Context of ablllty of the audlt to detect fraud or breached of law or regulatlon Owlng to the Inherent Ilmltatlons of an audlt, there Is an unavoldable rlsk that we may not have detected some material mlststements In the flnanclal ststements, even thaugh we have properly planned and performed our avdlt In accordance wlth audlting standards. For example, the further removed non<ompllan¢e wlth laws and regulatlons Is from the events and transactions reflerted In the financlal statements, the less Ilkely Inherently Ilrnlted procedures requlred by audltin8 Standards would Identlfy It. In addltion , as wlth any audit, there remalned a hl8her rlsk of non-detectlon of fraud, as these may Involve colluslon, for8ery, IntentlDnal OMIlOn5, m15presentations, or the overlde of Internal controls.

The rlsk of not detectln8 a materlal misstatement resultlng from fraud Is hlgher than for one re5ultln8 from error, as fraud may Involve colluslon, forgery, Intentlonal omlsslons, m15representatlon5, or the overrlde of Internal control.
