DISCLAIMER OF OPINION - LIMITATIONS ON SCOPE Sample Clauses

DISCLAIMER OF OPINION - LIMITATIONS ON SCOPE. We have audited the annual accounts of expenditure declared to the Commission as expenditure incurred for the Programme for the 200x financial year by [name and address of SAPARD Agency]. Our responsibility, acting as Certifying Body, is to express an opinion on the annual accounts based on our audit. Except as discussed in the following paragraph, we conducted our audit in accordance with internationally accepted auditing standards and Article 6 of Section A of the Annex to the Multi-annual Financing Agreement. We planned and performed the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the accounts transmitted to the Commission are free of material misstatement. The audit included examination, on a test basis, of evidence supporting the information in the annual accounts, the records of commitments, an examination of procedures and of a sample of transactions. The audit covered compliance of payments with the Multi-annual Financing Agreement only as regards the capability of the SAPARD Agency's administrative structures to ensure that such compliance has been checked before payment is made. Our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. We were not able to examine procedures underlying payments effected by bodies with delegated responsibilities due to limitations placed on the scope of our work by the SAPARD Agency (reference: audit report page P). Because of the significance of the matters discussed in the preceding paragraph we do not express an opinion on whether the accounts to be transmitted to the Commission for the 200x EAGGF financial year (dated DD/MM/YYYY) are true, complete and accurate. Our audit was conducted between DD/MM/YYYY and DD/MM/YYYY. A report on our findings is delivered at the same date as the date of this certificate.
