We also considered the OpportunieS and Incentives that may existwithln the charitable company fof fraud.

Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non4ompliance with these laws and regulallons to 8nquiry of the Trustee5 and other management and Inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. We idenlthed the greatest rfsk of material impact on the financial statements from irregularflles, including fraud, to be within the Ilmlng of recognilion of repairs and malnlenanco expenditure and the overrlde of controls by management. Our audit procedures to respond lo these rlsks Included enquiries of management, Internal audll and the Finance & Risk Committee aboul their own Identification and assessment of the rtsks of irregularities, sample testing on the poslno of joumals. reviewing accounting estimates for biases. revlewing regulatory correspondence with the Charity Commlsslw.

Owing to the inherent Ilmttations of an audit, the is an unavoidable risk that we may nol have detected some material misstatements in the financial ststements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance wllh audib'ng standards.
