We communicated identified lav•5 and rewtations thr(KtglhJJt our team and remained alert to ary indicatlons of non-
ompliance throLtghout the audit.
The potential effect of these lav45 and regulations i)n the financial stateffents varies considerably.
Firstly, the Charity and gr(wp is subject to Lay￿ and regulations that directly affect financial statements including
financial reporting legislation, taxation legislation and Charities Act legislation and we assessed the extent of
compliance with these lay￿ and regulations as part of our prcKedwes on the related financial statement items.
Secondly, tl* Charity and group is subject to mary other laws and rewlationsvthere the consequènces of noncornpliance
could have a material efftyt on am¢)unts or disclosures in the finarKial statements, for instance through Imposition
of fSne5 or litigation or the loss of the Charitys and group's license to operate. We identified the following areas as
those most likely to have such an effect: ￿alth and safety. anti-brI￿ry, eMplO￿￿ent law, data protection, anti-money
laundering and speciflc area5 of other le5￿51atIOn recognising the nature of the Charity'5 and group's activities.
Auditing standards Ilmlt the rewired audit Pr￿e(knres to identify nM<cKnpliance with these la￿￿ and regulatlons to
enwTry of management, insFection of regulat(ry and legal CorreSp￿dence. if any. Therefore, if a breach of operational
regulations Is not disclosed to us or ￿[dent fr{￿ relevant corresp￿denCe, an audit will not detect that breach.
Context of the ability of the a4Klit to detect fraud or brthxhes of law or regulation
Owing to the inherent limitations of an auth't. t1￿￿ is an unavoTdable risk that we may not have detected some materlal
misstatements in the financial staternents, even th￿9h V￿ have proF*rly planned and performed our audit In
accordance V￿th aucliting standards. For example. the further removed non-cc¥npliance with laws and regulations 15
from the events and transactions refiected in financial staternents. the less likely inherently limited procethres
req￿red by auditing standards v•)uld identify IL
In addition, as with any audlt, there remained a hitsr risk of non-detectlon of fraud, as these may involve collusion,
forgery, intentional omission5, misrepresentations, or the overrith of internal controls. Our audit procedures are
designed to detect material misstatenEnt. We are not reswnslble for weventing non<0Mplian￿ or fraud and cannot
be expected to detect non<ompliance with all lav￿ and rewlati(ms.
A further description of our responslbilities for the a￿Tt of the financial statements is located on the Flnanclal Reporting
