PARKS OPTIONS LIMITED COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF PARKS OPTIONS LIMITED The extent to whlch the audlt wa$ conslder8d capable of detectlng IrregularEtle$, Including fraud Our approach lo identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in re3pecl of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance wth laws and regulations, was as follows.. the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence. capabilities and skills to identify tsr recognise non4compli8n¢e wth applicable laws and regulations.. we identified the laws and regulations applicable lo the company through discussions wth directors and other management.. we focused on speclflc laws and regulations ￿lch we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial slalemenls or the operations ol the company, including the Companies Act 2006, laxallon legislation and data protection. anti-bribery. ernploymenl and health and safety legi51alion., we assessed the extent ol compliance with the laws and regulalitsns identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal ¢orrespondence.' and idenb'fied laws and regulations were communl¢aled within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert lo instances of non<ompliance throughout the audlt. We a33essed the susceptibility of the company's financial stslemenls lo material misslalemenl, Includlng obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by- making enquiries of rnanagemenl a5 to where they considered there was susceptibilty lo fraud, Ihelr knowledge of actual. suspected and alleged fraud,. and considering the internal controls in place lo miligale risks of fraud and nonrfompliance with laws and regulations. To address the risk of fraud through management bia$ and override of contro15, we.. perfomied analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected rel8lionships- tested journal entries to identify unusual Iransaclions., assessed whether judgemen15 and assumptions made in determining the accounting estlmales were indicative of potential bias", and investigated the rationale behind slgnlficanl or Unusu￿ tran5action$. In response lo the risk of irregularities and ntsn-compliance wth laws and regulations, we designed procedures whieh in¢luded, bul wert not Ilmiled to". agreeing financial statement disclosure5 Its underlying supporting documentation., reading the minute5 of meetings of those charged wlh goveman¢e.' and enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims. There are inhergnt limitations in OUT 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 of non-compllance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required lo Identify non-compliance with laws and regulations lo enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Material misslatemenls that arise due to fraud can be harder to deled than those that arSse from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
