1.16 Leases (continued)
ii) Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognises lease liabilities measured at the
present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed
payments (including insubstance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable
lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual
value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option
reasonably certain to be exercised by the Company and payments of penalties for terminating the
lease, if the lease term reflects the Company exercising the option to terminate. Variable lease
payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expenses (unless they are
incurred to produce inventories) in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing
rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily
determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect
the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying
amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a
change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change in an
index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option
to purchase the underlying asset.
The Company’s lease liabilities are included in Interest-bearing loans and borrowings (see Note
iii) Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of
machinery and equipment (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the
commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value
assets recognition exemption to leases of office equipment that are considered to be low value.
Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expense on
a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Company as a lessor
The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of
machinery and equipment (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the
commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value
assets recognition exemption to leases of office equipment that are considered to be low value.
Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expense on
a straight-line basis over the lease term.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1.17 Changes in accounting policies
New and amended standards and interpretations
The Company applied IFRS 16 Leases for the first time. The nature and effect of the changes as a
result of adoption of this new accounting standard is described below.
Several other amendments and interpretations apply for the first time in 2019, but do not have an
impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company. The Company has not early
adopted any standards, interpretations or amendments that have been issued but are not yet
effective.
IFRS 16 Leases
IFRS 16 supersedes IAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a
Lease, SIC-15 Operating Leases-Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of
Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease. The standard sets out the principles for the
recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and requires lessees to recognise
most leases on the balance sheet.
Lessor accounting under IFRS 16 is substantially unchanged from IAS 17. Lessors will continue
to classify leases as either operating or finance leases using similar principles as in IAS 17.
Therefore, IFRS 16 does not have an impact for leases where the Company is the lessor.
The Company adopted IFRS 16 using the full retrospective method of adoption, with the date of
initial application of 1 January 2019. The Company elected to use the transition practical
expedient to not reassess whether a contract is, or contains, a lease at 1 January 2019. Instead, the
Company applied the standard only to contracts that were previously identified as leases applying
IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 at the date of initial application. The Company also elected to use the
recognition exemptions for lease contracts that, at the commencement date, have a lease term of
12 months or less and do not contain a purchase option (short-term leases), and lease contracts
for which the underlying asset is of low value (low-value assets).
The effect of adopting IFRS 16 is, as follows: R'000

Right-of-use assets 83,572

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1.18 Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions
that affect reported income, expenses, assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities. Use of available information and the application of judgement are inherent in the
formation of estimates. Actual results in the future could differ from these estimates which may
be material to the financial statements.
Judgements
Significant judgements made relate to the estimate of useful lives and residual values of property,
plant and equipment and intangible assets which are determined by management at acquisition
and subsequently adjusted as and when necessary. Management judgements also extend to the
allowance for doubtful debts which have been deducted in arriving at the trade receivables
amount. This judgement is usually based on expected write-offs.
Estimates and assumptions
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation at the balance
sheet, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities within the next financial period, are discussed below.
Goodwill
In arriving at the goodwill value recorded on the statement of financial position, which is the
excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets purchased and liabilities and
contingent liabilities assumed, estimates and judgements were used by management in arriving at
these fair values.
The Company determines whether goodwill is impaired at least on an annual basis. The
impairment of goodwill was tested for each cash-generating unit in the Company using the
discounted cash flow method. Various assumptions pertaining to inflation rates and the discount
rate (Weighted Average Cost of Capital) had to be made based on the information available at the
time of doing the valuation.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1.18 Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued)
Leases - Estimating the incremental borrowing rate
The Company cannot readily determine the interest rate implicit in the lease, therefore, it uses its
incremental borrowing rate (IBR) to measure lease liabilities. The IBR is the rate of interest that
the Company would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the
funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar
economic environment.
The IBR therefore reflects what the Company ‘would have to pay’, which requires estimation
when no observable rates are available (such as for subsidiaries that do not enter into financing
transactions) or when they need to be adjusted to reflect the terms and conditions of the lease (for
example, when leases are not in the subsidiary’s functional currency). The Company estimates
the IBR using observable inputs (such as market interest rates) when available and is required to
make certain entity-specific estimates (such as the subsidiary’s stand-alone credit rating).
1.19 Standards issued but not yet effective
The new and amended standards and interpretations that are issued, but not yet effective, up to
the date of issuance of the Company’s financial statements are disclosed below. The Company
intends to adopt these new and amended standards and interpretations, if applicable, when they
become effective.
Amendments to IFRS 3: Definition of a Business
In October 2018, the IASB issued amendments to the definition of a business in IFRS 3 Business
Combinations to help entities determine whether an acquired set of activities and assets is a
business or not. They clarify the minimum requirements for a business, remove the assessment of
whether market participants are capable of replacing any missing elements, add guidance to help
entities assess whether an acquired process is substantive, narrow the definitions of a business
and of outputs, and introduce an optional fair value concentration test.
Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8: Definition of Material
In October 2018, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and
IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors to align the definition of
‘material’ across the standards and to clarify certain aspects of the definition. The new definition
states that, ’Information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be
expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements
make on the basis of those financial statements, which provide financial information about a
specific reporting entity.’
These amendments are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial
statements.

