In preparing the financial statements. the Governors are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability lo continue as a going7 conLern. disclosing, as applitable. matters related tts going concern and iisingi th¢ going concem basis of accouniingF unless the Trllstees ¢lth¢r inicnd io liquidate the charitabl¢ cornpany or to ¢a5¢ operarions, or have no realistic alternative but to do $0. Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of th¢ finanelal statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material rnisstatemeni. whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonabl¢ assurance is a higjl) level Lif assurance, but is not a gllardnt¢e that an audit condiicted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always deteci a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are coiisidered marerial if, IndividL￿lIY or in ihe a(t(tregate, Ihey could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of userg taken on the basis of these financial staiement5. The extent to which the audit wa5 considered capable of detecting irregularili¢5, including fraud Irregulariiies are instances of non-conipliance with laws and regjulations. The objectives of our audit are to obtain sulricieni appropriate alldii evidence i'ebjai'ding complianct with laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the detemiination of material ainoiiiits aiid disclosures in th¢ financial siatements. to perfom) aiidit procedures to help identity instances of non-compliance with other laws and regulations that may have a material effect on the financial statements, and to respond appropriaiely io identified or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulation5 ideiitified durin¥ Ihe audit. In relation to fraud, the objectives of our audit are io identify and assess th¢ risk of material missratement of the financial slateinents due lo fraud. to obiaiii sufficient appropriate audit evidence reuarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud through designing and implementing appropriate responses and to respond appropi'iately to fraud or su5PgCted fraud identified durinÉF the audit. However, it is the primary responsibility of management, with the oversighi of those tha￿ed with govemance, to ensure that tlie entity's operativns are conducied in accordance with the provisions of laws and renularions and for the preventloll 2nd detection of Iralld. In idenlilyiniT and assessing risks of material misstaiemeni in respect of i￿egularl11eS. including fraud, the audit enga¥einent team.. obtained an understanding of the nature of the sector. including the legal and reuulatory framework Ihat the cliaritable company operates in and how the charitable company is complyin. with the legal and regulatory framework; 12

Channing House Incorporated, Highgate inquired of management, and those Charged witli governance, about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularitie5, including any known actual. Suspected or alleged instances of fraud; discussed matters about non-compliance wtih laws and iegulatlOll5 and lTrow fraud might occur including ass¢ssiMent of how and where the financial statements may be susceptible to fraud. As a result of these procedures we consider the most siunificaiit laws and regulations that have a direci iinpaci on Ihe financial statements are FRS 102, Charities SORP (FRS 10?). Companies Aci 2006, Cliarities Act 2011 and the charitable company's tsov¢ming documeni. We perfomied audit procedures to detect iion-¢onipliances which may have a maierial impact on the financial statement5 which included reviewing the financial slareinenis the Governo￿, Report and remaining alert lo new or uniisual transactions which illay not be in accordance with the governing documents. The most significant laws and regulations Ihat have an indirect impact on the finaneial statements are The Education Ilndependent School Siandards) Regulations 2014, Keeping Childrell Safe in Education under section 175 of tlie Educaiion Act 2002, and Ihe UK General Data Protection Regulation {UK GDPRI. We perlormed aiidit procedures to inquirl of management and those Charged with governance wheth¢r the charitable company is in coinplian¢¢ with these laws and regulations and inspected correspondence with regulaiory authorities. The aud￿1 engag?emeni ieam id¢ntified the risk of manaiyenient override of controls a5 the area where Ihe rinancial statemenis were m05t Susceptible to material mi5Statem¢nt due to fraud. Aiidit procedures perfomied included bui were not liinited to iesiing manual journal entries and other adjustinents, evaluating Ihe business rationale in relaiion io significant, unusual transactions and transactions entered into outsid¢ the normal coutse of business and challenging judgments and estiniates.
