AUDITOR'S REPORT I. We have audited the Financial Statement of the "Employment Generation Programme for the Poorest (EGPP)" Project financed under IDA Credit no BD as of 30t June, 2014 and for the year then ended. The preparation of Financial Statement is the responsibility of Management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Financial Statement based on our audit. This project has two components: i) Main Programme Component and ii) Operational Support Component. II. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Statement is free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the Financial Statement. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as, evaluating the overall Financial Statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. III. FAPAD is entrusted to conduct audit on the foreign aided projects only which are part of the Annual Development Program of the Govt. of Bangladesh. There is separate arrangement for maintenance of accounts and audit for non development expenditure of the Government which is done through preparation & certification of Appropriation Accounts & Finance accounts of the Government by the C&AG of Bangladesh. In Main Program Component of EGPP audit & accounts covers only non-development receipts and expenditures which do not follow the existing systems of accounts and audit practiced in Bangladesh. In spite of above non- compliance with the existing system audit is conducted by FAPAD under an interim arrangement and directives from OCAG to satisfy the needs of the Development Partner and the Government. IV. In our opinion, except non-compliance of financial rules and regulations in subsequent observations along with the management letter following the Financial Statement gives a fair view in all material aspects of the financial position of "Employment Generation Programme for the Poorest (EGPP)" of the financial position as of 30f June, 2014 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the cash basis of accounting followed by the Government of Bangladesh.
