Irregularilies. induding fraud, are instances of norFcompltan￿ with laws and regulations. We design procedures in
line with our responsibilitres, outlined above. to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities. including
fraud. The extent to which our wocedures are ￿pable of detecting irregularttles. induding fraud is detailed below:
the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate experience,
mPetsn￿. capabilities and skills to identify or rewjnise non￿￿lanCe wilti la￿ and regulations:
- through discussions with the trustees and olher managemen( and from our commeraal knowledge of the c*￿ri￿$
activities and objecttves. V￿ identtfied the laws and regulations applicable to the charity and focused on specific
laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the finanual ststements and
operations of the charity. These induded charity foundalion conslitutsons, govemance and policy matters and
employment legislation: and
- we remained alert to instsnces of norpcompliance throughout the audit and assessed the extent of compliance
through discussions with management and examination of (k)wmentation.
- We assessed the Sus￿Ptib11ty of the tharitys finaniial Staterne￿ to material misstatement and obtained an
understanding of how fraud might occur by:
making enquiries of management as to where they Conside￿ there was a susceptibilty to fraud and their
knowledge of any actual. suspected or alleged fraud: and
considering the intemal C£•ntrols in place to mitrgate the risk of fraud and non<ompliance with laws and
regulations.
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of ry)ntrols. we:
- ￿rfOrmed ana1￿j.Cal procedures to identify unusual or unexpe(*l ￿latiQr￿hI
reviewed the nominal tedger and. speafioliy. ioumal entries to identify lar98 or unusual transactions and
investigated thom: and
- we assessed the extent to which accounting entries rOr￿d on a high degree of judgement ar￿￿Or esttmation.
In response to the risk of irregularili8s and nCvFCxKn￿lan￿ with laws ￿ regulations we designed procedures
which induded:
- agreeing financial statement disdosures to Sup￿rting documentation;
- reading minutes of trustee I management meetings, relevant regulators and the charitys professional advisers:
and
- enquiring of management as to a(aual and [￿ntial Irbgakn arKI daiThs.
There are inherent limitations in our audtt PrOc￿ureS oudined above. The m(Tr removed that lakns and regulations
are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we vffjuld be￿rne awa￿ of norpp(tr)plian¢e. Auditing
stsndards also limit the audit prO￿dureS required to identtfy non<ompliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of
the trustees and other management and the inspection of regulatory arms legal correspondence, rf any.
Material misstatements that arise due to fraud C￿ be harder to detect than those that ain from error as they may
involve deliberate concealment andlor collusion.
