Auditor Report

To the readers of the financial statements of West Coast Community Trust:

We have audited the financial report of the trust. The financial report provides information about the past financial performance of the trust and its financial position as at 31 March 1999. This information is stated in accordance with the accounting policies set out.

Trustees’ Responsibilities

The trustees are responsible for the preparation of a financial report which gives a true and fair view of the financial position of the trust as at 31 March 1999 and of the results of operations for the year ended 31 March 1999.

Auditors’ Responsibilities

It is our responsibility to express an independent opinion on the financial report presented by the trustees and report our opinion to you.

Basis of Opinion

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

• the significant estimates and judgments made by the trustees in the preparation of the financial report, and
• whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the trust’s circumstances, 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 financial report is free from material misstatements, whether caused by fraud or error. In forming our opinion we also evaluated overall adequacy of the presentation of information in the financial report.

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:

• proper accounting records have been kept by the trust as far as appears from our examination of those records; and
• the financial report
  • complies with generally accepted accounting practice;
  • gives a true and fair view of the financial position of the trust as at 31 March 1999 and the results of its operations for the year ended on that date.

Our audit was completed on 28 June 1999 and our unqualified opinion is expressed as at that date.
