Chairman’s Report

Nau mai haere mai ki te rīpoata a tau o Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa

There were 47 people on Whakaari at the time it erupted on 9 December 2019. Nearly half lost their lives. Most of those who survived suffered severe and lasting injuries. Two White Island Tours staff members, Hayden Bryan Marshall-Inman and Tipene Maangi, died and two more, Kelsey Waghorn and Jake Milbank, were seriously hurt. In the days and weeks that followed we responded with manaakitanga: expressing our heartfelt aroha and compassion, in shelter and kai, tears and embrace.

Tribute is due to those who were at the forefront of the rescues, emergency response and the subsequent recovery mission, to those in the Whakatāne community who lent their support in a multitude of ways and to the exceptional and dedicated medical teams from around the motu and internationally whose intense and dedicated work with survivors continued over many, many months. Our focus remains on the bereaved families and those who have been injured. Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa will host a remembrance event on the first anniversary, with them at the centre.

The global pandemic, resulting in the March lockdown, created a new and unprecedented challenge. Led by marae and hapū, Ngāti Awa responded to the immediate needs of those most at risk.

While responding to these events, we have also had to work hard to develop and implement a recovery plan, which the Chief Executive sets out in her report.

We will continue to deal with the twin impacts of the eruption and COVID 19 in the years ahead as steadfastly as we can. We remain here: it is our home, it is our history, it is our future.

He kōrero whakakapi māku. He mihi aroha tēnei ki a koe Koro Joe, mo āu mahi whakakipakipa i a Ngāti Awa i roto i nga tau maha, kua pahure ake. He aha ra he korero māku, mōu i kawe i te nui o nga kaupapa ā iwi, ki ōna whakatutukitanga, hei painga mo tātou o Ngāti Awa. Noku te honore ki te whai i o tapuwae i roto i tenei tūranga heamana mo te iwi. Kia tau iho ngā tauwhirotanga ki runga i a korua ko Bunty me te whānau.

Mā te Atua tātau e manaaki e tiaki ngā wā katoa

Naaku noa Mark (Joe) Harawira

Te Ripoata o te Manahautū, Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa

E āku iti, e āku rahi tēnā tātau katoa.

In the first half of the financial year to December 2019, we had been directing resources to a medium to long-term focus on tourism, self-sustainability and self-directed futures. A number of projects were conceived to further these objectives – at both Rūnanga and commercial Group levels – and some in conjunction with partners.

Work on these was suspended with the Whakaari eruption, and our response to that terrible event, followed shortly after by Covid-19. When the lockdown was declared on 25 March 2020, Ngāti Awa marae, our social and health Service, Te Tohu o te Ora o Ngāti Awa, along with Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa management and staff, arranged for hundreds of food and home essentials to be packaged and delivered to vulnerable whānau and kaumātua of Ngāti Awa hapū, including those on Mōtītī island near Tauranga. Over 250 kaumātua over 65 were supported, along with vulnerable tamariki and those with chronic conditions, all of whom were the most at risk from Covid-19.

While continuing to respond to these events and their aftermath, at the same time we have had to continue with project development work. The principal ones are:

6

• Korehāhā Whakahau – a major pest eradication plan, starting with possums, across a 4,700ha area covering Whakatāne and Ōhōpe, benefitting biodiversity and boosting regional development and tourism.

Funded by Ngāti Awa, Predator-free 2050, a Provincial Growth Fund (PGF) grant and Te Papa Atawhai / Department of Conservation, and launched in June. It is the first Iwi-led Predator-Free 2050 project in Aotearoa. It is an example of what we hope will be many projects to protect and enhance our taiao, and reinstate our connections to our whenua.

• Kāinga – the transformation of the Whakatāne Army Hall that will celebrate Ngāti Awa culture, heritage and stories. With equity support from the PGF, this will be a destination anchor in the Whakatāne township, and will help us provide manaakitanga to visitors and residents. Kāinga will also reflect our taiao aspirations be sustainable and align with our values.

• Led by Te Rāhui Lands Trust, a potential new boat harbour adjacent to the Whakatāne river on Ngāti Awa owned Māori freehold land, funded by a PGF loan and equity. This will include a training facility for the Eastern Bay of Plenty.

• Te Ara Mahi – a workforce development and training programme delivered by Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa with partners to support the boat harbour development, our businesses, and most importantly descendants of Ngāti Awa into training and employment.

• Town and riverside regeneration in Whakatāne (Te Ara Hou) – led by the District Council, with our support, a range of work is underway to repurpose and beautify the town centre and riverside, with new walkways and mixed use spaces.

• Tourism Reset – alongside Ngāti Awa Group Holdings Limited we are jointly working on refreshing and repurposing our tourism offerings.

Guided by our values, we are seeking to create a Ngāti Awa eco-system of suppliers and service providers where the value we create is first distributed to Ngāti Awa businesses and employees.

The boat harbour and river revitalisation projects are expected to create 450 jobs, direct and indirect, over 10 years and for Kāinga to create another 150-200 jobs. More broadly, through job seeking and training support we hope to match our people to the many new training and job seeker support schemes the Crown has set up to respond to Covid-19, and also to see what we can deliver ourselves. This is part of our wider workforce development plan that links in with Korehāhā Whakahau, our tourism reset, and other projects.

TE RŪNANGA O NGĀTI AWA | 2020 ANNUAL REPORT

We are proud to continue to support and encourage independent rangatahi leadership. Their priorities from a hui they held to look at the impact of Covid-19 were tino rangatiratanga, strengthening cultural, spiritual and economic resilience and self-reliance, deepening knowledge of Ngāti Awatanga and being in control of their own destiny. Underpinning rangatahi Leadership is succession planning, soundly focused on perpetuating our culture, language and identity as Ngāti Awa, and mātauranga ā hapū ā Iwi. We will continue this important work alongside rangatahi in the New Year.

Also of note this year was our continued opposition to Creswell NZ Limited’s plan to extract 1.1 billion litres of water per year from the Otakiri aquifer in the Awaiti Canal groundwater catchment for water bottling. After our unsuccessful Environment Court appeal, we lodged a High Court appeal.

The hearing was in July this year. Creswell is a subsidiary of Chinese soft drinks giant Nongfu Spring. If it is given the green light the plant will fill 1,800 single use plastic bottles per minute with water. Nongfu Spring sell around 15 billion bottles of water a year. Discarded bottles from Nongfu Spring brands are routinely found polluting oceans and shores around the globe.

There needs to be a complete national policy review that addresses these issues associated with water bottling. The employment programmes we are implementing, based on our values of kaitiakitanga and manaakitanga offer alternative work pathways, and we intend for these to become the jobs we create and promote in the future.

The financial performance of the Runanga Group for the year was a surplus of $2.7M. The commercial group’s performance is discussed in the Ngāti Awa Group Holdings Chair’s report that follows.

We reflect that it is now 15 years since our settlement with the Crown, and with time passing, the broader community and younger generations may be less aware of the history and of the terms of the settlement. In short, using the pretext of a localised conflict in which three people were killed, in 1865 the colonial Government declared martial law in our rohe and subsequently confiscated over 100,000 hectares – the vast majority – of our tribal lands as ‘punishment.’ Many other losses came on the back of this: of people, of mana, of language, of heritage. The cumulative impacts were devastating and intergenerational.

One hundred and forty years later, in 2005, we were finally able to negotiate a lasting settlement with the Crown. It consisted of cash and assets, including some of the confiscated land that was still in Crown ownership. Like all settlements, it represented only a small proportion of what was lost, but it was imperative for us to move forward. The Rūnanga was reconstituted to manage the settlement and we began the long rebuilding journey – cultural, spiritual and economic – of the lives of our over 20,000 members.

(For those interested in more, visit Ngāti Awa’s story online at Te Tai, Treaty Settlement Stories).

Today, we continue to strive for a future that rights the wrongs of the past, empowers us to live as Ngāti Awa with our taonga, with our culture, language and identity, and forging a future of equality for the next generations. With us, recovery and growth for Whakatāne is richer, and deeper and longer term.

Where we don’t have resources we have partnered with others, such as Korehāhā Whakahau which was developed with a small team of experts who have shown great commitment to Ngāti Awa, our aspirations and our values. These are the kind of partnerships we are seeking.

I extend my thanks to the Governors and staff for their incredible hard work, dedication and loyalty during what has been the most challenging year we have faced. I also want to sincerely thank the many Ngāti Awa people who volunteered and gave their time and support to the Iwi particularly in the aftermath of the eruption and during levels 2, 3 and 4 of the Covid-19 response.

