The audit has been planned and perfornied in such a way as to best identify risks of materia] misstatement, however the inherent limitation5 of audit procedures means that there remains a risk that we will not detect all irregularities. including those leading to a jnalerial misstatement in the fiT)ancial slatements or non-COTnplTance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the evet]ts and transactions reflected in the rinancial statements, as we will be less likely lo become aware of instances of non-complia￿ce. The risk is also greater regarding Irregul￿ltieS oCCu￿1ng due to fraud rather than e￿or. as fraud involves intentional concealment. override of ontrols. forgery, collusion, onussion or misrepresentation.
