2 FEARN & ASSOCIATES Street Matthew Fearn Langley, BC V2Y 0G9 CPA, CGA Auditor's Report The Members of MORTGAGE BROKERS ASSOCIATION OF BRITISH COLUMBIA REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS I have audited the accompanying financial statements of Mortgage Brokers Association of British Columbia, which comprise the balance sheet as at December 31, 2016, and the statement of operations and net assets, and the statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. Management s responsibility for the financial statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit. I conducted my audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that I comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. Auditor s responsibility My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit. I have conducted my audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that I comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about 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 judgment, 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 control 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 the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my opinion. -1-

3 Opinion In my opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Mortgage Brokers Association of British Columbia as at December 31, 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations. REPORT ON OTHER LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS As required by the Society Act of British Columbia, I report that, in my opinion Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations have been applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year. Langley, B.C. May 29,
