In preparing the financial statements, Ihe trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basi5 of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Audltorfs responsibllities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due tD fraud or error. and tolssue an auditor's report that includes Dur opinion. Reasonable assurance 15 a high level of assurance, but is not guarantee that an 3udit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI wlll always detert a material mi5Statement 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 statement5. Irregularitie5, including frèud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We deslBn procedures in line with our responsibilitie5, Outlined above, to detect materlal misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedure5 are capable of detecting Srregularities, including fraud is detailed below.. A further description of our responslbilities for the audit of the financial statements 15 located on the Financial Reporting Council's web51te at.. www.frc.or auditorsre5 onsibilities. ThÈs description forms part of our auditols report. Extent to whlch the audit was consldered Capable of detecting IrregLtlarities, includlng traud Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We identified and assessed the risk5 of material mi5Statement of the financial statements from irregularities, whether due to fraud or error, an¢J discussed these between our audit team members. We then designed and performed audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. We obtained an understandinE of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the charitable Company operates, focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect ¢Jn the determination of materi31 amounts and disclosures in the financlal statements. The laws and regulation5 we considered in thls context were the Companies Act 2006, the Charitie5 Act 2011. 13 THE DVLWICH SCHOOL CRANBROOK ANNUAL REPORTOFTHE GOVERNOR5 FOR THE YEAfi ENDED31 AUGUST 2023 taxatlon legislation, together with the Charities SORP IFRS 1021. We assessed the requlred compliance wlth these law5 and regulation5 a5 part of our audlt prO￿dureS on the related flnancial 5tstement Items. In addltion, we considered provislons of other laws and regulations that do not have a dlrect effect on the flnancial statements but complianee wlth which might be fundamentsl to the cha￿table company's ablllty to operate orto avoid a material penalty. We also considered the opportunitles and Incentlves that may exist withln the charltsble company for fraud. The laws and regulatlons we considered In this context for the UK operations were The Educatlon Ilndependent School Standards) Regulations 2014, Data Protection Regulatlon IGDPRI, Health and safety legislation and employment legislation. AudltlnE Standards limit the required avdit procedures tu identify non-compllance wlth these laws and regulatlons to enquiry of the Trustees and other management and Inspectlon of regulatory and legal correspondence, If any. We identlf(ed the greatest risk of material impart on the financial ststements from Irregularlties, Includlng fraud, to be within the overrlde of controls by manaEement. Our audil procedure5 to respond to these risks included enquiries of management and the Audlt Committee about thelr own Identification and assessment of the Flsks of Irregijlarltles, sample testing on the posting of Journals, revlewing accounting e5timate5 for biases, revlewlng any regulatory correspondence with the Charity Commlssitsn. Independent Schools Inspectordte, Otsted and reading minutes of meetings of those charged wlth governance. Owlng to the Inherent limltstions of an audit, there15 an unavoidable rlsk that we may not have detected some mgterlal mi55tatements In the flnancSal statements, even though we have property planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example. the ftjrther removed non-compliance wlth law5 and regulatlon5 lirregularitie51 Is from the events and transactions reflected In the financial statements, the less Ilkely the inherently limited procedu￿5 required by audltin8 standards woulif identify It. In addition, a5 wlth any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detectlon of Irregularitie5, as these may Involve collusion, forEery, Intentional omlssions, m15representatlons. or the override of Internal contro15. We are not responslble for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to dÈtett non-compliance with all laws and regulations.
