EXTRACT FROM THE REPORT OF IVORY LIMITED
Independent Auditors' Responsibility
We have examined the annual financial statements set out on pages 31 to 53.
Basis for Qualification of Opinion
The donation of inventory for R350 000 made to the local Covid-19 Food Parcel Relief
could not be authenticated, as no documentation existed for this expense. Subsequently,
the inventory note is overstated and operating expenses stated in the Statement of
Comprehensive Income has been understated as well.
Audit Opinion
Because of the significance of the matters described above, we have not been able to
obtain sufficient audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion. Accordingly, we
do not express an opinion on the financial statements of Ivory Ltd for the year ended
31 July 2020.
