ASIAL Annual & Financial Report 2011 3

message from the

President It is my pleasure to present you with the Australian Security Industry Association’s 2011 Annual Report.

You may recall that at the Association’s AGM on the 7th of October 2009 the membership voted to adopt a new Constitution to allow the Association to apply to become a Registered Industrial Organisation of Employers. Last year I announced that ASIAL had been successful in its application as an Industrial Organisation of Employers and therefore be able to formally represent members on IR issues (both Fair Work Australia and Federal Court).

Our first year under this regime includes the following achievements.

The Association’s first postal Board election was conducted under the auspices of the Australian Electoral Commission.

The Security Services Industry Award 2010 awareness campaign was rolled out across the country through funding from the Federal Government’s Shared Industry Assistance Projects program.

Your Board authorised the full pay out of the loan on Security Industry House, which your Association now owns outright.

After three years work, Professor Rick Sarre, Centre for Regulation and Market Analysis (University of South Australia) and Professor Tim Prenzler, Centre of Excellence in Policing and Security (Griffith University) released the findings of their benchmark study - Private Security and Public Interest.

As the first ever comprehensive study of the security industry in Australia the report not only identifies the dimensions of the industry, but also addresses and provides recommendations for regulation, preferred legal empowerments and immunities, occupational health and safety concerns, and, perhaps most importantly, the pre-requisites for effective partnerships between public and private personnel.

ASIAL provided financial and in-kind support along with administrative assistance and advice. The bulk of the funds were provided by the Australian Research Council. The key aims of the project were to provide data to assist government in policy development related to the industry and to facilitate effective crime prevention partnerships between government and private security.

ASIAL has also this year gained Approved Security Industry Association status in Queensland. This adds to our existing approved status in the ACT, NSW and Victoria.

All security firms operating in Queensland are now required as a condition of their licence, to be a member of an Approved Security Industry Association. As an approved Association, ASIAL will take on a key role of improving the

4 ASIAL Annual & Financial Report 2011

integrity of the security industry in Queensland, which is regulated under the Security Providers Act 1993.

At Security 2010, I announced the development of a program to professionalise the Electronic security sector of our Industry.

At its February meeting in Brisbane, the ASIAL board endorsed the establishment of a Technical Security Certification scheme. This scheme has been designed to provide a pathway for technicians to progress within the security industry and for their skill levels to be recognised.

This vendor neutral certification program provides industry recognition of capabilities across a broad range of areas, including access control, alarms, CCTV and the underpinning IT requirements for the security industry.

I trust that employers and technicians alike will embrace this initiative as it seeks to provide a long overdue advance for the technical sector of the industry. The program aims to provide security equipment installers with greater clarity on their career pathways and provide a means of encouraging further professionalism within the sector.

It is our desire that a truly national Certification program will assist Council Of Australian Governments (COAG) with its stage two objective of harmonisation of the technical sector.

This year also marked the launch of the Association’s Member recognition program, whereby eligible corporate Members are recognised once they have attained specified membership milestones. The four recognition categories include: • Platinum – 25 years or more of continuous membership • Gold –16 – 24 years of continuous membership • Silver – 11 – 15 years of continuous membership • Bronze – 6 - 10 years of continuous membership As we look forward to the future, I urge you all to actively engage and contribute to your association, to enable us to continue to effect positive change and to improve the standing and professionalism of our industry.

In closing I would like to give my thanks and gratitude for the contribution and effort exerted by the ASIAL secretariat led by our Chief Executive Officer Bryan de Caires, my fellow Directors, State Convenors, Special Interest Groups and State Reference Groups, without whom the continued success and growth of this association would not be possible.

Ged Byrnes, President, ASIAL

Secretary’s report Over the past year the Association has successfully faced many challenges and embraced many opportunities on behalf of its members around the country. As a result, a strong performance was recorded with a surplus of $208,099 generated for the year.

