Jewish Education and Publishing Trust Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Jewish Education and Publishing Trust (contlnued) Year ended 31 March 2026 Audltor's responslbllltles for the audlt of the flnanclal statements Our objectives are lo obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and lo issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always detect a material misstatement when il exists. Misststemenls can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected lo influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial stalemenls. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design prOdureS in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, lo delecl material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent lo which our procedures are capable of delecling irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.. We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the Jewish Education and Publishing Trust operates in, and identified the key laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the delerminalion of material amounts and disclosures In the financial stalemenls. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAS IUKI, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the aLJdil. We also.. Identify and assess the risks of material misstalemenl of the financial statements, whether due lo fraud or error, design and perform audit prOdureS responsive to those risks, and obtain audit eviden that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not delecling a material misstalemenl resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of Internal control. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant lo the audit in order lo design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees. Conclude on the appropriateness of the Iruslees, use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtsined, whether a material uncertainly exists related lo events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability lo continue as a going concem. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, lo modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit eviden obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charity lo cease lo continue as a going concern. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentstion.
