The18ws and regulalions we considered in this context were th6 Charllies Act 2011 together with the Charllles SORP {FRS102). We assessed the required compliance wllh these laws and regulallons as p8rt of our audil procedures on the related financial slalemenl items. In 8ddilion, we consldered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financlal statements but compliance with which might be fundamental to the charitable company's ablllty to operate or lo avold a material penalty. The laws and regulations we considered in Ihl8 context were Health and Safety legi$lalion, Employment legislollon, Charity Commlssion regulations and General Data ProteGllon Regulallon IGDPRI. Auditing standards limit the requlred audll procedures to idenlty non-compl18n￿ wblh these laws and regulations lo enquiry of the Trustees and other management and Inspectlon of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
