ROYAL COLLEGE OF MIDWIVES TRLIST INDEPENDENT AUDITORS, REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ROYAL COLLEGE OF MIDMVES TRUST {CONTINUEDI Audltors. responsibilities for the audit of the financlal ststements We have been appointed as auditor under sedron 44(11(c) of the Charities arKI Trustee Investment (Scotlandl Act 2005 and urKler the CpanIeS Act and repryt in xcordance wlh the Act and relevant regulaligns made or having effect thereunder. Our objecknves are lo obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misslalemenl, whether due to fraLKI or error, and to issue an Auditors, Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assuran is a hh level of assurance. but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will aayS delect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise frorn fraud or error and are considered material rf. Indivua1ty or in the aggregate, they coukl reasonabty be expected to infiuence the ewnomic decisions of users taken on the basis of these finanoal stalerrenls. Irregularities, induding fraud, are instsnces of non-compliance th laws and UatiOnS. We design procedures in line wrth our responsibilrties. outlined above, lo detecl material misstatements in respect of irregularities. including frau¢J. The extent lo which our procedures are capable of detecting iffegularities. including fraud is detsited belch¥. Based on our understanding of the company and industry. we hlenlffied that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to industry seclor wulalions and unethical and prohibrted business practices. and we considered the extent to which noncompliance might have a mater1 eff1 on the financial 5talemenls. We also conSided those l&vs and regulab'ons that have a direct impad on the prepar8tk?n of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006. Charities kt 2011. Charity Commission and sector regulalions. and UK Tax Legislation. We evaluated managemenl's inntIVeS and opportunitie$ for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of ntrOl$). Appropriate audit procedures in response to these risks were carried out. These pr(tedu$ induded" Discussion5 management, including consm1eratn of known or suspected instances of noncomplian¢e with laws and gUlatn and fIal., Reading minLrte$ of meetings of those charyed with g0veman. Obtaining and reading correspondence from legal and reguJat(wy bodies including HMRC,. 1denlify.tng and testing joumal entries., Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their signfficant accounting estimates. We also communicated levant entIffied laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement leam members., and remained alert tt) any indtionS of fraud or nort<ompliance wrth L$ and regulations throughout the audlt. There are inherent limitatKJns in the audit procedures described above and the further removed non-compliance th laws and regulions is from the events and transactions flected in the financial ststemenls, the les5 likèly we would become aware of ((. Also. the risk of not detecting a material misststement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulkn'ng from error. as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example. forgery or inlenlional misrepresentatTons. or through collusion.
