detecting irreoularilies, including fr8ud is delAiled below..
Enquiry of ma￿￿ernent and those chawJed with govemance around actual and polenlial litigation and

Indicalors of potentLql bias.
Because of the inherent limiialions of an audit, there is a risk that we will not deled all irregu18rtties, including
those leading lo a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This
risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is ￿MOVed from the events and transactions
reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance.
The risk B also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves
intentional concealmen(, forgery, collusi)n, omissN)n or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Finan￿al ReportiTrJ Councll's website 81..
