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.
Be￿use 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￿￿-¢Or￿p1Ian¢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,
