1. Scope of Services
Based on our understanding during our meeting we believe that you require our
services to assist you in following matters:
The Act promulgated to give charter to the University requires preparation of Financial
Statements as per International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the
Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan (ICAP).
The University has maintained a cash book on MS Excel. Accounts so prepared are cash
basis which needs to first convert into double entry system of accounting. We will
prepared a trial balance for each year end based on the data available on cash register.
We will then prepare financial statement as per disclosure requirements of IFRS
adopted by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan (ICAP).
Other Considerations:
Since the University receives government grants therefore, the disclosure requirements
as per Accounting Policy and Procedures Manual, notified by the Auditor's General of
Pakistan have also be taken care of. Further the cash basis accounts that have already
been submitted with AGP/AGPR needs to be reconciled with the Financial Statements
that would be prepared.
