To the Board of Directors and Management of AngloGold Ashanti Limited
We have been asked to perform assurance procedures on the printed publication of AngloGold Ashantis Report to Society for the year ended 31 December 2006. AngloGold Ashanti Limiteds management was responsible for both the preparation and content of the Report to Society 2006. Our responsibility was to indicate whether the Report to Society fairly reflects AngloGold Ashantis performance in all material respects.
This engagement was conducted in accordance with the International Standards for Assurance Engagements 3000, “Assurance Engagements other than audits or reviews of historical financial information“ (ISAE 3000). We planned and carried out our work in order to obtain reasonable assurance on the reliability of the Report to Society. We applied suitable criteria as relevant to the information reported, where the criteria were embodied in AngloGold Ashantis internal corporate policies, procedures and controls. These criteria are available from AngloGold Ashanti on request.
Where quantitative performance indicators were derived from AngloGold Ashantis audited financial statements, audited by Ernst & Young, we did not audit the financial statements. However, we reviewed derived figures for validity and recalculated these for accuracy.
Non-financial data are subject to more inherent limitations than financial data, given both their nature and the methods used for determining, calculating, sampling or estimating such data. We have not carried out any work on data reported for prior reporting periods, nor in respect of future projections and targets.
Information that is reported on AngloGold Ashantis web-site, but not published in the printed Report to Society 2006, was excluded from the assurance scope.
Based on our work performed, the printed Report to Society 2006 fairly reflects AngloGold Ashantis performance in all material respects.
