Paul Yeo, Executive Manager & Board Secretary
Kia OraIt is my pleasure to present the Visitor Information
Network Incorporated (VIN Inc) 2016/2017
Annual Report at our 2017 Annual Conference
in Ruapehu. Our theme this year is ‘Engaging in
Excellence’.
This Annual Report sets out our financial and service
performance based on the Annual Plan, drawn up
under the 2013-2016 Strategic Plan. This was then
superseded halfway through the financial year by our
current 2017-2020 Strategic Plan.
From a financial perspective, a highlight of this past
year has been the investment in our new campaign
creative and photographic assets, closely aligned with
Tourism New Zealand’s award winning 100% Pure
New Zealand campaign. This alignment is something
our members have long been asking for so it has been
hugely satisfying to have delivered on this. Not only do
both the i-SITE and 100% Pure New Zealand brands
now sit side by side in our advertising but also in a
range of collateral ranging from new welcome signs
and digital displays to our revamped Touring Map that
highlights the breadth of our network.
We have also continued to heavily invest in training
across the network to ensure we continue to enhance
our professionalism and knowledge base as well as
financially support our annual conference and annual
local government owner’s day. Both of these events
help to improve our communication and strengthen
our value proposition with our biggest investor, local
government.
So while we have to look backwards from a reporting
sense we are already much more focussed on our
new key themes and actions: evolving and improving
our brand and awareness; productivity, and customer
experience as well as demonstrating to our stakeholders
that we are a valued network.
Our vision is to be the best official visitor information
and booking network in the world. Our strategy states
that ‘how’ we get there will involve using technology transformation, improving our training and knowledge
management and taking a more commercial lead to
reach our goals. Our new member-based focus groups,
initiated following last year’s conference, aim to give you
as members, more say in how we roll out this strategy.
The year ends with a network of 81 full member i-SITEs
– one more than the same time last year – plus two new
centres approved and due to open later in 2017.
However, despite strong growth in international arrivals
and a steady domestic market that translates to more
visitors using i-SITEs we know that these visitors are
spending less with us. This presents a challenge to
many of our owners who need to understand the value
and benefits that we generate both directly and indirectly,
financially and non-financially.
‘Engaging in Excellence’ in all facets of our behaviour is
one way we can demonstrate value to our customers
and our stakeholders to ensure we continue to provide
manaakitanga that our host communities can take
pride in.

Deborah Gray Chair | VIN INC
The Auditor-General is the auditor of Visitor Information Network Incorporated (the Society). The Auditor-
General has appointed me, Henry McClintock, using the staff and resources of BDO Wellington, to carry out the
audit of the financial statements and the performance information, of the Society on his behalf.
Opinion on the financial statements and the
performance information
We have audited:
• the financial statements of the Society on pages 9
to 15, that comprise the statement of financial
position as at 30 June 2017, the statement of
comprehensive revenue and expenses, statement
of changes in equity and statement of cash flows
for the year ended on that date and the notes to
the financial statements including a summary of
significant accounting policies; and
• the performance information of the Society on
pages 7 to 8.
In our opinion:
- the financial statements of the Society on pages 9
to 15:
• present fairly, in all material respects:
- its financial position as at 30 June 2017; and
- its financial performance and cash flows for the
year then ended; and
• comply with generally accepted accounting
practice in New Zealand in accordance with PBE
Simple Format Reporting Framework.
- the performance information on pages 7 to 8:
• presents fairly, in all material respects, the Society’s
performance for the year ended 30 June 2017,
including:
- for each class of reportable outputs:
- its standards of delivery performance
achieved as compared with forecasts
included in the statement of performance
expectations for the financial year; and
- its actual revenue and output expenses as
compared with the forecasts included in
the statement of performance expectations
for the financial year; and
• complies with generally accepted accounting
practice in New Zealand.

