We have audited the financial statements of the Vingtaine de la Ville de St. Helier for the year ended 31st December 2010 on pages 2 to 4. These financial statements have been prepared under the accounting policies set out therein.

This report is made solely to the Vingtaine's principals, as a body. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we may state to the principals those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Vingtaine and the principals as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Respective responsibilities of Procureurs and auditors

The Procureurs are responsible for the preparation of financial statements which show the general balances of the Vingtaine and its revenue and expenditure for each financial year. The Procureurs are also responsible for keeping proper accounting records and for safeguarding the assets of the Vingtaine and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on, the financial statements in accordance with relevant legal and regulatory requirements and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board's Ethical Standards for Auditors.

Scope of the audit opinion

An audit includes obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of: whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the Vingtaine's circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the Procureurs; the overall presentation of the financial statements and whether the financial statements give a true and fair view and are properly prepared in accordance with the Vingtaine's accounting policies.

Opinion

In our opinion:

• the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the Vingtaine's affairs as at 31 December 2010 and of its results for the year then ended;
• the financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with the Vingtaine's accounting policies.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

• adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
• the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
• we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
