REPORTOF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR TO THE MEMBER5 OF BARNSLEY FC COMMUNITY TRusf UMITED Ow responslbmltles forthe audlt of the finaTrclal Statements Ovr 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 a Report of the Independent Auditor that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a hieh level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAg IUKI will ahvays detect a material misstatement uthen it exists. Misstatements cèn arise from fraud or error and are Considered materral if, individually or in the ag8re8ale, they could reasonabfy be expected to influence the economlt decisrtsns of users taken on the basis of these financial ststements. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irre8ularitles, Irldin6 fra1 is detailed below.. We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the charity and the lThlustry in which it operates, and considered the risk of acts by the tharity that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. We design audit procedures to respond to the risk. recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detectlng onè resultrn8 from eThor, as fraud may involve deliberate conceakn7ent by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations. or through collusion. We focu55ed on laws and re8ulatlons which could give rise to a material mrsstatement in the financial statements, includin8, but not limited to the Charity SORP and UK tax legislation. OUT tests included agreÈin8 the financial statement disclosures to underfying supporting documentation and enquiries with mana8ementWe dSd not Identify any key audit matters relating to irre8ularitles. Including fraud. As in all our audits. we a150 addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, Including testlng journals and evaluatin8 whether there was evidence of bias by the directors that represented a rlsk of materfal misstatement due tofraud. Because of the inherent limltstions of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, Including those leadlng to a rnateri?I misstatemenl In the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. The risk increases the Thre that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transattions refflected in the financial statements. as we will be less likely to become aware of tnstances of non-compliante. The risk is also greater regardlng irre8ul3rities occurrlng due to fraud rather than error, as fraud Involves intentional concealment, forgery. collusion, omission or mlsrepresentation.
