Our assessment of the internal control system covered the following areas as applicable:

Summary Reports or Statement of Expenditures

As part of the audit of the Project's Financial Statements (PFS), the auditor is required to audit allSummary Reports or SOEs used as the basis for the submission of withdrawal applications. TheseSummary Reports should be compared for project eligibility with the relevant general conditions, relevantfinancing agreements, and disbursement letter, and with reference to the Project Appraisal Document for

guidance when considered necessary.

Where ineligible expenditures are identified as having been included in withdrawal applications andreimbursed against, these should be separately noted in separate note disclosures and also in themanagement letter, by the auditor. The Project Financial Statements (or included within the notes to theproject financial statements) should be a schedule listing individual Summary Reports or SOEs (used asthe basis of disbursement) withdrawal applications by specific reference number and amount.

The auditor should pay particular attention as to whether:

* The Summary Reports or SOEs have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of therelevant financing agreement.

* Expenditures have been made wholly and necessarily for the realization of project objectives.

* Information and explanation necessary for the purpose of the audit have been obtained;

* Supporting records and documents necessary for the purpose of the audit have been retained, and

* The Summary Reports or SOEs can be relied upon to support the related withdrawal applications.

Deposits and replenishments received from the Bank;Payments substantiated by withdrawal applications;Interest that may be earned from the balances and which belong to the Recipient; andThe remaining balances at the end of each fiscal year.

The auditor should pay particular attention as to the compliance with the Bank's procedures and thebalances of the Designated Accounts at the end of the fiscal year (or period). The auditor should examinethe eligibility of financial transactions during the period under examination and fund balances at the end ofsuch a period, the operation and use of the DAs in accordance with the relevant general conditions.relevant financing agreements and disbursement letter, and the adequacy of internal controls for this typeof disbursement mechanism.

For this Project, the designated accounts are referred to in the Disbursement Letter attached to the GrantAgreement, and Disbursement Guidelines,

Audit Reports

The auditors will issue an audit opinion on the MANAGEMENT AND PROTECTION OF KEYBIODIVERSITY AREAS IN BELIZE PROJECT (refer to the "Project Financial Statements" paragraphabove for a definition of the statements included therein).

In addition to the audit opinion, the auditor will prepare a "management letter," in which the auditor will:

* Give comments and observations on the accounting records, systems, and controls that wereexamined during the course of the audit;

* Identify specific deficiencies and areas of weakness in systems and controls and makerecommendation for their improvement. These should be reported in accordance with thefollowing elements: condition, criteria, cause and effect. It is important that the findings alsoinclude a recommendation to help correct the cause;

* Report on the lack of compliance of each financial covenant in the relevant financing agreement;* Communicate matters that have come to their attention during the audit which might have a

significant impact on the implementation of the project;* Bring to the recipient's attention any other matters that the auditor considers pertinent;

and include managements comments in the final management letter.

The financial statements, including the audit opinion, and management letter should be received by theProject's implementing partner, PACT, no later than July 15th after the end of the audited fiscal year. TheProject's implementing partner should then promptly forward two copies of the audited project financialstatements (including audit opinion) and management letter to the Bank.

General

This includes the maintenance ofadequate accounting records and internal controls, the selection and application of accounting policies,and the safeguarding of the assets of the entity.
