REPORT OF THE INDF.PF.NDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
TEES RIVERS CHARITABLE TRUST
To address the risk of fraud through mana8etllent bia5 and ovetride ofcontro15. we..
- perform¢d analytical procedures to identify any iinusual or unexpe¢t¢d r¢lationship5,'
tested journal entries to identify unusual Irdnsactions-
- assessed whether jiidg¢ments a￿1 a5511mptions made in det¢fmining any ac¢ountitYd estimates were indicative of
potential bias.
inv¢sti8ated the rationale behirtd signifjcant or unus1￿1 trallsa¢ti0￿s.
In response ￿ th¢ risk of irregularitir$ ènd [￿n-complia￿e with laws and regulation4 we d¢sigThed pm¢edures which

- ￿adIE}g minutes of rneetings of those char8ed with govetnante.
enquiring of maThg8emellt as to actual and potential litigation claims.
- reviewing rorre$pondence with HMEiC and the company's legal adviser5.
Through these pmceduTt4 Ive did not becorne aware of a¢bJa] orsttspected non-complianc
We planned and performed our aiidit in a¢wrdanee ivith auditing StsndaTds but owingto the inherent limitations of
proce<lures required in these areas. tbeT¢ is an unavoidable risk that we may noi have detected a material niisstatement
ill the accouTrts. The further retThived non-¢omplian¢e i¥ith and regulalions is from the events and Iransactians
reflE¢ted in the financial statement4 the less likely we ivould be¢ome aware of it. The risk of not detecting a material
misstatement due to frdud is higheT than ihe risk of rK)i detecting one resllliing from error, as frdud may involve
concealment, Collusion, forgery. mi5representa(ions, or override of internal ¢ontrnls. We are not responsible for
preventing non-cotnplsance and cannot be expected to dewi non-compli&nce with all laws and re8ulatioTrs.
