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 freefrom material misstatement, whether due tofraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes ouropinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted inaccordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise fromfraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected toinfluence the economic 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 professionalskepticism throughout the audit. We are 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 materialmisstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion,forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls relevant to the audit in order to design auditprocedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are alsoresponsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has an adequate internal financial controlssystem in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimatesand related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and,based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditionsthat may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude thata material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the relateddisclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Ourconclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s However, future eventsor conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including thedisclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in amanner that achieves fair presentation.
• Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that, individually or in aggregate,makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financialstatements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planningthe scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of anyidentified misstatements in the financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope andtiming of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that weidentify during 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 thatmay reasonably 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 ofmost significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key auditmatters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosureabout the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not becommunicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected tooutweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
