Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 10, the trustees are ���������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the prepara�����������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������
����������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
��������������������������������������������������������������������
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accord����������������������������������������������������������������������������
���������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to 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 (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the or in ag����������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� ������������������������������������

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the charity by considering, among other things, the sector in which it operates and considered the risk of acts by the charity that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. We designed audit procedures to respond to the assessed level of risk, but recognised that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.
����������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� statements, including, but not limited to UK Charity Law, the Companies Act 2006 and UK tax legisla����������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� mentation, enquiries with management and reviewing correspondence with the Charity Commission.
As in all our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including testing journals and evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by management that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and, the further removed non���������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� ments, the less likely we would become aware of it. We did not identify any key audit matters relating to irregularities, including fraud.
