The Japan Fund for Poverty Reduction (JFPR) was established in May 2000 and provides direct grant assistance to the poorest and most vulnerable groups in developing member countries (DMCs) of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) while fostering long-term social and economic development. The grants target poverty reduction initiatives with the direct participation of nongovernment organizations, community groups, and civil society. In 2009, the Government of Japan and ADB expanded the scope of JFPR to include provision of support to DMCs through capacity development, policy and advisory, research and development, and project preparatory technical assistance.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Asian Development Bank - Administrator for Japan Fund for Poverty Reduction

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial position of Japan Fund for Poverty Reduction administered by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) (the Administrator) as of 31 December 2011 and 2010 and the related statements of activities and changes in net assets, and cash flows, for each of the years in the two-year period ended 31 December 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of ADB’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis of designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Administrator’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the Administrator’s management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ADB - Japan Fund for Poverty Reduction as of 31 December 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended 31 December 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
