Because ol Ihe inherent limitstions of an audit. there is a r￿k that we will not detect all irregularities, including
Ihose leading to a material misstaternenl in the financial ststements or non-compliance with fe9ulation. Thi5 risk
increases the more that C4)MplIan￿ with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected
