Chairman’s message I became the Chairman in February 2015, having been a Director since December 2012. My previous background as Honorary Legal Adviser since 1996 has been of great assistance in giving me many insights into the organisation. The last few years have presented a considerable challenge to the Board in endeavouring to achieve an operational surplus which, if you put aside atypical transactions, has not been achieved in recent years. The structure of the organisation in order to give it an effective future is also a challenge. Because not achieving an operational surplus is unsustainable, the Board has given a general mandate to the CEO, Scott Johnston, and his senior management team to achieve this and on an ongoing and sustainable basis. Part of this process extends beyond narrow operational activities to a general transformation of the organisation and its culture. The process towards achieving an ongoing operational surplus is underway and many things have been done in 2015 which are part of the process for the future. I recognise that it will not be an easy process and many in the organisation will be affected by the necessary changes and, perhaps understandably for those who have been accustomed to things being done in a particular way for many years, not all of what will be required will be especially palatable. However, the Board and I as its Chairman do not flinch from what is required. The Board is pleased with the progress that has been made in 2015, as outlined in this annual report. The Board is keen to enhance the profile of the organisation including with volunteer programmes which would be styled, Commissioner’s Programmes. One of the many benefits that will flow from ongoing sustainability will be the expansion of the First Aid in Schools programme. This will provide an awareness of St John in the course of ordinary schooling and be part of our community profile and encouragement for prospective membership of St John. The touchstones in achieving this outcome are risk management and governance. In 2016 it is not
6
acceptable to confine these considerations to the narrow business aspects of the organisation; they must extend across the organisation as a whole. The very nature of the activities that we do necessarily presents a level of risk in relation to those members of the general public with whom we engage. I am pleased that the organisation strives to achieve the highest levels of clinical standards and practices in this respect and this must always be not only our objective but our attainment. This focus must apply to all aspects of the organisation if it is to be effective and maintain its reputation. As to governance, the Board has set in place with the CEO and senior management strategic objectives, the key aspects of which are clear strategy, accountability and reporting leading to an effectively directed and managed organisation. In relation to the Board itself, there continues to be close self-examination both of its performance and of the range of skills and experience that each of the Directors is able to bring to bear for the purposes of the overall direction of the organisation. In the course of 2015, Mr John Davies KStJ retired as Director and, on behalf of the Board, I wish to express my thanks to him for the work that he has done for the organisation over many years, not only as a Director but in many other capacities. I am pleased to note that he is continuing to make a contribution as a consultant on the Honours and Awards Committee which aids the understanding of that process and assists in achieving consistency in the giving of honours and awards on a principled basis. Ms Rhonda Dunn MStJ also retired during the course of the year (she now lives permanently in Melbourne) and on behalf of the Board I wish to express my thanks and appreciation for the work that she did as a Director (and previously as an Advisor) over a number of years. The Board has proceeded to identify replacement Directors, and since the end of the year, has been in a position to recommend to State Council (which confirmed the recommendations by circular resolution) for the Deputy Prior now to appoint Mr Ajoy Ghosh and Mr Sean McGuinness as Directors of the Company. Since 1989, the consolidated accounts have included the assets of St John Ambulance Australia (NSW Trust)
Limited which held assets as a bare trustee on behalf of the operating company, St John Ambulance Australia (NSW). A process was started several years ago to combine the two companies as there is no ongoing basis for incurring additional expense in maintaining a second company on a trustee basis and that process has now been concluded, apart from a note dealing with final administrative steps that will be in the 2016 accounts. The accounts for this year will be the last occasion for consolidated accounts and hereafter a single set of accounts will be able to be presented to members. On a formal note, the regulatory requirement that previously required a Director’s report to be included with the financial statements presented to members is no longer required. There is also a need to review the constitution because of the way in which the State Council is constructed as representation of various regions and groups as described in the constitution no longer reflects what is actually the case. Once the detailed consideration of that has concluded, a general meeting can be called to consider the changes that ought to be made to the constitution. This should be done so that the next election of State Councillors, which is due by the 2017 AGM, can take place on the basis of the amended constitution. I conclude this report with a reflection on the future. This holds many challenges for us. The nature of volunteering is changing as many of us are living in an increasingly busy and time-poor world. We all need to recognise the benefits of working together without focusing as to whether or not at particular points of time we are a volunteer or are remunerated. With these considerations in mind, we can work together to seek to achieve the objectives of St John NSW and make it a more widely known and more effective community organisation.

