ROWING NEW ZEALAND / ANNUAL REPORT 2016

CHAIRMAN AND CEO REPORT 2016 2

016 will always be defined by the Rio Olympics and the on water performances of our team.

While very proud of our elite team (56 athletes including 43 Olympic athletes, 6 coaches, 9 support staff ) 30 of whom made the Olympic ‘A’ finals with three Olympic medals, we always want more, expect more

GERRY DWYER, Chairman of the Board

The world is catching up and the spread of medals across 21 nations is a strong indicator of the challenge ahead.

SIMON PETERSON, Chief Executive

and we always analyse why not more medals.

The world is catching up and the spread of medals across 21 nations is a strong indicator of the challenge ahead.

Eight crews in Olympic ‘A’ finals is a credit to the dedication of our athletes, our coaches and the HP team. The depth in our programme and the experience gained in 2016 provide us with confidence for 2017 and beyond.

But 2016 will also sadly be remembered for the loss of Tom Reid a wonderful contributor and a true rowing personality across coaching, managing and competing.

Joy Owens a long-time supporter at all levels of rowing also passed away and her very — 01 —

positive contribution is acknowledged. Dudley Storey, one of our greatest athletes and a thoroughly devoted rowing personality died in March 2017 but we deem it appropriate that his name is recognised in this and future reports as he deserves as many accolades as have been attributed and the many more that will come.

GOVERNANCE The board governance report sits alongside this report and conveys the commitment made by all Rowing NZ board members in the interest of all members of our sport. We thank them for their diligent oversight.

FINANCIAL A special acknowledgment of the work of our Audit Finance Risk and Compliance Committee members (Chair Joanna Perry, Jerry Rickman, Tonia Cawood, Gerry Dwyer, and Hayden Dillon) as theirs is an increasing and significant workload and responsibility.

They have been provided with a professional level of high quality information through the diligent work of Rachelle Stoddart. Four year forecasts lead to an intriguing conversation of prior four year comparisons and possible eight year outlooks as foreign exchange, athlete and coach numbers, plant requirements and HPSNZ reporting all increase.

ROWING NEW ZEALAND / ANNUAL REPORT 2016

PARTNERSHIPS December 2016 brought to a close 12 years of a very unique and special partnership between sponsor and sport. Derek and Judy have been outstanding supporters domestically and internationally for rowing in this country, for Rowing NZ as the national body and for our elite athletes. Derek and Judy Jones have sold Bankstream, but we are delighted to agree new terms for the coming four years (details to be announced) through to Tokyo 2020. The partnership continues.

The philanthropic programme has contributed so much to ensure the continuity of one of New Zealand sports biggest HP programmes. This has been led by David Richwhite and Peter Masfen along with the Brian Perry Charitable Trust. Campbell Meyers, Sean Colgan and Peter Harris have also made significant contributions.

We are truly grateful for this very generous support that allowed so many young rowers to compete in Rio on their way to the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. David, Peter, Sean, Campbell, Peter, Brian Perry Trustees thank you for your amazing support in 2016 and towards Tokyo.

2016 saw another first for rowing in NZ when the Evers-Swindells became the first New Zealanders to win the coveted and often considered the most prestigious rowing accolade the Thomas Keller Medal. This is

not only a first for New Zealand rowing but an appropriate recognition of Caroline and Georgina’s dedication to being the best. They have laid a wonderful foundation for our sport.

has contributed significantly to the success of the programme and we owe him a great deal of gratitude for his unquestioned commitment to the high performance programme.

MANAGEMENT The Rowing New Zealand staff have remained stable throughout the year and we acknowledge their dedication and support to the board and to the members.

After significant consultation we were pleased to implement (at the request of our members) a new Coach Development Manager position in March 2016. Rebecca Beattie has lead the development phase of this role with already positive signs for our coaching investment including a national coaching conference in May 2017 and a new strategic plan to be released during 2017.

