BOXING AUSTRALIA | ANNUAL REPORT | 2011-12 5
CHAIRPERSON’S REPORT //
For us in Australian amateur boxing we are living in a time of change – possibly in the future someone may name this period as ‘the time of change’. And, already it can be
seen that next year will see revolutionary change brought to our sport. In 2013 the International Boxing Association (AIBA) will commence conducting professional boxing through APB (AIBA Professional Boxing). Boxing Australia will be called upon to accept its responsibility for APB competition in Australia. At the same time the Australian Sports Commission, following the Review conducted in 2012 into Boxing Australia by its officers, is requiring us to become commercially orientated and to forgo our ‘not for profit’ culture. Accordingly, change will be required to our Boxing Australia and Member Association constitutions. The Board is working to best meet the required changes and will be seeking Member Association approval of them in 2013. An important development in 2012 was Boxing Australia’s resumption of a close association with the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) through our Chief Executive’s office and our coaching services being based at the AIS’s Canberra campus. And, working relationships with other organisations, including university and commercial organizations, are being advanced. But, it is clear that if Boxing Australia is to develop our sport that in addition to our boxer Talent Identification and Development and High Performance Programs that we need, also, to increase the boxer participation numbers in our sport. Initiatives by the Board to achieve this goal are being pursued. And, a
Referees and Judges Development Program has been created and is being implemented. Additionally, attention to Coaching development and training is being pursued. Development of the Women’s High Performance Boxing Program will continue and we will have a team at the 2013 Women’s Youth and Junior World Championships. A new initiative that the Board will be presenting to Member Associations is provision of assistance with administrative services through a common interactive website base. The opportunity to participate in this initiative will be made available in 2013. Those who attended will be aware that in Hobart in February, 2012, Boxing Australia conducted its largest ever Australian Championships. Thank you to all who assisted and made it possible, in particular, Boxing Tasmania and its members. In March, 2012, the Oceania Men’s Olympic Qualifying Event was hosted by Boxing Australia at the AIS, Canberra. Again, thank you to all who assisted and made it possible, in particular, Boxing ACT and its members. Congratulations to our Australian men boxers who for the first time ever made it a ‘clean sweep’ for Australia by qualifying in every men’s weight category for an Olympic Games. In Melbourne, also in March, 2012, the Women’s Elite World Championships Selection Trials was held. Thank you to all who assisted and made it possible, in particular, Boxing Victoria and its members. Similarly, in Brisbane in September, 2012, the Men’s Youth World Championships Selection Trials was held. Thank you to all who assisted and made it possible, in particular, Boxing Queensland and its members. In 2012, in addition to our High Performance Teams, Australia was represented
6 BOXING AUSTRALIA | ANNUAL REPORT | 2011-12
internationally by Australian Teams at the Elite Women’s World Championships, the London Olympic Games, and by our Youth and Junior Teams at an Oceania Youth and Junior multi-nation competition in Tahiti. And, shortly, our Australian Youth Team will compete in the Men’s Youth World Championships to be held in Yerevan, Armenia. Greater detail of our boxers’ performances is provided later in this Report. Boxing Australia’s profile is growing through our boxer’s international performances and our representation on AIBA committees and commissions – but the ‘challenge’ is still before us to win elite men’s and women’s world championships and ‘gold’ at an Olympic Games. I wish to thank the Australian Sports Commission (ASC) for its sponsorship of
Boxing Australia and through it our sport. Without the ASC’s generous support our sport could not be conducted and our teams represent Australia. Additionally, the support of the Australian Commonwealth Games Association and the Australian Olympic Committee of our Australian Teams is gratefully received and appreciated. In conclusion, let there be no doubt that 2013 will present us with big challenges, but we can convert them into big opportunities – let us convert them and grasp the opportunities created and make our sport prosper more than it ever has done before. With my best wishes to all, Ted Tanner Chairperson Boxing Australia

