REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDrroRS TO THE MEMBERS OF SAMPAD (SOUTH ASIAN ARTS DEVELOPMENT) Owing to the inherent limitation of the audit , there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements, èven though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance wilh laws and regulation is from the events and transaction reflected in the financial statement, the less likely in the inherently limited procedure required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition. as with any audit. ther8 remained a higher risk of non-delection of fraud, as these may involve collusion, forgery. intentional omissions, misrepresenlations, or the override of internal controls. Our audit procedures are designed to detect material missiatement. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance or fraud and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statemenls is located on the Financial Reporting Council's websile al www.frc.org.ukJauditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.
