REPORT OF THE AUDITOR-GENERAL
TO THE READERS OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
EASTLAND NETWORK LIMITED’S ELECTRICITY LINES BUSINESS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2007
We have audited the financial statements of Eastland Network Limited’s Electricity Lines Business (the "Electricity Lines Business") on pages 2 to 18. The financial statements provide information about the past financial performance of the Electricity Lines Business and its financial position as at 31 March 2007. This information is stated in accordance with the accounting policies set out on pages 5 to 9.
Directors’ Responsibilities
The Commerce Commission’s Electricity Information Disclosure Requirements 2004 made under section 57T of the Commerce Act 1986 require the Directors to prepare financial statements which give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Electricity Lines Business at 31 March 2007, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Auditor’s Responsibilities
Section 15 of the Public Audit Act 2001 and Regulation 30 of the Electricity Information Disclosure Requirements 2004 require the Auditor-General to audit the financial statements. It is the responsibility of the Auditor-General to express an independent opinion on the financial statements and report that opinion to you.
The Auditor-General has appointed Bruce Taylor of Deloitte 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 the Electricity Lines Business’s circumstances, consistently applied and adequately disclosed.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Auditing Standards published by the Auditor-General, which incorporate 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 in order to provide us with sufficient evidence to obtain 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.
Partners and employees of our firm may deal with the company on normal terms within the ordinary course of trading activities of the business of the company. These matters have not impaired our independence as auditors of the electricity lines business. The firm has no other relation with, or interests in the Electricity Lines Business.
