Independent Auditor’s report
To the Trustees of ASB Community Trust
Report on the Trust and Group Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of ASB Community Trust ("the Trust") and the Group, comprising the Trust and its subsidiaries, on pages 1 to 32. The financial statements comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 March 2012, the statements of comprehensive income, changes in funds and cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information for both the Trust and Group.
Trustees’ responsibility for the Trust and Group financial statements
The Trustees are responsible for the preparation of Trust and Group financial statements in accordance with generally accepted practice in New Zealand that give a true and fair view of the matters to which they relate, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of Trust and Group financial statements that are free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these Trust and Group financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Trust and Group financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the Trust and Group financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Trust and Group’s preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust and Group’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates, as well as evaluating the presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Our firm has also provided other services to the Trust in relation to taxation services. Partners and employees of our firm may also deal with the Trust and Group on normal terms within the ordinary course of trading activities of the Trust and Group. These matters have not impaired
