NEW SOUTH WALES TREASURY CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

 

a) Basis of preparation (continued)
   
  AASB 9 Financial Instruments and its associated amending standards specify new recognition and measurement requirements for financial assets and financial liabilities within the scope of AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.
   
  Broadly, all of the amendments will require the Corporation to continue to measure financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss using current principles. Therefore when applied, all of these standards will impact only on the presentation of the financial statements and disclosures in the notes.
   
  The financial statements are prepared on the basis of a ‘for-profit’ entity as determined by the accounting standards.
   
  The financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting. Financial assets and financial liabilities are stated on a fair value basis of measurement. Plant and equipment is stated at the fair value of the consideration given at the time of acquisition. Employee benefits are recognised on a present value basis, as detailed in note 1(i). All other assets, liabilities and provisions are initially measured at historical cost and reported based on their recoverable or settlement amount.
   
  All amounts are shown in Australian dollars and are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars unless otherwise stated. Assets and liabilities are presented on the Balance sheets in order of liquidity.
   
  Accounting policies and the presentation adopted in these financial statements are consistent with the previous year. Comparative information has been reclassified, where necessary, to be consistent with the current year.
   
b) Principles of consolidation
   
  The financial statements of the consolidated entity include the accounts of the Corporation, being the parent entity, its wholly-owned subsidiary, TCorp Nominees Pty Limited, and the special purpose service entity, Treasury Corporation Division of the Government Service (‘TCorp Division’).
   
  TCorp Division is deemed to be a reporting entity, and a controlled entity of the Corporation, in accordance with New South Wales Treasury Circular TC 11/19 Financial Reporting and Annual Reporting Requirements Arising from Employment Arrangements. The effect of all transactions and balances between entities in the consolidated entity are eliminated in full. Information provided in the notes to these financial statements refers to the consolidated entity and the Corporation unless otherwise stated (refer notes 4, 9, 15 and 26), as there is no material difference between the results or financial position of the consolidated entity and the Corporation.
   
c) Tax equivalents
   
  The Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 and the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 exempt the Corporation and its controlled entities from liability for Commonwealth income tax. However, the Corporation is subject to tax equivalent payments to the New South Wales Government.
   
  The Corporation’s liability was determined to be an amount equal to 30% of the profit for the year to 30 June 2013 (2012: 30%).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

 

d) Financial assets and financial liabilities
   
  The Corporation has elected to designate all financial assets and financial liabilities as ‘fair value through profit or loss’, consistent with the provisions of accounting standard AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The eligibility criteria for this election have been satisfied as the Corporation manages its Balance sheet on a fair value basis. This is actively demonstrated through the measurement and reporting of risks, limits, valuations and performance, consistent with risk management policies approved by the Board. Derivative financial instruments are deemed to be ‘held for trading’ under AASB 139 and must be accounted as ‘fair value through profit or loss’. Therefore all financial assets, financial liabilities and derivative financial instruments are valued on a fair value basis as at balance date with resultant gains and losses from one valuation date to the next recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income.
   
  Where an active market exists, fair values are determined by reference to the specific market quoted prices/yields at the year end. If no active market exists, judgement is used to select the valuation technique which best estimates fair value by discounting the expected future cash flows arising from the securities to their present value using market yields and margins appropriate to the securities. These margins take into account credit quality and liquidity of the securities. Market yields used for valuing loans to clients are derived from yields for similar debt securities issued by the Corporation which are detailed in note 19.
   
  All financial assets, liabilities and derivatives are recognised on the Balance sheet at trade date being the date the Corporation becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
   
  Financial assets are de-recognised when the Corporation’s contractual rights to cash flows from the financial assets expire. Financial liabilities are de-recognised when the Corporation’s contractual obligations are extinguished.
   
  Securities sold under repurchase agreements are retained in the Securities Held classification on the Balance sheet (note 7). The Corporation’s obligation to buy back these securities is recognised as a liability and disclosed in Due to Financial Institutions (note 11).
   