To all our volunteers, thank you for a wonderful year. The sport is in good heart domestically and your commitment brings much to the success at school, club and masters levels whether your time is committed on the water or off the water – thank you.

Conrad Robertson has stood down as an elite selector after 20 years in that role, more recently as Convenor. The success of Rowing NZ’s high performance programme can never be laid at the feet of one person but Conrad

SPONSORS In saying farewell to Bankstream and acknowledging a new partnership for the next four years we are also extremely grateful for the on-going investment of Aon NZ and Mercury. Their willingness to invest in the development of school and club athletes is highly respected by all in the rowing community and we enjoy a positive working relationship with them.

We are delighted to reconfirm a four year commitment with 2XU as official clothing supplier to Rowing NZ. Gallagher have resigned as naming right sponsor for the High Performance Centre and we thank BNZ and Pure South for their positive support which ends with this Olympic cycle.

— 02 —

LOOKING AHEAD Tokyo 2020 qualification is only three years away. The winds of change ensure athletes and coaches must continue to evolve to ensure the wonderful foundations built by the likes of Tom, Joy, and Dudley and many others are enhanced in a positive way, on and off the water.

ROWING NEW ZEALAND / ANNUAL REPORT 2016

HIGH PERFORMANCE REPORT 2016 Rowing New Zealand through its High Performance programme will produce world leading people and performances, ensuring that at every Olympic Games New Zealand is the worldÕs leading rowing nation.

I ALAN COTTER, High Performance Director

2016 Selectors: Elite/Under 23 – Conrad Robertson (convenor), Barrie Mabbott, Calvin Ferguson, Noel Donaldson Junior – Luke van Velthooven, Janey Wackrow, Judith Hamilton North Island Under 18 – Ian Bright, Mark James, Craig Smith South Island Under 18 – Alex Meates, Tom Stannard, Kaye Surgenor

n 2016 New Zealand won the overall World Cup points trophy for the third consecutive year, and was the second best rowing nation at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.

Our team in Rio achieved three medals (2 gold and 1 silver), below our target of five medals.

The three 4th placings were frustrating, and looking back as to why a few lessons were learnt by all; 1. The Olympic Games are different to the World Championships as village life and transport are out of your control.

Athletes, coaches and management need to adjust to the uncontrollable 2. With the uncontrollable the mindset needs to be about being in the moment and performance.

The athletes that medalled had the above under control. Four of these five athletes had been to previous Olympics Games, and were familiar with the Olympic village environment.

Following reviews after Rio there were a number of areas that were highlighted by coaches and athletes around selection process and athlete welfare.

— 03 —

Rowing New Zealand had a goal of qualifying 14 boats for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games but achieved 11 boats, with only Great Britain having more boats at 12. Both New Zealand and Great Britain achieved eight finals.

Analysing information from Rio there were some notable differences between the experience of the Great Britain and our own team, highlighting the importance of Rowing NZ retaining and developing our young athletes for Tokyo 2020 and beyond.

The start of the next Olympiad has begun with a new High Performance Strategic Plan.

VISION – WORLD LEADING Rowing New Zealand through its High Performance programme will produce world leading people and performances, ensuring that at every Olympic Games New Zealand is the world’s leading rowing nation.

MISSION To build and deliver the world’s leading high performance system, which delivers sustainable winning performances.

PHILOSOPHY Performance-driven, athlete focused, coach-led.

HIGH PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES 1. Winning Culture and Legacy Protected and Nurtured in World Leading High Performance Centre 2. Sustained World Leading Performances 3. World Leading Coaching Team 4. World Leading Athletes in World Leading Development Pathways 5. World Leading Innovation and Continuous Improvement A new selection panel has also been established and new policies introduced, including that the final World Championships crews will be confirmed in August following the World Cups.

The Rowing New Zealand High Performance Programme is most grateful for the support received from HPSNZ through to Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, both in financial and the support staff they provide to work with our coaches and athletes. HPSNZ has shown confidence in our sustainable programme by investing $20.4M over the next four years. Although we had a decrease of $200K per year over 2016 funding we are confident our programme is sustainable.