The foundation for the performance was strong Member acquisition (+36.7%); growth in existing membership subscriptions (+5.9%); interest and investment income (+26.2%) and publication sales (+10.2%). The better than forecast performance was also achieved through prudent financial management which saw expenses down 5.8% against budget.

Underperforming areas for the year were the Centre for Compliance (-88.5%); breakfast briefings (-69.4%); seminars and Workshops (-70.5%) and Security Insider magazine (-24.7%).

ASIAL’s authorisation as an approved security industry association in Queensland contributed to the strong growth in membership achieved over the year. Likewise, membership applications received from NSW security providers continue to be strong. However, uncertainty remains in NSW as to the direction the new state government will take regarding

co-regulation and the requirement to be a member of an approved industry association. The government’s decision is expected to have a significant impact on all approved security industry associations.

During the course of the year the Association paid off in full the loan on Security Industry House. The Association continues to invest in its members through the delivery of new member services and initiatives such as the customer relationship database upgrade and promotion through the national consumer awareness campaign.

Accumulated reserves rose to $2,400,456 providing a strong platform from which the Association can further develop its advocacy role for members and the industry as a whole.

In closing, I would like to thank the Board (and in particular Ged Byrnes), Convenors and Secretariat staff for their ongoing support and commitment.

Bryan de Caires Chief Executive Officer & Secretary

ASIAL Annual & Financial Report 2011 5

The Association experienced a year of strong membership growth.

6 ASIAL Annual & Financial Report 2011

Operating report

In what has been a particularly busy and engaging year, the Association has had many highlights. Among the key highlights of the year has been the exceptionally strong growth in membership.

The Association’s membership base grew by more than 5% through the financial year. As of 30 June 2011 there were 3,234 Members. A significant component of this growth came from Queensland, where mandatory membership was introduced in February 2011.

Given the ability for Members to amend their details, all Members were required to confirm their Duly Appointed Representative (DAR).

A Member representative holding the DAR position is able to act on behalf of the membership, including the ability to request any required membership changes and, if eligible, to vote on behalf of the Member.

ASIAL Member recognition program

ASIAL became an Approved Security Industry Association in Queensland with the introduction of the requirement on 24 February 2011 that all security firms operating in Queensland need to be a member of an Approved Security Industry Association. In this role, ASIAL will take on a key role of improving the integrity of the security industry, which is regulated under the Security Providers Act 1993.

The Association officially launched its Member Recognition Program during the 2011 Australian Security Industry Awards for Excellence, held at Crown, Melbourne on 4 May 2011. The program provides eligible long standing Corporate Members a point of difference when promoting their business.

A total of 656 new applications were received for the period, an increase of 29% on the previous financial year. In line with the Association’s commitment to higher standards and professionalism, ASIC Veda checks were conducted on all new applicants. Of the applications received, 89% were successful in obtaining membership with the Association.

For the first time, a Member Reference Guide was distributed to all new and renewing Members during the year. The Guide provided access to the many benefits of being an ASIAL Member, including usernames and passwords for the Member login area and contact details for the secretariat, licensing bodies, business support and a copy of the Association’s Professional Code of Conduct.

ASIAL Board Elections

First Alert newsletters

Following ASIAL’s registration as an Employer Organisation under the Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Act 2009, Board elections were conducted by the Australian Electoral Commission for the first time in 2010.

The Association’s monthly electronic newsletter, First Alert, continued to provide relevant and timely updates on news and industry events to Members throughout the year. The e-newsletter is distributed to more than 5,385 recipients each month.

Customer Relationship Database

Face to face industry briefings

The Association continued to make significant enhancements to its customer relationship database and online capability during the year.

The changes resulted in Members gaining access to higher levels of services and benefits, including:

The Association’s industry breakfast briefings held in Sydney, Perth, Hobart, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra and Melbourne throughout the year continued to generate strong attendances. Speakers included the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, Department of Commerce, The NBN Co, Department of Justice (Tas), Consumer Affairs Victoria, Australian Taxation Office, Office of Fair Trading, Queensland Fire and Rescue Service, Office of Regulatory Services, NSW Police, QLD Police, SA Police, WA Police and the Office of Consumer and Business Affairs.

