they give a Inje and fair view. and for such int81nal ¢ontrol as the trustees determine Is
necessary to enable the preparallon of financial sl8lemgnts thal are Ifae from material
misslalement, whether due to fraud or error.
In pr8paring the financial slalements, the Iruslees are responsible for 8sse55ing the charitab16
company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to
golng concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Iru81ee5 elther

alternative but to do so.
Audltor'• R•8pon•lbllttl•8 for th• audlt of th• flnanclal 8t•temonts
Our oblectlves ar8 to oblaln reasonabl8 assurance about whether the financial $t2tem8n18 as
8 wholg ar8 free from malerl81 misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to Issue an
audilor's report Ihal Includes our oplnlon. Reasonable a6surance Is a high level of 35surance,
bul is not a gbaranlee that an audit conducted In ac￿rdanCe wlth ISAS (UK) will always detect
a material mis$latem8nt wh8n it 8xlsl8.
Misslalem8nts can adse Irom fraud or error and are constdered m8lerial ff. individually or In
8ggregale. they could reasonably be expected to Influence the economic decisions of u88rs
taken on the basls of these financbal slalements.
As part of an audll In accordance w51h ISAS {UK) we exerase profe88lonal judg&ment and
maintain FYof8ssional 8cepticism throughout the audil. We al80'.
IdentNy and assess tho r18ks of mat8rlal mls61alamenl of the financlal stalemenls,
whether due to fraud or error. deslgn and perform audit proceduras responslve to Ihoso
risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and approprlate lo provlde a basls for
our opinion. The risk of not detecting a rnaleTlal misstatement r85ulting from fraud Is
higher than for one tesulting from error, as fraud may
involve collusion, forgery, Intentlonal omisslon8, m18representallon8, or th8 overrldo 01
intemal control.
Obtain an understanding of Intern81 control relevant lo th8 8udit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in th8 circumstances, bul not for the purposes of
expressing an opinion on the effecliveness of Ihe charitable company's intemal control.
Evalvate the approprial8ne88 of accountlng pollcles used and the raasonab19n8ss of
accounting estimat6$ and related disclosures made by the Iruslees.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees, use of the going concern basis of
ac￿UntIng and, based on the audit evidenco obtained. whether a materi81 uncertainly
exists related to events or conditions thal may cast significant doubt on the charitable
¢ompany's ability to continue as a golng concern. If we concludg th81 a rnalerial

our opinion. Our concluslons are based on the audlt evlden¢e oblalned up to the datg
of our auditor's report. However, future events or ¢ondition8 may cause the chanlable
company to cease to continu8 as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation. 8truclure and content of the flnan¢ial 5taiements,
including the disclosuffjs, and whether thè finand81 8tstem8nts represent the
underlying tiansoGtions and events In a manner that achi8ves fair presentation.
We communlcate with Ihose charged with govemance regarding, among other matters, Ihe
plann8d scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any slgnificant
deficiencies in intem81 control that we Identify during our audit.

deslgn procedures In Ilne wllh our responslbllltles, outlinad above, lo detect material

are capabl8 of d8t8ctlng Irregularitl8s. Sncludlng fraud Is de1811ed below.
'rhe oblectiV8s of our audit in resp8Ct ol fraud. are., to idenllfy and assess th8 rlsks of material

evldence regarding the assessed rlsks of material misslalement du8 to fraud, through
de51gning and impl8m8rsling appropriate responses to those 86Gessed risks; and to respond
appropriately io instances of fraud or suspected fraud Identlfled during the audit. However, the
primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud reBt8 wlth both m8nagement
arKI those charged wilh govem8n¢a of the charltable company.
Our 8pproach was as follows;
We obtsin8d an understandin9 of ih818g81 and rogulatory requlrements applicabla to
the charitable company and considered Ihat the most sSgnificant are the Companles
Act 2006. the Charities Act 2011, the Charity SORP, UK financial reporting standards
as Issued by the Flnancial R8POrting Council and UK taxation legislation.
We obtained an under8tandSng of how the charlt8bl8 company compl588 wlth the88
requlrements by dlscussions with management and those charged wlth govémance.
We assessed the risk of malerial mi88tatement of the financial stalaments, Indu¢Jing
the risk of material rni551atement due to Iraud and how il might occur, by holding
di$cussi(Jns with management and those charged with govemance.
We Inqui￿￿ of managemenl and those th8rg8d wllh gov8rnancé as to any known

Based on this understanding, we designed speclfic appropriate audit proGedures to
