year then ended, in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and the requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa.

######## Basis for Adverse Opinion

The company's practice is to use its building for its entire economic life ; however, the company did not review the building's residual value and useful life at the reporting date , in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, IAS 16, Property, plant and equipment ). The building is depreciated over a period of 20 years with the remaining useful life at 30 June 20XX assessed as four years. An independent valuer has assessed the remaining economic life of the building at 50 years. Consequently, land and buildings, included in Note X to the financial statements, is understated by Rxxx (20XX: Rxxx); while income tax, net income and shareholders' equity is understated by Rxxx (20 XX: Rxxx), Rxxx (20XX Rxxx) and Rxxx (20XX Rxxx) respectively. These required adjustments are considered material and pervasive to the financial statements as a whole. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the company, in accordance with the Independent Regulatory Board for Auditors' Code of Professional Conduct for Registered Auditors (IRBA Code) and other independence requirements applicable to performing audits of financial statements in South Africa. We have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the IRBA Code and in accordance with other ethical requirements applicable to performing audits in South Africa. The IRBA Code is consistent with the corresponding sections of the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) . We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our adverse opinion.
