Trustees Report
The Trustees of Sport Auckland (Trust) present this Financial Report, incorporating financial statements and the statement
of service performance of the Trust for the financial year ended 30 June 2023, and the independent auditor's report
thereon.
Statement of responsibility
The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance of adequate accounting records and the preparation and integrity of
the financial statements, service performance and related information.
The independent external auditors, RSM Hayes Audit, have audited the financial report and their report appears on page
58.
The Trustees are also responsible for the systems of internal control. These are designed to provide reasonable but
not absolute assurance as to the reliability of the financial report, and to adequately safeguard, verify and maintain
accountability for assets, and to prevent and detect material misstatements.
Appropriate systems of internal control have been employed to ensure that all transactions have been executed in
accordance with authority and correctly processed and accounted for in the financial records. The systems are implemented
and monitored by suitably trained personnel with an appropriate segregation of authority and duties. Nothing has come
to the attention of the Trustees to indicate that any material breakdown in the functioning of these controls, procedures
and systems has occurred during the year under review.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. Nothing has come to the attention of the Trustees to
indicate that the Trust will not remain a going concern in the foreseeable future.
In the opinion of the Trustees:
• The statement of comprehensive revenue and expense is drawn up so as to present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial performance of the Trust for the financial year ended 30 June 2023;
• The statement of financial position is drawn up so as to present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of the Trust as at 30 June 2023;
• The statement of cash flows is drawn up so as to present fairly, in all material respects, the cash flows of the Trust for
the financial year ended 30 June 2023;
• The statement of service performance is drawn up so as to present fairly, in all material respects, the service
performance of the Trust measured against suitable service performance criteria for the year ended 30 June 2023;
• There are reasonable grounds to believe that the Trust will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due.

DESCRIPTION OF SPORT AUCKLAND'S OUTCOMES
Sport Auckland is a registered charity – CC23631. We are an Auckland based organisation, established 4 March
1992. Our purpose is to inspire our communities to live healthy active lifestyles. Strategically, we achieve our
purpose by ensuring play, sport, active recreation, and wellness initiatives are delivered into our community,
specifically into our areas of need.
Sport Auckland has identified 3 strategic goals which are the focus of our work through to 30 June 2024. Our
annual Operational Plan and Budget are prepared by Sport Auckland’s management team, reviewed by the Audit
and Risk Committee, and adopted by the Board of Trustees. Business reporting is focused on progress against
these strategic goals, and Sport Auckland has chosen to report against these goals in this Statement of Service
Performance.

Our role within our community is to inspire young people to live healthy and active lifestyles. This is achieved
through ensuring our young people are having quality experiences in sport and recreation, particularly those
missing out. Our Young People team provides leadership, advice, and expertise to primary and secondary schools
within our clusters.
• Sport Auckland works with secondary schools in our geographical area; the school’s vision, culture and
demographics are central to the support Sport Auckland provides resulting in a tailored approach for each
school.
• From Sport New Zealand, “Tū Manawa Active Aotearoa provides funding for the delivery of activities for children
and young people. This fund has a particular focus on groups who are less active, including girls and young
women, disabled people and those living in higher deprivation communities.” Sport Auckland manages this
fund in Central and East Auckland. Applications are reviewed by two independent panels (under $10,000 and
over $10,000) and their funding recommendations are put forward for final approval by the Board of Trustees.
As stated in Note 16 of the Financial Statements, Sport Auckland acted as an agent for this fund. At year end
$397,847 (2022: $586,788) was held on trust. During the year, Sport Auckland approved distributions of
$1,019,310 (2022: $1,019,310) to network providers.
