We have nothing to report in respect of the followng matters in relation to vthiGh Ihe Charities (Accounts

Re5ponsibilitie$ of Irustees

responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satlsffied Ihat they give a true and
fair view, and for such intÈmal control as the trustees delorFnine is necessary lo enable the preparation of
ftn8ncial statements that are tree from material misstatement, whethei due to fraud or error.
In prepaiing the financial statements, the trustees are re$ponsible for assessing the charty's ability to
continue as a going ¢on¢em, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the
going ¢oncem basis of #ccounting unless the trustees èlther intend to liquldate the charlty or to cease
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do 80.
Auditor'$ responslbllltles for the audit of thè f￿anCIal stalemgnts
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the char￿e8 Act 2011 gnd report in accordanc¢
th Ihe Act and relevant regulations made or having effed thereundw.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance aboLrt whether the financlal statements as a whole are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that
indudes our opinion. Reasonable assurance 1$ a hith lovel of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in a¢¢or¢Jance wth ISAS (UK) will aknys detect a materiol mis5tatemenl when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered mateilal if, individually or In aggregate,
they could ieasonably be expeetod to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of
these flnancial statements.
Irregularities, includlng fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regLFlations. We de8ign

lffegularities. indudinu fraud. The extent to which our procedures are Capable of detecting irregularities,
including fraud 18 d¢taikd below..
Wè gained an undeislanding of the legal and regulatory hmework applicable to the ¢harity by
ctsnsidering, anwngst other things, the sector in which it operates. and considered the risk of acts by the
charity that were Gontrary to appli¢able laws and regulations, including fraud. We designed audit
proc&dures to respond to the assessed lèvèl of risk. but recognised that the risk of not detecling a
material mis51atÈmÈnt due to fraud is higher than the risk of not det¢¢ting one resulting from error, as
fraud may involve delibeTate con¢ealment by, for Èxample, forgery or intentional misrepre8enlallons. or
Ihi(sugh collusion.
We focused on laws and regulations which could give rise to a malerfal misstatement in the financial
statements. including, but not limited to UK Charity Law and UK ffinancial reporting $tand0rds appllcation
for UK charttable trusts.
Our tests included agreeing the f￿an¢s￿l slatement disdosurès to underlying supporting documentstion,
enquiries ￿ tnanagement and enquiries of the investment advisors.
As in all our audits, we also addressèd the risk of management override of inteinfjl controls, including
testing journals and evaluating whether ther8 was evidence of bias by management that represented a
rlsk of material misstatemènt due to fraud.
