Audltor's r•spon$lbllitio8 for th• audlt of th• financlal stat•m•nts
Our objectives are lo obtain reasonable assurance about whether the finano81 stalemenis as a whole are
free from rnaterial misstatement. whether due to fraud or error. and to issue an auditorfs report that includes
our opinion. Re850n8ble assurance is a high level of assur8nce, but 15 not a guarantee that 8n audit
conducted in aocordance wilh ISA5 IUKI will alway5 detect 8 material mi$5tatement when it exists.
Misstatements can aristr from fraud or error and are considered material rf, individualty or in the aggregata,
they could reasonably be exp￿@¢1 to influènce Ihè economic decisions of users takèn on thè basis ol thesè
financial statements.
The exient to whith our pr(Kedures are capable of delethg irregularrbes, induding fraud is detailed below..
88s8d on our understanding of the charity, w8 Klentsfi8d that the prinopal risks of non-compli8nc8 wrth laws
and règulations related to empk)yment and finanual reporting legislation and wè Considerèd the extent to
which non-compliance might have a material effect on the finanaal statements. We also considered those
laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the finanaal statements such as the
Companies Act 2006 and Charitie5 Act 2011.

Church Society
Independent auditor's report to the members on the
audited financial statements of Church Society
We assessed the Suscepty'￿'llty of the o)mpanYs financial statements lo material misstatement. including
obtaining an understanding of how fraud might ¢)ccur, by wnaking enquiries of management, considering the
Int8rnal controls in plac8 and discLJSSion amongst th8 engag8rnent team. W8 determined that the principal
risks were related lo the allocation ol transactions related to ￿S￿l¢le￿ funds aThJ valuation of freehold and
investment properties.
In response to the risks identified we designed prc*xdures which induded, but were r￿t limited to..
tesb'ng the allocation of transactions to re5trided fvrhys
reviewing Trustees and Finance meeting minutes
evaluats'ng the charty's intemal control$
challenging signifi¢ant acc￿ntIng estimates such as valuation of investment property
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above. The rnore removed that laws and
regulations are from finanoal transactions. the less likely it is that wewould become aware of non-compliance.
Material misstatements that arise due to Iraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as
they may involve deliberate rDncealment or collusion.
A further des¢ription ol our ￿spOnSibl11t1*S for the audit of the finan¢ial statements is I{)cat￿ on the Financial