  Transactions conducted on behalf of others are disclosed in Fiduciary Activities (note 24) and those transactions offset or contingent on future events are disclosed in Contingent Liabilities and Commitments (note 25).
   
e) Outstanding settlements
   
  Outstanding settlements receivable comprise the amounts due to the Corporation for transactions that have been recognised, but not yet settled, as at the balance date. Outstanding settlements payable comprise amounts payable by the Corporation for transactions that have been recognised, but not yet settled, as at the balance date.
   
f) Other assets and liabilities
   
  Other assets, including debtors, intangible assets, prepayments and deposits, and other liabilities, including creditors, expense accruals, and provisions, are all reported based on their recoverable or settlement amount.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

 

f) Other assets and liabilities (continued)
   
  Computer software is classified as an intangible asset and amortised on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset. Estimated useful lives are generally up to five years from the date the computer software is commissioned. The assets’ useful lives are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate at each balance date. Systems projects that are implemented in stages are recorded as work-in-progress within the computer software classification until they are commissioned and commence amortising.
   
g) Plant and equipment
   
  Plant and equipment comprising leasehold improvements, office furniture and equipment, computer hardware and motor vehicles are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment which approximates fair value. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of the item. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis, from the date the assets are commissioned, over their estimated useful lives as follows:
   
  Leasehold improvements (including the lease make good provision) over the term of the lease, which currently expires on 19 May 2018.
   
  Equipment and vehicles

 

  · Computer hardware - three years
     
  · Motor vehicles - five years
     
  · Furniture and fittings - over the term of the lease, which expires on 19 May 2018.

 

  The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period with the effects of any changes recognised on a prospective basis. Due to the nature of the assets an independent valuation is not required.
   
  The gain or loss arising on disposal or retirement of an item of plant or equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in the Statements of comprehensive income.
   
h) Impairment of assets
   
  Items of plant and equipment, intangible assets and receivables are assessed annually for any evidence of impairment. Where evidence of impairment is found, the carrying amount is reviewed and, if necessary, written down to the asset’s recoverable amount.
   
i) Employee benefits
   
  Provision for annual leave is recognised on the basis of statutory and contractual requirements and is measured at nominal values using the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement. The provision for long service leave represents the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to employees in respect of services provided by employees up to the year end, with consideration being given to expected future salary levels, previous experience of employee departures and periods of service.

j) Foreign currency transactions
   
  Foreign currency transactions are initially translated into Australian dollars at the rate of exchange at the date of the transaction. At year end, foreign currency monetary items are translated to Australian dollars at the spot exchange rate current at that date. Resulting exchange differences are recognised in the Statements of comprehensive income.
   
k) Cash and liquid assets
   
  Cash and liquid assets includes cash and liquid assets that are readily convertible to cash. For the purpose of the Cash flow statements, cash and cash equivalents includes cash and liquid assets net of outstanding short-term borrowings.
   
l) Leased assets
   
  Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense as incurred over the lease term. Lease incentives received are recognised in the Statements of comprehensive income as an integral part of the total lease expense (included in premises costs) and spread over the lease term.
   
m) Fiduciary activities
   
  The Corporation acts as agent and manager for various client asset and debt portfolios and as trustee and manager of the Hour-Glass Investment Trusts (refer note 24). The associated liabilities and assets are not recognised in the Balance sheet of the Corporation. Management fees earned by the Corporation in carrying out these activities are included in the Statement of comprehensive income on an accruals basis.
   
n) Set-off of assets and liabilities
   
  The Corporation from time to time may facilitate certain structured financing arrangements for clients. In such arrangements where a legally recognised right to set-off the assets and liabilities exists, and the Corporation intends to settle on a net basis, the assets and liabilities arising are set-off and the net amount is recognised in the Balance sheet.
   
o) Income recognition
   
  Income is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the entity and the revenue can be reliably measured. Specific types of income are recognised as follows:

 

  · Interest income
     
    Interest income includes accrued interest, discount and premium.
     
  · Fees and commissions
     
    Fees and commissions for services provided are recognised in the period in which the service is provided.

p) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
   
  Income, expenses and assets (other than receivables) are recognised net of GST. The amount of GST on expenses that is not recoverable from the taxation authority is recognised as a separate item of administration expense. The amount of GST on assets that is not recoverable is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition. Receivables and payables are recognised inclusive of GST.
   
q) Dividends
   
  The Corporation’s commitment to pay a dividend to the New South Wales Government is ratified in a Statement of Business Intent. Additionally, the basis for determination of the year’s dividend is recorded in a Board resolution prior to the end of the financial year.

