In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2020, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) together with ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in the State of Kuwait, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the (IESBA Code). We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Key Audit Matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We identified the following key audit matter: Valuation of investment properties Investment properties as of December 31, 2020 amounting to KD 168,806,596 form a significant part of the total assets of the Group. The determination of the fair value of such properties is a subjective area and is highly dependent on judgements and estimates. Accordingly, the valuation of investment properties is considered a key audit matter. The Group performs an annual valuation exercise through licensed valuers to determine the fair value of the investment properties. These valuations are dependent on certain key assumptions such as estimated rental revenues, discount rates, occupancy rates, market knowledge, developers’ risk and historical transactions. In estimating the fair value of investment properties, valuers used the comparable market price, income capitalization and discounted cash flow techniques and had considered the nature and usage of the investment properties. We reviewed the valuation reports on a sample basis from the licensed valuers and checked the adequacy of disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, which is included in Note 9.
