MK G8Jlery's susrainable finance strategy includes the success of the trading subsidiary, MK Gallery
Enterprise Ltd. The subsidiary runs the Sky Room Cinema. the Café. the Shop and Priva￿ Hires. In
addition, the Gallery made the decision to increase ievenue potential by charging admission for all
exhibitions and non¢ducational events.
Overall secondary spend was impacted by the low¢r-than<xpected foorfall and it became a key focus
to build a CUSTomer base outside of visitors 10 the programmed activity.

products. In the shop products were sourced from I￿al artisr makers and in café local prixlucers

INDEPENDENT AUDITOILS, REPORT TO THE MEMBEILS OF MK GALLERY
Auditor responslbllllles for audit of Ihe financlal statements (continued)
Irregularities, including fraud. are insiances of non-compliance with18ws and regulauons. We design
procedures in line with our resp)nsibiliti<s. (xrtl1t￿ a￿Ve. to detect m￿er￿al missla￿￿en(S in respect
of irregularities. including fraud. The S￿ifiC prithlurts for this engagement al￿ the ex￿nt to which
these are capable of detecting ]￿egularl11ts. including fraud is detailed below:
We obtained an un(krslanding of the nanwe of the sector in whith the clwitabie company
group operaies, including the legal and regulatory framework applicable io the Charitable
company group. We consider that the most significant are the Ch￿ltieS St81ement of
Recommended Pracuce, the Financial Rew)rting Standard applicable in the Uniwl Kingdom
and Republic of IT¢laDd (FRS 102). the Charities Act 2011 and the parent charilable company's
Memorandum and Atti¢les of AS￿latiOn.
We obtained an understsnding of how the Ch￿l¢able ￿rnPany 8TOUP complics with these
requirements by discussions with those charged with goven)an¢e and reviewing the minutes of
Trustee meetings.
We &ssessed the risk of material mlssiatement of the financial statemenrs, including the risk of
material missth*menl due to fraud and how il might (Kcur. by holding discussions wilh those
charged with governance.
We inquired of those charged with governance about their own identification and assessment
of the risk of irrc8uiariti¢s. including any known actuaL suspected or alleged instances of
fraud.
We discussed matters about non-compliancc with law5 and regulations and IM)w fraud might
occur including asse&stnent of how and where the fin8Dcial statements rnay b¢ susceptible to
IT￿gUlarItieS or fraud.
B¥ed on this understanding. we designed stttific appropriate audit procethlres lo identify
instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. This included making enquiTies of
management and those eharged with governance and obtaining additional corroborative
evidence as tequired.
Because of the inherent Jimirations of an audiL thcrc is a risk we will not (ktect all irregularities,
including those leading io a Ma￿rial missthtemeni in the financial Slatemen￿ or Don-compliance with
regulation. This risk increases th¢ more that compliance with a law or Teguiation is removed from the
events and transactions refleC￿d in the financial staletnents. as we will be less lthely to bewme aware
of insiances of non4ompliance. The risk is also greaier regarding irregularities occuning due io fraud
rather than error. &$ fraud involves itiieniional eoDcetheni. forgery. collusioffj omission or
misrepresentation.
