Ouf objetlives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financlal stalernenls as a whole afe free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report Ihat includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance wiih15As
IUKI will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misslatement5 can arise from fraud or error 3nd are
considered material if, individually or in the aggregate. they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions ol users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularitie5, Including fraud, are instance5 of non.compliance wlth law5 and iegulation5. We design procedure5 In line
wlth our responsibilities, outlined above, to deiecl material misstatements in respect of irre8ulaiities, including fraud. The
extent lo which our procedures are capable of detectin8 irre8ularitie5, includin8 fraud is detailed below:
the senior statutory auditor ensured that the en8a8ement team collectively had the appropriate competence,
capabillties and sk1115 to idertlify or recognise non-compliance wlth applicable law5 and regulations,.
we identified the laws and regulatlons applicable lo the group through discusslons with management and
Irustees, and from our knowledge and experience5 01 the 5eclor:
we focussed on specllic laws and re8ulalions which we considered rnay have a dlrect rnaterlal elfecl on the
financial statements or the operations of the group. including Companies Act 2006, Charities Act 2011, health
and safety. data protection and food hy8iene standards,.
we a55e55ed the extent of compllance with the laws and regulations identified above throu8h making enqulries of
management.
identified laws and re8ulation5 were commufticated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert
to inslances of non-compliance Ihrou8houl the audit.
We a55essed the susceptibility of the 8roup's financlal statements to materlal mlsstatement. Includln8 obtalnln8 an
understanding of how fraud might occur, bv..
making enquiries of manaBement as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowled8e of
actual, suspected and alleged fraud. and
considerin6 the Internal controls in place to mili8ate risks of fraud and non-compllance with laws and re8ulatlons.
To address the risks ot fraud through management blas and overrlde controls. we..
performed analytical procedures to identify èny unusual or unexpected relationships;
tested journal entrie5 to identily unusual transactions.. and
nvestigated the rationale behind slgnlflcant or unusual transactions
In response to the risk of Irregularities and non-compliance with laws and re8ulatlons, we desi8ned procedures whlch
inclvded, but were not Ilmlted to..
agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supportin8 documentation,.
readin8 the minutes of meetln8s of those char8ed with governance,.
enquiring of mana8ement as to actual and potential litigation and claims.
8ecav5e of the inherent limStations of an audit, Ihere 15 a risk that we wlll not delect all irregularities. Includlng those
leadlng to a material mlsstatement in the financial statemenis or non-cornpliance with regulation. This risk Increases the
more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and trènsactions reflecied in the financial
statements. as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding
Ifre8ularities occurrin8 due to fraud rather than error. as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion.
