INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF
GE CAPITAL UK FUNDING UNLIMITED COMPANY
Any changes in the business that would affect the auditor's ability to forecast potential misstatements;
Management's lack of willingness to investigate and correct misstatements; and
Whether there is a disproportionate number of risks of material misstatement at the higher end of the spectrum.
We agreed with the Audit Committee that we would report to them all audit differences in excess of $215k (2023 : $215k) as well as
differences below that threshold that, in our view, warranted reporting on qualitative grounds. We also report to the Audit Committee
on disclosure matters that we identified when assessing the overall presentation of the financial statements.
An overview of the scope of our audit
We structured our approach to the audit to reflect how the company is organised, with a primary focus on the key drivers of the
company's main business operations and key risks. Our audit was scoped by obtaining an understanding of the company and its
environment, including the controls operating within the company, and assessing the risks of material misstatement related to the
financial statements of the company. The risks of material misstatement that have the greatest effect on our audit are identified as
key audit matters in the table above. In establishing the overall approach to the audit, we determined the type of work that
required the involvement of specialists, as a result we engaged tax, IT, valuation and hedge accounting specialists. Furthermore, we
discussed the approach and scope with the component audit team. This ensured that our audit is both effective and risk focused.
The company is primarily involved in obtaining finance in the capital markets to fund the operations of the wider GEC Group. The
company has established a GBP Commercial Paper ("CP") and a GBP Medium Term Note (‘MTN’) Programme. We have conducted
our audit based on the books and records maintained by the company at 86-88 Lower Leeson Street, Dublin 2, D02 A668, Ireland.
The company is ultimately a wholly owned subsidiary of GEC. In establishing the overall scope of the audit, we determined the type
of work that needed to be performed by component auditors for the purposes of this audit. We used the work of Deloitte member
firm in the United States Of America, operating under our instrcutions, in relation to the testing of the Loans and Advances,
Derivative assets and liabilities and Debt securities issued. We had regular interaction with these component teams including virtual
meetings and review of certain working papers. This, together with the additional procedures performed by Ireland, gave us the
evidence we needed to form our opinion on the financial statements as a whole.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements, other than the
financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the
Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in
our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent
with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify
such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material
misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have
performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors’ responsibilities in respect of the Financial Statements, the directors are
responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view and otherwise
comply with the Companies Act 2014, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation
of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company’s ability to continue as a going concern,
disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either
intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