14 Derivative financial instruments

 

A derivative financial instrument is a contract or agreement whose value depends on (or derives from) the value of (or changes in the value of) an underlying instrument, reference rate or index.

 

Derivative financial instruments include swaps, forward-dated client loans, futures, forward foreign exchange contracts and interest rate options. Forward dated loans are priced on a consistent basis

14 Derivative financial instruments (continued)

 

to other client loans. For all other derivative financial instruments the Corporation is not a price maker, but is a price taker in its use of derivatives.

 

Collateral may be obtained, or provided, by the Corporation when the market value of certain derivative transactions exceed thresholds agreed with the counterparty (note 20).

 

The policy of the Corporation is to account for derivative financial instruments on a fair value basis consistent with all other financial assets or liabilities as detailed in note 1(d). Accordingly, resultant profits and losses from one valuation date to the next are included in the Statement of comprehensive income as they arise.

16 Other disclosures concerning financial liabilities

 

Guarantee of the State

 

All financial liabilities of the Corporation are guaranteed by the New South Wales Government under Sections 22A and 22B of the Public Authorities (Financial Arrangements) Act 1987.

 

Guarantee of the Commonwealth

 

Certain benchmark bonds issued by the Corporation, identified in Borrowings (note 13) are guaranteed by the Commonwealth of Australia pursuant to the Australian Government Guarantee of State and Territory Borrowing Scheme dated 24 July 2009 (the “Scheme”). On 7 February 2010, the Commonwealth announced that the “Final Issuance Date” under the Scheme would be 31 December 2010. All Commonwealth Guaranteed benchmark bonds issued by the Corporation in existence as at the Final Issuance Date remain guaranteed by the Commonwealth, in accordance with the terms of the Scheme.

 

Financing arrangements

 

The Corporation is able to access readily both domestic and offshore capital markets to ensure an adequate funding base. This ready market access is due to the Corporation having the highest level of credit ratings available to any Australian borrower, which derives from the guarantee of the New South Wales Government and the guarantee of the Commonwealth.

 

In addition to the Corporation’s domestic benchmark, non-benchmark and promissory note issuances, the following offshore programmes are in place:

The programmes are not contractually binding on any provider of funds.

 

17 Fair value of financial assets and liabilities

 

All financial assets and liabilities are designated as fair value through profit or loss.

 

The Corporation’s loans and borrowings are guaranteed by the New South Wales State Government, and certain benchmark borrowings are guaranteed by the Commonwealth Government (note 13). As a result, credit risk is not a significant factor in the determination of the fair value. Changes in fair value are therefore mainly attributable to fluctuations in market yields and prices arising from changes in market conditions.

 

The Corporation has classified fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the subjectivity of inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

 

· Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1).
   
· Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices) (level 2).
   
· Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (level 3).

 

There were no significant transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy during the year.

 

The table below sets out the Corporation’s financial assets and liabilities (by class) measured at fair value according to the fair value hierarchy.

Financial instruments classified at level 3 in the hierarchy include Power Reverse Dual Currency Bonds (PRDC’s – callable notes – refer note 13) and associated cross currency swaps. PRDC’s are structured callable notes denominated in Japanese Yen and issued into the Japanese market. The cashflows on each bond are hedged by entering into a structured cross currency swap, callable on the same basis as the corresponding bond.

 

The Corporation forecasts the cashflows on each bond and swap using the original contractual terms, and where known, the Yen cashflows. The fair value of each bond and swap is calculated as the present value of the Australian dollar cashflows using the original issue margin. The Corporation is of the opinion that no secondary market exists for PRDC’s and there are no reasonably possible alternative assumptions that would significantly change the fair value.

Objectives and policies

 

The Corporation manages and monitors a variety of financial risks including Market Risk (interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk), Credit Risk and Liquidity Risk (refer notes 19, 20 & 21 respectively).

 

The boundaries within which these risks are undertaken and managed are established under Board policies, management guidelines and client defined mandates. The Corporation monitors compliance with Board policies and management and client constraints. This monitoring is appropriately segregated from the operating business units. Information is summarised daily and reported monthly to the Board.

