Statement of responsibility (2023)

I am responsible, as Chief Executive of Te Tari Taake Inland Revenue, for:

• the preparation of the Te Tari Taake Inland Revenue's financial statements, and statements of expenses and capital expenditure, and for the judgements expressed in them;
• having in place a system of internal controls designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the integrity and reliability of financial reporting;
• ensuring that end-of-year performance information on each appropriation administered by Te Tari Taake Inland Revenue is provided in accordance with sections 19A to 19C of the Public Finance Act 1989, whether or not that information is included in this Annual Report; and
• the accuracy of any end-of-year performance information prepared by Te Tari Taake Inland Revenue, whether or not that information is included in this Annual Report.

In my opinion:

• the Annual Report fairly reflects the operations, progress and organisational health and capability of Te Tari Taake Inland Revenue;
• the financial statements fairly reflect the financial position of Te Tari Taake Inland Revenue as at 30 June 2023 and its operations for the year ended on that date; and
• the forecast financial statements fairly reflect the forecast financial position of Te Tari Taake Inland Revenue as at 30 June 2024 and its operations for the year ending on that date.
