Opinion
We have audited the Financial Statements of Beruwala Resorts PLC (“the Company”) and the Consolidated Financial Statements of the
Company and its Subsidiary (‘the Group), which comprise the Statement of Financial Position as at 31st March 2021, and the Statement
of Profit and Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, Statement of Changes in Equity and Statement of Cash Flows for the year then
ended, and notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant Accounting Policies and Other Explanatory Notes.
In our opinion, the accompanying Financial Statements of the Company and the Group give a True and Fair view of the Financial Position
of the Company and the Group as at 31st March 2021, and of their Financial Performance and Cash Flows for the year then ended in
accordance with Sri Lanka Accounting Standards.
Basis of Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Sri Lanka Auditing Standards (SLAuS). Our responsibilities under those standards are
further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are Independent in
accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka, and we have fulfilled our other ethical
responsibilities in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka. We believe that the
audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Financial Statements
of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Financial Statements, and in forming our opinion
thereon.
We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the Audit of Financial Statements section of our
report, including in relation to those matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond
to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the
procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our opinion on the accompanying financial statements.
1. Management assessment of the potential impacts of Corona virus Our Audit procedures included,

Other information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, but
does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the Financial Statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion
thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider
whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise
appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this
other information, we are required to report that fact.
Responsibilities of Management and those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements.
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance
with Sri Lanka Accounting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of
Consolidated Financial Statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the Consolidated
Financial Statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as
applicable, matters related to Going Concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to
liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Our Objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance
is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Sri Lanka Auditing Standards will always
detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in
the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated
financial statements.
We also :
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error,
design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate
to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one
resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal
control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Company’s internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures
made by the management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit
evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw
attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are
inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s
report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
19
Beruwala Resorts PLC l Annual Report 2020/ 2021
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures,
and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that
achieves fair presentation.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the
Company to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and
performance of the Company audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
• We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of
the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those Charged with Governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding
independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our
independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the
audit of the Financial Statements of the current year and are therefore the Key Audit Matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s
report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that
a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to
outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
As required by section 163 (2) of the Companies Act No. 07 of 2007, we have obtained all the information and explanations that were
required for the audit and as far as appears from our examination, proper accounting records have been kept by the Company.
