Business Report
Dear Shareholders,
External environment fluctuated in 2018, posing multiple challenges for enterprise. Volatile factors include prolonging China-U.S. trade friction, stagnant Brexit, attempt by North Korea to return to the international arena, and slackened market of crude oil and raw materials. However, continuing expansion of the electric-car market has triggered demands for auto motors, and the automation and AI current has fostered huge business potential. In the quest for sustainable development, the company has adhered to the vision of "energy conservation, emission reduction, intelligence, and automation," pushing the automation, smart production, and consistency of the company's production bases worldwide and rolling out innovative high-performance and smart products, in order to uphold strong growth momentum, minimize the effect of external changes, and retain steady profits.
A. Review of Business Performance in 2018
Analysis of the company’s business performance in 2018 follows: a. Parent Company
Unit: NT$ thousand
| 2018 | 2017 | Change | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sales revenue | 20,879,719 | 21,301,208 | -1.98% |
| Operating profit | 1,410,943 | 1,507,068 | -6.38% |
| Profit for theyear | 3,150,089 | 3,092,358 | 1.87% |
Motor’s order intake and sales picked up significantly, thanks to increased share on domestic and Australian markets, plus robust demands from power generation and oil & gas industries in North America. Affected by sluggish realty market and private consumption, sales of home appliances and power devices dropped. In general, the company's 2018 revenue scored slight decline of 1.98%.
In response to China-U.S. trade war, some orders for the U.S. were shifted to Taiwan for production, dampening gross margin. Consequently, the company has endeavored to cut material and other costs, reduce product weight and size, to boost competitiveness. Still, affected mainly by profit margin drop of air conditioning products, overall gross margin decreased by 0.9%. The company, though, managed to decrease operating expense by near NT$70 million, via working-flow improvement and outlay rationalization, as a result of which operating profit only declined by NT$96 million.
Continuing sales and profit growth of affiliates in China, North America, and Australia
~10~
led to increase of NT$330 million in investment income under equity method in 2018. In 2018, the company's net profit increased by 1.87%.
In 2018, the company had a remarkable performance in R&D, launching high-power smart motor, permanent-magnet motor for electric car, smart air quality and airconditioning energy management system for hospitals, and service-oriented robot, which won the company 15 awards of Taiwan Excellent Award, the highest among electromechanical manufacturers.
b. Consolidated Financial Statements
Unit: NT$ thousand
| 2018 | 2017 | Change | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sales revenue | 50,104,927 | 50,942,521 | -1.64% |
| Operating profit | 3,520,486 | 3,496,200 | 0.69% |
| Profit for theyear | 3,475,969 | 3,544,248 | -1.93% |
| Total comprehensive income | 3,908,980 | 4,326,037 | -9.64% |
Sales in China grew, thanks to the policy separating production and sales, increased market share of large-sized motor and air-separation equipment, grasp of the business opportunities related to "Road and Belt" program, and focus on gear reducer and explosion-proof electric machinery. Sales in North America and Europe both scored double-digit growth, thanks to brisk demands for large-sized motors and gear reducers, respectively, while sales growth in Australia exceeds 5% and domestic sales also grew, despite exclusion of the revenue of Kuenling Air. After excluding the contribution of Kuenling Air, operating income still grew slightly by NT$60 million, due to merger of regional organizations and further rationalization of expenses. Affected by loss in the valuation of financial assets and reduced investment income, current net profit dropped by 1.93%, while total comprehensive income also tumbled by 9.64%, due to decline in unrealized valuation income from equity investment instruments.
B. Outline of 2019 Business Plan
The global economy is expected to remain sluggish in 2019, according to the prediction of major forecast bodies. The Cabinet-level Directorate General of Budget, Accounting, and Statistics forecasts that Taiwan's economy will score 2.27% growth in 2019, compared with the forecasts of other bodies ranging 2.18-2.45%. Faced with even steeper challenges, the company will continue embracing the vision of "energy conservation, emission reduction, intelligence, and automation," focusing on IoT-
~11~
enabled motor digital service, double growth for inverters, electromechanical equipment sales program, overseas electromechanical engineering, and smart communities, so as to sustain sales growth.
