Singh Sabha London East Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Singh Sabha London East leoniinueL*) Year ended 31 March 2024 Auditor's responsibilltiès for thtt audlt of thg financlal statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance abwl whether the financial slalemenls as a whole are free from materi81 misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and lo issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS {UKI will always delecl a material misslatemenl when il exists. Misslalements can arise from fraud or error and ere considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected lo Influen the economiG decisions of users taken on the basis ol these financial statements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-complian wlh laws and regulations. We design procedLjs in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, lo dele¢l material misslalements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The exient to which our procedures are capable of delecling irregularities, including fraud is detailed below..

Vve gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable lo the charity operates and considered the risk of acts by the charity that were contrary lo applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. We designed audit procedures lo respond lo the risk. recognising Ihal the risk of not detecting a material misslalemenl due lo fraud is higher than the risk ol not delecling one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresenlalions, or through collusion. We focussed on laws 2nd regulations which could gnie rise to a material effect in the financial slal¢menls or the operations of the charity, Including, bul not limited to, the Charities Act 2011, Ch8rilies (Accounts and Reports Regulations) and the Charities SORP IFRS 1021. data protection and anli-money laundeting. Our lesls included agreeing the financial statement disclosuTes lo underlying supporting d(Kumenlalion and enquiries with management. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the fin8n¢i81 statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. Vve did not identify aT)y key audit mallers relating lo irglarItIes, including fraud. As in all our audits. we also addressed the risk of Management override of inlemal controls. including testing joumals and evaluating whalher there was evidence of bias by the trustees that represented a risk of of material Misslalemenl due lo fraud.

Identify and assess the risks of material misslalemenl of the financial statements, whether due lo fraud or error, design and perform audit prodUleS responsive lo those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not delecling a material misslalemenl resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting froTll error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order lo design audit proce(Jures that are appropriate in the circumstances, bul not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal Control.
