Page 6 FRAZER TRUST INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF FRAZER TRUST ICONTINUEDI Auditorfs responsibblities for the audit of the financial statements We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charth'es Act 2011 and report in a¢cordan¢e wth the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect Ihereunder. Our objectives are to oblain reasonatrAe assurance about vthether the financial slalemenls as a whc4e are free from material misstatement, vthether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditorfs report that indudes our opinion. Reasonatle assurance is a high level of assurance, bLrt is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance wth ISAS IUKI will aways detect a matena misstatement ￿en it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if. individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably bè expected Its Influence the economic decisions of users tsken on the basis of these financial slalemenls. Irregularities, induding fraud, are instances of noTrcomFliance Y*ith laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilitie5, oudined above. lo detect matena mis51alemenls in respect of irregularitses, induding fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable ol deleeting irregularilieg. including fraud is detsiled bdow". Based on our understanding of the Trust and discussions with the Tnjstees, we considered that the rnost significant laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the financial statements are FRS 102, the Charities SORP IFRS 1021, the Charitie5 Act 2011, the Charits"e5 (Account and Reports) Regulation5 2008 and UK lax legislation. As part of the engagement team discussion about Ihe susceptibilty of the Trust's financial slalemenls lo material misststement due to fraud, we did not identify any areas %wth an increased risk. Our audit procedures were designed lo respond to idents.fied risks, induding non-comF4iance wlh laws and regulations and fraud. whith may have a materia effect on the financial statements. Our audit procedures included bul were not limited to". ' enquiry of the Trustees and review of any relevant correspondence wih legal advisers regarding any instances of non-comFliance wth laws and regulations and any actual. suspected or alleged fraud.. communicating identrfied laws and regulations and the risks of fraud Trmlh our engagement team and remaining alert lo any indications of n0￿CoMF11an¢e or fraud..

Owing to the inherent limrtations of an audit, there is an unavoidat4e risk that some material misstatements of the financial slalements may not be detected. even though the audit is properfy F4anned and performed in accordance wlh the ISAS IUKI. The potential effects of inherent limitations are particularty signfficant in the case of misstatement resulting from fraud because fraud may invc4ve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentstions or the override of intemal controls. The primary responsiblty for the P￿Ven￿"On and detection of irregularities induding fraud re51s with those charged wrth goveinance.
