Report of the auditors of the Governing Council of Insurance Institute of Zambia

We have audited the financial statements of the Insurance Institute of Zambia which comprise the balance sheet at 31 December 2007,and the income statement, the statement of changes in cashflows for the year then ended, and the notes to the financial statements, which include a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes set out on pages 7 to 8.

Respective responsibilities of Council members and auditors

The directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of these financial statements on the basis of accounting described in the accounting policies on page 10, for the shareholders and other interested parties. This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining internal controls relevant to the preparation and presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error and selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Auditor?s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express our opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing issued by the International Federation of Accountants. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether financial statements are free from material misstatements.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. These procedures selected depend on the auditor?s judgment, including the assessment of risk of material misstatement of financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity?s preparation and presentation of financial statements 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 entity?s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements have been prepared, in accordance with the basis of accounting policies on pages 7 to 8 and give the true and fair view of the institute?s affairs as at 31 December 2007 and of its deficit and cash flows for the year then ended.
