In our opinion, except for the possible impact of the matters described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion Section of the report, the accompanying financial statements of the Campaign for the period ended December 31, 2022 are prepared in all material respects, in accordance with the financial reporting provisions of Section 88 of the Municipal Elections Act, 1996 and the Candidates' Guide for Ontario Municipal Council and School Board Elections. Basis for Qualified Opinion Due to the inherent Nature of the transactions of organization of this type, the completeness of the various categories of income and expenses is not susceptible to satisfactory audit verifications. Accordingly, our verification of income and expenses was limited to the amounts recorded in the records of the Campaign and we were not able to determine whether any adjustments might be necessary to income, expenses and period surplus/deficit for the campaign period from June 30, 2022 to December 31, 2022 and assets and liabilities as at December 31, 2022. We conducted our review in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Campaign in accordance with the ethical requirements the are relevant to our review of the financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the review evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified opinion. Emphasis of Matter -Basis of Accounting and Restriction on Distribution The financial statements are prepared in accordance with provision of Section 88 of the Municipal Elections Act and the Candidates' Guide for Ontario Municipal Council and School Board Elections Act. As a result, the financial statements may not be suitable for another purpose. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. Responsibilities of Chief Financial Officer of the Shaheen Butt campaign for the Financial Statements The Chief Financial Officer of the Shaheen Butt campaign is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the financial reporting provisions of Section 88 of the Municipal Elections Act and the Candidates' Guide for Ontario Municipal Council and School Board Elections and for such internal control as the Chief Financial Officer determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Chief Financial Officer is responsible for overseeing the Campaigns financial report process. Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a report includes our qualified opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee the an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exits. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not det6ecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
