REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF

Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditors under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordan￿ with the Act
and relevant regulations made or having effect theieunder.
Our objectives are to oblain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes
our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordan￿ wilh ISAS {UK) will atways detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud
or error and are considered material if. individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected lo influen
the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
The extent to which our prO￿d￿reS are capable of detecting irregularities. induding fraud is detailed below:
I have considered the legal and regulation requirements appli(3ble to the charity including the Charity Act 2011 and the
changes introduced by the Charities Act 2022 and the charity Sotp. I have focused on specific laws and regulations
which I considered may have a material effect on the financial statements, data protection. employment and risk
assessments carried out by the TrLtstees.
I discussed Ihe risks of non-cofflp1ian￿ wilh the laws and regulations the Trustees and also made enquiries with
them as to any known InStan￿S of non-compliance or if they suspected any non-complian￿ with laws and regulations.
considered any risks of material mis-slatement of the financial statements due lo fraud or error how this could occur.
Following discussions held with the management and the Trustees. l also looked at any possible weaknesses in the
internal controls that could result in fraud or non-compliance and have designed our audit procedures lo test Ihe controls
and inlemal pr0￿dureS. I have carried out analytical pro￿dureS to identrfy and unusual or unexpected relationships.
A further description of OLJr responsibilities for Ihe audit of the financial slatemenls is localed on the Financial Reporting
Courlcil's website at www.frc.org.ukJauditorsresponsibilrties. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent
Auditors.
