1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions Inc. (“AITX” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Florida on March 25, 2010 and reincorporated in Nevada on February 17, 2015. On August 24, 2018, Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions Inc., changed its name from On the Move Systems Corp (“OMVS”).
Robotic Assistance Devices, LLC (“RAD”), was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 26, 2016 as a Limited Liability Company. On July 25, 2017, Robotic Assistance Devices LLC converted to a C Corporation, Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc., through the issuance of common shares to its sole shareholder.
On August 28, 2017, AITX completed the acquisition of RAD (the “Acquisition”), whereby AITX acquired all the ownership and equity interest in RAD for shares of AITX Series E Preferred Stock and shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock. AITX’s prior business focus was transportation services, and was exploring the on-demand logistics market by developing a network of logistics partnerships. As a result of the closing of the Acquisition, AITX has succeeded to the business of RAD, and AITX’s business going forward will consist of one segment activity, which is the delivery of artificial intelligence and robotic solutions for operational, security and monitoring needs.
The Acquisition was treated as a reverse recapitalization effected by a share exchange for financial accounting and reporting purposes since substantially all of AITX’s operations were disposed of as part of the consummation of the transaction. Therefore, no goodwill or other intangible assets were recorded by AITX as a result of the Acquisition. RAD is treated as the accounting acquirer as its stockholders control the Company after the Acquisition, even though AITX was the legal acquirer. As a result, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in these financial statements are those of RAD as if RAD had always been the reporting company.
2. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
For the six months ended August 31, 2023, the Company
had negative cash flow from operating activities of $
The Company does not have the resources at this time to repay its credit and debt obligations, make any payments in the form of dividends to its shareholders or fully implement its business plan. Without additional capital, the Company will not be able to remain in business.
Management has plans to address the Company’s financial situation as follows:
Management is committed to raise either non-dilutive
funds or minimally dilutive funds. There is no assurance that these funds will be able to be raised nor can we provide assurance that
these possible raises may not have dilutive effects. In March 2023, the Company entered into an equity financing agreement whereby an
investor will purchase up to $
Management is committed to raise either non-dilutive

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and in conformity with the condensing instructions on Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X and the related rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s latest Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K as filed on June 14, 2023. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc., Robotic Assistance Devices Group , Inc, Robotic Assistance Devices Mobile, Inc., On the Move Experience, LLC and On the OMV Transports, LLC. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of such statements. The results of operations for the six months ended August 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.
Use of Estimates
In order to prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, management must make estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and determine whether contingent assets and liabilities, if any, are disclosed in the financial statements. The ultimate resolution of issues requiring these estimates and assumptions could differ significantly from resolution currently anticipated by management and on which the financial statements are based. The most significant estimates included in these consolidated financial statements are those associated with the assumptions used to value preferred stock and derivative liabilities.
Concentrations
Loans payable
At August 31, 2023 there were $
Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit with banks and money market instruments. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high-quality, U.S. financial institutions and, to date has not experienced losses on any of its balances.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are comprised of balances due
from customers, net of estimated allowances for uncollectible accounts. In determining collectability, historical trends are evaluated,
and specific customer issues are reviewed on a periodic basis to arrive at appropriate allowances. There was an allowance of $ and
$ provided as of August 31, 2023 and February 28, 2023, respectively. For the three months ended August 31, 2023 , two customers

Device Parts Inventory
Device parts inventory is stated at the lower of cost
or net realizable value using the weighted average cost method. The Company records a valuation reserve for obsolete and slow-moving inventory,
relying principally on specific identification of such inventory. The Company uses these device parts in the assembly of revenue earning
devices (and demo devices) as well as research and development. Depending on use, the Company will transfer the parts to the corresponding
asset or expense if used in research and development. A charge to income is taken when factors that would result in a need for an
increase in the valuation, such as excess or obsolete inventory, are noted. As of August 31, 2023 and February 28, 2023 there was a valuation
reserve of $