The Rowing New Zealand High Performance Programme has had great support from the Rowing New Zealand Board and Simon Peterson, with the philanthropic initiative. Without this extra funding there would be no eights programme or a sustainable programme through to 2020 and beyond.

I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the support and contribution made by all of our athletes, coaches, selectors, management and HPSNZ support staff to the High Performance Programme.

I would also like to acknowledge the service of Conrad Robertson, who after twenty years of volunteer service as convenor, has resigned from the selection panel. Conrad has played an important role in the growth of the High Performance Programme which sets us in good stead for the future.

ROWING NEW ZEALAND / ANNUAL REPORT 2016

DOMESTIC REVIEW 2016 The Domestic regattas have showcased rowing as a life-long sport, with numerous former world champions, Olympians and elite rowers all getting back out on the water.

D BOB EVANS, Domestic Committee Chairman

uring 2016 the review of the Water Safety Code in consultation with Maritime NZ and a large number of Local Councils was an extremely important and extensive area of focus.

The development of the new code followed sound processes and ensured we strengthened relationships with significant agencies. The final document delivered is much clearer and being much more concise should assist our clubs with developing their own protocols and thus compliance. We will continue to work to help promote this code to ensure safe rowing for all.

Race Officials recruitment has continued to progress with several new trainees now ready to sit exams and become fully licenced officials. Another four introductory sessions have been held in order to ensure we develop a sustainable workforce to run regattas. The area of revision for our current officials is still being worked through so that we can share knowledge and maintain standards, particularly as we head into a rule change year next year.

Development of new FISA officials has also begun and we will be working to ensure we have new officials taking these steps to international representation.

The Whole of Sport Forum gathered all the region’s leaders together and again proved invaluable.

Feedback was sought on the National Championships and the Rules of Racing; this being the start of a concerted effort to ensure all clubs had the opportunity to voice their concerns affecting their rowers and coaches. At the Forum Rowing NZ also introduced its new technology, the Rowing NZ App; this has been a great way to stay current with technology and reach our members in another way.

The Rowing NZ App has been a great way to stay current with technology and reach our members in another way.

This app allows video sharing, connection to athletes through the likes of training and technical advice, access to safety and key documents, events and news updates and coaching information and videos.

Coach Development has previously been identified as a key area Rowing NZ should advance. In 2016 a key step in achieving ongoing development was achieved with the establishment of the Coach Development Manager position.

Already, through this role, filled by Rebecca Beattie, just under 100 coaches of various abilities from around the regions have undertaken steps to further develop their skills. These numbers include developing 30 coaches at the Scholarship forums, 40 at the Rowing NZ Introduction workshops in Auckland, Dunedin and Christchurch, running development workshops for our current Rowing NZ age group coaches, our PCA (Performance Coach Advance, Sport NZ) coaches and sending a group of 10 coaches to the Sport NZ Connecting Coaches conference in Dunedin.

As well as face to face development for these coaches, in 2016 considerable work has gone into the development of a coaching strategy, a coach development framework and an online learning platform began. Rowing NZ has been working with four regionally based coach developers who have been involved in the development of the coaching strategy and framework. One of the Coach Developers attended the Sport

NZ Coach Developer Training programme with more booked to go for 2017. Planning is also well underway for the next Rowing NZ Coaches Conference to be held in 2017.

2016 BANKSTREAM NEW ZEALAND ROWING CHAMPIONSHIPS 890 athletes from 49 clubs descended on Lake Karapiro to compete for National honours in the wide variety of boats and classes offered. Unfortunately challenging conditions during the middle of the week at Lake Karapiro meant that Thursday’s racing was pushed into Friday, but all racing was completed, albeit in a compressed format.

The two days of finals, held in ideal conditions, saw some great racing, the Premier Pairs saw the big names of sweep rowing in New Zealand serve up some great results, while in the club scene some races were so close only 0.01 seconds separated some medallists.

