free from material misslatement, whether due lo fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Direclors are responsible for assessing the Charity's ability to continue as
a going concern, disdosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going conc8m basis of
accounting unless thè Directors either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no

Audltorfs re•pon•lbllltle8 for the audit of the flnancial 8t•t•m•nt8
Our objectNes are to obtain reasonable aSSUTance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from
material misstaternent, whether due lo fraud or eTror, and to issue an auditorfs report that includes our opinion.

www.frc.org.uklauditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditorfs report.

FRIENDS OF THE CANCER CENTRE
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
TO THE DIRECTORS OF FRIENDS OF THE CANCER CENTRE
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstalement in respect of irregularities, including
fraud and non-compliance with laws 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 Ihe laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with directors andlor
senior management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of thé sector,.
We focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct materlal effect on the financial
ststements or the operations of the company, including Companies Act 2006, taxalion legislation, data protection,
anti-bribery, employment, environmental and health and Safety lègislation
we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations Identified above through making
enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence,. and
identified laws and regulation5 were communicaled within the audit team regularly and the team remained
alert to instances of non-cornpliance throughout the audit.
We assessed the 8U8ceptibllity of the company'5 financial statements to materlal misststement, induding obtaining
an understanding of how fr8ud might occur, by..
making enqulries of management as to where they considered there was 6USC8Ptibility to fraud, their
knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and
considering the Internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-cornpliance with laws and
regulations.,
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we..
performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships.,
tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions;
assessed whether judgements and assumplion6 made in detemiining the accounting estimates sat out in
Note 2 were indicative of potential bi8s,' and
investigated the rationale behlnd significant or unusual transactions.,
In response to the rlsk of irregularitles and non-compliance with laws and regulatlons, we designed procedures
which induded, but were not Ilmited to..
agreeing financial Statement di8closures to underlying supporting docum&ntation',
reading the minutes of meelings of those charged with governance.,
enquiring of management as to actual 8nd potential litigation and claims., and
reviewing correspondence with HMRC and the company's legal advisors.,
There are Inherent limitatlons in our audit procedures desuibed above. The more removed that laws and
regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-cornplian￿.
Auditing standard5 a150 limit the audil procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to
enquiry of th8 directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal Gorrespondence, if any.
Material misstalements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may
involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

Baslc flnanclal liabllltlas
Basic financial liabilities, induding creditor8 and bank loans are Inltially recogniséd at transactlon price unles8

In the application of the Charity's accounting policies, the Directors are required to make judgements,
estimales and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent
from other sources. Thè estimates and associaled assumptions are based on historical experience and other
factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and undertying a88umptlons are revIev￿d on an ongoing ba81s. Revisions to accounting
estimates a￿ recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised Whe￿ the revision affects only that
period, or In the period of the r8vision and future periods vthere the revlsion affects both current and future
penods.
Criti¢al judgements
Impaimient and depreciatlon
Long-lived assets comprising prim8rity of computer equipmenL The annual depreciation charge depends
primarily on the eslimated lives of each type of asset and, in ￿rtain circumstances, estimates of residual
valves. The directors regularly review these useful lives and change them if necessary to reflect current
conditions. In detemiining these usefijl lives management consider technological change, patterns of
consurnption, physical condition and expected economic utilisation of the assets. Changes in the useful lives
can have a significant impact on the depreciation charge for the financial year. The net book value of tangible
fixed asset5 subject to depreciation at the financial year end date was £1,286 (2024: £1.334).
