2.0 INDEPENDENT AUD1TORS' REPORT TO THE KINGDOM OF DENMARK ON

DEMOCRATISATION, JUSTICE AND PEACE PROGRAMMES PADER NGO FORUM
CONSOLIDATED FUND ACCOUNTABILITY STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30m JUNE 2010

We have audited th~ al.'COmpanying Consolidat~d fund Accountability Statement of Padl!I NGO forum for
the period 01>! July 2009 to 30111 June 2010, and a summary of significant accounting polici~s and other
explanatory not~s,

Management's Responsibility for the COMolidated Fund Accountability Statement

Management is responsibl~ for the preparation and fair presentation of the Consolidated fund
Al.'COunlability StaLemt!l1t in accordance with International Financial Reporting Stilndards. This
responsibility jnclud~s: designing. implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the
preparation and fair presentation of the Consolidated Fund Accountability Statement that is free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting
policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable irl the circumstances.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is 10 express an opinion on the Consolidaled Fund Accountability Statement based on our
audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with InkmationaJ Standards on Auditing. Those slimdards
require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reilSonable
a:>surance whether the Consolidated Fund Aa::ountability Statement is free from materiill misstatement.

An audit involves perfonning procedures to obtairl audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures irl the
Consolidilted Fund Al.'COuntability Statement. The procedures selected depl!nd on the auditor's judgment,
including Ihe assessment of the risks of malenal missl~temt!l1t of the Consolidated Fund Accountability
Statement, whether due to fraud or I!rrOf, In making those risk assessments, the iluditor considers inll!mal
control relevant to tne entity's preparation and fair presentation of the Consolidated Fund Accountability
Statement in order to Ql!sign audit procedures that are appropriale in the circumstances, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's intemill control. An audit ~Iso includes
evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reilSon;,bleness of accounting estimates
made by management, a5: well ilS evaluating the ov~raU presentation of the Consolidated Fund
Accountability Statement.

WI! believe that the audit evidence we have obtainoo is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basi:> for our
audit opinion.

Buis of preparal:ion of the CortSolidated Fund Accountability Statement

The Project's policy is to prl!pare the accompanying statement on the cash receipts and disbursements basis.
On this basis, the Project's receipts arc re<:ognized when received rather than when earned, and expensrs are
recognized when paid rather than when incurred.

Except (or the clfeds of i1ny adjustments that may be necessary in respect of the above matters, in our
opinion, the Consolidated Fund Accountability Statement presents fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Polder NGO Forum for the period 01"' July 2009 to 30'" June 2010, for the year then
ended in accordance with the terms of agreements and complies with the basis of accounting described
