An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The
procedures selected depend on the auditor''s judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk
assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the

circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the entity''s internal control. An audit also includes
evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
