Risks and mitigations
12. The annual
report is a legislatively required document. It is audited by Audit New Zealand
who assess if the report represents information fairly and consistently, and
that the financial statements comply with accounting standard PBE FRS-43:
Summary Financial Statements. Failure to demonstrate this could result in a
qualified audit opinion.
13. The annual
report is a key communication to residents. It is important to tell a clear and
balanced performance story, in plain English and in a form that is accessible,
to ensure that council meets its obligations to be open with the public it
serves.
