Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor undei Section 144 of the Chaiities Act 2011 and under the Companies Act
2CK)6 and report in accordance with the Acts and relevant regulation5 made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assvrznce about whether the financial statements a5 a whole are free

from fiaud or error and are ¢on5idered material if, individually or in the ag8re8ate. they could re350nably be
expected to influence the etonornic deasions of usefs taken on the basi5 of these financial statements.
Details of the extent to which the audit was considered capable of detetting irregularitie5, including fraud and
non-compliance with laws and regulations are set out below.
A furiher description of our re5ponsibtlktie5 for the audit of the financial ststements is located on the Financial
Reporb"ng Council'5 website at.. www.frc.org.vvauditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our
auditor'5 report.
Extent to which the audit was considered capable of deterting Irre8ularitie5, induding fraud
Irregularities, including fraud. are instances ol non-compliance wth laws and regulat*ons. We identified and
355essed the risks of material misstaiement of the financial statements from brre8ularities, whether due to fraud
or error. and distUS5ed these between our audit team members. We then designed and perforrned audit
procedures re5ponsiv¢ to those risks. including obtaining audit evidence sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our opinion.
We obtained an understanding ol the legal and re8ulatory frameworks within which the charitable companv
operates, locusing on those law5 and regulatr'ons that have a direct effect on the determination of material
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The laws ènd regulations we consideied in this context
were the Compan¢e5 Act 2006. the Charities Act 2011 Mth the Chaflties SORP IFR5 1021. We assessed the
reouired compliance with these laws and regulations as part ol our audit procedures on the related financial
statement item5.
12

**THE ARNOLD FOUNDATION FOR RUGBY SCHOOL** 

In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which might be fundamental to the charitable company's ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. We also considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the charitable company for fraud. The laws and regulations we considered in this context for the UK operations were General data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Health and Safety Legislation, Employment Law, and Anti­ Fraud, Bribery and Corruption Legislation. 

Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the Trustees and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. 

We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from irregularities, including fraud, to be within the override of controls by management. Our audit procedures to respond to these risks included enquiries of management, the Audit & Risk Committee about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, sample testing on the posting of journals, reviewing accounting estimates for biases, reviewing regulatory correspondence with the Charity Commission, and reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance. 

Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations. 

## **Use of our report** 

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body and the charitable company's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
