Independent Auditor's Report to the Trustees of The Churches of God In UK IA Company Limited by Guarantee {continued) Auditor's rosponsibilities for the audit of the financlal statements Our ot4gCtiv?s are to obtain reasonable assurance 8boul whether the financial statements as 8 whole we free from material misstalemenl, whether due lo fraud or error. and to ISSLE an auditor'5 ieport that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a hlgh level ol assuraTrGe, is not a guaraRlee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS {UKI will afways dele¢l a rnaterial misstatement whan il exlsls. Misslalements can arfse from frawl or error and are considered material if. indiwdu81ty or in the aggregal8, they could reasonably be expact8d to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial slalements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-cornpliance with laws and regulatlons. We design procedures in linè th our responsibillties, outlined above, lo det8Ct material misslatetn8nts in respect ol iri¢9ularities, including fraud. The $tIliC procedures for thi5 eroagemeTht and the extent lo whirh these are capable ol detecting Irregularities, inrluding fraud is detailed below. We rewewed the company's control and risk managernenl procedures and planned our work bssed on our assessment of those controls and prccedures", This revlew included an 8ssessrnenl of the risk of material rnisstatement due lo errors, fraud and managemenl overdde of controls for all Materi are8s in the final[al Statents,.

Comrnvnicalions with management and those ¢harged wllh govem8Trce regarding relevant matters was undertaken throughout the atjdil and on cornplelion. Because of the inherent Imnitations ol an audit. there is a risk Ihal we will nct detect all Irreglarit4eS, ineludrng those leading to a material misstatement in the financial slalements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that complrance with 8 law or regUlatn 15 removed frorn th? events and Irans2clions reflected In the financial stalemenls, as we will be less likdy lo becorne aw8re of IstanceS ol non£otnpliance. The risk 15 also greater regarding irregulafities crcurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves inlenli¢nal COnaent, foig6Yy, collusion. omi3sion or misrepre5entalion.