Finally, I offer our gratitude to the Ngāti Awa organisations, Te Tohu o Te Ora o Ngāti Awa and Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi for their partnership and commitment during exceptional times and circumstances.

Naaku noa, naa

Te Kāhui Kaumātua ō Ngāti Awa

Whaikupu Tena koutou Ngāti Awa ki uta, Ngāti Awa ki tai.

Me huri tātau ki a koutou, te hunga mate, ngā mate i hinga i te puia o Whakaari, ngā mate i ngā pito katoa o tō tātau motu, o tō tātau ao, haere ki te wehenga ki tawhiti, haere i tua o ngā ihoiho o Paepae Aotea, haere, whakangaro atu.

Ki a tātau te hunga ora, tēnā rā katoa, tēnā rā tātau katoa.

He matahuhua te manaakitanga i te ao e tino tere hurihuri nei.

Nō reira, me rangatira tātou katoa, me whakariterite tātou me te mea nui rawa atu: me whakaatu e tātou te manaakitanga.

Ko tētahi mata anō ko te tirotiro i ō tātou kuia, koroua hoki me te hunga e aroha nuitia ana e tātou: me whakaaro nui mō ētahi atu.

Ahakoa i pā mai te Mate Korona i waenganui i te hapori he nui tonu ngā kaupapa i tautokongia e te Kāhui Kaumatua o Ngāti Awa i te 2019-2020, me ki anei ētahi e whai ake nei: • Ngā hui a ngā Kāhui Kaumatua; • Ngā hui a Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa • Auahatanga Wānanga a te iwi; • Karanga Wananga a te iwi; • Reo Wānanga a iwi; • Whakawhitiwhiti Kōrero Wānanga a te iwi; • Ngā Whakawā a Te Kooti Rangatahi; • Ngā pōhiri i Te Mānuka Tūtahi; • Ngā tangihanga i waenganui a tātau; • Ngā hui a hapū; • Te Toki Kapa Haka o Ngāti Awa; • Te Whakamaumahara a Tiriti o Waitangi;

Ko tētahi wāhanga o te whakariterite mō te anamata ko te titiro whakamuri kia mau i a tātou ngā āhuatanga o mua.

I te wā i pā mai te mate urutā ki Aotearoa, manomano ngā tāngata i hinga. I tipihaurarotia ngā hapori Māori.

Hei tā te Pirimia nei: me whakakaha tātou kia kaua e heipū mai anō aua āhuatanga ki a tātou.

Kaua tātau katoa e wareware, mā te tokomaha, ka kā te ahi o Ngāti Awa.

Ngāti Awa Education Scholarship Recipients

K)HayeAbEaa!Q=V"g)a During the nineteenth century my tūpuna Te Kahu Hawea and Hariata Te Houpepe (sister to Wi Patene Tarahanga) lived around the area of Te Houhi, located within the Waiohau block, situated by the lands of Matahina. Te Kahu was the eldest brother to Penitito Hawea who both alongside our other koroua, Te Kakara had an invested interest in the taonga tuku iho, Pūtauaki.

My primary hāpu is Ngā Maihi who are an ancient tribe of the days of gone and my marae is Tu Teao. This is all that I have known since I was an infant until more recently during my doctoral journey that started four years ago at a Māori land meeting at Hawai. The Waikato line trace their genealogy from Te Kahu and Hariata who had a daughter Puau. Puau in turn had a son, Nane Waikato with Waikato Tarewa. Nane Waikato and Putiputi Watarawi had a son called Tom Waikato. Tom Waikato and Hazel Wanikau had the Waikato family who connect to many hapū of Ngāti Awa through toto, and whakapapa. I am the daughter of Mei Waikato and Terry Abraham.

I have dedicated my life to transforming education outcomes for Māori in mainstream schooling across the primary, secondary and the tertiary sector.

I am the first on both sides of my family, to embark on the doctoral journey which has allowed me to re(connect) and strengthen my ancestral connections to the whenua, the environment and to my people. Over many decades, I have been supported by whānau, hapū and iwi through a range of Māori education grants and scholarships. Without this support, it would not have

been possible for me to complete my doctoral journey. I owe a lot of gratitude to my nannies who are no longer here and to Uncle Charlie Blue, for their time in caring for us as young children when we visited Te Teko from Wellington and Wairoa.

Nanny Mei and Uncle Charlie always had a yummy feed when we visited in the holidays. I am also very grateful to Koro Waaka Vercoe, Koro Joe Mason, Koro Dennis Vercoe, Uncle Alf and Koro Rangi Paul for their awhi, generous time and support over the years and especially to Ngā Maihi for letting me come and share my korero three years ago. I hope that in the future, we can together normalise educational success for tamariki Māori, and nurture a safe environment that enables all tamariki to succeed as Māori, across successive generations. I envisage continuing on the legacy set by our ancestors to remember your turangawaewae and hold onto our whānau and hapū histories that bind our kinship ties to each other.

Nō reira tatau ma, ānei te ara taumata, anei te awhero, kei a mātau te toki, nō reira mā tatau katoa tēnei huarahi e hanga.

My story begins far before my conception. It is the culmination of noble lineages that stretch back to Hawaiki. These lineages through to our ancestor Awanuiārangi cultivated the lands and brought with them the kumara that would nourish us and the whakapapa that would interconnect us all. In 1996 I was born in Whakatāne and took my place within this continuum of knowledge. Te Kohanga o Te Timatanga Hou and Te Kura o Te Paroa, along with the purakau spoken of by whānau would provide my foundation within this world.

It was when I reached primary schooling at Te Kura o te Paroa that I grew to appreciate the polarization in equity that existed within Aotearoa. It was there that I saw the contrast between the health outcomes of our whanau to that of Pakeha. Here I would begin to fathom the words of Sir Apiranga Ngata.

That I would have to strive to attain both the knowledge of our ancestors and the knowledge of Western medicine to succeed as a contemporary Maori within both these contrasting worlds. So throughout my schooling, I decided to remain in kura kaupapa and would go on to develop skills in Manu korero, kapa haka, waka ama and additionally continue to develop my reo.

In 2015 I enrolled into the University of Otago intending to become a medical doctor. Since then I have qualified with a Bachelor of Science (Maj. Anatomy Min. Maori Studies) and am now in my third year of medical studies. While pursuing my undergraduate degree I choose to minor in Māori studies.

Under Dr Paerau Warbrick who is also from Ngāti Awa I gained an extensive understanding of the Waitangi Tribunal in regards to the Ngāti Awa Raupatu claim. Gaining an understanding of the legislation and appalling actions that lead to the marginalisation of Ngāti Awa became another powerful motivator for me during studies.

Recently, I have seen through placements the efficacy of multidisciplinary health centres that incorporate many different health professions in one location. Centres such as this have been established

by Ngai Tahu and the Southern DHB to provide a one-stop-shop for the health care needs of whanau. These centres through their increased accessibility and iwi involvement have been able to provide whanau with specialist care for a range of holistic health needs. I strongly believe this by Māori for Māori approach will be the way forward for Ngāti Awa and I wish to one day open such a centre in Whakatāne. I believe that a centre staffed by Ngāti Awa looking after the health needs of Ngāti Awa is the way forward.

Moreover, I am sure that with the support of Te Runanga o Ngāti Awa and Ngāti Awa whanui that we can accomplish this for all of our people.

Such a centre is, however, a future prospect for me, nonetheless, it remains a key motivator for me during my final years of study here at Otago.

Ko Ngāti Hokopu te hapū Ko Te Hokowhitu a Tu te marae K)BEaqde"aeP Q)EBeQ=V"g)a Kia ora koutou, I grew up identifying as Māori. Both of my parents are Māori, but I only ever knew my whakapapa on my father’s side.

I think that it is quite common in today’s times for Māori to be disconnected from all or parts of their heritage. Whether this is due to the lasting impact of colonisation, or whether you have simply moved away and lost contact, I believe that it is never too late to learn and understand your identity. The key ingredient is a willingness to learn and to take the first step in seeking information about yourself.

I first learnt of my connection to Ngāti Awa about two years ago when I contacted my mother’s aunty. She taught me that I whakapapa to Ngāti Awa through my mother’s father. Aunty has supported me in my journey to connect with my Ngāti Awa side by providing me with information about my hapū, my marae and my iwi. I am grateful for her assistance and I continue to communicate with her as I unpack and explore my whakapapa. I have much to learn about my Ngāti Awa connection and I am committed to doing so.

