Audltor's rvJponslbllltl•s for th• audlt of the flnanclal $tat•ments
We have been apwnled as audbtor under section 151 01 the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance
with the Act and relevant regulations made or haviThJ effe¢l thereunder.
Our objeGtives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whelhef the financial statements as a whole are
free from material rnisslalemenl. whether due to fraud or error. and lo issue an auditor'5 report that
includes our opinion. Rèasonable assurance is a hwJh level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an
audit ￿ndU¢l&d in accordance with ISAS (UK) will a￿ayS dolect a material misstalemenl when il exists.
Misstsl¢monl$ can arise from fraud or error and are ¢onsid6r6d material rf, individually or in the aggregalo,
they could reasonably be expected lo influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of
these finan¢lal statements.
Detall$ of the extent to which the audil was ¢onsNl8red capabbe of detecting irrngularities, including fraud
ond nonwcomplianc& wilh laws and regulati￿$. are set CMJI below.
A further do$¢riplion of our responsitH'lrties for the audit of Ihe financial slaternenls Is located on the
Financial Reporting Council's website at.. www.frc.org.uklaudilorsresponsibililies. This dfrscriplion forms
part ol our auditor'$ roport.
Extent lo whl¢h th• audlt was consldered ¢APab￿ of detectlng Irrogularltl•8, Includlng
fraud
1rre9ularil￿S. including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws an(1 regulalions. We identified and
assesse(J the risk$ of material misstatement ol the financial statements from irregularities, whether due lo
fr8ud or orror. and discussed these between our audit team members. We then designed and performed
audit procedures ￿SponSive lo those risks, in¢hJding obtaining audft evidence suffi¢ient and appropriate lo
provide a basis for our opinion.
We obtsined an understanding of legal and regulatory frafTwffjrks wthln which the Charity operates,
focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amoun18
and discbsures in the financi81 slalemenls. The laws and regulations we considered in this context for the
UK operations were the Charities Act 2011. Ic#3ether with the Charities SORP {FRS10212019. We
assesse(J the required compliance Ihese laws and regulations as part of our •udil procedures on the
related financial statements.
In addilion, we considered provisions of other kws and fegulatK)ns that do not havè a direct effect on the
financial slatémenls but compliance wlh which might be fundamentsl lo the charity's ability to operate or to
avoid a material penatty. We also considorod thè opportunrties and incentives that may exist within the
Charity for fraud. The laws and re9ulalions we considered in this context for the Charity were Char
Commission regulations. Auditing standards limit thè required audit procedures lo identify non-compliance
with these laws and regulations lo enquiry of the Trustees and other management and inspection of
regulatory and legal correSwnder￿e. if any.
We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial slalements from irregularities, Including
fraud, to be wtthin the recognition ol donation income and the override of ￿ntrOl$ by management. Our
audit procedures to reswnd to these risks included enquiries of management about their own identification
and assessment of the risks of irrggulartties, reviewing accountirwJ estimates for biases and reading
minutes of meetings of those charged wrth govemance.

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF ST MARY'S SCHOOL ASCOT CHARITABLE FUND** 

Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non­ compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non­ compliance with all laws and regulations. 

## **Use of our report** 

This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
