AUDIT SERVICES

We conduct the audits in accordance with Egyptian Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we are independent and that we fulfill our other ethical responsibilities that are relevant to our audit.

The objectives of our audit are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatements (whether due to fraud or error). Additionally, the aim is to express an opinion on whether the financial statements give a true and fair view of or present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the Company, in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Standards.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but it is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if- individually or combined - they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions taken by the users based on these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error; design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks; and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

There are inherent limitations in the audit process, including, for example, the use of judgment and selective testing of data, and the possibility that collusion or forgery may preclude the detection of material error, fraud, or non-compliance with laws or regulations. Accordingly, there is some risk that a material misstatement of the financial statements may remain undetected. In addition, an audit is not designed to detect fraud or error that is immaterial to the financial statements.
