Independent Auditor's Report to tbe Trusteu of The John50ll Clergy Associ￿•￿ (Biminehm) CIO whil￿ Considering how our audit WO￿ athjresS￿ the ddection of irregulaTitie& we also considered the likelihood of deteciion b&sed on our 4)pn)ach. Irregularities arising frthn fraud are inherently more difficult to ddect than those arising from error. Because of the inherent limitaiions of an audti thtte is a risk we will detea all irregularities. including those leading to a maierial misstsiement in the financhil smements or niJnwC47mpliance with regul￿10n. This risk increase5 the More that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the ¢veDts and tr•nsa¢¢ions reflecied in ihe firtan¢ial stst¢m¢nt& as we will be less likely to be¢ome 4w4re of instances of non-¢ompliAnc¢. Th¢ risk is also gr¢ai¢r reg4rding irregularities oc¢urring due to fraud rather thon error. as froud involves intentional concealmenL forgery. collusion. omission or misrepresentsiion.
