Our objectives 8r8 to obtain reasonable assurance about whether th9 financlal statements as a whole are fre8 from material misststement, whether due to fr8ud Dr error, and to issue an auditor's r@port that includ8s our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high lev81 of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in th8 aggregate. they could reasonably be expected to infiuence the economic decisions Df users taken on th8 basls of these financial statem&nl8.

Testing over period end adjustments. There are inherent limitations In th9 audit procedures described abov@. We are less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations that are not dosety related to events and transaclions refl&cted in the financial staternents. Also. the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the rislc of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion. Our audit testlng might include testing complete populations of certain transactions and balances, possibly uslng data audttlng techniques. However. it typically involves selecting a limited number of items for testing, rather than testing complete populations. We will often seek lo target particular items for testing based on their size or risk characteristics. In other cases, we will use audit sampling lo 8nable us to draw a conclusion about the population from which the sample is selected.
