✨ Audit Report



280 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 11 28 JANUARY 2008

In addition to issuing audit certificates pursuant to the Electricity Information Disclosure Requirements 2004 we have carried out one other audit assignment for Northpower Limited. This involved issuing an audit opinion on the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2007. Other than this assignment and other than in our capacity as auditor acting on behalf of the Auditor-General, we have no relationship with or interests in Northpower Limited.

Unqualified opinion

We have obtained all the information and explanations we have required.

In our opinion:

  • proper accounting records have been maintained by Northpower Limited as far as appears from our examination of those records; and

  • the financial statements of Northpower Limited on pages 4 to 9:

    (a) comply with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand; and

    (b) give a true and fair view of Northpower Limited’s financial position as at 31 March 2007 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the year ended on that date; and

    (c) comply with the Electricity Information Disclosure Requirements 2004.

Our audit was completed on 20 December 2007 and our unqualified opinion is expressed as at that date.
