Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financia1 statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement wnen it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, ndividually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence 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 professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive
1o these risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement 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 contro.
Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate n the circumstances. Under section U3(3)|i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

Conduce 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 conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, if we concluae that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors' report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern
Evaluate the overall presentation. structure ana content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the rmancial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation
We communicate with those charged witn governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant defic encies in internal control tha* we identify during our audit
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thougm to bear on our independence a^d where aop :cable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with Ihose charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of ,"e current period and are therefore the key audit matters, we descrioe these matters in
our auditors' report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we aetermine that a matter should not oe communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the pubic interest benefits of such communication.
