INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF GOLDEN PAGODA BUDDHIST TEMPLE (Unique Entity No. S92SS0036K) (Charity Reg. No.: 1086) (Registered under the Registrar of Societies)

OPINION We have audited the financial statements of GOLDEN PAGODA BUDDHIST TEMPLE (the “Society”) which comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2016, and the statement of financial activities, statement of changes in funds and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements are properly drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Societies Act, Chapter 311 (the Societies Act), the Charities Act, Chapter 37 and other relevant regulations (the Charities Act and Regulations) and Charities Accounting Standard (CAS) so as to present fairly, in all material respects, the state of affairs of the Charity as at 31 December 2016 and the results, changes in funds and cash flows of the Charity for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Singapore Standards on Auditing (SSAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Charity in accordance with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) Code of Professional Conduct and Ethics for Public Accountants and Accounting Entities (ACRA Code) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Singapore, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ACRA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

OTHER INFORMATION Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Statement by the Management Committee but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

19

Financial Report -3/ WONG & CO Chartered Accountants of Singapore 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, 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 in this regard.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the provisions of the Societies Act, the Charities Act and Regulations, and Charities Accounting Standard, 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.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Charity’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 management either intends to liquidate the Charity or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Charity’s financial reporting process.

AUDITOR’S 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 auditor’s 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 SSAs 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.

As part of an audit in accordance with SSAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: x

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

x

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Charity’s internal control.

x

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

3 20

Financial Report -3/ WONG & CO Chartered Accountants of Singapore x

Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Charity to cease to continue as a going concern.

x

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

REPORT ON OTHER LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS In our opinion, the accounting and other records required to be kept by the Charity have been properly kept in accordance with the provisions of the Societies Regulations enacted under the Societies Act, the Charities Act and Regulations.

Financial Report GOLDEN PAGODA BUDDHIST TEMPLE (Unique Entity No. S92SS0036K) (Charity Reg. No.: 1086) Notes to the Financial Statements For the financial year ended 31 December 2016 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS These notes form an integral part of and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements.

1.

GENERAL INFORMATION Golden Pagoda Buddhist Temple (“the Society”) was registered under the Societies Act (Chapter 311) on 12 February 1992. The Society became a registered charity under the Charities Act (Chapter 37) on 20 March 1995. The address of its registered office and principal place of activity are located at 83 Tampines Link, Singapore 528740.

The financial statements are presented in Singapore Dollar, which is the functional currency of the Society

2.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2.1

Basis of Preparation The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Charities Accounting Standards (“CAS”). The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost convention, except as disclosed in the accounting policies below.

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with CAS requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Society’s accounting policies. It also requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions that affects the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the financial year. Although these estimates are based on Management Committee’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates.

The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 3.

2.2

Revenue recognition Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the services rendered in the ordinary course of the Society’s activities. Revenue is recognized as follows:

2.2.1 Donations Donations are taken up and accrued as and when they are committed. Uncommitted donations, income from charity events and all income except as listed below, are recognized on receipt basis.

Donations-in-kind are recognized when the fair value of the assets received can be reasonably ascertained.

2.2.2

Interest income Interest income is recognized on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method.

2.2

Revenue recognition (Cont’d)

2.2.3 Other income Other income is recognized when incurred.

2.3

Property, Plant and Equipment

2.3.1 Measurement All property, plant and equipment are initially recognized at cost and subsequently carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment includes its purchase price and any costs that are directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

2.3.2 Depreciation Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their depreciable amounts over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives are as follows: Temple Building Computers and software Buddhist artefacts Equipment Furniture and fittings Motor vehicles Office equipment Renovation

30 years 3 years 5 years 3 years 5 years 5 years 3 years 5 years

The residual values and useful lives of property, plant and equipment are reviewed, and adjusted as appropriate, at each statement of financial position date. The effects of any revision of the residual values and useful lives are included in the statement of financial activities for the financial year in which the changes arise.

2.3.3 Subsequent expenditure Subsequent expenditure relating to property, plant and equipment that has already been recognised is added to the carrying amount of the asset only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Society and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.

Other subsequent expenditure is recognised as repair and maintenance expenses in the statement of financial activities during the financial year in which it is incurred.

2.3.4 Disposal On disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the net disposals proceeds and its carrying amount is taken to the statement of financial activities.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

2.4

Preservation of Monuments The preservation of monuments assets relate to rare religious heritage artworks and artefacts that hold historic and artistic importance held for religious and conservation purposes. These religious heritage artefacts are purchased by the Society. The purchase price is used as a reference point for the current value of the asset.

The religious heritage artefacts are held in perpetuity with an indefinite economic lifespan and are not depreciated.

