REPORT OFTHE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF CHRIST COLLEGE BRECON FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024 Extent t? whl¢h the audit was considered capable of detertin8 irregularitles, Including fraud Icontlnuedl We obtain and update our understanding of the entity, Its activities, its control envtronment, and likely future developments, including in relation to the legal and regulatory fiamework applicable and how the enttty is complying with that framework. Based on th understandin8, we bdentify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financlal statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risk5, and obtain audit evidence that ts sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. This includes consideretion of the risk of aLls by the erntity that were contrary to applicable laws arsd regulations, Including fraud. In response to the risk of Irre8ularilie5 and non-cornpliance with laws and regulations, including fraud, we e5IEned procedures which intluded..

Because of the inherent Ilmitations of an audit, there is a rlskthat we will not detect all irregularftles, including those leadin8 to a material misstatement in the financial Statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance wrth a law or regulation 15 removed from the events and transactions reflerted In the financial statements. as we will be le55 likely to become aware of in5tantes of non- compliance. The risk of not detecting a Fnaterial m15Statement resulting from fraud Is hlBher than for one resultin8 from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omi55ioThs, mi5repfesentatlon5, or the override of internal control.
