Our Responsibility Under U.S. Generally Accepted Auditing Standards and Government Auditing Standards

To express our opinion on whether the financial statements prepared by management with your

  • versight are fairly presented, in all material

respects, and in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, our audit does not relieve you or management of your responsibilities. To consider internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on its effectiveness or to provide assurance concerning such internal control. To perform an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards issued by the AICPA and Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, and design the audit to obtain reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. To communicate findings that, in our judgment, are relevant to your responsibilities in overseeing the financial reporting process. However, we are not required to design procedures for the purpose of identifying other matters to communicate to you.
