Based on the work we have perfonned. we have not identified any material uncertainlies relaling to evenls or conditions that. individual ly or col lectively. may cast SlbFnificani doubi on the charily's abi lity lo continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when th¢ financial statements arc auihorised for issue.

In preparing the financial statemenls. the trustees are responsible for assessing the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing. as applicable. matters related to going concern and using the going concem basis of accounting unless ihe Irustees eiihcr intend io liquidate the charity or to cease operalions, or have no realistic aliLrnative but to do so. AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STA TFMENTS We have been appointed as audilor under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether ihe financial statements as a wholc are free from Inaterial misstatement. wheiher due to fraud or error. and io issue an audilor s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance wilh ISAS (UK) will always detecl a material misstatemenl when il exists.

UNITF.I) ANGI,0 CARIBBF.AN' SOCIF.TY UACS tNDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S RFPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF UNITED ANGLO CARIBBIAN SOCIETY UACS Irregularities, including fraud, are inslances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities. outlined above. to detect material misstalements in respect of Irregularities, including fraud. The extenl to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularilies, including fraud is detailed below: We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the charity and identified ihat ihe principal risk of non-compliance related to breaches of health and safely regulations including food safety. We considered the effecl on the financial stalements. due lo any non-compliance. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a dir1 impact on the financial statements, such as the Charities Act 201 l. We evaluated the risks relaled to the management's manipulation of accounting) enlries and accounting estimates, which could dir¢¢tly impact ihe financial stalements. Audit procedures performed included: discussions with Trustees, including whether ihey have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud. perforniing procedures to address ihe risk of management ovcrride. Our audil testing included complele populalions ofcertain transaLlions and balances. bul typically involved audit sampling and a selection of a limiled number of items for testing to enable us to draw a conclusion about the population from which the sample was selected. Reviewing grant conditions for any major non-compliance issues. Reviewing minules of Executive Committee meelings. Because of the inhereni limilations of an audit. there is a risk that we will not delect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatemenl in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulalion. This risk increases ihe more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from ihe events and iransactions reflected in ihe financial slatements. as we will be less lik¢ly io become aware of inslances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regiarding irregularities oCCu1ng du¢ to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intenlional concealment, forgery,, collusion, omission or misr¢pres¢ntalion. A further description ofour responsibililies for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website al: https://www.frc.org.uklOur-Work/Auditl/Audit-and- assurance/Standards-and-guidance/Standards-and-guidanLe-for-auditors/Auditors-responsibilities-for- auditlDescription-of-auditOfS-responsibilities-tor-audil.aspx.
