Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial sLitements Our objectives are lo obtsin reasonable assurance about whether the finanual statements as a whole are free from material misslalemenl, whether due to fraud or error, and lo issue a Retxwt of the Independent Auditors that inGludes our opinion. Reasonable assuran is a high level of assurance. but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance wth ISAS IUKI will always 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 to influence the economic deasions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. The extent to which our procEdures are capable of detectiThJ IegUlar[es. induding fraud is detailed below: Our planning procedures idenlfy the legal and regulatory frameworks appli(able to the operations and financial ststements of the company. These are reviewed internally with the audti team induding relevant industry experien and expectations as well as extemally wth the client management. The key laws and regulations we considered in this wntext were the UK Companies Act 2(X)6, Charits"es Act 2011, UK GAAP FRS 102 and relevant tax legislation. Once identrfied, we assess the risks of material misstatements in relation to the laws and regulations, irregularities, including fraud and adjust our testing ac4x)rdingly. Our audtt pro¢xdures indude.. Discussing with Trustees and management which areas of the business they believe to be more susceptible to fraud, and whether they have any knowledge or suspiuon of fraudulent a¢tivities- Obtaining an understanding of the key wntrols put in Pla by the company to address risk5 identffied, a5se55ing the effeth"veness of those and discussing how these are maintained and monrtored intemally,. Assessing the risk of management override and review and testiThJ of joumal entries made into the accounting system- Discussing with Trustees and Management the legal and regulatory d)ligati$ of the business and whether they have any knowledge or suspicion of [n cofflplian. Despite the audit being planned and conducted in accordance wth ISAS IUKI there remains an unavoidable risk that material missialemenis in the finan(#al slalemenis may not detecied owing to inherent limitations of Ihe audit, and that by their very nature, any such instsrKes of fraud or irregularities likely involve Ix)IIusion, forgery, intentional misrepresentstion, or the override of inlemal controls.
