Misslalemenls can arise from fraud or error and are considered material If. individually or in the aggregate. they coukj reasonably be expected lo influence the economK decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Irregularities, including fraud. are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities. outlined above. lo detect material misststemenis in respect of irregularits'es, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detsiled below.. Obtaining an understanding of Ihe legal and regulatory framework$ that the entity operates in, focusing on those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the financial slalemenls." Enquiry ol management lo identify any instsnces of known or suspected instances of fraud,. Enquiry of management and those eharged with governanc£ around actual and potential liligob'on and claims., Enquiry of management and those charged wth governan al)out any instan$ of non<ompliance with laws and regulations". Reviewing the control systems in place and testing the effectiveness of the controls.. Performing audrt work over the risk of management override of contro15, Including testing of joumal entries and other adjuslmenls for appropriateness".

Reviewing finanal statement disclosures and testing to Supporting documentation to assess compliance wlh applicable laws and regulations. Because ol the inherent limitations of an audil. there is a risk Ihat we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading lo a material misstatement in the financial statements or non<ompliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that cornpliance wlh a law or regulation Is removed from the events and Iransaclion5 reflected In the financial slalemenls, as we wll be less Iikety lo t*come aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities Curring due lo fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment. forgery. collusion. omission or misrepresentation.
