THE P(X)R'S LAND CHARITY
tNDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE CHARITY
Explanation as to what extent the audit W*S Considered capable of detecting irregularities,
Including fraud
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance aiKJuI whether the financial statements as a
whole are free from material misstatement. whether due to fraud or etror, and to issue an auditor's
report that ineludcs our opinion. Reasonable assurdnce is a high level of assurance, but is not a
guarantee that an audil conducted in accoTdance wilh ISAS (UK) will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered
material if, individually or in the aggregat4 they could Teasonably be expected to influence the

As part of audit in a¢cordance with ISAS (UK). w¢ ¢xercis¢ prof￿)Qnal judgment and mainlain

audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basi5 for our opinion. The risk of
not detecting a malerial misstatement resuliing from fraLtd is higher than for one resulting from
error. as fraud may involve Collusio￿ forgery. intenlional omissions. misrepresentalions. or the
override of internal control.
Obtain an uNJcrslanding ofinternal conlrol relevant to the audit in order lo design audit
procedures thal are appropTiale in the circumslaM. but noi for th¢ purpose of expressing an

estimates and related disclosur&% made by the directors.
Evaluate the overdll presentation. SIn￿l￿re and content of the financial statements, including
the disclosu￿$, and whether the financial statements rep￿sent the underlying transactions and
events in a manner that achieves fair presentstion.
We communic&te with tI￿e charged wilh Eoveman¢e r¢gardin& among oiher matters, the planned
scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings. including any significant deficiencies

THE P(X)R'S LAND CHARITY
tNDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE CHARITY
Explanation as to what extent the audit W*S Considered capable of detecting irregularities,
Including fraud
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance aiKJuI whether the financial statements as a
whole are free from material misstatement. whether due to fraud or etror, and to issue an auditor's
report that ineludcs our opinion. Reasonable assurdnce is a high level of assurance, but is not a
guarantee that an audil conducted in accoTdance wilh ISAS (UK) will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered
material if, individually or in the aggregat4 they could Teasonably be expected to influence the

As part of audit in a¢cordance with ISAS (UK). w¢ ¢xercis¢ prof￿)Qnal judgment and mainlain

audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basi5 for our opinion. The risk of
not detecting a malerial misstatement resuliing from fraLtd is higher than for one resulting from
error. as fraud may involve Collusio￿ forgery. intenlional omissions. misrepresentalions. or the
override of internal control.
Obtain an uNJcrslanding ofinternal conlrol relevant to the audit in order lo design audit
procedures thal are appropTiale in the circumslaM. but noi for th¢ purpose of expressing an

estimates and related disclosur&% made by the directors.
Evaluate the overdll presentation. SIn￿l￿re and content of the financial statements, including
the disclosu￿$, and whether the financial statements rep￿sent the underlying transactions and
events in a manner that achieves fair presentstion.
We communic&te with tI￿e charged wilh Eoveman¢e r¢gardin& among oiher matters, the planned

that there may be in the Charity's accounting procedures that a specific investigation might have
uncovered.
