The financial reporb.ng framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom AcC￿nting Standards, including FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard Applicable in the UK and Ireland, (United Kingdom Generalty Accepted Accountin9 Practs'cel.

Our responsibil*b'es under those standards are fLÈrther described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the audit of financial statements ￿tK)n of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethi(31 ￿qUIrementS that are relevant lo our audit of the financial slalements in the UK, including the FRC'S Ethical Standard. and we have fij￿111ed our other ethical responsibilities i accordance wlh these requirements. We beI￿ve that the aijdit emdence we have obtained sufficient and appropriate lo provide a basis for our ￿1n￿)n. Conclusions relating to going ¢onc&m In auditing the financial stslements, we have concluded that the trustees, use of the going ¢on¢em basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the w￿k we have perfomed. we have not identffied any matwHI uncertaintie5 relating to events or condrtions that, indiwdually or cOl￿t￿e￿. may cast Stgntficant doubl on the charitys abilty lo continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve month$ from when the financial statements are aulhorised for issue. Our responsibilit￿S and the reSpons￿lI1t19$ of the trustees wilh respect to going concem are described in the relevant sections of this report. other infom)ation The other information comprises the infomiatK)n included in the annual report, othgr than the financial statements and our audrtorf5 report thereon. The trustees a￿ resp(msible for the other infomialion. Our opinion on the financial stslemenls does not cover the other infom)alion and. except lo the extent otherwse expl1rAt￿ staled in our report. we do not express any fom) of assuran￿ conclusion thereon. In connection with our audi( of the financial statements, our ￿ponsibIl￿ 15 to read the other infomiation and, in doing so, consider whether the other infomalion Is materialty inconsistent with the financk41 slalemenls or our knovAedge obtained in the audit or otherwse appears lo be materially misstated. If we +dentrfy such material inconsislencie5 or apparent materid misstatements. ￿ are required to detemiine whether there is maleriol misstatement in the financial ststements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have perfomed. we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other infomiation, we are required lo re￿t that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Page.. 4 Independent Auditors Report to the Trustees of The Sequoia Trust Mattors on which wg are requlred to report by exception We have nothing to report in resped of the folkA¥ing matter5 where the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if. in our opinion.. the infomialion given in the Trustees. Annual Report is inconsistent in any material respect wlh the financial statements. or the charty has not kept adequate accounting records., or the financial slalements are not in agreement wtth the a¢¢ountsng records and returns,- OT we have not received all the infonnotion and explanat￿￿5 we required for our audrt. R9sponsibilities of trust As explainwj more fulty in the tNslees' re5ponsbilthes statement set out on pages 2 and 3, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a tiue and fair view, and for such intemal conlr(A as the Iruslees delerniine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstalemenl, whether due lo fraud or error. In preparing the financial slatemenls, the trust￿ 8re responsible for assessing the charty's abilty to continue as a going concem, disclosing, as applub￿, matters related lo going concern and using the going concem basis of accounting unless the trustees either inteNI to liquidate the charty or to cease operalK)ns. or have no realistlc 8liemalive bLrt to do so. Auditorfs responslbillties for the audlt of the financlal statements We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance wlh regulatk)ns made under section 154 of that ACL Our objecb"ve5 are to oblan reasonable assurance about wthether the financral statements as a whc4e are free from material misstatement, whether due to f￿ud or emr. and to issue 8n auditorfs report that indudes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance. but is not a guarant* that an audit conducted in accordance wrth ISAS (UK) will a￿yS detect a material misstatement when rt exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are con5Klered material rf, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expeded to infiuence the ￿n0m￿ d￿S￿nS of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. As part of an audit in &¢ordance wth ISAS IUIQ we exerci8e profess*)nal judgement and maintain profess￿n01 scepliusm throughout the audit. We also.. Identfy and assess the risks of material misststement of the financial statements, ￿ether dv8 10 fraud or error. design and perform audit procedures responswe to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is Suff￿lent and appropriate lo provMYe a basi5 for our opinion. The risk of not detecb'ng a material mis5ts1ement resutting from fraud is higher than for onè resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusK)n, forgery, intentKinal cmissions. misrepresentations. or the oVerr￿e of internal control. Obtain an understanding of internal eontrd relevant lo the audit in order lo design audit pr(xedure5 that are appropriate in the circumstances. but not for the purposes of expressing an t¥)inion on the effectiveness of the charit￿$ intemal control. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounling px>lries used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and Telaled disclosures made by the trustees. Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees, use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audTt evidence obtained, whether a maleiial uncertainty e￿$1S related to events or condib.ons that may cast slgnrf￿nf doubt on the chartys abil(ty to continue as a going concem. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our audrtorfs report lo the related disclosures in the financial statements or. if such disclosures are inadequate. lo modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audrt evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or condityons may cause the charity lo cease lo conlinL¢e as qoina concem. Evaluate the overall presenlat]on. structu￿ and content of the financial ststgments, including the disclosures, and lthether the financial statemen15 represent the Unde￿ng transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. Page.. 5 Independent Auditors Report to the Trustees of The Sequoia Trust Auditorfs responsibilities for thg audit of the financial statgmgnts Icontlnued} We communule wrth those charged wth governan￿ regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and signffieant audrt findings, induding any S￿n￿can1 defiuencies in internal control that we identfy during our audit. Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered ¢apable of detecting irrngularttie5, includlng fraud Irregularrties, includin9 fraud. are Instan￿ of non-complk8nce with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibil￿e$, outlined above, tr) delect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent lo which our procedures are capable of delecling irregulant*s, including fraud is detai￿ below. The objectives of our audrt in respect of fraud, are.. to identrfy and assess the risks of material misslalemenl of the financial statements due to fraud,. lo obtsin sufficient appropriate audrt emden regarding the assessed risks of malerk41 misststement due lo fraud. through designing and implementing appropriate responses lo those assessed risks,. and to respond approprialety to instances of Iraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud ￿$1$ with both management and Ih05e charged wrth governance of the charity. Our approach was as folloYr3". We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory wuir&nenls applubk to the charty and considered that the most signrficant are the Chari(ies Act 2011. the Chanty SORP. and UK financial reporting standards as issu&l by the Financial Rewrting Council. We obtained an understanding of how the chanty ccfflplies %Mth these requirements by discussions with management and those charged with govemance. We assessed the risk of material mi5Statement of the financial statements, including the risk of material misstatement due to ffaud and how it might ctcur, by holding discussions with management and those charged wth governance. . We inquired of management and those charged wrth govemance a5 to any known instances of non- compliance or suspected non-compliance with lav5 and regulations. Based on this understanding. we designed specffic appropriate audit procedures to identfy instsnces of nonacompliance wf(h laws and ￿gUlatiOns. This included making enquiries of management and those charged wrth governance and obtaining addrtional corrt*irative evidence as required. The￿ are inherenl limitations in the audit procedures described above. We are less likely to become aware of instsn¢es of non-cornplkince wrth laws and regulations that are not closety related lo events and transactions reflected in the financial stslements. Aso. the risk of not delects.ng a materBI misstslement due lo fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one reSu￿'ng from error, as fraud may involve delthrale conce81menl by, for example. forgery or intentvjnal misrepresentations. or through Use of our report This report is made solety lo the charitys trustees. as a tody, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 8 of the Charities Act 2011. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might slate to the chartys tnjslees those matters we are reqUI￿d to slate to them in an auditorfs report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent pemiitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility lo any party other than the ¢ha¥rty and charitls trustees as a body, for our audit work. for this report or for the opinion we have formed. 29 April 2025 Date.....................
