AMENDED AUDITOR-GENERAL’S OPINION ON THE PERFORMANCE MEASURES OF DUNEDIN ELECTRICITY LIMITED

We have examined the information on pages 15, 20 and 21, being -

(a) the derivation table specified in regulation 16;

(b) the annual ODV reconciliation report in regulation 16A;

(c) the financial performance measures in clause 1 of Part 3 of Schedule 1; and

(d) the financial components of the efficiency performance measures in clause 2 of Part 3 of schedule 1,

that were prepared by Dunedin Electricity Limited and dated 11 November 2002 for the purposes of regulation 15 of the Electricity (Information Disclosure) Regulations 1999.

As stated in Note 11, this performance measures information replaces the information in the Information Disclosure of Dunedin Electricity Limited for the year ended 31 March 2002 and previously included in New Zealand Gazette No 3, dated 10 January 2003. The performance measures information has been amended to:

  • exclude a downward adjustment of $3.553 million to the ODV value reported in the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2002; and

  • reflect consequent changes to the financial performance indicators which are based on the ODV valuation.

The $3.553 million adjustment was made to correct “inconsistencies” in the ODV valuation identified by the Commerce Commission auditors. These were not considered material by the Commerce Commission however, and the ODV was approved without amendment. Therefore the original adjustment should not have been made.

In our opinion, having made all reasonable enquiry, to the best of our knowledge, that information has been prepared in accordance with the Electricity (Information Disclosure) Regulations 1999.
