Matters on which we are required to report by oxcoptlon
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities {Accounls and Reports)
Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion..

suffici8nl accounting records have not been kept., or
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns.. or
we have not received all the information and explanations wo require lor our audit.
Re8pon81bllltle8 of tru8to89
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees, Responsibilities, the trustees are responsible for the
preparation of the financial statemènts which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the
trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financigl statements that are free from material
misstatement. whether due to fraud or 6rror.
In preparing the financial statéments, the Iruslees ar8 r&sponsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue
as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern
basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to c8ase operations, or have no
realistic alternatlV8 bul to do so.
Our re8ponslbllltle8 for tho audlt of the fSnanclal Statements
We have been appointed as auditors under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with
the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objeotives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole ar6 free
from material misstalemenl, whether due lo fraud or error, and to issue a Rèport of the Independent Auditors that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assuran￿, but is not a guarantee that an audit
conducted in accordance with ISAS {UK) will always detect a material missla16menl when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error 8nd are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they
could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on thè basis of these financial
slalements.
The extent lo which our procedures are capable of delecling irregularities, including fraud is delailtrd below..
Based on our understanding of the company and the business sector in which rt operalos, we identified that the
principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to those laws which have a direct impact on
the preparation of the financial stalemellts. such as the Companie5 Act 2006 and tax legislation.
We evaluatod management'5 Opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the
risk ol override ol conlrolsl, and determined that the principal risks were related to posting inappropriate journal
entries and invoices to manipulate financial re5uIIs.
Audit prO￿dureS included discussion5 Wlth management, togelhor with identifying and testing invoices and
journal entries posted with unusual account combinations,
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above, and the further removed non-compliance
wlh laws and regulations is from events and transactions reflected in the financial slatements, the less likely we
would become aware of rt. Also, the risk of not detecting a material fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting
one resulting from error, as fraud may be deliberate concealment by, lor example, forgery or intentional
rnisrepresenlations, or through collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial
Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uklauditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report