2016 BANKSTREAM NEW ZEALAND MASTERS CHAMPIONSHIPS Driving rain and strong headwinds were no match for the 443 athletes from across New Zealand that competed at Lake Karapiro in September. The regatta showcased rowing as a life-long sport, with numerous former world champions, Olympians and elite — 26 —

rowers all getting back out on the water.

The 2016 event also provided the first opportunity for New Zealand athletes and officials to test out the new 1000m course which will be used for the 2017 World Masters Games.

ROWING NEW ZEALAND / ANNUAL REPORT 2016

UNIVERSITY ROWING REPORT 2016 The World University pathway continues to be valuable for the development of student athletes, particularly those who are no longer eligible for the U23 grade.

U TIM WILSON, Rowing Coordinator, Universities Committee

niversity Rowing continues to grow albeit at a slow rate; the 2016 Aon NZ University Championships saw a 4% increase in the numbers compared to 2015. Numbers are still much smaller than school rowing but with continued marketing and promotion we are hopeful this small growth will also continue.

The 2016 Aon NZ University Championships were held in Twizel with wonderful conditions for all. Despite initial concerns over some cold weather the sun shone on 367 athletes from eight universities and nine campuses.

Rowing NZ continues to invest in the university area by providing financial support to the university coaches as well as supporting the large financial cost for universities to transport boats. Financial support is deemed crucial for the ease of participation of students.

The University High Performance athletes were again supported along the pathway with further inclusion within the Rowing NZ programme. Five athletes and one coach were selected into three crews, a men’s double, men’s pair and a men’s single to compete in Poznan, Poland. The small team competed well during the regatta culminating with silver in the men’s pair, fifth in the men’s double and tenth in the — 35 —

men’s single. The World University pathway continues to be valuable for the development of student athletes, particularly those who are no longer eligible for the U23 grade.

The annual University Trans-Tasman event was held in Queenstown and Clyde and it was great to have a large number of universities represented within the team. While New Zealand retained the trophy the crews selected were slightly different this year after the lightweights were no longer included in the series due to lack of commitment from Australia. The decision to only take eights was a tough decision but was one based off athlete feedback and the need for valuable racing for this team.

Unfortunately due to the timing of the regatta the Tertiary Championships didn’t go ahead in 2016 but it will be something we will continue to try and drive particularly as this opens up the avenue for further postsecondary school rowing involvement.

University rowing is a growth area of our sport and Rowing NZ will continue to support these rowers and clubs over the coming years. We are excited by university rowing’s potential within New Zealand and will continue to promote it as part of both the domestic and high performance calendar.

ROWING NEW ZEALAND / ANNUAL REPORT 2016

SECONDARY SCHOOLS REPORT 2016 With 2016 behind us, we now have many things to celebrate, but we also reflect and assess where lessons have been learnt, all of this ensures we can move forward for the betterment of school rowing.

O GILLIAN SIMPSON, Schools Committee Chairperson

ver the last year school rowing has continued to grow around the country and the attendance at the school rowing events has been considerable, leaving us to examine how we are to continue to support the same formats in the future. Time away from school, well-being of athletes and the stress and time commitment of volunteers must all be considered when trying to shape where these events will head.

The pinnacle event of the season, the Aon New Zealand Secondary Schools Rowing Championships – the Aon Maadi Cup Regatta, allows for schools to compete for top honours. We must acknowledge and give thanks to the event’s sponsor Aon for their ongoing support. In 2016 the Aon Maadi Cup regatta was hosted by South Island Rowing Inc on Lake Ruataniwha with 2112 rowers from 119 schools. With little interruption from the weather this regatta was completed successfully. Assessment of the health and safety of this regatta was conducted and the Rowing NZ Board is continuing its due diligence to ensure regattas such as this are conducted safely.

