Our objectNes are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free
from material misstslemenl. whether due to fraud or error. and to issue an Auditors. Report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, bul is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordan￿ with ISAS (UK) will aNvay5 delect a material misstaternent when it exisls. Misstatements can arise
frorn fraud or error and are considered material rf, individually or in the aggregate. they could reasonably be
expected lo influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregulariknès. induding fraud. are InstsnLW of non-compliance with laws and rewlations. We tjesign procedures
in line with our responsibilities. outlined above. to detecl material misstatements in respect of irregularities,
including fraud. The extent to whith our pr(￿￿ureS are capat4e of detecting irregularibes. including fraud is

assessment of the risk Df irregularities.
for any matters identified we have obtained and wewed docjjmentstion of the Companies, policies and
procedures relating to..
identtyng. evaluating. and cOm￿￿ng with laws and regulations whether they were aware of any

the intemal controls established to mikngate the risks of fraud or non-compliance with laws and
regulations.
wg have wnsidered the rnatters disoJssed among the audit engagement team including the internal tsx
speeialists regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial stalernents and potential indicators of
fraud.
As a result of these procedures. we considered the opportunrf(ies and incentwes that may exist within the
organisation for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud in the following areas..
revenue recognition cut off
In ¢ommon with all audits under ISAS {UKI. we are also required to perform specific procedures lo respond to
the risk of management override.
We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks thal the Company operates in,
focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determinats'on of material
amounts and disclosures in the finanaal statements. The key law5 and regulations we considered in this context
included the UK Companies Act and tax legislation.
In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regUlati￿S that do not have a direct effect on the
financial statements but Complian￿ with which may be fundamental lo the Companies, ability to operate or to
avoid a material penalty. These induded data protectk)n regulations. h8allh and safety regulations and
