Auditors, responsibilities for the audit of the flnan¢ial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial stslemenls as a whole are free
from material misslalement. whether due to fraud or error, and to iSSLJe an auditors. report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, bul is not a guarantee that an audit ¢onducted in
accordance with ISAS IUKI will always delecl a material misslalement when il exists. Misslalernenls can arise
from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be
expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial slalemenls.
Irregularities, including fraud, a￿ instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures
in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, lo detect material misstatements in respect of iiregularilies,
including fraud. The extent lo which our procedures are capable of delecling irregularities. including fraud is
detailed below..
Enquiries with management and those charged with govern8n¢e.
Reviewing financial slalemenl disclosures and testing to supporting documentation lo assess ¢omplian¢e.
Performing audrt work on the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and
other adjustments for appropriateness. evalu81ing the business rationale of significant transactions outside
the normal course of business and reviewing accounting eslimales for bias.
Carrying out subslanlive checking lo supporting documents on a sample basis of individual transactions
within the financial slalemenls.
Reviewing minutes of the council's meetings.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irr￿ularl11eS, including
those leading lo a material misslalemenl in the financial slalemenls or non-compliance with regulalirjn. This risk
increases the more th81 compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions
reflected in the financial slalem&nts, as we will be less likely lo become aware of instances of non-compliance.
The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves
intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAS IUKI, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional
scepticism throughout the audit. We also..
Identify and assess the risks of material misslalemenl of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error, design and perform audit procedures responsive lo those risks. and obtain audit evidence that is
sufficient and appropriale lo provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not delecling a material
misstatement re5ulling from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve
collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresenlalions, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of inlemal control relevant lo the audit in order lo design audit procedu￿$ that
are appropriate in the circumstances, bul not for the purpose of expressing an opinion ol the effectiveness
of the charitable company's internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the ￿aSonablenesS of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by the council members.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the council members, use of the going concorn basis of accounting
and. based on the audit evidence obtained. whelh¢r a material uncertainly exists related lo event5 OT
conditions that may cast signrficanl doubl on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going
concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainly exists. we are required to draw attention in our
auditors. report lo the related disclosures in the financial statements or. if such di5elosures are inadeqLJate,
lo modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the dale of our
auditors. report. However, future events or conditions may Cause the charitable company lo cease lo
continue as a going concern.
Evaluate tho overall presentation, structure and content of the financial slalemenls, illcluding the
disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a
manner that achieves fair presentation.
