In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above, present fairly in all material respects the Sources and Uses of Funds regarding the Caribbean Telecommunications Union - Caribbean Regional Communications Infrastructure Program (CARCIP) IDA Grant No. H772-6R executed by Caribbean Telecommunications Union as at and for the eighteen-month period ended 30 June 2017, in accordance with World Bank Financial Management Practices in World Bank Financial Investment Operations. 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 Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Program in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants ("IESBA Code"), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Telephone: 068) 235-5063 Address: ti I Eleventh Street, Buraturin, Trinidud, West Indles Mailing Address: PO Box 10205, Eastern Main Road, San Juan Partners: Re-Lisa Philip Mark K. Superville 1. Chartered Accountants & Business Advisors INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT (CONT'D) Emphasis of Matter We draw attention to Note 2 to the financial statements, which describes the basis of preparation of the financial statements. As described in Note 2 (a) iii, no provision has been made for depreciation. Although this is not in conformity with International Public Sector Accounting Standard No. 17 - Property, Plant and Equipment and therefore is not in conformity with World Bank Financial Management Practices in World Bank Financial Investment Operations, Statements of Sources and Uses of Funds do not traditionally incorporate depreciation as a use of funds. Additionally, International Public Sector Accounting Standard No. 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements require financial statements to be prepared on a going concern basis. Because the Caribbean Telecommunications Union - Caribbean Regional Communications Infrastructure Program (CARCIP) IDA Grant No. H772-6R executed by the Program Coordinating Unit is a finite program (to be implemented over a five (5) year period), the going concern basis of accounting is not relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements. Our opinion is not modified in respect of these matters. Responsibilities of the Program Coordinating Unit, Caribbean Telecommunications Union for the Financial Statements The Program Coordinating Unit, Caribbean Telecommunications Union is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with World Bank Financial Management Practices in World Bank Financial Investment Operations and for such internal control as the Program Coordinating Unit determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' 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 financial statements. 2. PKF Chartered Accountants & Business Advisors INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT (CONT'D) Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements (Cont'd) 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 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 Program's internal control. * Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Program Coordinating Unit. We communicate with the Program Coordinating Unit regarding, 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. pzf 31 October 2017 Port-of-Spain TRINIDAD CARIBBEAN TELECOMMUNICATIONS UNION CARIBBEAN REGIONAL COMMUNICATIONS INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM GRANT NO.
