All information and amounts disclosed in the Integrated Annual Report is consistent with the Annual Financial
Statements audited by the Auditor-General of South Africa;
•
The Integrated Annual Report is complete, accurate and is free from any omissions;
•
The Integrated Annual Report has been prepared in accordance with the Guidelines on Annual Reports as issued
by the National Treasury;
•
The Annual Financial Statements (Part E) have been prepared in accordance with the Standards of GRAP, as well as
the PFMA, as applicable to the HSRC;
•
The Accounting Authority is responsible for the preparation of the Annual Financial Statements and for the judgments
made in this information;
•