11. GOODWILL (Continued)
Key assumptions used in value-in-use calculations
The calculation of value-in-use for all cash generating units is most sensitive to the following assumptions:
• Budgeted and forecast turnover and EBIT growth;
• Discount rates; and
• Growth rate used to extrapolate cash flows beyond the budget period.
Budgeted and forecast turnover growth
Budgeted and forecast turnover growth is based on historic levels of growth achieved in the individual units,
as well as management’s understanding of future development of the market and client base.
• For the catering division, the projected growth between periods one and five ranges between 5.3% and
9.0% and the EBIT margins range between 4.4% and 6.1%;
• For the cleaning division it ranges between -27.2% and 17.0%, while EBIT margin ranges between
3.9% and 4.3%;
• For the facilities management division, the projected growth between periods one and five ranges
between 1.7% and 13.5%, while the EBIT margin is 5.7% and 8.3%.
Discount rate
Discount rates reflect the current market assessment of the time value of money and risks specific to each
cash generating unit. The discount rates were estimated based on the average percentage of a weighted
average cost of capital for the Company, taking the market into account. These rates were further adjusted to
reflect the market assessment of any risk specific to the cash generating unit for which future estimates of
cash-flows have not been adjusted.
Terminal growth rate
The terminal growth rate of 8% is based on management’s and the board of directors’ assessment of the
current state of the base of clients within the company as well as the position of the market at present.
Sensitivity analysis
In the catering, cleaning and facilities management units, a 1.5% movement in the discount rate would not
result in a material adjustment to the carrying value of the unit.

TSEBO SOLUTIONS GROUP PROPRIETARY LIMITED
NOTES TO ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AT 31 DECEMBER 2019
28. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, bank overdrafts, accounts
receivable and payable and secured loans from the Consortium.
Market risk
Foreign exchange rate exposure
The Company does not import or export goods, therefore their exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations are
insignificant.
Interest rate management
The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company's
long term debt obligations with floating interest rates. The Company uses interest rate swaps to hedge its
interest rate risk. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on
which the contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as
financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate
because of changes in market interest rates.
The interest rate profile of total borrowings is as follows:
Description Currencies Redemption and interest R’000
rate %
Secured loans 1,594,709
Short-term liabilities ZAR Refer note 21 140,959
Bank overdrafts ZAR Refer note 21 39,260
ZAR Refer note 19
A 1% increase on the Consortium Loan interest rate will result in a R18.6m increase on annual finance cost.
The risk of interest rate fluctuations on the Consortium loan is however mitigated through the use of interest
rate swaps (refer note 27).
The bank overdraft interest is managed by only drawing down on the overdraft facility as and when this
facility is required. A 1% increase in the interest rate would not result in a material increase in the annual
finance costs.
Other price risk
The catering division is highly susceptible to food price inflation. However, this is managed in most
instances by passing on the increase in food prices to clients in terms of the contracts entered into, after
clients have been informed of the price increase. This assists in maintaining the gross profit margins.

