Fundraising Auxiliaries
Volunteers are special and within the RSB play a significant role in our ability to provide quality driven services and support to our clients. Their extraordinary dedication, commitment and passion in raising vital funds for people who are blind or vision impaired is sincerely appreciated and acknowledged.
Their boundless energy, time and commitment is evident in their ability in raising awareness and organising fundraising events within their local communities through various activities including annual badge days, fairs, fashion shows, quiz days, merchandise sales and numerous other special functions. Our Murray Bridge and Gawler auxiliaries have been delivering this commitment for more than 30 years – congratulations!

A special thank you to South Australian businesses and organisations that support the RSB Guide Dog Service 365 days a year with an RSB coin collection unit. The funds contributed and awareness these units create about the RSB and the RSB Guide Dog Service are invaluable. Every coin counts towards the $25,000 needed to breed, raise and train an RSB Guide Dog.

++Treasurer’s Report
The RSB’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Reduced Disclose Requirements under AASB1053. BDO has audited these statements and a full set of accounts including an unqualified audit report will be tabled at the RSB’s Annual General Meeting or made available on request.
This Treasurer’s Report has been prepared to provide a concise summary of the RSB’s financial results and to assist readers of the report to better understand the RSB’s financial position.
Operating Results
The underlying deficit from normal operations was $1.89 million compared to $1.79 million for the previous financial year. After adjustments for changes in the market value of investments and property, bequests and other items, our Statement of Comprehensive Income shows a net surplus of $0.68 million compared to a net deficit of $1.94 million for the previous financial year.
Page 43
In the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the RSB has brought to account impairment on its available for sale equity instruments of $8,908, however this loss is offset by revaluation of its available for sale equity instruments of $894,809. There was also a devaluation in land and buildings held by the RSB of $88,270 as at 30/6/13, with the valuation carried out by independent valuers. Hence, the combined result of all revaluations of financial assets and property totalled $797,631.
Net Assets
The Net Assets of the RSB now stand at $36.33 million compared to $35.65 million for the previous financial year. The RSB is in a sound financial position to meet future service requirements.
Services
Over the last financial year, the RSB has provided over 249,000 core service hours to clients.
This result reflects our commitment to meet the increased demand for client services and support.
On behalf of the Board I would particularly like to highlight the importance of benefactors, supporters and the government in maintaining our relatively strong financial position.
The RSB now supports the needs of more than 12,000 South Australians who are blind or vision impaired. The incidence of vision loss in our community will continue to increase in proportion to the ageing of our population, and therefore it is vital that the RSB continues to attract bequests in order to fund future increases in demand for services.
Governance
As noted above, the RSB’s financial statements are audited each year. The Finance and Audit Committee, a sub-committee of the Board of Management (Board), meets monthly to examine the RSB’s financial position in detail and, as Treasurer, I provide a monthly report of these meetings to the Board.
The Investment Sub Committee, a sub committee of the Board, meets three times a year to review the management of the investment portfolio, in order to optimise returns and minimise risk.
Through ongoing strong management practices, the RSB has placed itself in a sound financial position that will enable it to assist people in South Australia who are blind or vision impaired for many years to come.