Even though I am only just learning my whakapapa, I am proud to identify as a person of Ngāti Awa descent.

I am currently a student at Te Whare Wānanga o Waikato studying a law degree. I am in the fourth year of my Bachelor of Laws with Honours and I plan to graduate in 2021 upon the completion of my legal research. I am also a Māori Student Mentor for junior law student’s, and I have recently been 20

appointed as a Research Assistant on a project looking into the law around the sale and production of Mānuka Honey in New Zealand. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at university. I have met some amazing people and I have gained some great opportunities along the way.

I have an interest in the criminal law and I am actively seeking opportunities to pursue a career within that space. There is a pressing need to strive for reform of the criminal system and Māori need to be driving that change. I hope to be part of such conversations in the future as we strive for a rehabilitative legal system rather than one which is solely punitive.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Ngāti Awa for supporting me in my studies. This scholarship will assist me with the cost of stationery and tuition fees for the remainder of my papers. I am very grateful for this support.

Nō reira, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā tātau katoa.

Law Scholarship Bachelor of Laws with Honours

My name is Haisley Bell and I was born and raised in Whakatāne. I attended Whakatāne High School and I learnt the majority of my culture through te aka matua during this time.

Ko Pūtauaki te Maunga

I am now two years through my Bachelor of Commerce degree at the University of Auckland. I am heavily involved with Tuākana which is the University’s academic and community support programme for Maori and Pasifika students. I am a Tuākana tutor for Commercial law 101 and have been able to help assist other Maori and Pacific students through their studies whilst in this role.

Ko Ngāti Wharepaia te hapū

When I first came to University, I really struggled with the weight of my past, as I had never achieved what I wanted to in my life. I used to make a lot of excuses for why I couldn’t succeed at high school, and I was told by many of my teachers that I was wasting my potential. At the time, I was too naive to realise that these people were just trying to help me. They saw a potential in me that I couldn’t, and it took me two and a half years away from study to

Ko Ōhinemataroa te Awa Ko Mataatua te Waka Ko Ngāti Awa te Iwi Ko Te Hokowhitu a Tū te Marae realise that those teachers were right. I wanted to prove that I had more to offer the world and most importantly, more to offer my family. I feel a deep obligation towards helping my family and making sure that in the future, I have the knowledge and the financial backing to help them in any way I can.

It is for this reason that I decided to study a Bachelor of Commerce, as I wanted the knowledge to control my financial future and also to help others that are in a similar position to me. As I continue to learn and develop my own knowledge and understanding of finance and economics, I hope to one day extend this knowledge to my iwi and help make knowledge on financial literacy more accessible to Māori and Pasifika. Whilst studying I was a part of the Tuputoa internship programme and something that has stuck with me since being a part of this programme, is the idea of tupu. Tupu is about flourishing, thriving and growing into who you were meant to be given the best conditions. This has stuck with me as I believe that many people can miss out on so much in life due to circumstances beyond their control. I know this is the reality for many young Maori, and I want to help change this for the better. Long-term, I hope to help create opportunities for young Maori like myself and allow them to pursue their dreams that would otherwise be out of reach, given the circumstances.

Commerce Scholarship, Bachelor of Commerce Major in Economics and Finance This triggered my motivation to one day be qualified as a clinical psychologist as it provided an opportunity to enhance the health and well-being of our people.

Ko Pūtauaki te Maunga Ko Oriini te Awa Ko Hikakino te Hapū, Ko Ngāti Awa te Iwi Ko Mataatua te Waka

I am a proud descendant of Ngāti Awa currently studying towards a Master of Social Sciences at the University of Waikato. I was raised in Whakatāne, completing my secondary school education at Trident High School. I began my tertiary education journey at the University of Waikato where I recently completed a Bachelor of Social Sciences with First Class Honours in Psychology. I am now completing a Master of Social Sciences in Psychology in pursuit of one day becoming registered as a clinical psychologist. My educational journey to date has been influenced by my whanau and iwi / hapū connections.

At the conclusion of my studies, my long-term goal is to contribute to my iwi by supporting whanau through the many obstacles that stem from mental health. I also endeavour to encourage more of our rangatahi to pursue excellence within academia by showing whanau that it is possible to achieve at post graduate level. Improving the mental and emotional well-being of our people, iwi and hapū will be my way of thanking Ngāti Awa for their continuous support throughout my academic journey.

When I started my journey within the world of psychology, the devastating impact mental health had upon an individual, especially for Māori, became evident. Many of the classes I completed expressed a need for more Māori clinical psychologists as Māori were overrepresented in many health statistics.

Customary Fisheries Report

ŌHIWA MUSSEL RESTORATION THROUGH MĀTAURANGA MĀORI The Awhi Mai Awhi Atu project, led by Dr Kura Paul-Burke, is once again using mātauranga Māori (knowledge) to progress the restoration of the Ōhiwa Harbour mussels or kuku. During the previous Mussel Restoration Trial 2018 to 2020 the researchers, in collaboration with local hapū, had already successfully experimented with cages made from pirita (supple jack) and mānuka to protect mussels from seastars. Spat lines that were installed to catch mussel spat were very successful. Usually these mussel spat lines are predominantly made of plastic. At Ōhiwa, however, the practicality of using natural fibre lines to help restore kuku/mussel beds is currently being investigated.

At a wānanga in August, renowned expert weaver Roka Ngarimu-Cameron from Hawai and her students engaged in weaving lines from natural fibres.

Lines from harakeke (flax), tī kouka (cabbage tree) and kiekie were already woven and deployed into the harbour last year. The trial showed that tī kouka lasted the longest, up to 5 months. No less than 2,000 kuku were counted per line, that’s about 50kg! This year’s lines are thicker and bushier to hopefully attach even more kuku. Different designs and compositions are used to see which lasts longest as well as turns out the highest yield. They have a core of pirita (supplejack) for strength with either tī kouka, pīngao (golden sand sedge) or neinei (Dracophyllum) woven around it.

The lines – with their kuku – eventually sink to the bottom and biodegrade, where the hope is that the kuku attach to the harbour floor as the foundation for a new bed. Kuku naturally grow together in clumps “as a whānau”, so the fact they fall together on the line is important.

In early September, the taura whiri kūtai (mussel spat lines) were installed in the harbour in line with maramataka, the lunar calendar, and biological spawning cycles of the wild Ōhiwa mussels. While there the research team discovered early signs of success – three earlystage kuku beds, all near the four restoration stations in the harbour where the first-generation lines were deployed this time last year.

It is estimated approximately 8 million tonnes of plastic end up in the ocean every year. Using tī kouka leaves that have naturally fallen off the trees and other natural fibres that eventually biodegrade into the water column reduces microplastic pollution in the harbour, in kaimoana and therefore in ourselves. It shows how mātauranga Māori knowledge and resources provide exciting opportunities for the wellbeing of both people and the environment.

A reminder comes from the Ministry of Primary Industries (MPI) to stick to the limits this summer. There are significant penalties for gathering excess pipi. MPI has invested in new signage around the Ōhiwa Harbour that details all the important fishing rules including for pipi and set nets.

At the Ōhope and Ōhiwa boat ramps signs advise on the new recreational rules for rock lobster to correspond with a 60 percent cut in the commercial catch limit.

TE RŪNANGA O NGĀTI AWA | 2020 ANNUAL REPORT

ODC BEACH BYLAW Ōpōtiki District Council have recently reviewed their bylaws, including the Beach Bylaw. Vehicles continue to be prohibited from the Ōhiwa Harbour mudflats and are now also prohibited from the Ōhiwa Spit from the Ōhiwa Beach Holiday Park eastwards. Two wheeled motorbikes are now prohibited from all beaches.

The Council is asking people to report offenders (preferably with the vehicle number plate) either by phoning the council or by reporting via the Antenno app. This is free to download and allows you to make a real time report and to attach photos. Please make use of it! Appropriate signage will be installed soon. Dogs should also be on a leash around a number of signed dotterel nesting sites.

Better signage, bollards and a media blitz last summer appear to have made a significant difference to the number of vehicles on the Ōhope Spit.

Pataka Kai He aha te Pātaka kai?

Ko te Pātaka Kai he āwhina ki te marae i te wā he tangihanga ka tae atu ki te marae.

Initially the pātaka kai provision was fish only with meat being added a couple of years later.

