Quall ied Opinion 1 have audited the accompanying Financial Statements Auditor's Report Form 4 (the "Financial Statements") of Gary Strange (the "Candidate"), which comprise the Statement of Campaign Income and Expenses, the Calculation of Surplus or Deficit, and the attached schedules of Contributions for the campaign period from May 2, 2022 to January 3, 2023 relating to the election held on October 24, 2022. In my opinion, except for the possible effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph the Financial Statements for the campaign period from May 2, 2022 to January 3, 2023 are prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the accounting requirements of subsections 88.8 through 88.31 of the Municipal Elections Act,1996. Basis for Qualified Opinion I conducted my audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. My responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. I am independent of the Candidate in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to my audit of the Financial Statements in Canada. I have fulfilled my other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my qualified opinion. Due to the nature of the types of transactions inherent in an electoral campaign, the completeness of contributions and other revenues of goods and services and receipts and disbursements is not susceptible to satisfactory audit verification. Accordingly, my verification of these transactions was limited to the amounts recorded in the accounting records of the Candidate. and I was not able to determine whether any adjustments might be necessary to contributions and other revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities, and surplus or deficit. Emphasis of Matter— Basis of Account and Restriction on Distribution and Use The Financial Statements are prepared to assist the Candidate in complying with the provisions of subsections 88.8 through 88.31 of the Municipal Elections Act.1996. As a result, the Financial Statements may not be suitable for another purpose. My report is intended solely for the Candidate and the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing and should not be distributed to or used by parties other than the Candidate and the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. My opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. Responsibilities of the Candidate The Candidate is responsible for the preparation of the Financial Statements in accordance with the provisions of subsections 88.8 through 83.31 of the Municipal Elections Act,1996. and for such Internal control as the Candidate determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the Financial Statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditors responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Statements My objective is 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 an auditor's report that includes my opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Financial Statements. As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, I exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. I 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 my qualified opinion. The risks of not detecting 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. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Candidate's internal control. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Financial Statements and whether the Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. I communicate with the Candidate regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that I identify during my audit. I also provide the Candidate a statement that I have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence and communicate with the Candidate regarding all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on my independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
