Autism Plus Limited
Independent auditors, report to the members of Autism Plus Limited Icontlnued)
Audit procedures perfomed by the engagement team induded..
Oiscussions with management and those responsible for legal compliance procedures within the
charitable company to obtain an understanding of the legal and regulalory framework applicable lo the
charitable company and how the charitable company complie5 Wlth that framework, inclLtding
consideration of known or suspected Instal￿eS of nonaojmpliance vthh laws and regulations and fraud.
Reviewing minutes of Trustee meetings..
Identifying and assessing the design effeclNeness of conlrols that management has in place lo prevent
and delecl fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations-,
Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their 5ignFficant accounting
estimates.
Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any journal entries posted with unusual account
combinations or posled by senior management.
There are inherent limital¢ons in the audit wocedures described above and the more removed non-compliance
with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions refiected in the financial slalemenls, the less likely
we are lo become aware of it. Also. the risk of not detecting a materi81 misslatefflenl due lo fraud is higher than
the risk of not delecling one resulting from eThor. as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example,
forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through c(Alusion.