 

All aspects of the treasury process are segregated between dealing, settlement, accounting and compliance. In addition, position limits, liquidity limits and counterparty credit limits have been established. These limits are monitored independently of the dealing and settlement functions, with utilisation of these limits summarised and reported to management on a daily basis.

18 Financial risk (continued)

 

The nature of the Corporation’s core business gives rise to maturity and repricing gaps within the Corporation’s Balance sheet which alter from day to day. The Board of the Corporation has identified the risks that arise from these gaps and has established Board policies to prudently limit these risks. In managing the risks in accordance with the Board limits, the Corporation utilises derivative financial instruments.

 

Derivatives are used to manage interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk for certain assets and liabilities within the Balance sheets. Derivatives are accounted on a fair value basis with resultant gains and losses recognised in the Statements of comprehensive income.

 

Equity

 

The New South Wales Government is not required under legislation to contribute equity to the Corporation. Retained earnings are held in lieu of contributed equity and provide a capital base commensurate with the risks inherent in the Corporation’s business.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

19 Market risk (continued)

 

The Corporation measures its exposure to interest rate risk in terms of cash flows or notional cash flows generated by financial instruments. These cash flows are discounted to present values at appropriate market yields and margins as described in note 1(d). Interest rate risk can be in the form of ‘fair value interest rate risk’, such as fixed interest rate instruments which change in value as interest rates move and ‘cash flow interest rate risk’, such as floating interest rate instruments that are reset as market rates change.

 

The Corporation uses a Value at Risk (VaR) model to measure the market risk exposures inherent in the Balance sheet. VaR is measured on a rolling 2-year historical simulation basis using a 99% confidence interval and a 10-day holding period.

 

VaR is calculated daily and represents an estimate of the loss that can be expected over a 10-day period, with a 1% probability that this amount may be exceeded.

 

The historical database comprises observations relevant to the major market risk exposures faced by the Corporation including bank bills, bank bill futures, bond futures, Commonwealth and semi-government bonds, Commonwealth government guaranteed floating rate notes, capital indexed bonds and interest rate swaps. The simulation process captures movements in outright interest rate levels, yield curve tilts and changes in the basis spread between various groups of securities. All historical observations are equally weighted.

 

As an estimate of market risk, VaR has certain limitations including:

 

a) Calculating VaR on an historical simulation basis implicitly assumes that returns in the future will have the same distribution as they had in the past. If this is not the case, VaR may overestimate or underestimate the actual losses experienced.
   
b) In rapidly changing markets, the model can be slow to react with the result that VaR at the confidence interval is exceeded more often than statistically expected.
   
c) The model quantifies the expected loss at the confidence interval. It does not however indicate the potential size of losses on days VaR is exceeded.

 

Given the Corporation’s Balance sheet positions at 30 June 2013, the maximum potential loss expected over a 10-day period is $14.1 million (2012: $8.2 million), with a 1% probability that this maximum may be exceeded. The average VaR over the year ended 30 June 2013 was $12.8 million (2012: $10.5 million).

 

Foreign exchange risk

 

The Corporation has policies and procedures in place to ensure that it has no material exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates. Foreign exchange risk arising from borrowings undertaken in foreign currencies through Promissory Notes (refer note 11) or Euro Medium Term Notes (refer note 13), to fund Australian dollar assets is covered by entering into Australian dollar cross currency swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts.

 

Forward foreign exchange contracts with clients are covered by corresponding forward foreign exchange contracts with market counterparties. In the majority of these arrangements, the clients indemnify the Corporation for any credit exposure arising from the corresponding transaction with the market counterparty.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

 

19 Market risk (continued)

 

Other price risk

 

The Corporation has no material exposure to other price risk in relation to interest rate options as transactions with clients are covered by corresponding interest rate options with market counterparties. The clients indemnify the Corporation for any credit exposure arising from the corresponding transaction with the market counterparty.

 

20 Credit risk

 

For all classes of financial assets, with the exceptions noted below, the maximum credit risk exposure is equal to the fair value already disclosed.

 

As loans and debtors from government clients are guaranteed by the New South Wales Government, no credit risk is deemed to arise.

 

Certain securities held by the Corporation are guaranteed by the Commonwealth of Australia (refer to note 16). These securities are separately identified by footnote.

 

Derivative financial instruments include swaps, forward dated loans, forward foreign exchange contracts, forward rate agreements, futures and options. The Corporation does not use credit derivatives, such as credit default swaps, to mitigate credit risks.

