Audit Report
a. Unqualified opinion
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the financial statements of XYZ Berhad, which comprise the balance sheet as at
31 December 20XX, and the income statement, statement of changes in equity and cash flow
statement1 for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other
explanatory information, as set out on pages AA to ZZ.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia. Those
standards require that we 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 our judgement,
including the assessment of risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due
to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the
entity’s preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view 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 accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates
made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the
Company as of 31 December 20XX and of its financial performance and cash flows for the year
then ended in accordance with Financial Reporting Standards2 and the requirements of the Companies Act
1965 in Malaysia.
Other Matters
This report is made solely to the members of the Company, as a body, in accordance with Section
174 of the Companies Act 1965 in Malaysia and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility to any
other person for the content of this report.
