2023 Annual Report
Section I Important Notes, Contents and Definitions
The Board of Directors, the Board of Supervisors, directors, supervisors and executives of the Company hereby guarantee that
the information presented in this annual report is truthful, accurate and integrate, free of any false records, misleading
statements or material omissions, and assume individual and joint legal liabilities thereof.
Cao Renxian as the President of the Company, Tian Shuai as the Chief Accountant, and Li Pan as the head of accounting
department (accounting supervisor) hereby guarantee the truthfulness, integrity, and accuracy of financial statements in this
annual report.
All directors have attended the board meeting to review this report.
Contents in this report concerning future plans, performance forecasts, and etc., do not constitute any commitment made by
the Company to any investor or related party. Investors and related parties should maintain adequate risk awareness and
understand the possible difference between plans, forecasts, and commitments. Investors are kindly advised to pay attention to
investment risks.
(1) Policy-related risks
Although technologies related to renewable energy power generation are still evolving and grid parity has been achieved in
most regions around the world, there are still a few regions where the power generation cost or the on-grid electricity price is
higher than that of fossil energy, and the unit electricity cost per kilowatt-hour from wind-solar-storage integrated applications
remains relatively high. In addition, considering the various constraints including grid consumption, intermittent fluctuations
in new energy availability, as well as land and taxation, policy support and encouragement from governments are still necessary.
Since the supportive policies are formulated by the governments of various countries, despite of the constant global trend of
energy conservation and emission reduction, major changes in the macro economies of major markets or relevant supportive
policies will affect the growth pace of the industry and the Company’s profitability to a certain extent. To this end, the Company
actively makes global presence, and continually delves into the global market to minimize the impact of policy fluctuations
within a single country.
(2) Risk of gross margin reduction due to intensified competition
As the world's largest PV inverter manufacturer, the Company's core product, PV inverters, enjoys an obvious market
advantage. However, the huge potential of Chinese and foreign markets has also attracted fierce market competition. If the
Company fails to maintain the leading edge in technological innovation, new product development, and cost control, the
products will face the risk of gross margin declination. As such, the Company needs to further accelerate new product upgrade
and iteration through R&D innovation and increasing R&D investment, speed up the research and application of AI
technologies, so as to continually provide customers with value-added services, deliver better customer experience, and
consolidate product advantages in the market.
(3) Risk of collecting accounts receivables
As the Chinese market grows rapidly, the Company puts more efforts in product sales. On perusal of the huge project
investment and long payment term prevailing in China’s PV industry, fast business growth of the Company will lead to a quick
increase of receivables and certain risks in payment collection. To prevent credit risks and accelerate capital turnover, the
Company has formulated strict credit management systems and sale-on-credit policies, and actively reduce the risk of non-
performing loans and bad accounts through legal actions.
(4) Risk of international trade frictions
Currently, some countries restrict PV-related imports and exports, raise tariffs, or set other trade barriers in order to grow
their native PV industry, posing foreign trade risks on the PV industry where the Company operates in. The Company has
developed a series of defensive measures and lean production plans to actively respond to the complicated global situation and
expand the global market. By strengthening the global manufacturing and supply chain layout, improving supply chain
management, the Company strives to reduce trade frictions and other adverse impacts, ensuring that the annual tasks are
completed on time.
(5) Risk of exchange rate fluctuation
2
Sungrow Power Supply Co., Ltd. 2023 Annual Report (Full Copy)
USD, AUD and EUR are the three major currencies used for the Company's overseas revenue settlement. The impact of
exchange rate fluctuations is mainly reflected in the following two aspects: a. Because of the CNY exchange rate fluctuation,
changes in operating income measured in local currency pose a direct impact on the gross margin of main products; b. From
the moment sales revenue is confirmed and accounts receivable is generated to the moment of foreign currency collection, the
Company is subject to exchange gains/losses from the fluctuations in the CNY exchange rate, hence the Company's
performance is also affected. On the foundation of normal operation and relying on specific businesses, the Company takes
various means, including hedging, continuous monitoring, and timely settling foreign currency sales to reduce exchange-related
loss and control operating risks.
