Ihat includes our opinion, Reasonable assurance is a high level of a55urance, but is not a guaranlee thai an

Misstalemenls can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in Ihe aggregate,
Ihey could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on Ihe basis of these

The extent to which our proredures are capable of det¢cting irregularitie5, including fTaud is delail¢d below:
Irre8ularilies, in¢luding fraud. are ins(ance5 of non-compliance with laws and rcgulations. We design
procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlincd above, lo delect material mis5tatemenls in respect of

and molivation5 for fraud. As part of this discussion, w¢ idenlifi¢d Ihe inlernal controls establish¢d lo

Based on our understandin8 of the Company and industry, we identified the principal risks of
non-compliance wilh laws and regulations as those that have a direct impact on the dctcrminalion of material
amounts and disclosures in the financial sialements.
We evalualed management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial
statements and identified the greaiest potential for fraud. We communicated the bdentified laws and
regulaiions throughout the audit team and remained alert io any indications of non-compliance Ihroughoul
