detailed analysis of each contract/customer purchaseorder regarding timing of revenue recognition.
• Verification of selected samples of customer contracts/Purchase Orders to confirm the terms of delivery.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Auditof the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance aboutwhether 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 isnot a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordancewith SAs will always detect a material misstatement whenit exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error andare considered material if, individually or in the aggregate,they could reasonably be expected to influence theeconomic decisions of users taken on the basis of thesefinancial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgement and maintain professionalscepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement ofthe financial statements, whether due to fraud or error,design and perform audit procedures responsive tothose risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficientand appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Therisk of not detecting a material misstatement resultingfrom fraud is higher than for one resulting from error,as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentionalomissions, misrepresentations, or the override ofinternal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial controlrelevant to the audit in order to design audit proceduresthat are appropriate in the circumstances. UnderSection 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible forexpressing our opinion on whether the Company hasadequate internal financial controls with referenceto financial statements in place and the operatingeffectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policiesused and the reasonableness of accounting estimatesand related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the management’suse of the going concern basis of accounting and,based on the audit evidence obtained, whethera material uncertainty exists related to events orconditions that may cast significant doubt on theCompany’s ability to continue as a going concern. Ifwe conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we arerequired to draw attention in our auditor’s report to therelated disclosures in the financial statements or, if suchdisclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Ourconclusions are based on the audit evidence obtainedup to the date of our auditor’s report. However, futureevents or conditions may cause the Company to ceaseto continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and contentof the financial statements, including the disclosures,and whether the financial statements represent theunderlying transactions and events in a manner thatachieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governanceregarding, among other matters, the planned scope andtiming of the audit and significant audit findings, includingany significant deficiencies in internal control that weidentify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance witha statement that we have complied with relevantethical requirements regarding independence, andto communicate with them all relationships and othermatters that may reasonably be thought to bear on ourindependence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged withgovernance, we determine those matters that were ofmost significance in the audit of the financial statementsof the current period and are therefore the key auditmatters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s reportunless law or regulation precludes public disclosure aboutthe matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, wedetermine that a matter should not be communicated inour report because the adverse consequences of doingso would reasonably be expected to outweigh the publicinterest benefits of such communication.
