We have also performed an independent audit of the full consolidated Financial Report of the Bank for the financial year ended 31 March 2001. Our audit report on the full consolidated Financial Report was signed on 24 May 2001, and was not subject to any qualification. |

Our procedures in respect of the audit of the Concise Report included testing that the information included in it is consistent with the full Financial Report, and examination, on a test basis, of evidence supporting the amounts, discussion and analysis and other disclosures which were not directly derived from the full Financial Report. These procedures have been undertaken to form an opinion as to whether the concise report complies with Accounting Standard AASB 1039 “Concise Financial Reports” in that, in all material respects, it is presented fairly in accordance with that standard. |
