Signature Name [enter name] Position [enter position] Auditor’s employer [enter employer name] Date [dd/mm/yyyy] Attachment B - Independent audit report Background for auditors The purpose of the independent audit report is to provide us with an auditor's opinion on the Grantee’s statement of grant income and expenditure. The statement of grant income and expenditure is prepared by the Grantee to correspond with the expenditure reported to the department by the Grantee for the same period, in the process of claiming grant payments. The independent audit report must be prepared by a person who is an approved auditor. An approved auditor is a person who is: registered as a company auditor under the Corporations Xxx 0000 or an appropriately qualified member of Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand, or of CPA Australia or the Institute of Public Accountants; and not a principal, member, shareholder, officer, agent, subcontractor or employee of the Grantee or of a related body corporate or a Connected Entity. The audit should be undertaken and reported in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. The independent audit report must follow the required format and include any qualification regarding the matters on which the auditor provides an opinion. We may follow up any qualifications with the Grantee or auditor. The independent audit report must be submitted on the auditor's letterhead. Auditors must comply with the professional requirements of Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand, CPA Australia and the Institute of Public Accountants in the conduct of their audit. If the auditor forms an opinion that the statement of grant income and expenditure does not give a true and fair view of the eligible expenditure for the period, the independent audit report should be qualified and the error quantified in the qualification section of the independent audit report. The required independent audit report format follows. Auditor’s report Independent audit report in relation to [Grantee name]’s statement of grant income and expenditure to the Commonwealth, represented by the Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources (the department). We have audited: the accompanying statement of grant income and expenditure of [Grantee name] for the period [dd/mm/yyyy] to [dd/mm/yyyy], a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and management’s attestation statement thereon (together “the financial statement”). The financial statement has been prepared by management using the cash basis of accounting described in note 3.2 to the financial statement; and [Grantee name]'s compliance with the terms of the grant agreement between [Grantee name] and the Commonwealth dated [date of agreement] for the period [dd/mm/yyyy] to [dd/mm/yyyy] (the grant agreement). We have: reviewed [Grantee name]’s statement of labour costs in support of its claim of eligible expenditure[; and performed limited assurance procedures on [Grantee name]’s statement of employee numbers under the grant agreement]. Management’s responsibility Management is responsible for: the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statement in accordance with the basis of accounting described in note 3.2, this includes determining that the cash basis of accounting is an acceptable basis for the preparation of the financial statement in accordance with the grant agreement; compliance with the terms of the grant agreement; the preparation of the statement of employee numbers and labour costs in support of eligible expenditure; and such internal control as management determines is necessary to: enable the preparation of the financial statement and the statement of [employee numbers and ]labour costs that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and enable compliance with the terms of the grant agreement. Auditor’s responsibility Our responsibilities are: To express an opinion, based on our audit, on: the financial statement; and [Grantee name]’s compliance, in all material respects, with the terms of the grant agreement; and To conclude based on: our review procedures, on the statement of labour costs; and our limited assurance procedures on the statement of employee numbers. We conducted our audit of the financial statement in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards; our audit of compliance with the grant agreement in accordance with ASAE 3100, our review of the statement of labour costs in accordance with ASRE 2405[; and our limited assurance procedures on employee numbers in accordance with ASAE 3000]. The applicable Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements and plan and perform our work to: obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement is free from material misstatement and that [Grantee name] has complied, in all material respects, with the terms of the grant agreement; and obtain limited assurance as to whether anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the statements of employee numbers and labour costs are materially misstated. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement and about the Grantee’s compliance with the grant agreement. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statement, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Grantee’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statement, and to the Grantee’s compliance with the grant agreement, 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 Grantee’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statement.
