Minerva Equity Limited (formerly DMWSL 881 Limited)
Independent auditors’ report to the members of Minerva Equity
Limited (formerly DMWSL 881 Limited)
Reporting on other information (continued)
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 we identify an apparent
material inconsistency or material misstatement, we are required to perform procedures to conclude whether
there is a material misstatement of the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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. We have nothing to report based on these responsibilities.
With respect to the Strategic Report and Directors’ report, we also considered whether the disclosures required
by the UK Companies Act 2006 have been included.
Based on the responsibilities described above and our work undertaken in the course of the audit, ISAs (UK)
require us also to report certain opinions and matters as described below.
Strategic Report and Directors’ report
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit, the information given in the Strategic
Report and Directors’ report for the period ended 31 March 2019 is consistent with the financial statements and
has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
In light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and company and their environment obtained in the
course of the audit, we did not identify any material misstatements in the Strategic Report and Directors’ report.
Responsibilities for the financial statements and the audit
Responsibilities of the directors for the financial statements
As explained more fully in the Statement of directors’ responsibilities set out on pages 18 and 19, the directors
are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the applicable framework and
for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. The directors are also responsible for such internal control
as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the group’s and 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 the directors either intend to liquidate the group or the company or to
cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ 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 ISAs (UK) 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 financial statements.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the FRC’s
website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditors’ report.
Use of this report
This report, including the opinions, has been prepared for and only for the company’s members as a body in
accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and for no other purpose. We do not, in giving
these opinions, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report
is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our prior consent in writing.