Aotearoa Fisheries Limited (now Moana NZ) would send 2 x 10kgs boxes of fillets to the marae when the call went out. Obviously, this wasn’t the most proficient way of doing things but it was early days and we were finding our feet.

Today, three dedicated freezers at the runanga store 10kg boxes of fish fillets and 5kg packets of meat ready to ship out to the marae for tangihanga.

From the beginning in 2011 the pātaka system has provided over 11 tonnes of fish and meat to Ngāti Awa Tangihanga.

However, costs continue to be a mitigating factor in our pataka provision.

Through our commercial interests in Moana NZ we have access to processed fish that is filleted and packaged.

Our ACE and quota transaction dividend paid by Moana NZ reflect bottom line costs associated with pātaka fish that aren’t fully recognised but can be significant.

THE USE OF CUSTOMARY PERMITS TO PROVIDE PATAKA FISH. The use of Customary Permits to allow us to catch, land, store and distribute pataka fish is not new.

Taranaki iwi have been using this system for a number of years. Theirs is one example. There are others.

However, the task entails cooperation and collaboration from many quarters.

Ngāti Awa, along with some of our iwi partners have banded together to seek to progress the use of Customary Permits for Pataka kai provision.

This is a work in progress.

Both Rangatahi participated in deep sea water sampling at Moutohora, Whakaari and Te Paepae o Aotea.

Major Projects Tiakina a Papatuānuku – Build Ngāti Awa capacity and capability to exercise kaitiakitanga, work with partners to realise Ngāti Awa taiao aspirations, advocate for the protection of te taiao, and our cultural practices in te taiao are promoted and protected.

KOREHĀHĀ WHAKAHAU As kaitiaki we share a responsibility to ensure that our natural and ancestral taonga are managed in a manner that is not only sustainable but is in accord with ngā tikanga me ngā kawa o Ngāti Awa. Korehāhā Whakahau is a Ngāti Awa led possum eradication project that seeks to contribute to enhancing te taiao. It is the first iwi led project with Predator Free 2050.

The project seeks to build a workforce founded on kaitiakitanga. This project sets out a pathway to eradicate possums from a large portion of whenua within the rohe of Ngāti Awa. Approximately 4,700 ha of land surrounded by Whakatāne River, Ōhiwa Harbour and the sea.

The foundation of this project lies within the values, principles and beliefs of Ngāti Awa in relation to the taiao. These are the foundational pou that will guide the delivery and outcomes of the project.

The projects aims are: • Build capability, education and increase Ngāti Awa participation in the protection of te taiao • Provides employment for nga uri o Ngāti Awa

• Provide an opportunity to test new technologies, methods and to foster innovation • Build and foster relationships with the wider community • Collaborate with the community and landowners • Measure change to the health of the taiao using Ngāti Awa mātauranga The project will be delivered across a five -year period.

WHAKAPAPA WĀNANGA - JULY 2019 Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa are championing te reo at all their wānanga and the Whakapapa Wānanga was no exception. 37 People registered to learn about Ngāti Awa whakapapa. Recognised whakapapa exponents, provided participants with various whakapapa showing the main Ngāti Awa ancestors and their links to the 22 hapū ensuring that uri are cognisant with their unique Ngāti Awa identity.

KARANGA WĀNANGA - AUGUST 2019 Dr Agnes McFarland shares her matauranga explaining some of the nuances of karanga which help karanga vibrant and rich. Along with various kaikaranga in support; these wānanga are a continuation from last year. With the help of various kaikaranga matua wānanga such as these will continue to support those aspiring how to not only to execute karanga but also to compose. For some this was their first karanga wānanga.

NGĀTI AWA TE TOKI - OCTOBER 2019 With each Festival there are new people and more kapa haka entering to perform. Ngāti Awa Te Toki is a meaningful pathway to connect uri with their whānau, hapū and peers. Underpinning Ngāti Awa Te Toki is our cultural identity and connectivity which includes normalising te reo Māori and using te reo as the main medium of instruction. The organisers; Te Ahi Kā worked with Parakore to not only keep our festival cleaner but also to educate them people on how to recycle correctly. New to Ngāti Awa Te Toki the Tautohetohe Competition, show-cased some of our seasoned Ngāti Awa Māori language speakers.

THE ART OF TAUTOHETOHE WĀNANGA - SEPTEMBER 2019 This was the first time Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa has implemented this type of wānanga. The main intention of the wānanga was to support the pilot ‘tautohetohe’ that was to be held at Te Toki Kapa Haka in October 2019. However, these wānanga are also designed to help our people with their tu pakari or their confidence when speaking Māori, particularly on their tūrangawaewae.

Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa will be running another similar wānanga next year.

TREATY OF WAITANGI LECTURES - 16 JUNE 2020 Including our kura in our Treaty of Waitangi Commemorations is another path to ensuring future leaders are nurtured and developed so they have the confidence and ability to lead into the future. It is also a meaningful forum for Ngāti Awa to stand tall and celebrate their Ngāti Awatanga.

Professor Linda Smith gave a thought-provoking lecture on futurizing Ngāti Awa. The audience was also treated to rangatahi presentations by Head girl Te Waikamihi Lambert (photographed here) and Kate Gow. from Whakatāne High School who gave moving speeches about ‘true partnership’ racism and ‘protecting our future’.

TAIOHI/RANGATAHI: GROWING YOUNG NGĀTI AWA LEADERS: TAIOHI MOANA - DEC - JAN 2020 The aim of this programme was to grow young Ngāti Awa leaders in the marine environment and in turn support whānau, hapū, iwi and kaitiakitanga and the regeneration of our cultural and customary foodgathering practices.

All students learnt to identify and record various marine species within the Ngāti Awa rohe moana. There was a 100 % success rate for the completion of SSI international Freedive Certification. Two pakeke also completed the course. Two of the taiohi are going on to train as Marine Biologist. One of those taiohi has secured an internship with Bay of Plenty Regional Council starting in November 2020 doing among other things marine monitoring work.

PROMOTING TE REO MĀORI Regeneration and repatriation of Te Reo ō Ngāti Awa is at the forefront of our cultural strategy.

Ngāti Awa videographers ‘Aorewa Creative’ were commissioned to make a reo Māori promotion kiriata/ video featuring different hapū members at their various levels of reo competency in the video our people explain why learning te reo Māori is important to their development.

Some footage can be viewed on our website. Footage was compiled from one of our actual Creative Reo Wānanga which was held in Matata.

2020 for Tē Manuka Tūtahi Marae - Mataatua Wharenui has been a year of recovery, transition and reimagining the future. Catastrophic events and unprecedented economic uncertainty have been the catalyst for significant transformation leading into 2021.

Despite the odds, our resolve to respond appropriately was predetermined by the foresight of our ancestors, the foundation with which Mataatua Wharenui was built. Times of uncertainty is not a new concept to our tribe, and history tells us we are not easily phased.

Guided by the footsteps of our ancestors Mataatua Wharenui continues to be a thriving cultural icon of Ngāti Awa where traditional Ngāti Awa Reo, Tikanga, Kawa and Kōrero is perpetuated, and the future of Ngāti Awa cultural leaders are developed.

“Koia tēnei; ko te toroa noho au, E tangi ana ki tōna kainga, e mihi ana” “This is a fact; I live like the albatross, crying out to it’s nesting place, and greeting you (in sorrow).”

REIMAGINING...

With exciting opportunities on the horizon and our people at its core, a tribal tourism reset has been established. Tasked to deliver a cohesive and compelling Ngāti Awa Tourism brand architecture, it is a forward-thinking approach that encompasses the Army Hall Project, the rebrand of White Island Tours, the Mataatua Visitor Experience and other Ngāti Awa Tourism Assets.

The anticipation of the reset has determined the focus for Tē Manuka Tūtahi Marae over the past year. It is the driving force that has ensured Mataatua Wharenui is equipped and prepared to launch a new vision and strengthen further who we are.

OPERATIONAL REVIEWS...

As a result of the pandemic, the immediate pivot to operational objectives identified the need to operate collaboratively with Ngāti Awa Tourism Limited – previously White Island Tours. There is an undertaking to consolidate internal systems, processes and suppliers to reduce expenses and supercharge operational efficiency. Staff sharing means we can leverage key skills sets throughout the tourism entities. Centralising communications enables us to capture all enquires under one platform.

IT systems and hardware upgrades have increased staff interaction and professional capacity. A body of work to future proof tourism assests began with the installation of fibre connections. The implimentation of mapping processess ensured continuity and one source of truth throughout the operation .

