INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
MIND BLMK
For the year Ended 31stMarch 2021		 Page Page Page 12
Irregularities,
including
fraud, are instances ofnon-compliance
with laws and regulations.		 We design procedures in
line with our responsibilities,
outlined above, to detect material
misstatements
in respect of irregularities,		 including
fraud. The extent to which our procedures
are capable ofdetecting
irregularities,
including		 fraud is detailed below:
The extent to which the audit was considered
capable ofdetecting
irregularities
including
fraud
In identifying
and assessing
the risks of material
misstatement
in respect of irregularities,		 including
fraud		 and non-
compliance
with laws and regulations,
we considered
the following;
The nature ofthe industry
and sector, control environment
and business
performance		 including
the design of
~
the remuneration
policies, key drivers for trustee remuneration,
bonus levels and performance
targets;
results ofour enquiries
of Management
about their own identification
and assessment		 ofthe risks of
irregularities;
any matters we identified
having
obtained
and review the charitable
company's
documentation
oftheir		 policies
and procedures
relating
to;
o
identifying,
evaluating
and complying
with laws and regulation
and whether
they were aware ofany
instances
of non-compliance;
o
detecting
and responding
to the risks offraud and whether
they have knowledge
ofany actual, suspected
or alleged fraud;
o
the internal
controls established
to mitigate risks offraud or non-compliance
with laws and regulations;
the matters discussed
among the audit engagement
team regarding
how and where fraud might occur in the
financial statements
and any potential
indicators offraud.
As a result ofthese procedures,
we considered
the opportunities
and incentives
that may		 exist within the
organisation
for fraud.
In common
with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required
to		 perform specific
procedures
to respond
to the risk of management
override.
We also obtained
an understanding
ofthe legal and regulatory
frameworks
that the charitable
company operates
in, focusing on provisions
ofthose laws and regulations
that had a direct effect on the determination
of material
amounts
and disclosures
in the financial statements.
The key laws and regulations
we considered
in this		 context
included
the UK Companies
Act.
In addition,
we considered
provisions
ofother laws and regulations
that do not have a direct effect on the		 financial
statements
but compliance
with which may be fundamental
to the company's
ability to operate or to avoid		 a
material
penalty. These included
the Employment
law.
Audit response to risks identified
To address the risk of fraud through
management
bias and override ofcontrols, we:
~
performed
analytical
procedures
to identify any unusual
or unexpected
relationships;
~ tested journal
entries to identify
unusual
transactions;
~ assessed whether judgements
and assumptions
made
in determining
the accounting
estimates were indicative
~
investigated
the rationale
behind
significant
or unusual
transactions.
In response to the risk of irregularities
and non-compliance
with laws and regulations,
we		 designed
procedures
which included,
but were not limited to:
~
agreeing
financial statement
disclosures
to underlying
supporting
documentation;
~
reading the minutes ofmeetings
ofthose charged
with governance;
and
~
enquiring
ofmanagement
as to actual and potential
litigation
and claims
There are inherent
limitations
in our audit procedures
described above. The more removed
that laws and
regulations
are from financial transactions,
the less likely it is that we would become aware ofnon-compliance.
Auditing
standards
also limit the audit procedures
required
to identify non-compliance
with		 laws and regulations to
enquiry ofthe directors and other management
and the inspection
ofregulatory
and legal		 correspondence, ifany.
Material misstatements
that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as		 they may
involve deliberate
concealment
or collusion.
A further description
ofour responsibilities
is available
on the Financial
Reporting
Council's website at:
www, frc.org.uk/auditors
responsibilities.
This description
forms part ofour auditor's
report.
Use ofour report
This report is made solely to the charitable
company's
members, as a body,
in accordance		 with Chapter 3of Part
16ofthe Companies
Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken
so that we might state to the charitable
company's
members those matters we are required
to state to them
in an auditor's
report		 and for no other
purpose. Tothe fullest extent permitted
by law, we do not accept or assume
responsibility		 to anyone other than the
charitable
company
and the charitable
company's
members as a body, for our audit work,		 for this report, or for the
opinions we have formed.
