accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating lo events or

concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are aulhorised for issue.

THE MATHER FAMILY CHARITABLE TRUST
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT {CONTINUED)
TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE MATHER FAMILY CHARITABLE TRUST
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit,
we have not identified material misslalemenls in the trustees, report.
We have nothing lo report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and
Reportsl Regulations 2008 require us to report to you rf, in our opinion..
the infomiation given in the trustees, report is in¢onsislenl in any material respect with the financial
statements., or
sufficient a￿oUntIng records have not been kept.. or
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records., or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the statement of trustees, responsibilities, the trustees are responsible for the preparation
of the financial slalernenls and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as
the Ituslees determine is necessary lo enable the preparation of financial slalemenls that are free from material
misslalement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees a￿ responsible for assessing the trust's ability to continue as a
going ¢oncem, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going ¢on¢ern and using the going ¢on¢em basis of
accounting unless the trustees either intend to cease operations, or have no realistic altemative but to do so.
Auditorfs responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
OLJr objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial ststements as a whok are free from
material misststement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that in¢ludes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high ltrvel of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conduded in a¢¢ordanco
with ISAS IUKI will always dete¢t a material misstatement 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.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in
line with our responsibilities, outlined above, lo detect material misstalernenls in respect of irregularities, including
fraud. The extent lo which our procedurss are capable of delecling irregularities, including fraud and non-
ompliance with laws and regulations, was as follows..
the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competen￿,
capabilities and skills lo identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations.,
we identified the laws and regulations applicable lo the charity through discussions with trustees and other
management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience.,
we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the
financial slalements or the operations of the charity, including the Charities Act 2011.,
we assessed the exlenl of (L>mpliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making
enquiries of managernenl., and
• identified laws and regulations wsre communicated within the 8udit te8m regul8dy 8nd the te8m remained
alert lo instsnces of non-compliance throughout the audit_
We assessed the susceptibility of the charity's financial slalements lo material misslalemenl, including obtaining an
understanding of how fraud might occur, by..
making enquiries of management as lo where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their
kno￿edge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud., and
considering the internal contro15 in place lo mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and
regulations.

THE MATHER FAMILY CHARITABLE TRUST
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT {CONTINUED)
TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE MATHER FAMILY CHARITABLE TRUST
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we..
performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships.,
confirmed no joumal entries have been made by management., and
confirmed no eslimales have been made by management.
In response lo the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed Pro￿dureS
which included, bul were not limited lo..
agreeing financial stslement disclosures to undedying supporting documentation,.
reading the minutes of meetings ol those charged with governance,. and
enquiring of management as to 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 Iransaclions, the less likely il Is that we would become aware of non-compliance.
Auditing standards also lirllil the audit procedures required lo identify non-cornpliance with laws and regulations lo
enquiry of the trustees and other rnanagement and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, rf any.
Material misslalements that arise due lo fraud can be harder lo detect that those that arise from error as they may
involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial slalemenls is located on the Financial
Reporting Council's website al= www.frc.org.uklaudilorsresponsibililies. This description forms part of our auditor's
report.
