In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the KRG as at December 31, 2018, and the results of its operations, the variation in its net financial assets (debt) and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards. Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the "Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements" section of our report. We are independent of the KRG in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Emphasis of matter – Financial information established for fiscal purposes We draw attention to the fact that the KRG includes certain information in its financial statements that is not required under Canadian public sector accounting standards. This information, prepared in accordance with the model prescribed by the Ministère des Affaires municipales et de l’Habitation (MAMH) Member of Grant Thornton International Ltd rcgt.com 2 and presented on pages 6, 10 and 11, relates to the determination of the surplus (deficit) for the year for fiscal purposes. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the financial statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the KRG’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the KRG or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the KRG's financial reporting process. Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: – Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

  • Exploring Whapmagoostui Cree Place Names
    The Land as an Aspect of Cree History: Exploring Whapmagoostui Cree Place Names DAVID DENTON Cree Regional Authority, Nemaska, Quebec The Whapmagoostui Crees form a small-scale society that has used the same land for many generations. In this paper1 I will examine the results of a project carried out in the 1990s to compile information concerning historical and cultural knowledge relating to places within the Whapma­ goostui Cree traditional territories. The project involved both a detailed place-names survey and the collection of additional information in the form of stories, myths and land-use data concerning particular named places. Toponymy was seen as a useful starting point for understanding Cree perceptions of the environment and of key points within that envi­ ronment, and for obtaining a broad coverage of places of potential cul­ tural and historic interest, based on the assumption that most such places would be named (cf. Hanks & Winters 1986:274). The place-names survey was carried out with 1:50,000 scale maps using a modified version of the "Nuna-Top method," developed by Ludger and Linna Muller-Wille in arctic Quebec and Nunavut (CPCGN 1992). The team consisted of an interviewer, a recorder and a filing clerk, all Crees from Whapmagoostui with considerable knowledge of local geography and traditions. Interviews were carried out with individuals recognized in the community as likely to be most knowledgeable for dif- 1. Editors' note: This paper was presented at the 37e Congres des Algonquinistes held at the Mus6e Canadien des Civilisations in Gatineau, Quebec in October of 2005 but unac­ countably lost between computers during the editorial process.
