In preparing the Financial Statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue asa going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis ofaccounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realisticalternative but to do so.
The Company's Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Statements as a whole are free frommaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion.Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordancewith (SAs) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or errorand are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence theeconomic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticismthroughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Financial Statements, whether due to fraud orerror, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that issufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatementresulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery,intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit proceduresthat are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible forexpressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls with reference toFinancial Statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates andrelated disclosures made by Management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, basedon the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that maycast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a materialuncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in theFinancial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are basedon the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions maycause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Financial Statements, including the disclosures,and whether the Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner thatachieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Financial Statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes itprobable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Financial Statements may beinfluenced.
We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors (i) in planning the scope of our audit work and inevaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the FinancialStatements
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timingof the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identifyduring our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethicalrequirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that mayreasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of mostsignificance in the audit of the Financial Statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. Wedescribe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matteror when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our reportbecause the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interestbenefits of such communication.
