Nuru Ethiopia Final Audit Report 2019
Nuru Ethiopia Final Audit Report 2019
OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS ON THE ENTITY NURU INTERNATIONAL ETHIOPIA
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Nuru international Ethiopia for the year
ended December 31, 2019, which comprise: (i) a statement of financial performance; (ii) a statement of
financial position; (iii) a statement of changes in net assets; (iv) a statement of cash flows; (v) a
statement of comparison of budget and actual amounts and (v) a summary of significant accounting
policies and other explanatory information.
Management’s responsibility for the financial statements
The Nuru international Ethiopia Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of
the financial statements in accordance with Accrual base International Public Sector Accounting
Standards, charities and societies proclamation number 1113/2019 and for such internal control as the
management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with the 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 the auditors’ 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, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s
preparation and fair presentation 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 accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the

Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 31 December 2019
1 Reporting entity
These financial statements, for the year ended 31 December 2019, are the first the Organization has
prepared in accordance with International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) as issued by
the International Public Sector Accounting Standards Board (IPSASB).
The Financial Statements of Nuru International Ethiopia have been prepared in accordance with
International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS). The financial statements are presented in
Ethiopian Birr, which is the functional and reporting currency of the entity. The accounting policies
have been consistently applied to all the years presented.
The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, unless stated otherwise.
The cash flow statement is prepared using the indirect method. The financial statements are
prepared on accrual basis.
The preparation of financial statements requires judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect
the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The
key judgements management made in preparing the financial statements are as follows:
Key estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to
accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision
affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both
the period of revision and future periods.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and cash at bank, deposits on call and highly
liquid investments with an original maturity of 3 months or less, which are readily convertible to
known amounts of cash and are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.
4.2 Receivables from exchange transaction and non-exchange transactions
Receivables from exchange transactions are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently
08
measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A
provision for impairment of receivables is established when there is objective evidence that Nuru
International Ethiopia will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of
the receivables.
Receivables from non-exchange transactions comprises grants confirmed by donors for which
Nuru International Ethiopia has signed grant agreement. These receivables are initially assessed at
nominal amount or face value; that is, the receivable reflects the amount of grant as shown in grant
agreement. These receivables are subsequently tested for impairment.
4.3 Inventories
Inventory is measured at cost upon initial recognition. To the extent that inventory was received
through non-exchange transactions (for no cost or for a nominal cost), the cost of the inventory is
its fair value at the date of acquisition.
Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition are accounted for, as
follows:
Raw materials: purchase cost using the weighted average cost method
Finished goods and work in progress: cost of direct materials and labor and a proportion of
manufacturing overheads based on the normal operating capacity, but excluding borrowing
costs
After initial recognition, inventory is measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value.
However, to the extent that a class of inventory is distributed or deployed at no charge or for a
nominal charge, that class of inventory is measured at the lower of cost and current replacement
cost.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of operations, less the
estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale, exchange, or
distribution.
Inventories are recognized as an expense when deployed for utilization or consumption in the
ordinary course of operations of the Entity.
Financial assets within the scope of IPSAS 29 Financial Instruments: Recognition and
Measurement are classified as financial assets at fair value through surplus or deficit, loans and
receivables, held-to- maturity investments or available-for-sale financial assets, as appropriate.
The Entity determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments
that are not quoted in an active market. After initial measurement, such financial assets are
subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less impairment.
Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and
fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. Losses arising from impairment
are recognized in the surplus or deficit.
4.4.3 Held-to-maturity
Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities are
classified as held to maturity when the Entity has the positive intention and ability to hold it to
maturity. After initial measurement, held-to-maturity investments are measured at amortized cost
using the effective interest method, less impairment. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into
account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the
effective interest rate. The losses arising from impairment are recognized in surplus or deficit.
The Entity assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that a financial
asset is impaired. A financial asset is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective
evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial
recognition of the asset (an incurred ‘loss event’) and that loss event has an impact on the
estimated future cash flows of the financial asset that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of
impairment may include the following indicators:
Intangible assets are stated at historical cost less accumulated amortization and any impairment
losses. Amortization is provided over the estimated useful life using the straight-line method.
Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. The carrying
amount includes the replacement cost of components of an existing investment property at the
time that cost is incurred if the recognition criteria are met and excludes the costs of day-to-day
maintenance of an investment property.
Investment property acquired through a non-exchange transaction is measured at its fair value at
the date of acquisition. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured
using the cost model and are depreciated over the life estimated by management.
Investment properties are derecognized either when they have been disposed of or when the
investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit or service
potential is expected from its disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the
carrying amount of the asset is recognized in the surplus or deficit in the period of de-recognition.
Transfers are made to or from investment property only when there is a change in use.
All property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation. Cost includes
expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Where an asset (other than
land) is acquired for nil or nominal consideration the asset is initially recognised at fair value,
where fair value can be reliably determined, and a credit recognised as income in the statement
of financial performance.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset,
as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits or service potential
associated with the item will flow to Nuru International Ethiopia and the cost of the item can be
measured reliably. The carrying amount of a replaced part is derecognized. All repair and
maintenance is charged to the statement of financial performance during the financial period in
which it is incurred.
Depreciation on assets is charged on a straight-line basis at rates calculated to allocate the cost
or valuation of the asset less any estimated residual value over its remaining useful life:
Office Furniture
1 10 10% 0
Office Equipments (Photo copy machines,
printers, scanners, Ventilators, Water
2 distillation machine etc. 7 14.29% 0
3 Motor Vehicle 20 5% 0
4 Motor Cycle 10 10% 0
5 Computers 8 12.5% 0
6 Generator 10 10% 0
7 Building 50 2% 0
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end
of each reporting period. The entity assesses annually whether there is any indication that an
asset may be impaired. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable
amount or recoverable service amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated
recoverable amount or recoverable service amount.
