We have determined that the cash and cash equivalents and related income on the instuments classified es cash and cash equivalent as key audit matters as it consitutes 7/.3% of total assets of the fund. As mutual funds usually old less cash and cash equivalent, the classification of the asset was key matters determined during the audit. ‘Ouraudit approach regarding the verification of classification of the asset included obtaining external confirmation and classifying the instruments as per NAS 07- ‘Cash Flow Statements’.