(6) Risks in construction management of new energy investment and development projects
New energy projects feature large amount of investment and short project lead time. Such projects involve not only ground
resources but also commercial and residential roofs. For such projects, the investment decision-making is quite challenging,
and a lot of uncertainties exist in project engineering and implementation, which may lead to project delays and jeopardize
timely grid connection for power generation. While challenging the Company's project management, the projects also require
a huge amount of working capital. In response to such risks, the Company makes cautious considerations when selecting new
energy power generation projects to prioritize those with better grid connection conditions, controllable construction cost and
higher gross margin. Meanwhile, the Company enhances engineering management and improves project management. After
entering into sales contracts with customers, the Company reinforces project construction management in a timely manner,
adequately communicates with customers on project progress, and adjusts the work schedule according to the result of
communication, so that the impact of project delay on the Company's production and operation is eliminated or alleviated to
the most extent. By providing customers with safe, efficient and intelligent new energy power stations to their satisfaction, the
Company's brand reputation in new energy investment and development is improved.
The board meeting has reviewed and approved the following profit distribution proposal: Based on a base quantity of
1,468,642,351 shares, a cash dividend of CNY 9.65 per 10 shares (tax inclusive) will be distributed to all shareholders, no bonus
share (tax inclusive) will be distributed, and 4 shares will be transferred from capital reserve to every 10 shares held by
shareholders.

Section III Management’s Discussion and Analysis
I. Discussion and Analysis of Business Situation
In the reporting period, the PV industry grew sustainably and vigorously under the guidance of the global low-carbon goals thanks to
the joint efforts of policy guidance, economic growth, and technological advancement. According to data from the National Energy
Administration, China Photovoltaic Industry Association, and third-party institutions, installed capacity of PV increased by 390 GW
(ac) worldwide in 2023, a year-on-year increase of 69%. In addition to traditional markets such as China, Europe, and North America,
emerging markets such as the Asia Pacific, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa benefited from the continuous reduction in PV
costs and the advantages of clean and flexible PV power generation, developed rapidly with huge potential ahead. In 2023, GW-level
markets increased from 26 to 32, and the diversification of the global PV installation market accelerated. Among them, China's PV
market application grew beyond expectation, with an annual installed capacity of 216.8 GW (ac) and a year-on-year increase of 148%
hitting a historic high. In addition, China's PV industry achieved remarkable results in various aspects. In terms of the industrial chain,
growth continued in the output of main components, including 1.43 million tons of polycrystalline silicon, 622 GW of silicon wafers,
545 GW of cells, and 499 GW of modules, accounting for a year-on-year growth of more than 60%. In terms of export, although the

The Company needs to comply with the requirements on the disclosure of PV industry chain related business specified in the Shenzhen
Stock Exchange’s No. 4 Regulatory Guidelines for Listed Companies — Information Disclosure of GEM-Listed Companies.
1. PV inverters’ conversion efficiency
The indicator “conversion efficiency” refers to the ratio of inverters converting input DC power to AC power, which is inverter’s output
power / inverter’s DC input power × 100%.
By utilizing new semiconductor materials and highly efficient magnetic devices, optimizing circuit design, improving MPPT algorithm,
and optimizing the heat dissipation system, the Company continuously drives inverters’ efficiency to go up. The maximum efficiency
of Sungrow's full range of inverters has reached 99% at the moment.
2. Cost of energy per kilowatt-hour of the Company's PV system
The indicator “cost of energy per kilowatt-hour” refers to the ratio of the PV system’s total investment cost versus the power generated
throughout the system’s life cycle. The total investment cost includes the initial investment and the operation and maintenance
investment throughout the life cycle. The cost of energy per kilowatt-hour directly reflects the power generation cost of the PV system,
that is, the lower the cost of energy per kilowatt-hour, the higher revenue the PV system generates.