The Aon North Island Secondary School Championships required stringent entry limits once again as large numbers were — 39 —

The Schools Committee aims to recruit and retain young rowers and to encourage a lifelong love of the sport. in attendance. These limits are used in order to be able to host this regatta without encroaching on more school time. The 2016 Meridian South Island Secondary School Championships were held successfully also, however the proposed 10 lane solution (to give more time to run the regatta) had not been completed or tested prior to this regatta so was not yet used. The Committee will continue to work through issues they are facing for future regattas.

Engagement of Principals was significant this year, not only was there good attendance of Principals at the 2016 Aon Maadi Cup but there was also good response when they were asked to consider the matter of lightweight rowing at junior level. The Schools Committee conducted analysis of the current junior lightweight data and a paper was prepared highlighting the concerns and misconceptions of the participation in the grade. Due to the changes in the health and

safety laws along with reported incidents in the weigh in area, a recommendation was reached that Principals needed to consider this matter. The NZSSRA Special General Meeting was held where the Schools Committee proposed that the Association cease classifying rowers by weight due to health and well-being issues within our sport at the junior level. We were disappointed that this remit did not pass but we respect the decision of the School Principals. The older age restriction was agreed to and has been applied. The Schools Committee will continue to monitor this area going forward with these new rules.

The Schools Committee aims to recruit and retain young rowers and to encourage a lifelong love of the sport. There is an increasing concern over the number of senior school rowers who are being approached by American Universities without enough good support and advice about the USA academic

programmes and impact on future rowing careers with Rowing NZ. As NZSSRA and Rowing NZ work in greater synergy with each other it is our rowers who benefit and we believe the work towards fuller integration has been well justified and has proven successful. It is therefore now appropriate for this process to continue and the final steps to be achieved.

In 2016 we all celebrated the successes of our Olympic Team. These great role models are paramount to the ongoing success of sporting codes as we develop young people in this country to be not only top sports men and women but also good citizens of the future. Coaches, managers, teachers, officials and senior rowers also share in the role in modeling respectful behavior, discipline and hard work to our young rowers. The Schools Committee supports any work in clubs and schools that emphasizes the importance of good — 40 —

citizenship and pride in representing any organisation.

With 2016 behind us, we now have many things to celebrate, but we also reflect and assess where lessons have been learnt, all of this ensures we can move forward for the betterment of school rowing. On behalf of the Schools Committee our thanks go to the regatta officials, coaches, managers, schools, clubs and the countless volunteers and family supporters for making this a fantastic year for our young rowers.

ROWING NEW ZEALAND / ANNUAL REPORT 2016

Notes to the accounts FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016

Reporting Entity New Zealand Rowing Association Incorporated (“Rowing New Zealand”) is an incorporated society under the Incorporated Societies Act 1908.

The financial statements of Rowing New Zealand for the year ended 31 December 2016 comprise Rowing New Zealand, and the consolidated financial statements of the Group. “The Group” comprises of Rowing New Zealand and its controlled entity New Zealand Rowing Foundation Inc (“the Foundation”). The principal aim of Rowing New Zealand and the Group is to provide leadership that enhances performance and participation in rowing.

Statement of Compliance The financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand (NZ GAAP). In the case of Rowing New Zealand and the Group, NZ GAAP is International Public Sector Accounting Standards as appropriate for Tier 2 Not-for-profit, Public Benefit Entities applying the Reduced Disclosure Regime (PBE Standards RDR). Rowing New Zealand and the Group have taken all disclosure concessions available. Rowing New Zealand and the Group are eligible to apply PBE Standards RDR as they have less than $30 million annual expenditure.

Basis of Preparation This is the first period of presenting financial statements under PBE Standards RDR. As a result of the adoption of these financial reporting standards Rowing New Zealand has been required to make changes to its accounting policies. Where changes in accounting policies have resulted in a material change to the prior year balances reported, the financial statements have been restated as per note 13.

The Group controls an entity when it has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to benefit from its activities. Under PBE IPSAS 6 Rowing New Zealand is considered to have control over the Foundation as Rowing New Zealand receives the majority of the benefits of the Foundation and appoints the majority of the governing body.