MESSAGE FROM THE AUSTRALIAN SPORTS
COMMISSION //
The Australian Government is committed to getting more Australians participating and excelling in sport. Sport not only inspires and unites us as a nation, it also
motivates us to get involved and active. The staging of the Olympic and Paralympic Games is an exciting time for all Australians, and highlights the substantial contribution of sport to our community, from athletes competing at the Games to those involved in weekend club competition and social play, as well as parents and volunteers. Australia’s performance at the London Olympic and Paralympic Games is the culmination of extensive long-term efforts across the Australian high performance system. Following the Games, there will be opportunities to celebrate the successes and critically review our next steps to ensure we focus and align our efforts to deliver the best possible results in the next Olympic and Paralympic cycle. It is two years since the Australian Government delivered its new vision for sport in ‘Australian Sport: The Pathway to Success’ and substantially increased ongoing funding to the Australian Sports Commission. Since then, we have focused on implementing our new plans, delivering key programs, supporting national sporting organisations (NSOs) to deliver participation and high performance outcomes (as well as building their capacity), and building collaboration, alignment and effectiveness within the Australian sport sector.
The announcement in the May 2012 Budget of the continuation of the Active After-school Communities program will ensure we carry on providing primary school-aged children with a positive introduction to sport. We will continue working with sporting organisations at all levels to ensure the program provides maximum value to sports and supports the transition of program participants into local clubs. Linked to the London Olympic and Paralympic Games, the Prime Minister’s Olympic and Paralympic Challenges will encourage and inspire children to participate in sport and to get active, have fun and earn rewards. This initiative, as well as participation funding programs delivered by NSOs, continues the Australian Government’s commitment to ensuring more people can access sport and all the benefits it provides. The support received from the Australian Government for Australian sport is essential and plays an integral role in connecting our young sporting participants with their dreams of podium success in the future.
This is an exciting and challenging time for Australian sport. The Australian Sports Commission looks forward to working with sporting organisations, state and territory institutes and academies of sport, and state and territory departments of sport and recreation, to promote access to, and participation in, sport across the community, and supporting Australia’s continued sporting success. Mr David Gallop Acting Chairman Board of the Australian Sports Commission 30 June 2012

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S REPORT //
This year has been
another busy and
productive year for
Boxing Australia (BAI)
as we continue to
move forward since
the delivery of the

DEVELOPMENT REPORT //
The overall success of Boxing Australia relies
heavily on the growth of development,
participation and community interaction
within the sport. Sports Development is one
of the key core business areas for Boxing
Australia. It covers a variety of areas including
participation, coach education, officiating,
indigenous participation, female participation
and non-contact programs.
While there is still a long way to go, some
major in-roads were taken in 2011/12.
Box’Tag took further developments, Deadly
Boxing was established, our R&J’s were given
program funding and our coach education
package and course started to be reviewed.
PARTICIPATION
Boxing Australia had a slight reduction (10.6%)
in participation in 2011/12 (1955 registered
boxers) compared to 2010/11 (2118
registered boxers)
Opportunity exists to capture new markets
such as Box’Tag and the fitness industry.
Some Member Associations also have a non-
combat membership for non-contact or
fitness boxing. There recorded number is an
additional 179 registered members. The
inclusion of those participants would see a
very minor increase in participation.

NCAS ADMINISTRATION
Boxing Australia renew its agreement with the
Australian Sports Commission’s National
Coach Accreditation Scheme in 2011.
The agreement will allow Boxing Australia to
conduct Level 1 Coaching Courses around
Australia.
The agreement and the NCAS program is
critical to Boxing Australia’s Coach Education
program, as it allows for a standardised
learning environment ensuring all potential
coaches are taught the basic elements of
boxing and the requirements associated with
being a coach.

messages, while trying to build capacity by
leaving the community with resources and
skills.

The logo design was to represent the
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island heritage in
each corner, the 5 dots represent the boxing
judges, and the small red dots represent the
indigenous crowd, all assembled around the
ring.
In 2011/12, Boxing Australia ran the new
initiative starting in the 2012 calendar year.
Three camps were conducted, two being in
Northern Territory and one in Queensland.
These camps were conducted in Tennant

level. Boxing Australia with the AIS and CSIRO
signed off on an extended 18 month field trial
of the Automated Impact Sensing System
(AISS).
Boxing Australia appointed Dr Allan Hahn into
an honorary position of Box’Tag Coordinator
to allow Dr Hahn to fine tune the technology
and grow the program.
Box’Tag training programs were developed
and continued to operate at Strongarm
Boxing & Fitness Centre in Sydney, the
Healthy Buzz Boxing Fitness Centre in
Melbourne and the Erindale PCYC in
Canberra.
R&J DEVELOPMENT
Thanks to the Referee & Judge Committee led
by Wayne Rose a number of structures and
policies changed to align with the
International Federation. The committee also
worked hard to improve activity and meet the
needs of all RJs.
The RJ Committee rewrote the Accreditation
Policy and changed the assessment structure
whereby levels would now be defined as 1-
Star, 2-Star and 3-Star.