Through constant technological innovation and system optimization, the Company reduces investment cost and increases system power
generation, thereby reducing the cost of energy per kilowatt-hour and improving customers' return on investment. By increasing the
unit power of inverters, less inverters are required for power stations to reach the same capacity, and the cable cost is also reduced. By
forming inverters into power units of larger capacity, a maximum sub-array of 12.5 MW can be supported, which further saves the cost
of transformers and reduces the initial investment. Highly integrated inverters and solutions will be widely used. For example, the box-
type medium-voltage inverter not only has the inverter, transformer, power distribution, communication, and smoke detection functions
integrated, but also is built with a PID control box and communication power supply interfaces for the tracking system. By improving
the level of integration, the system cost across its life cycle, including cable cost, construction cost, project management cost, post-
operation and maintenance cost, can be reduced; systems are strongly coupled, which improves reliability and increases power
generation of the power station. The modular design from "device level" to "system level" reduces system operation and maintenance
costs, and higher equipment uptime rate increases the power generation of PV power stations. Intelligent medium-voltage shutdown
solutions feature intelligent algorithm control between inverters, collector circuit breakers, and step-up transformers, achieving zero
loss standby for step-up transformers and further improving ROI for customers. The world’s first 2000 V high voltage system pushes
the boundary of cost reduction and efficiency increase further, enabling a significant improvement in the economics of power stations.
3. PV system’s grid friendliness
As PV systems are being utilized at large scale, the penetration rate of PV increases year by year. Inverters are directly connected to
the grid as a link for energy transfer, and the requirements for inverters’ grid friendliness are getting increasingly higher.
Sungrow inverters are built with low-voltage ride-through, zero-voltage ride-through, and high-voltage ride-through capabilities, which
can cope with the voltage changes of power grid in the case of power grid problems, hence to ensure that PV systems will not be
disconnected from the grid on a large scale and result in the escalation of incident. Moreover, inverters are built-in with fast power
control modules to enable quick scheduling in less than 20 ms for active/reactive power response. The application of grid construction
technologies allows inverters to behave like synchronous generators, which can quickly suppress voltage and frequency fluctuations
in the power grid, and improve the stability of PV or PV-storage power stations, contributing to a higher new energy penetration rate.
The integrated DC energy storage interface eliminates the need for modification, and the inverter supports reverse charging and
connection of energy storage equipment. The power generation side is a multi-energy complementary platform that allows PV power
station peak regulation, smooth PV power station output, and grid stability; the power consumption side is an intelligent PV-storage
micro-grid platform, which enables peak-trough balance through energy storage, improves PV consumption, and achieves precise
24
Sungrow Power Supply Co., Ltd. 2023 Annual Report (Full Copy)
energy supply. As new energy application increases year by year, the SCR (short-circuit ratio) of power grid decreases, which can easily
cause frequent disconnection of inverters. Sungrow has developed the adaptive control algorithm to precisely perceive the strength of
power grid. The algorithm has passed the SCR=1.02 weak current grid certification, which positively promotes an ear of "grid
friendliness" and achieves the dual carbon target.
4. PV system safety
As the installed capacity of PV systems increase year by year, safety hazards in PV power stations become an increasingly large concern.
The Company takes the safety of power stations a priority at work and further improves the safety of system design.
Sungrow’s inverter systems are capable of detecting DC series and parallel arc pulling in real time. They have passed relevant protection
certifications, can quickly identify arc pulling based on the intelligent arc pulling detection algorithm, and cut off in milliseconds to
block the damage of arc pulling. Inverters are built with AC/DC insulation monitoring systems to cope with various application
environments, quickly locate insulation faults, enable self-protection in case of cable faults, avoid electric shock and fire risks, and
safeguard the power station round-the-clock. Thanks to the intelligent protection and control algorithms, integrated isolation switches,
and big data-based operations, inverters can precisely identify reverse connections, short circuits, and other faults, cut off in down to
10 ms, hence effectively avoiding fault escalation.
5. Unit production cost of the Company's PV inverters

Overview of this Cash Dividend

Detailed description of the profit distribution or the capital reserve conversion plan
As audited and confirmed by RSM China (Special General Partnership), the net profit realized by the parent company in 2023
was CNY 9,606,878,894.04, and the accrual for statutory reserves exceeded 50% of the total share capital, hence requiring no
further accrual. As of December 31, 2023, the distributable profit of the parent company was CNY 17,918,678,752.33, which was
composed of CNY 9,606,878,894.04 of remaining undistributed profit and CNY 8,637,115,163.99 of undistributed profit from
previous periods, deducted by a cash dividend of CNY 325,315,305.70 distributed in 2022.
