There are 1,153 characters in this advertisement. Not one more, not one less.
You can count them if you like.* But theres really no need, we do it for a living.
At the CAB we audit newspapers, magazines, websites and exhibitions to
make sure you are getting all of what you are paying so much for. People.
You want to know how many people are receiving the publication, visiting
the website or even attending the trade show that you are either paying
big dollars to advertise with or spending your client dollars on. There is
a lot of money at stake, but a surprisingly large number of advertisers
and media agencies seem to just trust the numbers they are given by
unaudited media. We just dont understand why. Why would a media
agency risk a client finding out they are paying too much? Why would
an advertiser risk paying too much for too little? Put your mind at rest,
insist that you only use media that has been CAB audited. Hopefully, we
will find that the numbers are fine. But ask yourself this, what kind of media
outlet wouldnt want to be audited? We think you can work that out for
yourself. Look after your investment, look out for CAB audited websites,
publications, exhibitions and other media. www.auditbureau.org.au
You can
count on us.
*Go ahead, if we are wrong well gladly send you an iPad 2. But dont hold your breath.

Presidents ReportMr Rob Yeomans
ach year the CAB moves forward with positive programmes to assist themembership, and the past year has been no exception with many firsts such asthe first auditor accreditation programme, first business development managerappointed and more recently the first CAB conference. The CAB has beenextremely busy working to ensure it meets the demands of the expanding facets
of media.Our inaugural conference Accountability in Ad Spend, held at the Sydney Hilton inJuly, addressed the changing needs of media providers and media suppliers alike.Wed like to thank all those who attended and supported the event in its inaugural
year and look forward to continuing the discussion in 2012.
The CAB has continued its investment in people in 2011. In May 2011 we welcomed Margaret Crichtonto the CAB team. She joins the organisation from her role as general manager at the Exhibition & EventAssociation of Australasia (EEAA) with her initial focus on the CAB's Exhibition audit services. Expectmore details of the updated service shortly.
CABs web audit service has also continued to grow over the past year. In the two years since itslaunch, digital services manager Alexx Cass has grown the membership to 255 sites and tackled the
issue of auto-refresh head on, with the Green Tick campaign.
We also launched a marketing programme aimed directly at agencies and advertisers. The results ofthis are starting to come in and it appears that the ads: are effective in creating awareness of the CAB.This programme will be continuing over the second half of the year.
For the 2010-2011 financial year the CAB has reported a profit after tax of $75,419 attributed largely tothe uptake of our audit services.
The CAB Boards continued investment in new services alongside the traditional print audits has helpedensure the financial security of the organisation as the global financial crisis continues to reverberatearound the world.
The Board would like to recognise the work of the CAB secretariat in its continued hard work to deliverpositive financial results in what has been an extremely busy year for the organisation.
The end of this financial year will mark the end of my time as CAB president. After 20 years on theBoard and 10 years as President, I am stepping down and embracing retirement. I would like to thankall of the Board members past and present who have made my time with the CAB so enjoyable. Iwould particularly like to thank my Vice President Adrian Farrow who will also be stepping down thisyear. Adrian joined the Board in 2000 and has been an integral member ever since. He steps downfollowing the sale of his company Westwick-Farrow Media to Universal Magazines.
Treasurer John Engisch will also be stepping down from his position on the Board. John has steeredthe finances of the CAB with great success over the past year and his hard work has contributed to thecontinued financial success of the organisation.

I look forward to watching the continued good work of the CAB in 2012.

