Irregularllie5, including fraud. are Instances of non-compliance with laws and regulallons. Wo design procedures in
Ilne with our responsibililles, oulllned above, lo delecl material misstatements In respect of irTegularilies, Including
fraud. The extent lo whlch our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, Including fraud is detailed below..
We oblained an understanding of the legal and regu1810ry frameworks within whlch the charitable company
operales, focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the dètérmination of material
amounts anij disclosures in the financlal statements. 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.
We also considered the opportunities and Incenllves that may exist wlthSn the charllable company for fraud.
We idenllfied the greatest risk of material impact on the financial slalements from irregulari1188, Includlng
fraud. to be the override of controls by management, Income recognrtion and fund classification.
In response lo thè risk of irregularllles and nOn￿OmPliance with laws and regulatlons and risk of fraud, we deslgned
procedure3 which included bul were not limiled to.. sample lesling on the posting of journals, dolailed subslanliiia
testing on the completeness of income, revlew of grant documentation. review of trustee's minutes and 6
Corresponden￿ wllh regulators.
Owlng to the Inherent limllallons of an audit, th&re is an unavoldable risk that we may not have detected 50m8 malerlal
mlsslatemenls in the financSal statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audll In
accordance with auditing standards. We are not responsible for preventing non-compllance and cannot be expected
lo delecl non4ompliance with all laws and regulations. These inherent limitations are particularfy significant in the
case of mlssl8temenl resulting from fraud as this may involve sophislicaled schemes deslgned to avoid detection,
Includlng deliberate fallure lo recor(i transactiolls, collusion, or the provision of intentlonal mi5represenlalions. We
are not re9ponsible for pr8venllng fraud and cannot b8 expected lo detect all fraud.
