THE CITY OF LONDON SCHOOL CHARITABLE TRUST REPORT OF THE INDEPENDEKT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS Matters on whlth we are required to report by exceptlon In the light of CUT knowledge and understsnding of the tharity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors. report.

Responslbllltles of trustees As explained more fully in the trustees. respon5ibilitles ststement, the trustees are re5ponslble for the preparatlon of the financial statements and for being 5atisfled that they glve a true and fair view. and for such Internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material mi55tatemenL whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the finanoal ststements, the trustees are rest)onsible for assessing the charit$ ability to continue as a Eoing concern. disc105in& as applicable, matters related to going Concern and using the goln8 concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either Intend to liquidate the charity or to cease Operations. or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Audilorfs re5ponsibllS1ies for the audlt of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assuran about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material mi5Statement. whether due to fraud or error. and to issue an auditorfs report that includes our opinlon. Reasonable assurance Is a high level of assurance. but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always detett a material mitateMent when it exists. Misstatements can arlse from fraud or error and are ton5idered materlal if, individualty or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to infiuence the economic decislons of users taken on the basis of these financial staternents. Irre8ularities, includins fraud. are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detetting irregularities. including fraud. is detailed beli)w. Extent to which the audit wa5 consldered tapable of deterting irregularftie& indudingfraud The objettives of our audit, in respett to fraud. are: to identify and assess the risks of material mlsstatement of the finantial statements due to fraud- to obtain sufficient appropriate audit Èvidence regarding the assessed risks of material mlsstatement due to fraud, through desi8ning and implementing appropriate responses; and to respond approprlately to fraud or suspected fraud identifièd during the audit. However. the primary responslbility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests wlth both those thar8ed with Eovernance of the entity and its management. Our approach wa5 as follows: We identified areas of law5 and regulations that Uld reasonably be expetted to have a material effect on tho financial statements from our general commercial and sector experlence, and through discusslon with the directors and other management las required by ouditlng standards). and dlscussed with the directors and other management the policies and procedures re8arding compliance with laws and regulatlons. We klentlfied the following areas as those most likely to have such an effert.. health and safety,. General Dats Protectlon Regulation (GDPRI: fraud and brlbery and corruption. Auditing standards Ilmit the required audit procedure5 to identlfy non<ompliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the trustees and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. We consldered the legal and regulatory frameworks directly applicable to the financial statements reporting framework IFRS 102 and the Charities Art 2011) and the relevant tax compliance regulations in the UK; We considered the nature of the charitys operations. the control environrnent and business performance, including the key drivers for management's remuneration;
THE CITY OF LONDON SCHOOL CHARITABLE TRUST REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our team and remained alert to any indlcations of non<ompllance throughout the audwt; We considered the procedures and controls that the charlty has established to add5 risks identified. or that otherwise prevent. deter and detect fraud; and how senior management monitors those PrraMmeS and controls. Based on this understsndin8 designed our audit produreS to identify non-compliance with such laws and regulations. Where the risk was considered io be higher, we perfomied audit ProdureS to addres5 each identified fraud risk. These procedure5 induded: testing m3nual journals; reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation,. performing anaiytical procedures" and enquiring of management. and were designed to provlde reasonable assuran that the financial statements were free from fraud or error. Owing to the inherent Ilmitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detetted some material misstatements in thefinancial ststements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compllance with laws and regulation51irre8ularitlesl Is from the events and transactlons refletted in the financial statements. the le Itkely the inherently limited procedures required by auditin8 Standards would identify it. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error. as fraud involves Intenttonal concealment forgery. collusion. omission or misrepresentation. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-eompliance with all laws and regulations.
