LLYS NINI 8RANCH- CARMARTHENSHIRE TO CARDIFF ICONTINUEDI Audltors. rosponslbllfties for the audlt of the flnanclal statements We have been appointed as auditor undor section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance wilh the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance 8botsl whether the financial stslements as a whole are free from material misslalement, whether due lo Iraud or error. and to issue an Auditors, report that Includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, bul is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will 81ways detect 8 material misstalemenl when il ¢xisls. Misslalemenls Can arise from fraud OT er¥or Bnd are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate. they could reasonably be expected lo influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Irr@gularilies, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design proceduTes in line with our responsibilities. outlined above, lo detect material misstatements in respe¢l of irregularities, induding fraud. The extent lo which our procedures are c8pable of deleeling irregularit¢es, including fraud Is detailed below.. We obtain and update our understanding of the entity. ils activities. ils control environment, and likely future developments. including in relation to theIal and regulatory framework applicable and how the enlily is complying wlh that framework. Basèd on this understanding, we identify and assess th& risks ol material misslatomenl of the financial stalemenls, whelher due to fraud or error, design anLI perform au11 pro¢edures responsive lo those risks, and obtain audit evtdence that is SLrfficienl and 8ppropriale to provide a basis for our opinion. This includes consideration of the risk of acts by the entity Ihal were contrary lo applicable laws and regulations. including frauds. In response to the risk of irregularities and nonwcompllance wllh18ws and regulations. including fraud, we designed procedures which included.. Enquiry of mana9ement and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and daims as well as actual, suspected and allegèd fraud., Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance., Assessing the extent of Complian with the laws and regulations considered to have a direct maleTial effect on the financial stslemenls or the operations of the entity through onquiry and inspection., Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation lo assess compliance with applicable laws and regLtlations,' Performing audit work over tho risk of management bias and override of controls, including testing of journal entries and othe radjustmenls lor apprtspriatenes5, Bvalualing the businass rationale of significant transactions oulside the normal course of business and reviewing accountsng eslimales for indicators of potential biag. Because of the Inherent limitations of an audS1. there Is a risk that W8 will not detect all 1STegulariUes. includSng those leading to a material misslalement in the financlal slalemenls or non-compllance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions Teflecled in the financial stslemenls, as we will be less likely lo become aware of Snstances of non-compliance. The risk of not delecling a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for ong resulting from error, as fraud may involved collusion, forgery, Itentional omissions, misrepresenlaiions, or the override of internal control.
