Independent auditor’s report
TO THE MEMBERS OF OMNIA HOLDINGS LIMITED
We have audited the Group annual financial statements and
annual financial statements of Omnia Holdings Limited, which
comprise the directors’ report, the consolidated and separate
balance sheets as at 31 March 2010, the consolidated and
separate income statements, the statements of comprehensive
income, changes in equity, and the cash flows for the year then
ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and
other explanatory notes, as set out on page 69 to 126 .
Directors’ responsibility for the financial statements
The company’s directors are responsible for the preparation and
fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance
with International Financial Reporting Standards, and in the
manner required by the Companies Act of South Africa. This
responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining
internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation
of financial statements that are 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 these financial
statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit
in accordance with International Standards on Auditing.
Those standards require that we comply with ethical
requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance whether the financial statements
are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit
evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s
judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud
or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers
internal controls relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair
presentation of the financial statements 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 entity’s internal control. An audit also
includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies
used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of
the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the consolidated and separate financial
position of Omnia Holdings Limited as at 31 March 2010, and
its consolidated and separate financial performance and its
consolidated and separate cash flows for the year then ended in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and
in the manner required by the Companies Act of South Africa.
