material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economlc decisions of
users taken on the basls ol these account5.
Irre8ularitie5, including fraud. are Instances of non-complian￿ with laws and regulations. We deslgn procedures In Ilne

capabilities and skills to identify or reco8nise non<ompliance with applicable laws and regulations,.
we ideniified the laws and regulations applicable to the charity through discussions with those charged with
governance and other management, and from our knowledge and experience of the sector..
we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the
accounts or the operations of the charity. includin8 Accounting and Reporting by Charities.. Statement of
Recommended Practice applicable to Charities Pfeparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial

We a55esseil the susceptibility of the Charitws accounts to material misstatement. includin8 obtaining an
understanding of how fraud mi8hi occur, by..
making enq￿IrieS of trustees as to their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud,. and
consldering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with law5 and
re8ulations.
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we..
+ performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships.,
performed substantive testing of èxpenditure including testing the authorisation thereof.. and
a55essed whetherjud8ements and as5umption5 made in determining the a¢countinB estimates were
Indlcatlve of potential bias.
In response to the risk of fjrre8ularilies and non-compliance with laws and re8ulatlons, we desl8ned procedures whlch
Included, but were not limited to..
agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlyinB supporting documentation,.
reading the mlnutes of mèetings of those charged with govein3nce.'
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more rernoved that laws and regulations
are from flnanclal transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standard5
also Ilrnit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance wilh13ws and regulatlons to enquiry of the trustees
and other mana8ement and the Inspectlon of regulaiory and le8al Correspondence. If any.
Material mlsstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that ar15e from error as they may
involve deliberate concealment or colluslon.
