Report of the Statutory Auditor
To the Board of Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative (DNDi), Geneva
Report of the Statutory Auditor on the Consolidated Financial Statements As statutory auditor, we have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative (DNDi), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2015, the consolidated statement of operations, the consolidated funds flow statement, the consolidated statement of changes in capital and notes to the consolidated financial statements, presented on pages 69 to 87, for the year then ended. In accordance with Swiss GAAP FER 21, the content of the performance report presented on pages 4 to 67 is not audited. Board’s Responsibility The Board is responsible for the preparation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with Swiss GAAP FER, the requirements of Swiss law and the charter of the foundation. This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining an internal control system relevant to the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Board is further responsible for selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Swiss law and Swiss Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers the internal control system relevant to the entity’s preparation of the consolidated 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 entity’s internal control system. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