CULTURAL EMPOWERMENT...

The establishment of a Tikanga and Kawa document for Tē Manuka Tūtahi Marae is underway. This ensures all activities reflect, promote and are consistent with Ngāti Awa tikanga and advance the strategic aspirations of Tē Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa. It is a means of cultural safety and source of knowledge that will empower the Pou Arataki team to conduct themselves according to clear guidelines.

This has seen the development and implementation of an intensive cultural training programme. A Karanga wananga for Pou Arataki Wahine was lead by Ngāti Awa Kai Karanga Tohunga Hana Te Pou. The marae was gifted specific Karanga for various kaupapa. Whai Korero wananga will be led by Te Kei Merito. Wananga outcomes and feedback will contribute to the finalisation of the Tikanga and Kawa document.

MARKET PROPOSITION...

A series of marketing opportunities enabled us to leverage campaigns throughout the year.

The pandemic impacts on the tourism industry highlighted the need to engage unique and reputable cultural tourism products, ready to service the domestic market. The Mataatua Wharenui industry proposition changed overnight and was thrust to the forefront of major regional and local tourism marketing campaigns.

Locally “The Road Less Travelled” was launched across social media, YouTube, Whakatāne.com, email marketing and a new brochure that was distributed to thousands of attendees at the Motorhome Show at Mystery Creek.

Tourism Bay of Plenty released a series of videos rolled out to key New Zealand markets enticing New Zealanders to discover the significant cultural stories and diverse landscapes of Te Moananui a Toi. Mataatua Wharenui is a major feature contribution.

Rugby NZ chose Whakatāne as their town of preference to launch their Bledisloe cup campaign. We were privileged to welcome and host the All Blacks over 3 days. This provided further exposure through high profile media outlets and opening of the All Blacks campaign for 2020 - 2021.

Opportunity for publicity was not limited to the domestic market. With borders closed and international markets severly impacted, Mataatua Wharenui had the rare opportunity to extend its reach to 40+ million listeners around the world.

Its inclusion in the BBC Radio Documentary called Finders Keepers follows Zambia – British presenter Kema Kay on a personal journey exploring how his own cultural heritage has been put on display in museums, and the ongoing debate about how that is changing.

An in-depth interview was conducted with Sir Hirini Mead, Judge Laine Harvey and Jeremy Gardiner who provided insight into the journey of “The House that came home”.

The series will be aired worldwide and will also be available across the BBC’s podcast platforms.

In summary we can say with absolute certainty, the original vision for Tē Manuka Tūtahi Marae remains steadfast regardless of the evolving cultural and economic landscapes.

Manakitanga of our manuhiri on a world stage is a reflection of this.

2020 continued to develop an aligned co-ordinated approach to the development of Ngāti Awa tourism assets that maximise opportunities for the promotion of Ngāti Awatanga and its people.

)jd C E OVEReIB)"Ie An online response package was provisioned that consisted of:

Working in partnerhsip with Te Tohu o Te Ora o Ngāti Awa, we were able to respond to the impacts of Covid-19 at a whānau level, supporting the distribution of kai and resources throughout the Iwi. We also interfaced regularly with government agencies to secure resources and support to enable us to support Ngāti Awa. Our operations at Alert Level 4 continued and was the ultimate test of our infrastructure with all staff across the group working from home. We were prepared for working from home weeks earlier thanks to a Business Continuity Plan and were able to meet and collaborate regularly online. Working in partnership with Te Tohu o Te Ora o Ngāti Awa to deliver a number of response packages during lockdown for our uri.

With the increase in online activity there was a responding increase in hacking worldwide, and we were no exception to this particular phenomenon. After a small number of security breaches during lockdown, cyber security measures across the group were tightened and implemented and have proved to be successful in staving off any further attacks.

• A COVID-19 page which would operate as an outreach to our uri, providing a single source of messaging from our Iwi organisations and official government sources.

• Hepikarere (Uplift the Iwi) which provided fresh daily content for 51 consecutive days and help alleviate stresses and boredom associated with the possibility of being confined to our homes for an indefinite amount of time, and ranged from purakau to raranga workshops, with the most popular content being Kaumatua interviews that were sourced from our archives, TVNZ and Nga Taonga.

• A Backyard Photography Competition was held that encouraged our uri to look at the spaces they were contained in and take photos of interesting things within these spaces. Over 70 entries were received with several entries being utilised in communications and media materials including this Annual Report.

• A Ngāti Awa Business page was put together during this competition and prize winners were encouraged to use prizes to purchase goods or services from Ngāti Awa Businesses.

STATS

Overall IT systems performed well, as part of our next steps we move from implementation to a future proofing stage to ensure IT infrastructure can withstand the rigors of the coming years and any challenges they may bring.

NgāQAkaQeT) WHAKATAETAE PAKEKE WINNERS 2019 Ngā Maihi Ngāti Hāmua Ngāi Taiwhakaea

Ko te kaupapa o Ngāti Awa te Toki e here nei i te tangata ki tōna tātai whakapapa, e here nei ki tōna marae, ki tōna iwi. Ko te reo e rere nei ko te reo o Ngāti Awa, ma te reo ka paihere nei i ngā uri whakaheke ki tōna ahikaa, hei whakamahana i tōna marae.

Ko Ngāti Awa te Toki he kaupapa e whakatairanga, e whakarangatira ī ngā puipuiaki, i ngā tongarērewa o Ngāti Awa nui tonu.

Over Labour Weekend 2019, Ngāti Awa whānui gathered at Te Hāweawea o Taiwhakaea (Whakatāne Rugby Park) to take the stage, to judge, or support whānau in the medium of kapahaka. Fourteen hapū performed in the Whakataetae Pakeke (adult competition section aged 15yr plus, where some hapū joined to make a combined kapa), and eight hapū performed in the Whakataetae Tamariki (tamariki competition section ages 0-14 years, again some hapū joining to make a combined kapa). Seventeen hapū took the stage in the Whakangāhau non-competitive section that is about participation so not judged, where mokopuna stood alongside their siblings, cousins, parents and kuia/koroua proudly singing hapū and iwi anthems. Over all the weekend was a great kaupapa for whānau, hapū and iwi to come together to relax, watch kapahaka, represent hapū by taking part on the stage, judging or volunteering. Te reo o Ngāti Awa and whakawhanaungatanga was flowing in abundance, and Te Ahi Kaa organising committee humbly acknowledge the stakeholders who support this event bi-annually with pūtea and mahi tautoko.

This year Tautohetohe (debating) was introduced, with an exhibition debate demonstrating Te Reo o Ngāti Awa with iwi participants volunteering to go head to head. The debate was all in Te Reo and the kaupapa was “Me whakaae kia ahauī ki ngā kaupapa Māori eg. Tangihanga”. Do you agree with taking selfies and going live at kaupapa Māori eg. tangihanga.

Della Simon, Te Hau Paeroa Hona and Lorraine Hale supported this kaupapa giving strong arguments such as connectivity for whānau who could not

Chairman’s Report NGĀTI AWA GROUP HOLDINGS LTD NGĀTI AWA ASSET HOLDINGS LTD

On behalf of the Board I present this report on the activities of Ngāti Awa Group Holdings Limited and Ngāti Awa Asset Holdings Limited (jointly referred to as the Group) in what can only be described as a very challenging year.

During the first five and a half months of the financial year’s activities the Group was on pace to achieve a record result across all of its business units. The last six months of the reporting period has proven to be the most demanding the Group has ever faced.

WHAKAARI ERUPTION

COVID-19

The eruption on 9 December 2019 has been traumatic and devasting for all, but most particularly the victims of this tragedy – the loss of many lives and the ongoing injuries suffered has been front of mind for Directors and staff.

Like almost all businesses the COVID outbreak impacted our operations.

In particular extra precautions had to be put in place to ensure continuation of our “essential” activities – horticulture and our ongoing farming enterprises. Other lines of business were significantly impacted.

Nō reira, moe mai rā, okioki mai e te hūnga kua riro ki tua o Paerau. Haere atu, e hoki ki o mātua, ki o tūpuna, me kī nei, kua oti kē te moko o aituā te tā ki runga i a koutou. Moe mai, moe mai, okioki mai.

We have been particularly concerned about the impact of the eruption and its aftermath on White Island Tours’ staff and as such, continue to provide access to counselling services and as much other support as possible.

At the time of writing both the WorkSafe investigation and the Coronial inquiry into the eruption are ongoing. The Directors and staff of White Island Tours Limited have and continue to provide their full co-operation with these inquiries.

