Partnerships are exempt from any requirement to prepare audited accounts, but they are legally bound to keep proper books of account which must be available for scrutiny by individual partners.

COUNTRY DEVELOPMENTS:

On, 04th of November 2011 published that: Moody's Investors Service has today downgraded Cyprus's government bond ratings to Baa3 from Baa1 and placed the ratings on review for further possible downgrade. The rating agency has also downgraded Cyprus's short-term rating to Prime-3 from Prime-2 and placed it on review for further possible downgrade.
The key drivers for today's rating announcement are: 1. The high likelihood that the Cypriot banking system will require state support in 2012 as a result of the large expected write-downs on its exposures to Greek government bonds... 2. The Cypriot government's loss of international market access and the resulting likelihood that the government will need to seek emergency funding from official sources. 3. Cyprus's weaker-than-expected institutional capacity to approve and implement the budgetary and structural changes that are needed to correct the government's rising debt trajectory and improve the longer-term sustainability of its public finances.

On 10th of August 2011 Cyprus mail published that: Fitch cut Cyprus’ credit rating by two notches to BBB on Wednesday due to fiscal slippages, saying the island state was likely to require a bailout to meet its funding needs.

"The two-notch downgrade of ratings to 'BBB' reflects the actual and anticipated fiscal slippage, compounded by Fitch's expectation that the sovereign will be unable to access the international debt markets in order to refinance an increasing debt maturity profile in H211 and H112," Fitch said in a statement.

The other two main rating agencies, Standard and Poor’s and Moody’s, both cut the island's rating at the end of July. Moody's rates Cyprus Baa1, Standard and Poor's BBB-plus.

On 19th of August 2011 Financial Mirror News published that: The industrial turnover index for reached 129.8 in May (base 2005=100) according to the Statistical Service, recording an increase of 3.8% compared with May 2010. Industrial production in the same period rose by 1.1%. For the period January-May 2011, the turnover index recorded an increase of 1.9% over the same period of the previous year. For manufacturing alone, the turnover index for May 2011 reached 121.0, recording an increase of 1,5% compared with May 2010.

The price index of construction materials reached 126.11 units (base year 2005=100,00) in July according to the Statistical Service Cystat, recording a marginal increase of 0.02% over the previous month. In the period January - July 2011, the index recorded an increase of 4.13% compared to the same period last year. The biggest increase so far has been in electromechanical products, price of which rose compared with the year earlier by 8.1% in the first seven months of the year. Metallic products rose by 6.9% and minerals rose by 4.3% in the same period. A milder increase of 2.9% was recorded for mineral products, while a decline of 0.4% was recorded for wood, insulation materials, chemicals and plastics. (End of Country Developments).
