Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, bul Is not a guarantee th81 an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always detect a material misstalemenl when it exists. Misstslemenls can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate. they could reasonably be expected lo influenco the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial ststemenls. As part Of an audit In accordance with ISAS IUKI we exercise professional judgement and rnainlaln professional sceplicism throughout the audit. We also..

We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to delecl material misstalemenis in respect of irregularities, including fraud. Thg exlenl to which our procedures ar& ¢apabl8 of delecling irregularities, including fraud is detailed below. The objectives of our audit in respect of fraud, are.. to identify and assfjss the risks of material misslalernent of the financial slalemenls due lo fraud.. lo oblain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due lo fraud, through designing and implementing appropriate responses lo those assessed risks,. and lo respond appropriately to instances of fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. However, the primary responsibility for the prevenb'on and detection of fraud rests with both managemenl and those Charged with governance of the charitable company. Our approa¢h was as follows.. We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory requlremenls applicable lo the charitable company and Considered that the most significant are the Companies Act 2006, the Charitie5 Act 2011, the Charity SORP, and UK financial reporting standards as issued by the Financial Reporting Council. We obtained an understanding of how the charitable company complies with these requirements by discussions with management and those charged with governance. We assessed the risk of material misslalemenl of the financial slalemenls, including the risk ol material misstatem@nt due lo fraud and how il might 0￿Ur. by holding discussions with management and those charged with govemance. We inquired of management and those charged with governance as lo any known instsnces of non-complianco or suspecl8d non-compliance with laws and regulations. Based on this understanding, we designed specific appropriate audit procedures to identify instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. This included making enquiries of management and those charged with governance and obtaining additional corroboratwe evidence as required. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above. We are less likely lo become aware of instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations that are not closely related to events and transa¢tions reflected in the financial slalernents. Also, the risk of not detecting a material mlsstslemenl due lo fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error. as fraud rnay involve deliberate concealmènt by, for example. forgery or inlèntional misreprgsentations. or through collusion.