The financial statements of Rowing New Zealand and the Group have been prepared using the going concern assumption. The measurement basis adopted is that of historical cost, other than the revaluation of foreign exchange contracts and equity and debt instruments.

Significant Accounting Policies The following specific policies have been applied to all aspects of these financial statements:

(a) Presentation Currency The presentation currency and functional currency is the New Zealand Dollar. All amounts have been presented in New Zealand Dollars (rounded to the nearest dollar).

(b) GST Except for trade receivables and trade payables which are stated inclusive of GST, all amounts have been reported exclusive of GST.

(c) Taxation Until 9 October 2015, Rowing New Zealand was a registered charity and as a result was exempt from income tax. Rowing New Zealand was removed from the Charities Register effective 9 October 2015. Rowing New Zealand now has an exemption from income tax under section 46 of the Income Tax Act 2007 as a body promoting amateur games or sports. As such no income tax is payable.

The Foundation has charitable status and is exempt from income tax.

2 Revenue Recognition Revenue from exchange transactions Exchange transactions are those where the Group receives value (cash or other assets) and gives something (usually goods or services) of approximately equal value in return.

The Group receives exchange revenue from a number of sources. This revenue relates largely to services provided by Rowing New Zealand.

These services include international tours for selected athletes, sponsorship benefits to commercial partners, member benefits for licensed rowers and coach development programs for athletes, schools, clubs and universities.

The Group recognises revenue from providing these services in proportion to the stage of completion of the transaction at the reporting date.

Revenue from non-exchange transactions Non-exchange transactions are those where the Group receives value (cash or other assets) without giving approximately equal value in return. The Group receives non-exchange revenue in the form of government funding, grants, philanthropic funding and donations.

Cash or other assets received from non-exchange transactions are recognised as either revenue or a liability at the reporting date.

The specific recognition criteria in relation to the Group’s non-exchange transactions are: - Government Funding and Grants The recognition of government funding and grants depends on whether the revenue comes with any ‘conditions’ or ‘restrictions’.

If the revenue comes with ‘conditions’ that specifically require the Group to return the grant if the grant is not used in the way stipulated it is initially recognised as a liability. It is subsequently recognised as non-exchange revenue when the ‘conditions’ are satisfied.

‘Restrictions’ that do not specifically require the Group to return the cash or asset if it is not utilised in the way stipulated do not result in the recognition of a non-exchange liability. Such funding or grants are immediately recognised as non-exchange revenue.

- Philanthropic Funding and Donations Philanthropic Funding and Donations are voluntary transfers of cash, other monetary assets, goods or services that the Group receives which are free from conditions or restrictions. Philanthropic Funding and Donations are recognised as revenue at their fair value at the date the funding is received.

The Liquidity account is used to ensure that RNZ has ready access to liquid assets to sustain operations in the event of significant unanticipated increases in operating expenses or decreases in revenue to enable the organisation to preserve its capacity to deliver the domestic rowing programme and support the high performance programme. Funds can only be transferred out of this account in particular circumstances and with Board approval.

Intangible Assets The intangible asset owned by Rowing New Zealand is the website and member management system. Intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Costs for intangible assets are capitalised if the criteria for capitalising development costs are met.

Amortisation is recognised in the net surplus/deficit on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful life for the website and member management system is 5 years.

In December 2016 the Foundation converted its loan to Rowing New Zealand into a grant. The amount of $320,000 is included in Rowing New Zealand ‘s Other Income for for the year ended 31 December 2016.

Non-Current Loans Non-current loans are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Fair value is estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date. The market rate of interest used is determined by looking at assets of a similar maturity and credit risk. Movements in fair value, including those arising from impairment, are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Revenue and Expense.

ROWING NEW ZEALAND / ANNUAL REPORT 2016

Notes to the accounts FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016

At each balance date the carrying value of the Sport New Zealand loan is determined based on the discounted cash flows of the expected repayments for the loan. Rowing New Zealand must exercise judgement to determine both the expected future cash flows and the appropriate discount rate to apply to each loan. When doing this Rowing New Zealand takes into account the expected repayment term.