The eruption has resulted in significant financial losses for White Island Tours Limited. Boat tours to Whakaari and Moutohorā/Whale Island wildlife sanctuary were suspended immediately following the eruption. Our newest vessel that was launched in April 2019, Te Puia Whakaari, needs extensive repairs and is still the subject of ongoing insurance negotiations.

42

TE RŪNANGA O NGĀTI AWA | 2020 ANNUAL REPORT

2020 FINANCIAL RESULTS Notwithstanding the two seminal challenges outlined immediately above the Group recorded net profit of $4.9m. We incurred extraordinary financial losses within our tourism activities, but gains made in our remaining business units has meant a total portfolio return on invested assets of 5% for the reporting period. Such a result is testament to, and underscores, the importance of having a diversified portfolio.

Within our primary sector portfolio the 2018 kiwifruit orchard purchase continues to provide very healthy returns. While dairy production and milksolid prices were stable this season, it is proving difficult to develop the economies of scale across the two dairy farms, Tumurau and Ngākauroa given the two units are quite some distance apart. Your Board is considering various options on how best to maximize returns from these operations. Our drystock unit at Ōhope (Ngāti Awa Farm) had good production but was hit by the suspension of meat processing during the COVID lockdown.

Returns on our managed funds portfolio proved resilient – when COVID hit there was circa a 30% fall in stock markets but they have since rebounded. At the time of writing the domestic and international stock markets had both out performed previous highs.

Fair value gains also contributed significantly to the Group result with revaluations on forest land and investment properties being undertaken during the financial year.

More detail on the Group results is provided in the CEO’s report.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In November, we were fortunate to be able to appoint Tracey Hook (Te Āti Haunui a Pāpārangi and Ngā Wairiki) as our new Chief Executive Officer.

She was previously Tumutahua, Executive Director Finance of Te Wānanga o Aotearoa, and before that acting CFO and Group Financial Controller at Tainui Group Holdings Limited. Tracey is also Chair of Ngā Wairiki Ngāti Apa Developments Limited.

Tracey has led a dedicated and committed staff through a most turbulent time and I and my fellow directors take this opportunity to record our sincere appreciation. Within a month of joining the Group, Tracey had to deal with the Whakaari eruption and did so with the very able support of our Whakaari White Island Tours General Manager, Patrick O’Sullivan. That leadership team’s response to the crisis, and the staff support provided, was and continues to be exemplary.

We also continued with the annual Associate Director cadetship programme that we launched successfully in 2017. Alecia Wright-Chand, Regan Studer and Wharehuia Dixon all made valuable contributions to our work, and we trust the experience will be of benefit to them in their future careers. They each have another year to serve.

Finally, I would like to thank Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa for placing their trust and faith in us again this year, and to my fellow Directors for their dedication and support in what has been an exceptionally challenging twelve months.

Chief Executive Report

It is my pleasure to present this report for the financial year ended 30 June 2020. The Whakaari eruption and COVID-19 events have proved very challenging and the immediate aftermath became our principal focus and constantly has been the case thereafter. We have held the victims of the Whakaari eruption in our hearts.

OPERATIONS Trips to Moutohorā were able to resume in late January and the White Island Rendezvous Motel also continued operating, albeit at much reduced levels.

While we were able keep everyone employed full-time until the end of January at that point, we had to undertake the first of two reviews. We reduced staff from 58 to 49, many of our casual summer staff finished up at that point.

With the start of the COVID lockdown, all tour activity had to cease. The motel was able to secure a short-term contract to provide temporary shelter to the homeless, and while the company now met the criteria for the Government’s wage subsidy scheme, by mid-year it became apparent the situation was unsustainable. The motel was able to re-open for a reduced domestic tourism market. We therefore proposed a second restructuring, and following staff consultation, staff numbers were again reduced. On 30 June 2020, White Island Tours staff numbers were down to 23. Despite this we were able to increase the ratio of employment of Ngāti Awa people, with 30% of our tour staff being iwi members at year end, up from 24% in the year to 30 June 2019 (FY2019).

The COVID pandemic also forced a review of our long-term visitor strategy.

We are planning on the assumption that the country’s borders might remain closed for at least another 12 months. Clearly, we need to develop new, long-term options, as tourism remains vital to both Ngāti Awa and the wider Whakatāne community. We are currently working with the Rūnanga through what a tourism reset to refresh and repurpose our current product offerings might look like as we plan for when the borders to open.

44

TE RŪNANGA O NGĀTI AWA | 2020 ANNUAL REPORT

FINANCIAL As mentioned in our Chair’s report, we were able to prove resilient through two major crises due to the diversification of assets invested in a range of sectors that performed well.

Revenue of $9.1m was down from $10.5m in FY2019 which was largely a function of tour revenue ceasing to Whakaari.

Net Profit of $4.9m increased from $2m in FY2019 and Total Comprehensive Income of $4.6m was up on FY2019’s result of $2.1m, both buoyed by forestry and investment property valuation increases but offset by eruption related costs.

Year-end Total Assets were $133.9m and Total Equity $97m, compared to $127.5m and $93.9m respectively in FY2019.

Dividend payments to Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa of $1.3m were maintained and were consistent with FY2019 dividend levels.

KEY DEVELOPMENTS

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Through Government support, NAGHL has been tasked with leading several projects that have been outlined in the Rūnanga Chief Executive report.

All of them are about much more than an economic future. They speak to the values of the iwi, and the obligations NAGHL must achieve in terms of employment and sustainability results as well.

I wish to thank the Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa board and CEO for the warm welcome and support that I have received during my first year at the helm. Appreciation also to my Chair and Directors for their unwavering support during these tough and challenging times.

An exciting development in progress is the planning currently underway to build an iconic structure at the site of the old Army Hall, on The Strand in Whakatāne. Demolition of the old building was the first step whilst saving the native timber for possible re-use. We will then consider design options with a view to construction in 2021. We intend the new building to celebrate and showcase Ngātiawatanga, hosting manuhiri, incorporating a range of retail, meeting and inviting spaces.

We were also successful in an application to the Provincial Growth Fund where we have been approved to receive a $3.5M grant to implement a project to protect waterways and improve our environmental footprint. The project will result in 72 kilometers of fencing and 22 hectares of planting along the waterways of our dairy and drystock farms. This will result in an estimated 30 full time jobs employed for a period of 12 months, whilst contributing to cleaner waterways for a better environmental future for our whenua.

We are also hoping to make progress this coming year in partnership with Police in developing a new precinct in Whakatāne to replace the existing facility. Initial discussions have so far been constructive, and we look forward to announcing progress on this as it comes to light.

The NAGHL staff have worked exceptionally hard through this year and I take this opportunity to thank them for this.

I would like to thank Peter Thomas for his services as the Group Accountant who left us during the year and welcome Matt Pavarno (Ngāti Porou) as our new Group Financial Controller.

Statement of accounting policies for the year ended 30 June 2020

1.1 Reporting entity Te Runanga o Ngāti Awa ("the Runanga") and its subsidiaries (together "the Group") manage the cultural, social, political and economic base of the Ngāti Awa iwi. The Runanga was incorporated under the Te Runanga o Ngāti Awa Act 1988, which was subject to the Maori Trust Board Act 1955.

Under Section 5 of Te Runanga o Ngāti Awa Act 2005, the Runanga ceased to be a Maori Trust Board from 25 March 2005, but continues as the same body as established by the Te Runanga o Ngāti Awa Act 1988.

The Runanga is domiciled in New Zealand. The address of the registered office is 10 Louvain Street, Whakatāne.

Summary of significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

2.1 Basis of preparation The Runanga is a registered charity under the Charities Act 2005 and its financial statements have been prepared in accordance with that Act, the Financial Reporting Act 2013 and as required by the Charter of Te Runanga o Ngāti Awa. The Runanga is a public benefit entity (PBE) for the purposes of financial reporting. A PBE is an entity whose primary objective is to provide goods or services for community or social benefit and where any equity has been provided with a view of supporting that primary objective rather than for a financial return to equity holders.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (NZ GAAP). The financial statements comply with the PBE Standards Reduced Disclosure Regime (PBE Standards RDR) as appropriate for Tier 2 not‑for‑profit public benefit entities, for which reduced disclosure regime concessions have been applied. The Runanga qualifies for Tier 2 as it has total expenses less than $30 million and does not have public accountability.

