Matterg on which wo aro roquirod to report by exceptlon In the light of the knowledge and understanding gf the company and it5 environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material mi5Statements in the trustees, annual report. We have nothing to report in res[￿1 of the following matters where Ihe compan￿ Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion= adequate a¢¢ounling record5 have not been kepl, or retums adequate for our audit have not be8n received from branches nol visited by vs- or the financial statements are rKSt in agreement with the accounting records and relums: or certain disclosures of trustees, remunerats'on specified by law are not made., or we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audh,. ¢y th8 trustees wer8 not entitled lo prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies exemption in preparing the Trustees, Annual Report and from preparing a Strategic Report. Responslbiliti•s of tfusteès As explained more fulty in the trustees, responsibilities statement set out on page 10, th8 trustees (who are also th8 directors of Ihe charitable company for the wrposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Iruslees detem)ine Is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statem8nls that are free from material mi55tatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the ¢harilable company's ability to continue as a going concem, disclosing. as appl￿ble. matters related to going ¢oncem and using the going concern basis of accounting unths the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable ojmpany or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Audlior's ro8ponsibilities for the audit of the financial statements C￿T objectNes are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free frorn material rrisstalement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditorfs rewrt that includes our opinion. Reasonable 8SSUTance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee thal an audti conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always detect a material misstalemenl when il exi$l$. Misstalemenls can arise from fraud or error and are ¢onshdered material rf, individualty or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decision8 of users L8ken on the basis of these financial slatemenls. As part of an audtt In accordan￿ with ISAS IUKI we ex8rci%e ￿￿￿8S510nal judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also= Idenlrfy and asse55 the risks of material misstatement of the financial slatemenls, whethw due to fraud or error. desvJn and perform audit procedures responsive lo those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is ¥LrffKient and appropTiale lo provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misslatemenl resulting from fraud is higher than f(ff one resultiTrJ from error, as fraud may involve collusK)n, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. 13 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS, REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF QVSR SEAFARERS CENTRES Obtain an understanding of internal ￿ntrol relevant lo the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in Ihe ¢ir¢umslances, but not for the purposes of expr85sing an opinion on the effectiveness of the charitable company's intemal control. Evaluote the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees. Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees, use of the going concern basis of accounb'ng and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related lo events or Conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability lo ¢onlinue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required b draw attention in our auditorfs report lo the related disclosures in the financlal statements or, rf suGh disclosure5 are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit eviden￿ obtsined up lo the date of our auditorfs report. However. future evenis or conditions May ￿uSe the charitable company lo cease to conlinue as a going concern. Evaluate the overall presenlallon. structure and contem of the flnan¢lal statements, Includlng Ihe disclosure5, and whether the financial stal8ments represent the undertying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. We ¢ommuni¢ate with those charged with govemance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significanl audil findings. induding any slgnffj￿n1 deficiencies in Internal Gonlrol that we identify during our audit. ExplanatSon as to what •xt•nt th• audit was considor•d Gapable of detecting I￿8gUIaritI8s, In¢luding fraud Irr8gularities, includlng fraud. are instances of nonw¢ompliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line wrf(h our responsibilities, outlined above. to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularilies. including fraud. The extent to whth our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below. The objectives of our audit in respect of fraud, are.. to idenlfy and assess the Tisks of maleri misstalement of the financial slalem8nts due to fraud.. to obtain SLrfficlent appropriate audit evidenc regarding the assessed risks of material misslatgment due to fraud. through designing and implementing appropriate responses to those assessed risks., and to respond appropriately to instance5 of fraud or suspected fraud identrfi6d during the audit. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both management and those charged with govemance of the charitsble company. Our approach was as follows- We obtained an understsnding of the legal and regulatory requirements applicable lo the company and wnsidgred that the mosl signrfunl are the Companies Acl 2006, Ihe Charitie5 Act 2011, UK financlal reporting $tand?rd5 as issued by the Financial Reporting Council and UK taxation legislation. We obtalned an ¢Jnderslanding of how the charitable company complies with these requirements by disuJs$ion$ with management and Ihose Gharged with governance. We assessed the risk of material misslatemenl of the financial statements, including the risk of material mi5Stalemenl due lo fraud and how it might occur. by holding discussions with management and those charged wllh governance. We inquired of management and those charged with governanLE as lo any known instances of non-compliance or suspected non-compliance wth laws regulations. 14 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS, REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF QVSR SEAFARERS CENTRES Based on this understanding, we designed specrfic appropriate audil procedures to identify instances of nonrycompliance with laws and regulalions. This included making enquiries of management and thos8 charged with governance and obtaining addltional corroborative evidence as required. There a￿ inherent limitations in the audll pr￿edureS d8scribed above. We we less likely to become aware of instances of non-c0mp1lan￿ wlth laws and regulations that are not closely related to events and transactions reflected In the financlal statements. Also, the risk of not detecting a m8terlal misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not deteclSng one resultiThJ from error, as fraud may involve d81ib8rale concealment by, for example. forgery or Intentional misrepresentations. or through collusion.
