Basis of opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with
International 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 directors, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

and fair view of the state of affairs of the Center for the study

expenditure in accordance with International Accounting
Standards.
