The finan¢ial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland,. In our opinion the financial statements: give a true and fair view of ihe state of the ¢h2rity's affairs as at 5 April 2024 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended. have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland,. have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Ch￿itieS Act 2011, Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with InternationaI Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAS (UK)) and appli¢able law. Our responsibilities under those standards are thrther described in the Auditors, responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in ac¢ordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, in¢luding the FRCS Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basts for our opinion. Collclusions relating to goillg concern In auditing the fmancial statements, we have concluded that the trustees, use of the going ¢on¢¢rn b&8is of accounting in the preparation of the fmancial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions thaL individually or collectively, may cast $i￿1ficant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concem for a period of at least twelve months from when the financtal statements are authorised for issue. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with r¢spe¢t to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. Other illfonnAtiOD The trnstees are ￿SponSible for the other information. The other infomlation comprises the infonnation included in the Annual Repo￿ other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon. Our opinion on the finallc1￿ statements does not cover the other infonnation and. except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any fomi of assurance Conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other inforniation and. in doing so, consider whether the oth¢r infomiation is materially inconsistent with the fmancial ststements or our knowledge obtsined in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have perfotThed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other inforniation, w¢ are required to report that fact. We have nothing tr) report in this regard. Matters on wbich we are required to report by exception We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: the inforniation giv¢n in the Report of the Trt￿te¢s is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial ststements. or sufficient accounting records hav¢ not been kept. or the financial sL2tements are not in agreement with the accounting re¢ords and return5; or we have not received all the inforniation and explanations we require for our audit.

Report of the Independent Auditors ¢0 the Trustees ol Tbe Buffini Chao Found#tioll R&sponsibilities of trustees As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees, Responsibilities, the trnstees are responsible for Éhe preparation of the fmancial statements which give a ttue and fair vi¢w, and for such internal control &8 the tn￿leeS detennine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatemenL whether due to fraud or e￿or. In preparing the financial statements, the tn￿tee$ are responsibl¢ for assessing Ihe Charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, &8 applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going ¢oncern basis of accounting unless the tnjstees either intend to liquidate the charity or to ¢e&se operations. or have no realisti¢ alternative but to do Our responsibilitie$ for the audit of the fillaneial statsmellts We have been appointed as auditors under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. Our objectives are to obtain re￿onable assurance about wheth¢r the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstaternent. whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable &ssurdnce is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit Conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material mi5ststement when it exists. Misstatements can ￿]se fiDm fraud or error 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 these fmancial statements. The extent to which our procedures are ￿Pable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks appIl￿ble to the charity and the sector in which they operat¢. We detennined that the following were most significant: the Charities A¢t 2011. - We obtsined an understanding of how the ¢harity is complying with those legal and regulatory frameworks by making Inquiries of the management of the charity. We wm)borated our inquiries thmugh our r¢view of cotTespond¢n¢e during our audit work. - We &8sessed the sus¢eptibility of the charity's fmancial statements to material misstatement. including how fraud might occur. Audit procedures perfornied included: - identifying and assessing the design effectiveness of controls management has in place to prevent and detect fraud. - understanding how those charged with governance considered and addressed the potential for override of controls or other inappropriate influence over the financial reporting process. - challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in its significant accounting estimates. - identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any joumal entries p)sted with unusual a¢count combinations. and Because of the inherent limitations of an audiL there is a risk that we will not detect all l￿egUlarlties, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliarA¢e with regulation. This risk increases the more that complian¢e with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transadions reflected in the financial statements, &8 we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk ts also greater regarding irregularities o¢¢urring due to fraud rather than eTror, as fraud involves intentional concealmenL forgery, ¢ollusion, omission or misrepresentation. A fi]rther description of our responsibilities for th¢ audit of the financial statements is located on the Finan¢ial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description fornis part of our Report of the Independent Auditors. Page 6
