Auditors’ Report to the Trustees of The Community Trust

We have audited the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements provide information about the past financial performance and cash flows of the trust and subsidiaries for the year ended 31 March 2002 and their financial position as at that date. This information is stated in accordance with the accounting policies set out therein.

Trustees’ Responsibilities

The trustees are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements which give a true and fair view of the financial position of the trust and subsidiaries as at 31 March 2002 and their financial performance and cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Auditors’ Responsibilities

We are responsible for expressing an independent opinion on the consolidated financial statements presented by the trustees and reporting 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 statements. It also includes assessing:

  • the significant estimates and judgements made by the trustees in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements; and
  • whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the circumstances of the trust and subsidiaries, 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 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.

We have no relationship with or interests in the trust and subsidiaries other than in our capacity as auditors.

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 and subsidiaries as far as appears from our examination of those records; and
  • the consolidated financial statements:
    – comply with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand; and
