We are independent of the charity accordance wllh the elhical requirements that are relevant lo our audit of the financial slalemenls in the UK, including the FRC'S Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. Vve believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate lo provide a basis for our opinion. Concluslons relatlng to golng concern In auditing the financial slalements, we have concluded that the Iruslees, use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparallon of the financial slalements is appropriate. Based on Ihe work we have performed, we have not identified any mateTial uncertainties relalir¢g to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may casl significant doubt on the charity's abilily to continue as a going concern for a period of al least twelve months from when the financial slaleTllents are authorised for issue.

The other infoTmalion comprises the information included in the Annual Reporl, olher than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors Ihereon, Our opinion on the flnanclal sla18m8nls does not Cover Ihe other Information and, except lo the exlènl othe￿iSe explicitly slated in our report, we do r¢ol express any form of assurance conclusion Ihereon.

Page 6 Re orl of the Inde ndenl Auditors to the Trustees of The Keith Howard Foundation Responsiblllties of trustees As explained more fully in the Slalemenl ol Trustees, Responsibilities, the Iruslees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which give a true and fair view. and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary lo enable the preparation ol financial slalemenls that are free from malertal misslalemenl, whether due lo fraud or error. In preparing the financial slalements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ablllly lo continuo as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, mallers related lo going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend lo liquidale the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative bul lo do so, Page 7 Re orl of the Inde endenl Auditors lo the Trustees ol The Keith Howard Foundation Our rasponslbllltles for the audlt of the flnanclal statements We have been appointed as auditors under Section 144 of the Charllles Act 2011 and report in accordance wilh the Act and relevant regulations made or having eflecl Ihereunder. Our objectives are lo obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misslalemenl, whelheT due lo fraud or erfor, and to Issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that in¢lLfdès our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guaranlee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always delecl a material misslalemenl when il exists. Misslalemenls can arise from fraud or error and are considered malerial if, individually or in the aggregale, they could reasonab5y be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis ol thes8 financial slalements. The exlenl lo which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularilie5, including fraud is detailed below.. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above. lo delect malerial misstalemenls in respect of irregularities, includlng Iraud. Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of maleTlal misslalement in respect of irregularities, Including fraud and non-compliancè wlh laws and regulations, was as follows.. Ihe engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills lo identify or recognise noii-compliance with applicable laws and regulations., we identified the laws and regulations applicable lo the charity through discussions with Iruslees and other management,, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the charity sector we f(￿uSed on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operalions ol the charily, including the Companies Act 2006, laxalion legislation and data protection, ar)li-bribery, employment and health and safely legislation., we assessed the exlenl of compliance wlh laws and regkjlalions identified above through making enquiries of management,. and identified laws and re9ulalions were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert lo instances of non-compliance throughout the audit We assessed the susceptibility of the charity's financial statements lo misslalemenl, Including obtaining an understa￿dIng of how fraud might occur, by.. making enquiries ol management as lo where they considered there was susceptibility lo fraud, their knowledge of actual. suspected and alleged fraud., onslderlng the internal controls in place lo mitigate risks ol fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations., and understanding the design ol the charity's remuneration policies. To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, including the impact on revenue recognition, we.. performed analytical procedures lo identify any unusual or unexpected relationships. 1851ed journal entries lo identify unusual Iransaclions., assessed wheth8r judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates set out in note 3 were indicative ol potential bias.. and investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual Iransaclions,. and In response lo the risk ol Irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited lo.. agreeing financial slalemenl disclosure lo underlying supporting documenlalion,. reading the minutes ol meetings of the Iruslees., and enquiring of management as to actual and potential liligalion and claims There are ir)herent limilalions in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transa¢lions, Ihe less likely it is that we would become aware. of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required lo Identify non-compliance with laws and regulations lo enquiry of the trustees and other management and the inspeGlion of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. P2ge 8 Re ort of the Inde endenl Auditors to the Trustees of The Keith Howard Foundation Material mi5slalemenls that arise due lo fraud can be harder lo delecl than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion A fuilhei description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial slalemenls is located on the Financial Reporting Council's w8bsi18 al www.frc.org.uklaudilorsresponsibililies.