(UNAUDITED)
Revenue Earning Devices
Revenue earning devices are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of months. The Company continually evaluates revenue earning devices to determine whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that may warrant revision of the estimated useful life or whether the devices should be evaluated for possible impairment. The Company uses a combination of the undiscounted cash flows and market approaches in assessing whether an asset has been impaired. The Company measures impairment losses based upon the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value.
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the respective assets which range from to years. Major repairs or improvements are capitalized. Minor replacements and maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend asset lives are expensed currently.
Fixed assets consisted of the following:
| Computer equipment and software | or years | |
| Office equipment | ||
| Manufacturing equipment | ||
| Warehouse equipment | ||
| Tooling | ||
| Demo Devices | ||
| Vehicles | ||
| Leasehold improvements | years, the life of the lease |
The Company periodically evaluates the fair value of fixed assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Upon retirement or other disposition of fixed assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognized in income.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed in the
period they are incurred in accordance with ASC 730, Research and Development unless they meet specific criteria related to technical,
market and financial feasibility, as determined by Management, including but not limited to the establishment of a clearly defined future
market for the product, and the availability of adequate resources to complete the project. If all criteria are met, the costs are deferred
and amortized over the expected useful life or written off if a product is abandoned. At August 31, 2023 and February 28, 2023, the Company
had
Contingencies
Occasionally, the Company may be involved in claims and legal proceedings arising from the ordinary course of its business. The Company records a provision for a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If these estimates and assumptions change or prove to be incorrect, it could have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Contingencies are inherently unpredictable, and the assessments of the value can involve a series of complex judgments about future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions.
Sales of Future Revenues
The Company has entered into transactions, as more fully described in footnote 8, in which it has received funding from investors in exchange for which it will make payments to those investors based on the level of sales of certain revenue categories, generally based on a percentage of sales for those certain revenues. The Company determines whether these agreements constitute sales of future revenues or are in substance debt based on the facts and circumstances of each agreement, with the following primary criteria determinative of whether the agreement constitutes a sale of future revenues or debt:
- 10 -
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
| ● | Does the agreement purport, in substance, to be a sale | |
| ● | Does the Company have continuing involvement in the generation of cash flows due the investor | |
| ● | Is the transaction cancellable by either party through payment of a lump sum or other transfer of assets | |
| ● | Is the investors rate of return is implicitly limited by the terms of the agreement | |
| ● | Does the Company’s revenue for a reporting period underlying the agreement have only a minimal impact on the investor’s rate of return | |
| ● | Does the investor have recourse relating to payments due |
In the event a transaction is determined to be a sale of future revenues, it is recorded as deferred revenue and amortized using the sum-of-the-revenue method. In the event a transaction is determined to be debt, it is recorded as debt and amortized using the effective interest method. As of the date of these financial statements, the Company has determined that all such agreements are debt.
Revenue Recognition
ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with
Customers (Topic 606)”, supersedes the revenue recognition requirements and industry specific guidance under Revenue Recognition
(Topic 605). Topic 606 requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount
that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Topic 606 defines a five-step
process that must be evaluated and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition
process than required under existing accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”)
including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction
price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. The Company adopted Topic 606 on March 1, 2018, using
the modified retrospective method. Under the modified retrospective method, prior period financial positions and results will not be adjusted.
There was no cumulative effect adjustment recognized as a result of this adoption. Refer to Note 4 – Revenue from Contracts with
Customers for additional information. For the six months ended August 31, 2023 , customers accounted for
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized when items of income and expense are recognized in the financial statements in different periods than when recognized in the tax return. Deferred tax assets arise when expenses are recognized in the financial statements before the tax returns or when income items are recognized in the tax return prior to the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also arise when operating losses or tax credits are available to offset tax payments due in future years. Deferred tax liabilities arise when income items are recognized in the financial statements before the tax returns or when expenses are recognized in the tax return prior to the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax
Act”) was signed into law. ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes requires companies to recognize the effects of changes in tax laws
and rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities and the retroactive effects of changes in tax laws in the period in which the new legislation
is enacted.
Leases
Lease agreements are evaluated to determine if they are sales/finance leases meeting any of the following criteria at inception: (a) transfer of ownership of the underlying asset; (b) purchase option that is reasonably certain of being exercised; (c) the lease term is greater than a major part of the remaining estimated economic life of the underlying asset; or (d) if the present value of the sum of lease payments and any residual value guaranteed by the lessee that has not already been included in lease payments in accordance with ASC 842-10-30-5(f) equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
If at its inception, a lease meets any of the four lease criteria above, the lease is classified by the Company as a sales/finance; and if none of the four criteria are met, the lease is classified by the Company as an operating lease.
Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term, whereby an equal amount of rent expense is attributed to each period during the term of the lease, regardless of when actual payments are made. This generally results in rent expense in excess of cash payments during the early years of a lease and rent expense less than cash payments in the later years. The difference between rent expense recognized and actual rental payments is recorded as deferred rent and included in liabilities.
Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity
The Company relies on the guidance provided by ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, to classify certain redeemable and/or convertible instruments. The Company first determines whether a financial instrument should be classified as a liability. The Company will determine the liability classification if the financial instrument is mandatorily redeemable, or if the financial instrument, other than outstanding shares, embodies a conditional obligation that the Company must or may settle by issuing a variable number of its equity shares.
Once the Company determines that a financial instrument should not be classified as a liability, the Company determines whether the financial instrument should be presented between the liability section and the equity section of the balance sheet (“temporary equity”). The Company will determine temporary equity classification if the redemption of the financial instrument is outside the control of the Company (i.e. at the option of the holder). Otherwise, the Company accounts for the financial instrument as permanent equity.
Our Chief Executive Officer/ Chairman holds sufficient shares of the Company’s voting preferred stock that give sufficient voting rights under the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Company such that the CEO/ Chairman can at any time unilaterally vote to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company, without the need to call a general meeting of common shareholders of the Company.
Initial Measurement
The Company records its financial instruments classified as liability, temporary equity or permanent equity at issuance at the fair value, or cash received.
Subsequent Measurement – Financial Instruments Classified as Liabilities
The Company records the fair value of its financial instruments classified as liabilities at each subsequent measurement date. The changes in fair value of its financial instruments classified as liabilities are recorded as other income (expenses).
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC Topic 820”) provides a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs).
The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820 are described as follows:
- 12 -
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
| ● | Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date. | |
| ● | Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. | |
| ● | Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability. |
Measured on a Recurring Basis
The following table presents information about our liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fell:
| Fair Value Measurement Using | |||||||||||||
| Amount at Fair Value |
Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | ||||||||||
| August 31, 2023 | |||||||||||||

