    Our procedures will include tests of documentary evidence supporting the transactions recorded in the accounts, tests of the physical existence of inventories, and direct confirmation of receivables and payables and certain other assets and liabilities by correspondence with selected customers, creditors, and financial institutions.

In addition, an audit is not designed to detect immaterial errors, fraud, or other illegal acts or illegal acts that…

Also there is conflicting characterization of Aylmer and Georgiana’s characters where Hawthorne used his imaginative art to tell society throughout the story which is still applicable in today’s era. But at the end of the day Hawthorne showed the fact that the birthmark is a part of creation of God and Nature and messing with them will result in what happened at the end of his experiment on Georgiana. That is the way Hawthorne showed his stand on that conflicting idea that judgment and perfection are Nature’s duties and science is not a creator or part of creation. There could easily be detected the confliction in some events how could someone like Aminadab possibly be working side by side with the intellectual scientist, Aylmer? How can Georgiana proceed with the experimental cure after reading Aylmer’s scientific journal and after witnessing firsthand the failure of the flower…
