Independent auditor’s report
To the policyholders of
Prince Edward Island Mutual Insurance Company
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Prince Edward Island Mutual Insurance Company, which comprise the statement of financial position as at December 31, 2012, and the statement of comprehensive income, statement of members' surplus and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management's responsibility for the financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements
in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, 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.
Auditor's responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those
standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit 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 entity'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
entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting
policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by 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 financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Prince Edward Island Mutual Insurance Company as at December 31, 2012, and its
financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards.
