The extent to which our procedure5 are Ca￿ble of deiecring irr¢gularities. including fraud is detailed below.. As part of designing our audit. we determined maieriality and assessed the risks of material mis5tstement in the fsnancial statements, including how fraud may occur by enquiring of wnanagement of lis own consideration of fraud. In particular, we looked where management made subjeciive judoements, for exaTnple in respeci of Significant accounting e5titnaies thai involved making assumptions and considering fvrnre events thai are inherenily uncertain. We also considered potential financial or other pre5suies. Op￿rtUnIty and motivations ftsr fraud. As part of this discussion we identified the internal ¢ontrols established to rnitigaie risks related to fraud or noncompliance with laws and regulations and how management moniior these proce55es. Appropriate pro¢edures included the review and testing of jOUTnals and key estimates and judgements made by ￿anagelnertt.
