AtrDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMEIYTS Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement5 a whole are free from material mi5StatemenL whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditorf5 reporl that ftnclud¢s our opinion. Reasonable a9surance is a high level of &8surance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in 8ccordance with ISAS (UK) will always delect a material misstatement when it exists. Mi55tatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if. individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these fJnanci&l statements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulation5. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities. outlined abov4 to detect matcrial misstatements in respect of irregulartties. including fraud. The extent io which our procedures are capable of detecting iTregulArities, including fraud, is detailed below. As part of our planning process.. We erAquired of management the systems and controls the cOtnpaY and group h&£ in place. the areas of the financial statements that are mostly susceptible to the risk of irregularities and fraud. Mnd whether there was any known, suspected or alleged fraud. Management did not inforni us of aDy known, suspected or alleged fraud. We obtained an understsnding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the company and group. We determined that the following were most relevant to the fm3ncial statements: Companies Act 2006, CharÈties SORP FRS 102 & guidanGe given by the Charity Commission England & Wales. We considered the incentives and opportunities that exist in the company and group, including the eXtt of managetuent bias. wFLich present a potential for irregularities and fraud to be perpetrated, tailored our risk L8sessment accorditkgly. Using our knowledge of the group. together with the discussioD5 held with tnawement at the pla[Ing stage, we formed a conclusion on the risk of mi55tatemeut due to irregularÈties including fraud and tailored our procedures according ti) this risk assessment. 14-

Perf0rn7ing audit work over the risk of management bi&g and override of controls, including iesting of journal entries and vther adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business ralional¢ of significaTJt transactions outside tbe nomial wurse of business and reviewing accounting estimates for indicators of potential bias. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial tT8nsactions, the less likely it is that we would bewme aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards 8150 lirnit the audit procedures r4uired to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and- other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. The risk of not detecting a material misstaternent resulting from fraud is higher than one resulting from ¢TTor, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentstTons. or the oveIde of internal control.
