The Trust has been experiencing this as a Steady change Since 2008. In 2014 it implernented fully a plan to rebuild property based income through redevelopment of some of its property portfolio. Since 2018 renovated and re-let properties have prodU￿d income frDm residential tenants at a significant and increasing level. Analysi5 of the income yields generated from these properties has shown increased returns. The Trust has clearly recognised the risk to its 8rant making potential.. from the difficulty in letting Some of the property that used to be attractive for business Lbse but is no longer and the fall in rents from property that can still be let for commercial and business use_ The Property Committee and the Trust as 3 whole are continuing to address thi5 by a strategy of changing use of buildings and re-letting for resldential occupation. The Trust recognise5 the need to consider reputstional risk in its grant makin8 and other actNlties. OBJECTIVES ANO AcnvrnES io.

We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, ovtlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregLtlarities. including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities. including fraud, is detailed below= the engagement responsible individual ensured that the engagement team collertively had the appropriate competence. capabilities and skillsto identify or recognise non-compliance with appltcable laws and regulations.. we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the charity throu8h discussions wtth management and trustees and from our knowledge and experiences of the sertor.. we focussed on specific laws and regul*ions which we consrdered may have a direct material effert on the financial statements or the operations of the charity. including Charities Act 2011 and health and safety legislation.. we 3sse55ed the extent of Complian￿ with the law5 and regulattons identified above through making enquiries of manaÉement. burgesses and the property portfolio managing agent,. identified laws and regulations were communicated wtthin the audit team re8ulady and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audtt. We assessed the susceptibiltty of the charity's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by,. making enquirtes of management and Burgesses as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspetted and alleged fraud.. and considering the internal controls in place to mitiwe risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations. To address the risks of fraud through management bias and override CC￿trOl5. we: performed analytical Pro￿dureS to identfy any unusual or unexperted relationships: tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions.. assessed whetherjudgements and assumption5 made in deterniining the accounting estimate5 set out in note 3 were inditative of potential bias,. and investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transartions. In resptxse to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and re8ulations. we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to- greeing financial statement disclosure5 to Under￿ing supporting documentation- reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance,. enquiring of management as to artual and potential Irtigation and claims. Because of the inherent limitations of an audtt. there is a risk that we will not detect all irrègularities. including those leading to a mBterial mtsstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliarTrce with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions refiected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error. as fraud involves intentional concealment. forgery, collusion. omi55ion or misrepresentation.