VALE – JOHN DAVIES//
John Davies gave 40 plus years honorary
service to amateur boxing.
In 1967 he answered a newspaper
advertisement seeking referees and judges
and proceeded to give 44 years’ service to our
sport culminating in six years as President of
Boxing Victoria until his death in November,
2011.
The highest point in John’s R&J career was his
appointment to officiate at the 1984 Los
Angeles Olympic Games.
He epitomised how a good referee should
appear and behave; of smart appearance,
immaculately outfitted, deliberate and
controlled in action, authoritative but not
harsh, and very, very competent. It can be
reasonably claimed that John was Australia’s
best referee of his generation.
John served in many capacities in his long
service for our sport among which were 15
years as a Council member of the Australian
Amateur Boxing Union /Boxing Australia, even
longer as a member of the national R&J
Committee, and 17 years as Vice-President of
Boxing Victoria.
However, the most notable feature of John
was his personality; unselfish, kind, intelligent
and measured, he was a true gentleman.
It should, also, be recorded that when it came
to standing up for good he would always be
steadfastly at the very forefront; at the age of
sixteen he ran away from home and joined
the Royal Navy to serve his country in its hour
of need, ‘marched’ home by his father he
prevailed upon him the following year to
allow him to serve in the merchant navy
(John’s father, obviously, was not aware of
the high fatality rate in that service).
Following the War, and still a young man,
John left Wales to build a life in Australia
where he and his wife raised their family. And
then, when finally he had some time to spare,
he saw that newspaper advertisement.

1 Statement 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 Incorporated Act VIC. The board has determined that the association is not a reporting entity. The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historic 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 stated otherwise, have been adopted in the preparation of this financial report.
Inventories Inventories are measured at the lower cost and net realisable value. The cost of manufactured products includes direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate portion of variable and fixed overheads. Overheads are applied on the basis of normal operating capacity. Costs are assigned on a first-in first-out basis.
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
Depreciation The depreciation method and useful life used for items of property, plant and equipment (excluding freehold land) reflects the pattern in which their future economic benefits are expected to be consumed by the association. Depreciation commences from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. The depreciation method and useful life of the asset is reviewed annually to ensure they are still appropriate.

Impairment of Assets At the end of each reporting period, the association assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The assessment will consider both external and internal sources of information. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of that asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and its value-in-use, to the asset’s carrying amount. Any excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its recoverable amount is immediately recognised in profit or loss.
Intangibles Accounts Receivable and Other Receivables Accounts receivable are recognised initially at the transaction price (i.e. cost) and are subsequently measured at cost less provision for impairment. Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are classified as current assets. All other receivables are classified as non-current assets. At the end of each reporting period, the carrying amount of accounts receivable and other receivables are reviewed to determine whether there is any objective evidence that the amounts are not recoverable. If so, an impairment loss is recognised immediately in income and expenditure statement.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at-call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet.
Revenue and Other Income Revenue is measure 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. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point of delivery as this corresponds to the transfer of significant risk and rewards of ownership of the goods and cessation of all involvement in those goods. Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method, which for floating rate financial assets is the rate inherent in the instrument. All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

Accounts Payable and Other Payables Accounts payable and other payables represent the liabilities at the end of the reporting period for goods and services received by the association that remain unpaid. Accounts payable are recognised at their transaction price. Accounts payable are obligations on the basis of normal credit terms.
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 Australian Tax Office (ATO). Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included with other receivables or payables in the balance sheet.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF BOXING AUSTRALIA INCORPORATED
A.B.N. 92 053 773 201
Report on the Financial Report
I have audited the accompanying financial report, being a special purpose financial report, of Boxing
Australia Incorporated (the association), which comprises the balance sheet as at 30 June 2012, and
the income and expenditure statement, a summary of significant accounting policies, other
explanatory information and the statement by members of the board.
Board’s Responsibility for the Financial Report
The board of Boxing Australia Incorporated is responsible for the preparation of the financial report,
and has determined that the basis of preparation described in Note 1 is appropriate to meet the
requirements of the Associations Incorporations Act VIC 1981 and is appropriate to meet the needs
of the members. The board’s responsibility also includes such internal control as the board
determines is necessary to enable the preparation of a financial report that is free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
My responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on my audit. No opinion is
expressed as to whether the accounting policies used, as described in Note 1, are appropriate to
meet the needs of the members. I conducted my audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing
Standards. These Auditing Standards require that I comply with relevant ethical requirements
relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and
disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgement,
including the assessment of the risks material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to
fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to
the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made
by the board, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.
I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
my audit opinion.
