Audit Objectives To obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error and are prepared in accordance with an applicable financial reporting framework; and whether laws and regulations have been complied with. 1.4. Audit Scope The audit was carried out in accordance with the, the International Standards of Supreme Audit Institutions (ISSAls) and other audit procedures as were deemed appropriate under the circumstances. This covered the evaluation of the effectiveness of the financial accounting system and internal control over various activities of the Energy Sector Capacity Building Project - EWURA. The audit was conducted on a sample basis; therefore, the findings are confined to the extent that records, documents and information requested for the purpose of the audit were made available to me. Audit findings and recommendations arising from the examination of the accounting records, appraisal of the activities as well as evaluation of the Internal Control System which requires management's attention and actions, are set out in the management letter issued separately to Energy Sector Capacity Building Project -EWURA. As auditor, I am not required to specifically search for fraud and therefore, my audit cannot be relied upon to disclose all such matters. However, my audit was planned in such a way that I would have reasonable expectations of detecting material errors and misstatement in the financial statements resulting from irregularities including fraud. The responsibility for detection, prevention of irregularities and the maintenance of an effective and adequate system of internal control rests with the management of Energy Sector Capacity Building Project -EWURA. 1.5. Audit Methodology My audit approach included tests of the accounting records and other procedures in order to satisfy the audit objectives. My audit procedures included the following: • Planning the audit to identify and assess risks of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, based on an understanding of the entity and its environment, including the entity's internal controls. • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence about whether material misstatements exist, through designing and implementing appropriate responses to the assessed risks. - • Form an opinion on the financial statements based on conclusions drawn from the audit evidence obtained. V Office of the Controller and Auditor General AR/ESCBP-EWURA/2017 /2018 ENERGY AND WATER UTILITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITY ENERGY SECTOR CAPACITY BUILDING PROJECT- PROJECT NO. 126875-TZ 2.0 REPORT OF THE ENERGY SECTOR CAPACITY BUILDING PROJECT (ESCBP) FOR EWURA AS AN IMPLEMENTING AGENCY FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30th JUNE 2018. 2. 1 Introduction The recent developments in upstream petroleum subsector, where international oil and gas exploration companies are exploring oil and gas in Tanzania, call for both, strategic planning and capacity building so as to strengthen the capacity of the Government of Tanzania (GoT) to develop its Natural Gas sub-sector and Public Private Partnerships (PPP) for the power generation sectors. The legal and regulatory framework governing the natural gas industry must be enhanced to ensure that environmental disasters are prevented and facilitate adoption of international best practices in resource management. Thus, Capacity building was needed so as to enable Tanzanians to run its natural gas sub sector effectively and benefit the Nation appropriately. The Government of Tanzania (GoT) through the Ministry of Finance and Planning (MoFP) and Ministry of Energy (MoE) approached the World Bank for financial assistance to implement the Energy Sector Capacity Building Project (ESCBP). Out of the total USD 35 million set aside by the World Bank for implementing ESCBP, USD 2.7 million is allocated to the Energy and Water Utilities Regulatory Authority (EWURA) whereby 62% of the total amount equivalent to USD 1.674 Million is credit from IDA and USD 1.026 million equivalent to 38% is grant from CIDA Trust Fund. 2.2 MAIN OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT The Project Objective is mainly to strengthen the capacity of the Government of Tanzania to develop: i.

Finally, Component E will support Project coordination among the various implementing agencies. All components will be proportionally financed by the IDA Credit and the CIDA Trust Fund. The principal activities of the ESCBP at EWURA are for Sub Components in Component A, B and E as per project appraisal document. 2.5.1 In component A, finances are in sub Components A.2 (Legal and Regulatory Framework) Activity number 3: Legal Support to EWURA's Natural Gas Division. The expected outcome of this activity is that, the Consultant will develop several regulatory tools for natural gas mid and downstream and carrying out Training Need Assessments (TNA) for staff of the legal division. The activities to be financed under this part of the project include a contract for a Legal Advisor to EWURA's Natural Gas Division. The revised budget amount is USD 1.00 Million. 5 Office of the Controller and Auditor General AR/ESCBP-EWU RA/201 7/2018 ENERGY AND WATER UTILITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITY ENERGY SECTOR CAPACITY BUILDING PROJECT- PROJECT NO. 126875-TZ 2.5.2 In component B, finances are in sub Components B.2 (Enhancing Organizational Capacity) Activity number 1: Technical Advice, enhanced tariff modelling infrastructure and training for EWURA's Natural Gas Division; and Activity number 2: Technical Advice, enhanced tariff modelling infrastructure for EWURA's Electricity Division; However, the electricity division solicited funds from other sources to implement the same component, hence; this component was dropped from being funded by the ESCBP instead this activity was replaced with the carrying out of Cost of Service Study for TANESCO. Furthermore, this assignment is aimed at strengthening the capacity of EWURA and other key stakeholders including TANESCO, Ministry of Energy and Minerals (MEM), Ministry of Land Water Energy and Environment (MLWEE), Zanzibar Utilities Regulatory Authority (ZURA), Zanzibar Electricity Corporation (ZECO) and the Rural Energy Agency (REA) to adopt best regulatory practices in the determination of Revenue Requirement, cost allocation and tariff design, to achieve efficient, cost- reflective tariffs in Tanzania. The revised budget amount is USD 400,000. In activity 1 Sub Component B.2: Technical Advice, enhanced tariff modelling infrastructure and training for EWURA's Natural Gas Division. The expected outcome of this activity is that the human capacity of EWURA's Natural Gas Division and tariff modelling capacity get strengthened and that "best practice" Transmission and Distribution (T&D) standards and Codes are established in the gas sector. The activities to be financed under this part of the project include a (goods, services and training) contract which has the following: (a) A Technical Advisor to EWURA's Natural Gas Division to; (i) Advise EWURA in development of gas quality, service standards and transmission and distribution codes, which subsequently will also be developed by the advisor, review EWURA's existing technical skills capacity to regulate the natural gas mid and downstream sector; (ii) Based on the capacity assessment develop a training program on capacity enhancement; (iii) Prepare and support the procurement process including technical design of a data simulation solution for gas transmission and distribution tariff models; (b) Acquisition of data simulation software and hardware for a Gas Transmission and Distribution Tariff Model; and (c) Training of staff (in-house training conducted by Technical Advisor) in gas quality management, standards, regulations, gas production, processing, utilization and transportation; and gas projects financial Modelling. 