Responsibilities of trustees As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees. Responsibilities. the trustees (who are also the directors of the chaiitable company for the purposes of comparny law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for beinu satisfted that they give a true and fair view. and for such iRternal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial staletnents that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparino the financial statements, the trustees are responsible lor assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a goiThtt concern, disclosing. as applicable, matters related to ooing concem aThd using the going concern basis of accountinir unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Our responsibilities for the audit of the financi21 statenients Oui- objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whetlier the fLTrancial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement. whether due to fraud or error. and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Keasonable 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 Tni55tatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or tn the aggregate. they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAS, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throuohout the audit.

PRS Patton Rainey I Stenson Limited CHAflTEkED ACCOUNTANTS REGISTERED AUDITORS REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MIMBERS OF ELY CENTRE-THE We obtain an understanding of the company, the industry it operates in and the legal and reoulatory framework that the company operates within. We focus on the piovisions of these laws and regulations that have a direct effect on material amounts 2nd disclosures in the financial slalements. The key laws and reoulations we considered in this context included the UK Conipanies ACL Pension, TaK and Healtli and Safety Legislation, tooether with provisions of other laws and reoulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial stalements, but compliance witli which may be fundamental to the company's ability to operate or avoid a material penalty. We tailored our response to these identified risks to include enquiry of manatseTnent and external le(ral advisors concernintt actual and potential litioation and claims, performinLV analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate the risk of material misstatement due to fraud or otlier irregularities. Furtlier we reviewed the correspondence with HMRC and other reoulatory bodies. In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and adjustmeDts, assessed whether the judoements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a poteDtial bias. Further we evaluated the business rationale of any sionificant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of bustness. There are inherent limitations ITh the audit procedures described above. We are less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance with laws and regulalioiis that are not closely related to events and transactions reflected in tile financial statements. Also. the risk of not detectin(r a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not dctecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve delib¢rale concealn]ent by. for example, forgery or intentional tnisrepresentations, or through collusion.