CEO’s message 2015 was my first full year at the helm of St John Ambulance NSW. I am still having a great time and enjoying working for an organisation that does so many good things for our community. The esteem that the public has for our organisation makes us very proud and gives us a great platform for the future. At the end of 2014 I joined St John Ambulance NSW knowing that the organisation was going through a difficult financial period in an era where regulation, compliance requirements, community expectations and market place conditions were all in a constant and rapid period of change. Some programmes had been initiated: actions around cost restraint had been put in place and were having an impact but there were still shortfalls in meeting various budgetary targets. Governance and risk management issues for all organisations were increasingly coming to the fore.

uture investment plans developed in line with the F strategic plan
ngoing waste elimination plans and management of O operating expenses implemented
roadening communications with staff and volunteers B post external survey
These processes are important for both the commercial and Event Health Services components of the organisation. It is important for the future of St John in NSW that all embrace these initiatives. In 2015 St John Ambulance achieved significant gains in our financial performance.
evenue growth over 2015 in all 3 pillars of our R business
upplies and services, training and event and health S services revenues all grew
he cost base of the organisation was reduced by T over $1million
Systematically the team at St John undertook a complete review of the organisation encompassing its business direction, structure and processes. This is ongoing as we gear St John NSW for the future by adapting to the changes occurring everyday around us and by looking for ways to accelerate our organisation’s response to those changes.
chievement of a net surplus and continued progress A to an operating surplus
Cash positive at year end
ey financial indicators around inventory, cash K receivables and debtors were greatly improved on prior years.
This process involved:
Importantly these improvements were all achieved from within the operating environment and not by utilisation of additional St John NSW assets held in cash or equities.
Development of a strategic plan and financial outlook
016 Budget built and approved within the agreed 2 directions of the strategic plan
Departmental operational plans developed and in place
Significant recruitment of staff with specific skill sets
randing review and revitalisation undertaken B in marketing
hased approach to business alignment and P restructuring implemented
I am pleased that through these improvements St John NSW has been able to grow its support of the community in many ways both inside NSW and beyond. In 2015 3,412 St John volunteers attended to 5,779 events and emergencies by contributing 319,700 hours of volunteer service to the community. Additionally St John NSW trained 73,956 students in first aid in 2015. Attendance at paid training programmes was 53,525 students.
During the year we recognised our volunteers at various events. Our Investiture Ceremony celebrates our members who are admitted and promoted into the Order of St John and the Annual Award Ceremony honours and awards our volunteers of St John, community and emergency services members for their commitment and/or actions in rendering first aid to those in need. We see the future for our organisation in the provision of not only First Aid Services but also in the area of First Response capability within the community. As community events get larger and more complex opportunity arises for our organisation to take a leadership role in ensuring the community has resilience and an ability to respond to emergency and critical situations of all kinds. Advances in technology plus our history in the provision of services through our Event Health Services organisation will enable St John NSW to hold a leadership position as preferred supplier and partner of the community. I look forward to 2016 as a period of commercial growth and organisational transformation for St John Ambulance NSW. We are setting the platform for sustainability in the future and an expansion of our engagement and provision of services for the community. Our brand is embodied by the values of Care, Commitment and Community. St John Ambulance NSW will continue to display these values in all of our interactions with the people of NSW and beyond.

Our 2015 highlights
Enhanced training delivery To improve the consistency of course delivery, the professional development of our trainers was a key area of focus. We implemented new policies and procedures, resulting in a fully compliant audit. Emphasis was placed on working with customers to design unique training programs, with practical, theoretical and tailored scenario-based learning. Our trainers also moved to the green volunteer uniform.
Increased event coverage
Extensive Event Health Services We supported several major events in 2015. For the Sydney Royal Easter Show, we provided 80 members who worked 14-hour shifts in five locations. Over 2 weeks, 1,100 members of the public were assisted. During the New Year’s Eve celebrations, our volunteers oversaw 1 million patrons around Sydney Harbour. Our largest deployment was for the City to Surf fun run, comprising 100 onsite members working closely with NSW Health.
Recognition as a trusted charity
Our event coverage grew from 3,352 events attended in 2014 to 5,779 in 2015, achieving 72% growth.
We were voted the sixth most trusted charity in 2015 by the AMR Charity Reputation Index.
Our volunteers contributed 319,700 hours of service to the community in attending these events.
St John has consistently been voted into the top ten over the past few years.

