We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the charitsble company and considered that Ihe most signthcant are the Companies Act 2006. the Charities Act 2011. the Charity SORP. and UK financk41 reporting staThlards as issued by the Fin￿claI Reporbng CO￿¢11. We obtained an understanding of how the charitable company complie5 these requirements by discussions wilh managemenl and those charged govemance. We assessed the risk of materi81 misststement of the financial slalements, incluthng the risk of material misstatement due lo fraud and how it might occur. by holdiro discussions with management and those tharged govern￿te. We inquired of management and those ¢h8rged with g0veMa￿ as to any knovh) instsnces of non- compliance ￿ suspected nM-compliance wth laws regulations. Based on Ihis understanding. we deggned Specif￿ appropriate atKlit W0￿ureS to identify instances of non- compliance wllh laws aTrJ regulations. This included making gnquiries of management and those char98d th govemance and obtaining a(kJitional ¢wob￿ative ewdence as rgquired.

We are less likety lo become 8ware of instances of non-compliance with laws and re9ulalh)ns Ihat are not dosety relat￿ to events and transactions reflected in the financial stalemenls. Ajso. the risk of not delecting a material missiatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error. as fratjd may involve delibwate c(MKealment by, for example. forgery or intentional Mis￿PresentstIOns. or through colusion.
