GREENFIELD SCHOOL (LIMITED BY GUARANTEEI INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS Our approach was as follows.. We identified areas of laws and regulation5 that could reasonably be Expected to have a rnaterial effect on the financial statements from our general sector experience. and through discussion with the Bovernors and other rnanagemènt las required by auditlng standards), and discussed with the governors and other management the policies and procedures regarding compllance with laws alld regulations IsÉe below)., We identified the following areas as those rn05t likely to have such an effect., health and safety.. General Data Protertion Regulation IGDPRI. fr3ud., bribery 8nd corruption, school inspectlons. D85 checks. employment law 3nd KÈepin8 Children Safe in Education under section 175 of The Education Act 2002. Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non<ompliance with the5e18ws and regulatlons to enquiry of the 8overnors and other man8gement and Inspettlon of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. The tdentFFied actual or suspected non-cornpliance was not sufflciently signiflcènt to our audit to result in our response being identified as a key audit matter. We considered the legal 8nd regulatory framework5 directly applicable to the financial 5tatement5 reportin8 framework IFRS 102, the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Att 20111 and the relevant tax compliance regulation5 In the UK. We considered the natt¢re of the charitable wmpany's operation5, the control environment and financial performance. We cornmunicated idEntified law5 and regulations throu8hout our team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throu8hout Ihe audit. We consÈdered the procedures and controls Ihat the charitable company has established to address risks identified, or that otherwise prevent, deter and detect fraud,. 2nd how senior management monitors those procedures and controls. Based on thi5 understandin8 we designed our audlt procedures to identify non-cormpliance with such laws and regulations. Where the risk was considered to be higher, we performed audit procedure5 to addre55 Each identified fraud risk. These procedures included-. testing manual journals,. reviewing the financial statement disclosures 3nd tE5tin8 to supporting documentation,. performing analytiC81 procedure5,' and enquiring ol management, and were desi8ned to provide reasonable assurance that the fin3n¢ial ststemÈnts were free from fraud or error. Owin8 to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is afi unavoidable risk that we may not have detected Some material mi5Statements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed Dur audit In accordance with auditing standards, For example, the further removed non-compliance with18ws and r8gulation5 lirregularitie51 is from the events and trans3Ctions reflected in the financial statements. Ihe less likely the inherently limited procedurE5 required by auditin8 Standards would identify it. The risk is a150 greater reBardinB irregularities occurrin8 due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional conce31ment, forgery, collusion. omi55ion or misrepresentation. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot bE expected to detect non- compliance with all laws and regulation5.
