Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audlt conducted In accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a materlal misslalement when it exists. Misstatemenls can arfse from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economlc d8cisions of us8rs tsken on the basis of these financial statements. The exlent lo whlch our procedures are Capable of detectlng irregularikn'es. including fraud Is detalled below., Irr8gularities, Including fraud, are instances of non-complianGe with laws and regulallons. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outllned ab)ve, to dele¢t material misstaternenls in respect of irregularits'es. including fraud. Because of the inherent Ilmltations of an audit, there is a rfsk that W8 will nol d8tect all irregularlties.

This risk increas8S th8 more that complianc6 wilh a law or regulation is removed from thè events and transactions rellected in the financial siatem8nts. as will be less likely lo become aware of instances of nonrycomplianGe. The fisk is also greater regarding Irregularlties occurring du8 to fraud rather than effor, as fraud Involves inlentional concealment, forgery. colluslon, omlssion or misrepresaniatlon. In identlfylng and assessing the rfsks of material mis81atem8nt In respect of Irregularities, InGluding fraud and non-compllance with laws and regulatlons, we considered the followlng: -The nature and control envlronment of the charflable company -our di8CUS8ions with management and gov8rnanc8 including whether they had knovledge of any a¢lual, su8pe¢ted or alleged fraud -The Intemal controls to mitigat8 the rlsk8 of fraud Followlng our review, V￿ have Identllled the followlng areas whlch are deemed to have the highe8t potential lor fraud or material misstatemant wlthin Ihe financial statement8: - The limlng of Income rec(y3nition - The r16k of management Ove￿Ide We also consldered any laws and regulatlons that were central to the oper8tlon of the charitabl8 company including company law, charity law, employment law and health and safety. The following procedur8s were undertaken in respect of the risks where we idgnlified the polenllal for materfal misstatement: Incom8 trans8cllon lesling was perfo￿ed to ensure cornpletene8s of Income.