To achieve intelligence and automation, the company will establish industry IoT at all of its factories, on the basis of MES (manufacturing execution system), which will be coupled with big-data analysis in forging smart electromechanical factory solutions. Automated guided vehicles and service-oriented robots will also be applied, to further boost the operating efficiency of factories.
For energy conservation and emission reduction, the company has engaged in the RD& on high-efficiency low-energy consumption permanent-magnet motor for use as motive force, and the development, via utilization of "synchronous reluctance assisted permanent magnet technology," of traction power modules, for deployment in the markets of electric cars and electric vessels. The company is also actively foraying into the supply chain for offshore wind-power turbines, plans to engage in the gridconnection power control panel and assembly of wind turbine, using Taiwan as a springboard for inroads into the markets of Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia.
The company has been granted golden award of Taiwan Top 50 Corporate Sustainability Report Award for five years in row and Corporate Citizen Award by Commonwealth magazine for seven consecutive years. As a vanguard of Taiwan's electromechanical industry, the company will continue adhering to the concept of sustainable development and, in response to the need for innovative technology and the current of Industry 4.0, will dedicate to the development of IoT and smart environment-friendly products, in the hope of turning in a good performance amid stern international environment and creating optimal benefits for shareholders and investing public, in return for their longstanding support and patronage.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE
To TECO Electric & Machinery Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of TECO Electric & Machinery Co., Ltd. as at December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related parent company only statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the parent company only financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the audit reports of other independent accountants, as described in the other matter section of our report, the parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of TECO Electric & Machinery Co., Ltd. as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and its financial performance and cash flows for the years then ended, in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China (“ROC GAAS”). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China (the “Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. Based on our audits and audit reports of other independent accountants, we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the parent company only financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial
~14~
statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters for the Company’s financial statements of the current period are stated as follows:
Revenue recognition of export sales of heavy industrial products group
Description
Refer to Note 4(31) of the parent company only financial statements for the accounting policies on revenue recognition. Heavy industrial products group handles the manufacturing and sales of various machinery, equipment and motors. Aside from domestic sales in Taiwan, the customers of heavy industrial products group are from China, America, Southeast Asia and Europe and the sales terms vary for different customers. Thus, we consider the revenue recognition of export sales of heavy industrial products group as a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures in respect of the above key audit matter:
-
Obtained an understanding of and validated the internal controls over revenue recognition of export sales of heavy industrial products group to assess the effectiveness of the internal control process.
-
Validated selected samples of export sales revenue transactions of heavy industrial products group to confirm the existence of export sales revenue transactions.
Investment accounted for under equity method – impairment assessment of premium generated from the acquisition of subsidiaries
Description
Motovario S.p.A. is headquartered in Italy, and is engaged in the manufacturing and sales of gear reducers and other power transmission equipment. Motovario S.p.A. is considered a minor cash-generating unit of TECO Electric & Machinery Co., Ltd.. As of December 31, 2018, the balance of goodwill was NT$5,207,755 thousand. Refer to Note 4(18) of the parent company only financial statement for the accounting policies on the impairment of non-financial assets and Note 5(2) for the uncertainty of the accounting estimate regarding impairment of
~15~
investment in premium. TECO Electric & Machinery Co., Ltd. assesses the impairment of investment in premium using the recoverable amount generated from the cash flow forecast discounted using a reasonable discount rate.
The aforesaid recoverable amount includes several assumptions such as the discount rate used and the preparation of financial projections to estimate the cash flows for the next three years. The discount rate and financial projections relating to the future operations of Motovario S.p.A. are subject to management judgement which have a significant impact on the measurement of the recoverable amount, thus affecting the results of the impairment assessment. Accordingly, we consider management’s impairment assessment of investments accounted for under equity method as a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures in respect of the above key audit matter:
-
Obtained an understanding and assessed the Company’s policies and procedures in relating to the goodwill impairment assessment.
-
Assessed whether the future cash flows adopted in the valuation model was in accordance with Motovario S.p.A’s operation plan, and reviewed the results of the previous operating plans prepared by management.
-
Evaluated the reasonableness of major assumptions (including the expected growth rate and discount rate) used in the model.