 

The market convention for the calculation of credit exposure for derivative financial instruments is to add to the market value an amount of potential exposure as determined by reference to the length of time to maturity and face value. The additional credit exposure is noted in the concentration of credit risks below.

 

For financial instruments where face value is greater than market value, the difference between the face value and the market value is disclosed to reflect the maximum potential credit exposure. The additional credit exposure is noted in the concentration of credit risks below.

 

The Corporation’s exposure to settlement risk is represented by the amount of outstanding settlements receivable shown on the Balance sheet. These amounts were settled within seven days after the balance date and are excluded from the concentration of credit risk below.

 

Collateral

 

At year end, the Corporation had transferred no securities (2012: $1,295.7 million) to counterparties under repurchase agreements. Securities transferred under repurchase agreements are secured by cash collateral. The terms and conditions of the repurchase agreements are governed by standard industry agreements, reflecting current Australian market practice. In the event of default, the Corporation is immediately entitled to offset the cash collateral against the amounts owed by the defaulting counterparty.

 

Due to retention of substantially all the risks and rewards of these securities, the Corporation continues to recognise the assets on the Balance sheet and the collateral received as liabilities. The counterparties have an obligation to return the securities to the Corporation and the Corporation has an obligation to buy back the securities on the dates agreed, usually for terms ranging up to thirty days.

 

The following table sets out the carrying amount of transferred financial assets and the related liabilities along with the net impact on credit risk at the reporting date.

22 Superannuation

 

Amounts representing prepaid superannuation contributions arising from defined benefit schemes are recognised as an asset and included in other assets (note 9). (2012: Unfunded superannuation contributions arising from defined benefit schemes are recognised as a liability and included in other liabilities and provisions (note 15)). Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income in the year they occur (note 4).

 

The funds below hold in trust the investments of the closed New South Wales public sector superannuation schemes:

 

· State Authorities Superannuation Scheme (SASS)
· State Superannuation Scheme (SSS)
· State Authorities Non-contributory Superannuation Scheme (SANCS)

 

These funds are all defined benefit schemes, where at least a component of the employee’s final benefit is derived from a multiple of member salary and years of membership. All schemes are closed to new members.

 

All fund assets are invested at arms length. Payments may be made to Pillar Administration to reduce the superannuation liability. These payments are held in investment reserve accounts by Pillar Administration.

 

Superannuation obligations are the responsibility of Treasury Corporation Division of the Government Service (note 26).

 

The 2013 actuarial assessment of SASS, SANCS and SSS was based on the requirements of Australian Accounting Standard AASB 119 Employee Benefits. This standard requires that a market determined risk-adjusted discount rate be applied as a valuation interest rate in the calculation of the value of accrued benefits. To satisfy the AASB 119 requirements, the following principal actuarial assumptions were applied at the report date.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

New South Wales Treasury Corporation and controlled entities

 

To Members of the New South Wales Parliament

 

I have audited the accompanying financial statements of New South Wales Treasury Corporation (TCorp), which comprise the statements of comprehensive income, the balance sheets as at 30 June 2013, the statements of changes in equity and the cash flow statements for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information of the TCorp and the consolidated entity. The consolidated entity comprises TCorp and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.

 

Opinion

 

In my opinion, the financial statements:

 

· give a true and fair view of the financial position of TCorp and the consolidated entity as at 30 June 2013, and of their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards
   
· are in accordance with section 41B of the Public Finance and Audit Act 1983 (the PF&A Act) and the Public Finance and Audit Regulation 2010
   
· comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 1a.

 

My opinion should be read in conjunction with the rest of this report.

 

The Board’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

 

The members of the Board are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the PF&A Act, and for such internal control as the members of the Board determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

In note 1a, the members of the Board also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’, that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.

 

Auditor’s Responsibility

 

My responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on my audit. I conducted my audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that I comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

94 of 131 / TCorp Annual Report

NEW SOUTH WALES TREASURY CORPORATION

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by members of the Board, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

 

I believe the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my audit opinion.

 

My opinion does not provide assurance:

 

· about the future viability of TCorp or the consolidated entity
   
· that they have carried out their activities effectively, efficiently and economically
   
· about the effectiveness of internal control
   
· about the security and controls over the electronic publication of the audited financial statements on any website where they may be presented
   
· about any other information, which may have been hyperlinked to/from the financial statements.

