Our 0eCtiveS are lo obtaln reasonable assurance about whether the finan¢ial slalement$ a$ a whole are free from matefial misstslemenl, whether due to fraud or error, 8ntJ to issue an Auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assursnee is a high level of assurance, bul is not a guarantee that an audit conduded in accordan with ISAS (UK) wll always detect a material mi35tatement when il exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggrègate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the ecorMiC decisions of users taken on thg basis of these finanaal statements. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not delect all irregularilles, including those leading lo a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulatron. This risk increases the more that complianc8 Wth a law or regulation is removed from the events and transacbons ieflected in the financrdl slalements. as we wlll be less likely to bectxne aware of instances of non- com lanCe. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional GOnalment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. The specific procedures f¢ this engagement that we deslgned and performed to detect material misslatemenls in respgct of irregularities. including fraud. were as follows.. Enquiry of management and th0 charged wth governance around actual and potential litigation 8nd claims., Enquiry of management and those charged wth governance to idenlrfy any materlal Instances of non- compliance wth laws and regulations-, Reviewing financial slalemenl disclosures and testing to supportsng documentation to assess compliance wlh applicable laws and regulations., Performing audit work to addross the risk of IegularItIeS due to management override of controls, iludIng lesling of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and revlewlng accounting estimates for evidence of bias.
