This includes consideration of the risk of acts by the entity ihai were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud, In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance wlth laws and regulation5, including fraud, we de5i¥ned procedure5 which included= Enquiry of management and those charged with Bovernance around actual and potential litlgation and claim5 a5 well as actual. suspected and alleged fraud..

Because of the Inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detert all irregularities. including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial slalements or non-compllance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance wrth a law or regulation 15 removed from the events and transartions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be le55 likèly to become aware of instances of non- compliance. The risk of not detecting a material misstatemenl resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, a5 fraud may involve collusion, fDrgery, intentional omis5ion5, misrepre5entatK)ns. or the override of internal control. li