According to CSRC’s guidelines on encouraging listed companies to distribute cash dividends and providing investors with stable
and reasonable returns, as well as relevant provisions in the Company Law and the Articles of Association, while considering the
Company's financial status, share capital, profitability, and future business growth and for the purposes of improving returns for
shareholders, sharing operating results with shareholders, and enhancing stock liquidity, the Company plans to appropriately
increase the cash dividend ratio for this year and transfer certain capital reserve to share capital. The plan for profit distribution
and share capital increase from capital reserve for 2023 is as follows:
Based on a share capital of 1,468,642,351 shares (the existing total share capital of 1,485,190,984 shares minus 16,508,633 shares
that have been bought back in the special account for buyback), the Company plans to distribute a cash dividend of CNY 9.65
(tax inclusive) for every 10 shares to all shareholders, with the total cash dividend amounting to CNY 1,417,239,868.72 (tax
inclusive). The remaining undistributed profit will carry forward next year. In addition, 4 shares from the capital reserve will be
transferred for every 10 shares to all shareholders. After the increase, the total share capital goes up to 2,072,607,924 shares. No
bonus shares will be issued this year. In the event that the total share capital and the number of buyback shares change in the
period from the date of disclosure of this plan and the date of record for equity distribution, the total amount of cash dividend will
be adjusted following the principle of “fixed ratio for cash dividend distribution” based on a share capital of total shares on the
date of record minus shares that have been bought back in the special account for buyback, and the total amount of share capital
increase will be adjusted following the principle of "fixed ratio for transferring capital reserve to share capital".
The Company was profitable during the reporting period, the parent company made positive profits distributable to shareholders, but
no cash dividend distribution plan was proposed

Audit Report
I. Audit Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Sungrow Power Supply Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Sungrow), including the
Consolidated Balance Sheet and Balance Sheet of Parent Company as at December 31, 2023, the Consolidated Income Statement and
Income Statement of Parent Company in 2023, and the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and Statement of Cash Flows of Parent
Company, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity and Statement of Changes in Equity of Parent Company, as well as Notes to
the relevant financial statements.
In our opinion, the financial statements as attached were prepared in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business
Enterprises in all material aspects, which fairly reflect the consolidated financial position of Sungrow and the parent company as at
December 31, 2023, as well as the consolidated operating results and cash flows of Sungrow and the parent company in 2023.
II. Grounds for the Audit Opinion
The audit has been performed in accordance with the Auditing Standards for Certified Public Accountants of China. Our responsibilities
under these standards are further explained in the part CPA's Responsibilities for the Audit of Financial Statements in this audit report.
Abiding by the China Code of Ethics for Certified Public Accountants, we have operated independently from Sungrow, and fulfilled
other responsibilities in professional ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
ground for our audit opinion.
III. Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those we consider to be the most important to the audit of financial statements of the current period based on our
professional judgment. Such matters are addressed in the context that the financial statements are audited as a whole with the audit
opinion issued. We do not express separate opinions on these matters.
A. Recoverability of accounts receivable
1. Description of the matter
As stated in Notes “V. 11 Financial Instruments” and “VII. 4 Accounts Receivable”, the book value of accounts receivable in Sungrow’s
consolidated financial statements was CNY 21,098 million, of which bad debt provision was CNY 2,002 million. The Company
determined the bad debt provision according to the recoverability of accounts receivable. To determine the book value of the accounts
receivable at the end of the period, the Sungrow management team (hereinafter referred to as the Management) needs to identify the
items that have been impaired and the objective evidences, evaluate the cash flows that are expected in the future and determine their
present value, which involves the Management’s use of significant accounting estimates and judgments. Moreover, the recoverability
of accounts receivable is vital to the financial statements; therefore, we have identified the recoverability of accounts receivable as a
key audit matter.
2. Audit response
The procedures we performed mainly include the following:
(1) We evaluated and tested the rationality of design and operational effectiveness of Sungrow's credit policy and internal controls
related to accounts receivable management.
(2) We analyzed the rationality of accounting estimates for bad debt provision for Sungrow's accounts receivable, including the basis
for determining the combination of accounts receivable and the judgment on separate bad debts provision.
