THE HINDU TEMPLE TRUST INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE HINDU TEMPLE TRUST Responsibilities of tTUSteès As explained more fully in the statement of responsibilities, the trustees tIU5tees are responsible lor the preparation of the financial statements and for being sat15fied that they giv@ a true and fair view. and for such intem31 control as the trustees determine is necèssary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are frÈÈ from material misstaternent, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial sl8lements, the trustees are Fesponsible for assessing the charity's ability to ¢ontinue as a going concern. disdosing, as applicable, m8tters relaied lo going coneem and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend lo ￿ase (yerations. or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Audlttsr's responsibilities for thè audit of the financial statements Wè have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charth'ès Act 2011 and rèport in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or hawng effect thereunder. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurancè about whether the financial statements as a whole are frèe from materi81 misstatement. whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our -pinion. Reasonable assurance is 8 high level of assurancè bul is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISA5 IUKI will alway5 deteet a material misstalemenl when it exists. Misslalements can aris& from fraud or error and are considered m8terial if, individually or in the aggregate, they could re8sL>nably be expe¢ted ',0 ii-,luen the economic dèt15ions of vsers taken on the basis of these financial statements. The e*tènt lo which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, induding fraud, is detailed below. Enquiry of trusteès and those charged with goveman¢e as to aelual and potential11(igation and claim5. Enquiry of trustees. compliance fundions and roles lo identify any instances of non-compliance witl laws and regulations.

Because of the inherent limit8tions of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all ir￿gU58r1ties, including those leading lo material misstatemènt in thè finaneial statemènts or n(>n-complianTr with regulation. This risK in.c" i eases the more that Complian￿ with law or iegulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of n0￿cOMpliance. The .'isk .s also greater regarding irregulaiilies oc¢urring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional corncetslment. forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresenlalion.
