RESPONSIBTLITIES OF TRUSTEES
As explained more fully in the TTuslees' Siatement of RestK)nsibilities, the Trustees (who are 3150 the Directors of the
charitable company for the purEK>ses of company law) are responsible for the pieparnlion of the finaTbcial statements
and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control 85 the trustees detemine is
necessary lo enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatemen( whether due to
fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements. the tnjsl￿S are responsible for assessing the group's ability to contfrnue a5 a
going wneern, disclosing, as applicable, matteTS related io going concern and using the going concem basis of
accounling unless the etther intend to cease operations. or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
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 cOtnpa￿Y 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 eXt￿t 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.

PIiESERVATION TRUST LATrUTED {CONTIDIUbD)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Itl response t() the risk of irregularities aDd non-compllance with laws and regidations. including fraud. we desigDcd
procedures which included:
Enquiry of tnanagement and those charged with governance around actual and w)tential litigation md claims
as well as actual. suspected and alleged fraud.
Testing key Fevenue stream, in parlicular Cut-off and recognition of grdllt funding. for evidence of
management bi&8 or fraud.
Assessing the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations considered to have a direct material effect
on the financial statemcnts or the operaiÈons of the entity through enqutry and inspection.
R¢viewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with
applicable laws and regulations.
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 ove￿Ide of internal control.
A fvrther description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial

liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired is recognised as goodwill. The cost of the combination includes the
estimated amount of contingent consideration that is probable and can be me&8ured reliably, and is adjusted for
¢hang¢s in contingeTrt Consideration after the acqui51tion date. Provisional fair values recogttised for business
cornbinations in previous periods ar¢ adjusted retrospectively ftir final fair values d¢t¢rmined in the 12 months

transactions between group companies are eliminated on cotL801idation. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless
the transa¢tion provides evidence of an impairnient of the asset transfe￿.