V I N I N C A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 1 6 / 2 0 1 7
Our audit was completed on 31 July 2017. This is
the date at which our opinion is expressed.
The basis for our opinion is explained on the page
opposite. In addition, we outline the responsibilities
of the Board and our responsibilities relating to
the financial statements and the performance
information, we comment on other information, and
we explain our independence.
Basis of our opinion
We carried out our audit in accordance with the
Auditor-General’s Auditing Standards, which
incorporate the Professional and Ethical Standards and
the International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand)
issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance
Standards Board. Our responsibilities under those
standards are further described in the Responsibilities
of the auditor section of our report.
We have fulfilled our responsibilities in accordance with
the Auditor-General’s Auditing Standards.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained
is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinion.
Responsibilities of the Board for the financial
statements and the performance information
The Board is responsible on behalf of the Society
for preparing financial statements and performance
information that are fairly presented and comply
with generally accepted accounting practice in New
Zealand. The Board is responsible for such internal
control as they determine is necessary to enable them
to prepare financial statements and performance
information that are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements and the
performance information, the Board are responsible
on behalf of the Society for assessing the Society’s
ability to continue as a going concern. The Board are
also responsible for disclosing, as applicable, matters
related to going concern and using the going concern
basis of accounting, unless there is an intention to
merge or to terminate the activities of the Society, or
there is no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board’s responsibilities arise from the Crown
Entities Act 2004.
Responsibilities of the auditor for the audit of the
financial statements and the performance information
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements and the
performance information, as a whole, are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error,
and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our
opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance,
but is not a guarantee that an audit carried out in
accordance with the Auditor-General’s Auditing
Standards will always detect a material misstatement
when it exists. Misstatements are differences or
omissions of amounts or disclosures, and can arise
from fraud or error. Misstatements are considered
material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could
reasonably be expected to influence the decisions of
readers, taken on the basis of these financial
statements and the performance information.
We did not evaluate the security and controls over the
electronic publication of the financial statements and
the performance information.
As part of an audit in accordance with the
Auditor-General’s Auditing Standards, we exercise
professional judgement and maintain professional
scepticism throughout the audit. Also:
• We identify and assess the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements and the
performance information, whether due to fraud or
error, design and perform audit procedures
responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence
that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for
one resulting from error, as fraud may involve
collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal
control.
• We obtain an understanding of internal control
relevant to the audit 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
Society’s internal control.
• We evaluate the appropriateness of accounting
policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by the Board.
• We evaluate the appropriateness of the reported
performance information within the Society’s
framework for reporting its performance.
• We conclude on the appropriateness of the use of
the going concern basis of accounting by the Board
and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether
5 \\ V I N I N C A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 1 6 / 2 0 1 7
a material uncertainty exists related to events or
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the
Society’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 statements
and the performance information 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
Society to cease to continue as a going concern.
• We evaluate the overall presentation, structure and
content of the financial statements and the
performance information, including the disclosures,
and whether the financial statements and the
performance information represent the underlying
transactions and events in a manner that achieves
fair presentation.
We communicate with the Board regarding, among
other matters, the planned scope and timing of the
audit and significant audit findings, including any
significant deficiencies in internal control that we
identify during our audit.
Our responsibilities arise from the Public Audit
Act 2001.
Independence
We are independent of the Society in accordance with
the independence requirements of the Auditor-General’s
Auditing Standards, which incorporate the
independence requirements of Professional and Ethical
Standard 1 (Revised): Code of Ethics for Assurance
Practitioners issued by the New Zealand Auditing and
Assurance Standards Board.
In addition to the audit we have carried out
engagements in the areas of taxation advice, which
are compatible with those independence
requirements. Other than the audit and these
engagements, we have no relationship with or
interests in the Society.

a new Strategic Plan for 2017-2020 was adopted and this will be used as the basis for our next Annual Business Plans.

