The Pets at Home Foundation INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE PETS AT HOME FOUNDATION (CONTINUED) 52 week period ended 30 March 2023 Extent to which the audit W85 considered capable of detecliDg Irrtgularitie4 In¢ludiMg frnud (continued) In addition. we cottsidered provisions of other law5 and regulations that do not have a direct eff￿t on the f￿an¢tal sraiements but compliance with which mighi be fijndamencal io the thariry's ability to operate or io avoid a maierial penalty. We a150 considered the opportunities and inc¢ntive5 that may exist within the charity for fraud. The laws and regulations we considered in thi5 context for the UK operation5 were the Fundraising Regulations and the Gambling Commissiott Regulations. Audiiing standards limit the requited audit procedures to ideniify non-cornpliance with these law5 and regulations to enquiry of the Tn￿lee$ and other illanagement and inspection of regulatory and le8ai coTresponden¢e, if any. We identified the grraiest risk of tnaterial impa¢1 on the fJnan¢ial statements from irre8ulariti¢S. including fraud, to be within th¢ override of controls by management. Our audit procedur¢5 to respond to these risks included enquirtes of managemeni, Sample iesiing on the posting ofjournals, reviewing accounting estimate5 for biase5, reviewing regulatory correspondence with the Charity Commission and reading minutes of meetings of those charged with goyernance. Owing ro the inherettt limitations of an audiL there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some maieraal misstsiements in the rtnan¢ial statements, even though we have properly planned and perfornied our audit in accordance with auditing stsndards. For example, the fiffther removed non- compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is froTn the events and transactions reflected iti the financial statements, the les5 likely the inherenily limited pr(￿edureS required by auditing standards would identify ii. In aildition. ￿ with any audiL there remained a higher risk of non4lerection of irresularitle5, as these may involve collusion. forgery. inieniional omissions, misrepresentations. or th¢ override of internal ontro15.
