This risk increases the more that cornpliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instance5 of non-compliance. The risk 15 also greater regardine irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error. as fraud involves intentional Con￿alMent. forgery. collusion. omission Of misrepresentation.
