In preparing the financial statsments. the trustees are res￿nSIble for assessing the charitable company's

Audltor's Re8ponsibilitiey for Ibe audit of the fiDgnciAI statements
Our objectives are to obtain r￿Onable assurdncc alK)￿ whether the financial slalements as a whole ar¢ free
from material rnisstatement, whether due to fraud or error. and to I￿Ue an auditor's rerK)rt that includes our
opinion. Reasonable a&surance is a high level of assurance. but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
Accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material mtsstatement when it exists. Misstatelnents Can artse
from fraud or error and are considered material if. individually or in aggregate. they could reasonably be
expected to influence the economic decisions of users tsken on the b&sis of these financial st&tem¢nts.
12

the Joscphé R2nk trust
As part of an audit tn accordance with ISAS (UK) we exercise professional judgement and maintain
profcsstonal scepticism throughout th¢ audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of mat¢rial MiS￿Ment of the f￿anCIal statements. whether due to fr&ud
or eTror, design and pcrfomi audit proced￿ ￿￿E￿)nsIve to those risk& and obtain audit evidence that
is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one ￿sUlting from etTor. as frnud may involve
collusion. forgery. intentional omission& misrepffsentatiOTLS. or the override of internal control.
ObtAin an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit proC¢du￿$
that are appropriat¢ in the CiTcumslance4 not for th¢ purtK)ses of exptEssing an opinion on the
effectiven¢s5 of the charitable cnmpany's internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies useAJ and the reasonabl¢ness of accounting
cstimates and related disclosur&s made by the trustees.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees. usc of the 80ing concern basis of accounting and,
based on the audit evidence obtained. whether a material uncertainty exists relaied to ¢v¢nts or
conditions that may cast Significani doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going
concern. If we conclude that a mat¢rial uncertainty exists, we are rwuired lo draw attention in our
auditor's report to the related disclosures in the fmancial statements or. if such disclosures are
inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on th¢ &Ltdit evidence obtained up to the
date of our auditor's report. However. future events or conditions may cause the charitablc company
to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the ov¢rnll presentstion. strncture and content of the financial ststements, including the
disclosures. and whether the financial stateTnents reprcsent the undcrlying transactions and cvcnts in
manner that achieves fair presenlalion.
We communicate with those char8ed with gov¢rn8nce regardin& among other m8tters. the planned scope and
timing ofthe audit and significant audxt finding4 includin8 any significant dcfi¢i¢n¢i¢s in intcrnal control that
we identify during our audit.
Explanmtlon ￿ to what extsD¢ th¢ audit waj coMid¢red eapable of dete¢littg irregularitie4 inelMding
fraud
Irregularities, including fraud. are instan￿5 of non-compliance with laws and regulations. W¢ design
procedure5 in line with our responsibilities. outlined aknve. to d¢te¢t m8ierial mi5Statem¢nts in respect of
irregulariti¢s. including fraud. Th¢ extent to which our pr()cedu￿S are capable of detecting irregularities,
in¢ludin8 fraud is detailed below.
The objectives of our audit in respect of fraud are: to identify and &ss¢ss the risks of material misststement of
th¢ fin&n¢ial 8tatements du¢ to fiiud. to obtain sufficient appropriate audit ¢vidence regarding the assessed
J'iJkJ of. matcrial misstatcm¢nt du¢ to fraud. through d¢tsignin8 And impleTnenting appropriate responses to
those ￿eSSed risks; ond to respond appropriately to instances of fraud or su5￿Cted fraud idenlified during the
audit. Howevcr, the primary responsibility for the prevention and defrction of fraud rcsts with both
management and thos¢ ch8r8d with governan¢¢ of the charitable company.
Our approach w&$ as follows.
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory requirements applicable to th¢ Charitable
company and consid¢r¢d that th¢ most significant arc the Compani¢s Act 2006, thtr Chariti¢s Act
13

The Josepho Rank trus
2011. th¢ Charity SORP. and UK fi[￿iCial reporting standards as issued by the Financial RqN)rting
Council.
We obtained an understanding of how the charitable company complies with these requirements by
discussions with management and those Charg￿ with governanLY.
We assessed the risk of matsriaj misstatement of the financi21 stAtements. including the risk of
material misstatemeni due to frdud and how it might ¢xcur. by holding di5¢USSiOJ)s with management
nd those charged with govern8n¢e.
We inquired of management and thos¢ ¢haTg￿ with governance &$ to 8ny known instances of noD-
Compliance or SUS￿Cted non4ompltance with laws and regulations.
Based on this understanding, we designeA specific appropriate audit PT(Kedures to identify instances
of non-wmpli8nce with laws and regUl￿10n$. This included making enquiries of management and
those eharged with governance and obtaining additional eorroiK)rative evidence as required.
There are inherent limitations in thc audvt PTc*¢dur¢s d¢wiiKd above. We arc less likely to become &war¢ of
instances of non-compliance with laws and regvlations that are not closely related to events and tr8nsactions
reflected in th¢ financial ststements. Also, thc risk of not detecting a material misstatem¢nt du¢ to fraud 1$
higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error. &8 fraud may involve dclibernte conc¢alment by.
for example, forgery or intentional misrepr¢sentstions. or through collusion.
Use ofour r¢port
This rep)rt is made solety fo the charitable compony's memlxr4 a5 a iKNay? in ac¢ordance with Chapter 3 of
Part 16 of th¢ Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has tten underlaken so that we mighi state to the
company's mcmb¢rs those mAttcrs we are requirtyj to slal¢ lo them in an auditor's report and for no oiher
purpose. To th¢ fullest extent pcrniittd by law. w¢ do not accept or assumc r¢S￿nsibIlItY to any party other
