Basi5 for opinion
We conducted our audit ill <tccordance with tniernational StarLdard5 on Auditing (UK) {ISAs OJK)) and
applicable law. Our responsibilities under those st&ndards are further described in the Auditor's respon4ibilitiCS
for tbe audit of the financi(1151aiements section ot our report. We are independent of the group wid parent
charity in accordan¢¢ with the ethical requinnents that are relevant to our audit of the fjnancial statements in
the UK, including th¢ FRC'S Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethi&il resy)nsibilities ti)
ccordance with th¢s¢ requirements. We believe that the audit ¢vidence we have obtained is sufficient ind
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

RespoTrsibilities of tn15tees As explained more fully in the trustees. responsibilities statsmenL the tNstees are responsible for the preparation of the finoncial statements and for being satisfied that they give a iN¢ and fair view, and for such iternal eolltrol as the trust¢¢s detErniine is nccess8ry to enable the preparation of financial ststements that are free frorn material misstaten]¢n( wh¥ther due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial stat¢m¢nls, the twstees are responsible for assessing the group and parent charity's ability to continue a5 a going disclosing, as applicable. matters related to going cotlcem and using the going concern basis of acc4)unting unle&b the trnstees either intend to liquidate the wup or the parent charity or to c&ise operations, or have no r¢alibtic alternativc but to do so. Auditor responsibllities for the gudlt orthe fJnanci21 statements We have been appointed as audiloi. under section 151 of the Charities Act 2011 report ill accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that A¢t. Our objectives are to obtain reason&ible assurance about whether the financial slaten]ents as a whole arc frf from aterIal misstatement, whether due to fiiud or etyor. and to issue an auditor's report that in¢lude8 our oPi10n. Reasonable assuranG¢ is a higb level of ranCe, but is not a guarantee that all audit conducted ih) accordance with ISAS (UK) will dlways detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are ron¥id¢rEd material if, individually or in the aggregat¢, they could reasonably bc expected tr) influence the e¢onomic decisions of uscrs taken on the basis of these fllmncial Statements. IegularitIeS, including fraul are iDStances of non-compliance with laws and T¢gulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibiliti¢5, Uutlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularitics. including fraud. The extent to whibh our procedures are capable of detecting ]e8VIarit]ES. including fi'aud is detailed below.. DiscU10nS with management, including consideration of known or suspected instsnces of non-cornpliance with laws and Yegulations and fiaud. and • IdeDtifyAng and testing 5ignifiLdDI manual Journ entries and reviewing a&sumptions and judgements made by management in making significwil &couDting cstinydtes. Because of the inherent limitation5 of an audiL there is a risk that we will not defrd all ]egUlaritIeS, including those leading to a malerial Tnisslatement in the financial statements or non-roJnpliance with regulation. Thi8 risk increases the more that ¢omplidnEe with a law or regulation is removed fro the events and trans&ctions reflected in the financial statements. as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is tho rater regarding itregularities occuning due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves inteDtional concealment. forgery, collusion, OmiSSlOA or misrepresentation. As part of an audit in aw)Tdance wsth ISAS (UK}, we exercise profrssional judgement and n]aintr4i profcssitrnal scepticlsm throughout the audit. We also.. . Identify and assess th¢ Tisks of matei'ial mi>atement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or ¢Tror. design and perforni audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appiopriate to provide a basi5 for our opinion. The risk of not deiecling a material mi55tatement resulting frovn fraud is higher than for (klle Tesulting from error, as fraud may involve Collusio forgery> intentional omiysions, isrepresentations, or th¢ override of int£rnal control.

Safar Academy Trust Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 August 2023 A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the charity. Corntrol is achieved where the charity h&s the power to govern the f]nancial and operating policies of an entity $0 18 to obtain benefits from its aclivities. The regults of subsidiaries acquired OK dispos¢d of during the year are included in the statement of financial actsvitiel from the effective date of acquisition Or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. Where necessary. adjusiments are made to the fillan¢i Statemernts of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies inÉo line with those used by the group. The purdmse method of a¢¢ountiThg is used Éo ac¢oullt for business eornbina(ions that result in the acquisition of suh8idiarics by the group. The cost of a business ¢ombination is measuied as the fair value of the assets give eqllity instNments issued alld liabilities inourred or a55umed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the business combination. Id¢ntifiable 41ssetS acquid and liabilities and conttngent liabililies a&8llmcd in a business Combination are measured initially at their f&iir values at the acquisition date. Any excess of thc eost of the business combination over the a¢quiTEr's interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities tnd contingent liabilities recognised is Tord¢d &8 guudwill. Intcr-company transactions, balances and UTw¢alis¢d gains on transactions between the charity and its subsidiories, which are related parties, are eliminated in full. Intra-grollp losses are also eliminated but may indicate an impainnent ti]at requir65 recognition in the cons0lidat¢d fitRncial statements. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have be¢n changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group. Non-controlling int¢rKts in ihe nti assets of cnsOlidated subsidiaties are identified separately from the group's equity therein. Non-wntrolling interests consisl of the amount ot those interests al thc date of the original business combination and the non-colltrolling shareholder's shatt of changes in equity since the date of the combination.
