Auditors Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We
conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of
Interim and other Financial Reports Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state
whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us
believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a
true and fair view of the consolidated entitys financial position as at 31 December 2009 and its
performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134
Interim Financial Reporting, the Corporations Regulations 2001. As the auditor of Integrated Legal
Holdings Limited and the entities it controlled during the half-year, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply
with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for
financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is
substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and
consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters
that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act
2001. We have given to the directors of the company a written Auditors Independence Declaration a copy
of which is included in the Directors Report.
Conclusion
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe
that the half-year financial report of Integrated Legal Holdings Limited is not in accordance with:
a.
giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entitys financial position as at 31 December
2009 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
ii)
complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the
Corporations Regulations 2001.
