BROMSGROVE SCHOOL FOUNDATION INDEPENDENT AUDITORS. REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BROMSGROVE SCHOOL FOUNDATION (CONTINUED) Audltorn. fe8pon8lbllltles fortho audll of th• Ilnanclal 8tatem8nt8 Vve have been appoinled as audilor under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevanl regulations made or having effect thereunder. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance al>out whether Ihe financlal statements as a whole are free from rnalerial misslalement, whether due lo fraud or efror. and to issue an Auclitors. Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable asstjrance Is a high level of assurance. but is not a guarantee ihal an audit conducted In accordanc£ wilh ISAS {UK) will always delecl a material misstatement when il exists. Mi5Stalemenls can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in Ihe aggregale, they could reasonably be expected lo Influence the economlc decisions of users taken on the basis ol these financial siatemenls. Irfegularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance wilh laws and regulations. We deslgn procedures in line with our responsibilities. oullined al)ove, to detecl material misS￿leMen1$ in respect of ifregularities, including fraud. The exlent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities. including fraud Is detalled below,, Based on our underslanding of the chafitable company and the environment In which il operates. we identified that the principal risks of non<ompliance wilh laws and regulations related lo charity law. and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have 8 maierial effecl on the linancial stalements, We also corbsidered Ihose laws and regulalions Ihat have a direct Impact on the preparalion of Ihe financial stalements such as th8 Companies Act 2006 and Ihe Charities Acl 2011. Vve evaluated managemenl's incenlives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statemenls (including the risk of override of conlrols). Audit procedures performed by the engagemenl team included.. Inspectin9 coThesp¥Jndence wilh regulalors and tax aulhorilies: Discussions wilh management includlng consideiation of known or suspected Snslances of non-compliance with laws and regulation and fraud., Evaluating management's controls desioned lo prevent and detect Irregularities; Identifying and lesting journals., and Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their accountin9 eslirrwles. Because of Ihe inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect 811 irregularilies, including Ihose leading lo a material misstatement in Ihe financial statements or non-compliance wilh regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance wilh a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions feflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely lo become aware of inslances of non-compliance. The risk is also grealer regarding irregularities occurring due lo fraud ralher than erfor, as fraud involves inlenlional concealmenl, forgery. collusion, omission or misrepresenlalion.
