Society of the Holy Chlld Jesus CIO 30 Independent auditor's report 31 December 2024 Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the accounts Icontinuedl How the audit was consiTdered Capable of detecting Irregularities including fraud (continued) We assessed the susceplibilily of the charity's financial statements lo material misslalemenl, including how fraud might occur by., • Making enquiries of management and represenlalives of the Iruslees as lo where they considered there was susceplibilily lo fraud, their knowledge of actual. suspected and alleged fraud,. and Considering the intern21 controls in place lo miligale risks of fraud and non-cofflpliance with laws and regulations. To address the risk of fraud through management biss and override of controls, we.. + Performed analytical procedures lo identify any unusual or unexpected relationships-, Tested and reviewed journal entries lo iéenlify unusual transactions.. Carried out substantive lesling of expenditure including the authorisalion thereof., • Assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias-, and • Investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions. In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, bul were not limited lo.. Agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation,. + Reading the minutes of rneelings of Iruslees., and Enquiring of as lo actual and potential litigation and claims. There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely il is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required lo identify non-compliance with laws and regulations lo enquiry of the trustees and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Material misslalements that arise due lo fraud c2n be harder lo detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
