We are the auditors of Temasek Holdings (Private) Limited (“Temasek”). We
have audited the statutory consolidated financial statements of Temasek and
its subsidiaries (the “Group”) for the financial years ended 31 March 2008
to 2019 and have issued unmodified audit reports.
The statutory consolidated financial statements for the financial years
ended 31 March 2002 to 2007 were audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
whose auditors’ reports
were also unmodified.
Under the Singapore Companies Act, Chapter 50, Temasek is an exempt
private company and is not required to publish its statutory
consolidated financial statements.
In the financial year ended 31 March
2019, the Group adopted International Financial Reporting Standards and
Singapore Financial Reporting Standards International.
Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the
Group Financial Summary for the financial years ended 31 March 2002 to
2019. The Group Financial Summary consists of the Group Income
Statements, Group Balance Sheets and Group Cash Flow Statements as at
and for the financial years ended 31 March 2002 to 2019 and Group
Statements of Changes in Equity for the financial years ended 31 March
2018 and 2019, which is derived from the statutory consolidated
financial statements that were prepared in accordance with applicable
financial reporting standards, for inclusion in the Temasek Review. The
Group Financial Summary does not contain all the disclosures required by
the applicable financial reporting standards applied in the preparation
of the statutory consolidated financial statements. Reading the Group
Financial Summary, therefore, is not a substitute for reading the
statutory consolidated financial statements.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on whether the Group
Financial Summary for the financial years ended 31 March 2004 to 2019 is
consistent, in all material respects, with the statutory consolidated
financial statements based on our procedures, which were conducted in
accordance with Singapore Standard on Auditing (SSA) 810 (Revised) -
Engagements to Report on Summary Financial Statements.
In our opinion, the accompanying Group Financial Summary for the
financial years ended 31 March 2004 to 2019 is consistent, in all
material respects, with the statutory consolidated financial statements
for each of the respective years.
The Group Financial Summary for the financial years ended 31 March 2002
to 2003 were extracted from the statutory consolidated financial
statements for each of the respective years.
