In carrying out this responsibility, we have had regard to the interests of the clients and owners of the Participant, and to the general effectiveness and efficiency of the operations of the Participant.

In the opinion of the directors, the Participant maintained, in all material respects, during the .......[insert number] month period ended ............[insert date] suitably designed and effective internal controls to comply with the requirements of Rule 2.2.6 of the ASIC Market Integrity Rules (ASX 24 Market) 2010 in relation to clients' segregated accounts.

Annual Statement of Client Funds

Auditor's Report

We have audited the accounting records and internal control policies and procedures (“internal controls”) of ..............................[Entity Name] (the “Participant”) designed to ensure compliance with the requirements of Rule 2.2.6 of the ASIC Market Integrity Rules (ASX 24 Market) 2010 ("ASX 24 Rules") in relation to clients’ segregated accounts (the “Clients’ Segregated Accounts Rules”) in order to express an opinion about their effectiveness for the period/year ended .................[date] ("the Financial Year").

The directors of the Participant are responsible for maintaining an effective internal control structure, including establishing and maintaining accounting records and effective internal controls designed to ensure compliance with the requirements of the Clients’ Segregated Accounts Rules. We have conducted an independent audit of the internal controls designed to ensure compliance with the requirements of the Clients’ Segregated Accounts Rules in order to express an opinion on them to the directors of the Participant for the Financial Year ended.........................[insert date].

Our audit has been conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and accordingly included such tests and procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. Our procedures included examination, on a test basis, of evidence supporting the Participant’s accounting records and operation of its internal controls in relation to compliance with the requirements of the Clients’ Segregated Accounts Rules. These procedures have been undertaken to form an opinion whether in all material aspects, the Participant maintained suitably designed and effective internal controls to ensure compliance with the requirements of the Clients’ Segregated Accounts Rules for the Financial Year.

This report has been prepared for the Participant in order to meet its obligations to give this report to ASIC in accordance with Rule 2.3.5(1)(b) of the ASX 24 Rules. We disclaim any assumption of responsibility for reliance on this report to any person other than the Participant and ASIC, or for any purpose other than that for which it was prepared.

Inherent Limitations

Because of the inherent limitations of any internal control structure it is possible that fraud, errors or non-compliance with laws and regulations may occur and not be detected. Further, the overall internal control structure, within which the internal controls designed to ensure compliance with the requirements of the Clients’ Segregated Accounts Rules operate, has not been audited, and no opinion is expressed as to its effectiveness.

An audit is not designed to detect all weaknesses in internal controls or all instances of noncompliance with the requirements of the Clients’ Segregated Accounts Rules as it is not performed continuously throughout the period/year and the tests performed over the internal controls are on a sample basis having regard to the nature and size of the Participant.

Any projection of the evaluation of internal controls to future periods is subject to the risk that the internal controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with them may deteriorate.

The audit opinion expressed in this report has been formed on the above basis.

[Qualified] Auditor’s Opinion

In our opinion, [except for the matters referred to in the qualification below,] the Participant maintained, in all material respects during the Financial Year, suitably designed and effective internal controls to comply with the requirements of the Clients’ Segregated Accounts Rules

Auditor’s Report on the Net Tangible Asset Rules

Independent Auditor’s Report To the Directors

We have audited the accounting records and internal control policies and procedures (“internal controls”) of .................................[Entity Name] (the “Participant”) designed to ensure compliance with the Chapter 5 of the ASIC Market Integrity Rules (ASX 24 Market) 2001 (ASX 24 Rules) in relation to the maintenance of net tangible assets (the “Net Tangible Assets Rules”) in order to express an opinion about their effectiveness for the period/year ended ...........................[date] (Financial Year).

The directors of the Participant are responsible for maintaining an effective internal control structure, including establishing and maintaining accounting records and effective internal controls designed to ensure compliance with the requirements of the Net Tangible Assets Rules. We have conducted an independent audit of the internal controls designed to ensure compliance with the requirements of the Net Tangible Assets Rules in order to express an opinion on them to the directors of the Participant for the Financial Year.

Our audit has been conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and accordingly included such tests and procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. Our procedures included examination, on a test basis, of evidence supporting the Participant’s accounting records and operation of its internal controls in relation to compliance with the requirements of the Net Tangible Assets Rules. These procedures have been undertaken to form an opinion whether in all material aspects, the Participant maintained suitably designed and effective internal controls to ensure compliance with the requirements of the Net Tangible Assets Rules for the Financial Year.

This report has been prepared for the Participant in order to meet its obligations to give this report to ASIC in accordance with the ASX 24 Rules. We disclaim any assumption of responsibility for reliance on this report to any person other than the Participant and ASIC or for any purpose other than that for which it was prepared.

Inherent Limitations

Because of the inherent limitations of any internal control structure it is possible that fraud, errors or non-compliance with laws and regulations may occur and not be detected. Further, the overall internal control structure, within which the internal controls designed to ensure compliance with the requirements of the Net Tangible Assets Rules operate, has not been audited, and no opinion is expressed as to its effectiveness.

An audit is not designed to detect all weaknesses in internal controls or all instances of noncompliance with the requirements of the Net Tangible Assets Rules as it is not performed continuously throughout the period/year and the tests performed over the internal controls are on a sample basis having regard to the nature and size of the Participant.

Any projection of the evaluation of internal controls to future periods is subject to the risk that the internal controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with them may deteriorate.

The audit opinion expressed in this report has been formed on the above basis.

Auditor’s Opinion

In our opinion, [except for the matters referred to in the qualification below] the Participant maintained, in all material respects, during the Financial Year suitably designed and effective internal controls to comply with the requirements of Chapter 5 of the ASX 24 Rules in relation to the maintenance of net tangible assets.

Auditor's Report on NTA Return

Independent Auditors Report to the Directors

We have audited the financial information set out in the Audited NTA Return ('Return') of ...........................(the 'Participant') excluding the Directors Statement Relating to Accounts of the Participant and “Prior Period” balances as shown in the Audited NTA Return (the “Return”) of the Participant for the Financial Year ended ..........................[ date] (Financial Year).

The Responsibility of the Directors for the Return

The directors of the Participant are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial information set out in the Return in accordance with the requirements of the ASIC Market Integrity Rules (ASX 24 Market) 2010 (ASX 24 Rules). This responsibility includes establishing and maintaining internal controls relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial information set out in the Return to ensure that the Return is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial information set out in the Return based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance, whether the financial information set out in the attached Return, is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures of the financial information set out in the Return. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial information set out in the Return whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal controls relevant to the Participant’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial information set out in the Return 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 Participant’s internal controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors of the Participant, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial information set out in the Return.

The Return has been prepared in accordance with Rule 6.2.1 of the ASX 24 Rules. The Return may not be suitable for another purpose. Our report is intended solely for the Participant and ASIC and should not be distributed to or used by parties other than the Participant and ASIC.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

INDEPENDENCE

In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of APES 110: Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants.

AUDITOR’S OPINION

In our opinion, [except for the matters referred to in the qualification below], the Return of the Participant for the Financial Year presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial information of the Participant for the Financial Year as required by ASIC in accordance with the ASX 24 Rules that are relevant to the preparation and presentation of the Return.
