Responslbllitles of trustees As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees, Responsibilities, the trustees are responslble for the preparation of the financial statements which sive a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of ftnanclal statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financSal statements, the trustees are responsible for assesslng the charlty's ability to conttnue as golng concern, disclosin& as applicable, matters related to goin8 concern and using the going concern ba515 of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operattons. or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Our re5ponsibilltles for the audit of the financlal statements We have been appointed as auditors under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulation5 rnade or having effect thereunder. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to 155ue a Report of the Independent Audltors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of a55urance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always detect a material mi55tatement 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 influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularittes. includin8 those leading to a material mi5Statement in the financial statement5 or non-compliance 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 statements. a5 we will be le55 likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk 15 a150 greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, a5 fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omi55ion or misrepresentation.
