SOMERVILLE COLLEGE AudIt0S Report Year endgd 31 July 2025 We obtained an understsnding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the charity and group operates. focusing on those laws and regulations that have a dlrecl effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial Statements. The laws and regulations we considered in this context were the Charities Act 2011 together wllh the Charitie$ SORP IFRS 102). We assessed the required compliance with these laws and regulallons a$ part of our audit procedures on the related financial statement ttems. In addition, we considered provis)nS of other laws and regulations that do not have a dire¢l effect on the financial stalements but compliance with which might b8 fundamgntal to the charity's and the group's ability to operate or to avoid 8 material penaky. We also nsIdered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the charity and the group for fraud. The laws and Tegulations we considered in this context for the UK operations were General Data Protsction Regulation. Health and Safety and Taxation legis18ti0n. Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulalions to enquiry of the Tnjstees and other management and inspection of regulatory antj legal correspondence, if any. We identified the greatest risk of m81erial Impact on the financial slatemgnls from irregularities, including fraud, to be within the recognition of income and the override of controls by management. Our audit procedures lo respond to these risks included enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularftles, sample testing on the posb'ng of journals, reviewng accounting estimates for biases, sample testing of income transactions to supporting documentation and reading minutes of meetings of those charged with govemanee. ing to the inherenl limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstalomenls in the financial statements. even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordanc8 with auditing stsndards. For example, tha further removed non- compliance with laws and regulations lirregularitiesl is from thè ev8nts and transactions reflected in the financial slatemenls, the less likely the inherentty limited procedures required by auditing standards would idenlfy it. In addition, as with any audit, there remained 8 higher risk of non48te¢tion of irregularfles, as these may involve Collusion, forgery. intentional omission5. rnisreprftsentstions, or the overrKle of Internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non<ompliance and cannot be expeded lo detect non-compliance wilh all laws and regulations. Use of our report This report is made solely to the charity's trustoes, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charttles {A¢counts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit WOTk has be8n undertaken so that we mlght slalo to the charity's trustees those matters we are required lo stale to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fvllest exlenl permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibiltty to anyone other than the charity and the ¢harity's trustees as a body, for our audit work. for thbs report, or for the opinions we have formed.
