In preparing the financlal statements, the Trust8es are fesponslblé lor assessing the charltable company's abilty to continue as a going concern. disclosing, as applicable. matters relat8d to going concern and using the going concern basis ol accounting unles5 the Truslees erther intsnd to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations. or have no realistic altemative but to do so Audltofs responsibilitles forthe audit olthe financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from matenal misstatement. whelher due to fraud or error. and to issue an Auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, bul is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordancè with ISAS (UK) will akniays delect a material misstatement when it 8xisls.

Irre9ularrf<ies. including fraud. are instances of non-compliance wilh laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities. outlined above. to detect material mi55talements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.. Page15

ONSIDE YOUTH ZONES (Acompany Ilmited by guarantee) INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORTTO THE MEMBERS OF ONSIDE YOUTH ZONES (CONTINUED) We obtained an understanding of the18gal and regulatory trameworks wlthln which the company operates, focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination ol material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The laws and regulations we considered in this context were the Companies Act 2006. Charities Act 2011 and employmenttax legislation. We identified areas of laws and regulalions that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements fiom our sector experience, through discussion with the Directors, and from inspeth'on of the Company's board minutes and legal and regulatory correspondence. We discussed the policies and procedures regarding compliance wrth laws and regulations with the Chief Executive Officer., We assessed the susceptibility of the financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur, by meeting with management from relevant parts of the business to understand where management Considered there was a susceptibility to fraud. We also considered the potential for management to manage earnings and influence the perceptions of the linancial statements. We identified the greatest risk of material impad on the financial statements from irregularities, including fraud, to be the override ol controls by management and complèteness of income through the timing of recognition of income. Audit procedures performed by the engagementteam included.. Evaluation of the design of controls establishéd to address the risks rélated to material irregularrties in the financial statements., testing manual journal entrles, in particular Journal entries relating to management estimates and entries dètèrmined to be large or relating to non-routin8 transactions. Evaluation of income recognrtion policies and any judgements mad& around income recogniti'on,. reviewing the income system for significant deficiencies or susceptibility to fraud.. Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their significant accounting estimates,. Agreement of the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentstion.. Making enquiries ol management.. Review of minutes of board meetings throughoLrt the period,, Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material mlsstatement in the financial statements, recognising that the risk ol not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error. as fraud may involve deliberate eoncealment by. for example, forgery, misrepresentations or through collusion. There are inherent limrtations in the audrt procedures performed and the further removed non<ompliance with laws and regulations is trom the events and transactions reflected in the financial statémenls, the 18ss likely we are to become aware of rt. Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements. even though we have properly planned and performed our audrt in accordance with audrting standards. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance wrth all laws and regulations. These inherant limitations are particulrly significant in the case of misstatement reSu￿lfi9 from fraud as this may involve sophisticated schemes designed to avoid detection, including deliberate failure to record transactions, collusion or the provision ol intentional misrèpresentations.
