|A further description
ofour responsibilities
for the audit ofthe financial
statements
is located on||the Financial
Reporting||||Council's|||
|website at: [www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilitiesj.
This description
forms part of our auditor's||report.|||||||
|Extent to|which the audit was considered
capable ofdetecting
irregularities,
including
fraud||||||||
|~|the engagement
partner ensured
that the engagement
team collectively
had the appropriate
competence,||||capabilities|||and|
||skills to identify or recognise non-compliance
with applicable
laws and regulations;||||||||
|~|we identified
the laws and regulations
applicable
to the company
through
discussions|with directors and other|||||||
||management,
and from our commercial
knowledge
and experience
ofthe charity sector;||||||||
|~|we focused on specific laws and regulations
which we considered
may have a direct material||effect on the financial||||||
||statements
or the operations
ofthe company,
including
the Companies
Act 2006, the|Charities|Act 2011,||data|protection|||
||and health and safety regulation;||||||||
|~|we assessed the extent ofcompliance
with the laws and regulations
identified
above through||making|enquiries|||of key||
||management
and inspecting
legal correspondence;
and||||||||
|~|identified
laws and regulations
were communicated
within the audit team regularly
and the team remained||||alert||to||
||instances of non-compliance
throughout
the audit.||||||||
|Audit response to risks identified|||||||||
|We assessed the susceptibility
ofthe company's
financial statements
to material
misstatement,||including|obtaining||an||||
|understanding
of how fraud might occur, by:|||||||||
|~|making enquiries
of management
as to where they considered
there was susceptibility|to fraud, their||knowledge|||of actual,||
||suspected
and alleged fraud; and||||||||
|~|considering
the internal
controls
in place to mitigate
risks offraud and non-compliance|with laws and||regulations.|||||
|To address the risk offraud through
management
bias and override ofcontrols, we:|||||||||
|~|performed
analytical
procedures
to identify any unusual
or unexpected
relationships;||||||||
|~|tested journal
entries to identify
unusual
transactions;||||||||
|~|assessed whether judgements
and assumptions
made
in determining
the accounting|estimates set out in|||Note||1 were||
||indicative of potential
bias; and||||||||
|~|investigated
the rationale
behind
significant
or unusual
transactions.||||||||
|In response to the risk of irregularities
and non-compliance
with laws and regulations,
we designed
procedures||||which included,||||but|
|were not limited to:|||||||||
|~|agreeing
financial statement
disclosures
to underlying
supporting
documentation
and;||||||||
|~|enquiring
of key management
as to actual and potential
litigation
and claims.||||||||
|~|reviewing
correspondence
with the Charity Commission||||||||
|There are|inherent
limitations
in our 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-compliance.
Auditing
standards||||also|limit|the audit|||
|procedures|required
to identify
non-compliance
with laws and regulations
to enquiry ofthe directors and other|||management
and|||||
|the inspection
of regulatory
and legal correspondence,
if any. Material
misstatements
that arise due to fraud||||can|be|harder||to|
|detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate
concealment
or collusion.|||||||||
