Official Information Request - 30 March 2019

Sent: Monday, 8 April 2019 10:47 a.m.

Subject: LGOIMA question - RED figures on page 182 of the 2017/18 Annual Report

I refer to your email of 30 March 2019 querying the 'deficit' amount referred to in the first paragraph on page 182 of the Annual Report 2018 regarding Rotorua Economic Development Limited.

The word 'deficit' is an error and the sentence should have read 'The surplus(2017: -deficit) for the year of $368,870 (2017: -$1,420) is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Revenue and Expense'. Council apologises for the confusion this may have caused, and thanks you for bringing this to our attention. Thank you also for bringing to our attention the small spelling mistake on page 192.

As per the Act, we are obliged to advise that you may contact the Ombudsman at the address below if you have any concerns with the response provided by Council, by writing to:

The Office of the Ombudsman

PO Box 10 152

WELLINGTON 6143
