We have ¢onsidered the resulls of enquiries vthh management and Dire¢tors in relation lo their own
identification and assessment of the risk of irTe9ularrties wihin the entity.. and
We have reviev4e<l the documenlab.on ol key processes and controls and perfromed walkthroughs of

AS a result of thege procedures. v* considered the opportunities an¢J ineentives that may exist within the

particular risk in relation to year end cul off. In common all audits unde¥ ISAa IUKI we are also required lo
perfomi specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override.
We also obtained an understanding ol the legal arKI regulatory frameworks that the Company operates in,
focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effed on the delerminalion of material
amounts and disclosu￿$ in the financial stslemenls. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context

ARISE EDUCATION
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS. REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ARISE EDUCATION ICONTINUEDI
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit. there is a risk that we will not delect all irregularities, including
those leading to a material misslalemenl in the financial statements or non-compliance wrth regulation. This risk
increases the more that wmplian¢e a law or wulabon is removed from the events and transactions
reflected in the financial statements, as we wll be less likely to become aware of instances of non-
compliance.The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud
involves intenb'onal concealment, forgery, collusion. omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial
Reporb'ng Council's website at.. WVhV.frc.or

adequate resources to contsnue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Board
