Responsibiliknes of trustees for ihe financial slatements
As explained more fully in the trustees. responsibilities statement set ryjt on wje 20. the tnjstees (who are also Ihe directors of
the Charitable company lor the purposes ol company Liwl are reSponsi￿e for the preparats'on of the ffinancial slalements and for

the preparation ol ffinanaal statemerbts that afe free from matelial mis5tatemèrrt. wheiher due to fraud or error.
In ￿paring the financial slalements, the trustees are responsibk for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as
a going con¢em, disdosin9. as appI￿￿e. matters related Io g￿n9 Co￿eM and using the going concern basis of accounting

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit ol the f￿￿n¢101 statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonab￿ assurance aboul whelher the financaal statements as a whc4e are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditorfs report that indudes our opinion. Reasonable assurance
is a high lèvel of assurancè, but is not a guarantee thal an audit conduc(ed in a￿rdance with ISAS IUKI will a￿ayS delecr
material misstatement when rt exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud Of error and a￿ Conside￿ material rf, individually or
in the aggregate. they (x)ukl reasonably be expecled to influence the el￿n0M￿ deosK)ns of users taken on the bas¢s of these
f￿anCIaL $lalements.
Irregularities. Incr￿ing fraud. a￿ instances ol non-ctsnplkince with laws antl regulat￿)n$. We design procedures in line with our
responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatemenis in resF*Ct ol irregularities. including fraud. The exient lo which
our pr£￿eduleS are capable of detecttng irr8gularitses. induding fraud is detailed bel￿Al..
Based on our understsnding of the group and the environment in which il operales. we Klentiffied Ihal Ihe principal risks of non-
cornpliance with laws and regLtlations relaled to heatth and safety and data protection legislation and we conwdeied the extent
lo which non-compliance M￿ht have a material Èffect on the finanoal statements. We also considered those lav4s and
Tegulalior4s".Ik*. haye'& direct impact on Ihe preparnkn.on of the ffinancial statements such as thè Companies Act 2(Th and the -
Charities Acl 2011.
We evaluated managemenvs ￿cent￿leS an¢J OPFthuNties for fraud￿ertt m*ipulatK)n of the finan¢i81 Slalements (induding the
risk of override of controls). Audit procedures perfonned by the engagement tearn I￿Uded..

and regulth'on and fraud,.
Reviewing the controls and procedures relevant lo the preparatson ofthe finanaal statements to ensure that these were

Identifying and testing journals. induding using dats analyb¢S sollware in pa￿"Cular joumal entries posted with unusual

Challenging assumptKJns and judgements made by management ￿ thwr ¢yth'cal accounting estimates. as described in
the accountin9 poliaes.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit. there is a iisk that we will not detecl all irr&Jularrties. including those
leading lo a material misslalemenl in Ihe financial st*ements or non-complkgnce with regulation. This risk increases the
more that compliance with a law or reguLqtion is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial
statements. as we will be less likety lo become ware of instsnces of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding
irregularities occurrin9 due lo fraud rather than efror. as f￿ud invofves intenlirmal concealment, forgery, collusion,
omission OT misrepresentation. A fvrther descripiion of oui responsibililies for the audit of the financiJ slatements is located
