Responsibilltles of trustees As explained more fully in the trustees, responsibilities statement set out on pages 6 & 7, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of financial Statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary lo enable the preparab.on of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concem, disclosin9, as applicable, matters ￿lated lo going concem and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend lo liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor's responsibilities for tho audit of the financial statements We have been appointed as auditor under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance wrth regulations made under seclh)n 154 of thÈt ACL Our objectives are lo obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are 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 guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.

Indopendent Auditofs Report to the Trnstees of: JOHN HQRNIMAN'S CHILDRENS TRUST Continued..... Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due lo fraud. Professional scepticism in course of the audit and with audit sampling in material audit areas. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk Ihal we will not delect all irregularities, including those leading lo a material misslatemenl in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regu18tion is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to becom8 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, omission or isrepresentation.
