11 Areas of audit focus 1 Infrastructure and Other Assets PCC s largest assets, judgemental revaluation process Carrying value of property, plant and equipment Carrying value as at 31 December 2017: $1,297m Key judgments Use of independent valuation experts to estimate fair values of infrastructure assets. Consideration of useful lives of assets and depreciation rates. Relevant accounting standards: PBE IPSAS: 17 Property, Plant and Equipment PBE IPSAS 16: Investment Property PBE IFRS 5: Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations Our audit response: Assets revalued during the year Infrastructure assets are carried at fair value and dominate Council s balance sheet. Assets are revalued on a 2 year cycle. For 30 June 2018, Council has revalued its 3 water infrastructure assets to a fair value of $348m. The valuation is carried out as at 31 December Due to significance of the infrastructure assets, any misclassification of maintenance and/or capital expenditure or inappropriateness of depreciation rates could generate a material adjustment to the financial statements. The valuations are required to be conducted in line with the appropriate accounting standard namely PBE IPSAS 17 and the valuers should be suitably qualified and independent of the Council. We will review the key inputs to the valuation reports to assess whether these are reasonable and relevant to Council s circumstances. We will obtain assurance that the valuation results are appropriately recognised in the financial statements. Other aspects of infrastructure assets Other significant aspects of our work relating to infrastructure assets includes considering Capital Work-In-Progress and the fair value of Vested Assets. On a sample basis we will obtain assurance that any capitalised additions are consistent with the capitalisation criteria under PBE IPSAS 17. We will consider the integrity of the depreciation amounts on the various classes of infrastructure assets, with placing a particular attention on the assets that are revalued during the year. We will review whether the depreciation rates are appropriately reflected in the fixed assets register following the valuation. Investment Properties Council carries investment properties at fair value. The valuations for investment properties to fair value are conducted on an annual basis in accordance with PBE IPSAS 16. We will review the annual revaluation of investment properties in consideration of PBE IPSAS 16. With regards to the external valuations, we will review the integrity of the data provided to the expert. We will carry out appropriate procedures to allow reliance on their work, such as obtaining reliance letters from the independent valuers engaged by Council. Properties Held For Sale Council continues to consider disposal of a number of its properties that are surplus to requirements and recognised $289k worth of properties as held for sale at 30 June Council holds investment property which may be reclassified as held for sale depending on Council s intentions and marketing activities regarding the property (2017 carrying value of investment properties: $16.1m). We will assess the classification and valuation of assets held for sale in consideration of any Council decision to sell and market properties. We will check that the disclosures are in accordance with the requirements of PBE IPSAS 16 and PBE IFRS 5. 4 Audit Plan for the year ending 30 June 2018 Porirua City Council 24
12 2 Rates and other revenue legislatively complex, largest revenue source 2018 forecasts: Rates Income: $59.79m Fees and charges: $18.95m Subsidies and grants: $16.18m Relevant accounting standards: PBE IPSAS: 9 Revenue from Exchange Transactions PBE IPSAS 23: Revenue from Non-Exchange Transactions Rates Income Rates are the primary source of funding for Council. In the local authority context, failure to comply with rating law and the associated consultation requirements can create significant risks to the integrity of rates revenue. The requirement for there to be consistency between the rates resolution, the Funding Impact Statement for that year, and the Revenue and Financing Policy in the LTP is fundamental. This thread links community consultation to the rates levied by Council. We will consider the procedures PCC has in place to ensure the rates strike is in compliance with the Local Government Rating Act and confirm that the rates struck are being invoiced accordingly. We will test the accuracy of the use of underlying valuation information (as prepared by Quotable Value) and integrity of the rates debtor management system along with a review of the level of provisioning against the rates debtors overdue. Fees and charges Council collects a variety of fees and charges for the provision of specific services. Significant fees and charges relate to: Council owned operations such as Library, Martaka museum and Cannons Creek Pool. Te Rauparaha Arena services Building compliance Resource consent Water supply. We will update our understanding of significant fees and charges and related collection processes. We will testing a sample of fees to ensure that the fees are recorded appropriately given the nature and timing of the services provided. We will also consider the collectability and provisioning of year end outstanding receivables balances. Subsidies and grants Transport projects and maintenance undertaken by Council are eligible to receive funding from New Zealand Transport Agency ( NZTA ). The funding must be applied for and granted prior to the project or programmed years work being undertaken. NZTA has approved a 54% budget for funding of Transmission Gully link roads capital expenditure. We will perform procedures to obtain assurance that the income from subsidies is consistent with our expectations and understanding of the expenditure being incurred, including subsidies related to Transmission Gully. We will review outstanding NZTA claims at balance date with a particular emphasis on understanding with emphasis on us understanding the specific contracts and other documentation supporting variations to funding. 5 Audit Plan for the year ending 30 June 2018 Porirua City Council 25
