In a very d¢fficult year, our staff have perfom)ed extreme￿ well In continuing, and improvingi the

charltable aims. The Charity usos Its reSoUr￿S tr) maintsin the prOPert￿e5 to a high standard, and to

XNDEPENDENT AUDrroR'S REPORTTO THE TRusfEES OF

Audltors. responsibilities for the audtt of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable a￿Uran￿ about whether the financial ststements as a whole are
free frotn materfal misstatement, whether due to fvaud or error, and to issue an Auditor5, Report that
includes our opinion. Reasonab￿ assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit
Conducted in accordance with tSAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate,
they could reasonably be expected to lnfiuen￿ the economic deasions of users taken on the basis of these
financyal staternents.
Irregular￿leS, includlng fraud, a￿ Instances of non•compliatKe with Laws and regulakn"ons. We design
procedures in line with our re5ponsibilibes, outlined above, to detett material misstatement5 in respett of
Irregularities, induding fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities,
induding fraud is detailed below..
Capability of the audit in detertlng Irre9ulèrlties including fraud
Based on our understanding of the Charity, we have considered those laws and regulatior￿ that have a
direLt impart on the preparation of the financial statements such as the char￿"eS Act 2011. We evaluated
management incenbves and opportun￿￿ for fraudulent manipulation of the financial staternents induding
management override, and considered that the prinopal risk was related to the poskn'ng of inappropriate
journal entries to Improve the result before tax for the year.
We designed audt procedures to respond to the ri4k, recogFJising that the risk of not detsLting a nwterial
M￿statement due to fraiid is higher than the risk of not deteth'ng one resulting from error, as fraud may
invofve deliberate Con￿alment by, for example, forgery, misrepresentstions or through colluslon.
Pr¢xeduYes perforn￿d by the audit team indvded:
Discu￿On$ with management regarding known or suspected instances of non-complian￿ with laws
nd regulations,.
Evaluakn"on of controb designed to prevent and detect irregularities; and
Kwsing fvurnal entries as part of our planned audit approach.
There are Inherent limtstlons in the audit prO￿dureS described above, and the fvrther removed non-
cOrnpl￿n(e with law5 and regulations is from the events and transactions relkrted In the financial
statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. in all of our audrf5 we also addressed the r￿k of
management ovethde of internal controls. including testing journals and evaluating whether there was
eviden￿ of bia5 by the direttors that repre*nted a risk of material misststement due to fraud.
A further destription of our responsibllities for the audit of the financial ststements Is located on the
Finanual Reporting Coun(il's websits at.. www.frc.org.uklauditorsregp0r￿lb1lltle5.
This description forms Part of our auditorfs reyjrt.
