Respomlbll￿les of Twsteesfor the financlal statements
As explained more fully in the Trusree's responsibilities statement set out on page 4, the Trustees are responsible for the
preparatlon of the financial 5t3tements and for being sat15fied that they give a twe and falr view, and for Such internal
control as the Trustees determine is ￿e¢￿Sary to enable the preparation of financial statements that arefree from material
misstatement, whether dueto fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessin8 the charity's ability to continue as a goln8
concern. disclosin8, a5 applicable, matters related to EOin8 concern an(1 using the going concern basls of accounting unless
the Trustees either intend to liquidate the chaiity oi to cease operations, or have no realistic alternatlve but to do.
Audltoe5 re5ponsibilitle5 for the audlt of thefinanclal statemeffits
Our objettives are to obtain reasonable assurance abovt whether the financial statements as a whole are free from
rnaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to Issue an auditor's report that includes our oplnion.
Reasonable assuran￿ is a hi8h level of assurante but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance wlth ISAS
IUKI wlll alway5 detert a material mis5ratement when it exists. MisllatemÈnts can arise from fraud or error and are
considered material if, individually or in the a88re8ate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users on the basis of th￿e financial statements. Irregularities, includin8 fraud. a￿ 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
irreeularities includinE fraud is detailed below.
Based on our understanding of the charity and the ￿VironMent in whith It operates, we identified that the principal risks of
non-compliance with laws and regulations related to the reBulatory framework applicable to re8i5tered charities. and we
considered the extent to which non-complian￿ mi8ht have a material effect on the financial statements. We also
considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financlal statement5 such as
Charitie5 Act 2011 and otherfartors such as raxation.
We evaluated management's Incentives and opportuniries for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements
Ilncluding the rlsk of override of controls) and detem)Ined that the principal risk was related to manual accounti nglournals.
Audit procedures perforrned by the engagement team included..
Dlscussions with management including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-coM￿lance with
laws. regulation. and fraud,.
Evaluating rnanagernents controls designed to prevent and detert irregularities..
Identifyin8 and testing controls, in ￿rtiCUlar joumal entrie5 Posted with unusual accoynt cornbinatiolls F¥JStin8S
by unusual users or with unusual descriptions.,
Inspectin8 correspondence with re8ulators and tax authorities.. and
Challen8in8 assumptions and jud8ernents rnade by rnanagernenl in their critical accounting estimates.
BetaU5e of the inherent limitation5 of an audit. there 15 a risk that we wll not detect all irregularitie5, including those
leadin8 to a material misstatement in the flnanclal statements or non-compliance with regulation. ThSs risk increases the
more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactSons refleued in the financial
statements, è5 we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The rfsk Is also greater regarding
irre8ularities occurrin8 due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery. collusion,
OrnIS5ion, or misrepresentation.
A further descrSptlon of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting
Council's website at.. www.frc.or8.uklauditorsresponsibilities. This descriptron forms part of our auditor's report.
