statement of changes in equity and cash-flow statement for the year ended, and a summary of
significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. We are pleased to confirm our
acceptance and our understanding of this audit engagement by means of this letter. Our audit will
be conducted with the objective of our expressing an opinion on the financial statements.
Our Responsibilities
We will conduct our audit in accordance with Philippine Standards on Auditing. Those standards
require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan ad perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether 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
judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness
of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, together with the inherent limitations of internal
control, there is an unavoidable risk that some material misstatements may not be detected, even
though the audit risk is properly planned and performed in accordance with PSAs.
In making our risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation
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
entities internal control. However, we will communicate to you in writing any significant
deficiencies in internal control relevant to the audit of the financial statements that we have
identified during the audit.
Unless unanticipated difficulties are encountered, our report will be substantially in the following
form:
(Form and content of the auditor’s report has not been reproduced.)
The form and content of our report may need to be amended in the light of our audit findings.

acknowledge and understand that they have responsibility:
For the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with
Philippine Financial Reporting Standards;
For such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of
financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and
To provide us with:
Access to all information of which you are aware that is relevant to the preparation of the
financial statements such as records, documentation and other matters;
Additional information that we may request from you for the purpose of the audit; and
Unrestricted access to persons within the company from we determine it necessary to obtain
audit evidence.
As part our audit process, we will request from management and, where appropriate, those
charged with governance written confirmation concerning representations made to us in
connection with the audit.
We look forward to full cooperation from your staff during our audit.
