Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financialstatements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error,and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Responsible assurance is a highlevel of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SA’s willalways detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud orerror and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonablybe expected to influence the economic decision of users taken on the basis of these standalonefinancial statements.
As a part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintainprofessional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identity and assess the risks of the material misstatement of the standalone financialstatements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsiveto those risk and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis forour opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higherthan for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentionalomissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal control.

If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are requiredto draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements,or if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on theaudit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events orconditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, includingthe disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactionsand events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
• Materially is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone financial statements that,individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonablyknowledgeable user of the standalone financial statements may be influenced.

• We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have compliedwith relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with themall relationship and other matters that may reasonably be thought to be bear on ourindependence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
• From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine thosematters that were of most significance in the audit of financial statements of the currentperiod and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor'sreport unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, inextremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated inour report because the adverse consequence of doing so would reasonably be expected tooutweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
