Auditor’s Responsibility

The responsibility of the Auditor shall not be limited to the following

• To examine and express an opinion on the financial statements of ChildFund Mozambique based on an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing;
• The audit is expected to involve performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements;
• The audit is also expected to involve a review of the Organization’s internal controls, evaluation of the appropriateness of accounting policies used, the reasonableness of accounting estimates made as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements;
• Preparation of a Management Letter on the review of internal controls and other matters arising from the audit which should be brought to the attention of ChildFund Mozambique Management;
• Presentation to ChildFund Mozambique Management the audit report and findings;
• Signing of the audit report on the financial statements under the name of the firm;

• The Audit should be conducted in 30 days and the drafted report submitted on 6^th February 2023 while signed Audit report should be submitted by 13^th February 2023.

We also need to bring to your attention that funds for the 2 local partners are transmitted to the local partner through the country office and are audited separately.

As a result, this transmittal for the local partners is recognized as income upon being received by ChildFund Mozambique as indicated in the attached trial balance under accounts 40102 MT65,451,373 and 40103 (MT 10,579,619) on page 2.

The same is expensed upon being transmitted to the local partners, this is captured under account no 90000 (MT65,451,373) and account no 91000(MT 10,579,619) hence most likely less time will be spent auditing this income and expenditure as the same is audited separately at the local partner level.

It’s in this regard that you are requested to send your quotations for provision of audit services for the year ended 30th June 2021, in a sealed envelope marked REF: Audit services ChildFund Mozambique, and dropped in our office.
