The leadership contestant financing report has been prepared by the financial agent for Michael de Jong based on the financial reporting provisions of Part 10 of the Election Act. Financial Agent's Responsibility for the Leadership Contestant Financing Report The financial agent is responsible for the preparation of the leadership contestant financing report in accordance with the financial reporting provisions of Part 1O of the Election Act, and for such internal control as the financial agent determines is necessary to enable the preparation of a leadership contestant financing report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Auditors' Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the leadership contestant financing report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards as required by Section 214 of the Election Act (British Columbia). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the leadership contestant financing report is free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the leadership contestant financing report. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement of the leadership contestant financing report, whether due to error or fraud. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the financial agent's preparation of the leadership contestant financing report 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 these internal controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the financial agent, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the leadership contestant financing report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion. Basis for Qualified Opinion Due to the nature of the transactions inherent in any leadership contestant campaign, the completeness of contributions and other revenue and expenses is not susceptible to satisfactory audit verification. Accordingly, our verification of these transactions was limited to the amounts recorded in the leadership contestant financing records and we were not able to determine whether any adjustments might be necessary to the leadership contestant financing report. l.••·..~·····,•-.·J1 ,. 1 •1•.. , M A N N I N G E L L l C) ·r ~I · rifAi.iil :w1-J.001 McCallum Road, Abbotsford, BC, Canada V7.S JN5 ,\CCOUNTANIS Ix ,1us,N1:,s ADVISOR, l1::_r1 Tel: 604. 557. 5750 Fax: 604. 850. 7399 Toll f'ree: 604. 857. 9509 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT Qualified Opinion In our opinion, except for the effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, the leadership contestant financing report of Michael de Jong for the British Columbia Liberal Party leadership selection held on February 3, 2018 is prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the financial reporting provisions of Part 10 of the Election Act.