Treasurers ReportMr John Engisch
s the President has mentioned, we finished the year with a profit after tax of$75,419, compared with a budgeted surplus of $28,796.
This major turn around was due in no small part to the diligent efforts and day today financial management by the Secretariat.
A key factor impacting the result was further growth in member audits. Thisgrowth has allowed the CAB Board to release additional marketing expenditure
of $100,000 to fund a marketing programme, which included initiatives, such as the inaugural CABmember Conference held earlier this year and several activities carried forward from 2009/2010.
This very positive result also means that our Reserves have increased from $805,335 for 2010 to$880,754 for 2011.
Unfortunately, I will be stepping down from the role of Treasurer after a year in the position andleaving the CAB Board. I have been involved with the Board since 2008 and am leaving it in sound
financial shape. During my tenure, the organisation has been quick to adapt to the new digitalenvironment and the developments in this area will ensure the organisations future growth andsuccess. I would like to thank the Board and the Secretariat for all their hard work and wish themembers well as we enter the 2011-2012 financial year.

Notes to the Financial
Statements
For the Year Ended June 30 2011
1 Statement of Significant Accounting Policies
This financial report is a special purpose financial report prepared in order to satisfy the financialreporting requirements of the Associations Incorporation Act . The committee has determined thatthe association is not a reporting entity.
The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historic costs and doesnot take into account changing money values or, except where specifically stated, currentvaluations of non-current assets.
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistent with the previous period unlessotherwise stated, have been adopted in the preparation of this financial report.
Income TaxIncome TaxIncome TaxIncome Tax
The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) anddeferred tax expense (income).
Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income.Current tax liabilities (assets) are measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from)the relevant taxation authority.
Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilitybalances during the year as well as unused tax losses.
Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead
of profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity.
Except for business combinations, no deferred income tax is recognised from the initial recognitionof an asset or liability where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to theperiod when the asset is realised or the liability is settled and their measurement also reflects themanner in which the committee expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the relatedasset or liability.
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only tothe extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits ofthe deferred tax asset can be utilised.

Leasehold improvements and office equipment are carried at cost less, where applicable, anyaccumulated depreciation.
The depreciable amount of all PPE is depreciated over the useful lives of the assets to theassociation commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.
Leasehold improvements are amortised over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the leaseor the estimated useful lives of the improvements.
Impairment of AssetsImpairment of AssetsImpairment of AssetsImpairment of Assets
At the end of each reporting period, the association reviews the carrying valuesof its tangible andintangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have beenimpaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of theasset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset's carrying value. Ayexcess of the asset's carrying value over its recoverable amount is recognised immediately in theincome and expenditure statement.
Cash and Cash EquivalenCash and Cash EquivalenCash and Cash EquivalenCash and Cash Equivalentstststs

Stage of completion is determined with reference to the servicesperformed to date as a percentage of total anticipated services to be performed. Where theoutcome cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent that relatedexpenditure is recoverable.

Report on the Financial ReportReport on the Financial ReportReport on the Financial ReportReport on the Financial Report
I have audited the accompanying financial report, being a special purpose financial report, of Circulations
Audit Board (the association), which comprises the balance sheet as at 30 June 2011, and the incomestatement, a summary of significant accounting policies, other explanatory information and the statement bymembers of the committee.
Committee's Responsibility for the Financial ReportCommittee's Responsibility for the Financial ReportCommittee's Responsibility for the Financial ReportCommittee's Responsibility for the Financial Report
The committee of Circulations Audit Board is responsible for the preparation of the financial report, and hasdetermined that the basis of preparation described in Note 1 is appropriate to meet the requirements of theand is appropriate to meet the needs of the members. The committee's responsibility also includes suchinternal control as the committee determines is necessary to enable the preparation of a financial report thatis free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's ResponsibilityAuditor's ResponsibilityAuditor's ResponsibilityAuditor's Responsibility
My responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on my audit. No opinion is expressedas to whether the accounting policies used, as described in Note 1, are appropriate to meet the needs ofthe members. I conducted my audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These AuditingStandards require that I comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and planand perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from materialmisstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in thefinancial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment ofthe risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those riskassessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentationof the financial report 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. An audit alsoincludes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accountingestimates made by the committee, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.
I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my auditopinion.

In conducting my audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of Australian professionalethical pronouncements.
