INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 

TO THE MEMBERS OF KIP MCGRATH EDUCATION CENTRES LIMITED 

Report on the Financial Report 

Opinion 

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  financial  report  of  Kip  McGrath  Education  Centres  Limited  (the 
company),  which  comprises  the  consolidated  statement  of  financial  position  as  at  30  June  2017,  the 
consolidated  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive  income,  the  consolidated  statement  of 
changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a 
summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration 
of  the  company  and  the  consolidated  entity  comprising  the  company  and  the  entities  it  controlled  at  the 
year’s end or from time to time during the financial year. 

In  our  opinion,  the  financial  report  of  Kip  McGrath  Education  Centres  Limited  is  in  accordance  with  the 
Corporations Act 2001, including: 

a)  Giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2017 and of 

its performance for the year ended on that date; and 

b)  Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. 

Basis for Opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we 
comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to 
obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  financial  report  is  free  from  material  misstatement.  Our 
responsibilities  under  those  standards  are  further  described  in  the  Auditor’s  Responsibility  section  of  our 
report.  

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our 
opinion.  

Independence 

We are independent of the consolidated entity in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical 
requirements  of  the  Accounting  Professional  and  Ethical  Standards  Board’s  APES  110  Code  of  Ethics  for

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

As  discussed  in  note  10,  as  at  30  June  2017,  the

Kip McGrath Education Centres Limited    ABN 73 003 415 889  |  Annual Report 20172.  Area Developer Termination payments (one-off transaction) 

Why significant 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

During  the  year,  KMEC  entered  into  a  confidential 
termination  agreement  with  an  Australian  Area 
Developer ("AD”) which allows KMEC to regain the rights 
bestowed  under  this  AD  arrangement.  For  this  right, 
KMEC  agreed  to  pay  an  upfront  payment  in  full  and 
capitalised  the  purchase  as  an  intangible  asset  at  15 
December  2016.  As  at  30  June  2017  the  written  down 
value of this intangible asset has been included as a part 
of  Note  10  in  the  financial  statements  under  “Other 
intangible assets”. 

We  reviewed  the  AD  termination  agreement  and 
ensured  the  asset  was  capitalised  appropriately, 
traced  payment  to  bank  and  we  recalculated  the 
corresponding amortisation to ensure it was correct at 
30 June 2017. 

We  deemed  management's  decision  to  amortise  the 
AD  termination  asset  over  five  years  as  reasonable 
given  the  timeframe  of  expected  future  economic 
benefits and customer churn. 

Other Information 

Other  information  is  financial  and  non-financial  information  in  the  annual  report  of  the  company  which  is 
provided in addition to the Financial Report and the Auditor’s Report. The directors are responsible for Other 
Information in the annual report. 

The Other Information we obtained prior to the date of this Auditor’s Report was the Director’s Report. The 
remaining Other Information is expected to be made available to us after the date of the Auditor’s Report. 

Our opinion on the Financial Report does not cover the Other Information and, accordingly, the auditor does 
not and will not express an audit opinion or any form of assurance conclusion thereon, with the exception of 
the Remuneration Report. 

In  connection  with  our  audit  of  the  Financial  Report,  our  responsibility  is  to  read  the  Other  Information.  In 
doing so, we consider whether the Other Information is materially inconsistent with the Financial Report or 
our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. 

We are required to report if we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this Other Information in 
the Financial Report and based on the work we have performed on the Other Information that we obtained 
prior to the date of this Auditor’s Report we have nothing to report. 

Directors’ Responsibilities for the Financial Report 

The Directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and 
fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such 
internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that 
gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.  In Note 1, 
the  Directors  also  state,  in  accordance  with  Australian  Accounting  Standard  AASB  101  Presentation  of 
Financial Statements, that the financial report complies with International Financial Reporting Standards. 

In preparing the financial report, the Directors are responsible for assessing the consolidated entity’s ability 
to  continue  as  a  going  concern,  disclosing,  as  applicable,  matters  related  to  going  concern  and  using  a 
going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the consolidated entity or to 
cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit.  Our objectives are to

misstatement,  whether  due  to  fraud  or  error,  and  to  issue  and  auditor’s  report  that  includes  our  opinion. 

Reasonable  assurance  is  a  high  level  of  assurance,  but  is  not  a  guarantee  that  an  audit  conducted  in 

accordance  with  Australian  Auditing  Standards  will  always  detect  a  material  misstatement  when  it  exists. 

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individual or in aggregate, they 

could  reasonably  be  expected  to  influence  the  economic  decisions  of  users  taken  on  the  basis  of  this 

As part of an  audit in accordance  with  Australian Auditing  Standards,  we exercise professional judgement

The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including assessment of the risks of 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 of the financial report that gives a true 

and fair view 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.  

The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from

We  conclude  on  the  appropriateness  of  the  Directors’  use  of  the  going  concern  basis  of  accounting  and, 

based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions 

that  may  cast  significant  doubt  on  the  consolidated  entity’s  ability  to  continue  as  a  going  concern.  If  we 

conclude that a material  uncertainty  exists,  we are required to  draw attention in  our auditor’s report to the 

related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our 

conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future 

events or conditions may cause the consolidated entity to cease to continue as a going concern. 

We evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, 

and  whether  the  financial  report  represents  the  underlying  transactions  and  events  in  a  manner  that 

achieves fair presentation. 

We obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business 

activities within the consolidated entity to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for 

the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

audit  and  significant  audit  findings,  including  any  significant  deficiencies  in  internal  control  that  we  identify 
during our audit.  

The  Auditing  Standards  require  that  we  comply  with  relevant  ethical  requirements  relating  to  audit 
engagements. We also provide the Directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical 
requirements  regarding  independence,  and  to  communicate  with  them  all  relationships  and  other  matters 
that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.  

From  the  matters  communicated  with  the  Directors,  we  determine  those  matters  that  were  of  most 
significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore key audit matters. We 
describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the 
matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated
