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 toissue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonableassurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guaranteethat an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will alwaysdetect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatementscan arise from fraud or error and are considered material if,individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably beexpected to influence the economic decisions of users taken onthe basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgment and maintain professional skepticismthroughout 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 to thoserisks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient andappropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The riskof not detecting a material misstatement resulting fromfraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraudmay involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant tothe audit in order to design audit procedures that areappropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)
(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing ouropinion on whether the company has adequate internalfinancial controls with reference to financial statements inplace and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies usedand the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by the Management and Boardof Directors.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Managementand Board of Directors use of the going concern basisof accounting in preparation of financial statements and,based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a materialuncertainty exists related to events or conditions thatmay cast significant doubt on the Company's ability tocontinue as a going concern. If we conclude that a materialuncertainty exists, we are required to draw attentionin our auditor's report to the related disclosures in thefinancial 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'sreport. However, future events or conditions may causethe Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and contentof the financial statements, including the disclosures, andwhether the financial statements represent the underlyingtransactions and events in a manner that achieves fairpresentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding,among other matters, the planned scope and timing of theaudit 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 statementthat we have complied with relevant ethical requirementsregarding independence, and to communicate with them allrelationships and other matters that may reasonably be thoughtto bear on our independence, and where applicable, relatedsafeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged withgovernance, we determine those matters that were of mostsignificance in the audit of the financial statements of the currentperiod and are therefore the key audit matters. We describethese matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulationprecludes public disclosure about the matter or when, inextremely rare circumstances, we determine that a mattershould not be communicated in our report because the adverseconsequences of doing so would reasonably be expected tooutweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
