Opinion In my opinion, the accompanying financial report gives a true and fair view of the financial position of the Department for Correctional Services as at 30 June 2019, its financial performance and its cash flows for the then year ended in accordance with the Treasurer's Instructions promulgated under the provisions of the Public Finance and Audit Act 1987 and Australian Accounting Standards. The financial report comprises: • a Statement of Comprehensive Income for the year ended 30 June 2019 a Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2019 a Statement of Changes in Equity for the year ended 30 June 2019 • a Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended 30 June 2019 • notes, comprising significant accounting policies and other explanatory information a Certificate from the Chief Executive and the Executive Director, People and Business Services. Basis for opinion I conducted the audit in accordance with the Public Finance and Audit Act 1987 and Australian Auditing Standards. My responsibilities under those standards are further described in the 'Auditor's Responsibilities for the audit of the financial report' section of my report. I am independent of the Department for Correctional Services. The Public Finance and Audit Act 1987 establishes the independence of the Auditor-General. In conducting the audit, the relevant ethical requirements of APES 110 Code ofEthics for Professional Accountants have been met. I believe that the audit evidence obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for myop1mon. Responsibilities of the Chief Executive for the financial report The Chief Executive is responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with the Treasurer's Instructions issue under the provisions of the Public Finance and Audit Act 1987 and Australian Accounting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial report My objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes my opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Australian 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 this financial report. As part of an audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards, I exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. I also: identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, 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 my opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control • obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Department for Correctional Services' internal control evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Chief Executive evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. My report refers only to the financial report described above and does not provide assurance over the integrity of electronic publication by the entity on any website nor does it provide an opinion on other information which may have been hyperlinked to/from the report. I communicate with the Chief Executive about, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in ~internal control that I identify during the audit.
