THE JOSHUA TREE - SUPPORTING FAMILIES AFFECTED BY CHILDHOOD CANCERS {A Company Ilmlled by guarantee) INDEPENDENT AUDITORS, REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE JOSHUA TREE - SUPPORTING FAMILIES AFFECTED BY CHILDHOOD CANCERS (CONTINUED Audftors. responslblllties for the audlt of the financlal statements We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of th8 Charities Act 2011 and r8POrt in accordancé with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial slatemènts as a whole ara fr88 from materfal mlsstalement, whether due lo fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors. report that indudes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high 18vel of assurance, bul is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exlsts. Misstatem8nls can arlse from fraud or eOr and are considered material if, indivldually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expeclgd to influence the economic decisions of userstaken on the basis of these financi81 statements. Irregularlties, includlng fraud, are instanc8s of non-complianc8 With laws and regulatlons. We design procedures In Ilne with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularit'8S, Including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed belovr. The audit team obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks thal arè applicable to the Company and detemiined that th6 most signtficant are those that relate to the reporting framework (FRS 102 and the Companies Act 2006). the Charities Act, SORP, the relevant tax compllance regulallons. employment law. Healih and Safety Regulalions and the EU General Data Protection Regulatlon (GDPR). We understood how lh8 company is complylng with these fram8WOfks by making enquiries of management and those r8sponsible for legal and compliance proc@dures. We also reviewed board mlnutes to identify any recorded instsn¢es of Irregularity or non-compliance that might have a material impact on the financi81 statements. We assessed the susc6ptibility of the company's flnandal statements to rnalerial misstatement. induding how fraud might occur by meeting with key managèment to understand where they considered there was susceptibllity to fraud. Based on our understanding our procedures involved enquiries of management and those charged with governance, manual journal enty lesting, cashbook reviews for largè and unusual items and the challenge of significant accounting estimates used in preparing the financlal statements. Beuse of the inherent Ilmitatlons of an audit, Ihere is a rlsk that we will not detect all irregularitles, Including those leading to a material misslatemenl in the financial stalements or non-compl[an with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance wth a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions refleded in the financial 5tatemenls, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of r-¢Orp1Ian¢O. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud Involves intentional concealment, forgery. collusion. omission or misrepresentation, A further descTlPtion of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www. .or .uklauditorsr ibilities.
