Auditor's responsibilities for the audlt of the f1nanclal statements Our objectives are to obtain re(isonable dssurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from matcrial missiatcinent, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Rcasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, Ihey could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Explanation as to what extent the audlt was consfidered capable of detecting irregularltles, Including Irregularities, including fraud, arc instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect malerial misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. However, the primary re9ponsIbl11tY for the prevention and detection of fraud lies with management and the board of directors of the charitable company. Identifying and assessing potential risks related to Irregularltles In idenlifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities. including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following: the nature of the industry, sector and the specific control environment which it operates in; the chitIe.% own u%8essment of the risks that irregularities may occur, either as a result of fraud or error: represcntations and results from our enquiries with management and the board of directors regarding their own identification and assessment of the risks of Iegular1tIes. enquiries of management relating to accounling eslimates measurements, recognition criteria and justification of such aniounts. any matters we have identified having obtaÉned and reviewed the charities policies and procedures relating to. * identifying and assessing if laws and regulations are compliant and whether they are aware of any instances of non-compliance. * deteclion and response to the risk of fraud and whether Ihey are aw(¢ of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud instances: Page 7
An Gaelaras Limited (A Company Limited by Guarantee) * the internal controls designed io mitigat¢ risks or fraud or non-¢omplian¢e with laws and regulations. and to minimise risk of management oveffides of such controls. ull matiers discussed among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud could occur and the potential indicators of fraud. As a re¥•ult of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and Èncentives that may exist within the charity for fraud. The audit included assessing the procedures and evaluating the measurement of estimations. In common with all audits under ISAS (UK), we are also required to perfonn specific procedures to respond to the ri8k of managemeni override. We also required an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the charity and considered that the most significant are the UK Companies Act 2006, SORP 2019 (FRS 102) and Charities Act (Northcrn Ireland) 2008. Audit responses to risks identified Our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following: reviewing the financial statement disclosures, testing the relevant docurnentation to assess compliance with the significant laws and regulations - those described as having a direct effect on the financial slatements: enquiring with management and obtaining third party confirmation from the charitable company's solicitors regarding any actual or potential litigation and claims. perforIning analytical procedures to identify dny unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misslatement due to fraud; reading minules of board and management meetings, examine forecasting mat¢rial in line wilh actual performance, identifying any pocential fraud indicators or instances; reviewing Companics Housc and Charity Commission Northern Ireland correspondence, identify any late subinissions or omissions of mandatory information: revicw correspondcncc with HMRC, identifying non compliance of specific inforniation to be disclosed: in addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of data ¢ntri¢s and adjustments; lls4essing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a polential bias. and evaluating the rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of the charitics objectives. We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remuined alert to any indications of fraud or noncompliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAS (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve colluskon, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresenlations, or the override of internal conlrol.

Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors, use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern.