Remote reach for First Aid in Schools program To ensure no child misses out on the opportunity to develop lifesaving skills, we worked to extend the reach of our First Aid in Schools program. We delivered an online version for students in remote areas, and a session for a group of home-schooled children. We also tailored the content for high school students in the Learning Pathways programs, ensuring content is beneficial and age appropriate.
Outstanding student training By the end of 2015, we had broken our record for the number of students trained in the First Aid in Schools program in NSW, with 20,431 school children trained in first aid.
Guaranteeing our service In response to increased demand, we inducted a small team of 28 paid responders. This allows us to guarantee capacity and capability for event organisers, especially at major community events. We also restructured our 109 divisions in NSW, creating clear reporting levels and streamlined provisions of resources. Furthermore, we introduced a clinical procedure and review process to ensure standard protocols are followed when dealing with the public.
Supporting other not-for-profit groups We developed an automated external defibrillator (AED) package specifically for the not-for-profit market. This cost-effective package offers a complete training and AED solution.
13
What we do: Training Training individuals and advising workplaces on how to become first aid compliant is fundamental to the St John vision of empowering everyone to be first aid aware and capable. In many emergency situations, death or serious injury can be avoided by early first aid intervention.

Our Impact High-impact first aid for the ADF
Gifts that save lives
In response to a request from the Australian Defence Force (ADF), St John developed a unique and tailored first aid program - Bombs, Bullets and Blast - to equip defence personnel with the necessary skills to respond to high-impact accidents, in order to sustain life and reduce the impact of severe injuries.
In December 2015, the Commonwealth Bank of Australia partnered with St John to develop a small, high-quality first aid kit for each of their employees. “The kit was chosen as the corporate Christmas gift based on its practicality, low environmental production impact and as part of an initiative to support an Australian not-for-profit business” says Andrew Hall, EGM Corporate Affairs. Only weeks after having received a small personal kit, employee Elie Issa, a Newcastle Customer Service Representative, was able to use his gift to assist someone who had sustained cuts and abrasions to their arms and legs after collapsing from heat stroke.
The accredited course combined the skillset and competencies of the Provide First Aid course, whilst customising the scenarios to cover the potentially hazardous and high velocity risk environments faced by ADF personnel both in Australia and overseas. The course covered the management of gunshot wounds, trauma, patient assessments, bleeding, fractures and blast injuries as well as the importance of debriefing before and after an incident.

THE AUSTRALIAN DEFENCE FORCE RAN 2 ONSITE TRAINING SESSIONS, WITH A TOTAL OF 41 PARTICIPANTS IN 2015.
glad we were given a first aid “ Ikitwasas soa gift. I know how important they are and fortunately I had my kit with me in the car, which is why I was able to help that day. I quickly sterilised and covered the wounds, whilst I managed for shock and waited for the ambulance to arrive.
primary aim of the course is to provide personnel with a level of confidence and “ The competence so they are able to act quickly and effectively in an emergency. It also provides valuable refresher training for those personnel needing to update their skills. St John was chosen as they have members within their organisation that serve in the Reserves and understand the nature of our business.

Off-duty volunteer helps save a life in mid-air St John volunteer and Intensive Care Paramedic, Dominic Wong, was relaxing during a flight from Sydney to Hong Kong, when a passenger suffered a heart attack. Working alongside a doctor who was also on the aircraft, Dominic swiftly performed lifesaving actions, including inserting an intravenous drip. After talking with the crew and a medical advice company via satellite phone, Dominic advised that the person required additional emergency care. The plane diverted to Darwin, where local paramedics came on board to continue treatment.

10-year-old boy with first aid training saves brother Preston (10 years) and Jayden (5 years) were playing in their backyard pool when an extended period of silence alerted their father, Nathan, that something was wrong. Seeing his son at the bottom of the pool, Nathan said he went into a daze. However, 10-year-old Preston knew exactly what to do, having completed first aid training with St John only weeks before. “I just told him he had to do CPR. I wasn’t panicked; I knew what he had to do,” he said. The pair worked together to revive Jayden.

THE CROSS
EARLY ACHIEVEMENTS
WAR YEARS
The modern emblem is derived from the Cross of Calvary, worn by the medieval Knights of St John to distinguish themselves as supportive allies.
St John ran one of the first NSW ambulance services z, and was one of the earliest groups teaching the public first aid skills.
Operations were escalated – many members served, and those at home fundraised for the war effort and held record breaking numbers of first aid classes.

