Durlng the planning rneeting with the audit tezrn, the enEogetnent partner drew attention to the key areas whSch might involve n-CotP1Iènte with laws and regulations or fraud. We enquired of management whether they were aware of any instan$ of non-compliance with laws and regulotion5 or knowledge of any actual, 5U5pected or alle8ed fraud. We addressed the risk of fraud through managernent override of contro15 by tÈsting the appropriatene55 of journal entries and identifying any slgn1ficant transactions that were unusual or outside the norr1 course of business. We asse55ed whether judgements made in making accounting estTmates gave rise to a possible indication of managerneDt bias. At the completion Stage of the audit. the en8a8ement P3rtner'5 review included ensuring that the tÈam had approathed their work with appropriate professional 5cepti¢ism and thus the capacity to identify non-compliance with law5 dnd re8ulations and fraud.
