Whakarāpopototanga matua

3.       The Governing Body at its meeting on 26 September 2019, will be asked to adopt the Auckland Council Annual Report 2018/2019 and the Auckland Council Summary Annual Report 2018/2019 (annual reports). Preparing and publishing these annual reports is a legislative requirement.

4.       The annual reports, covering the 12 months to 30 June 2019, have been prepared by Auckland Council staff and audited by Audit New Zealand on behalf of the Deputy Auditor-General. The annual reports compare and comment on the performance of the group and the council against the budgets and performance targets set in year one of the amended 10-year Budget 2018-2028.

8.         The budget was adopted in June 2018. It included a $26 billion capital investment programme to address growth pressures on transport, water, environment and community infrastructure.

Horopaki

Context

9.       The following diagram sets out the reporting milestones and provides an outline of the process underway to approve and adopt the annual reports.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

10.     The Local Government Act 2002 requires Auckland Council to prepare and adopt an annual report and summary annual report each year. The council is also required, under the New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZX) listing rules, to publish an annual report.

11.     The draft annual reports for the year to 30 June 2019 have been prepared by council staff and audited by Audit New Zealand on behalf of the Deputy Auditor-General.

12.     The Audit and Risk Committee reviews the quality of the draft annual reports, the processes used by management, and compliance with legislation and the financial reporting standards. They also review the audit risk process with the Office of the Auditor-General and Audit New Zealand. The Audit and Risk Committee completed their review on 12 September 2019.

13.     The terms of reference for the Finance and Performance Committee include recommending the draft annual reports to the Governing Body. This report, and the report to be presented in the confidential agenda (titled Draft Auckland Council Annual Report 2018/2019 and draft Auckland Council Annual Report 2018/2019) enable the committee to execute that responsibility.

14.     The draft annual reports are for the Auckland Council Group which is the result of consolidating the financial and performance results of Auckland Council and its council-controlled organisations. For legislative compliance purposes, the financial statements of Auckland Council are included. All budgets and performance targets are those set out in the 10-year Budget 2018-2028 and the Annual Plan 2017/2018.

15.     The draft annual report consists of three separate volumes (to be presented in confidential):

·    Volume 1: Overview and service performance

·    Volume 2: Local boards (comprising of 21 local board reports)

·    Volume 3: Financial statements

16.     The draft summary annual report is a separate stand-alone document (to be presented in confidential).

17.     On 27 August 2019, the Auckland Council Group released preliminary results to the NZX as required by listing rules. The NZX preliminary announcement, primary financial statements and media release was reviewed by the Audit and Risk Committee on 27 August 2019, before being approved by the chair and deputy chair of the Finance and Performance Committee under delegation.

18.     The draft annual reports are currently undergoing a final review by Audit New Zealand and may be subject to some editorial changes prior to final submission to the Governing Body and subsequent publication.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

19.     The draft annual report reflects the results of the Auckland Council Group for the year ended 30 June 2019. The council-controlled organisations are involved in the preparation of this information.

Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe

Local impacts and local board views

20.     The draft annual report Volume 2: Local Boards, includes a section featuring the achievements in each local board area. Local boards were engaged to collect and review this information and each chair has prepared a message which is included in their respective report.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

21.     The draft annual reports cover all aspects of the group’s governance and public accountability. The draft annual reports include commentary on the Auckland Council Group’s contribution to outcomes for Māori, the role of the Independent Māori Statutory Board and the council’s Te Waka Angamua - Māori Strategy and Relations department.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

22.     There are no financial implications directly arising from the information contained in the report.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

23.     The following risks have been identified:

Risk of error, omission or non-compliance in preparation of annual report and summary annual report

24.     There is a risk that errors or non-compliance with legislation and accounting standards could occur in the preparation of the annual reports. To mitigate this risk, quality assurance reviews were performed on the consolidated results and commentary and the year-end reports. The reviews focused on accuracy, completeness and reasonableness of disclosures, legislative compliance and adherence to the council’s communications standards.

25.     There is also a risk that the annual reports present a biased view of the performance of the Auckland Council Group. Trust lens reviewers are used to review these reports to ensure that the annual reports tell a fair and balanced story, that good news stories are truthful and accurate and the poor performance stories are honest and transparent. They review the overall story for consistency through all volumes.

Compliance reviews

26.     Auckland Council’s Legal Services department reviews the draft annual reports for compliance with local government legislation.

27.     Mayne Wetherell reviews volume 3 of the annual report as well as the summary annual report for compliance with NZX listing rules, and compliance with the Financial Reporting Act 2013 and the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.

Reviews of accuracy, completeness and fairness

28.     A number of reviews of the annual reports take place by people with differing levels and areas of involvement in financial reporting. A summary of the reviews is as follows:

29.    In addition to these reviews, Auckland Council’s Financial Control unit completes a detailed reporting checklist to ensure all reporting and disclosure requirements have been met, providing assurance that reporting and disclosure requirements have been complied with.

30.     Two trust lens reviewers provided feedback on the financial statements. Both reviewers are not within Auckland Council’s Finance Division, and neither were involved in the preparation of the annual report or summary annual report.

31.     All the quality assurance reviewers who perform reviews from a financial perspective are Chartered Accountant or Chartered Financial Analyst qualified and have the appropriate technical accounting skills and knowledge.

Breach of confidentiality

32.     All Auckland Council, council-controlled organisations and Port of Auckland Limited employees who are involved in the preparation and review of the annual reports have been briefed on confidentiality requirements.

33.     A cover memo, reminding councillors of confidentiality restrictions, was attached to the draft copies of the annual reports which were provided to the members prior to this meeting.