-
Reviewed the sensitivity analysis for the above significant assumptions and parameters prepared by management and confirmed whether management has adequately addressed the possible impact of the estimation uncertainty on the impairment assessment.
Reclassification from investments accounted for under equity method - subsidiaries into associates due to loss of control
Description
Refer to Note 4(13) for accounting policies adopted when losing control over subsidiaries accounted for under equity method. As mentioned in Note 6(7) of the parent company only financial statements, Kuen Ling Machinery Refrigerating Co., Ltd. (“Kuen Ling”) was a subsidiary accounted for under equity method and included in the parent company only financial statements given a control over the Kuen Ling’s Board of Directors through 19.98% of equity previously held by TECO Electric & Machinery Co., Ltd.. However, based on the
~16~
management’s assessment, TECO Electric & Machinery Co., Ltd. has lost control and yet still retained significant influence over the Board of Directors of Kuen Ling following the reelection of directors by shareholders held on May 23, 2018. On the same date, the investments in Kuen Ling were remeasured at fair value. Kuen Ling was then accounted for under equity method but no longer a consolidated entity thereafter. In addition, Kuen Ling does not meet the criteria of Level 1 fair value because of its small stock trading amounts although it is an OTC company based on the management’s assessment. Per management’s request, external experts valued its fair value to be Level 3. Given that significant judgements exercised by both the management and valuers’ pertaining to the valuation techniques and parameters in Level 3 significantly affect accounting treatment for losing control, we consider it as a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures in respect of the above key audit matter:
- Assessed the management’s judgements regarding the loss of control and yet still retaining significant
influence over the Board of Directors of Kuen Ling.
-
Confirmed that the valuation models, assumptions and parameters used by external experts are justified.
-
Assessed the relevance between the investments and the comparable companies used in the valuation report in terms of their business traits and financial information; reviewed referenced information and supporting documentation of the comparable companies.
-
Verified that the amount of gain on remeasurement recognised by the management is accurate.
Other matter – Reports of other independent accountants
As described in Notes 6(6) of the parent company only financial statements, we did not audit the financial statements of certain investee accounted for under the equity method. Those financial statements were audited by other independent accountants, whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in the financial statements and the information on the investee disclosed in Note 13 was based solely on the reports of other independent accountants. The investments accounted for under the equity method amounted to NT$4,076,536 thousand and NT$4,043,134 thousand, both constituting 6% of the related total assets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and the comprehensive income amounting to NT$176,754 thousand and NT$89,767 thousand,
~17~
constituting 5% and 2% of the total comprehensive income for the years then ended, respectively.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the parent company only financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only financial statements in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including the Audit Committee, are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the parent company only financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ROC GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or 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 parent company only financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ROC GAAS, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive
~18~
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 controls.

6.
Obtain an understanding of internal controls 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 Company’s internal controls.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our report to the related disclosures in the parent company only financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our report. However, future events or conditions may cause TECO Electric & Machinery Co., Ltd. to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within TECO Electric & Machinery Co., Ltd. to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal controls that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the parent company only financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or
~19~
when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE
To TECO Electric & Machinery Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TECO Electric & Machinery Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) as at December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the audit reports of other independent accountants, as described in the Other matter section of our report, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended, in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China (“ROC GAAS”). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China (the “Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. Based on our audits and audit reports of other independent accountants, we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
~28~
Key audit matters for the Group’s consolidated financial statements of the current period are stated as follows:
Revenue recognition of export sales of heavy industrial products group
Description
Refer to Note 4(34) of the consolidated financial statements for the accounting policies on revenue recognition and Note 14 for the segment financial information. The Group disclosed the financial information of heavy industrial products group and home electric appliance division in the segment financial information. Heavy industrial products group handles the manufacturing and sales of various machinery, equipment and motors. The sales revenue of the heavy industrial products group amounted to NT$33,448,989 thousand, representing 66.76% of the consolidated total sales revenue for the year ended December 31, 2018. Aside from domestic sales in Taiwan, the customers of heavy industrial products group are from China, America, Southeast Asia and Europe and the sales terms vary for different customers. Thus, we consider the revenue recognition of export sales of heavy industrial products group as a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
-
We performed the following audit procedures in respect of the above key audit matter:
-
Obtained an understanding of and validated the internal controls over revenue recognition of export sales of heavy industrial products group to assess the effectiveness of the internal control process.