• An enhanced Member Search facility for full Corporate Members; • The ability to make ‘real time’ changes to their online Member profile; and • The ability for contacts attached to a Member company to have their own personalised log-in details.

Shared Industry Assistance Project to make the Modern Award clearer for security industry employers In early 2011, the Fair Work Ombudsman (FWO) in conjunction with the Australian Security Industry Association (ASIAL) commenced a national education campaign on changes to the Security Services Industry Award 2010.

The campaign was funded by the Australian Government through the Fair Work Ombudsman’s Shared Industry Assistance Projects (SIAP) Grant Program, which aims to better inform employers (particularly small to medium businesses) about changes to modern awards applicable to their industry sector. Following a competitive selection process, ASIAL was one of 15 successful organisations selected to deliver the education campaign in conjunction with the FWO. The campaign provided information tailored specifically to the needs of security industry employers (ASIAL Members and non-members). The campaign featured: • 10,000 copies of a printed information guide, copies of which were placed in the February/March edition of Security Insider Magazine and supported through mail outs conducted by licensing bodies in TAS, ACT, VIC and NSW. • A dedicated website, www.securityindustryaward.com.au, was viewed more than 3,400 times and featured a downloadable copy of the guide, fact sheets, checklists, six online videos, links to the FWO website and an online question/feedback facility.

• Face to face information seminars in Hobart, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Sydney and Canberra. These seminars attracted an audience of 270 people.

• A dedicated helpline, from which Chris Delaney, ASIAL’s Fair Work Liaison Officer, responded to more than 100 calls.

• Ongoing communication through dedicated Security Industry Award e-newsletters and a SMS campaign.

The guide, seminars and online resources covered key features of the Modern Award such as the National Employment Standards, hours of work, breaks, shift work penalties, overtime, employment status, classifications, loadings and rates of pay summaries.

The Association was acknowledged for the “high level of educative materials produced” for the security industry.

awareness Industrial Relations

Complaints, Compliance & Regulatory Affairs

2011 saw the first full year of the new modern award system, changes to industrial relations laws and the first Annual Wage Review affecting Federal system employers, and the second anniversary of the Fair Work Act 2009.

Other than Western Australia, all state private sector employers i.e. sole traders and partnerships were drawn into the federal system on 1 February 2011.

ASIAL developed (with support of the Fair Work Ombudsman) a national education campaign targeting employers in the private security industry through free seminars, websites, a simplified guide to the award and an information hotline.

The Association has supported and represented members in unfair dismissal cases, adverse actions, discrimination and underpayment of wages claims. All of which have increased as a result of changes to workplace legislation and increased union activity.

In 2011 the Fair Work Ombudsman (FWO) embarked on a follow up audit campaign focusing on wages and conditions, sham contracting and phoenixing in the private security industry.

The Association has sought and gained clarification on the application of meal and crib breaks, broken shifts, non armoured cash in transit, casual loadings (in Queensland) part time work and casual overtime. We expect to make submissions to vary the Security Services Industry Award 2010 in the next review period commencing January 2012.

With the recent Annual Wage review ASIAL has been able to secure approval of all rates schedules through the FWO ensuring members accurate rate schedules acceptable to the FWO. ASIAL continues to identify issues affecting members and the industry and will continue to represent the best interests of members and the industry to Government agencies and industrial tribunals.

The Association continues to actively manage complaints and disputes in accordance with its Complaint and Dispute Resolution Policy and Procedures. Thirty-five (35) dispute enquiries were registered with seventeen (17) formal complaints investigated. The majority of these disputes and complaints were processed through conciliation with no disputes or complaints forwarded to the Disciplinary Committee.

A common thread among the complaints and disputes received, revolved around communication and service delivery. The Association provided support, advice and guidance to both Members and the public in achieving satisfactory outcomes.

Membership compliance continued, with a strong emphasis on ensuring member adherence to legislative requirements, industrial relation matters and safety issues.

