Audltors, rgsponslbllllies for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 145 of the ChaTitses Act 2011 and report in accordance with
the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect Ihereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free
from material misslalement. whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an audiloTS' report that includes our
opinion. R9asonable assurance is a high level of assurance, bul is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance wrth ISAS IUKI will always delecl a material misstalemenl when it exists. Misslalements ¢an arise
from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be
expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis ol these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instsnces of non<ompliance with laws and regulations. We design pr(Kedures
in line with our responsibilities, outlined above. lo det￿1 material misstatements in respect of irregularities,
including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable ol dete¢ling irregLblarrties, including fraud is
detailed below..
We have considered the nature of the sector, control environment and financial perf0mlan￿,.
We have considered the results of enquiries with management and Iruslees In relation lo their own
idenlilicalion and assessment of the risk of irregularities within the entity",
We have reviewed the documentstion of key processes and controls and performed walkthroughs of
transactions lo confirm that the systems are operating in line with documenlalion, and
We have considered the maiters discussed among the audit engagement team regarding how and where
fraud might occur in the financial statements and potentsal indicators of fraud.
As a result of these prO￿UreS, we have considered the opportun11ies and incentives that may exist within the
organisalion for fraud and identified the hsghesl area ol risk to be in relation lo revenue recognition, with a
part￿ular risk in relation lo yearend ¢ul off. In common with all audits under ISAS IUKI we are also requi￿￿ to
perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override.
We have also obtained understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the Charity operales in,
focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the delerminats'on of material
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulation5 we considered in this context
included the Charities Act 2011, Charty SORP 2019, FRS 102 and the terms and ¢Dnditions attaching to
material grants received by the Charity.
In additions we considered the provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the
financial 5tstements bul compliance with which may be fundamental lo the ChaTity's ability lo opeTale or avoid
material penalty. These included dats protection regulations, health and safety regulations and empb)yment
legislation.
Our procedures lo respond lo tr)e risk5 idenlffied included the following..
Reviewing the financial slalemenl disclosures and testing to supporting documentation lo assess compliance
with provisions of relevant laws and regulab'ons described as having a direct effect on the financial
statements.,
Performing analytical procedures lo identfy unusual or unexpected relalionships that may indicate risks of
material misstatement due to ftaud.,
Review of board minutes",

members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non<ompliance with laws and regulations throughout
the audit.
As a result of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that not all irregularities. including a material
misststement in the financial 51alements or non<ompliance with laws and regulations, will not be detected by us.
The risk increases the further removed compliance with a law or regulab'on is from the events and transactions

as a result of fraud rather than a one off error, as this may involve intentional concealment, forgery, collusion.
