Charities Act 2011, Charity SORP (FRS 102) and relevant UK taxation legislatio - We obtained an understanding of how the charity complies with these rquirements by discussions with managemeDt and the trt￿tees. - We assessed the risk of material misststement of the financial staternents. iticluding the risk of material misststement due to fraud and how it might occur. by holding discussions with management and the trustees - We inquired of management and those cbarged with govemancc as to any known instances of non-compliance or susp¢cted non-compliance with laws and regulations. - Based on this understanding, appropriate audit procedures w¢re used to identify instance5 of non-compliance with laws and regulation5. This included making enquiries of management and the trustees and obtaining additional corroborative evidence as required.
