President’s
Report
This is the annual report for the 2010 calendar year.
ACHPER QLD’s revised constitution, adopted in 2008 and
approved in 2009 means that we have shifted to calendar
year reporting and 2010 marks our first full year report.
One of the major issues for ACHPER
throughout 2010 was the discussion
concerning the Australian Curriculum and
the concern that HPE was not identified as
one of the core curriculum areas. We, as a
state branch of the national body, were active
in our advocacy in this area, lobbying at
state level and supporting national advocacy
efforts. We, along with many others are
very pleased to see the outcome of this
advocacy and lobbying result in the inclusion
of HPE in the national curriculum. We will
continue to advise and monitor as this new
curriculum goes through the various stages of
development and evaluation.
ACHPER QLD’s theme in 2010 was HPE:
A Healthy and Positive Experience. We
incorporated this theme into all our
major events and projects. It was entirely
appropriate given current community
concerns about chronic health issues;
the decline in physical activity; and the
perception that HPE was being devalued as a
curriculum area. We wanted to highlight the
significant importance of physical education
in our school communities and the need for
recognition of the valuable contribution HPE
teachers make by providing ongoing physical
activity in our school communities. As a result
of a significant increase in indications of low
morale amongst HPE teachers and frequent
expressions of disempowerment, ACHPER
QLD took the opportunity to commission a
piece of writing that we hope will live on to
inspire and encourage HPE teachers for many
years to come.
The poem, an ode to the PE teacher, written
by Rupert McCall is titled “Keepers of the
Spark”. Rupert presented a moving rendition
of this at the HPE Week Social Event and was
received with resounding applause from the
crowd. The script of the Keepers of the Spark
is available later in this report. This proved
to be one of the highlights of 2010 and we
were fortunate to have been able to record
this auspicious occasion and share Rupert’s
presentation at our conferences and other
events.
6

During the year, ACHPER QLD worked
hard to establish strong connections and
partnerships with appropriate organisations
and individuals. I would like to mention some
of these, as without such strategic alliances,
we would not be able to operate as effectively
as we have. We are not a government funded
organisation and so we need to position
ourselves so that we can be effective on
behalf of our members and supporters.
Valued partnerships that provided support
for us, via our projects and programs during
2010 can be identified on the front and back
covers of this document. We appreciate
the support provided by the Queensland
Government through the Department of
Education and Training for sponsorship of
our conferences, and through the Department
of Communities for sponsorship of the
Women in Sport Breakfast. In particular
we appreciate the support of the Hon. Phil
Reeves, Minister for Sport, who supported
the Women in Sport Breakfast through his
attendance and inspirational words to the 900
strong audience. In addition he also provides
ongoing advice and support through Sport
and Recreation Services. These partnerships
in 2010 made it possible for us to continue
offering our members, and others in the
HPE profession, a consistently high level of
service.
Your elected Management Committee is
made up of fellow members who have
volunteered to contribute to the running of
the organisation of ACHPER QLD. I want to
take this opportunity to applaud their efforts
and thank each of them for their contribution,
not only in terms of their commitment to
the profession, but also to their diligence as
directors of the organisation. In this era of
high governance expectation, it is essential
that the members of our board, not only bring
skills and passion to the role, but also take
on accountability and responsibility for the
proper conduct of all aspects of the business
of the organisation. I am happy to report to
the members at this AGM, that the governance
and fiduciary accountability of the ACHPER
QLD Management Committee is constantly
under review, and we are consistently seeking
the highest level of performance.
During the last twelve months, two of our
longest serving directors have resigned from
the Management Committee. Mich Tomson, a
former President of ACHPER QLD stood down
after being elected to the National Board of
ACHPER in August last year and Tom Cuddihy
resigned in February of 2011 to pursue his
passion in the field of Wellness. Both Mich
and Tom have been recognised by ACHPER
for their services over many years - Mich as
an ACHPER Fellow and Tom with the highest
honour of Life Member. On behalf of the
members of ACHPER in Queensland and my
fellow directors I take this occasion to again
thank Tom and Mich for their extraordinary
contributions to the organisation and the
profession and to personally express my
appreciation of their support and guidance
during the period of my involvement.
In terms of succession planning, we are
actively looking for younger members who
are prepared to put their names forward for
projects, sub-committees, or to be nominated
for the Management Committee. The most
under-represented group on our board and
7