-
Validated selected samples of export sales revenue transactions of heavy industrial products group to confirm the existence of export sales revenue transactions.
Impairment assessment of goodwill from the acquisition of Motovario S.p.A.
Description
Motovario S.p.A. is headquartered in Italy, and is engaged in the manufacturing and sales of gear reducers and other power transmission equipment. Motovario S.p.A. is considered a minor cash-generating unit of the Group. As of December 31, 2018, the balance of goodwill was NT$5,207,755 thousand. Refer to Note 6(10) of the consolidated financial statements for information of goodwill, Note 4(21) for the accounting policies on the impairment of non-financial assets and Note 5(2) for the uncertainty of the accounting estimate regarding impairment of goodwill. The Group assesses the impairment of goodwill using the recoverable amount generated from the cash flow forecast discounted using a reasonable discount rate.
~29~
The aforesaid recoverable amount includes several assumptions such as the discount rate used and the preparation of financial projections to estimate the cash flows for the next three years. The discount rate and financial projections relating to the future operations of Motovario S.p.A. are subject to management judgement which have a significant impact on the measurement of the recoverable amount, thus affecting the results of the impairment assessment. Accordingly, we consider management’s impairment assessment of goodwill as a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
-
We performed the following audit procedures in respect of the above key audit matter:
-
Obtained an understanding and assessed the Group’s policies and procedures in relating to the goodwill impairment assessment.
-
Assessed whether the future cash flows adopted in the valuation model was in accordance with Motovario S.p.A’s operation plan, and reviewed the results of the previous operating plans prepared by management.
-
Evaluated the reasonableness of major assumptions (including the expected growth rate and discount rate) used in the model.
-
Reviewed the sensitivity analysis for the above significant assumptions and parameters prepared by management and confirmed whether management has adequately addressed the possible impact of the estimation uncertainty on the impairment assessment.
Reclassification from investments accounted for under equity method - subsidiaries into associates due to loss of control
Description
Refer to Note 4(3) for accounting policies adopted when losing control over subsidiaries accounted for under equity method. As mentioned in Note 6(7) of the consolidated financial statements, Kuen Ling Machinery Refrigerating Co., Ltd. (“Kuen Ling”) was a subsidiary accounted for under equity method and included in the consolidated financial statements given a control over the Kuen Ling’s Board of Directors through 19.98% of equity previously held by the Group. However, based on the management’s assessment, the Group has lost control and yet still retained significant influence over the Board of Directors of Kuen Ling following the re-election of directors by shareholders held on May 23, 2018. On the same date, the investments in Kuen Ling were remeasured at fair value. Kuen Ling was then accounted for under equity method but no longer a consolidated entity thereafter. In addition, Kuen Ling does not meet the criteria of Level 1 fair value because of its small stock trading amounts although it is an OTC company based on the
~30~
management’s assessment. Per management’s request, external experts valued its fair value to be Level 3. Given that significant judgements exercised by both the management and valuers’ pertaining to the valuation techniques and parameters in Level 3 significantly affect accounting treatment for losing control, we consider it as a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures in respect of the above key audit matter:
-
Assessed the management’s judgements regarding the loss of control and yet still retaining significant influence over the Board of Directors of Kuen Ling.
-
Confirmed that the valuation models, assumptions and parameters used by external experts are justified.
-
Assessed the relevance between the investments and the comparable companies used in the valuation report in terms of their business traits and financial information; reviewed referenced information and supporting documentation of the comparable companies.
-
Verified that the amount of gain on remeasurement recognised by the management is accurate.
Other matter – Reports of other independent accountants
As described in Notes 4(3) and 6(7) of the consolidated financial statements, we did not audit the financial statements of certain subsidiaries and investments accounted for under the equity method.

Other matter –Parent company only financial reports
We have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion with other matter section on the parent company only financial statements of TECO Electric & Machinery Co., Ltd. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the consolidated financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including the Audit Committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ROC GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or 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 consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ROC GAAS, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
~32~
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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 controls.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal controls 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 Group’s internal controls.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal controls that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably
~33~
be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
