In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control. This letter communicates deficiencies in internal control identified during the audit, as required by SA 265 (Communicating Deficiencies in Internal Control to Those Charged with Governance and Management). It does not modify our report on the financial statements, and the matters below are limited to deficiencies that came to our attention during normal audit procedures.