NOTES TO ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AT 31 DECEMBER 2019
28. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
Credit risk
Credit risk management
Potential areas of credit risk consist of trade accounts receivable and short-term cash investments.
Trade accounts receivable consist mainly of a large widespread customer base. The Company monitors the
financial position of their customers on an ongoing basis. Contracts are mainly entered into with reputable
corporate clients, government, hospitals, etc. The facilities management operations have a concentration of
their credit risk in the government sector.
Proper credit rating procedures are followed e.g. ITC checks and checking of trade references to minimise
the Company’s exposure to credit risk.
Provision is made for specifically impaired and non-collectible debts and at the year-end management did
not consider there to be any material credit risk exposure that was not already covered by such impairments.
In addition, a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogenous groups and assessed for
impairment collectively. The calculation is based on actual incurred historical data.
It is Company policy to deposit short-term cash investments with the major banks.
Maximum credit exposure
The maximum credit exposure of the Company is limited to the loan receivable (refer note 13), trade and
other receivables (refer note 18) and cash and cash equivalents (refer note 19).
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk management
The Company manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows and ensuring that adequate
unutilised borrowings facilities are maintained. The Company’s liquidity is managed on a daily basis, stock
turnover is short and credit terms are managed optimally.

32. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD
COVID-19
On 11 March 2020 the World Health Organisation officially declared the novel corona virus a
pandemic, triggering various government interventions to stem the spread.
On 15 March 2020 a National State of Disaster was declared in South Africa due to the COVID-19
pandemic, with the country going into lockdown at end March 2020. Most restrictions were
subsequently lifted, but economic activity remains depressed with most businesses within the
Corporate sector opting for their employees to work from home.
Although the company’s service offerings are diversified across many industries, trading in the
sectors which were considered as non-essential services were impacted, especially during the
lockdown in April, with the Catering division bearing the brunt of it due to the nature of its services
and clients. The company however continued to operate at client sites in industries which are
considered to be essential services. The duration of the pandemic, and the pace at which
containment measures are relaxed or possibly reinstated is unknown, which makes it a challenge to
reliably assess the impact across our markets and our business.
The company is doing what is required to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our customers and
employees and has applied for TERS-benefits for qualifying employees.
The company has assessed the impact including the related risks that the pandemic will have on its
performance and liquidity. The company expects its operating results to be impacted negatively for
the short term, however in the medium to long term management expect to resume normal trading
levels. No significant impairments of the company’s assets are expected to arise except for a
potential impairment of Goodwill due to lower trading, the impact of which will only be able to be
quantified once a formal assessment is done at the 2020 year end.
The company has taken action to protect its financial position. Cost saving initiatives have been
implemented and capital expenditure have been delayed, together with prudent cash and working
capital management, enabling the company to remain liquid and able to settle its current liabilities.
As part of these cost saving initiatives, the company has also decided to restructure some of its
business activities within certain business units. This is anticipated to cost R25 million.
CHANGE IN SHAREHOLDERS AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE
The recent COVID-19 pandemic induced uncertainty felt across markets, and has resulted in many
organisations re-adjusting their priorities. In line with this, Tsebo’s international shareholders,
Wendel SE (Wendel) and Capital Group, jointly decided on a strategic consolidation of their
investment portfolio that has seen them reducing their African exposure.

32. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD
CHANGE IN SHAREHOLDERS AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE (continued)
The controlling shareholders of Tsebo Solutions Group Holdings (Tsebo) are concluding a
transaction with a consortium of financial investors and management, which will result in a change
in ownership of the company. The consortium is led by Investec and Nedbank Private Equity. The
transaction remains subject to the finalisation of relevant documentation and South African Reserve
Bank approval.
The new shareholding consortium will preserve Tsebo’s strong B-BBEE credentials and retain a
management shareholding element. Significantly, the transaction will strengthen the company’s
balance sheet by introducing R959 million of fresh equity as well as a Mezzanine finance facility of
R675 million, both of which will be utilised to pay down the senior debt, which will reduce to R450
million and favourably position the business for its next phase of growth. The covenants and debt
service requirements will consequently be reset to the lower level of senior debt. Furthermore, a
revolving credit facility of R100 million will be introduced.

