The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

As part of our planning process:

-Weenquiredofmanagementthesystemsandcontrolsthecompanyhasinplace,theareasofthe financial
statementsthataremostlysusceptibletotheriskofirregularitiesandfraud,andwhethertherewasany known,
suspected or alleged fraud.

-Weobtainedanunderstandingofthelegalandregulatoryframeworksapplicabletothecompany.We determined
that the following were most relevant: FRS 102, Companies Act 2006, Charities Act 2011, GDPR and Employment Law.
- We consideredthe incentivesand opportunitiesthat exist in the company,includingthe extentof management bias,
which present a potential for irregularities and fraud to be perpetuated, and tailored our risk assessment accordingly.
- Using our knowledgeof the company,togetherwith the discussionsheld with the companyat the planningstage, we
formedaconclusionontheriskofmisstatementduetoirregularitiesincludingfraudandtailoredour procedures
according to this risk assessment.

The key procedures we undertook to detect irregularities including fraud during the course of the audit included:

- Identifyingand testing journal entries and the overall accountingrecords, in particularthose that were significant and
unusual.

- Reviewingthe financialstatementdisclosuresanddeterminingwhetheraccountingpolicieshavebeen appropriately
applied.

- Assessing the extent of compliance, or lack of, with the relevant laws and regulations.

-Reviewingboardmeetingminutesthroughouttheperiodandsubsequenttotheyearendfordiscussions of

- Reviewing sensitive expense accounts for evidence of irregularities including fraud.
