We performed the following specific procedures to gain evidence about compliance with the significant laws and regulations identified above:

Obtaining an understanding of the internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non compliance with laws and regulations;
-
Reviewing the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.
The senior statutory auditor led a discussion with senior members of the engagement team regarding the susceptibility of the group and the parent charitable company's financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur. The areas identified in this discussion were:
-
Manipulation of the financial statements via and management overriding controls.
-
The incorrect recognition of grants resulting in the income being recognised in the incorrect accounting period.
-
The risk that the assumptions adopted in the valuation of the building tangible fixed assets are inappropriate, resulting in an inappropriate valuation being adopted.
These areas were communicated to the other members of the engagement team not present at the discussion.
The procedures we carried out to gain evidence in the above areas included:
-
Performed data analytics on the general ledger against client specific criteria

Obtained third party evidence for a sample of grants, to ensure that it was appropriate to recognise the income in the financial statements in accordance with the principles of the SORP.
