REPORT OF THE AUDIT OFFICE
TO THE READERS OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OF NORTHPOWER LIMITED
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2001
We have audited the financial statements of Northpower Limited on pages 1 to 8 and 11 to 13. The financial statements provide information about the past financial performance of Northpower Limited and its financial position as at 31 March 2001. This information is stated in accordance with the accounting policies set out on pages 1 and 2.
Directors’ Responsibilities
The Electricity (Information Disclosure) Regulations 1999 require the Directors to prepare financial statements which give a true and fair view of the financial position of Northpower Limited as at 31 March 2001 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the year then ended.
Auditor’s Responsibilities
It is the responsibility of the Audit Office to express an independent opinion on the financial statements presented by the Directors and report its opinion to you.
The Controller and Auditor-General has appointed Karen MacKenzie, of Audit New Zealand, to undertake the audit.
Basis of Opinion
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. It also includes assessing:
-
the significant estimates and judgements made by the Directors in the preparation of the financial statements; and
-
whether the accounting policies are appropriate to Northpower Limited’s circumstances, consistently applied and adequately disclosed.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, including the Auditing Standards issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of New Zealand. We planned and performed our audit so as to obtain all the information and explanations which we considered necessary. We obtained sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the 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 financial statements.
Other than in our capacity as auditor, acting on behalf of the Controller and Auditor-General, we have no relationship with or interests in Northpower Limited.
