Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the ffinanual slalemenls as a whole are freè

AUDITORS. REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023
We evaluated management's incents"ve5 and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial slalements
{includin9 the risk of override of controls), and determined thal the principal risks were related to revenue
recognition, in particular in relation to recording income from donations and charitable ath"vrties in the correct
accounting per￿d and managemenl override of eonlrols. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team
included..
Inspecting corresp)ndence wlh regulalors.
Oiscussions with management including conside¥akn"on of known or suspecte(l inSt￿ceS ol non-
compliance with laws and regulab.on and fvaud".
Reviewing the Conlrds and procedures of the charity relevant lo the preparation of the financial
slalements to ensure these were in place throughout the year. including during the Covid-19 remote
working period.,
Reviewing debtors recovefaLK"lity wsl year end".
Reviewing managements decisions on bad debt,.
Reviewing post balance sheet events..
Evaluating management's controls designed lo prevent and detecl irregularities.,
Identifying and leskn.ng journals, in particular journal entries posted wth unusual account combinations.
posting5 by unusual users or wth unusual descriptions." and
Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their critical accounting eslimales.
Because of the inherent limilalions of an audil. there is a risk thal we wll not delecl all irregularities, includin9
those lèading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or nOn-comp￿18nce with regulation. This risk
increases the more that compliance a law or regulation is removed ftom the events and transactions reflected
in the financial slalemenls. as we wll be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is
also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than erior. as fraud inVo￿e$ intentional
concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

Reporting Council's website al. www.frc.or
