Info

Material misstatements are differences or omissions of amounts and disclosures that would affect a reader’s overall understanding of the financial statements and performance information. If we had found material misstatements that were not corrected, we would have referred to them in our opinion. The audit involved performing procedures to test the information presented in the financial statements and performance information. We assessed the results of those procedures in forming our opinion. Audit procedures generally include: • determining whether significant financial and management controls are working and can be relied on to produce complete and accurate data; • verifying samples of transactions and account balances; • performing analyses to identify anomalies in the reported data; • reviewing significant estimates and judgements made by the Board; • confirming year-end balances; • determining whether accounting policies are appropriate and consistently applied; and • determining whether all required disclosures are adequate. We did not examine every transaction, nor do we guarantee complete accuracy of the financial statements and performance information. We evaluated the overall adequacy of the presentation of information in the financial statements and performance information. We obtained all the information and explanations we required to support our opinion above. The financial statements refer to the new local government structure for the Auckland region In forming our opinion, we considered the disclosures in note 23 on page 120 about the Government establishing a new local government structure for the Auckland region. The Local Government (Tamaki Makaurau Reorganisation) Act 2009 will establish a single unitary authority (the Auckland Council) that will be responsible for governing the entire Auckland region from 1 November 2010. Decisions are yet to be made on the Auckland Council’s structure and operations, including how the Authority will be vested and integrated. We consider the disclosures to be appropriate to the Authority’s circumstances. 122
Responsibilities of the Board and the Auditor The Board is responsible for preparing the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand. The financial statements must fairly reflect the financial position of the Authority as at 30 June 2009 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the year ended on that date. The Board is also responsible for preparing performance information that fairly reflects service performance achievements for the year ended 30 June 2009. The Board’s responsibilities arise from the Local Government Act 2002. We are responsible for expressing an independent opinion on the financial statements and performance information and reporting that opinion to you. This responsibility arises from section 15 of the Public Audit Act 2001 and section 69 of the Local Government Act 2002. Independence When carrying out the audit we followed the independence requirements of the Auditor-General, which incorporate the independence requirements of the New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants. Other than the audit, we have no relationship with or interests in the Authority. David Walker Audit New Zealand On behalf of the Auditor-General Auckland, New Zealand 123
