To the members of Mvelaphanda Group Limited
REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have audited the financial statements and Group financial statements of Mvelaphanda Group Limited, which comprise the directors’ report, the balance sheets as at 30 June 2009, the income statements, statements of changes in equity and cash flow statements for the year then ended of the Company and Group and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes, as set out here.
DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The directors are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements and Group financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and in the manner required by the Companies Act of South Africa. This responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining internal controls relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
AUDITORS’ RESPONSIBILITY
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and Group financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements 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 financial statements and Group financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and Group financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal controls relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements 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 entity’s internal controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall 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.
OPINION
In our opinion, the financial statements and Group financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Mvelaphanda Group Limited as of 30 June 2009, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act in South Africa.
