Members’
Responsibility
I have audited the financial statements of Kenya Investment Authority for the year ended 30th June, 2007
set out on pages 4 to 10 which comprise the balance sheet as at 30th June, 2007, the income statement,
statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement for the year then ended, and a summary of
significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 14
of the Public Audit Act, 2003. I have obtained all the information and explanation which, to the best of my
knowledge and belief, were necessary for the purpose of the audit.
My responsibility is to express an independent opinion on the financial statements based on the audit. The
audit was conducted in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require
compliance with ethical requirements and that the audit be planned and performed with a view to obtaining
reasonable assurance that 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 judgments, whether due to fraud
or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal controls 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 Authority’s internal controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting
policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Board, as well as evaluating
the overall presentation of the financial statements. I believe the audit provides a reasonable basis for my
opinion.
Opinion
In my opinion, proper books of account have been kept and the accompanying financial statements give a
true and fair view of the state of the financial affairs of the Authority as at 30th June, 2007 and of its surplus
and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards
and comply with the Investment Promotion Act, 2004.
