assessment, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the
Company’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements
in order to design the audit procedures that are appropriate in the

accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting
estimates made by the management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements.
