2023 Financial Report 二零二三財務報告 8 Independent Auditor’s Report to the Council of The University of Hong Kong 獨立核數師報告 致香港大學校務委員會 AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. We report our opinion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with the Statutes of the University, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with HKSAs 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 these consolidated financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with HKSAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, 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 for 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 Group’s internal control. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Council of the University. 核數師就審計合併財務報表承擔的責任 我們的目標,是對合併財務報表整體是否不存在由於 欺詐或錯誤而導致的重大錯誤陳述取得合理保證,並 出具包括我們意見的核數師報告。我們僅按照香港大 學之規程向大學校務委員會(作為整體)報告我們的意 見,除此之外本報告別無其他目的。我們不會就本報 告的內容向任何其他人士負上或承擔任何責任。合理 保證是高水平的保證,但不能保證按照《香港審計準 則》進行的審計,在某一重大錯誤陳述存在時總能發 現。錯誤陳述可以由欺詐或錯誤引起,如果合理預期 它們單獨或滙總起來可能影響合併財務報表使用者依 賴合併財務報表所作出的經濟決定,則有關的錯誤陳 述可被視作重大。 在根據《香港審計準則》進行審計的過程中,我們運用 了專業判斷,保持了專業懷疑態度。我們亦: • 識別和評估由於欺詐或錯誤而導致合併財務報表 存在重大錯誤陳述的風險,設計及執行審計程序 以應對這些風險,以及獲取充足和適當的審計憑 證,作為我們意見的基礎。由於欺詐可能涉及串 謀、偽造、蓄意遺漏、虛假陳述,或凌駕於內部 控制之上,因此未能發現因欺詐而導致的重大錯 誤陳述的風險高於未能發現因錯誤而導致的重大 錯誤陳述的風險。 • 了解與審計相關的內部控制,以設計適當的審計 程序,但目的並非對機構內部控制的有效性發表 意見。 • 評價大學校務委員會所採用會計政策的恰當性及 作出會計估計和相關披露的合理性。

The University of Hong Kong 香港大學 9 Independent Auditor’s Report to the Council of The University of Hong Kong 獨立核數師報告 致香港大學校務委員會 AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Cont’d • Conclude on the appropriateness of the Council of the University’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with the Audit Committee of the University 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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 合併財務報表附註 The University of Hong Kong 香港大學 17 GENERAL The University of Hong Kong is incorporated under the University of Hong Kong Ordinance (Chap. 1053, Laws of Hong Kong) and is Hong Kong’s oldest tertiary education institution. 1. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements of the University and its subsidiaries (together, the “Group”) are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented, unless otherwise stated. (a) Basis of Preparation The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRS”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”) and comply with the Statement of Recommended Practice (“SORP”) for the University Grants Committee (“UGC”) – Funded Institutions in Hong Kong published and effective in September 2015 by the UGC. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (“FVPL”), which are carried at fair value. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with HKFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements, are disclosed in Note 35. (i) The adoption of amendments to existing standards and interpretations The Group has adopted the following amendments to existing standards which are relevant to the Group’s operations and are mandatory for the financial year ended 30 June 2023: 簡介 香港大學是在香港大學條例(香港法例第一零五三章) 下成立,而亦是在香港擁有最長久歷史的高等教育學 府。 主要會計政策 除另有說明外,主要會計政策在所列報的所有年 度內貫徹應用。本大學與其附屬公司(「本機構」) 於編制合併財務報表時所採用之主要會計政策載 列如下: (a) 編制基準 本機構的合併財務報表乃依據香港會計師 公會(「HKICPA」)頒佈之香港財務報告準則 (「HKFRS」),與及採納由大學教育資助委員 會(「教資會」或「UGC」)於二零一五年九月 發出並已生效之教資會資助院校的建議準則 (「SORP」)所編制。 本合併財務報表乃按照持續經營為基準和歷 史成本法編制,並對透過損益列賬財務資產 之公平值重估作出修訂。 編制符合香港財務報告準則的合併財務報表 需要使用若干關鍵會計估算。這亦需要管理 層在應用本機構會計政策的過程中行使其判 斷。涉及高度的判斷或高度複雜性的範疇, 或涉及對合併財務報表屬重大假設和估算的 範疇,詳見附註35。 (i) 採納已修改財務報告準則及詮釋 在二零二三年六月三十日年度,本機構 採納下列與其業務相關之已修改財務報 告準則:
