DENEL SOC LIMITED
Registration number: 1992/001337/30
JSE Alpha Code: BIDEN
(“Denel” or the “Company”)
FURTHER UPDATE REGARDING DISCLAIMER OF AUDIT OPINION
Noteholders are referred to the latest announcement released on SENS on 31 May 2019 in respect of
the disclaimer of opinion contained in the audit report for the year ended 31 March 2018 (the
“Disclaimer”).
In this regard, Denel is now in a position to provide further details as follow:
1. Operating leases – insufficient audit evidence to support transactions relating to non-
cancellable leases
Denel has now provided sufficient evidence to its auditors and the auditors have indicated that
this matter has been resolved and closed.
2. Review of internal processes to ensure compliance to the PFMA
The internal process review has been completed with an update to the policy dealing with the
prevention, identification and disclosure of irregular, fruitless and wasteful expenditure and
implementation thereof. Secondly, all senior managers and executives have attended PFMA
training in order to ensure understanding of the legislation. Denel has further investigated all
expenditure for the past three years to ensure that all irregular, fruitless and wasteful
expenditure have been disclosed per legislation. To ensure completeness and accuracy, Denel
contracted an external resource to interrogate the process followed in identifying and disclosing
irregular expenditure. This process is underway and expected to be completed during June
2019.
3. Investment in subsidiaries – inadequate evidence was provided to the auditors for
“investment in associates” relating to the purchase of Turbomeca Africa Proprietary Limited
(“Turbomeca”)
The audit of Turbomeca is currently underway, however progress is slow due to system
constraints at this entity. It is envisaged that the audit of Turbomeca will be completed in July
2019.
4. Financial risk management / deferred tax and income tax
It has been agreed with Denel’s auditors that these disclosure matters will be audited on
completion of all the other outstanding matters and at submission of 2018/19 financials.
A further update on the Disclaimer will be released by 31 August 2019.