associated committees, are those who have
been members for less than 5 years. Yet this
is the most numerous group of our current
membership. We need to attract and engage
those who can potentially bring fresh ideas,
and help us reach the entire HPE teacher
population! We are always delighted to hear
from those interested in participating in the
direction of this organisation.
I would particularly like to thank our staff
and contractors for their superb efforts in
2010. Our Executive Officer, Linda Marsden,
demonstrated leadership and determination
in moving our organisation forward in
challenging financial times. She received great
support in the office from our Administration
Manager, Jill Keating. Jill resigned from her
role at the end of 2010 after contributing 5
invaluable years of service. Despite both
these positions being part-time, we were
able to offer effective and efficient services
to our members and partners throughout the
year. Our volunteer editor for the quarterly
newsletter, ACHPER ACTION, Dr Sue Whatman,
also made a huge contribution throughout
2010. Furthermore our office is consistently
enlivened and supported each year by a range
of volunteer work-experience, internship, and
student placements.
We are an organisation which provides
important professional development for
our members and others working in the
health, physical education, sport and school
recreation disciplines in Queensland. In 2011
we plan to run 2 conferences; four regional
workshops; prepare numerous position
statements; and communicate constant
updates on professional standards.
It may surprise readers of this report that
we are attempting to provide these services
without any financial support from the
Queensland Department of Education. We
know that chronic disease factors, such as
diabetes, are on the increase amongst school
age children in Queensland. Our schools are
constantly under pressure to provide ‘fixes’
for a long list of health issues; but no funding
is available for the professional development
of the very teachers who are expected to
provide the ‘day to day’ solutions to the health
problems of Queensland school-age children.
It is for this reason that we have identified
the theme for 2011 to be: HPE: Highly
Professional Educators, and will continue on
our mission to not only provide opportunities
for professional development opportunities,
encourage and engage in best practice
and advocate for recognition of Health and
Physical Education as a key and important
profession in the wider industry. We invite you
to join us on this journey.

Executive Officer’s
Report
In 2010 ACHPER QLD continued to work
towards its vision of ‘healthy and active
lifestyles in educational communities across
Queensland’ and as we were not providing
support to other organisations via contracts
and projects, we focussed all efforts, attention
and limited resources on delivering service to
our core client group Health, Recreation and
PE Teachers.
As a result, we delivered three regional
workshops, HPE Week, two conferences,
celebrated the 20 th Women in Sport Breakfast
and delivered the ACHPER QLD Awards
program all with increased attendance and
increased levels of professionalism. Each of
our events has a unique purpose and role to
fulfil, with the Awards Program designed to
be a culmination of the efforts invested during
the year by recognising those employing the
best practices in our industry. I encourage
nominations for the ACHPER QLD Awards in
2011 and hope you will share with ACHPER
QLD and the broader industry the best
practice that is happening in your school or
education community.
During 2010, we engaged in a process of
redeveloping and expanding our website as a
major tool for communication and interaction
with our members and clients. Much of this
redevelopment is not yet visible to the public
eye but will be revealed with increased
implementation throughout 2011.
One major change to ACHPER QLD’s business
occurred during 2010 with the printing of the
final ever ACHPER Action. Due to increased
printing costs, and an increasing amount
of staff time to develop and distribute the
ACHPER Action the decision was made to
move to an electronic version of our journal,
which will now be released on a monthly
basis to keep our members and clients abreast
of topical issues relating to their roles.
Our financial situation continues to be a
challenge for the organisation, however as
our professionalism as an organisation grows
and our events increase in attendance our
viability will be ensured. With an experienced
and expert Management Committee directing
and guiding the organisation forward it is my
expectation that we will increase our service
delivery and our ability to address member
needs exponentially over the coming years.
Special thanks must go to the Management
Committee members, volunteers, staff and
project consultants. Without their time,
dedication, effort and passion our successes
would have been limited. I invite you to
read our event reports and then to join us
in 2011 for more learning, networking and
collaborating.

