1 Audit engagement letter
1.1 This letter sets out the terms of engagement following the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers ABAS Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “PwC”) as statutory auditors of Golf Channel Company Limited (“the Company”) to audit the financial statements of the Company for the year ending 31 December 2015.
2 Responsibilities of management
2.1 The management is responsible for the maintenance of the Company’s accounting and other records and registers and the preparation of financial statements which are presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with Thai Financial Reporting Standards. This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies, and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
2.2 The management is also responsible for making available to us, as and when required, all the Company’s accounting records and all other relevant records, registers and related information, including minutes of all management and shareholders’ meetings. In addition, you will provide us with unrestricted access to persons within the Company from whom we determine it necessary to obtain audit evidence.
2.3 The management is also responsible to provide reasonable assurance for the safeguarding of assets of the Company against loss from unauthorised use or disposition and for the prevention and detection of fraud, error and non-compliance with laws or regulations.
Responsibilities of auditors
Our responsibility as auditors is to examine the financial statements presented to us by the management. We shall report to the shareholders whether, in our opinion, the Company's financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at the date of the statement of financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the year ending on that date, prepared in accordance with Thai Financial Reporting Standards
Scope of audit
The work that we shall perform to enable us to express our professional opinion will be conducted in accordance with Thai Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements.
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes evaluation the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
The nature and extent of our tests will vaiy according to our assessment of what is material in the context of the Company’s financial statements, our assessment of the Company’s accounting system and, where we wish to place reliance on it, the system of internal control.
Because our responsibility is to report on the financial statements as a whole, rather than by individual units or divisions, the nature and extent of our tests and enquiries at each unit or division will vaiy according to our assessment of its circumstances.
Our audit procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of detecting errors or irregularities, including fraud and other illegal acts, which are material to the financial statements. There is an unavoidable risk that audits planned and executed in accordance with Thai Standards on Auditing may not detect a material error or irregularity, particularly where there has been concealment through collusion, forgeiy and other illegal acts. There are inherent limitations in performing an audit - for example, audits are based on selective testing of the information being examined - therefore errors and irregularities may not be detected and as a result, our audit can only provide reasonable - not absolute - assurance that the financial statements are free of material misstatement.
The work performed during our audit is not designed to specifically identify matters of governance interest or to determine the adequacy of internal control in the Company's systems. However, if any significant matters of governance interest or material internal control weaknesses in the Company’s systems come to our notice during the course of our audit which we think should be brought to your attention, we shall report them to you. Communications in respect of such matters, if any, will be made orally or in writing. Any information on such matters communicated to you, including written reports should not be
