REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF OAKHAM SCHOOL YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2026 Be¢ause of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities. including those leading lo a material misstatement in the fi'nancial ststemenls or non-complian￿ with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial stalemenls. as we will be less likely lo become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due lo fraud rather than error. as fraud involves intentional concealment forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

The Scheme is conlracled-oul of the Slate Scheme. It is not possible in the normal course of events to identify on 8 consistent and reasonable basis the share of underlying assets and liabilities belonging lo individual participating employers. This is because the Scheme is a mulli-employer scheme, where the Scheme assets are co-mingled for investment purposes and benefits are paid from the total Scheme assets. Accordingly, the annual accounting charge represents the employer contributions payable. Contributions of £0 were paid in 2021 (In the five months to January 2019 £158,770 were paid based on a long-term contribution rale of 14.1 %.)