 

Independence

 

In conducting my audit, I have complied with the independence requirements of the Australian Auditing Standards and other relevant ethical pronouncements. The PF&A Act further promotes independence by:

 

providing that only Parliament, and not the executive government, can remove an Auditor-General
   
mandating the Auditor-General as auditor of public sector agencies but precluding the provision on non-audit services, thus ensuring the Auditor-General and the Audit Office of New South Wales are not compromised in their role by the possibility of losing clients or income.

TREASURY CORPORATION DIVISION OF THE GOVERNMENT SERVICE
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

 

1. Summary of significant accounting policies
   
(a) Reporting entity
   
  Treasury Corporation Division of the Government Service (‘the Division’) is a Division of the New South Wales Government Service, established pursuant to Part 2 of Schedule 1 to the Public Sector Employment and Management Act 2002. It is a not-for-profit entity as profit is not its principal objective. The Division is consolidated as part of the NSW Total State Sector Accounts. It is domiciled in Australia and its principal office is at Level 22, Governor Phillip Tower, 1 Farrer Place, Sydney, NSW, 2000.
   
  The Division’s objective is to provide personnel services to New South Wales Treasury Corporation.
   
  The Division commenced operations on 17 March 2006 when it assumed responsibility for the employees, employee-related liabilities and related administrative services of New South Wales Treasury Corporation.
   
  The financial report was authorised for issue by S W Knight the Division Head on 28 August 2013.
   
(b) Basis of preparation
   
  The Division is deemed to be a reporting entity in accordance with NSW Treasury Circular NSW TC 11/19 Financial Reporting and Annual Reporting Requirements Arising from Employment Arrangements.
   
  These are general purpose financial statements which are prepared in accordance with the requirements of Australian Accounting Standards, the Public Finance and Audit Act 1983, the Public Finance and Audit Regulation 2010, and specific directions issued by the NSW Treasurer.
   
  Generally, the historical cost basis of accounting has been adopted and the financial statements do not take into account changing money values or current valuations except for certain assets and provisions which are measured at fair value (see notes 3 and 4). Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
   
  The accrual basis of accounting has been adopted in the preparation of the financial statements, except for cash flow information.

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
   
  Standards and interpretations in issue not yet adopted
   
  At the date of authorisation of the financial statements, the Standards and Interpretations listed below were in issue but not yet effective.

 

  Standard/Interpretation   Effective for annual
reporting periods
beginning on or
after
  Expected to be
initially applied in
the financial year
ending
           
  AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement and AASB 2011-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 13.   1 January 2013   30 June 2014
           
  AASB 127 (2011) Separate Financial Statements   1 January 2013   30 June 2014

  AASB 9 Financial Instruments, AASB 2012-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Mandatory Effective Date of AASB 9 and Transition Disclosures, AASB 2010-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2010)   1 January 2015   30 June 2016

 

  When applied, these standards will impact only on the presentation of the financial statements and disclosures in the notes.
   
  Management’s judgements, key assumptions and estimates are disclosed in the relevant notes to the financial statements. All amounts are rounded to the nearest one thousand dollars and are expressed in Australian dollars.
   
(c) Comparative information
   
  Accounting policies and presentation adopted in these financial statements are consistent with the previous year. Comparative information has been reclassified, where necessary, to be consistent with the current year.
   
(d) Income
   
  Income is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue from the rendering of personnel services is recognised when the service is provided and only to the extent that the associated recoverable expenses are recognised.
   
(e) Receivables
   
  A receivable is recognised when it is probable that the future cash inflows associated with it will be realised and it has a value that can be measured reliably. It is derecognised when the contractual or other rights to future cash flows from it expire or are transferred.

TREASURY CORPORATION DIVISION OF THE GOVERNMENT SERVICE
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

 

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
   
(f) Payables
   
  Payables include creditors and accrued wages, salaries, and related on costs (such as fringe benefits tax and workers’ compensation insurance) where there is certainty as to the amount and timing of settlement.
   
  A payable is recognised when a present obligation arises under a contract or otherwise. It is derecognised when the obligation expires or is discharged, cancelled or substituted.
   
