We have been appointed as auditor under $6cth)n 151 of the Charlties Act 2011 and report In accordance with

Our objectlves are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free

oplnlon. Reasonable assurance Is a high level of assurance, but Is not a guarantee that an audlt conducted In
accordance with ISAS (UK) wlll alwa￿ detect a materlal misstatement when It exlsts. Misstatements can arise
from fraud or error and are considered material if, indlv1dua1￿ or In the aggregale, they could reasonably be
expected to inffluence the economic de¢lslons of users taken on the basbs of these financial statements.
Irregularities. Including fraud, are instances of non<ompliance with laws and regulations. We design proce(lures
in line wlth our responsibilities. outlined above. to detect materfal mls8tatements Sn respect of Irregularltles,
includlng fraud. The extent to which our pr¢¢edures arè ¢ap8blo of detectln9 Irregularltles, Including fraud is
detailed b810w:
Based on our understsnding ¢f the charitable company and Industy, we Idenlifiod the key laws and regulations
aff8Ctlng the charftablo Company. We Identffied that the prfncipal rlsk of fraud or non-compliance wlth lavK and
regulatlons relatad to:
management blas In respect of accounting ostlmates aThl judgements made:
management overfde of Gontrol;
postlng of unusual Joumals or transactions.
We focus8ed on those area8 that could glve rlse lo a malerial mls8tat¢mant In tho Societys financlal ststements.
Our procedures Induded, but were not limlted to:
enquiry of management and those d)arged wlth gov8mance around actual and potential liiigatlon and
claims, including instances of non-compliance wlth laws and regulations and fraud;
revlewing mlnutes of m8etlngs of those charged wlth governance whero available;
reVIe￿ng legal expenditura In the year to Identify Instances of nonwcompllance wrth18w8 and regulatlons and
fraud;
reviewing flnancial ststement disclosures and t¢stlng to 8UPPOrtlng documentatk)n to assess compliance wlth
applicable laws and regulalions
performlng audit work over the rlsk of management overrlde of controls, Including testing of ioumal antri
and other adjustments for approprfatenes5, evaluatlng th8 busln885 rationale of Jignfficant transactlons
outslde tho rrt)rmal course of busln88s and reviewing accountin9 estlmatos for bias.
It Is the primary responsiblllty of manag8ment, thrfth the overslght of those ¢harged wlth govemance. to ensure
that the 8nlitYs operations are conducted in accordance wlth the provislons of laws and regulations and for ltr
prevention and delection of fraud.
Because of the inherent limit8tlons of an audlt, there is 8 risk that W8 wlll not detect all Irregularltles. Includlng
those leading to a material misstatemenl in lh8 financial statements ￿ non-c4mpliance wth regulation. This risk
Increases the more that compliance with a law or regulatlon is removed from the events and transactions
reflected in the finandal statements, as we wlll be less likely to become aware of Instsnce5 of non-compliance.
The rlsk Is also greater regardlng irregularities occurrfng due to fraud rathor than error, as fraud involves
intentlonal concealment, forgery. colluslon, omission or misrepresentation.
