financ'sal statements, for ensuring that they give a true and

fair vicar of the state of the Mental Health Commission`s

affairs and of its income and expenditure, and for ensuring

the reguEarit}+ ofi transactions.

Responsibilities of the Comptroller and Auditor

General

My responsibility is to audit the financial statements and

report on them in accordance wi#h applicable law.

My audit is conducted ~y reference to the special

considera#ions which attach to State bodies in relation to

their rnanagsrnen€ and operation.

My audit is carriECf oaf in accordance tivi#h the In#ernational

Skandards nn Audifing {UK and lre3and) and in compliancy

with the Auditing practices Board's Ethical Standards flat

Scope of Audit of the Financial Ste#ements

An audit involves oaiaining evidence about the amounts

and d9sclosures in the ~n~r~cial statements, sufficseni to

give r~asanable assurance that the financial statements

accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Prac#ice

in Ireland; give a true and fair view of the sta#e ofi the