The directors have pleasure in presenting their report for the period ended 31 December 2020.
Statement of directors’ responsibility
The directors of the Company are responsible for the maintenance of adequate accounting records and the
preparation and integrity of the Company annual financial statements and related financial information in this
report.
The Company annual financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards and incorporate full and reasonable disclosure in line with the accounting policies of the Company.
The directors are also responsible for the Company’s systems of internal control. These are designed to
provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance as to the reliability of the financial statements, and to
adequately safeguard, verify and maintain accountability of assets, and to prevent and detect material
misstatement and loss.
These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis.
General review of the business of Tsebo Solutions Group Proprietary Limited
Overview
The recent COVID-19 pandemic induced uncertainty felt across markets an resulted in many organisations re-
adjusting their priorities. In line with this, the shareholders of Tsebo Solutions Group (Pty) Ltd's ('TSG')
holding company (Tsebo Solutions Group Holdings (incorporated in Mauritius) ('TSGH Mru')), Wendel SE
('Wendel') and Capital Group, jointly decided on a strategic consolidation of their investment portfolio that
has seen them reducing their African exposure.
As a result TSGH Mru concluded a transaction with Tsebo Solutions Group Holdings SA (Pty) Ltd
('TSGH SA') on 21 December 2020, which resulted in the acquisition by TSGH SA of all the assets of TSGH
Mru. The shareholders of TSGH SA consist of Investec Bank Ltd, Nedbank Ltd, Ninety One SA (Pty) Ltd,
Standard Chartered Bank Johannesburg, Standard Chartered Bank (Mauritius) Ltd and management through
the Tsebo RSA Management Trust. Jaxson 800 (Pty) Ltd, a direct 100% owned subsidiary of TSGH SA,
acquired the shares in Tsebo Holdings SA (Pty) Ltd and Tsebo Solutions Group AME (incorporated in
Mauritius) for a nominal amount. All the operations of the Group therefore continues under the ownership
of TSGH SA.
Following the above, Khulasande Restructure Partners (Pty) Ltd acquired 40% of the shares of Tsebo
Holdings SA (Pty) Ltd, and the shares in Tsebo Intragroup (Pty) Ltd held by WDB Investment Holdings (Pty)
Ltd were sold to Tsebo Holdings SA (Pty) Ltd for a nominal consideration.
Following the subscription by the consortium to additional shares in TSGH SA for R964,177,000, Tsebo
Intragroup (Pty) Ltd subscribed for additional shares in TSG for R872,434,168. These funds were used to
settle senior debt in TSG.
Operational review
The company’s holding company, TSGH SA, is domiciled in South Africa. TSGH SA holds 60% of the
shares (indirectly) in Tsebo Holdings SA (Pty) Ltd ('THSA'), which in turn holds 97% of the shares
(indirectly) in Tsebo Solutions Group (Pty) Ltd (effective shareholding of 58%). TSG provides catering,
cleaning and facilities management services through its operations in South Africa.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS
AT 31 DECEMBER 2020
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Following the acquisition of Tsebo Holdings SA (Pty) Ltd and Tsebo Solutions Group AME by TSGH SA at
the end of December 2020, the secured debt (refer to Note 20) is being refinanced, with the introduction of a
Mezzanine finance facility of R675 million, which will be utilised to pay down the senior debt to R450
million and favourably position the business for its next phase of growth.
The covenants and debt service requirements will consequently be reset to the lower level of senior debt.
Furthermore, a revolving credit facility of R100 million will be introduced.
AUTHORISED AND ISSUED SHARE CAPITAL
The authorised and issued share capital of the Company is set out in Note 19 to these annual financial
statements. The preference shares issued by TSG to Tsebo Intragroup (Pty) Ltd were redeemed for Rnil on
21 December 2020.
DIVIDENDS
The Company did not declare any ordinary or preference share dividends during the financial period under
review.
BORROWING FACILITIES
At 31 December 2020 the amount outstanding to a consortium of lenders consisting of Investec Bank
Limited, Standard Chartered Bank and Nedbank Limited was R1,038,924,856. These loans were provided to
TSG on 31 January 2017. On 21 December 2020 R872,434,168 was settled in total on Facility A, B and C.
The quarterly interest payments were deferred for the 2020 financial year. The covenants were waived for
the measurement periods ending 31 December 2019, 30 June 2020 and 31 December 2020.
Details of long-term and short-term borrowings are set out in Note 20 to the financial statements.
Investec has provided TSG with guarantee facilities to the extent of R75,000,000, and Nedbank has provided
a working capital facility of R75,000,000.
DIRECTORS
The latest board of directors is comprised of three executive directors and two shareholder appointed non-
executive directors.