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and advances, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS give effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used to determine the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options and/or warrants. Diluted EPS excluded all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
Basic loss per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed in a manner similar to the basic loss per share, except the weighted-average number of shares outstanding is increased to include all common shares, including those with the potential to be issued by virtue of convertible debt and other such convertible instruments. Diluted loss per share contemplates a complete conversion to common shares of all convertible instruments only if they are dilutive in nature with regards to earnings per share.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. Under ASU 2020-06, the embedded conversion features are no longer separated from the host contract for convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital. Consequently, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost, as long as no other features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. The new guidance also requires the if-converted method to be applied for all convertible instruments. The amendments in ASU 2020-06 are effective for public entities, excluding smaller reporting companies as defined, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. A reporting entity is not permitted to adopt the guidance in an interim period, other than the first interim period of its fiscal year. Adoption of the standard requires using either a modified retrospective or a full retrospective approach. Management is currently evaluating the effect of these provisions on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
4. REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
Revenue is earned primarily from two sources: 1) direct sales of goods or services and 2) short-term rentals. Direct sales of goods or services are accounted for under Topic 606, and short-term rentals are accounted for under Topic 842 (which addresses lease accounting and was adopted on March 1, 2019).
As disclosed in the revenue recognition section of Note 3 – Accounting Polices, the Company adopted Topic 606 in accordance with the effective date on March 1, 2018. Note 3 includes disclosures regarding the Company’s method of adoption and the impact on the Company’s financial statements. Revenue is recognized on direct sales of goods or services when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
After adopting Topic 842, also referred to above in Note 3, the Company is accounting for revenue earned from rental activities where an identified asset is transferred to the customer and the customer has the ability to control that asset. The Company recognizes revenue from its device rental activities when persuasive evidence of a contract exists, the performance obligations have been satisfied, the transaction price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Performance obligations associated with device rental transactions are satisfied over the rental period. Rental periods are short-term in nature. Therefore, the Company has elected to apply the practical expedient which eliminates the requirement to disclose information about remaining performance obligations. Payments are due from customers at the completion of the rental, except for customers with negotiated payment terms, generally net 30 days or less, which are invoiced and remain as accounts receivable until collected.
The following table presents revenues from contracts with customers disaggregated by product/service:

