5ERICC REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDrroRS TOTHE MEMBERS OF SERICC Irregularities, including fraud, are Instances of non-tompliance wlth laws and re8ulatlons. We design procedures In line with our re5pon5ibilitie5, Outlined above, to detert material misstatements In respect of irregularitles, Including fraud. The specific procedures for thi5 engagement and the extent to which our procedures are capable of detectln8 Irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: Obtaining an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework5 applicable to the entity, Includln8 but not Ilmlted to the Charltles Art 2011 and the Charltles SORP; Enqulry of managernent, those charge wlth 8overnance, and thÈ entitls legal advlsors around attLtiai and poteiltial litigation and Claims; Review of legal c05t5 to ascertain the nature of costs and possible related non-compliance. Reew1n8 minutes of meetlngs of those charged with governance; Performlng audlt work over the risk of management override (rf tontrols, Includln8 testln8 of Journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluatln8 the business rationale of slgnificant transarttons outslde the normal course of business and reviewin8 accountin8 estimates for bias. Because of the inherent limitatlon5 of an audit, there is a risk that we w511 not detect all irregularitles, Including those leadln8 to a material misstatement In the flnancial statements or non<ompllance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulatlon 15 removed from the Èvents and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compllance. The rlsk Is also greater regarding irregularities occurrlng due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentlonal concealment, for8ery• colluslon, omission, or misrepresentatlon. A further description of our responslbilities is available on the FRtrs webslte at: httPS:/lwMv.frc,org.uk/Our-Work/Audit/Audit-and-assurancelStandards-and-guidance/Standards-and- guidancÈ-for-auditorslAuditors-responsibilities-for-audit/Description-of-audltors-responsibilities-for- audlt.aspx. This description forms part of our auditorfs report. Use of our audlt report Thls report is made solely to the charitvs trustees, as a body, In accordan with Part 4 of the Charltles (Accounts and Reports) Regulation5 20)8. Our audlt work ha5 been undertaken so that we might state to the charitV5 trustees those matters we are required to state to them In an auditorfs report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charlws trustees as a body, for our audlt work, for this report. or forthe opinions we have formed. 44154 Orsett Road Grays Essex ROWLAND HALL (Statutory Audltor) Chartered Certlfled Accountants and Re8iStered Auditors 12 September 2022 18
