REPUBLIC OF SERBIA
THE INNOVATION FUND
Independent Auditor’s Report
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Innovation Fund of the Republic of Serbia (hereinafter: the Innovation Fund), which comprise the Project Sources and Uses of Funds (the Summary of Funds Received), the Uses of Funds by Project Activity (the Summary of Expenditures) and the Statement of Designated Account of the Serbia Innovation Project. The financial statements have been prepared by management of the Innovation Fund based on the financial reporting provisions of the EC IPA Grant Agreement and related Project Agreement dated 5 December 2011 between the Innovation Fund of the Republic of Serbia and International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), acting as administrator of funds provided by the European Commission (EC) under the European Union Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance Trust Fund, EC Grant No. TF011257.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of these financial statements in accordance with the financial reporting provisions of the EC IPA Grant Agreement, EC Grant No. TF011257, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements, based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of the financial statements 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 entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements of the Innovation Fund for the period from 1 January 2015 to 16 January 2016 are prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the financial reporting provisions of the EC IPA Grant Agreement, EC Grant No. TF011257.
Other Matter
In addition to the ISA requirements to plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement, in accordance with requirements of the Contract for Consultants’ Services, we plan and perform the audit in order to obtain reasonable assurance about whether operations are in compliance with Manual for Mini Grants program and Manual for Matching Grants Program.
Basis of Accounting and Restriction on Distribution and Use
Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 to the financial statements, which describe the basis of accounting. The financial statements are prepared to assist the Innovation Fund to comply with the financial reporting provisions of the Agreement referred to above. As a result, the financial statements may not be suitable for another purpose. Our report is intended solely for the Innovation Fund, EC and IBRD and should not be distributed to or used by parties other than the Innovation Fund, EC or IBRD.
