Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Board of Directors of Outside Looking In
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Outside Looking In, which comprise the statement of financial position as at June 30, 2014, and the statement of operations and changes in net deficiency and cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management's responsibility for the financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements 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 also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audit is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion. Basis for qualified opinion
In common with many charities, Outside Looking In derives revenue from fundraising and awareness events and donations, the completeness of which is not susceptible to satisfactory audit verification. Accordingly, our verification of this revenue was limited to the amounts recorded in the records of Outside Looking In and we were not able to determine whether any adjustment might be necessary to revenue, excess (deficiency) of revenue over expenditures, assets and net deficiency.
Opinion
In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the matter described in the basis for qualified opinion paragraph, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Outside Looking In as at June 30, 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations.
Other matter
The financial statements as at June 30, 2013 and for the year then ended were audited by another firm of chartered accountants, who expressed an opinion without reservation, except for the completeness of revenues, as noted above.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Year ended June 30, 20141. Nature of operations
Outside Looking In (the "Organization") is incorporated, without share capital, under the Canada Corporations Act as a not-for-profit organization. The purpose of the Organization is to provide opportunities for self-expression to Indigenous youth through the arts and to educate Canadians on Indigenous people through their performances. The Organization is a registered charity exempt from income tax under the Income Tax Act.
2. Significant accounting policies
These financial statements are prepared in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations. The significant policies are detailed as follows:
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The most significant estimates relate to the value of in-kind contributions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue recognition
Outside Looking In follows the deferral method of accounting for contributions. Unrestricted contributions are recognized as revenue when the amount is measurable and ultimate collection is reasonably assured. Restricted contributions are deferred until the period in which the related expenses are incurred.
In-kind contributions
The Organization receives sponsorships in-kind from various contributors throughout the year. In-kind contributions are valued by the contributor and market value is agreed to by the Organization, based on the sponsorships provided, and included at the agreed upon rate on the statement of operations and changes in net deficiency.
Contributed services
Volunteers contribute time to assist the Organization in carrying out its art program. Because of the difficulty of determining their fair value, contributed services are not recognized in the financial statements.
Merchandise inventory
Inventory, primarily consisting of finished goods, is valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method.

Equipment
Equipment is recorded at cost. The Organization provides for amortization using the declining balance method at rates designed to amortize the cost of the equipment over its estimated useful life. The annual amortization rates are as follows:
Computer equipment 30%
Furniture and fixtures 20%
Financial instruments
The Organization's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, HST receivable, cash and outstanding cheques, accounts payable, and advances from related parties.
Cash, accounts receivable, HST receivable and accounts payable are measured at fair value. The Organization subsequently measures all of its financial assets and financial liabilities at amortized cost with the exception of advances from related parties, which are stated at cost, as the amortized cost of the advances is not determinable.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Year ended June 30, 20146. Financial instruments
The Organization is exposed to various risks through its financial instruments. The following analysis provides a measure of the Organization's risk exposures and concentrations at June 30, 2014
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Organization will encounter difficulty in meeting its obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Organization is, therefore, exposed to liquidity risk with respect to its cash and outstanding cheques, accounts payable and advances from related parties. The Organization reduces its exposure to liquidity risk by ensuring that it
documents when authorized payments are due. Credit risk
Credit risk arises as a result of the potential non-performance by counterparties of contract obligations which could lead to a financial loss to the Organization. The Organization's credit risk relates to its amounts receivable. In the opinion of management, the credit risk exposure to the Organization is not significant due to the nature of the amounts receivable.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of or future cash flows from a financial instrument will fluctuate because of market changes in interest rates. The Organization was not exposed to fluctuations in interest rates as it had no interest-bearing debt.
