AcfioN RENEWABLE5 IA COMPANY UMIYED BY GIJARANTE El ANNUALREPORT FOR THEYEAR ENDED 31 MAACH 2024 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS. REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ACTION RENEWABLES (Cont'd) Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with law5 and regulations, was as follows.. the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations; we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with directors andlor senior management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the sector., We focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, including Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation, data protection, anti-bribery, employment, environmental and health and safety legislation we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identlfied above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence., and identified laws and regulatlons were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non<ompliance throughout the audit. We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtalning an understanding of how fraud might occur, by.. makirsg enquiries of management as to where they considered there was suscaptibility to fraud, their knowledg8 of actual, suspected and alleged fraud,. and considering the Internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations., To address the risk of fraud through management bi8s and override of controls, we.. performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relatlonships., tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions- assessed whetherjudgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates set out In Note 2 were indicative of potential bias-, and investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactlons., In response to the risk of irregul8ritie8 and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedure5 which included, but were not limited to.. agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentalion; reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims., and reviewing correspondence with HMRC and the company's legal advisors; There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to Identify non<ompliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Material misststements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
