Report of Independent Auditor
Elephant Reintroduction Foundation, Bangkok, Thailand.

To The Board of The Elephant Reintroduction Foundation

I have audited the accompanying statements of financial position of The Elephant Reintroduction Foundation which comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2013, and the related statements of revenues and expenses and changes in fund balance for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statement

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Thai Financial Reporting Standards applicable to non-publicly accountable entities, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of finacail statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud of error

Auditor's Resposibility

My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit. I conducted my audit in accordance with Thai Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that I comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud of error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of 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. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statement. I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my audit opinion.

Opinion

In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Elephant Reintroduction Foundation as at 31 December 2013, and its financial performance for the year then ended in accordance with Thai Financial Reporting Standards applicable to non-publicly accountable entities.

Other

Since The Elephant Reintroduction Foundation is a foundation which operates for the public benefit and not for profit, therefore changes have been made to the recognition of transactions and the reporting in the financial statements to make them appropriate to a non-profit organisation.
