Our responsibilities lor the audit of the financial stattments
We have been appointed as auditors under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and retM)rt in accordance with the Act and
relevant regulations made or having effe¢1 thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable a5sufdnce about whether the financial staiement5 as a whole are free from material
misstatemeni, whether due to fraud or error, and io issue o Reporr of ihe Independenr Auditors ihol includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assutance, but is not a guatalliee thai an audii conduc￿d in accordance w'ith ISAS
IUKI will always delect o niaierial misstai¢m¢ni when li exisrs. Missiaiemenis can arise froni fraud or error ai)d are
considered material if, individually or in the aggregaie. Ihe}' could reasonabl> be eXpeC￿d to influence ihe economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial stsiements.
Irregulariiies, including frdud, are insiances of nonrycompliance with laws and regulaiions. We design procedures in line with
our re5pon5ibilities. outlined above. io detect tnaierial mi5St3tements in respect of irregularities. includin¥ fraud. The extent
to which our procedu￿S are capabl¢ of dei¢cling irr¢gularilics. including fraud is detailcd b¢loM':
I We enquired of management thos¢ charged with gov¢rnan¢¢ about actual and FM)t¢ntial litigation and clairn5 iii the
context ofthe conipany, including review of relevani Jiominal ledger accounts.
2 - W¢ obtained an und¢r5tanding of laws. regulalions and ¥uidan¢e that 8ff¢ci th¢ conipgny, focusing on thos¢ that had a
dirccl etTect on the financial staiemcnis or ihai had a fundamcn¢al cffcci oil their operaiions. Key laws, rcgyulatioiis and
guidance thai we identified included the Companies Aci 2(M)6. health and safety legislaiion and employment legisla(ion.
3 We enquired of nianagenieni and those charged ￿'ith governance io identify any ins￿1}ceS of nDiivcompliance w'ith laws
and rebpiilations. We also reviewed meeiing minuies where available for eviden¢e of nonacomplian¢e wilh rel¢vanL laws and
reLILilatiuns.
We reviewed the ¢ompany's finan¢ial staiemeni dis¢losures. and agreed 411 io supportii)g do¢umen¢atioi) to assess
ompliance with the applicable laws and regulations discussed above.
5 - We gained an under51anding of the controls that management have in place io preven¢ and det¢ct fraud. We eiiquired of
managiemenl aboui any incidences of fraud thai had iaken place during the accouniing period.
6 - The risk of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations was di%us5ed within the audit team and test5 were
planned and perfomied to address these risks.
7 - In addressing ihe risk of fraud due to managemeni override of control& we perfomied tesiing of journal entries and other
adjusimenis for appropriateness. evaluaiing the business rationale of significant transaciions ou(side ihe iiomial course of
busines5 and rcvicwitL8 accountiri8 estimates for bias.
8 - We also challenge management assumpiions with regard to accounting estimates.
Despite appropriate planning and perforniing our work in accordance with International Auditing Standards, there are alw'ays
inherent limitation5 that non-compliance L5 not detected. NOn￿oMplI3nct with and regulation5 15 often further reinoved
