Statement of Responsibility

In terms of the Public Finance Act 1989, I am responsible, as Chief Executive of the New Zealand Defence Force, for the preparation of the New Zealand Defence Force’s financial statements and statement of service performance, and for the judgements made in them.

I have the responsibility of establishing and maintaining, and I have established and maintained, a system of internal control designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the integrity and reliability of financial reporting.

In my opinion, these financial statements and statement of service performance fairly reflect the financial position and operations of the New Zealand Defence Force for the year ended 30 June 2008.
