INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the members of Independence Group NL

Report on the Financial Report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Independence Group NL, which comprises the

consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June 2015, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other

comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated

statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting

policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity

comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the

financial year.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a

true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the

Corporations Act 2001

and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the

financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to

fraud or error. In Note 2(a)(i), the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB

101

Presentation of Financial Stat

ements, that the financial statements comply with

International

Financial Reporting Standards

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our

audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with

relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain

reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in

the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the

assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error.

In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the company’s

preparation of the financial report that gives 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 company’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 report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis

for our audit opinion.
