Audltor's rosponslbSlltles for Iho audlt of the financial slatomènts We have been appointed 8$ auditor under section 144 of ihe Charities Act 20118nd report in accordan¢6 with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. Our objectivès are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether Ihe financial ststements as a whole are free from mat6rial misslatemenl. whether due lo fraud or error, and to issue an auditorfs report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high 16vel of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted In accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstalemenl when it exists. Misstatements can aris8 from fraud or error and are considered malerial if, individually or in the aggregate. they Could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users laken on the basis of these financial statements. The extent lo which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities. indudlng fraud, Is (lelailed below. As part of our plannlng process: - ￿ ènquired of management the systems and controls the trust has in place. the ar888 of the finan￿81 statements Ihal are mostly susceptible lo the TSsk of irregularities and fraud. and wh8th8r there was any known. suspected or alleged fraud. Tho trust did not infoTm us of any known. suspected or alleged fraud. We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulalory frameworks applicable to tha trust. We detemiined Ih8t the following were most relevant to the financial slalements.. Companies Act 2¢)06, FRS 102 & guidance given by Ihe Charity Commission for England & Wales. We considered the incentives and opportunities that exist in the trust. including the exlent of managem8nl bias, which present a pol8ntial for irregularities and fraud to be perpeluated, and tailored our risk assessment accordingly. Using our knowledge of the Irusl, togèther with the discussions held with the trust al th8 planning stage, we fomiad 8 conclusion on the risk of misslalemenl due to irregularities induding fraud and tailored our procedura8 according to this risk assessment. In response to the risk of irregularities and nonthcAJmplianc£ with laws and regulations, including fraud, we designed procedures which included: Enquiry of manag6m8nt and 11)ose tharged gov6m8nce around actual and potential IFtlgation and claims as well as actual. susp6cled and alleged fraud,. - Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged wth govemance.. - Assessing the extent of Compliance with the laws and regulalions considered to have a direct material affect on the financial statements or the operations of the enlity through enquiry and inspection-, Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with 8pplicable laws and regul81ions', Performing audit work over the risk of management bias and ovemde of controls, including testing of joumal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evalualing the business r81ionale of significant transactions outside the nomial course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for indicators of potential bias. There are inherent limitati￿8 in th6 audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transacb'ons. the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-complian￿. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify notr¢ompliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the director3 and other management and the inspeclion of regulatory and legal correspondence, if 8ny. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulling from fraud is higher than one resulling from error. as fraud may involve collusion, forgery. intentional omissions. misrepresaniattons. or the override of inlernal control.