Specific concerns have surrounded compliance with regards to the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC) requirements for Cash in Transit (CIT) service providers. Legislative change has positioned CIT providers with management and compliance costs that are considered disproportionate to the identified risks. ASIAL continues to communicate with the Federal Government and AUSTRAC in an effort to provide CIT providers with a compliance regime that is manageable and cost effective.

The last 12 months has seen a significant increase in CIT member compliance concerns and request for guidance in managing their compliance requirements.

The variations and independent nature of State and Territory security Regulators continues to complicate security operations nationally. This has been particularly evident with requests from Members seeking advice on licensing, registration, training, professional development, renewal training and cross border security operations and the associated compliance requirements.

Whilst implementation was to be achieved by July 2010, most State and Territory Regulators have implemented (or are in the process of moving to implement) the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) security licensing initiatives.

Disciplinary Matters In accordance with the ASIAL Constitution, during the course of the year 171 members were expelled from the Association. A further 30 were expelled, but later reinstated.

ASIAL has engaged with The NBN Co to work through migration issues with the roll out of the national broadband network.

Industry

Representation Careers in electronic security The Association, in conjunction with Business Skills Victoria and CPSISC, produced a ‘Careers in Electronic Security’ booklet during the financial year. The booklet encouraged new entrants to consider a role in the Electronic Security Industry and was disseminated to a number of careers advisors, employers and training organisations.

The booklet was funded under the Reframing the Future program as a Strategic National Initiative of the Ministerial Council for Vocational and Technical Education administered by the Commonwealth of Australia through the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations.

Forging partnerships A key focus for the Association has been to forge stronger partnerships with emergency services and regulatory agencies around the country. One example of this is the Memorandum of Understanding the Association entered into with The Australasian Fire and Emergency Service Authorities Council (AFAC) - the peak body for public sector fire, land management and emergency service organisations in Australia and New Zealand.

Similarly, whilst the security industry is keen to embrace the opportunities proposed under the National Broadband Network roll-out, ASIAL has raised industry concerns about the migration of vital legacy services such as security and alarm panels, medical and health monitoring systems, duress systems, fire panels and help point systems. Over the past year ASIAL has engaged with The NBN Co to work through some of the migration issues.

The Association continues to provide representation for its members through regular meetings with State/Territory Ministers and Regulators.

ASIAL Cabling Registry The past year has seen all five Cabling Registrars largely holding the numerical line, with steady inflows of new registrations and consistent rates of renewal partially offset by non-renewals due to retirements from the industry, with large numbers of those cablers converting to the CPR (registration) regulatory framework from the former ACA licensing system either reaching or nearing retirement age during their most recent 3-year registration period.

ASIAL has been no exception, enjoying modest growth with total registrations currently at 5362, up from 5267 as at time of publication of the previous ASIAL Annual Report.

The trend towards Open category registration as a first option, combined with the upgrading of existing Restricted registrations to the Open level, continues. ASIAL Open registrations currently outnumber Restricted registrations by 3.7 to 1, at 4216 to 1129.

This tendency remains consistent across all Registrars and industry sectors as more individual technicians recognise the legal-compliance inadequacy of the basic level licence (and its recognised competencies) as a qualification for work on current initiatives such as offered by the NBN. In the electronic security sector, home base of around half of ASIAL’s registered cablers, with installed systems increasingly complex and challenging, the writing could perhaps be said to have been on the wall for some time, yet observers in some quarters of the sector have reported seeing at least a slight increase in numbers of new Restricted registrations, especially in cases where the cabler’s employer underwrites the cost of training and registration.

Further to information in the previous Annual Report, the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has confirmed that no discussion of phasing out the basic licence has yet occurred or is likely to do so.

Consequently, ASIAL has prepared additional information for publication in Insider and First Alert, warning Restricted registered cablers to check the legal work scope permitted by their qualifications against the range of cabling tasks they undertake, or are requested to undertake, on a regular daily basis.

