Reswves policy Having regard to the ¢harty's endowment based Income; the reser4es to Cover fluctuations in donations are not required. Instead the charity's investment policy plans for fluctuations in inrne and capital growth and the need for funds to meet on-going commitments of th8 charity during p8riods of low dividend yiald and nil or n8gative capttal growth.

Responsibilities of Trustee As explained more fully In the statement of trustees. responsiblllties. the Trustees, who are also the directors of th8 Charity for the purpose of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such intemal control as the Trustees determine is ne$sary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misststement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financlal stalemenls, the Twstees are responsible for assessing the Charity's abilty to continue as a going concern, disdosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concem basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic altematbve but to do so. Audltorfs responslbllltlos for tho audlt of the flnanclal statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misslatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to i$SU8 an auditols r8POrt that in¢lud8s our opinion. Reasonable assurance Is a high level of assurance but is not a guarante8 that an audit Gonducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will aayS detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or eOr and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic de¢isions of users taken on the basis of thèse financial statements. Irregularities, including fraud, are InStanS of nonwcompliance with laws and regulations. We design ProdureS in line with our responsibilities, outlined above. to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularilies, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of d8lecting irr8gularities, including fraud, is detai18d b8k)w'. the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate compelen¢e, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non4omplian¢e wilh applicable laws and regulations,. we id8ntifi8d th8 laws and r8gulations applicable to the company through discussions with trustees and other management, and from our knowledge and experience: we focused on specific laws and regulatlons whlch we consldered may have a dlrect materlal effect on the financial slatements or the operations of the d)arttable company, including the terms of grant agreements and Charity Commission regulation. we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and gUlationS identified above through making enqulrles of management and Inspe¢tlng legal ¢orresponden¢e where applicable; and identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.
KHODORKOVSKY FOUNDATION INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE MEMBERS OF KHODORKOVSKY FOUNDATION We assessed the susceptibility of the ¢ompany's fnancial statements to materlal mlsstatement, induding obtaining an understsnding of how fraud migm occur, by.. making enquiri8s of management as to where they considered there was su5ceptibiliiy to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud., and ¢onsidering the intemal contrcls in Flace to mitlgate rlsks of fraud and noTrcomplIar with laws and r8gulations. To add$$ the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, w8: performed analyti¢al procedures to identrfy any unusual or unexpected relationships. t8sted ioumal errtri to identify unusual transactions; assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in deteinIng the accounting estimates were Indicatlve of potentlal bias; and investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions. In response to the risk of irregularilies and non-complianee with laws and regulallons, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to.. agreeing financial statement disclosu$ to underlying supporting documentation: leading the minutes of meetlngs of those Charged with governance,. enquiring of management as to actual and potentlal Iltlgallon and claims; reviewing correspondence with the Charity Commission and the company's legal advisers. and reviewing the terms of grant agreements There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures describ8d above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transadlons, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing stsndards also limit the audit procedures required to Identlfy n0CoMplIance with laws and regulations to enquiry of th8 directors and oth8r management and the inspection of regulatory and legal cOespOndence, rf any. Material misstatements that arlse due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