HPE Week
Report
ACHPER QLD facilitated the celebration of HPE
Week 2010 in a number of schools throughout
Queensland and provided advocacy tips and
ideas for schools to implement health and
physical education into their daily programs.
The Primary Schools Creative Health &
Physical Activity competition was hotly
contested with Barcaldine State School
narrowly coming in ahead of Birkdale SS who
was highly commended.
The primary and secondary competitions
offered resulted in the receipt of entries
demonstrating fantastic “on the ground”
implementation of daily physical activity.
The Secondary Schools HPE Week Photo
Competition winner was Milpera with their
photo montage and caption below:
Milpera HPE: Physical activities crossing universal and cultural
barriers to positively reinforce the value of healthy, humorous and
active participation.
HPE Week was complemented with a social
event, providing a networking opportunity
for those hardworking health and physical
education teachers who make it all happen
within the school environment. In 2010
attendees were treated to a inspirational
reading of the poem “Keepers of the Spark”
by Rupert McCall. ACHPER QLD commissioned
the writing of this poem
by Rupert in recognition
of the challenging and
uncertain environment
that the profession was
in early in 2010 with
questions surrounding
the inclusion of HPE in
the National Curriculum.
The ode to the PE teacher
was accepted with several
sparkling eyes in the
audience, and a great
cheer of appreciation.
The words to the poem
are included in this report
and we invite you to
reproduce and publish
as appropriate within
your school or education
community.

KEEPERS OF THE SPARK
I was feeling disillusioned
I was down and almost out
So I hit the street and ran to ease the tension!
I was jogging down the road
When, beside, a stranger strode
And declared a truth too vital not to mention
For I told him of my troubles
And he listened for a while
There was wisdom in the depth of his depiction
Then his gaze became possessed
Like a man supremely blessed
And this is what he said (with great conviction!)
Stand up you with self respect!
Stand up you who care!
Stand up you who challenge stormy weather
You who hold the righteous claim
To light an optimistic flame
The time has come for YOU to stand together
Befriend the sun that rises!
And defend the day it brings
Embrace the opportunity connected
The simple fact is well defined –
Healthy body – healthy mind
The moment calls and YOU have been selected
There I share your issue
In the modern web of life
Brick walls wrapped in red tape multiplying
The politics can make it tough
Bureaucracy and other stuff
But all these things are truly worth defying!
For adversity, as time has told
Precedes the sweetest taste
The road is long and only getting longer
Seeds of doubt will always sprout
But self-believers shut them out
The strong of heart will always finish stronger
So who are you that know this path
Horizon-hunters hail!
Who are you this aspiration reaches
Of all the souls who seek their fill
Many species fit the bill
But none are more important than our teachers!
Teachers of an active lifestyle
Keepers of the spark
That lights the eye of future generations
To educate for better health
It has to be the greatest wealth!
It has to be an act of inspiration
In the clearing stands a Phys Ed teacher!
Fighter for a cause!
In a certain sense, the quest lies uncompleted
He is battered, she is bruised
He is challenged, she’s confused
But no matter what, they will not be defeated!
Because the stuff that they are made of
Bears the hallmark of the brave
And the future needs such soldiers of resistance!
A wave is breaking on our shores
Where to now The choice is yours”
And with that… the stranger ran into the
distance…
Was it real or just my instinct
Well of that, I can’t be sure
But the message that had truly superseded
Today was good but in the end
Tomorrow seemed my greatest friend
And that was all the confidence I needed…
Take it forward! Don’t delay!
Go with passion! Seize the day!
Make a pact and see it through
Because the road belongs to you…