4.8 Financial liabilities
4.8.1 Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities within the scope of IPSAS 29 are classified as financial liabilities at fair value
through surplus or deficit or loans and borrowings, as appropriate. The Entity determines the
classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition.
All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and
borrowings, plus directly attributable transaction costs.
After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at
amortized cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognized in surplus or
deficit when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the effective interest method
amortization process.
Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and
fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate.
Other operating revenue arises from exchange transactions in the ordinary course of the entity’s
activities. It comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of
goods and services in the ordinary course of the entity’s activities. It is shown net of tax, returns,
rebates and discounts.
Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is
recognised for the amount expected to be paid if the entity has a present legal or constructive
obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the
obligation can be estimated reliably.
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed as the related service is
provided.
The severance payment due to employees are considered by the entity to be defined benefit
plan. The entity’s obligation is calculated by multiplying the basic salary of employees by the
number of years served by each employee where an employee earn one month salary for the first
year of service and one third salary for each additional year of service.
Re-measurements of the obligation is done each year at the reporting date and additional
obligation shall be recognised as an expense.
The Entity’s net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits is the amount of future
benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods.
That benefit is discounted to determine its present value.
Re-measurements are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
Termination benefits are expensed when the Company incurs cost in relation to termination and
when the Company recognises costs for a restructuring. If benefits are not expected to be settled
wholly within 12 months of the reporting date, then they are discounted.
4.11 Leases
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the
lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any
incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the statement of financial performance on a
straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
Finance leases are leases that transfer substantially all of the risks and benefits incidental to
ownership of the leased item to the entity. Assets held under a finance lease are capitalized at
the commencement of the lease at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present
value of the future minimum lease payments. The entity also recognizes the associated lease
liability at the inception of the lease. The liability recognized is measured as the present value of
the future minimum lease payments at initial recognition.
Subsequent to initial recognition, lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and
reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining
balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognized as finance costs in surplus or deficit.
An asset held under a finance lease is depreciated over the useful life of the asset. However, if it
is not reasonably certain that the entity will obtain ownership of the asset by the end of the lease
term, the asset is depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the
lease term.
Nuru International Ethiopia has entered into property leases of certain of its properties. The entity
has determined, based on an evaluation of the terms and conditions of the arrangements, (such
as the lease term not constituting a substantial portion of the economic life of the commercial
property) that it retains all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties and
accounts for the contracts as operating leases.
4.12 Foreign currencies
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange
rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting
from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of
monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the statement
of financial performance.
Grants
Revenues from non-exchange transactions are measured at fair value and recognized on
obtaining control of the asset (cash, goods, services and property) if the transfer is free from
conditions and it is probable that the economic benefits or service potential related to the asset
will flow to the entity and can be measured reliably.
Rendering of services
The entity recognizes revenue from rendering of services by reference to the stage of completion
when the outcome of the transaction can be estimated reliably. The stage of completion is
measured by reference to labour hours incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated labour
hours.
Where the contract outcome cannot be measured reliably, revenue is recognized only to the
extent that the expenses incurred are recoverable.
Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of
ownership have been transferred to the buyer, usually on delivery of the goods and when the
amount of revenue can be measured reliably and it is probable that the economic benefits or
service potential associated with the transaction will flow to the entity.
Interest income
Interest income is accrued using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate
exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to
that asset’s net carrying amount. The method applies this rate to the principal outstanding to
determine interest income each period.
Dividends
Dividends or similar distributions must be recognized when the shareholder’s or the entity’s right
to receive payments is established.
Rental income
Rental income arising from operating leases on investment properties is accounted for on a
straight-line basis over the lease terms and included in revenue.
The annual budget is prepared on the accrual basis, that is, all planned costs and income are
presented in a single statement to determine the needs of the entity. As a result of the adoption of
the accrual basis for budgeting purposes, there are no basis, timing or entity differences that
would require reconciliation between the actual comparable amounts and the amounts presented
as a separate additional financial statement in the statement of comparison of budget and actual
amounts.
Interest expense is accrued using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate
exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial
liability to that liability’s net carrying amount. The method applies this rate to the principal
outstanding to determine interest expense each period.
Provisions are recognized when the Entity has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a
result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits or
service potential will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of
the amount of the obligation.
Where the Entity expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an
insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset only when the
reimbursement is virtually certain.
The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of financial performance net
of any reimbursement.
Contingent liabilities
The Entity does not recognize a contingent liability, but discloses details of any contingencies in
the notes to the financial statements, unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying
economic benefits or service potential is remote.
Contingent assets
The Entity does not recognize a contingent asset, but discloses details of a possible asset whose
existence is contingent on the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future
events not wholly within the control of the Entity in the notes to the financial statements.
Contingent assets are assessed continually to ensure that developments are appropriately
reflected in the financial statements. If it has become virtually certain that an inflow of economic
benefits or service potential will arise and the asset’s value can be measured reliably, the asset
and the related revenue are recognized in the financial statements of the period in which the
change occurs.
The Entity recognizes the effects of changes in accounting policy retrospectively. The effects of
changes in accounting policy are applied prospectively if retrospective application is impractical.
The effect of change in accounting estimates are recognised in the current and future period
prospectively.
