Irregularities. induding fraud. are instances of r)npIl3nce laws and regulations. We design prOceduS in line our responsibililies, outlined atw. to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, induding fraud. The extent to whKh WdureS are opable of detecbru irwularilies, including fraud is detailed below: We obtained an understandirMJ of the legal and regulalcrfy frameworks within vthich the chafilable company operates, focusing on those la and regulK)ns that have a direct effect on the delfrmiinalion of material 8mounls and disclosures in the financial stslements. The laws and reyuLgticffis we considered irb thi5 context were the Companies Act 20( logether wlh the Charities SORP (FRS102) 2019. Wg assassed the quired comF4ixe these regjlations as part of our wdit procedures on the related finanrAal ststement items. In additi'on. we considered provrsions of other laws and regufations that do nol have a direct effect on the linan¢ial ststements bLrt complore wlh whith mighl be hAlaMental to the charitsble CoMpanS ability to operate or to avoitj a merial penalty. We also 0sidered the opwrtunittes and incentives that may exist within the charitable company for fraud. The lav•S and regulations we considered in this context were Charities Commission Regulabon5 and Hedth and Safety and safeguarding considerations. Auditwig standards limit the roquired wJf¢ pl8ureS to idenfrfy nOn-c¥)m1aCe with thgse laws ar•d regulations to enqimry of the directtys and other managemwl and inspectth of regulaw and legal correspondence. if any. We Jentified Ihe greatest risk of material impact on the finanual statements frcwn irregularities, induding fraud. to be regards to the timing of recognition of Ome and Ihe override of ts)ntrols by management. Our audbt procedures to respond lo these visks includgd.. - enquiiies of management and the directors atrul Ihw own id8nliftcation and assessment of the rfsks of Irregularilies. - sample testing on the wsting ofioumals. - c8rrwng out detailed substantive testirMJ on the mPtenesS of incorne.- reading mirbUte5 of meetings of those charged with govemance.. and . obtaining conffimiatvjn frcn thg directors that the vas no regulaw &)rrespond9 vmh the Charity Commission or other regulatory bodies. Because of the inherent limitations of an aLKliL there is a risk that we will not detect all Irregularies. including Ihose leading to a malerial misststement in Ihe financial stslements or non complk3nce with regulation. This risk inueases the more that compliance wilh a law or regulation refnoved from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements. as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non Compliance. The risk is also grealer regarding irregularities ocujrring to fraud rather than err(Y, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery. collusn, omission or misrepre5enLIt"on.