  A short-term payable with no stated interest rate is measured at historical cost if the effect of discounting is immaterial.
   
(g) Employee benefit provisions and expenses
   
  Provisions are recognised when the Division has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Division will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
   
  Employee benefit provisions represent expected amounts payable in the future in respect of unused entitlements accumulated as at the reporting date and associated liabilities (such as payroll tax).
   
  Superannuation liabilities associated with defined benefit schemes and leave liabilities are recognised as expenses and provisions when the obligations arise, which is usually through the rendering of service by employees.
   
  Superannuation is actuarially assessed prior to each reporting date and is measured at the present value of the estimated future payments.
   
  All other employee benefit liabilities are assessed by management and are measured at the undiscounted amount of the estimated future payments.
   
  The amount recognised for superannuation is the net total of the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the reporting date, minus the fair value at that date of any plan assets out of which the obligations are to be settled directly.
   
  The amount recognised in the statement of comprehensive income for superannuation is the net total of current service cost, interest cost and the expected return on any plan assets. Actuarial gains or losses are recognised immediately as ‘other comprehensive income’ in the year in which they occur.
   
  The actuarial assessment of superannuation uses the Projected Unit Credit Method and reflects estimated future salary increases and the benefits set out in the terms of the plan. The liabilities are discounted using the market yield rate on Commonwealth Government bonds of similar maturity to those obligations. Actuarial assumptions are unbiased and mutually compatible and financial assumptions are based on market expectations for the period over which the obligations are to be settled.

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
   
(h) Tax equivalents
   
  The Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 and the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 exempts the Division, as a controlled entity of New South Wales Treasury Corporation (refer note 5), from liability for Commonwealth income tax.
   
  Since the Division is legally established as a Division of the New South Wales Government Service (refer note 1 (a)), it is not subject to tax equivalents payments to the New South Wales Government.

TREASURY CORPORATION DIVISION OF THE GOVERNMENT SERVICE
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

 

8. Superannuation (continued)

 

All fund assets are invested at arm’s length. Payments may be made to Pillar Administration to reduce the superannuation liability. These payments are held in investment reserve accounts by Pillar Administration.

 

The 2013 actuarial assessment of SASS, SANCS and SSS was based on the requirements of Australian Accounting Standard AASB 119 Employee Benefits. This required that a market determined risk-adjusted discount rate be applied as a valuation interest rate in the calculation of the value of accrued benefits. To satisfy the AASB 119 requirements, the following principal actuarial assumptions were applied at the report date.

 

   2013   2012 
Discount Rate at 30th June(1)   3.80    3.06 
Expected return on assets backing current pension liabilities   8.6    8.6 
Expected salary increases  - to next financial year   2.3    2.5 
  - 2014/2015   2.3    2.5 
  - 2015/2016 to 2019/2020   2.0    2.5 
  - thereafter   2.5    2.5 
Expected rate of CPI Increase   2.5    2.5 
(1) In accordance with AASB 119 this rate reflects market yields of Commonwealth Government bonds at balance date.

 

Actual return on fund assets

 

   2013   2012 
   $’000   $’000 
Actual return on fund assets   270    2 
    270    2 

 

The expected return on assets assumption is determined by weighting the expected long-term return for each asset class by the target allocation of assets to each class. The returns used for each class are net of investment tax and investment fees.

8. Superannuation (continued)

 

Funding arrangements for employer contributions

 

The following is a summary of the financial position of the Funds calculated in accordance with AAS 25 ‘Financial Reporting by Superannuation Plans’:

 

   2013   2012 
(Surplus)/deficit  $’000   $’000 
Accrued benefits   1,265    1,170 
Net market value of fund assets   (1,882)   (1,579)
Net surplus   (617)   (409)

 

Contribution recommendations

 

  Method  2013   2012 
SASS Multiple of member contributions   0.00    0.00 
SANCS % Member Salary   0.00%   0.00%
SSS Multiple of member contributions   0.00    0.00 

 

Funding method

 

The method used to determine the employer contribution recommendations in the 2012 triennial actuarial review was the Aggregate Funding method. The method adopted affects the timing of the cost to the employer.

 

Under the Aggregate Funding method, the employer contribution rate is determined so that sufficient assets will be available to meet the benefit payments to existing members, taking into account the current value of assets and future contributions.