The ACMA may impose fines of over $1,300 on individuals for performing cabling work unregistered, or with a registration that does not appropriately qualify the holder for that work.

Independent Audit Report to Members We have audited the accompanying financial report of Australian Security Industry Association Limited (the company) which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2011 and the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information and the directors' declaration.

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal controls as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

In our opinion the financial report of Australian Security Industry Association Limited (a) is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: (i) giving a true and fair view of the company's financial position as at 30 June 2011 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and (ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001; and (b) complies with the requirements of Part 3 of Chapter 8 of the Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Act 2009.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. 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 about 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 judgement, 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 of the financial report that gives a true and fair view 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.

ABN 91 000 813 365

Notes to the financial statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2011 The financial statements are for Australian Security Industry Association Limited (the company) as an individual entity incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The company is limited by guarantee.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Preparation The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001.

Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in financial statements containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.

The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.

The financial statements were authorised for issue on 25 August 2011 by the directors of the company.

Accounting Policies (a) Revenue Recognition Members’ and other subscriptions or fees are accounted for when received and recognised as income in equal monthly amounts over the period to which they apply.

Income in respect of the various activities of the company, with the exception of special events / functions, is recognised when invoiced.

Income in respect of special events / functions is recognised when received.

Income received and expenses incurred in advance of activities are recognised when the activity is completed. If a loss is expected, a provision for the likely loss is made as soon as it becomes apparent.

All revenue is stated net of Goods and Services Tax (GST). (b) Development of New Services Costs of developing new services are expensed as incurred.

(c) Income Tax

The company is exempt from income tax as a result of being registered as an employer organisation under the Fair Work (Registered Organisation) Act 2009. (d) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at-call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position. (e) Trade and Other Receivables

Trade receivables are recognised and carried at the original invoiced amount. A provision for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written-off as incurred.

ABN 91 000 813 365

ASIAL Annual & Financial Report 2011 23

Notes to the financial statements (f) Property, Plant and Equipment Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value as indicated less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses.

Property Freehold land and buildings are shown at their fair value based on periodic, but at least triennial, valuations by external independent valuers, less subsequent depreciation for buildings.

In periods when the freehold land and buildings are not subject to an independent valuation, the directors conduct directors’ valuations to ensure the carrying amount for the land and buildings is not materially different to the fair value.

Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of land and buildings are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the revaluation surplus in equity. Revaluation decreases that offset previous increases of the same class of assets are recognised in other comprehensive income and reduce the revaluation surplus in equity. All other decreases are charged to the statement of comprehensive income.

Any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset.

Office Equipment Office equipment is measured on the cost basis and is therefore carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment. In the event the carrying amount of office equipment is greater than the estimated recoverable amount, the carrying amount is written down immediately to the estimated recoverable amount. A formal assessment of recoverable amount is made when impairment indicators are present (refer to Note 1(i) for details of impairment).

Depreciation The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including buildings, but excluding freehold land, is depreciated over the asset’s useful life to the entity commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are: Class of Fixed Asset

Depreciation Rate

Buildings – straight line basis

2.5%

Office equipment – diminishing value basis 10% - 66.7% The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains or losses are included in the statement of comprehensive income. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings. (g) Leases Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are recognised as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term. (h) Financial Instruments Initial recognition and measurement Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the company commits itself to either purchase or sell the asset (ie trade date accounting is adopted). Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs except where the instrument is classified “at fair value through profit or loss”, in which case transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss immediately.

24 ASIAL Annual & Financial Report 2011

ABN 91 000 813 365

Notes to the financial statements Classification and subsequent measurement Financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, or cost. Fair value represents the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties. Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value. In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted.

Amortised cost is the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition less principal repayments and any reduction for impairment, and adjusted for any cumulative amortisation of the difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets are classified at ‘fair value through profit or loss’ when they are held for trading for the purpose of short-term profit taking, or where they are derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or when they are designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value (ie gains or losses) being recognised in profit or loss.

Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Held-to-maturity investments Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments, and it is the entity’s intention to hold these investments to maturity. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Financial liabilities Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Impairment At the end of each reporting period, the company assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether an impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Also, any cumulative decline in fair value previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss at this point.

Derecognition Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability, which is extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss. (i) Impairment of Assets At the end of each reporting period, the entity reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is recognised in profit or loss.

Where the future economic benefits of the asset are not primarily dependent upon the asset’s ability to generate net cash inflows and when the entity would, if deprived of the asset, replace its remaining future economic benefits, value in use is determined as the depreciated replacement cost of an asset.

ABN 91 000 813 365

ASIAL Annual & Financial Report 2011 25

Notes to the financial statements Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an assets class, the entity estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the class of assets belong.

Where an impairment loss on a revalued asset is identified, this is recognised against the revaluation surplus in respect of the same class of asset to the extent that the impairment loss does not exceed the amount in the revaluation surplus for that class of asset. (j)

Trade and other payables Trade and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period for goods and services received by the company during the reporting period which remain unpaid. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amounts normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability.

(k) Employee Benefits Provision is made for the company’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the end of the reporting period. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. In determining the liability, consideration is given to employee wage increases and the probability that the employee may not satisfy vesting requirements. Those cash flows are discounted using market yields on national government bonds with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of cash flows.

Contributions are made by the entity to employee’s superannuation funds and are charged as expenses when incurred. (l) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the entity has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured. Provisions recognised represent the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period. (m) Goods and Services Tax (GST) Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities, which are recoverable from or payable to the ATO, are presented as operating cash flows included in receipts from customers or payments to suppliers. (n) Comparative Figures Where required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year. (o) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial statements based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the company.

Key Estimates Impairment The freehold land and buildings were acquired in November 2008. At 30 June 2011 the directors reviewed property prices in the area and concluded that the carrying value does not exceed the recoverable amount of land and buildings at 30 June 2011. (p) Economic Dependence The company is dependent on being recognised as the peak national body representing the interests of the security industry.

This year, for the first time, subscriptions were invoiced and accounted for when received. In prior years, they were invoiced and accounted for prior to their due date. This has had the effect of reducing trade receivables and unearned income in the balance sheet this year compared with prior years. It has not affected the income statement as subscriptions continue to be recognised as income over the period to which they relate.

Credit Risk – Trade Receivables There are no trade receivables in respect of subscriptions as they are invoiced only when received. The company’s credit terms in respect of services and activities are 30 days. Overdue debts are pursued and monitored by management. They are assessed for impairment and provided for where specific circumstances indicate that the debt may not be paid in full to the company.

The company does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or group of receivables.

The following table details the company’s trade receivables exposed to credit risk (prior to collateral and other credit enhancements) with ageing analysis and impairment provided thereon.

The balances of receivables that remain within the initial trade terms (as detailed in the table) are considered to be of high credit quality.

Notes to the financial statements Financial Risk Exposures and Management The main risks the company is exposed to through its financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk relating to interest rate risk. a. Credit Risk Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non-performance by counterparties of contract obligations that could lead to a financial loss for the company.

The company’s material credit risk exposures are trade receivables and cash deposited with banks.

The company’s exposure to credit risk arising from trade receivables is dealt with in Note 7.

The company deposits cash only with government guaranteed Australian banks. Cash was with the following banks at the year end:

Note

ANZ ING Citibank Rabo Direct

2010 $ 141,408 1,655,359

1,796,767

b. Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the company might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations in relation to financial liabilities. The company manages this risk by preparing regular cash flow forecasts and managing credit risks.

The table below reflects undiscounted financial liabilities and cash flows from financial assets that reflect management’s expectation as to the timing of realisation. Actual timing may therefore differ from that disclosed.

c. Market Risk Interest rate risk Exposure to interest rate risk arises on financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at the end of the reporting period whereby a future change in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value of fixed rate financial instruments.

ABN 91 000 813 365
