ASB COMMUNITY TRUST

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2013

13. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

During the year Trustees and staff were required to declare either a direct or indirect conflict of interest in any matters being considered by the Trust. A register of interests is maintained by the Trust.

At the commencement of a meeting, Trustees are asked to disclose any interest in the upcoming business. A Trustee who has an interest in any matter before the meeting must not be counted in the quorum present at the meeting, not vote in respect of the matter, and absent him/herself from discussion or consideration of the matter. If, because of the number of Trustees who have an interest in the matter the meeting would fail for want of a quorum and it is a meeting of a Committee of Trustees, the matter is referred to a meeting of the Board of Trustees. If a meeting of the Board of Trustees would fail for want of a quorum because of the number of Trustees with an interest in the matter under consideration, then those Trustees who have the interest must sign a certificate for entry in the minutes certifying that the matter is in the best interest of the Trust and cause details of the matter and the nature of the Trustee’s interest to be included in the next financial statements of the Trust.

At their meeting on 10 December 2012 the Trustees resolved to effect Trustee Liability Insurance for the sum of $10 million at a premium cost of $19,710 (2012: $21,840).

After due consideration of a report from the Trust’s insurance brokers and other relevant information, all of the Trustees approved the purchase of the Trustee Liability Insurance by signing a resolution to that affect, along with a certificate certifying that the transaction was in the best interests of the Trust.

14. MATERIAL EVENTS AFTER BALANCE DATE

There were no material events after balance date which required adjustment to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2013.
