The directors
of Reunert Limited are responsible for the integrity
of the annual financial statements of the company
and group and the objectivity of other information
presented in the annual financial statements.
In order to fulfil this responsibility, the
group maintains internal accounting and administrative
control systems designed to provide reasonable
assurance that assets are safeguarded and transactions
are executed and recorded in accordance with
the group’s policies and procedures.
In presenting the accompanying annual financial
statements, International Financial Reporting
Standards have been followed, applicable accounting
policies have been used and prudent judgements

statements are examined by our external auditors
in conformity with International Standards on
Auditing.
An audit and risk committee, consisting of three
independent, non-executive directors, one of
whom acts as chairman, and two executive directors,
meets at least twice per annum with both the
internal and external auditors to ensure that
internal financial controls provide reasonable
assurance that the group’s assets are
safeguarded and that the financial records may
be relied upon for the preparation of the financial
statements.
