INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Members of Arusha Centre Society
I have audited the accompanying financial statements of Arusha Centre Society, which comprise the statement of financial position as at December 31, 2018 and the statements of revenues and expenditures and changes in net assets and cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations, 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.
Auditor's Responsibility
My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit. I conducted my audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that I comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the 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 fair presentation of the 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.
I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my audit opinion.
Opinion
In my opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Arusha Centre Society as at December 31, 2018 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Capital assets
Capital assets are stated at cost or deemed cost less accumulated amortization. Capital assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives on a declining balance basis at the following rates and methods:
Furniture and fixtures 20% declining balance method Computer equipment 30%-50% declining balance method
The Society regularly reviews its capital assets to eliminate obsolete items.
Capital assets acquired during the year but not placed into use are not amortized until they are placed into use.
Revenue recognition
Arusha Centre Society follows the deferral method of accounting for contributions.
Restricted contributions are recognized as revenue in the year in which the related expenses are incurred. Unrestricted contributions are recognized as revenue when received or receivable if the amount to be received can be reasonably estimated and collection is reasonably assured. Endowment contribution are recognized as direct increases in net assets.
Restricted investment income is recognized as revenue in the year in which the related expenses are incurred. Unrestricted investment income is recognized as revenue when earned.
Fees and charges are recognized as revenue on accrual basis.
Allocation of expenses
Direct expenses are recorded to the programs directly; salaries and benefits, project administration are allocated to the programs based on the time spent.
The Society's fundraising costs are included in event, project and development costs. All general expenses are included in office and general expense.
Measurement uncertainty
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian accounting standards for not-for- profit organizations requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Such estimates are periodically reviewed and any adjustments necessary are reported in earnings in the period in which they become known. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Contributed services
Volunteers contributes a significant number of hours each year to assist the Society in carrying out its objectives. Because of the difficulty of determining their fair value, contributed services are not recognized in the financial statements.

Credit risk arises from the potential that a counter party will fail to perform its obligations. The Society is exposed to credit risk from customers. In order to reduce its credit risk, the Society reviews a new customer's credit history before extending credit and conducts regular reviews of its existing customers' credit performance. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific accounts, historical trends and other information. The Society has a significant number of customers which minimizes concentration of credit risk.
