Our audit approach

Overview

Materiality

Group

scoping

Key audit matters

  • Overall Group materiality: 924 million Serbian dinars (hereafter "RSD"), which represents 5% of the average result before tax for the past three years, being absolute values of profit before tax for the current year and year ended on 31 December 2019 and loss before tax for year ended on 31 December 2020.
  • We conducted audit work at 5 reporting units in 4 countries.
  • The Group engagement team audited the Serbian subsidiaries and performed specified procedures for the Bulgarian and Romanian subsidiaries with the involvement of PwC network firms in the respective countries. Based on the engagement team's instructions, PwC network firm performed directed audit procedures over specific financial statement line items for subsidiary in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
  • Our audit scope addressed 95% of the Group's revenues and 98% of the Group's absolute value of underlying result before tax.
  • Estimation of decommissioning and environmental protection provision

As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material misstatement in the consolidated financial statements. In particular, we considered where management made subjective judgements; for example, in respect of significant accounting estimates that involved making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain. As in all of our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls including, among other matters, consideration of whether there was evidence of bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.

Materiality

The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. An audit is designed to obtain reasonable assurance whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the consolidated financial statements.

Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds for materiality, including the overall Group materiality for the consolidated financial statements as a whole as set out in the table below. These, together with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the scope of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements, if any, both individually and in aggregate on the consolidated financial statements as a whole.

Overall Group materiality

RSD 924 million (2020: RSD 1,019 million)

How we determined it

5% of the average result before tax for the past three years,

being absolute values of profit before tax for the current year

and year ended on 31 December 2019 and loss before tax for

year ended on 31 December 2020.

Rationale for the materiality

Consistent with the benchmark used in prior year, we

benchmark applied

determined that our materiality should be based on three-year

average result before taxation. This benchmark is supported by

the significant fluctuations in the financial result due to the

change of crude oil prices. We have chosen 5% which is

consistent with quantitative materiality thresholds used for profit-

oriented companies in this sector.

We agreed with the those charged with governance that we would report to them misstatements identified during our audit above RSD 46 million, as well as misstatements below that amount that, in our view, warranted reporting for qualitative reasons.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matter

Estimation of decommissioning and environmental protection provisions

Provisions associated with decommissioning, environmental protection and restoration are disclosed in Note 28 to the consolidated financial statements; a description of the accounting policy and key judgements and estimates is included in Note 2 and Note 3.

The calculation of decommissioning and environmental protection provisions requires significant management judgement because of the inherent complexity in estimating future costs, discount rates and maturity of liabilities.

The decommissioning of oil and gas infrastructure is an evolving activity and consequently there is limited historical precedent against which to benchmark estimates of future costs. These factors increase the complexity involved in determining accurate accounting provisions

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

We critically assessed management's annual review of provisions recorded as at 31 December 2021. In particular, we focused on those assets where changes to the cost estimate directly impacted the consolidated statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income rather than being recognised as an asset.

Testing involved understanding of the legal or constructive obligations with respect to the environmental protection and decommissioning of each asset based on the estimated useful life of assets and relevant cost to complete restoration. Of particular note, we performed the following procedures:

  • Identified and tested the cost assumptions which have the most significant impact on provisions by reviewing the actual costs incurred during the year and comparing them to the prior years;
