Basis of our work and level of assurance

We carried out a limited assurance engagement in accordance with International Standard for Assurance Engagements 3000 (revised)

“Assurance Engagements Other Than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information” (‘ISAE 3000’). A limited assurance engagement

consists of making enquiries, applying analytical procedures, reviewing the process and systems used to compile the Subject Matter and

gathering other evidence to enable us to obtain a meaningful level of assurance. The procedures performed depend on our judgement and

take into account the risk of material misstatement in the Subject Matter, whether due to fraud or error.

The procedures performed in a limited assurance engagement vary in nature, and are less in extent than for a reasonable assurance engagement.

As a result, the level of assurance obtained in a limited assurance engagement is substantially lower than the assurance that would have been

obtained had we performed a reasonable assurance engagement.

We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by

the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants, which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional

standards and due care, confidentiality and professional behaviour.