13 3 Provisions Estimation uncertainty Carrying value of provisions Landfill aftercare provision carrying value as at 31 December 2017: $8.83m Leaky homes provision: $3.5m Key judgments Use of estimates to determine uncertain future obligations. Relevant accounting standards: PBE IPSAS 19: Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets Landfill aftercare provision Council records a landfill after care provision related to the Spicer Valley Landfill. The carrying value of the landfill aftercare provision as at 31 December 2017 is $8.83 million. During 2017, Council reassessed and changed the useful live of the landfill from 2022 to 2030 in light of the resource consent that is available to operate the landfill until The provision for closure costs is determined by calculating the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to closing the landfill and the necessary aftercare costs. Assumptions used in the calculation of the landfill aftercare provision, such as interest rates and useful lives of the landfill, could be subject to significant fluctuation. We will review the movements in the provision for future costs based on recent Council cost experience. We will test the assumptions and discounting of values associated with the landfill provision and ensure disclosures in the financial statements are in line with PBE IPSAS 19. Provision for leaky homes Council has had a number of claims lodged against it in respect of leaky homes in the region. Council was aware of three claims as at 30 June 2017 with an estimate provision of $3.5 million. We will review the level of provisioning for leaky home claims and the treatment of costs incurred to settle historical leaky home claims and whether the cost implications would impact current provisioning levels. We will also review disclosures of contingent liabilities. 6 Audit Plan for the year ending 30 June 2018 Porirua City Council 26
14 4 Employee Entitlements Annual forecast staff cost $25.5m Carrying value of Employee Entitlements Employee leave balances as at 31 December 2017: 1.17m Relevant accounting standards: PBE IPSAS 25: Employee Benefits Employee Entitlements As in prior years we plan to test and rely on management controls operating over payroll and recording of employee entitlements. Over and above our routine procedures related to employee entitlement balances we will continue to monitor progress being made by PCC to address historic Holidays Act 2003 compliance. We will review the required disclosures in relation to any severance payments in the annual report. 5 Public Debt and Derivatives Carrying value of Public Debt Carrying value as at 31 December 2017: 67.62m Relevant accounting standards: PBE IPSAS: 28 Financial Instruments: Presentation PBE IPSAS: 29 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement PBE IPSAS: 30 Financial Instruments: Disclosures Public Debt Council accesses to debt through the Local Government Funding Authority (LGFA). Council has debt covenant compliance obligations. Council is also a guarantor of the LGFA total debt and the financial reporting standards require the Council to recognise a fair value of the guarantee liability. The Council is responsible for preparing Reporting Certificates to the Trustee in accordance with the requirements of the Trust Deed. We will obtain an understanding of any changes in the debt facility agreements during the year and the obligations and implications of receiving funding through the LGFA. We will review the process for managing draw-downs and give consideration to the classification of the debt between long-term and short-term. We will ensure debt position is in line with the Council s Long Term Plan and check Council s compliance with the reporting requirements and debt covenants. We have been engaged to perform a limited assurance engagement in addition to the statutory audit over the preparation of the debenture trust reporting certificate in accordance with the requirements of clause of the Trust Deed. Derivatives Council maintain a portfolio of interest rate swaps to manage the exposure to interest rate fluctuations. These swaps are carried at fair value. We will confirm derivative positions in place at year-end and consider revaluing a sample of contracts for appropriateness and review disclosures associated with the debt and swap positions. 7 Audit Plan for the year ending 30 June 2018 Porirua City Council 27
