audit wlll not detect that breach.
Context of ablllty of the auditto detectfraud or breathèd of law or regul*ion
Owing to the inherent limltst1oT￿ of an audtt, there is an unavoidable risk thatwe may not have detetted some materlal miststements in
the flnancial statements. even though we have properly planned and performed our autht in attordance wlth auditing standards. For
example. the further reThoved non<ompliance with law5 and regulations 15 from the events and transattlons reflerted in the flnanclal
statements, the le$5 Ilkew inherently limited prO￿dureS required by audttlng standaid5 would identify It.
In 3ddition, as wlth any audit, there remalned a higher risk of non4etettion of fraud. as these may involve collusiDn, forgery, intentional
omlssions. mispre5entatlons, or the overide of internal controls. Our autht Procedures are des5gned to detect materlal mistatement. We
are not responsible for preventing non compllance orfraud cannot be expected to detect rK)n•compliance wlth all laws and regulation.
As part of an audlt In accordance wlth ISAS IUKI. we exerdse wofessional judgment and malntsin wofes5ional scepticism throughout the
audlt. We also:
Identlfy and assess the ri5k5 of material mtsstatement of the finandal statements, whether due to fraud or error. design and perform
audit proce¢JJres responslve to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and approprlate to provide a basis for our opinion.
The risk of nat detecting a material mlsststement resultlng from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error. as fraud may involve
colluslon, forgery. Intentional omissions, misrepiesentstions. or the overrKle of intemal control.
Obtain an under5tandin8 of Internal control relevant to the audit in order to des18n audil prO￿dureS that are appropriate in the
clrcumstsnces. but not for the purpose of expre￿￿ an ￿nIOn on the effect￿ness of the charitablo companrfs Internal control.
