Report of the Directors |
for the Year Ended 31st December 2012 |
STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
The directors are responsible for preparing the Report of the Directors and the financial statements in |
accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law |
the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally |
Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company |
law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and |
fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In |
preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to: |
- | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
- | make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
- | state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; |
- | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. |
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain |
the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the |
company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They |
are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the |
prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |
STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS |
So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the |
Companies Act 2006) of which the company's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps |
that he ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information |
and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information. |
AUDITORS |
The auditors, City, Chartered Accountants, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual |
General Meeting. |
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Abraaj Advisers UK Limited |
We have audited the financial statements of Abraaj Advisers UK Limited for the year ended |
31st December 2012 on pages six to thirteen. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in |
their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally |
Accepted Accounting Practice). |
This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of |
the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's |
members those matters we are required to state to them in a Report of the Auditors and for no other purpose. |
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the |
company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we |
have formed. |
Respective responsibilities of directors and auditors |
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page three, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board's Ethical Standards for Auditors. |
Scope of the audit of the financial statements |
An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient |
to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether |
caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of: whether the accounting policies are appropriate to |
the company's circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the |
reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the directors; and the overall presentation of the |
financial statements. In addition, we read all the financial and non-financial information in the Report of the |
Directors to identify material inconsistencies with the audited financial statements. If we become aware of |
any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report. |
Opinion on financial statements |
In our opinion the financial statements: |
- | give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31st December 2012 and of its profit for the year then ended; |
- | have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and |
- | have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. |
Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 |
In our opinion the information given in the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the |
financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Abraaj Advisers UK Limited |
Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to |
report to you if, in our opinion: |
- | adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
- | the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or |
- | certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
- | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. |