2.5

Impairment of Non-Financial Assets Property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever there is any indication that these assets may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and value in use) of the assets is estimated to determine the amount of impairment loss.

For the purpose of impairment testing of the assets, recoverable amounts are determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. If this is the case, recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.

If the recoverable amount of the asset (or CGU) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or CGU) is reduced to its recoverable amount. The impairment loss is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

An impairment loss for an asset is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the assets’ recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The carrying amount of an asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of impairment loss for an asset is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

2.6

Financial Assets

2.6.1 Classification The Society classifies its financial assets as receivables. The classification depends on the purpose for which the assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition and re-evaluates this designation at every reporting date.

Receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except those maturing later than 12 months after the statement of financial position date, which are classified as non-current assets.

Receivables are classified within “Other receivables” and “Cash and cash equivalents” on the statement of financial position.

Financial Report GOLDEN PAGODA BUDDHIST TEMPLE (Unique Entity No. S92SS0036K) (Charity Reg. No.: 1086) Notes to the Financial Statements For the financial year ended 31 December 2016 2.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

2.6.2 Recognition and derecognition Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Society has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.

2.6.3 Measurement Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs. Receivables are subsequently carried at amortised cost using effective interest method.

2.6.4 Impairment The Society assesses at each statement of financial position date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired.

An allowance for impairment of receivables is recognised when there is objective evidence that the Society will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments are considered indicators that the receivable is impaired. The amount of the allowance is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. The amount of the allowance for impairment is recognised in the statement of financial activities within other operating expenses.

2.7

Fair value estimation of financial assets and liabilities The carrying amounts of current financial assets and liabilities, carried at amortised cost, are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.

2.8

Leases Finance leases Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Society assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the lower of the fair value of the leased property or, the present value of the minimum lease payments. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges so as to achieve a constant rate on the finance balance outstanding. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are shown on the statement of financial position. The interest element of the finance cost is taken to the statement of financial activities over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the lease term.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

2.8

Leases (Cont’d) Operating leases Leases of assets in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are taken to the statement of financial activities on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. When an operating lease is terminated before the lease period has expired, any payment required to be made to the lessor by way of penalty is recognized as an expenses in the period in which termination takes place Rental on operating lease is charged to statement of financial activities. Contingent rents are recognized as an expense in the statement of financial activities in the financial year in which they are incurred.

2.9

Payables Payables are initially recognized at fair value, and subsequently carried at amortized cost, using the effective interest method.

2.10 Receivables Receivables are initially recognised at fair value, and subsequently carried at amortized cost, using the effective interest method.

2.11 Provisions for other liabilities and charges Provisions for other liabilities and charges are recognized when the Society has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount has been reliably estimated.

2.12 Currency translation Transactions denominated in a currency other than Singapore Dollar (“foreign currency”) are translated into Singapore Dollar using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions.

Currency translation gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at the closing rate at the statement of financial position date of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the statement of financial activities.

2.13 Employee compensation i.

Defined contribution plans Defined contribution plans are post-employment benefit plans under which the Society pays fixed contributions into separate entities such as the Central Provident Fund (“CPF”), on a mandatory, contractual or voluntary basis. The Society has no further payment obligations once the contribution has been paid. The Society’s contribution to defined contribution plans are recognised as employee compensation expense when they fall due.

2.13 Employee compensation (Cont’d) ii.

Employee leave entitlement Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for annual leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to the statement of financial position date.

2.14 Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, and deposit with financial institution.

3.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES, ASSUMPTIONS AND JUDGEMENTS Estimates, assumptions and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Critical judgements in applying the entity’s accounting policies The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the statement of financial position date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are discussed below.

Estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment The Society reviews annually the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment based on factors such as operating plans and strategies, expected level of usage and future technological developments. It is possible that future results of operations could be materially affected by changes in these estimates brought about by changes in the factors mentioned.

Impairment of property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever there is any indication that the assets are impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount (i.e. higher of the fair value less cost to sell and value in use) of the assets is estimated to determine the impairment loss. The key assumptions for the value in use calculation are those regarding the growth rates, and expected change to selling price and direct costs during the period and a suitable discount rate.

Allowance for impairment of receivables The Society reviews the adequacy of allowance for impairment of receivables at each closing by reference to the ageing analysis of receivables, and evaluates the risks of collections according to the credit standing and collection history of individual client. If there are indications that the financial position of a client has deteriorated resulting in an adverse assessment of his risk profile, an appropriate amount of allowance will be provided.

4.

Income tax The Society is a charity registered under the Charities Act since 20 March 1995. Consequently, the income of the Society is exempt from tax under the provisions of Section 13 of the Income Tax Act Cap. 134.
