Acts and ral8vanl regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtsin reasonable assu￿￿(e about whether the financial stalemgnls as a whole
are free from material misslalemenl, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always detect a material misststemenl when il exists.
Misslalemenls can arise from fraud or error and are conSide￿d material if. individually or in thè
aggregate, they eould ￿asOnab￿ be expeded to influence the economic decisions of users taken on
the basis of these financial statements.
Details of the extent to which the audit was considered capable of dete￿Ing irregularities. including
fraud and non<ompliance with laws and regulations are set out below.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial slat8m&nls is located on the
F#iancial Reporting Council'swebstte al.. www.frc.or
.uklauditorsres
nsibilities. This description forms
part of our auditorfs reporL
Extant to whlch the audit wa$ consider¢d capable of dotectlng Irregularrtios, including fraud
Irr8gularities, including fraud, are instances of non-¢ompliance wfEh law$ and regulations. We identified
and assegsed the (isks of material misslatemenl of th8 financial statements from irregularities, whether
du& to fraud or error. and discussed these between our audit team members. We then designed and
perform8d aud(t procedures responsive lo those risks, including obtaining audit evidence $ufficient and
appropriate lo provide a basis for our opinion.
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks wf(hin which the ¢harilable
company operates. foeusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination
of material amounts and diselosure8 in the financial slatemenls. The laws and regulations we
onsidered in this contexiwere the Companies Act 2006, Charities Aci 2011 and Charities SORP {FRS
10212019. We assessed the required compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit
procedures on Ihe related financial statemènt r(ems.
In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on
the financial slalements but compliance with which might be fundamental to the Gh?rl£able wmpany's
abilty to operate or to avoid a material pènaty. We also considered the opportunities and in￿nt￿eS
that may exist wrthin Ihe charity for fraud.
We identrfied the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from irregulatities. including
fraud, to be the override of controls by management. Our audit procedures to respond to these risk8
included enquiries of management about their own idenlrfication and assessment of the risks of
irregulanties, sample testing on the posting of journals, reviewing accounting eslimales for biases,
reviewing regulatory correspondence including that with the Chanty Commission and reading minutes
of meetings of those charged with govemanee.
Owing to the inherent limrtations of an audit, there is an un8VOKlable risk that we may not have detected
some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have property planned and
performed our audi( in accordance with audf(ing standards. For example, the further removed non-
omplianee with laws and regulations lirregularttiesl is from the events and tran5aGtions reflected in the
financial sta18m8nts, the les5 likely the Illherent￿ limited procedures required by auditing standards
would identtfy r(. In addition, as wf(h any audit. the￿ remained a higher risk of non4election of
irregularities. as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissi)ns, misrepresentations, or the
override of inlemal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be
expected lo delecl non-compliance wth all laws and regulations.
Thes8 inherent limitations are particulady significant in the case of misstslement resutting from fraud
as this may involve sophisticated schemes designed lo avoid detection, including deliberate failure to
reeord transactions, collusion or the provision of intentional misrepresentations.