During 2016 Rowing New Zealand was not required to make a loan repayment under the agreed repayment calculation formula. Based on the formula, Rowing New Zealand also does not expect to make a repayment during 2017.

10 Foreign Currency Transactions and Financial Instrument Rowing New Zealand is subject to foreign currency risk when purchasing equipment and attending regattas outside New Zealand. Where exposure to foreign currency is certain, it is Rowing New Zealand's policy to reduce the uncertainty around exchange rates using forward exchange contracts and foreign currency bank accounts.

The Group holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency. Derivatives are initially measured at fair value; any directly attributable transaction costs are recognised in surplus or deficit as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognised in surplus or deficit.

As at 31 December 2016 commitments on forward exchange contracts totalled $450,849 (2015: $1,046,965).

11 Commitments and Contingencies There were no capital commitments or contingent liabilities at balance date At balance date an amount of $86,533 was due in respect of future operating lease payment for Association vehicles (2015: $93,383).

12 Related Party Disclosures The controlling entity of the group is Rowing New Zealand.

ROWING NEW ZEALAND / ANNUAL REPORT 2016

Key Management Personnel Compensation of the Group’s key management personnel includes salaries and non-cash benefits. The Group has recognised an expense of $594,752 relating to compensation of key management personnel (2015: $594,767).

Controlled Entity NZ Rowing Foundation Incorporated (the Foundation) As at 31 December 2016, John Wylie was Rowing New Zealand’s President, and Gerry Dwyer and Tonia Cawood were Rowing New Zealand Board Members in addition to being trustees of the Foundation.

During 2016 Rowing New Zealand appointed Ivan Sutherland and Murdoch Dryden to be trustees of the Foundation.

The Foundation lent Rowing New Zealand $320,000 in 2010. In December 2016 this loan was converted into a grant.

Rowing New Zealand provides administrative services to the Foundation. Rowing New Zealand does not charge for these services or for goods and services purchased on behalf of the Foundation.

13 Adjustments on transition to PBE Standards The accounting policies set out in the notes have been applied in preparing: - the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016; - the comparative information presented in these financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015; and - the opening PBE Standards RDR Statement of Financial Position at 1 January 2015 (the Group’s date of transition).

In preparing its opening PBE Standards RDR Statement of Financial Position, the Group has adjusted amounts previously reported in its financial statements which were prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (Financial Reporting Standards and Statements of Standard Accounting Practice). An explanation of how the transition from old NZ GAAP to PBE Standards RDR has affected the financial position is set out in the following tables.

The only material changes arising from the adoption of Tier 2 PBE have been the requirement to account for gains and losses on forward exchange contracts, the recognition of non-exchange revenue that was previously unrecognised at transition date and the revaluation of the Sport New Zealand loan to fair value.

The most significant component of the revenue recognition adjustment relates to funding received in 2014 to build an extension to the high performance centre located at Lake Karapiro. While this funding was provided for a specific purpose there was no requirement to repay it if not used for this purpose. Under PBE Standards RDR this funding does not meet the definition of a liability at the date of transition and therefore has not been treated as income in advance but rather an increase in opening equity.

PBE Standards RDR require non-current loans to initially be recognised at fair value plus transaction costs and to subsequently be revalued at amortised cost. The loan from Sport New Zealand was revalued at transition date to the amortised cost as at 1 January 2015. This resulted in a reduction in the value of the liability as outlined in the table below.

Opinion In our opinion, the accompanying incorporated society and group financial statements of New Zealand Rowing Association Incorporated (the incorporated society) and its subsidiaries (the Group) on pages 53 to 65: i. present fairly in all material respects the incorporated society's and Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2016 and its financial performance and cash flows for the year ended on that date; and ii. comply with Public Benefit Entity Standards Reduced Disclosure Regime (Not-For-Profit).

