The objectives of the auditor are: 

1. To obtain written representations from management and, where appropriate, those charged with governance that they believe that they have fulfilled their responsibility for the preparation of the financial report and for the completeness of the information provided to the auditor;  
2. To support other audit evidence relevant to the financial report or specific assertions in the financial report by means of written representations if determined necessary by the auditor or required by other Australian Auditing Standards; and 
3. To respond appropriately to written representations provided by management and, where appropriate, those charged with governance, or if management or, where appropriate, those charged with governance do not provide the written representations requested by the auditor.