(3) On perusal of the actual amount of bad debts of similar receivables and the situations in the past, as well as customer credit, market
condition and other factors, we evaluated the appropriateness of approaches used by the Management which divided receivables into
113
Sungrow Power Supply Co., Ltd. 2023 Annual Report (Full Copy)
several groups for impairment assessment. For receivables that had been accrued for bad debt provision individually, we verified the
foundations used by the Management to evaluate the expected cash flow; for receivables that had been accrued for bad debt provision
according to the characteristics of credit risk combination, we used expected credit loss rate and aging analysis to test the rationality
and accuracy of the Management's provision for bad debts.
(4) We evaluated the recoverability of accounts receivable in large amount, with special attention paid to those with an aging of more
than one year and those covered in lawsuits filed by Sungrow (for selected samples). Through the investigation of customer background,
operating status, litigation situation and the like, we interviewed with lawyers and sales personnel, inspected the letters of confirmation
and collections after the period, in order to evaluate the rationality and adequacy of the Management’s bad debts provision.
B. Revenue recognition
1. Description of the matter
As stated in Notes “V. 27 Principles and Measurements for Revenue Recognition” and “VII. 47 Operating Income and Operating
Costs”, Sungrow recognized an operating income of CNY 72,251 million. Since operating income is one of the Company's key metrics,
there might be an inherent risk that the Management manipulate revenue recognition in order to achieve specific goals or expectations;
therefore, we have identified revenue recognition as a key audit matter.
2. Audit response
The procedures we used mainly include the following:
(1) We evaluated and tested the design and operational effectiveness of internal controls related to Sungrow's revenue from product
sales and power station construction.
(2) We verified revenue growth and changes in gross profit in an analytic way.
(3) For revenue from product sales, we inspected samples of sales contracts, sales invoices, logistics documents, customer receipts,
customs declarations and other relevant materials to evaluate the authenticity of revenue recognition; for sales revenue recognized
around the date of the balance sheet, we ran cut-off test and verified supporting documents such as customer receipts, thereby evaluating
the completeness of revenue recognition.
(4) For revenue from collective power station construction, we compared and analyzed the actual total cost of the completed project
samples and the total contract cost estimated by the Management before project completion to evaluate the Management's experience
and capacity in making the accounting estimation; we inspected contracts of major construction projects to verify the total contract
revenue, review key contract terms, and confirm the correctness of contract revenue. For major contracts involving power generation
commitments, we reviewed the basis for determining the power generation estimation and the accuracy of revenue recognition. For the
actual cost of major projects, we checked the supporting documents such as contracts, invoices, equipment receipts, progress
confirmation documents, and analyzed the gross profit rate of the project, thereby evaluating the authenticity and accuracy of the actual
cost accounting. We shortlisted several projects and visited the project sites to determine whether the site status matched the progress
recorded.
(5) For revenue from distributed residential power station construction, we checked the equity transfer agreements, sales contracts, and
grid-connected power generation situation of the power stations to evaluate the authenticity, accuracy, and completeness of revenue
recognition.
C. Inventory impairment
1. Description of the matter
As stated in Notes “V. 13 Inventories” and “VII. 9 Inventories”, as of December 31, 2023, the book balance of inventories in Sungrow’s
consolidated financial statements is CNY 23,130 million, the inventory depreciation provision is CNY 1,689 million, and the book
value of inventories is CNY 21,442 million. Because the inventory amount is huge and the determination of the net realizable value of
inventories involves significant management judgment, we have identified inventories as a key audit matter.
2. Audit response
The procedures we used mainly include the following:
(1) We evaluated and tested the rationality of design and operational effectiveness of Sungrow's internal controls related to inventory
management.
114
Sungrow Power Supply Co., Ltd. 2023 Annual Report (Full Copy)
(2) We supervised inventory counting in the field, and inspected the quantity and status of inventories, with special attention paid to
the ending inventory status and the identification of obsolete stocks. For inventories at customers’ premises, we ran external
confirmations to verify the quantity.
(3) We obtained the Management’s spreadsheet for calculating inventory depreciation provision, ran the inventory impairment test and
confirmation procedure, checked and analyzed the rationality of the net realizable value, and evaluated the accuracy of the inventory
depreciation reserve and resale.
