Reporting of Provision for Financial Guarantees in Annual Report 2015/16

Michael Osborne made this Official Information request to Masterton District Council

The request was successful.

From: Michael Osborne

Dear Masterton District Council,

In the Masterton District Council Annual Report 2015/16 on page 140 is the reporting of Provision for Financial Guarantees and the first section is NZ Local Government Funding Agency. The report states, "At 30 June 2016, NZLGFA had lent $6.22 billion (2015: $4.955 billion). Financial reporting standards require Masterton District Council to recognise the guarantee liability at fair value. However, the Council has been unable to determine a sufficiently reliable fair value for the guarantee and therefore has not recognised a liability."

1. When was the "the guarantee liability at fair value" for NZLGFA last reported/recognised (in accordance with Financial Reporting Standards) and what was the fair value at that time?
2. Please supply all relevant documentation (emails, documents, whiteboard printouts, reports, spreadsheets etc and any other formats) pertaining to the process of and the determination of fair value of the guarantee liability for NZLGFA in the Annual Report 2015/16.

Yours faithfully,
Michael B Osborne