The presentation and functional currency of the Group and the Runanga is New Zealand Dollars (NZD). The measurement base applied is historical cost, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets and liabilities as identified in these accounting policies.

The Group consists of the Runanga and its subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures as listed in note 26.

Basis of Preparing Consolidated Financial Statements Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are those entities controlled, directly or indirectly, by the Runanga, that is, the Runanga has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from their activities. The Runanga's consolidated subsidiary companies generally have an accompanying shareholding of more than one

half of the voting rights. The Runanga's consolidated subsidiary trusts are where the Runanga appoints all the trustees of the trust and their activities are conducted on behalf of the Runanga. The results and financial position of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive revenue and expense and statement of financial position from the date control is gained up to the date control ceases.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements using the acquisition method. The consideration for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interest issued by the Runanga.

The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On an acquisition‑by‑acquisition basis, the Runanga recognises any non‑controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non‑controlling interest's proportionate share of the acquiree's net assets.

The surplus or deficit and each component of other comprehensive revenue and expense of subsidiaries are attributed to equity holders of the Runanga and to the non‑controlling interests. Losses which result in non‑controlling interests having a deficit balance are only attributed to non‑controlling interests if the non‑controlling interests have a binding obligation and are able to make an additional investment to cover the losses.

Associates

The Group recongnises the share of the net surplus of associates in the Statement of comprehensive revenue and expense. The investment held on the satement of financial position reflects the Group's share of net asssets of the associate.

Joint Venture Receivables

The joint ventures are established by a contractual agreement. The Runanga's share of the net surplus of the joint ventures is recognised in the statement of comprehensive revenue and expense. The investment held on the statement of financial position reflects the Runanga's share of net assets of the joint venture.

Transactions Eliminated on Consolidation

The effects of intra‑group transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

Adoption of accounting standards

The Group have adopted the following revisions to accounting standards during the financial year, which have had no impact on the values recorded in the financial statements: PBE IPSAS 35 PBE IPSAS 36

For the year ended 30 June 2020

2.2 Revenue

Exchange transactions are transactions which one entity receives assets or services, or has liabilities extinguished, and directly gives approximately equal value in exchange.

The Runanga enters into a number of exchange and non‑exchange transactions, and the specific accounting policies are set out below:

Interest income is recognised in surplus or deficit as the income accrues on an effective interest basis. Any fees and directly related transaction costs that are an integral part of earning interest income are recognised over the expected life of the investment, that is, these costs are recognised evenly in proportion to the investment amount outstanding over the period to maturity.

Rental Income

2.3 Expenses

Rental income is recognised in surplus or deficit on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.

Grant and Funding Income

Grants and funding income (from the Government or other parties) are non‑exchange transactions and are recognised in surplus or deficit when the Runanga becomes entitled to receive (or has received) the funds. The grants are recognised as revenue in surplus or deficit, except where conditions which require the grant to be used as specified or returned remain unfulfilled at balance date, in which case the related amount is recognised as a liability. In addition, a liability is recognised in respect of other return clauses (if any) where it is probable that payment will be required.

Farming Operations Income

Farming operations income includes dairy income and livestock sales. Income is recognised in surplus or deficit when the revenue associated with the transactions can be measured reliably. Revenues from the sale of goods are recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred, the Group retains neither involvement nor control over the goods sold, it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the Group and the costs incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Dividend Income

Dividend income is recognised in surplus or deficit on the date the Group's right to receive payment is established.

Other Income

Other income is recognised in surplus or deficit when the revenue associated with the transactions can be measured reliably for the rendering of goods and services. Revenue from the sale of goods are recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred, the Group retains neither involvement nor control over the goods sold, it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the Group and the costs incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Revenue for services provided under exchange transactions are recognised on a percentage of completion basis, as the services are provided.

Net Financing (Expense)/Income

Net financing income represents financing income less financing expenses. Financing income comprises interest income received on funds invested that are recognised in surplus or deficit. Financing expenses comprise interest paid on borrowings.

58

TE RŪNANGA O NGĀTI AWA | 2020 ANNUAL REPORT

Operating Leases

Operating lease payments where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the leased items are included in equal instalments over the term of the lease and expensed to surplus or deficit.

Lease incentives received are recognised over the term of the lease as an integral part of the total lease payments.

Grants and sponsorships

Grants and sponsorship costs are recognised as an expense in surplus or deficit (and as a liability) when the Runanga has a constructive or actual obligation to make the payment.

This is usually when the Runanga has entered into an agreement with, or otherwise notified the recipient of the agreed amount. The Runanga considers at each balance date whether it is probable that the recipient will be required to repay the grant or sponsorship under the terms and conditions of the agreement, in which case a receivable would be recognised and the grant expense reversed where this is recoverable.

2.4 Taxation

Maori Authority Tax Credits

The Group has Maori Authority status. Entities in the Group are tax exempt except for Ngāti Awa Asset Holdings Limited which has a tax liability of 17.5%. Taxes paid by Ngāti Awa Asset Holdings Limited generate Maori Authority Credits, which are tax credits available to pass onto its shareholder.

Te Runanga o Ngāti Awa recognises a tax receivable from the IRD for the Maori Authority Credits received from Ngāti Awa Asset Holdings Limited in the period in which the credits have been distributed.

Income Tax

Income tax is recognised in surplus or deficit as tax expense, except when it relates to items directly credited to equity, in which case it is recorded in equity, or where it arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, in which case it is included in the determination of goodwill.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on taxable income for the period, based on tax rates (and tax laws) which are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and including any adjustments for tax payable in previous periods. Current tax for current and prior periods is recognised as a liability (or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable).

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only to the extent that they relate to income taxes imposed by the same taxation authority and there is a legal right and intention to settle on a net basis and it is allowed under tax law.

TE RŪNANGA O NGĀTI AWA

N)QeIQ)QeF"a"caSQaQe!e"QI

For the year ended 30 June 2020

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised where the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the consolidated statement of financial position differs from its tax base, except for differences arising on: ‑ The initial recognition of goodwill ‑ The initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit, and ‑ Investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities where the Runanga is able to control the timing of the reversal of the difference and it is probable that the difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Recognition of deferred tax assets is restricted to those instances where it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the difference can be utilised.

2.5 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes deposits held at call with banks and other short term highly liquid investments with an original maturity of less than 3 months.

2.6 Trade and Other Receivables

Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost on an effective interest basis with any expected losses recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. Bad debts are written off during the year in which they are identified.

2.7 Biological assets and agricultural produce

(i) Livestock Livestock is carried at fair value where fair value is based on the market price of livestock of similar age and gender.

Gains and losses on changes in fair value are recognised in surplus or deficit. Livestock consists of sheep and cattle. (ii) Biological Assets Farm Woodlot

The Farm Woodlot asset represents standing trees at fair value less estimated point of sale costs. The farm woodlot asset is a consumable biological asset. Any movement in valuation is recognised in surplus or deficit.

2.8 Investments

Investments are carried at fair value unless they are not quoted in an active market and their fair value cannot be reliably measured. The fair value of such investments is reliably measurable where the variability in the range for a reasonable fair value estimate is not significant or probabilities of the various estimates within the range of fair values can be reasonably assessed and used in estimating fair value.

2.9 Investment property 2.10 Forestry Land Assets

Forestry land assets represent the land assets owned with long term licences to forestry companies. Forestry land assets are stated at fair value. Any movement in fair value is recognised in surplus or deficit.

2.11 Intangible assets Carbon credits

Intangible assets include carbon credits acquired by way of a Government grant and are recognised at fair value. Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation are credited to other comprehensive revenue and expense except to the extent they reverse a previous decrease recognised in surplus or deficit. Decreases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation are recognised in other comprehensive revenue and expense to the extent they reverse a previous increase, any further decrease will be recognised in surplus or deficit.

Fish quota

Fish quota shares received by way of settlement are recognised at their fair value at the date of settlement and subsequently carried at cost less impairment. Fish quota is issued into perpetuity and therefore has an indefinite life.

Given this, fish quota is not amortised, although it is tested annually for impairment.

Goodwill

Goodwill that arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries and other business combinations is presented within intangible assets.

Subsequent measurement

Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment.

Whakaari/White Island Landing License

The exclusive Whakaari/White Island landing license has a finite useful life and is initially recognised at fair value.

Subsequently it is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Amortisation

Amortisation is recognised in the surplus or deficit on a straight‑line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows: • Whakaari/White Island Landing License 18 years

2.12 Property, plant and equipment

All owned items of property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses with the exception of the Ngāti Awa Farm which is recorded at deemed cost. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits or service potential associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.

