β¨ Audit Report
NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE
No. 117
Qualified opinion β Comparative figures omitted
Paragraph 2.18 of the Electricity Information Disclosure Handbook issued by the Ministry of Commerce permits energy companies to exclude comparative figures where disclosures are made for the first time for the current disclosure year. Central Electric Limited has taken advantage of this exemption and has not disclosed comparative figures in these circumstances. To this extent, the financial statements of Central Electric Limited do not comply with Financial Reporting Standard No. 2, Presentation of Financial Reports, or the Electricity (Information Disclosure) Regulations 1999.
We have obtained all the information and explanations we have required.
In our opinion, proper accounting records have been kept by Central Electric Limited as far as appears from our examination of those records.
In our opinion, except for the omission of comparative figures referred to above, the accompanying financial statements of Central Electric Limited:
- comply with generally accepted accounting practice and
- give a true and fair view of:
- the financial position as at 31 March 1999 and
- the results of its operations and cash flows for the year ended on that date
and
- comply with the Energy (Information Disclosure) Regulations 1999.
Our audit was completed on 17 August 1999 and our opinion is expressed as at that date.
