Our responsibility is to read the other informalion and. in doing so. consider whether the other information is malerialty inconsistent wilh the finanual statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or olhernise appears lo be materially misstaled. If we Klenlify such material inconsistencies or apparent material mis5talernents. we are requiied to detemiine whether this gives rise lo a material misstalement in the financial slalemenls themselves. If. based on the work we have performed. we conclude that there is a material misslatement of this other information. we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this ward.

Auditorfs responsibilltles for the audtt of the financial statements We have been appointed as auditor under the Companies Act 20C6 and report in accordance with the Acts and revant regulations made or having effect thereunder. Our objectives are lo obtain reasonable assuran about whether the financial slalements as a whole are free from material misstatement. whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditorfs report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurnnce is a high level of assurance, bul is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will afvlays detect a material misstatementwhen it exists. Misstslements can arise from fraud or error and are considered maleiial if. individually or in the aggregate, Ihey could reasonably be expected lo Influen the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial slalements. Details of the exlenl to which the audrt was eonsidered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulalions are sel out belcmr. 10
A further descript of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is IcKaled on Ihe Financial Reporting Council's website al.. www frc.or .uklauditorsres nsibililies. This description fomis part of our auditor's reporL Extsnt to which the audit was considered Capable of detecting irregularities. Includlng fraud Irregularities. including fraud. are instances of non-complon¢e with laws and regulations. identified and assessed the risks of material misslalemenl of the finanual ststemenls from irregularitie5, whether due to fraud or error, and discussed these beeen our audit team members. We then designed and performed audit produreS responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence sufficient and appropllale to provide a basis for our opinion. We obtained an (tnderstanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the cl)arilable company operates, focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the delerminalion of material amounts and disdosures in the financial slatemenls. The laws and regulations we considered in this context were the Companies Act 2006. Charities Act 2011 and Charilies SORP IFRS 10212019. We assessed the required compliance wilh these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the related financaal statement items. In addition. we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direci effect on the financial stslements but compliance with whth might be fundamental to the charitable company's ability lo operate or to avoid a material penalty- INe also consh4ered the opwrtunilies and incenlNes that may exist wrthin the charity for fraud. We identified the greatest risk of material impacl on the financial statements from irregularilie5, including fraud. lo be the override of controls by management. Our audit predre$ lo respond lo these risks included enquiries of management about their own identrficalion and assessment of the risks of irregularities. sample lesling on the posting of joumals. reviewing accounting eslimales for biases. reviewing regulatory correspondence including that with the Charity Commiss*)n and reading minutes of meetings of those Charged with govemance. Owing lo the inherent limitations of an audit. there 15 an unavopyable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial stalemenls. even though we have propedy planned and perfomied our audit in accordance wrth auditing standards. For example, the further removed non- compliance with law5 and regulations lirregukritiesl is from the events and Iransact¢ons reflected in the financial stalemenls. the less likety the inherenlty limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit. there remained a higher risk of non-delects'on of irregularities. as these may involve collus¢on. forgery. intentional omission5. mi5represenlalions, or the override of internal Controls. We are not sponsible for pieventing non-compliance and cannot be expected lo delect non-complian with all laws and regulats'ons. These inherent limitations are parlicularty swJnfficanl in the ease of misslalemenl resurting from fraud as Ihis may involve sophi51icaled schemes designed to avoid detectTon. including deliberate failure lo record Iransaclrons. collusion or the provision of intentional miSrepsen¢l9ns.
