Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financialstatements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due tofraud 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 thatan audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a materialmisstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error andare considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonablybe expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis ofthese financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgmentand maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We are also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financialstatements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform auditprocedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that issufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk ofnot detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher thanfor one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery,intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internalcontrols.

Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsiblefor expressing our opinion on whether the Company has an adequateinternal financial controls system in place and the operating effectivenessof such controls.

If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are requiredto draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in thefinancial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify ouropinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up tothe date of our auditor’s However, future events or conditions may causethe Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financialstatements, including the disclosures, and whether the financialstatements represent the underlying transactions and events in a mannerthat achieves fair presentation.
• Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statementsthat, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economicdecisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statementsmay be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitativefactors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating theresults of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identifiedmisstatements in the financial statements.
