Thomas Jacobsen No 7, Triq il-Kaffis L-Ibrag SWQ 2630 The Annual General Meeting ELSA Lawyer’s Society 15 January, 2010 Subject: AuditReport for the period ending 31 December 2008 I have audited the attached financial report of ELS for the period ending 31 December 2008. This financial report is the responsibility of the Executive of ELS. My responsibility as an auditor is to form an independent opinion, based on my audit, on these financial statements and to report my opinion to you. Without qualifying my opinion, I would like to draw to your attention the following: 1. TheStatutes of ELS state, in article 62, that the auditors shall receive the financial report and the accounts, as well as any other necessary documents, at least 30 days before the AM and that the Executive is obliged to submit the said documents to the auditors. The first version of the financial statements was sent to me on 10 January 2010, well after the limits set in the Statutes.Having said that, the treasurer complied with all auditor’s requests within a reasonable time frame, for which I thank her. 2. Collectionof membership fees due amounted to €4,642.06, which was lower than the budgeted €7,500, but similar to the €4,614.12 collected last year. 3. Incomefrom sponsorships and sale of adverts was nil, compared to a budgeted income of €3,000.However, the result in the previous year was also nil.This should perhaps be taken into account for budget purposes in the coming year. 4. Arelatively large amount (€685) of the association’s funds was held in cash at year end, although most of it was collected in April.This should be avoided for record keeping purposes. 5. Thereseems to be some doubt as to the unsold stock of T-Shirts and their whereabouts (only 4 out of a stock of 20 were sold).If not recovered, the association would suffer a loss of approx €140.

Thomas Jacobsen, No7, Triq il-Kaffis, Victoria Gardens, L-Ibrag STJ 03 The financial statements have been prepared on an ongoing basis, which assumes the continued support from the members of the organisation. The organisation had a profit in its accounts of approximately €1,056 for the year. In my opinion, the financial statements as presented give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the organisation as at 31 December 2008, and I believe that the financial statements have been properly prepared. Yours faithfully Thomas Jacobsen