15 6 Non-financial performance information Non-financial reporting As at December 2017, 80% of performance measures are on track, 1% requires attention and 19% are categorised as critical. Our audit opinion on the service performance report covers compliance with generally accepted accounting practice, and whether or not the service performance report fairly reflects Council s actual service performance for the period. The performance framework is currently being re-assessed as a part of the 2018/2038 LTP. This will be reflected in Council s 2018 Annual Report. During FY17, Council achieved its targets for 76 of the 101 measures. The reported measures also included the mandatory DIA Local Government non-financial performance measures. There is a risk of inadequacy of reporting systems to monitor performance with the potential of failure to adequately report the provision of core utility services to the public. We will review the Statement of Service Performance to determine whether the measures that have been reported on are in line with the Long Term Plan and whether outputs have been achieved where stipulated. We will assess the completeness and adequacy of performance monitoring procedures. We will also assess the completeness and effectiveness of the performance framework utilised at an outcome level and provide feedback on the overall annual report and the summary annual report. 7 Sector Themes Local Authority Audit Themes Sector specific areas of focus Part of reporting obligations to Parliament under the Public Finance Act Areas of Focus The Office of the Auditor General each year outlines certain areas of focus to be considered during the audit process. Based on our 2017 audit and the latest audit brief, released on 20 December 2017, areas with relevance to our audit include: Asset Management Elected members remuneration and allowances Fraud risks Disclosure of severance payments Compliance with rating laws Sensitive expenditure Compliance with laws and regulations Financial Reporting and Prudence Regulations Non-financial performance measures We will perform the following procedures to address these matters: Obtain an understanding of the quality of asset management practices. Review management s policies and procedures surrounding fraud detection and prevention and remain alert to fraud indicators throughout the performance of our audit procedures, including the completion of our controls testing surrounding the expenditure and payroll process. Review policies and procedures surrounding legislative compliance, including the compliance with rating laws. We will hold discussions with management in relation to risk management in this area. Sensitive expenditure testing on a judgmental basis. Review the adequacy of disclosures in the annual report relating to severance payments and elected members remuneration and allowances. We will specifically audit each prudence benchmark and ensure there is consistency of reporting against planned measures and the financial information underlying the financial statements. 8 Audit Plan for the year ending 30 June 2018 Porirua City Council 28
16 8 Fraud risk that management may override controls IT control environment The primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud and error rests with those charged with the governance and management of PCC. Our responsibility as the external auditor is to consider the risk of fraud and the factors that are associated with it so as to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements and service performance information are free from material misstatement resulting from fraud. Professional standards require us to perform certain procedures designed to address the risks of fraud, including the risk of management override. IT general controls In conducting our work we intend to place reliance on a number of the IT systems across Council, based on the significant accounts supported by these systems. Evaluating IT general controls ( ITGCs ) is an integral part of our audit in assessing the controls that underpin financially significant systems and support the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information processing. Our evaluation of ITGCs focuses on two key areas: We will inform the Assurance and Risk Committee and management should we become aware of any actual or suspected instances of fraud as a result of our audit. Area Procurement Planned procedures Update our understanding of PCC s procurement policy and tendering processes. Examine a sample of tenders for compliance with PCC s policy and good practice. Area Access to programs and data Change management Description Controls are in place to determine that only authorised persons have access to data and applications (including programs, tables, and related resources) and that they can perform only specifically authorised functions Controls are in place to determine that only appropriately authorised, tested, and approved changes are made to applications, interfaces, databases, and operating systems Journal entries Significant transactions and valuation judgements Testing the operating effectiveness over journal entries and post-closing adjustments Examining manual journal entries assessed to be of high risk. Examining the accounting for significant transactions or valuations Based on our prior year testing, discussions with management and a preliminary review of your IT environment we have outlined below a summary of our expected reliance on the key IT systems that underpin your significant accounting processes: Business process Change management Logical access Fi Finance One E.g. Financial statement close, accounts receivable, accounts payable In scope for 2018 IT general controls procedures Full reliance, controls were designed and operated effectively during the audit period 9 Audit Plan for the year ending 30 June 2018 Porirua City Council 29
