In my opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Limpopo Gambling Board as at 31 March 2022, and its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the Standards of Generally Recognised Accounting Practice (Standards of GRAP) and the requirements of the Public Finance Management Act 1 of 1999 (PFMA). I conducted my audit in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing (ISAs).
