INDEPENDENT AUDITORS. REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE MAYOR OF LONDON'S FUND FOR YOUNG MUSICIANS Extent to whlch the audit was con$idtred Capable of detecting irregularhies. IlUdIng fvaud Irregularities. induding fraud. are instances of non-compliance wth Laws and regulations. We identified and assessed the risks ol material misstatement of the finanoal ststements friyn irregvlarilies. whether due to fraud or error, and discussed Ihese belween our audit team members. We then designed and performed audit procedures responsive to those risks, indLFdirwJ obtaining audit evKlence sufficiènt and appropriate to prov¢ a ba$1$ for our opinion. We obtained an understsndin9 of the kgal and ulatory framethDrks wilhin which the ¢hwilable company operates. focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the detemiination of material amounts and disclosures in the fnancial statements. The laws and regulations we consid8red this context were the Companies Act 2006 and the Charilies Act 2011 together with the Charilies SORP {FRS 102}. We assessed the required Comlance wTrth these la%¥s arthj regulations as part ol audit Wfxedures on the related financial statement ilem5. In addition. we considored provisions of other Laws and regulatn$ that do not have a drecl effect cn Ihg financial statem8nts bul cOmlance wth vthich might be fundamental to the charitable company's ability lo operate or to avoid 8 material pena#y. We also considered the opwrtunities and incentsves that may exist within the charitable company for fraud. The laws and regukb.ons we considered •) this ntext lor the charity were Chaiity Commission reguktK)ns. eMpyent law and General Data Protection Regulation IGOPRI. Audibng standards limit the required audit procedures to Trdenlify non<ompl4nce wth these laws. and regulations lo enquiry of the Trustees and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, rf any. We iijentrfied the greatesl risk of material irnpact on the finarKial statements from irregularities, induding fraud, to be within the reCognitn of inccrfne and the override of ntr(l$ by manag8menL Our audit procedufes lo respoThd lo these risks incknded enquiries of management, and the Finance.

Owing lo the inherent limilatK)ns of an audiL there is an unavoidable risk that wg may not have delecled some fflaterial misslalemenls in Ihe financial sialemenls, even though we have properfy p18nned and performed our audil in accordanee wth audiling standards. For example, the further removed non compliance with laws and regulations {irfegularities} i8 from the events and Iransactions reflted in the financial slatemenls. the less likely the inherenuy limited pffjcedures required by audiling Standards would identify it. In addition. as wth any audrt there remained 8 hKJher risk of rH)n41election ol irregularities, as these may involve collusion. forgery. intentional omissions. misTepTesentats"ons. or the override of iniernal controls.
