Our objectives are to obthin reasortable assurance alyout whether the financtal Sth*ments &8 a whole are fire from
material mi5s1atemenL whrfher due ￿ frdud or error, 2nd to issue a Report ol the Independent Auditors that includes our
¢)pinion. Reasonable ￿￿rance is a high level of ￿￿Tan￿ but is ￿t a guarantee that an audit conducted in acCo￿anCe
with ISAS (UK) will aJway5 d¢teci a Ma￿adE missthteTnent when it exists. Misststements Can arise fff)rn fraud or ern)r
and are eonsid¢red material if, tndividua]ly (Y it) thc a8grega*. they could reasothty be expected to influence the
econ¢)mic decisions of users taken on the basis of thes¢ financial sthtemcnts.
Th¢ extent to which ourprcthluffs are ¢*le of da¢￿]ng irye8ulartti4 including fraud is detailed below..
B&8ed on our understanding of the charity and its activities. and through dikussion with the truste¢s and management.
w¢ identified the principa] risks of material mi&stat¢mcat tK*th at the financid siatement level and at the assertion l¢vel.
We considered these risks in the light of vario￿ factors including the tevel of complrxTty. subjeclivity, uncertainty.
pot¢ntial management bia5. fraud tnateria]ity and any other relevant f￿torS.
We Considered the extent to which these
would have a material impact on the fJnancia] swements and designed ouraudi.. work accordingly.
In identtfying and asse5sin8 risks of [nat¢ri￿ misSwe￿ent in respect of trregulaTttie& in¢luding fiwd and
non-compliAnee with laws and re8ulatiorLkOW included the following:
. We obtained an undetsthndw of the le8al at)d regulaw framework that the dwtty operdtes in. focusing on those
laws and regulations that had a material effect on the fJJJancial sta*rnents or that h￿1 a fimdamentsi ¢ff￿1 oll the
0￿raTionS of the charity from our profession￿ and sectorexperience.
. We perforni￿ ana￿]Cal procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected rel*ionships that may indicate risks of
materiaj misstatement to fraud. and reviewed significant or unusual transactions to identify their underlying
supporting ration￿¢
' We insp¢cied the rnin￿es of meetings of those ch2r8ed with governance. and made direct enquiries of management
ond the tK>Hrd of trn5tees ¢oncerning th¢ charity's pjlicies and ry￿¢dures reiatingto:
* Identifyin& evaluating, and complying with taw5 and regul&aon5 and whether they were awar¢ of any i￿$ta￿eS (Ff
non-compliance.,
* Dct¢¢ting and re5w)nding to the risks of fiaud whether they have kDowledge of any ￿tual, susFrt¢& or alleged
frnud,.
* The internal controls establish￿ to mitigate risk8 rela*d to fratyj (Y n(¥￿pIlancC with laws 8ThJ regulatiOll5.
In add￿sSIng the risk of fiw]d th￿8￿ management override of controls. wc tclled the appropriateness of journal e#tries
and other adjustments. assessed whether th¢ judgetnents made in maknng accounting e5tima*s were indicative of a
t￿tt￿ bi&% and tested 5]￿lfican¢ trdfLsaaions that weff unusual orth05eOUtside the tK)mial course of business.
We also
' discussed and reviewed the charity'5 busin¢ss model and fotward planning io &%se5S going coiicern
Comm￿leated applicable law5 and r¢gulatiot)s througknui the alldii team and remained alert to any tndications of
non-compliance throughout the audit.
' reviewed the finaneial statement disclosu￿& and iested these to supwrting &Jcumentstton to assess compliance with
applicable laws and regulations.
' Carried out substantive testing on income and eX￿d￿lure
' Re-perfomjed reconciliations of control accounts. and recaleulated item$ such as dq￿latIOn
Because of the inhercnt limilations of an audi4 there is a risk that we will not detect a]1 irregul8ritie& including those
