However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and deteciion of fraud rests with both management and those charged with governance of the charitable company.

We assessed the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements. including the iisk of material misstatement due to fraud and how it might ¢xcur. by holding discussions with management and those charged with governance.
