RECONCILIATION BETWEEN THE AMOUNTS SUBMITTED BY THE PIU AND DISBURSED BY THE W O RLD BAN K ...................................................................................................... 15 2/15 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT To the management of "Water Sector Projects Implementation Unit" State Institution Opinion We have audited the accompanying special purpose financial statements of the "Irrigation System Enhancement Project" ("Project") financed by IBRD Loan Agreement 8267-AM dated 29 May 2013 ("Loan Agreement"), and implemented by the "Water Sector Projects Implementation Unit" State Institution ("WSPIU"), which comprise the Statement of Financial Position as at 6 December 2018, the Statement of Sources and Uses of Funds, the Statement of Uses of Funds by Project Activity, Summary of summary reports and SOEs, the Statement of Designated Account for the period from 1 January 2018 to 6 December 2018, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes. In our opinion, the special purpose financial statements present fairly in all material respects the financial position of the Project as at 6 December 2018, as well as the sources and uses of funds for the period from 1 January 2018 to 6 December 2018 in accordance with the accrual basis of accounting described in the Note 2 accompanying these special purpose financial statements. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) as issued by International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) of the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Project and the WSPIU in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled out other ethical requirements in accordance with IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Emphasis of Matter- Special purpose framework We draw attention to Note 2 to the financial statements, which describes that financial statements are prepared in accordance with special purpose framework, as a result, they may not be suitable for another purposes. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. Emphasis of matters Without qualifying our opinion we draw your attention to Note 9 of these special purpose financial statements which disclosed that the Project was completed as at the reporting date. Management's Responsibility for the Special Purpose Financial Statements The management of the WSPIU is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these special purpose financial statements in accordance with the accrual basis of accounting described in the Note 2 accompanying these special purpose financial statements, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of special purpose financial statements that are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor's Responsibility for the Audit of the Special Purpose Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the special purpose financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is high level of assurance, but is not a guaranty that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements arise from fraud and error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these special purpose financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: * Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the special purpose financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. * Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 internal control. * Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. * Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the special purpose financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the special purpose financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. We communicate with management regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. Report on Other Legal Requirements To comply with the terms of the Loan Agreement, the WSPIU management shall insure that: 1. funds have been used in accordance with the conditions of the Loan Agreement concluded between the Republic of Armenia and International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), and World Bank related guidelines, with due attention to economy and efficiency, and only for the purposes for which the financing was provided; 2. supporting documents, records and accounts have been maintained to support claims for reimbursement of expenditures incurred. Expenditures included in the withdrawal applications and reimbursed against are eligible for financing under the Loan Agreement; Interim Unaudited Financial Statements (IFSs) issued by WSPIU during the reporting period are in agreement with the underlying books of account; 3. The Designated account used has been maintained in accordance with the provision of the Loan Agreement, and World Bank related guidelines; 4. Works, Goods and Services financed have been procured in accordance with the Loan Agreement and World Bank related guidelines. In our opinion, the Project management has complied with the above requirements during the period from 1 January 2018 to 6 December 2018. 20 December 2018 "BDO Armenia" cjsc V6hag ha yan, PCCA Nazik Chitchyan Man i g Partner Auditor STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION Irrigation System Enhancement Project IBRD Loan 8267-AM As at 6 December 2018 06.12.2018 31.12.2017 Note USD USD ASSETS Cash Designated account -IBRD Loan 8267-AM (in USD) 269,786.59 2,626,312.97 Current account - Government of RA (in AMD) 1,196.88 - Total Cash 270,983.47 2,626,312.97 Prepayments 4 448,267.32 Cumulative project expenditures 3 37,075,544.43 34,014,907.09 Foreign exchange loss 7 112,242.85 118,806.29 TOTAL ASSETS 37,458,770.75 37,208,293.67 FUNDS AND LIABILITIES Accounts payable 5 651,718.23 Funds IBRD Loan 8267-AM 6.1 30,000,000.00 29,751,433.40 Government of the Republic of Armenia 6.2 7,458,770.75 6,805,142.04 Total Funds 37,458,770.75 36,556,575.44 TOTAL FUNDS AND LIABILITIES 37,458,770.75 37,208,293.67 The special purpose financial statements were approved by the management of Water Sector Projects Implementation Unit State Institution and signed on its behalf on December 20, 2018.