VISION
STRATEGY
To operate i-SITE New Zealand as an innovative business which delivers value to member i-SITEs.
The i-SITE network becomes more viable by:
• Helping more international and domestic customers
• Distributing more product for the industry
• Containing or reducing the local government investment required to underwrite the network.
PRODUCTIVITY FOR PROFIT
MEMBER CONNECTIVITYTARGET FOR VALUE INSIGHT

• Increase provision of free WiFi throughout network.
Boost network productivity:
• Re-focus network training
• Improve booking and information systems
• Foster more productive networking
• Develop and share best practice resources
• Grow margin and new revenue streams.
Adequately resource i-SITE New Zealand and review rules to empower members:
• Strong staffing resource in Tourism New Zealand
• Membership fees inflation indexed
• Revise membership criteria to reduce compliance costs
• Encourage regional integration
• Strengthen partnerships with DOC, Qualmark and Ma-ori product.
Increase i-SITE business intelligence & demonstrate value to our stakeholders:
• Invest in more robust monitors of i-SITE economic impacts
• Plan and deliver a local government and industry advocacy programme
• Engage industry support for sustainable commission booking models.
Partnership brand marketing will grow our profile
i-SITE New Zealand will increase the visibility of the network both online and in traditional media primarily around international gateways to ensure that more visitors are influenced by i-SITEs and that economic value is delivered to the visitor sector.
Network productivity will be boosted
The i-SITE Network has a proven influence in encouraging visitors to do more during their New Zealand holiday. i-SITE New Zealand will provide training and a quality assessment programme to increase the value derived from visitors and improve overall satisfaction of visitors that use i-SITEs. This will extend to the recommendation of experiences that, wherever possible, are based on the Qualmark promise. i-SITE New Zealand will also provide member communications, networking opportunities and administrative support to enable members to deliver the best service offerings.
Membership of the network will be enhanced through resourcing i-SITE New Zealand and reviewing our rules and criteria
Tourism New Zealand and members will adequately resource i-SITE New Zealand, enabling it to lead the network and set membership rules and criteria that reduces compliance costs and improves standards leading to greater efficiencies.
Increased i-SITE business intelligence will demonstrate value to our stakeholders
i-SITEs’ substantial connection with visitors, and the geographical reach of the network, provides significant opportunities for the tourism industry. i-SITE New Zealand will manage relationships and demonstrate value to local government and other owners to maintain their major investment in i-SITEs.
This report covers VIN Inc’s (trading as i-SITE New Zealand) service performance for the year ending 30 June 2017 against the forecast statement of activities, performance measures and standards set out in VIN Inc’s Annual Business Plan 2016-2017.
VIN Inc is a controlled entity of Tourism New Zealand, governed by a Board of Directors. The entity is the owner of the i-SITE brand and livery. Tourism New Zealand provides staff, support services, business systems and marketing to raise the profile of the i-SITE network.
i-SITE New Zealand has established membership standards and requirements that individual centres must achieve to use the i-SITE brand, and become a part of the network of centres. These standards are enforced by site inspections of the centres by Qualmark business advisors.
i-SITE New Zealand has identified four strategic outcomes that will result from achieving the vision, mission and goal:

NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING
Reporting Entity
Visitor Information Network Incorporated (VIN Inc) is an incorporated society registered under the Incorporated Societies Act 1908.
Visitor Information Network Incorporated is a crown entity subsidiary as it is controlled by the New Zealand Tourism Board, which is a crown entity under the Crown Entities Act 2004. Control is exercised by the New Zealand Tourism Board through its right, under the VIN Inc constitution dated July 2009, to appoint three directors and the chairman of the management board of six directors.
Basis of Preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, and the accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the period.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Act 2013. They comply with Tier 3 PBE accounting standards and qualify for Tier 3 reporting on the basis that the total expenses for the reporting periods are less than $2m. The financial statements are reported using Simple Format Reporting – Accrual method.

Taxation
Income generated from within the circle of membership is income tax exempt based on the principle of mutuality. The income tax expense recognised in the Statement of Financial Performance is the estimated income tax payable in the current year, adjusted for any differences between the estimated and actual income tax payable in prior periods.
Revenue Recognition
Grants
Grants received are recognised as income, unless specific conditions attach to a grant and repayment of the grant is required where these conditions are not met. In these cases, the grant is treated as a liability until the conditions are met.
