Reasonable assurance is a high level of 2ssurance, but 15 not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS {VK) will always detect a material misstatement when ic exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Evaluacing management'5 contro15 designed to prevent and detect irregularities: Identifying and ¢e5ting journa15', and Challenging assumption5 and judgements made by management in their critical accounting estimates. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is 2 ris1< that we will not detect all irregularitie5, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial Statements or non-compliance with regulation. Thi5 risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements. as we will be less likely to become aware of instance5 of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurrlng due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
