Solution
Yes, Walker Resort Pty Ltd is required to prepare a financial report. According to the Corporations Act 2001, a proprietary company is considered a large proprietary company, and thus required to prepare a financial report, if it satisfies at least two of the following criteria:
-
The consolidated revenue for the financial year of the company and the entities it controls (if any) is 65 million, which exceeds this threshold.
-
The value of the consolidated gross assets at the end of the financial year of the company and the entities it controls (if any) is 21 million, which also exceeds this threshold.
-
The company and the entities it controls (if any) have 50 or more employees at the end of the financial year. Walker Resort Pty Ltd has 90 employees, which exceeds this threshold as well.
Therefore, despite no direction from ASIC or shareholders for the preparation of a financial report, Walker Resort Pty Ltd is legally obligated to prepare one due to its size.
