic Plan 2012-2014, which is aligned with Government’s “Strategic Framework for Change for pillars 4, 8 and 9”.

The Corporation reported an operating profit after tax of $371,877 compared to $353,788 in 2013 (an increase of 5%).
However, the net profit for the year, including other comprehensive income, was $709,737 after revaluing corporation’s investments.

In the last two years, the Corporation had initiated some fundamental changes in our business operations.

It worked on identifying new services based on customer demands and on strategic investment initiatives to improve returns on corporation investment funds.
This year we were able to launch the new services such as providing assistance to estate administrators and executors and legal conveyance services at reasonable cost to the public.

This has enabled us to cushion the effect of the loss in business from administrating superannuation trust for minors as of last year.
The investment in acquiring and modernizing Public Trustee House that now accommodates the corporation headquarters at 83 Amy Street, Toorak, Suva will see a savings of 8% per annum in our cost of doing business.

It also contributes income from rental and the effect of the new market valuation has contributed an additional $337,860 as other comprehensive income to the bottom line.
The Public Trustee House was commissioned by the Attorney General and Minister of Public Enterprises - Mr. Aiyaz Sayed Kaiyum on 17th June 2014.

Operational Performance There was an increase in the value of new estates administered in 2014.

There were 57 estates valued at $3.7M compared to 62 estates valued at $2.7M in 2013.

A total of 168 estates were settled in 2014 compared to 55 in 2013.
There were a total of 298 estates valued at $19.6M under administration in 2014 compared to 266 estates valued at $14.8M in 2013.

Estate values under administration are determined by recent valuations as part of the administration process.

There were 306 wills drawn in 2014 compared to 270 in 2013 for those registered with the corporation.

Twelve of the Estates settled last year were opened in the last 20 plus years, by the old Public Trustee Office.
The delays ranged from lack of response and commitment from the beneficiaries to the bureaucratic processes amongst various stakeholders involved in the administration of an estate.

The Dormant File Team was able to revive some of these old estates and closed-off those that have been distributed and settled.
PAGE 2 Operational Performance – Con’t Our Trust administration section currently administers 9,821 trust accounts valued over $19.4M from various trusts such as FNPF minor trust funds, Compensation funds, disability trusts and testamentary trusts for minors appointed through will.

In 2014 we received 205 new trusts valued at $281K and settled 555 trusts valued at $2.7M to those that have attained majority age and those that have closed their trust accounts.
The Legal services continue to provide support services, i.e.

attending to court matters, dealing with compliance issues, and further training and development of staff on legislative changes and case laws as part of our knowledge management.

We engage effectively with the public through our awareness campaigns on the importance of “Wills” through public presentations, radio, television talk back shows and website queries continue to be our major forms of marketing.
The team also attended a number of public expo’s and invitations for “Wills” awareness presentations to various organizations, civil society and community groups.

It was encouraging to see the increase in the number of wills drafted and queries received from the public during the year.

Our commitment in striving towards business excellence was recognized this year and we have entered the corporation into the Fiji Business Excellence Awardsagain in 2015.
Looking Ahead Our aim is to continue building an entity that is financially sustainable in providing the people of Fiji with professional and reliable estate and trustee services at no cost to government.

We focus our strategies on our customer services, our people,ourbusiness and in strengthening relationships with our stakeholders.
Interacting and understanding customers at a personal level and addressing their changing needs will give us the competitive edge in the market with the continuous growth in our portfolio.

Likewise, training and developing our staff is the key to achieving our mission of being the experts and professionals in our business.

We are reviewing our business processes to manage risk issues in the business and improve efficiency in our operations.
The corporation will also be investing in the IT system, which includes the upgrading of our server and the proposed review and enhancement of the TrustSoft software system and the Corporation’s website.

We will continue to identify and introduce new services that complement our core business,and strategically invest to sustain income growth.

I would like to thank the Directors and our hard working staff for the achievements for another successful year 2014.
