criminalise, discriminate against and fail to adequately protect LG8T people. We also successfully
implemented media and communications strate8ie5 in collaboration with our local civil society and

the first case of its kind. the Comrnittee accepted our arguments, found Sri Lanka in violation of its

INDEPENDENT AUDrroR'S REPORTTO THE MEMBERS OF

Auditorfs responsibilities lor the audit of the financial ststements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance abo￿ whether the financial statements as a whole are free
from material misstatement. whether due to fraud or error. and to issue an auditorfs report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance. but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with ISAS IUKI will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise
from fraud or error and are considered material if. indNidually or in the aggregate. they could reasonably be
expected to influence the economic decision5 of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of norKompliance wtth laws and regulations. We design procedures
in line with our responsibilities, outlined above. to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities,
including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is
detailed below..
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory.frameworks that are applicable to the charitable
company and determined that the most signrfthnt are the Statement of Recommended Practice 'Accounting
and Reporting by Charities. ISORP 20151. in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in
the UK IFRS 1021 applicable to smaller entities and the Companies Act 2006. We identified that the legal
requirement to accurately account for restricted fund5 was of key sgnificance.
We gained and understanding of how the charitable company is comptying with legal antl regulatory
framework, including the requirement to properly account for restricted fund5, thorugh discussions with
management, together with the review of the charrws documented policies and procedures.
The audit team, which is experienced in the audrt of chartties, conSide￿d the charitys susceptibility to
material misstatement and how fraud may occur. Our considerations included the risk of management
override.
Our approach was to check that the irtcome fmm grants and donations were properly identified, expenditure
were complied with the control procedures and appropriately charged. In addition. we checked that
restricted income was properly rdentified and separately accounted for and to ensure that only valid and
appropirate expendrture was charged to restrirted funds. We also reviewed joumal adjustments and
unusual transactions.
