Indèpondènt Auditors. Rèport to the trustees of The Engllsh Benedictine Order of Oulton Abbey Identilying and responding to risks of matertal mlsstatèment due to non-complianee with laws andregulations We idÈntified areas ol laws and regulations that could reasonably be eype¢ted to have 2 rnaterial effect on the financial Statements fiom our general ¢ommercial and sector experience ,and through dlscu5sion wlh management las required by auditing standard51 and discussed with managetnent tho poli¢ies and prOdureS regarding compliance with laws and rulatIOnS.

Flrstly, the Charity sublecl to laws and regulations that directly affect the finan¢ial statements Induding finan¢ial ièporiing legislation lincluding related companiES Ipgislationl, taxation legislation and the Chari1188 Act legislation and we assessecl the extent of compliance with these laws and r8gul81iDns as part of our procedures on the rÈlated financial statement items. Secondly. the Charlty is sublect ta many other laws and regulatltrns where the Consequences of noncornplianc& could have a material effect on amounts or diselosures in the financial statements, for Instance through the impositson of fines or litigation or the loss of the Charity's I1$? to operat8. We idèntified th8 following area5 as those most likely to hav8 such an effect..

Auditing standards limitthe required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry ol management, inspection of regulatory and legal co[Spondnte, if any. Therefore, if a breach of operational regulations is not dI501Dsed to us or evidenl from relevant ¢orrÈspond#nce. an auditwill noldetect that bleach Context of the abAIty of the audit to dete¢tfraudorbre8che5 of law orregulation Owing to the inherent limitations of an 8udil, there is an unavoidable rrsk that W8 may not hftve detected some materia5 misststements in the financial slatem8nts, even though we have propeily planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For @xample, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial slat&ments, the less likely Ihe 5nherenlly limited proc8dur8s required by auditlng Standards would identity It In addition, as with any audit. there remained a higher risk of non detestion of traud. as these may involve collusion, forg&ry. ini8ntional omi$sion5. misrepresentation8. or the oveffida of inteTnal controls.