ACHPER QLD
Health & Physical Education
Conferences
Record registrations were recorded at the
Health & Physical Education Conferences
held by ACHPER QLD. A conference was
held for the second time in Cairns, at Rydges
Esplanade, and this time over 115 delegates
attended the two day event. Delegates
travelled from all over Far North Queensland
and the Peninsula, some over 10 hours by car
to be there for the wide selection of seminars
and presentations from quality speakers from
all over Queensland.
The Brisbane Conference, which was held
at Mt Gravatt SHS, by far outstripped all
previous attendance numbers with over
175 delegates, more than 35 speakers
and a jam packed trade exhibition area. In
Brisbane, delegates were treated to a keynote
presentation from Professor Michael Kimlin
from the AusSun Research Lab at QUT, with
the very topical theme of “What Teachers
Should Know about Ultraviolet Radiation
and Health Care” whilst, Rick Hanlon from
AFL Cape York, set the scene in Cairns with a
moving presentation on the “Power of Sport
& HPE”.
Over the two days at each conference
delegates had the opportunity to attend
practical sessions on dance, baseball, cricket,
speedminton, futsal, AFL, tennis, swimming,
handball, rugby and volleyball.
In addition a very rich selection of curriculum
based presentations were offered including
risk management, alcohol units, applying the
QCAR framework, applying smart moves,
writing assessment tasks. Adding to the
already varied presentations, sessions on
core stability for kids, injury prevention,
modified games, indigenous perspectives,
emotional states, personality types, yoga, and
technology were offered.
Supplementing the quality professional
development on offer, delegates also attended
a complimentary social event at both
conferences with Mark Beecroft, GM of Cairns
Taipans speaking in Cairns, and Matt McKay,
Captain of Brisbane Roar joining us for a
casual evening at Mt Gravatt. There were also
many lucky delegates taking away prizes from
the Brisbane Roar prize packs (autographed
by Matt McKay) to educational resources and
sporting goods from our trade exhibitors.
Both events were supported by the
Queensland Government via the Department
of Education as major sponsor, along with
support sponsors AUST Swim, Viking Futsal,
& Footsteps Dance Company. It is clear
that the level of interest in Professional
Development in the Health Education and
the Physical Education curriculum areas has
increased dramatically as evidenced by the
ever increasing numbers of delegates at these
professional development events, and there
is also a strong interest in building closer
links between schools and local sporting
organisations.

Women in Sport
ACHPER QLD Women in Sport
Breakfast celebrated it’s 20th
Anniversary
Report
Breakfast
On Thursday October 14, ACHPER QLD
celebrated the most successful “Women
in Sport Breakfast” in the highly regarded
event’s 20 year history.
Established by ACHPER QLD to promote sport
as a healthy and positive experience for young
women, 2010 saw the Grand Ballroom of the
Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre
packed with secondary school students and
teachers.
Channel 7’s Liz Cantor accepted the MC role,
following her overwhelming popularity as
a guest athlete at the 2009 Breakfast. The
2010 guest speaking line-up was developed
with a core theme of “overcoming obstacles
and achieving your goals”. It was headlined
by inspiring beach volleyball Olympic gold
medallist Natalie Cook, who took over
the stage and the audience in her usual
flamboyant style and encouraged the girls to
think positively, and to think for themselves.
Iron woman Hayley Bateup arrived with a
shoulder in a sling, and was able to talk with
confidence and currency about suffering
disappointment and looking for the positives.

Equally well received were up-and-coming
sports stars Kate McCarthy and Jamie-Lee
Lewis, who talked openly about pursuing the
sports that they love while coping with life
with a pacemaker (in the case of Kate) and life
without hearing (in Jamie-Lee’s case)

Attendees commented on how inspiring
the event was, with Candice de Casanove,
a teacher of Helensvale State High School
saying “It was an amazing and inspirational
morning.”, whilst Laura Keating, Principal of
Clairvaux MacKillop College also said “It was
great. Students were very impressed as were
colleagues... We’ll be back!”
The breakfast also allowed the opportunity for
a number of Rising Stars to be acknowledged
for their sporting achievements and supported
encouraged to continue to strive for their
goals with each Rising Star receiving a
personal training package from sponsor
Acceleration.
The Inaugural UQ HMS HPE Inspirational
Teacher Award was presented to Kerry
Styles of Benowa State High School, for her
dedication to encouraging and inspiring
young female athletes for the past 33 years.
Kerry demonstrated a unique leadership,
dedication, the ability to inspire over a very
close field of nominees. This award was a
special addition to the Breakfast Program –
designed to highlight and recognise the HPE
teachers for the often very influential and
inspiring role they have in the lives of female
students.
The breakfast could not have been a success
without the support of our sponsors the
Department of Communities, Sport and
Recreation Services, UQ School of Human
Movement Studies, 2XU, Channel Seven,
Lulu Lemon, The Brisbane Convention
and Exhibition Centre, Acceleration and
Talbot Press, as well as many of our other
supporters.

