Reasonable a55uranr¢ is a high level of assurdnce. but is not a guuant¢c that an audit conducted in a¢¢ordance with ISA$ (UK} will always detect a materi31 misstatement when it exists.

There are inherent limiiaiions in the audit procedufts d¢%ribed 8bove. We are less likely to become aware of inslattces of non-compliance with laws and regulations that are not closely related to evenis and transactions refleeted in the financial stsiements. Also, the risk of noL d¢tr¢ting a material misseMent due to fraud is higher than the risk of TK)t detecting oiie resulting frotn crror, as fraud may ini'olve deliberate conc¢a]ment by* for exampl¢. forgery or intentional ]ni5repre5entations. or through ¢ollusion.
