KENYA NATIONAL AUDIT OFFICE

REPORT OF THE AUDITOR-GENERAL ON JUDICIAL PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

I have audited the accompanying financial statements of Judicial Performance Improvement Project (IDA Credit No.5181-KE) set out on pages 1 to 12 which comprise statement of Assets and liabilities as at 30 June 2014, the statement of receipts and payments, the statement of comparison of budget and actual amounts, the special account statement and statement of cash flow for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information in accordance with the provisions of Article 229 of the Constitution of Kenya, Section 8 of the Public Audit Act, 2003 and Section II B. (3) of the Financing Agreement No.5181-KE dated 5 December 2012 between the International Development Association (IDA) and the Government of Kenya. I have obtained all the information and explanations, which to the best of my knowledge and belief were necessary for the purpose of the audit.

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

The National Treasury, the Accounting Officer-Judiciary and the Project Coordinator are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International Public Sector Accounting Standards (Cash Basis) and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

The management is also responsible for the submission of the financial statements to the Auditor-General in accordance with the provisions of Section 7 of the Public Audit Act, 2003.

Auditor-General's Responsibility

My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on the audit and report in accordance with the provisions of Section 9 of the Public Audit Act, 2003. The audit was conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require compliance with ethical requirements and that the audit be planned and performed with a view 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 risks of material misstatement of the financial statements whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk

assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Project's preparation and fair presentation of the 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 Project's internal control.

An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

I believe that the audit evidence obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my qualified audit opinion.

Basis for Qualified Opinion

1. Unreconciled Difference

The statement of receipts and payments for the year 2013/2014 reflects total payments of Kshs.316, 781,916.00 while the cashbook reflects total payments of Kshs.317, 296,046.00. The resultant difference of Kshs.514, 130.00 has not been explained or reconciled.

2. Overstatement of Non-Financial Assets

The financial statements under note 8.9 reflects acquisition of non-financial assets totalling Kshs.73,559,961.00 which includes Kshs.69,589,460.00 for civil works and Kshs.14,639,900.00 in respect of architectural consultancy services but erroneously included as part of non-financial assets. As a result, the non financial assets have been overstated by Kshs.14, 639,900.00 while expenditure on consultancy services is similarly understated. In addition, the consultancies did not relate to the respective Law Courts charged. No satisfactory explanation has been given for charging the wrong account.

3 Rehabilitation of Kangema Law Courts

A site visit on 7 November, 2014, to the project which was handed over in May 2014 revealed that the project was not properly supervised and numerous defects, omissions were observed:-

Works worth Kshs.339, 215.00 were not done as detailed in the Bills of Quantities (BoQs) and approved designs despite issuance of completion certificate and full payment to the contractors. Further, un approved works valued Kshs 261,750.00 for archives and Kshs 1,247,253.00 for criminal registry was changed to substructure for phase two and were paid for yet they were not in the plan for the project.

4 Pending Bills

Records maintained in respect of the Project indicate that various suppliers of goods and services had pending bills amounting to Kshs.16, 015,606.00 which were not settled as at 30 June 2014. However, Kshs.14, 342,946.00 or 89% of the bills had been paid as at 27 November 2014 leaving a balance of Kshs.1,672,660.00 outstanding. The failure to settle the bills affects the budget for the following financial year.

..

' Qualified Opinion

In my opinion, except for the effect of the matters described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Judicial Performance Improvement Project (IDA Credit No.5181-KE) as at 30 June 2014, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with the International Public Sector Accounting (Cash Basis) Standards and comply with the terms of the Financing Agreement No.5181-KE, 2012.

In addition, the Special Account Statement presents fairly, the Special Account transactions and the ending balance has been reconciled with the books of account.

3. REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS ON THE JUDICIAL PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT

REPORT ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Judicial Performance Improvement project, set out on pages 1 to 12 which comprise the statement of receipts and payments for the financial year/period ended June 30, 2014, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.

Responsibility for the Financial Statements

The Judiciary and the Project Coordinator for Judicial Performance Improvement project are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS). This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining internal controls 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.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an independent opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance 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 depended on our professional judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In ma.king those risk assessments, we considered the internal controls relevant to the company's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design· audit procedures that were appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the company's internal controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting polices used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion In our opinion the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of financial affairs of the Judicial Performance Improvement project for the financial year/period ended June 30, 2014 in accordance with International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS).

8. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below:

8.1 Statement of compliance and basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with and comply with International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) with particular emphasis on Cash Basis Financial Reporting under the Cash Basis of Accounting. The financial statements comply with and conform to the form of presentation prescribed by the Accounting Standards Board of Kenya.

The financial statements are presented in Kenya Shillings, which is the functional and reporting currency of the Project and all values are rounded to the nearest one Shilling. The accounting policies adopted have been consistently applied to all of the years presented.

The financial statements have been prepared on the cash basis following the Government's standard chart of accounts. The cash basis of accounting recognises transactions and events only when cash is received or paid out by the Project.

i. Recognition of revenue and expenses

The Project recognises all revenues from the various sources when the event occurs and the related cash has actually been received by the Project. In addition, the Project recognises all expenses when the event occurs and the related cash has actually been paid out by the Project.

ii. In-kind donations

In-kind donations are contributions made to the Project in the form of actual goods and/or services rather than in money or cash terms. These donations may include vehicles, equipment or personnel services. Where the financial value of in-kind donations can be reliably determined, the Project includes such value in the statement of receipts and payments both as revenue and as an expense in equal and opposite amounts; otherwise, the donation is not recorded.

,lu. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and cash at bank, short-term deposits on call and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less, . which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value. Bank account balances include amounts held at the Central Bank of Kenya and at various commercial banks at the end of the financial year/period. For the purposes of these financial statements, cash and cash equivalents also include short term cash imprests and advances to authorised public officers and/or institutions which had not been surrendered or accounted for at the end of the financial year/period.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

iv. Pending bills

Pending bills consist of unpaid liabilities at the end of the financial year arising from contracted goods or services during the year or in past years. As pending bills do not involve the payment of cash in the reporting period, they are simply disclosed as an Annex to the · financial statements. When the pending bills are finally settled, such payments are included in the statement of receipts and payments in the year in which the payments are made.

v. Budget

The budget is developed on the same accounting basis (cash basis), the same accounts classification basis, and for the same period as the financial statements. The Project's budget was approved as required by Law and National Treasury Regulations, as well as by the participating development partners, as detailed in the Government of Kenya Budget Printed Estimates for the year. A high-level assessment of the Project's actual performance against the comparable budget for the financial year under review has been included in an annex to these financial statements.

vi. Exchange rate differences

The accounting records are maintained in the functional currency of the primary economic environment in which the Project operates, Kenya Shillings. Transactions in foreign currencies during the year are converted into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Any foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the statements of receipts and payments.

vii. Comparative figures

Where necessary comparative figures for the previous financial year have been amended or reconfigured to conform to the required changes in financial statement presentation.

vm. Subsequent events

There have been no events subsequent to the financial year end with a significant impact on the financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2014.
