Bhiksu University of Sri Lanka | Annual Report 2018

Venerable Vice Chancellor's Review.

Bhikku education is the leading role of Buddhist education tradition in Sri Lanka. Origination of Buddasrawaka Dhammapeetaya is a commendable effort taken towards the continuation of Buddhist Education following Bhikku education system initiated at Mahamewnawa garden at Anuradhapura subsequent to the arrival of Mihindu Maha Rahath Thero in the distant past. This institute was established as Buddasrawaka Dhammapeetaya by the act No. 26 of 1996. Bhiksu University of Sri Lanka was established by the provisions granted by the act No. 15 of 2012 and this is the only University in South Asia dedicated only for Bhikku.

This University has been constructed from 2007 at a 30 acre picturesque landscape beyond Malwathuoya with all facilities with the intention of converting this to focal point of the Buddhist Education in Sri Lanka.

This University comprises of Two Faculties and Four Study Departments under each faculty. Degree programmes are conducted according to the teachings of Lord Buddha in order to fulfil local and foreign student's needs. It should be specially mentioned that degree courses have been designed to be able to follow by every graduate.

This university is newly constructed at picturesque landscape beyond Malwathuoya within the limits of Anuradhapura Sacred city in order to becoming a centre of Buddhist education in Sri Lanka. Total Capital approved by the government is Rs. 2200 million. Rs. 1600 million has been already spent and actions has been taken to acquire lands and necessary infrastructure facilities. The amount spent for this purpose is 161 million. Proposed two storied dining hall which accompanies 500 Bhikku students was completed in 2018.

Even though, at present the number of Bhiksu are decreasing in the country. 148 Students were recruited in 2018 and it's a 13% growth comparing to year 2017. Accordingly, nearly 500 Bhikku undergraduates are learning in the country.

This University tries to create a friendly cultural and ethical atmosphere for Buddhist Monks through providing necessary hostel facilities. Accordingly the hostel system of this University is being managed well to provide hostel facilities to the students in the year 2018.

Total number of Bhikku students registered in the Unit of Post Graduate, External degrees and extension courses implemented by this University in order to give opportunity to lay and Bhikku students are interested to get education not only in the Northern Central Province but also in other provinces in addition to Bhikku students selected for external courses in 616. It's a growth of 95% comparing to the previous year.

This Unit is established under the provisions of University Grants commission Circular no. 04/2015 issued on 05.05.2015. The Researches, Innovations and Publications done in the year 2018 is 143.

Bhiksu University of Sri Lanka | Annual Report 2018

In this context more attention was drawn in this year to enhance the facilities such as human resources, library facilities, computer laboratory facilities and welfare. In addition to this most of the student requirements were satisfied with the instructions of the Council of the University. No student protests were taken place during this period. Therefore students were able to concentrate on their studies.

Many activities included to action plan was able to achieve within the year 2018. I believe that the current rapid development in the university would lead to provide an exceptional service to the Buddhism in this country as well as overseas.

1.4 Auditor's Responsibility regarding auditing of Financial Statement. As part of an audit in accordance with Sri Lanka Auditing Standards, I exercise professional judgment and Maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. I 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 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 Company's internal control.  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management.  Conclude on the appropriateness of the management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If I conclude that a material uncertainty exists, I am required to draw attention in my auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify my opinion. My conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of my auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.  Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

My objective is 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 my opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Sri Lanka 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.
