7.19.5. Auditor's Opinion and Report

Yes No N/A Ref. Remarks
(1) Where the audit opinion is qualified, is there sufficient information to quantify the effects of qualification on the: Balance Sheet Income Statement and Cash Flow Statement?    
(2)

Does the audit report contain an opinion on whether the entity/ borrower is complying with/ breaching any ADB covenants or other legal agreements? For instance:

  • Utilization of loan proceeds (e.g., diversion of ADB funds, utilization for aspects where counterpart funds should have been used, etc).
  • Project implementation (delays, bottlenecks, procedural procurement lapses).
  • Statement of Expenditures (splitting of payments to avoid SOE ceiling, amount inadmissible).
  • Imprest Fund (used for aspects meant for counterpart funds).
  • Agreed upon matters between ADB and Borrower that require special attention.
  • For revenue-earning EAs/Borrower (significant changes in financial statement balances between financial years, significant bad debts, unrecorded liabilities, etc).
   
(3) Did the audit examine the efficiency of systems of internal control? If so, does the audit report disclose any material deficiencies or weaknesses in the accounting system or overall system of internal control?    
(4) Does the audit report confirm, or otherwise, that financial management systems employed by the EA conformity with ADB requirements in the loan agreement?