 

Weighted-average assumptions

 

   2013   2012 
   %   % 
Expected rate of return on Fund assets backing current pension liabilities   8.3    8.3 
Expected rate of return on Fund assets backing other liabilities   7.3    7.3 
Expected salary increase rate          
  - for 6 years   2.7    4.0 
  - thereafter   4.0    4.0 
Expected rate of CPI increase   2.5    2.5 

 

The AAS 25 surplus will be higher than the AASB 119 net defined benefit asset recognised in the balance sheet, because the expected after tax rate of return on the plan assets is typically higher than the long-term Commonwealth Government bond rate.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
Treasury Corporation Division of the Government Service

 

To Members of the New South Wales Parliament

 

I have audited the accompanying financial statements of New South Wales Treasury Corporation Division of the Government Service (the Division), which comprise the balance sheet as at 30 June 2013, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement, for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

 

Opinion

 

In my opinion, the financial statements:

 

· give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Division as at 30 June 2013, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards
   
· are in accordance with section 41B of the Public Finance and Audit Act 1983 (the PF&A Act) and the Public Finance and Audit Regulation 2010.

 

My opinion should be read in conjunction with the rest of this report.

 

The Chief Executive’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

 

The Chief Executive of New South Wales Treasury Corporation is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the PF&A Act and for such internal control as the Chief Executive determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

Auditor’s Responsibility

 

My responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on my audit. I conducted my audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those Standards require that I comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence bout the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Division’s preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Division’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Chief Executive, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my audit opinion.

 

My opinion does not provide assurance:

 

· about the future viability of the Division
   
· that it has carried out its activities effectively, efficiently and economically
   
· about the effectiveness of its internal control
   
· about the security and controls over the electronic publication of the audited financial statements on any website where they may be presented
   
· about other information which may have been hyperlinked to/from the financial statements.

 

Independence

 

In conducting my audit, I have complied with the independence requirements of the Australian Auditing Standards and other relevant ethical pronouncements. The PF&A Act further promotes independence by:

 

· providing that only Parliament, and not the executive government, can remove an Auditor-General
   
· mandating the Auditor-General as auditor of public sector agencies, but precluding the provision on non-audit services, thus ensuring the Auditor-General and the Audit Office of New South Wales are not compromised in their role by the possibility of losing clients or income.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
TCorp Nominees Pty Limited

 

To Members of the New South Wales Parliament

 

I have audited the accompanying financial statements of TCorp Nominees Pty Limited which comprise the balance sheet as at 30 June 2013, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

 

Opinion

 

In my opinion, the financial statements:

 

· give a true and fair view of the financial position of TCorp Nominees Pty Limited as at 30 June 2013, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards
   
· are in accordance with section 41B of the Public Finance and Audit Act 1983 (the PF&A Act), and the Public Finance and Audit Regulation 2010.

 

My opinion should be read in conjunction with the rest of this report.

 

The Chief Executive’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

 

The Chief Executive of New South Wales Treasury Corporation is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the PF&A Act, and for such internal control as the Chief Executive determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and that are are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

Auditor’s Responsibility

 

My responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on my audit. I conducted my audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those Standards require that I comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the TCorp Nominees Pty Limited’s preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of TCorp Nominees Pty Limited’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Chief Executive, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

TCORP NOMINEES PTY LIMITED
A.B.N. 81 003 747 162

 

I believe the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my audit opinion.

 

My opinion does not provide assurance:

 

· about the future viability of the TCorp Nominees Pty Limited
   
· that it has carried out its activities effectively, efficiently and economically
   
· about the effectiveness of its internal controls
   
· about the security and controls over the electronic publication of the audited financial statements on any website where they may be presented
   
· about other information which may have been hyperlinked to/from the financial statements.

 

Independence

 

In conducting my audit, I have complied with the independence requirements of the Australian Auditing Standards and other relevant ethical pronouncements. The PF&A Act further promotes independence by:

 

· providing that only Parliament, and not the executive government, can remove an Auditor-General
   
· mandating the Auditor-General as auditor of public sector agencies but precluding the provision of non-audit services, thus ensuring the Auditor-General and the Audit Office of New South Wales are not compromised in their role by the possibility of losing clients or income.