Cultural Assets

The cultural assets category includes carvings and flax tukutuku, these assets have been recorded at deemed cost.

Te Manuka Tutahi Marae is carried at an assigned value on receipt from the Crown plus capital improvements.

As cultural assets tend to have an indefinite life and are generally not of a depreciable nature, depreciation is not applicable.

2.13 Financial Assets Financial instruments

A financial instrument is recognised if the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets are derecognised if the Group's contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or if the Group transfers the financial asset to another party without retaining control or substantially all risk and rewards of the asset. Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are accounted for at trade date, i.e., the date that the Group commits itself to purchase or sell the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Group's obligations specified in the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled.

Financial instruments comprise trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, loans and borrowings, and trade and other payables.

Financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value plus transaction costs unless they are carried at fair value through profit or loss in which case the transaction costs are recognised in the profit or loss.

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives, and trading and available‑for‑sale securities) is based on quoted market prices at balance date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price; the appropriate quoted market price for financial liabilities is the current ask price.

The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification. The Group classifies financial assets into categories depending on their contractual cash flow characteristics and the Group’s business model for managing financial assets. The categories of financial assets are:

(i) Financial assets at amortised cost Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost.

Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in profit or loss and presented in other gains/(losses) together with foreign exchange gains and losses. Impairment losses are presented as a separate line item in the Statement of comprehensive revenue and expense. (ii) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVOCI. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognised in profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognised in other gains/(losses).

Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method.

Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in other gains/(losses) and impairment expenses are presented as a separate line item in the Statement of comprehensive revenue and expense. (iii) Financial assets at fair value through Profit or Loss (FVPL) Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at FVPL. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at FVPL is recognised in profit or loss and presented net within other gains/(losses) in the period in which it arises.

Financial Liabilities

The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings.

The Group classifies its financial liabilities as financial liabilities at amortised cost. The classification of financial liabilities is determined on initial recognition.

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value, and in the case of loans and borrowings, include directly attributable transaction costs. All financial liabilities of the Group are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognised in profit loss.

Impairment of receivables

The Group assesses, on a forward‑looking basis, the expected credit losses associated with its financial assets carried at amortised cost and FVOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

60

TE RŪNANGA O NGĀTI AWA | 2020 ANNUAL REPORT

TE RŪNANGA O NGĀTI AWA

N)QeIQ)QeF"a"caSQaQe!e"QI

For the year ended 30 June 2020

For trade receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by PBE IPSA 41, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.

The recoverable amount of the Group’s investments in receivables carried at amortised cost is calculated as the present value of estimated future cash flows. Impairment losses on an individual basis are determined by an evaluation of the exposures on an instrument by instrument basis. All individual instruments that are considered significant are subject to this approach.

2.14 Impairment of Non‑financial Assets

The carrying amounts of the Group's non‑financial assets are reviewed at each balance date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount or recoverable service amount (recoverable amount) of the asset is estimated. If the estimated recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the asset is written down to its estimated recoverable amount and an impairment loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive revenue and expense in surplus or deficit. The estimated recoverable amount of assets is the greater of their fair value less costs to sell and value in use.

For cash generating assets the estimated recoverable amount is determined by estimating future cash flows from the use and ultimate disposal of the asset and discounting these to their present value using a pre‑tax discount rate that reflects current market rates and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash flows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.

For non‑cash generating assets the estimated recoverable amount is determined by estimating the depreciated replacement cost of the asset. The depreciated replacement cost is measured as the reproduction or replacement cost of the asset, whichever is lower, less accumulated depreciation calculated on the basis of such cost, to reflect the already consumed or expired service potential of the asset.

An impairment loss on non‑financial assets which are carried at fair value is applied to the other comprehensive revenue and expense but only to the extent that prior year gains are available to offset the impairment loss. All other impairment losses are recognised in surplus or deficit.

2.15 Trade and Other Payables

Trade and other payables are measured initially at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.16 Term Loans

Term loans are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Term loans are subsequently stated at amortised cost. If the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer payment of a liability for at least twelve months after balance date, then the term loan will be classified as a current liability.

2.17 Employee Benefits

Salaries, Wages and Annual Leave

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non‑monetary benefits annual leave and expected to be settled within twelve months of reporting date, are recognised in other payables in respect of employees' services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

Long Service Leave

Long service leave benefits are accrued in other payables using the present value of net future cash flows.

2.18 Goods and services tax

These financial statements have been prepared on a basis exclusive of GST with the exception of trade receivables and trade payables that have been included on a GST inclusive basis.

2.19 Fair value estimation

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the statement of financial position date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is based on the current bid price.

The fair value of financial and non financial assets that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. The Group uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at balance date. Techniques include estimated discounted cash flows which are used to determine fair value for the financial instruments with no quoted market price.

2.20 Capital Risk Management

The Group manages net assets attributable to the shareholder participants as its capital. The Group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so it can continue to provide benefits for the Groups shareholders and beneficiaries and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. The Group does not have any externally imposed capital requirements.

2.21 Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. ‑ Notes 12 & 13, key assumptions underlying the valuation of investments not traded in an active market; ‑ Note 15, key assumptions underlying the investment property valuation; ‑ Note 17, key assumptions underlying the valuation of forestry land; ‑ Note 19, key assumptions underlying the impairment testing of goodwill.

Residential properties on Wairaka and Toroa Streets (except 9‑11 Toroa St) were independently valued as at 30 June 2017 by Boyes James McKay Limited. The valuation was based on market evidence of transactions for similar properties and direct comparison.

The 2017 valuers are independent registered valuers not related to the Group. All valuers hold recognised and relevant professional qualifications and have recent experience in the locations of the investment property they have valued.

For the 2020 financial statements management assessed the value of 9 ‑ 11 Toroa St in comparison to the other Toroa Street properties based on the average value per square metre.

The rent on Whakatāne, Ohope, and Apanui Schools were reviewed in April 2020 as per the respective rental agreements with the Ministry of Education. The initial valuations received by Ngāti Awa Properties and the Ministry of Education indicated a difference in the value of each of the three properties. As a consequence a subsequently negotiated mid‑point between the two valuations is adopted as the fair market value in these financial statements.

Management assessed the fair value of land using an assumed rental yield of 6% for those properties that are tenanted and concluded no change in valuation was required.

* Amortisation of $112k (2019: $112k) is included in depreciation and amortisation expense in the statement of comprehensive revenue and expense. (i) Fish Quota Fish quota is an intangible asset that provides annual catch entitlements for fish stock species. The quota is issued into perpetuity and has been classed as an indefinite life asset. The asset is not amortised, it is tested annually for impairment. The recoverable amount of the fish quota has been determined as the cash generating unit associated with the asset. Cash flows have been projected into perpetuity using a long term growth rate of inflation of 1.5% (2019: 1.5%) and discounted using the entity's post tax weighted average cost of capital of 6.0% (2019: 6.0%).

The carrying value of the fishing quota is $3.5 million (2019: $3.5 million).

Management does not expect that a reasonable change in key assumptions would result in a material reduction in the recoverable amount of the fish quota below its carrying amount.

Independent Auditor’s Report To the Members of Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa Report on the audit of the consolidated financial statements

Opinion In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa (the ’Rūnanga’) and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') on pages 52 to 76:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements which comprise:

—

The consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020;

i. Present fairly in all material respects the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2020 and its financial performance and cash flows for the year ended on that date; and

—

The consolidated statements of comprehensive revenue and expense, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended; and

—

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

ii. Comply with New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards.

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 Group in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 International Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (Including International Independence Standards) (New Zealand) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (‘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 consolidated financial statements section of our report.

Other than in our capacity as auditor we have no relationship with, or interests in, the Group.

Other information The Representatives, on behalf of the Group, are responsible for the other information included in the entity’s Annual Report. Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover any other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Use of this independent auditor’s report This independent auditor’s 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 independent auditor’s report, or any of the opinions we have formed.

Responsibilities of the Representatives for the consolidated financial statements The Representatives, on behalf of the Rūnanga, are responsible for:

—

The preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand (being New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards);

—

Implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of a consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements Our objective is:

—

To obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of these consolidated financial statements is located at the External Reporting Board (XRB) website at: http://www.xrb.govt.nz/standards-for-assurance-practitioners/auditors-responsibilities/audit-report-7/ This description forms part of our independent auditor’s report.
