The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.Auditor’s Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a wholeare free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s reportthat includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guaranteethat an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when itexists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or inthe aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken onthe basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintainprofessional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether dueto fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtainaudit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk ofnot detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting fromerror, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or theoverride of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls relevant to the audit in order to designaudit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act,
we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequateinternal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accountingestimates and related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accountingand, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related toevents or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as agoing concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to drawattention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if suchdisclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the auditevidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditionsmay 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.
• We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, theplanned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significantdeficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevantethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships andother matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable,related safeguards.
