detai￿￿ bekiw".
Our approach lo identifying and assessing the risks of material mis5L*emenl in respect of irregularities. including
fraud and non<ompliance with laws and regulations. was as follows..
the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence,
capabililies and skills lo identfy or recognise non<ompliance with applicable laws and regulaltons.,
we identified the laws and ￿gUlationS applicable to the charitable company through discussions with
management. and from our knowledge and experience of the education sector.
we obtained an understanding of the legal and re9ulalory framework applicable lo the charitable company
and h¢)W the charrtable company is complyng with that framework"
we obtained an understanding of the charrtable company's policies and procedures on compliance with
law5 and regulations. including documentation of any instances of non-compliance..
we identified which laws and regulalions were signfficanl in the context of the charrtable company. The
laws and regulations we considered in this corhtext were the Companies Act 2006, the Charrties Act 2011
and taxation legislation. We as5e55ed the required compliance with these laws and regulations as part of
our audit procedures on the related financial statement rtems.
in addilK*n. we considered provisions of other laws an¢J regulalion5 that do not have a direct effect on the
financial statements but compliance wilh which might be fundamentsl tts the charitable company s abilrty lo
operate or to avoid material penarty such as compliance wrth the Independent School In5peclorale and
Otsted." and
identified laws and regulats.ons were conynunicated wrthin the a￿lt team regularly and the team remained
alert to instances of fton<0m￿laftce thfoughout the aydiL
We assessed the susceptibilty of the charrtable companls financial statements lo material misstalernent,
including obtaining an understanding of how ffaud might occur, by".
making enquiries of management as lo where they considered there was susceplibilily lo fraud, their
knowledge ol actual. suspected and alleged fraud,. and
considering the intemal COntr￿S in pl￿ to mitwale risks of fraud and non-compliance wrth Eaws and
reguialions.
To address the risk of fraud Ihrough Manage￿Al ￿'aS and override of controls. we.,
tested journal entries lo identrfy unusual transaclions,"
assessed whether judgements and assumplions made in delemiining the accounting estimates Sel oul in
the accounling policy were indicatNe of polenlial bias. and
invesloaled the rationale behvid S￿n￿can1 or unusual transactions.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulalions. we designed procedures
which included, but were not limite¢J lo".
agreeing financial statement disclosures lo undety.ng supporting documenlalion..
reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with goveman¢e",
enquiring of management as to actual and polenlial litigation and claims.. and
reviewing correspondence relevant regulators and the charitable company's ￿31 advisofs.
Theie a￿ inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and
regulations are from financial transactions. the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance.
Auditing standards also limrt the audrt procedures required lo identfy non<ompliance with laws and regulations
to enquiry of the Govemors and olhei management and the inspection of regulalory and legal correspondence. if
