Forexample, thefurther removed non-compliancewith laws and regulations{irregularities) isfrom theevents and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing stèndards would identify it. In addition. as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities. as these may involve collusion. forgery. intentional omissions. misrepresentations. or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non- compliance with all laws and regulations.
