We believe thatthe audit evidence we have obtained is suffi-cient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Conclusions relating to going concern In auditing the h"nancial statemènt5, we have concluded that the directors, use of the going concern basis of 8teountin8 in the preparation of the h"nancial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to conttnue as a going concern for period of at least twelve months from when the financial 5tstements are authorised for issue. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are dèscribed in the relevant sections of this report.

Page16 The Catenian Association Benevolent and Children's Fund Independent auditor'5 report to the trustees of The Catenian A550ciation Benevolent and Children's Fund Icontinuedl Matters on which the auditor is reqUI￿d to report by exception We have nothing to report in respect of the following matter5 in relation to which the Charits"es IAccounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion.. the information given in the linancial statement5 is incon51Stent in any material iespect with the tru5tee5' report,. or suffi'cient accounting records have not been kept,. or the fi'nancial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records," or we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. Responsibilities of trustees As explained more fully in the trustees, responsibilities ststement set out on page 5, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the finallcial %tatement5 and for beir)g satisfi'ed that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparatt.on of fi.nancial statements that are free from material misstateFllent, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor'5 responsibilities for the audit of the financial ststements We have been appointed as auditors under section 144 of the Charitr'es Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulatitsn5 rrade or having effect the￿under. Our objectives are to obtsin reasonable assurance about whether the linancial ststement5 as a whole a￿ free from material misstatement. whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a 8uarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always detect a m3terial misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could ￿asonablY be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these fi'nancial statements. Irregularitie5, includin8 fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect rnaterial misststements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularitres, including fraud is detailed below.. We have obtained an ullder5tanding of the charity's policies and procedures through discussions with senior rnanagement and trustees We also drew on our existin8 understanding of the work that the charity does and the sector that it operates in. We understand that the charity complies with its responsibilities throu8h close involvement of senior rnana8ement and trustees in the day to day running of the bu5ine55 and regular liaison between them . Were there any litigation or claim5 they would come to the attentron of the senior management directly. The charity also holds regular birnonthly board meetings at which all such matters are discussed if applicable. We have reviewed the rninutes of all board meetings, and no irregularities were idèntih"ed. Management accounts h"gures ale ¢ir¢u13ted to all trustses and senior management. In the context of the audit. we considered those laws and regulations which determine the form and content of the h"nancial statements, which are central to the charity's ability to conduct business and where failure to comply could result in material penalties. We have considered the disclosure requirements tsf the Companies Act 2(K)6 as part of our hnalisation processes. PaEe17 The Catenian Association Benevolent and Children's Fund Independent auditor's report to the trustee5 of The Catenlan Associarion Benevolent and Children's Fund I￿ntinued) Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Icontinuedl We discussed the possibility of fraud with senior management and trustees whether they had any knowledge of any actual, alleged or Suspected fraud. We desigr)ed our audit tests to consider controls and tested a Sample of linancial transactions. We considered the timing of recognition of incorne. In cornmtsn with all audits under ISA'S IUKI we also performed specific procedures to respond to the risk of managernent override. We assessed the charity's colltrol environment is adequate for the size and operatrng model of such a charity. Because of the inherent limitation5 of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the hnancial statements or non-compliance with re8ulatron. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events ènd transactions reflected in the financial 5taternents, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non.