(4) We conducted peer analysis of Sungrow’s inventory turnover rate and ratio of inventory depreciation provision, to analyze whether
the Company's inventory depreciation significantly deviates from the average level of the peer industry.
(5) We evaluated the appropriateness of the Management's disclosure of inventories and notes in the financial statements.
IV. Other information
The Management is responsible for other information. Other information includes those covered in Sungrow's 2023 annual report, but
does not include the financial statements and our audit report.
The audit opinion on financial statements does not cover other information, nor do we make assurance conclusions on other information
in any form.
As it relates to the audit of financial statements, our responsibility is to read other information and identify whether there are material
inconsistence or errors between other information and the financial statements or the situation we learned during the audit.
Based on what we have done, if we are certain that material errors exist in other information, we should report. In this case, there is
nothing to be reported.
V. Management’s and Governance’s Responsibilities for the Financial Statements
The Management is responsible for preparing and presenting these financial statements fairly in accordance with the Accounting
Standards for Business Enterprises, and for designing, implementing, and maintaining necessary internal controls so that the financial
statements are free from material misstatements due to fraud or error.
When preparing the financial statements, the Management is responsible for evaluating Sungrow’s ability to continue as a going
concern, disclosing matters related to going concerns (if applicable), and applying going concern assumptions, unless the Management
is arranging liquidation, termination, or options of no other realistic alternatives for Sungrow.
Sungrow's governance team is responsible for overseeing Sungrow's financial reporting process.
VI. CPA's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objective is to obtain reasonable assurance on that the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement due to
fraud or error, and to issue an auditor report containing our audit opinion. A reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, however,
there is no assurance that an audit performed in accordance with Auditing Standards can always identify a material misstatement in
existence. Misstatements may result from fraud or error, and are generally considered material if, individually or in aggregate, the
misstatements could be reasonably expected to influence the economic decisions made by users of the financial statements based on
the content of the financial statements.
In the process of conducting the audit in accordance with Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain
professional skepticism. At the same time, we also perform the following:
1. Identify and evaluate the risk of material misstatement due to fraud or error, design and implement auditing procedures to address
the risk, and obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence as the grounds for our audit opinion. Since fraud may involve collusion,
forgery, intentional omission, misrepresentation or override of internal controls, the risk of failure to detect material misstatements due
to fraud is higher than the risk of failure to detect material misstatements due to error.
2. Understand the audit-related internal controls in order to design an appropriate auditing procedure, but our purpose is not to judge
the effectiveness of internal controls.
3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies selected by the Management and the rationality of accounting estimates and
related disclosures.
4. Conclude on the appropriateness of the going concern assumptions used by the Management. Based on the audit evidence obtained,
draw conclusions on whether there are significant uncertainties in matters or situations that are likely to impair Sungrow's ability to
115
Sungrow Power Supply Co., Ltd. 2023 Annual Report (Full Copy)
continue as a going concern. Should the conclusions considered significant uncertainties, we are required by the auditing standards to
remind users of the financial statements to the relevant disclosures in the financial statements; if the disclosures were insufficient, we
should not issue our opinion as non-qualified. Our conclusions are based on information available as of the date of the audit report.
However, matters or circumstances in the future may still cause Sungrow to cease to operate as a going concern.
5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, and evaluate whether the financial statements
fairly reflect the relevant transactions and matters.
6. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence on the financial information of Sungrow’s entities or business activities, so as to
issue an audit opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for directing, supervising and performing the group audit, and
are solely responsible for the audit opinion we make.
We communicate with the governance team on the planned scope, schedule and significant audit findings of the audit, including internal
control deficiencies of concern that we identified during our audit.
We have also provided the governance team with a statement of compliance with professional ethical requirements related to
independence, and communicated with them on all relationships and other matters that might be reasonably believed to affect our
independence, together with the corresponding countermeasures.
From the list of matters that we have communicated with the governance team, we identify those of the most significance to the audit
of financial statements of the current period as the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our audit report unless public
disclosure of such matters is prohibited by laws or regulations or; in rare circumstances where the adverse consequences of
communicating a matter in the audit report would be reasonably expected to outweigh the benefits in the public interest, we decide not
to communicate such a matter in the audit report.
