In our opinion [, except for the effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section of our report], the Returns have been prepared, in all material respects at both the individual fund level and in total for the SPRV, in accordance with the provisions of the Insurance Act (Cap. 142) (“the Act”), any regulations made thereunder and any notices and directions issued by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (“the Authority”). Basis for [Opinion]/ [Qualified Opinion] [Description of basis for qualification]* 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 Returns section of our report. We are independent of the SPRV in accordance with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority 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 Returns 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]/ [qualified opinion]. Other Matter – Basis of Accounting The Returns have been prepared in accordance with provisions of the Act, regulations made thereunder and notices and directions issued by the Authority. The Returns are prepared to assist the SPRV in complying with the requirements of the Act, any regulations made thereunder and any notices and directions issued by the Authority. As a result, the Returns may not be suitable for another purpose. [Description of emphasis of matter(s) and other matters, if any]

Responsibilities of Management and Directors for the Returns Management of the SPRV is responsible for the preparation of the Returns in accordance with the Act, regulations made thereunder and notices and directions issued by the Authority, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the Returns that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The directors of the SPRV are responsible for overseeing the SPRV’s financial reporting process. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Returns Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Returns, at both the individual fund level and in total for the SPRV, 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 the Returns. As part of an audit in accordance with SSAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:  identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Returns, 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 one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control;  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 SPRV’s internal control; and  evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. We communicate with the management and directors 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.