In a fortuitous coincidence, Cathy Reardon,

Regional Workshop
Series
In 2010, ACHPER QLD took the opportunity
to expand our successful regional workshop
series to include not only the Toowoomba
and Gold Coast areas but also the Sunshine
Coast. This was met with enthusiasm from the
local teachers on the North Coast with over 30
attending in its inaugural year.
Toowoomba workshop was first to receive
the benefits of professional development
on Friday 26 March , 48 teachers gathered
at the Toowoomba SHS Mt Lofty Campus
to hear from Department of Education
representatives, Department of Communities,
Sport and Recreation Services, the ARL,
Kids Sports, Acceleration and Skills Alliance.
In addition, Toowoomba received the benefit
of over 10 local sporting organisations
gathering with a trade show during the
lunch break, and a Jump Rope for Heart
Presentation. The workshop was, as always,
well received with participants rating the
organisation and content as excellent in
evaluations.
The final workshop was delivered at Burnside
State High School in Nambour on the
Sunshine Coast Workshop on Thursday,
3 June 2010. Thirty two teachers attended the
workshop from 22 different schools. This was
pleasing in view of this being an inaugural
event in this area. The program was again a
similar coverage of topics relevant to the HPE
as received at Toowoomba and Gold Coast.
Many thanks must go to Jocelyn Balmer who
coordinated the delivery of all three regional
workshops with excellent feedback from all
attendees and presenters. Recognition and
thanks must also go to HART Sport, Skills
Alliance, Teachers Union Health, Acceleration,
Darling Downs School Sport and the Gold
Coast Physical Activity Alliance for the
support provided to the workshops.
The Gold Coast workshop was delivered on
Friday 28 May and was well attended with
57 teachers present. A similar program to
Toowoomba was available with the addition
of QPEC and some local school teachers
presenting. Support from the Gold Coast
Physical Activity Alliance and South Coast
School Sport in the delivery of the workshop
was well appreciated.

Finance Director’s
For the year ending 31 December 2010
Report
PROFIT
The net result for the year ending
31 December 2010 year is a loss of $8,555
(2009 profit: $41,832).
The 2009 profit can in part be attributed to
the 2009 International conference and the
associated profit share that ACHPER QLD was
entitled to. This is not an annual event and
therefore should be noted when comparing to
2010.
The loss for the year was largely anticipated in
our 2010 budget as we entered a year for the
first time knowing that we could not expect
certain income streams and government
support that we had received in the past.
Our ambitious projections fell short in event
registrations and event sponsorship; however
this was almost recovered by cost savings in
our budgeted event expenses. The committee
was not disappointed to emerge at the end of
the year with this comparatively small loss.
As we enter 2011 we are again working from
a break even budget, however our experience
from 2010 has enabled us to put together a
more realistic budget that should see ACHPER
QLD finish 2011 at a break even or small
profit.
INVESTMENTS
In 2010 the ACHPER QLD management
committee initiated a website upgrade which
will add significant communication benefits
and increased interaction with our members.
The total committed investment will be $7250
As at the end of 2010 we had spent $1,170 of
the total.
Prior years surplus has also been invested into
a higher interest savings account resulting in
interest revenue of $1,960 in 2010 (2009: $110)
INTERNAL CONTROL
The ACHPER QLD team has implemented
a number of controls around spending and
accounting in the past 18 months to ensure
that the organisation’s funds are properly
accounted for. These controls are revised
regularly and are supported by our annual
independent audit.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the year ending 31 December 2010
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
This financial report is a special purpose
financial report prepared in order to satisfy
the financial reporting requirements of the
Associations Incorporations Act [Queensland].
The committee has determined that the
association is not a reporting entity. The
financial report has been prepared on an
accruals basis and is based on historical costs
and does not take into account changing
money values or, except where specifically
stated, current valuations of non-current
assets.
The following significant accounting policies,
which are consistent with the previous period
unless otherwise stated, have been adopted in
the preparation of this financial report.
a) Property, Plant and Equipment
(PPE)
Leasehold improvements and office
equipment are carried at cost less, where
applicable, any accumulated depreciation.
The depreciable amount of all PPE is
depreciated over the useful lives of the
assets to the association commencing from
the time the asset is held ready for use.
Leasehold improvements are amortised over
the shorter of either the unexpired period of
the lease or the estimated useful lives of the
improvements.
b) Impairment of Assets
At the end of each reporting period, the entity
reviews the carrying values of its tangible
and intangible assets to determine whether
there is any indication that those assets have
been impaired. If such an indication exists,
the recoverable amount of the asset, being
the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs
to sell and value in use, is compared to the
asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the
asset’s carrying value over its recoverable
amount is expensed to the income statement.
c) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the
association has a legal or constructive
obligation, as a result of past events, for
which it is probable that an outflow of
economic benefits will result and that outflow
can be reasonably measured. Provisions are
measured at the best estimate of the amounts
required to settle the obligation at the end of
the reporting period.
d) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on
hand, deposits held at call with banks, and
other short-term highly liquid investments
with original maturities of three months or
less.
e) Revenue and Other Income
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the
consideration received or receivable after
taking into account any trade discounts and
volume rebates allowed. For this purpose,
deferred consideration is not discounted to
present values when recognising revenue.
Interest revenue is recognised using the
effective interest rate method, which for
floating rate financial assets is the rate
inherent in the instrument. Dividend revenue
is recognised when the right to receive a
dividend has been established Grant and
donation income is recognised when the
entity obtains control other the funds, which
is generally at the time of receipt.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of
goods and services tax (GST).
28