shareholders.
SOLVENCY AND LIQUIDITY TEST
The directors have performed the solvency and liquidity tests required by the Companies Act of South Africa.

TSEBO SOLUTIONS GROUP PROPRIETARY LIMITED
REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS
AT 31 DECEMBER 2020
GOING CONCERN
The lender group have provided the company with a capital and interest service holiday until September 2021
and furthermore, a revolving credit facility of R100 million will be introduced.
The directors have reviewed all available information about the future, including the Group and company's
budget and cash flow forecast. In the light of this review, we believe that the Group and company is and will
continue to remain commercially solvent for the foreseeable future but at least twelve months from approval
of these financial statements and will be able to realise their assets and discharge their liabilities in the normal
course of operations.
The going concern assumption for preparing the company annual financial statements is therefore considered
to be appropriate.
FINANCIAL REPORTING AND CONTROLS
The systems of internal control are based on established organisational structures and written policies and
procedures, including budgeting and forecasting disciplines. These systems and procedures are implemented
and monitored by suitably trained personnel with an appropriate segregation of authority and duties. Nothing
has come to the attention of the directors to indicate that any material breakdown in the functioning of these
controls, procedures and systems has occurred during the period under review.
The directors’ responsibilities regarding the financial statements are disclosed in the Independent Auditors
Report on page 6 - 8.

On 11 March 2020 the World Health Organisation officially declared the novel corona virus a pandemic,

Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Shareholders of Tsebo Solutions Group Proprietary Limited
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Tsebo Solutions Group Proprietary Limited set out on
pages 9-57, which comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, and the
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and
statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a
summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Tsebo Solutions Group Proprietary Limited as at 31 December 2020, and its financial performance
and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our
responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the
Audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in
accordance with the Independent Regulatory Board for Auditors’ Code of Professional Conduct for
Registered Auditors (IRBA Code) and other independence requirements applicable to performing
audits of financial statements of the company and in South Africa. We have fulfilled our other ethical
responsibilities in accordance with the IRBA Code and in accordance with other ethical requirements
applicable to performing audits of the company and in South Africa. The IRBA Code is consistent with
the corresponding sections of the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’
International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence
Standards). We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our opinion.
Other Information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the 57 pages document titled “Tsebo Solutions Group Proprietary Limited
Annual Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2020”, which includes the Directors’
Report as required by the Companies Act of South Africa. The other information does not include the
financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express
an audit opinion or any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
6
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with
the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be
materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this
other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors for Financial Statements
The directors are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Companies
Act of South Africa, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable
the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company’s
ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and
using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the
company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report
that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee
that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it
exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in
the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken
on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain
professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
· Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit
evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting
a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud
may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal
control.
· Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 company’s internal control.
7
· Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
· Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and
based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s
report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate,
to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of
our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the company to cease to
continue as a going concern.
· Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events
in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing
of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control
that we identify during our audit.
