Reasonable assuTanc8 is a high18v81 of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audrt condud8d in accordance with ISAS IUKI will ahvays detect a material misstalemant when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are Gonsidered material rf. individually or in the aggregate. they ¢ould ?sonab be expected to influence the econom decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial slalements. Irregularitte8, including fraud, are instances of norkcompliance with Lgws and regUlatn$. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, o¥JUined above, to delect material misstatements in respect of irregularrtie5, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are ¢apable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detsiled below.. We (*)t8ined an understanding of the leg81 and regulatory requir8ments applicable to the society and considered that the most signfficant are the Companies Act 2006. the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 and Th& Accounting Direction for privat8 r8gist8r8d providers of social housing in England 2019.

The Abbeyfield Baslldon Soclety Llmlted Independent Auditorfs Report Year Ended 31 March 2025 We assessed the risk af material misstatement of the financial statements, including the risk of material misstatement due lo fraud and how Il might cccur, by holding discussions with management and thosè charg&J with governance. We inquired of management and those charged with governae as to any known instances of non- compliance or suspected non<ompliance with laws and reguLetions. Based on this understanding, we designed specific appropriats audit procedures to identify instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. Thi$ included making enquiries of management and those charged with governan and obtaining additional corroboratNe evidence as required. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all iegULaritieS, iluding those leading to a material misstatement in the financi81 statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or reguiation is rernov8d from the ev8nts and transaction8 raflactad in Ih&financial stalemenls. 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, collusn, omB5ion or wisrepresentalion.
