Responsibility For The Financial Statements
These Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Finance (COntrol and Management) Act Cap LFN 2004. The Financial Statements comply with the Generally Acceptable Accounting Practices in existence.
The Financial Statements have been prepared in line with First Time Adoption of IPSAS Accrual Basis of Accounting. While all existing Assets and Liabilities of the state as at the commencement of the Financial year 2016 are currently undergoing valuation, the Financial Statements strictly contain activities for the financial year 2016 alone.

Responsibility for the integrity and objectivity of the Financial Statements rests entirely with the State Government. Therefore, these Financial Statements reflect the Financial position of the State Government of Osun and its operations as at 31st December, 2016.
Also, I accept responsibility for the integrity of the information contained in the Financial Statements and their compliance with the Finance (Control and Management) Act 1958 as amended.
In my opinion, these Financial Statements fairly reflect the financial position of the State Government of Osun as at 31st December, 2016, and its operations for the year on that date.
