Financial Statements




2094 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE No. 91

Basis of Opinion

An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. It also includes assessing:

  • the significant estimates and judgments made by the trustees in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements,
    and
  • whether the accounting policies are appropriate to circumstances of the trust, consistently applied and adequately disclosed.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in New Zealand. We planned and performed our audit so as to obtain all the information and explanations which we considered necessary in order to provide us with sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatements, whether caused by fraud or error. In forming our opinion we also evaluated the overall adequacy of the presentation of information in the consolidated financial statements.

Other than in our capacity as auditors we have no relationship with or interests in the trust.

Unqualified Opinion

We have obtained all the information and explanations we have required.

In our opinion the financial report fairly reflect the financial position of the Waikato Community Trust Incorporated Group as at 31 March 1998 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Our audit was completed on 29 May 1998 and our unqualified opinion is expressed as at that date.

DELOITTE TOUCHE TOHMATSU, Hamilton.