6 Office of the Controller and Auditor General AR/ESCBP-EWURA/201712018 - ENERGY AND WATER UTILITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITY ENERGY SECTOR CAPACITY BUILDING PROJECT- PROJECT NO. 126875-TZ In Activity 2 Sub Component 8.2: Economic and Technical Advice, and enhanced tariff modeling infrastructure for EWURA's Electricity Division. The expected outcome of this activity was that, a technology based feed in tariff regulation is established, the revenue stream for Small Power Producers (SPP) Renewable technologies development is improved and EWURA's tariff and financial modeling capacity are strengthened. However, the electricity division solicited funds from other sources to implement the same component, hence; this component was dropped from being funded by the ESCBP and was replaced by The Cost of Service Study (COSS_ for TANESCO. The overall objective of The COSS for TANESCO is to assist EWURA to determine multi-year generation, transmission and distribution tariffs as well as wheeling charges for the system and rates for various customer categories. The tariffs should be cost reflective, equitable and send appropriate price signals to key players in the ESI and incentivize investments in the sector. In Component E (Project Coordination), the project supports the Project Steering Committee as well as the Project Management Teams (PMT) of Implementing Agency (IA) which for this case is EWURA. It is intended to enhance the IA' s capacity for procurement and financial management, through the provision of technical advisory services, training, operating costs and acquisition of furniture and office equipment for Consultants' office. 2.6 PROJECT MONITORING AND EVALUATION For the financial year 2017 / 18 which ended in 30th June 2018, EWURA bought furniture, office equipment and computers to establish consultants' office and for use by Project Management Team amounting to USD 19,485.72.

Box 72175, Dar Es Salaam. REPORT OF THE CONTROLLER AND AUDITOR GENERAL ON THE SPECIAL PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF ENERGY SECTOR CAPACITY BUILDING PROJECT- PROJECT NO. 126875-TZ (ESCBP) FOR THE YEAR ENDED JOTH JUNE, 2018 Introduction I have audited the Statement of Cash Receipts and Disbursements of Energy Sector Capacity Building Project- EWURA Project No. 126875-TZ, for the year ended 30th June, 2018 and the notes to the Statement of Cash Receipts and Disbursements, including a summary of significant accounting policies set out from page 13 to 16. Opinion In my opinion, the special purpose financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the cash receipts and disbursements of Energy Sector Capacity Building Project- EWURA Project No. 126875-TZ (Credit Number 5217-TZ and Trust Fund Number 15902) for the year ended 30th June, 2018 in accordance with cash receipts and disbursements basis of accounting described in Note 8. Basis for Opinion I conducted my audit in accordance with International Standards of Supreme Audit Institutions (ISSAls). My responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the financial statements section of my report. I am independent of Energy Sector Capacity Building Project- EWURA Project No. 126875-TZ in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) together with the National Board of Accountants and Auditors (NBM) Code of Ethics, and I have fulfilled my other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my opinion. Emphasis of Matter - Basis of Accounting Without qualifying my opinion, I draw the attention to the Note 8 to the special purpose financial statements, which describes the basis of accounting. The special purpose financial statements are prepared to provide information to IDA and CIDA Trust Fund. As result, the statements may not be suitable for other purpose. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Special Purpose Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the special purpose financial statements in accordance with cash receipts and disbursements basis of accounting described in Note 8. 1; this includes determining that cash receipts and disbursements basis of accounting is an acceptable basis for preparation of the special purpose financial statements in the circumstances, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of special purpose 11 Office of the Controller and Auditor General AR/ESCBP-EWURA/2017/2018 ENERGY AND WATER UTILITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITY ENERGY SECTOR CAPACITY BUILDING PROJECT- PROJECT NO. 126875-TZ financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the entity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the entity or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the entity's financial reporting process. Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Special Purpose Financial Statements My objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the special purpose financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes my opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISSAls will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. In addition, Sect. 10 (2) of the PAA No. 11 of 2008 requires me to satisfy myself that, the accounts have been prepared in accordance with the appropriate accounting standards. Further, Sect. 48(3) of the Public Procurement Act No. 7 of 2011 requires me to state in my annual audit report whether or not the audited entity has complied with the provisions of the Law and its Regulations. Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements In addition to my opinion, I report on the following matters that: • I was able to obtain all the information and explanations I considered necessary for the purposes of this audit. • Adequate supporting documentation has been maintained in respect of all project transactions. • All expenditures incurred are eligible under the Credit Agreement. • Proper books of account have been kept and the financial statements are in agreement with the a unting records.
