INDEPENDENT AUDrroRS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SHREWSBURY TOWN FOOTBALL CLUB
FOUNDATION (co￿nNUED>
Auditors. respon8lbilities for the audlt of Ihe financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor 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 reasonable assuran￿ about whether the financial statements as a whole ar8 free
from material misstatement. whether due to fraud or error. a￿1 to issue an Auditors. repcyt that inC￿deS our
opinion. Reasonable assuran￿ is a high level of assurance. but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with ISAS (UK) will always deted a material misstatement when it exists. MISState￿Ents can arise
from fraud or error and are considered material rf, individually or in the aggregate. they could reasonably be -
expected to influence Ihe er￿￿MiC decisK>ns of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities. including fraud, are instanc8s of non-compThance with laws and regulations. We design
pn)cedures in line with our responsibilities. outlined above. to detect material misstatements in respect of
irr8gularilies, Including fraud. The extent to vthi¢h our PrO￿dUreS are capable of detécting irregularities,
indudlng fraud is detailed below:
We reviewed the susc8Ptlblllty of the charitable companys fiftanclal statem8nts to material misstatsment
and identified the principal risks. impl8m8nting a serles of testing procedures to provide us with sufficient
comfort Io i8sue our oplnion.
We reviewed the charitable companys regulatory envlronment to ensure could conclude that it had
act8d in accordan￿ with the framework relevant to the Charitable company and its environment and
Identrfy any instances of non4ompliance.
W6 also assessed the charitable company's intemal control proc8dures to ensure we could appropriat8ly
scrutlnise these wntrols and 8Stablish wh8ther our understanding of the control environment was
sufficient to supplement our addrtional testlro procedures.
The 8ngagement t8am consisted of a team that the engagement partner be￿eVeS is equipp8d with the
r818vant level of technlcal and charitable company awareness to carry out our work to the requlred
8taTrJard.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit th8re is a risk that we will not detect all itregularities, including
those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This
risk increases the more that compliance wth a law or regulation is removed from the events and trdnsactions
rèflected in the financial statements. as V￿ will be less likely to become aware of instsnces of nonwcomplianee.
The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves
intentional COn￿almon( forgery. ￿)llUSIon. omission or misr8presentation.
A further description of i)ur responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial
Reporting Counal's website at: www.frG.

In the applicatlon of the Charftys accounting polrci8S, the trustees are required to make Judgements,
8Stimates and assumptions about the &grrying amount of assets and liabilities Ihat are readily apparent
from other sourc£s. The 8stimat8s and assodated assumptions are bas8d on hlstorical experfen￿ and
other factors that ar8 considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estlmates and undedying assumptions are revlewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting
estimates are recognised in the period which the estimate is revised where the rovision affects only that
period, or in the périod of the revision arKI future periods where the revision affects both current and
fvture periods.
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions:
The Charity makes estimates and assumptions conc8ming the future. The resulting accounting 8stimates
and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. Ther8 ar8 no eslimates and
assumptlons that hav8 a slgnfficant rlsk of causing a material adjustment to the Ganyng amounts of
assets and liabililies withln the next financial year.
