REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF PLUMBING & HEATING ENGINEERING Matters on which we are required to report by exceptlon We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion- the information given in the Report of the Trustees is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements. or the charitable company has not kept adequate accounting records, or the flnancial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns. or we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audlt. Responsibilitiès of trustees As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees, Responsiblllties, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and falr view, and for such internal control as the trustees determlne is necessary to enable the preparation of ffinanclèl statement5 that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financlal statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charltable company's ability to continue as a going concem, disclosingi as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Our responslbllltles for the audlt of the financlal statements We have been appointed as auditors under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. Our objectives are to obtain aSOnable 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 Audltors that includes our oplnion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance wlth ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when It exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to Influence the economic decislons of user5 taken on the ba51s of these financial statements. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, Including fraud Is detalled below: Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulJtlons. We design procedures in Ilne with our responslbllities, outlined above, to detect material misslatements i n respect of Irregularities, including fratjd. The extent to whlch our procedures are capable of detecting Irregularities, includiiig fraud is detailed below: We have designed our work to ensure thot laws and regulations have been adhered to, and the transactions undertaken by the Charity ère properly reflected in the financial statements, We designed procedures whlch included, but were not limited to: Agreeing financlal statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation. Enquiring of management as to actual and polential litigation and claims. We have obtained a detailed understanding of the Charity's intemal control systems and we have used the knowledge <Jained to identify any areas of risk of mis-statement or fraud. To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we tested journal entrie5 to identify unusual transactions. Making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, thelr knowledge of actual, suspected, and alleged fraud. Page 16
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF PLUMBING & HEATING ENGINEERING We have evaluated the appmpriateness of accounting policie5 used and the reasonableness of accountlng estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees. We concluded on the appropriateness of the trustees. use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charitable company to cease to continue as a going concern. We communlcate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficlencles in internal control that we Identify during our audit. We have then designed our audit tests in each area to identify whether In respect of the transactlons we have selected for testing the relevant controls have operated as expected. We plan our work specifically to identify any areas where there Is a susceptibility to fraud such as understatement of subscription Income, or material mls-statement such as understatement of subscriptions received in advance, then design tests to mitigate this rlsk. Our work includes a proof In total based on the tlered subscription rates of membershipi and ensuring that the appropriate revenue has been recogni5ed. Because of the Inhent limltatlons of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a materlal mlsstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of Instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud Involves intentional concealment, forgery* collusion, omission or misrepresentation. A further description of our responsibillties for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reportin9 Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditor5responsibilities. This descrlptlon forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.
