Auditors, responslblllti•s for the audit of the flnanclal statsments

regulatlons m8de or ha￿ng effgct Ihereunder.
Our objectives are lo oblaln reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material

level of assurance. but is not a guarantee that an audit conducled In acLx)rdance wth ISAS IUKI wll always delect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misslatemenls can arlse from fraud or 9rror and are considered rnalerial If, Sndividually or in the
aggregate, they rK)uld reasonably be èxpectèd to influence tho economic decisions of users taken on the basls of these flnanclal

We addr&ssed the rfsk of fraud through management bias and the over-ride of contro15 by assessing thelher judgements and
assumptions made by management were Indlcatlv& of polenual bias and by lnv8sligallng the rationale behind significant or unusual
transactlons. In order to address the risk of irregularities we carried out procedures which Included agreeing the financlal statements to
underfying documentation and enqulrfng of management as to actual and potential litigation and inslan¢e5 of non-Gomplian¢e.
We obtsin an understanding of Internal control relevant to the audit in order lo deslgn procedures that are approprfate to our audlt
oblecbves. but not for the PLtrposes of expresslng an opinion on the effectiveness of the charity's inlemal Gonlrol.
There are Inherent limitatlons in these audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from
financial transactions, the less Ilk8ly il is that we would be aware of non.compliance. Auditing standards also limit the procedures
required lo identify non-compliance to enqulry of management and Inspecllon of relevant correspondence. Furthermore misslalements
due to fraud can be harder to detect that those that arise from error as they may involve daliberatè concealm&nt or c4)11usion.
A further desthption of our responsibilities for the audlt of the financlal ststements Is locat8d on the Financlal Reporbng Councll's
