Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor'sResponsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent ofWren, Inc. and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relatingto our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis forour audit opinion.Responsibilities of Management for the Financial StatementsManagement is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance withaccounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, andmaintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are freefrom material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, management isrequired to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise significant(Comment f) doubt about Wren, Inc.'s ability to continue as a going concern for one year subsequent to issuance ofthese financial statements.Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial StatementsOur objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free frommaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion.Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee thatan audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of notdetecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involvecollusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Accordingly, we areunable to obtain reasonable assurance that fraud will be detected. (Comment g) Misstatements are considered materialif, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of usersmade on the basis of these financial statements.In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, anddesign and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis,evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. • Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, anddesign and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis,evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that areappropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Wren,Inc's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. (comment h)• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accountingestimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.• Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raisesubstantial doubt about Wren, Inc's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the plannedscope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal controlrelated matters that we identifiedduring the audit.Ying and Company, CPASPhoenix, Arizona February 3, 20X2 (Comment i)(Comment j)Respond as to the accuracy of the following comments made by a reviewer of the report:Page 70Comment is Correct (yesReviewer's Commentsor no)a.

Mark Williams, CPA, was engaged by Jackson Financial Development Company to audit the financial statements of Apex Construction Company, a small closely held corporation. Williams was told when he was engaged that Jackson Financial needed reliable financial statements that would be used to determine whether to purchase a substantial amount of Apex Construction’s convertible debentures at the price asked by the estate of one of Apex’s former directors.
