INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORTTO THE MEMBERS OF SUNSHINE COAST RIDING FOR THE DISABLED (RDA) INC

Qualified OpinionWe have audited the accompanying financial report, being a special purpose financial reporl ofSunshine Coast Riding for the Disabled (RDA) Inc ("the Association") which comprises the BalanceSheetasat3l December20 l6,thelncomeandExpenditureStatementfortheyearthenended,notescomprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and theStatement by Members of the Committee.

In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the matter described inthe Basisfor Quatified Opinionsection of the audit report, the accompanying financial repoft presents fairly, in all material respects,the financial position of the Association as at 31 December20l6 and of its performance forthe yearthen ended in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards to the extent described in theaccounting policies disclosed in Note 1 to the financial statements and the Associations lncorporationAct 1981 lQueenslandl.

Basi.t Jbr Qual(icd OpinionAs is common with other similar organisations, it is impracticable to establish and maintain an effectivesystem of internal control over fundraising and events income transactions prior to amounts beingbanked and recorded in the accounting records. Accordingly, our audit procedures with respect toincome have been restricted to ensuring that the amounts banked were properly recorded in theaccounting records. We therefore are unable to express an opinion as to whether income is complete.

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities underthose standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibitities for the Audit of the FinancialReport section ofthe audit report.

We are independent of the Association in accordance with the auditor independence and ethicalrequirernents of APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sLrfficient and appropriate to provide a basisfor our qualified opinion.

Emphasis of Matter - Basis of AccountingWe draw attention to Note I to the financial statements, which describes the basis of accounting. Thefinancial report has been prepared for the purpose of fulfilling the Management Committee's financialreporling responsibilities under the Associations lncorporation Act l98l (Queensland). As a result,the financial report may not be suitable for another purpose and should not be distributed to or used byparties other than the members. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Responsibilities oJ the Committee for the Financial ReportThe Management Comtnittee of the Association is responsible for the preparation of the financialreport that presents fairly and has determined that the basis of preparation described in Note I to thefinancial report is appropriate to meet the requirements of the Associations Incorporation Act l98 l(Queensland) and the needs of the mernbers. The Management Committee's responsibility alsoincludes such internal control as the Management Committee determines is necessary to enable thepreparation of the financial reportthatpresents fairly and is free from material misstatement, whetherdue to fraud or effor.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORTTO THE MEMBERS OF SUNSHINE COAST RIDING FOR THE DISABLED (RDA) INC

(continued)

In preparing the financial report, the Management Committee is responsible for assessing theAssociation's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as appropriate, matters relating togoing concern and using the going concern basis ofaccounting.

Auditor's Responsibilityfor the Audit of the Financial ReportOur objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial repoft as a whole is freeffom material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's reporl that includesour opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an auditconducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a materialmisstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered materialif, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economicdecisions ofusers taken on the basis ofthis financial repofi.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professionaljudgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

a) Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraudor error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidencethat is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting amaterial misstatement resulting liom fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraudmay involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override ofinternal controls;

b) Obtain an understanding of internal controls relevant to the audit in order to design auditprocedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not fbr the purpose of expressing anopinion on the effectiveness ofthe entity's internal controls;

c) Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accountingestimates and related disclosures made by the Management Committee;

d) Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management Committee's use of the going concern basisof accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty existsrelated to events or conditions that may cost significant doubt on the entity's ability to continueas a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to drawattention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial reporl or, if suchdisclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the auditevidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's repoft. However, future events or conditionsmay cause the entity to cease to continue as a going concern; and

e) Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including thedisclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events ina manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with the Management Committee regarding, among other matters, the planned scopeand tirning of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internalcontrols that we identify during our audit.

SECRETARY'S REPORT for the 2017 AGM

2016 saw a significant change to past practices with the appointment of Coralie Kedzlie as Operations Manager. Apart from easing the workload of the Treasurer's position, Coralie also took afair proportion of the workload from the Secretary as well. The email queries and responses are nowdivided up between Operations Manager and Secretary.I would like to thank the continuing support in this job provided by Sharon Watts as Treasurer, Coralie Kedzlie as Operations Manager and with continuing support from others with assistance with filing and other organisational tasks, in particular Lindi Davison, Di Bennett and Carolyn Neville.

The construction and completion of the Clubhouse Stage 1 project saw the move from the old officeto the new offices inside the Clubhouse. Just because we have more room does not mean the tasks are simplified! New systems have been put in place to ensure security of sensitive documentation when others are using the arena or clubhouse.

The majority of scope of work for the Secretary continues to involve the day to day dealing with volunteer and client enquiries (most of these being handled via email now), initial assessment bookings (also mostly via email), blue card applications for volunteers, inputting information onto the database, co-ordination with the school groups for their sessions and general correspondence, including those required by government agencies and from organisations wishing to support us in one form or another. Letters of Thanks and 80 Certificates of Appreciation for 2016, (lower than previous years due to the cancellation of the Open Day), also are high on the list of outgoing mail.

Maroochy RSL continued their sponsorship of 5 our horse herd again in 2016 and this sponsorship is much appreciated. Other organisations and individuals also continue to sponsor horses to assist inoffsetting the horse-related costs.

As was commenced in 2011, all inward and outward correspondence continues to be recorded in a Correspondence booklet. It allows us to ensure correspondence is promptly dealt with and which can be referred to in cases of dispute or uncertainty. This has proved to be beneficial on a number ofoccasions.

In 2016, following the submission of the regulatory requirements for Office of Fair Trading and Australian Charities and Not-for-Profit Commission, our organisation was awarded a ACNC Registered Charity Tick, which has been recently advertised in our Newsletters. Hopefully this will result in more donation dollars as the public views charities that are financially responsible.

In closing I would like to thank all who are part of Sunshine Coast RDA and who have a genuine care and empathy for others in our community, for your very valuable donation of time and skills to make our Centre the place it is today.

Jan O'Halloran,Secretary
