Tēnā koe Monica
Thank you for your email of 18 December 2023 to the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment
(MBIE) requesting, under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following information:
Could you please provide a copy of the audited financial statements and accounts of the Electrical
Workers Registration Board.
The Electrical Workers Registration Board (EWRB) is a Statutory Board created under the provisions of the
Electricity Act 1992. The EWRB’s revenue and expenditure are managed by MBIE and are accounted for
within the MBIE financial statements. There is no separate financial statement prepared for the EWRB.
The latest audited MBIE financial statement for the year ended 30 June 2023 is publicly available
at:
Annual Report 2022/23: Growing Aotearoa New Zealand For All (mbie.govt.nz).
MBIE is therefore refusing your request under sections 18(e) and 18(d) of the Act, as the specific
information you requested does not exist, but information relevant to your request is publicly available.
If you wish to discuss any aspect of your request or this response, or if you require any further assistance,
please contact
[email address].
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision. Information
about how to make a complaint is available
at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802
602.
