This expressly overrides any statutory provision which would otherwise apply. 5.4 This engagement is separate from and unrelated to any audit work of the accountant on the financial statements of the [grant recipient] for the purposes of any applicable statutory or regulatory or other auditing framework and nothing herein creates obligations or liabilities regarding the accountant’s audit work, which would not otherwise exist.
