In our opinion, the project financial statements are prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the accounting policies described in note 2 to the project financial statements, the World Bank guidelines, and the relevant points of the Grant Agreement SCF-SREP Grant No. TF0A0544. In addition, in our opinion, the SOEs submitted together with the internal controls and procedures involved in their preparation can be relied upon to support the applications for the Grant Agreement SCF-SREP Grant No. TF0A0544 withdrawals. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing ("ISAs"). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Project Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the "Renewable Resources and Energy Efficiency Fund" (the "R2E2 Fund") in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the "IESBA Code") together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the Republic of Armenia, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with those ethical requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Emphasis of Matters * We draw attention to note 2 to the project financial statements, which describes the basis of accounting. The project financial statements are prepared to assist the management of the Renewable Resources and Energy Efficiency Fund to meet the requirements of the financial reporting of the World Bank. As a result, the project financial statements may not be suitable for another purpose. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. * We draw attention to note 3 to the project financial statements which states that the closing date of the Project was defined as 31 May 2019. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. www.grantthornton.am GrantThornton Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Project Financial Statements Management of R2E2 is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the project financial statements in accordance with the accounting policies described in note 2 to the project financial statements, the World Bank guidelines, and the relevant points of the Grant Agreement SCF-SREP Grant No. TF0A0544, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of project financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Project's financial reporting process. Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Project Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the project 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 our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs 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 project financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: * Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the project financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. * Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 R2E2 Fund's internal control. * Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. * Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the project financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the project financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. We communicate with the management, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
