Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Matters on which we are required to report by exception We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities {Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the Charities Accounts {Scotlandl Regulations 2006 (as amended) requires us to report to you if, in our opinion.. the information given in the Trustees, report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements., or the parent charitable company has not kept sufficient and proper accounting records., or the parent charitable company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns., or we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Page 10
THE SWIMMING TEACHERS ASSOCIATION LTD (A company limited by guarantee) INDEPENDENT AUDITORS. REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE SWIMMING TEACHERS ASSOCIATION LTD (CONTINUED) Auditors. responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements We have been appointed as auditor under section 151 of the Charities Act 2011 and section 44(1 Ilc) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. and to issue an Auditors, report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) 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 decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities. outlined above, 10 detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.. We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our.. general commercial and sector experience., through verbal and written communications with those charged with governance and other management,. through communications with other group auditors, through communications with legal counsel, and via inspection of the company's regulatory and legal correspondence. We discussed with those charged with governance and other management the policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations. We communicated identified laws and regulations to our team and remained alert to any indicators of non- compliance throughout the audit, we also specifically considered where and how fraud may occur within the company. The potential effect of these laws and regulations on the financial statements varies considerably. Firstly. the company is subject to laws and regulations that directly affect the financial statements, including.. the company's constitution, relevant financial reporting standards., company law,. lax legislation and distributable profits legislation and we assess the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items. Secondly the company is subject to many other laws and regulations where the consequences of non- compliance could have a material effect on the amounts or disclosures in the financial statements, for instance through the imposition of fines and penalties. or through losses arising from liligalions. We identified the following areas as those most likely to have such an affect.. operating licences., employment legislation; health and safety legislation., trade and export legislation., legislation relevant to the commercialldomestic propety rental environment; the regulatory requirements,. GDPR,. anti-bribery and corruption legislation. International Auditing Standards (UK} limit the required procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations lo the procedures, and no procedures over and above those already noted are required. These limited procedures Idid notl identify any actual or suspected non-compliance which laws and regulations that could have a material impact on the financial statements. I n relation to fraud, we performed the following specific procedures in addition to those already noted. Challenging assumptions made by management in its significant accounting estimates in particular.. Page11
THE SWIMMING TEACHERS ASSOCIATION LTD (A company limited by guarantee) INDEPENDENT AUDITORS, REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE SWIMMING TEACHERS ASSOCIATION LTD (CONTINUED) Warranty provision, Dilapidation provision, Decommission cost and Depreciation., Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any entries posted with unusual nominal ledger account combinations, journal entries crediting cash or any revenue account, journal entries posted by senior management., Performing analytical procedures to identify unexpected movements in account balances which may be indicative of fraud., Ensuring that testing undertaken on both the Statement of Comprehensive Income including Profit or Loss Account and the Balance Sheet includes a number of items selected on a random basis., These procedures did not identify any actual or suspected fraudulent irregularity that could have a material impact on the financial statements. Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with International Auditing Standards UK). For example, the further removed non- compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the procedures that we are required to undertake would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remains a high risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these might involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentation, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non- compliance with laws and regulations or fraud, and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations or every incidence of fraud.