Note 2 - Basis of preparation (continued)
Note 3 - Significant accounting policies (continued)
Comparatives
Goods and services tax (GST)
Where required by Accounting Standards comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year. Where the group has retrospectively applied an accounting policy, made a retrospective restatement or reclassified items in its financial statements, an additional statement of financial position as at the beginning of the earliest comparative period will be disclosed.
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
Key estimates Impairment - general The group assesses impairment at the end of each reporting period by evaluation of conditions and events specific to the group that may be indicative of impairment triggers. Recoverable amounts of relevant assets are reassessed using value-in-use calculations which incorporate various key assumptions. Estimation of useful lives of assets The estimation of the useful lives of assets has been based on historical experience as well as manufacturers’ warranties (for plant and equipment) and turnover policies (for motor vehicles). In addition, the condition of the assets is assessed at least once per year and considered against the remaining useful life. Adjustments to useful lives are made when considered necessary.
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position. Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are presented as operating cash flows included in receipts from customers or payments to suppliers. Revenue recognition Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances and duties and taxes including goods and services tax (GST). Revenue is recognised for the major business activities as follows: Sale of goods Revenue arising from the sale of goods is recognised when all the following conditions have been satisfied: (a)
the group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;
(b)
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
(c)
it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity; and
Principles of Consolidation
(d)
the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the parent entity, being St John Ambulance Australia (NSW) and its controlled entity and together are referred to in this report as the group or economic entity. Control exists where the parent entity has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing the power to govern, the existence and effect of holdings of actual and potential voting rights are considered. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 21 to the financial statements.
Rendering of services
Note 3 - Significant accounting policies The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial report are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
All inter-group balances and transactions between entities in the group, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Where controlled entities have entered or left the group during the year, their operating results have been included from the date control was obtained or until the date control ceased.
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of the contract is determined as follows: (a) servicing fees included in the price of the products sold are recognised by reference to the proportion of the total cost of providing the servicing for the product sold, taking into account historical trends in the number of services actually provided on past goods sold; and (b) revenue from time and material contracts is recognised at the contractual rates as labour hours are delivered and direct expenses incurred.
There are no outside interests in the equity or results of the controlled entities.
Interest revenue
Income tax
Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.
St John Ambulance Australia (NSW) and its controlled entity are exempt institutions from income tax under Division 50 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997. The company has deductible gift recipient (DGR) status.
Donations and fundraising events The timing of the recognition of donations, grants and fundraising depends upon the point in time at which control of these monies is obtained. Control would normally occur upon the earlier of the receipt of the monies or notification that the monies have been secured.

Property, plant and equipment
Government grants
Recognition and measurement
Government grants are assistance by the government in the form of transfers of resources to the group in return for past or future compliance with certain conditions relating to the operating activities of the entity. Government grants include government assistance where there are no conditions specifically relating to the operating activities of the group other than requirement to operate in certain regions or industry sectors.
Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the group will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received. Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the group with no future related costs are recognised as income of the period in which it becomes receivable. Government grants relating to income are recognised as revenue when there is a reasonable expectation that the group will comply with the conditions attaching to the grant and when control of the contribution is obtained, which is normally on receipt of the money. Contributions in kind Contributions in kind are recognised as income when control of the item of property, plant and equipment contributed passes to the group at fair value at the date of the contribution. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position. Trade receivables For all sources of recurrent income, trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, less provision for doubtful debts. Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. A provision for impairment in relation to doubtful receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the entity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. The amount of the provision is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Inventories
Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation surplus relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings. Subsequent costs 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 associated with the item will flow to the group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred. Property Land and buildings are carried at cost, less depreciation on buildings and impairment losses. The carrying amount of land and buildings is reviewed annually by the Directors to ensure that it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from those assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the assets’ employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts. Furniture and equipment Furniture and equipment are measured on the cost basis. The carrying amount of furniture and equipment is reviewed annually by the Directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts. Depreciation The depreciable amount of all property, plant and equipment including buildings, but excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a straight line basis over the asset’s useful life to the entity commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. Inventories held for distribution are measured at cost adjusted, when applicable, for any loss of service potential.

Classification and subsequent measurement
The depreciation useful life used for each class of depreciable assets is:
Financial instruments are subsequently measured at either fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest rate method or cost. Fair value represents the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled between knowledgeable, willing parties. Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value. In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted.
Buildings Furniture and equipment
20 - 30 years 5 - 15 years
Motor vehicles
5 years
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Note 3 - Significant accounting policies (continued) Impairment of assets Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units). Impairment losses are reversed when there is an indication that the impairment loss may no longer exist and there has been a change in the estimate used to determine the recoverable amount. Leases
Amortised cost is calculated as: (i) the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition; (ii) less principal repayments; (iii) plus or minus the cumulative amortisation of the difference, if any, between the amount initially recognised and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method; and (iv) less any reduction for impairment. The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying value with a consequential recognition of an income or expense in profit or loss. Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise when the group provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of selling the receivable. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are included in receivables in the statement of financial position (Note 7).
Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.
Note 3 - Significant accounting policies (continued)
Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease term.
Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that the group’s management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity.
Financial instruments
Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the group becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets this is equivalent to the date that the group commits itself to either purchase or sell the asset.
Fair value estimation
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs except where the instrument is classified “at fair value through profit or loss” in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately.
62
Held-to-maturity investments
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. The group only holds financial instruments that are traded in an active market. The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded securities, and trading and available-for-sale securities) is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period.

