APASEN l A Company Limited by Guarantee) Ind8pendent Audilor's Report to the Directors rustees of Apasen for the year ended 31 March 2024 Auditor's responslbilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reagonable assurance 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 misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Irregularits'e5, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. Our pr0dUreS, designed to detect significant irregularities, including fraud, are detailed below.. We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the charitable company and determined the extent of any areas of non- compliance, and their effect on the financial statements, and our audit opinion. We considered provisions of laws and regulations that don't have a direct effect on the financial statements, but where compliance might be fundamental to the charitable company's ability to avoid a material penalty Wè communicated with those charged with govemance, in order to understand whether there were any events that could affect the operational activities of the organisation, or any legal or capital obligations, that could require disclosure. We considered the charity's sUSptibIlity to material misstatement and fraud. Our considerations included the risk of management override, risks relating to existence and pay of staff in various service lines, and allocation of expenditure been funds. We a150 reviewed journal adjustments made by management, to ensure that they had rationale. We verified service delivery income to contracts, and checked that incorne recognised, and the associated costs of generating it, and expended in delivery of projects, was appropriately recognised to their correct financial periods. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.or . uk/auditorsres nsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report. ing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit, in accordance wth auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations {irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the les5 likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. We are not responsible for prevénting non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non- compliance with all laws and regulations. 19