5. LEASES
We lease certain warehouses, and office space. Leases with an initial term of months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For lease agreements entered into or reassessed after the adoption of Topic 842, we did not combine lease and non-lease components.
There is no lease renewal. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise.
Below is a summary of our lease assets and liabilities at August 31, 2023 and February 28, 2023.
| Leases | Classification | August 31, 2023 | February 28, 2023 | ||||||
| Assets | |||||||||

| Operating | Current Operating Lease Liability | $ | $ | ||||||
| Noncurrent | |||||||||
| Operating | Noncurrent Operating Lease Liabilities | ||||||||
| Total lease liabilities | $ | $ | |||||||
Note: As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate of 10% which for the leases noted above was based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We compare against loans we obtain to acquire physical assets and not loans we obtain for financing. The loans we obtain for financing are generally at significantly higher rates and we believe that physical space or vehicle rental agreements are in line with physical asset financing agreements. CAM charges were not included in operating lease expense and were expensed in general and administrative expenses as incurred.

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
Occasionally, the Company may be involved in claims and legal proceedings arising from the ordinary course of its business. The Company records a provision for a liability when it believes that is both probable that a liability has been incurred, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If these estimates and assumptions change or prove to be incorrect, it could have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Contingencies are inherently unpredictable, and the assessments of the value can involve a series of complex judgments about future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions.
The related legal costs are expensed as incurred.

| ● | General and administrative expenses increased by $56,029. In comparing the three months ended August 31, 2023 and August 31, 2022 the decrease in G&A was primarily due to decreases in wages and salaries of $130,629 due to reduction in force, stock-based compensation of $68,727, office expenses of $12,885, travel $43,876, and bad debts expense of $31,270 due to fewer slow payers. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in professional fees of $173,170 mostly due compliance and audit fees increase and other G&A increases. |
| ● | Research and development decreased by $169,238 due to a reduction in funding on development of future products. |
| ● | Depreciation and amortization increased by $45,248 due to large increases in revenue earning devices, demo devices, tooling and computer equipment. |

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Cash Flows
Management believes that we will continue to incur losses for the immediate future. Therefore, we will need additional equity or debt financing until we can achieve profitability and positive cash flows from operating activities, if ever. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include and adjustments relating to the recovery of assets or the classification of liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
As of August 31, 2023, we had a cash balance of $1,512,112, accounts receivable of $260,671, device parts inventory of $1,689,930 and $28,753,936 in current liabilities. At the current cash consumption rate, we will need to consider additional funding sources going forward. We are taking proactive measures to reduce operating expenses and drive growth in revenue.
The successful outcome of future activities cannot be determined at this time and there is no assurance that, if achieved, we will have sufficient funds to execute our intended business plan or generate positive operating results.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable for a smaller reporting company.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of August 31, 2023. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of August 31, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed by us under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
| 1. | As of August 31, 2023, we did not maintain effective controls over our control environment. Specifically, we have not developed and effectively communicated to our employees our accounting policies and procedures. This has resulted in inconsistent practices. Further, the Board of Directors does not currently have any independent members and no director qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness. | |
| 2. | As of August 31, 2023, we did not maintain effective controls over financial statement disclosure. Specifically, controls were not designed and in place to ensure that all disclosures required were originally addressed in our financial statements. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness. |
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.