We have audited the accompanying incorporated society and group financial statements which comprise:

—

the incorporated society and group statement of financial position as at 31 December 2016;

—

the incorporated society and group statement of comprehensive revenue and expenses, statement of movements in members funds and statement of cash flows for the year then ended; and

—

notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (“ISAs (NZ)”). We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

We are independent of the incorporated society and group in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 (Revised) Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code.

Our responsibilities under ISAs (NZ) are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the incorporated society and group financial statements section of our report.

Our firm has provided other assurance services to the incorporated society and group. Subject to certain restrictions, partners and employees of our firm may also deal with the incorporated society and group on normal terms within the ordinary course of trading activities of the business of the incorporated society and group. These matters have not impaired our independence as auditor of the incorporated society and group. The firm has no other relationship with, or interest in, the incorporated society and group.

ROWING NEW ZEALAND / ANNUAL REPORT 2016

The Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this Independent Auditor's Report. Our responsibility is to read the Annual Report when it becomes available and consider whether the other information it contains is materially inconsistent with the incorporated society and group financial statements, or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appear misstated. If so, we are required to report such matters to the Directors.

Use of this Independent Auditor’s Report This report is made solely to the members as a body. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the members those matters we are required to state to them in the Independent Auditor’s Report and for no other purpose.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the members as a body for our audit work, this report, or any of the opinions we have formed.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the incorporated society and group financial statements The Directors, on behalf of the incorporated society and group, are responsible for:

—

the preparation and fair presentation of the incorporated society and group financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand (being Public Benefit Entity Standards Reduced Disclosure Regime (Not-For-Profit));

—

implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of a incorporated society and group set of financial statements that is fairly presented and free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and

—

assessing the ability to continue as a going concern. This includes disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the incorporated society and group financial statements Our objective is:

—

to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the incorporated society and group financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and

—

to issue an Independent Auditor’s Report that includes our opinion.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs NZ will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They 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 these incorporated society and group financial statements.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of these incorporated society and group financial statements is located at the External Reporting Board (XRB) website at: https://www.xrb.govt.nz/Site/Auditing_Assurance_Standards/Current_Standards/Page7.aspx.

This description forms part of our Independent Auditor’s Report.

ROWING NEW ZEALAND / ANNUAL REPORT 2016

SOCIAL MEDIA 2016 R

owing NZ’s numerous social media channels continue to grow, and remain a critical communication tool to engage with the rowing community and fans alike.

While the Olympic Games bring significant attention to our sport, they also bring some challenges. Restrictions and regulations surrounding the Olympic Games, Olympic athletes and associated images, wording and content can make it difficult to fully leverage the widespread attention the Games bring and place significant restrictions on what we, as a national federation, and our key sponsors can post. Working with the NZOC ensured that we had a firm understanding of the various rules, and were able to continue coverage without contravening IOC regulation.

PARTNERSHIPS AND COLLABORATION In 2016 social media partnerships such as the continuation and conclusion of Mighty

River Power’s (now Mercury) “Inside Rowing” video campaign, as well as High Performance Sport’s “This is High Performance” campaign proved popular and highly engaging. These collaborative partnerships are a valuable tool for both parties and allow resources to be shared to produce impressive outcomes.

TRENDS All Rowing NZ social media channels saw solid growth during 2016, with trends aligning to global social media trends.

Facebook continues to be our highest reaching and engaging platform, with an exceptional 54% increase of over 6000 likes on the New Zealand Rowing Team page, reflective of the keen interest in the build up to the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.

Instagram is rapidly becoming the app of choice for many users, and has ballooned to host an impressive 15,000 plus following.

Much higher levels of engagement are also

evident on Instagram, particularly with the younger (under 30) age group. New inapp tools such as Instagram stories and Boomerang also add a fun and interesting way of communicating with the rowing community, particularly at regattas.

Twitter remains useful as a broadcast tool with lower levels of engagement but still valuable reach, at around 50,000 impressions per month and a growth rate of around 1 – 6 new followers a day depending on regatta or team activity.
