RATCLIFFE COLLEGE IA company limited by guarantee) INDEPENDENT AUDITORS. REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF RATCUFFE COLLEGE ICONTINUEDI Auditors. responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are lo 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 Auditors. report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level ol assurance. bul is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always detect a material misslalement when il exists. Misslalemenls can arise from fraud or orror and are considered material if, individually or in the aggrega19, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, lo delecl material misslalemenls in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent lo which our procedures are capable of delecling irregularities, includin9 fraud is detailed below.. We have idenlrfied areas of laws and regulation5 that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our general commercial experience, knowledge of the sector, a review of regulatory and legal correspondence and through discussions with Trustees and other key management obtained as part of the work required by auditing standards, We have also discussed with the Trustees and other key manageTnent the policies and procedures relating lo compliance with law5 and regulations. We communicated laws and regulation5 throughout the team and remained alert to any indications of non compliance throughout the audit. The potential impact of different laws and regulations varies considerably. Firstly, the college is siJbje¢t to laws and regulations thal directly impact the financial slalemenls (for example financial reporting legislation) and we have assessed the extent of compliance wrth such laws as part of our financial slalements audit. We evaluated management's incentives and OPPDrtunilies for fraudulent manipulation of the financial slalemenls lincluding risk of override of controls) and determined that the principal risks were related Ic) management bias in accounting eslimales and judgemenlal areas of the financial statements such as depreciation of pioperty, plant and equipment, the valuation of investment property , the level of provision for bad and doubtful debts, as well as the risk of inappropriate journal entries lo manipulate reported surplusldeficil. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included the identification and lesling of unusual material journal entries and challenging management on key eslimales, assumptions and judgements made in the preparation of the financial slatemenls. We Carried out detailed substantive les15 on material accounting eslimales, including reviewing the method5 and data used by management to make those eslimales, re perfoming the calculation. reviewing the outcome of prior year eslimales and also reviewing the outcome of current year estimates since the financial reporting date. We also reviewed financial slalemenl disclosures and tested these to supporting documenlation to assess compliance with laws and gUlatiOns. and we performed analytical procedures lo identify any unusual or un&xpecl8d relalw)nships that may indicate risks of material misslalemenl due lo fraud. Secondly. the College is subje¢l lo other laws and regulations where the consequence lor non-compliance could have a material effect on the amounts or disclosures in the financial slalemenls. We Idenlrfied the following areas as those most likely lo have such an effect.. Child Welfare and Health and Safety Legislation. inspections by the Independent Schools Inspeclorale, compliance with the Charrtable objectives, public benefrt. fundraising regulations, data protection. employment law and safeguarding. The college is subject to regular internal and external audits lo ensure compliance with these areas. Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures lo identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the Trustees and other key management and inspection. This inspection included a review of the latest available extem81 audits for any evidence of non-¢ompli8nce, reading minutes of meetin95 of those ¢harged with governance, and discu5sion5 with key management. Through these procedures, if we became aware of any non-compliance. we considerecl the impact on the procedures performed on the reialed financial slalement items. Page 24
RATCUFFE COLLEGE IA company lirnited by guaranto91 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS. REPORT TO THE MEM8ERS OF RATCLIFFE COLLEGE {CONTINUEDI Owing lo the inherent limitations of an audit. thore is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misslalemenls in the financial slatenwnls, even though have properly planned and pgrformed our audtt in aOrdanCe w(th auditing standards. The further removed non<ompliance with laws and Tegulalions is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial slalements, the less likely the inherently limited procedure8 required by auditing standards would idenlfy it.
