Misslalemenls can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually 01 in the aggregate, they could reasonably bo expected lo influence the ewnomic decisions of users taken on the basis of the$0 financial Slalements. Irregularities, including fraud, are in$tsnce$ of non<omplian¢e with18ws and regulations. We d¢Sn Predre$ in line with our responsibilrti88, 0(rtlined above, lo detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities. induding fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detect(ng irregularities. including fraud is detailed beli)w'. We identified and as$es$ed the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements from irregularities, whether due lo fraud or error. and discussed these between our audit team members. We then designed and performed audit procedures responsive lo those risks, including obtaining audit eviden sufficient and appropriate lo provide a basis for our opinion. We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the School operates, focusin9 on those laws and regulation$ that have a dired effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial ststements. The laws and regumions we Considered in this context were taxation legislation, together with the Ch8rities SORP IFRS 102}. We assessed the required compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit pr¢xedur&8 on the related financial statement items. In addition, we considered provision$ of other laws and regulation$ that do not have a dired effect on the financial slalemenls bul wmpliance with which mi9hl b& fundamental lo tho School's ability lo operate or lo avoid a material penalty. The laws and regulations we considered in this context for the School operations were The Education Ilndependent School Slandafds) Regulations 2014, Health and Safety, General Data Protection Regulations, Safeguarding and Food Standards. Audrting standards limit the required aLtdit procedures to identfy non-compliance with these laws and regulations to Qnquiry of the Govemors and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, rf any. We Klenlffied the greatest risk of material impact on the finaneial statements from irregularities, induding fraud. lo be wf(hin the override of controls by management. Our audit procedures lo respond to risk of management overnde ineluded enquiries of management about their own idenlificalion and assessment of the risks of irregularities, sample testing on the posting of journals, reviewing accounting estimates for biases, reviewing regulatory corresponden¢e with the Chartty Commission and Independent Schools Inspectorate, and reading minutes of meetings of those charged wrth govemance. (Mng to the inherent limital¢ons of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial slalemenls, even though we have property planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the frther removed non<ompliance with laws and regulations lirregulariti8s} is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial slatemenls, the less likely the inherently lim(Éed procedures requirod by aL*diling standards would identify it. In addition, as wrth any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-delection of irregularrties, as these may involve collusion. forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of intemal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non- compliance and cannot be expected to deteel nonwcompliance with all laws 8nd regulations. Page11