Unexpended grants
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 group receives grant monies to fund projects either for contracted periods of time or for specific projects irrespective of the period of time required to complete these projects. It is the policy of the group to treat grant monies as revenue in advance in the statement of financial position where the entity is contractually obliged to provide the services in a subsequent financial period to when the grant is received or in the case of specific project grants where the project has not been completed.
The nominal value less estimated credit adjustments of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the group for similar financial instruments. Impairment At the end of each reporting period, the Directors assess whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether an impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Derecognition Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expire or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expire. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss. Intangible assets Software Software has a finite useful life and is carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Amortisation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of the software over its estimated useful life of between 3 and 10 years. Trade and other payables Trade and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period for goods and services received by the group during the reporting period, which remain unpaid. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amounts normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability. The carrying amount of trade and other payables is deemed to reflect fair value. Income received in advance Income, other than government contract income, that is received before the service to which the payment relates has been provided is recorded as a liability until such time as the service has been provided, at which time it is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
64
Employee benefits Short-term employee benefits Provision is made for the group’s obligation for short-term employee benefits. Short-term employee benefits are benefits (other than termination benefits) that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service, including wages, salaries and sick leave. Short-term employee benefits are measured at the (undiscounted) amounts expected to be paid when the obligation is settled. The company’s obligations for short-term employee benefits such as wages, salaries and sick leave are recognised as a part of current trade and other payables in the statement of financial position. Other long-term employee benefits The group classifies employees’ long service leave and annual leave entitlements as other long-term employee benefits as they are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service. Provision is made for the group’s obligation for other longterm employee benefits, which are measured at the present value of the expected future payments to be made to employees. Expected future payments incorporate anticipated future wage and salary levels, durations of service and employee departures, and are discounted at rates determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds that have maturity dates that approximate the terms of the obligations. Upon the remeasurement of obligations for other long-term employee benefits, the net change in the obligation is recognised in profit or loss classified under employee benefits expense. The company’s obligations for long-term employee benefits are presented as non-current liabilities in its statement of financial position, except where the company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period, in which case the obligations are presented as current liabilities. Retirement benefit obligations Superannuation contributions are made by the group to employee superannuation funds and are charged as expenses when incurred.

Report on the Financial Report
Independence
We have audited the accompanying financial report of St John Ambulance Australia (NSW) (the parent entity) and St John Ambulance Australia (NSW) and its controlled entity (the economic entity) which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2015, and the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies, other explanatory notes and the Directors’ Declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the parent entity and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.
In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Australian Charities and Notfor-profits Commission Act 2012 and any applicable code of professional conduct in relation to the audit.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report
Auditor’s Opinion In our opinion the financial report of St John Ambulance Australia (NSW) (the parent entity) and St John Ambulance Australia (NSW) and its controlled entity (the economic entity) is in accordance with the Australian Charities and Notfor-profits Commission Act 2012, including:
The Directors of the parent entity are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards - Reduced Disclosure Requirements (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission Act 2012. This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining internal controls relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
a) giving a true and fair view of the parent entity’s and group’s financial position as at 31 December 2015 and of their performance for the year ended on that date; and
Auditor’s Responsibility
In addition, our audit report has also been prepared for the members of the group in accordance with section 24(2) of the Charitable Fundraising Act 1991. Accordingly we have performed additional work beyond that which is performed in our capacity as auditors pursuant to the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission Act 2012. These additional procedures included obtaining an understanding of the internal control structure for fundraising appeal activities and examination, on a test basis, of evidence supporting compliance with the accounting and associated record keeping requirements for fundraising appeal activities pursuant to the Charitable Fundraising Act 1991 and Regulations.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

b) complying with Australian Accounting Standards - Reduced Disclosure Requirements and the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission Regulation 2013. Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
It should be noted that the accounting records and data relied upon for reporting on fundraising appeal activities are not continuously audited and do not necessarily reflect after the event accounting adjustments and the normal year end financial adjustments for such matters as accruals, prepayments, provisioning and valuations necessary for year end financial report preparation. The performance of our statutory audit included a review of internal controls for the purpose of determining the appropriate audit procedures to enable an opinion to be expressed on the financial report. This review is not a comprehensive review of all those systems or of the system taken as a whole and is not designed to uncover all weaknesses in those systems. The audit opinion expressed in this report pursuant to the Charitable Fundraising Act 1991 has been formed on t he above basis.
