INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ LIMITED ASSURANCE REPORT TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF YTL CORPORATION BERHAD ON THE STATEMENT ON RISK MANAGEMENT AND INTERNAL CONTROL

 

 

We have been engaged to perform a limited assurance engagement on the accompanying Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control (“SORMIC”) intended to be included in the annual report for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 as set out in the attachment which has been stamped by us for identification purposes.

 

Responsibilities of Board of Directors and Management

 

Management or a delegated committee of the Board of Directors or a specified party appointed by the Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation of the Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control in accordance with the “Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control: Guidelines for Directors of Listed Issues” as issued under the Bursa Malaysia listing requirements.

 

Our Quality Control and Independence

 

The firm applies Malaysian Approved Standard on Quality Control, ISQC 1, Quality Control for Firms that Perform Audits and Reviews of Historical Financial Information, and Other Assurance and Related Service Engagements and accordingly, maintains a system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

 

We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of the By-Laws on Professional Ethics of the Malaysian Institute of Accountants, which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behavior.

 

Our Responsibility

 

Our responsibility is to express a limited assurance conclusion on the Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control based on the procedures we have performed and the evidence we have obtained as to whether any matters have come to our attention that cause us to believe that the Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the disclosures required by paragraphs 41 and 42 of the Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control: Guidelines for Directors of Listed Issues to be set out, nor is the SORMIC factually inaccurate.

 

We conducted our limited assurance engagement in accordance with Malaysian Approved Standard on Assurance Engagements, ISAE 3000, Assurance Engagements Other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information and AAPG 3, Guidance for Auditors on Engagements to Report on the Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control Included in the Annual Report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ LIMITED ASSURANCE REPORT TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF YTL CORPORATION BERHAD ON THE STATEMENT ON RISK MANAGEMENT AND INTERNAL CONTROL- (Continued)

 

 

Summary of Work Performed

 

Our engagement has been conducted to assess whether the Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control appropriately reflects the disclosures required by paragraphs 41 and 42 of the Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control: Guidelines for Directors of Listed Issues.

 

The procedures performed in a limited assurance engagement vary in nature and timing from, and are less in extent than for, a reasonable assurance engagement and consequently the level of assurance obtained in a limited assurance engagement is substantially lower than the assurance that would have been obtained had a reasonable assurance engagement been performed.

 

Our limited assurance procedures primarily comprised

 

(a)   Obtain an understanding, through enquiring of the Board of Directors, of the process the Board (or where applicable, its committees) has applied in reviewing the risk management and internal control system and compare that understanding to the SORMIC intended to be included in the annual report.

(b)   Discuss with the Board of Directors, the actions that the Board has already taken, or being taken, with respect to identified significant failings or weaknesses.

(c)   Review documentation prepared for the Board of Directors to support the SORMIC and assess whether or not it provides sound support for the SORMIC.

(d)   Relate the SORMIC to the auditor’s knowledge of the Company obtained during the audit of financial statements.

 

We are not required to consider whether the Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control covers all risks and controls, or to form an opinion on the adequacy and effectiveness of the Company’s risk management and internal control system including the assessment and opinion by the Board of Directors and management thereon. We are also not required to consider whether the processes described to deal with material internal control aspects of any significant problems disclosed in the annual report will, in fact, remedy the problems.

 

Conclusion

 

Based on the procedures performed and evidence obtained, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control intended to be included in the annual report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the disclosures required by paragraphs 41 and 42 of the Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control: Guidelines for Directors of Listed Issues to be set out, nor is the SORMIC factually inaccurate.
