Temasek Polytechnic
report of the AUDITORS
Appointed Under Section 16(1) Of The Temasek Polytechnic Act, Chapter 323a

We have audited the financial statements of Temasek Polytechnic (the “Polytechnic”) for the year ended 31 March 2006 as set out on pages 59 to 80. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Board of Governors of the Polytechnic. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with Singapore Standards on Auditing. Those Standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the Board of Governors, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We draw your attention to Note 2.1 to the financial statements. The Polytechnic has not disclosed related party transactions and outstanding balances with other statutory boards as it was granted relief by the Finance Circular Minute No M4/2005 issued by the Ministry of Finance, from such disclosure. The non-disclosure is a non-compliance with Singapore Financial Reporting Standard 24 Related Party Disclosures.

In our opinion:

(a)
except for the non-disclosure of related party transactions and outstanding balances with other statutory boards, the financial statements of Temasek Polytechnic are properly drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Temasek Polytechnic Act, Cap 323A (the “Act”) and Singapore Financial Reporting Standards so as to present fairly, in all material respects, the state of affairs of the Polytechnic as at 31 March 2006 and the income and expenditure, changes in accumulated surplus and cash flows of the Polytechnic for the year ended on that date; and
   
(b)
the accounting and other records required by the Act to be kept including records of all assets of the Polytechnic whether purchased, donated or otherwise, have been properly kept in accordance with the provisions of the Act.

During the course of our audit, nothing came to our notice that caused us to believe that the receipt, expenditure and investment of monies and the acquisition and disposal of assets by the Polytechnic have not been carried out in accordance with the provisions of the Act during the year.
