INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF
THE SIR EDWARD LEWIS FOUNDATION
Our assessment of the susceptibility of the charity's financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur, is considered to be low. This conclusion was reached after the consideration of the following:
-
due to the relatively simple business model and low number of transactions within the charity there are comparatively few unexpected fluctuations in the reported results and balances and any such unexpected items would be specifically enquired into by us; and
-
there are a number of individuals which comprise "management" and therefore there is no single individual who is likely to be able to override controls to effect a fraud.
We designed our audit procedures to respond to identified audit risks, including non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) that are material to the financial statements. Some of the specific procedures performed to detect irregularities, including fraud, are detailed below:
-
the review of control accounts and journal entries for large, unusual or unauthorised entries;
-
the analytical review of the detailed statement of financial activities for variances that are either unexpected or felt not to be in accordance with our understanding of the charitable activities during the year;
-
obtaining and reviewing for completeness a list of entities and persons considered to be related parties (as defined by Financial Reporting Standard 102) and reviewing the ledgers of the Charity for previously unreported related party transactions;
-
review of transactions and journals for any indication of fraud or management override; and
-
review of Trustees' meeting minutes for unrecorded transactions.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to 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.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
Use of this report
This report is made solely to the charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's Trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's Trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