f) Leases
Leases of PPE, where substantially all the
risks and benefits incidental to the ownership
of the asset, but not the legal ownership, are
transferred to the association, are classified as
finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised
by recording an asset and a liability at the
lower of the amounts equal to the fair value
of the leased property or the present value of
the minimum lease payments, including any
guaranteed residual values. Lease payments
are allocated between the reduction of the
lease liability and the lease interest expense
for that period. Leased assets are depreciated
on a straight line basis over the shorter of
their estimated useful lives or the lease term.
Lease payments for operating leases, where
substantially all the risks and benefits remain
with the lessor, are charged as expenses in
the period in which they are incurred.
g) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised
net of the amount of GST, except where the
amount of GST incurred is not recoverable
from the Tax Office. In these circumstances,
the GST is recognised as part of the cost of
acquisition of the asset or as part of an item
of the expense. Receivables and payables in
the assets and liabilities statement are shown
inclusive of GST.
h) Trade and Other Payables
Trade and other payables represent the
liability outstanding at the end of the
reporting period for goods and services
received by the association during the
reporting period, which remain unpaid. The
balance is recognised as a current liability
with the amounts normally paid within 30
days of recognition of the liability.

Independent
Report to the members of the Australian
Auditor’s
Council for Health Physcial Education and
Recreation Queensland Branch Inc.
We have audited the financial report, being
a special purpose financial report of The
Australian Council for Health Physical
Education and Recreation Queensland Branch
Inc for the year ended 31 December 2010. The
committee is responsible for the financial
report and has determined that the accounting
policies used are appropriate to meet the
needs of the Associations Incorporation Act
(Queensland) and the needs of the members.
We have conducted an independent audit of
this financial report in order to express an
opinion on it to the members. No opinion
is expressed as to whether the accounting
policies used are appropriate to the needs of
the members.
The financial report has been prepared for the
purpose of fulfilling the requirements of the
Associations Incorporation Act (Queensland).
We disclaim any assumption of responsibility
for any reliance on this report or on the
financial report to which it relates to any
person other than the members or for any
purpose other than that for which it was
prepared.
Our audit has been conducted in accordance
with Australian Auditing Standards. Our
procedures included examination, on a test
basis of evidence supporting the amounts
and other disclosures in the financial report
and the evaluation of significant accounting
estimates. These procedures have been
undertaken to form an opinion whether,
in Note 1 so as to present a view which
is consistent with our understanding of
the Association’s financial position, and
performance as represented by the results of
its operations. These policies do not require
the application of all Australian Accounting
Standards and other mandatory professional
reporting requirements.
The audit opinion expressed in this report has
been formed on the above basis.
QUALIFICATION
It is not practicable, because of the way
income is raised. to establish control over
income received prior to its initial entry in the
accounting records, nor is it practicable for
us to confirm that all other income has been
received and recorded. Our audit relating
to this income was therefore limited to the
amounts recorded in the records.
This firm has not sighted the petty cash float.
We express no opinion as to the existence or
value of such petty cash on hand.
QUALIFIED AUDIT OPINION
In our opinion, except for the effects of such
adjustments, if any, as might have been
determined to be necessary had the limitation
discussed in the qualification paragraph
not existed, the accompanying financial
statements:
(i) are properly drawn up in accordance
with the requirements of the Associations
Incorporation Act 1981, and
(ii) presents fairly the financial position of
the Australian Council for Health Physical
Education and Recreation Queensland Branch
Inc at 31 December 2010 and of its results of
its operations for the year ended on that date;
and are in accordance with accounting
policies described in Note 1 to the financial
statements.
