opinion. Reasonable Bssuiance is a hlgh level of assurantè, but is Trot a guarèntee that an audst conducted In
accordance with ISAS IUKI wlll always detect a material mlsstatement when It exlsts. Misstatements can arsse from
fraud (K error and are consldEred material Sf, indlvldually or in the aggreEate. they could reasoTrabty be expected to
Influen￿ the economlc det151ons of users taken Dn the basis of these Ilnanclal statements.
The Èxtent to which our pracedures are capable of detectlns trre8ularitie5, including fraud Is detalled below..
Audlt protedure5 undertaken In response to the potentlal risks relatlng to irregularities (which include fraud and

No instances ol materlèl nDn-compliancè were identified. However, the likelihorml of detecting irreBulèrltiÈs
Includlng fraud. is limlted by the inherent dlff(tulty In detecting irrÈKularitie5. the effectiveness of the entlty's
contiols, and the nature, tlming and extent of the audlt procedures performed. ITregularl*les that result from fraud
mlght be inherently more dilllcult to detect than irregulairites that result from error. As Explalned above. there Is
