THE SOCIETY FOR THE ORPHANS AND CHILDREN OF MINISTERS AND MISSIONARIES OF THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN IRELAND INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE SOCIETY FOR THE ORPHANS AND CHILDREN OF MINISTERS AND MISSIONARIES OF THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN IRELAND A lurther description of our responsibililies is available on the Financial Reporting Council's website al.. hllps'.11 www.frc.org.uklaudilorsresponsibililies. Tliis description forms parl of our audilor's report.

Ihe engagemenl partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the approprlale compelence, capabililics and skills lo identify or recognise non-compllance wilh applicable laws and regulalions., we identified Ihe laws and regulations applicable lo the company through discussions with directors andlor senior management, and from our commercial knowlodge and exporionco of tho soclor,. We focused on specific laws and rogulalions whSch wo considered n)ay have a dlrecl malorlal glfocl on Ihe financial slalemenls or the operations of Iho company, including Companies Act 2006, laxalion legislation, dala protection, 8nli-bribery, employmonl, environmental and health and safely legislation we assessed thè exlenl of compllance wllh Ihe laws and regulalians Sdenlified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence., and Identified laws and regulallons were communicated wilhln the audil loam regularly and Ihe team remalned alert lo inslances ol non-compllan¢e Ihroughoul Ihc audit. We assessed the susceplibilily of Ilie company s financlal slalemenls lo material misslalemenl, including oblainSng an understanding of how Iraud might occur, by.. making enquiries of managenienl as lo where they consldered there was susceplibilily lo Iraud, their knowledge of aclual, suspected and alleged Iraud., and onsSdering the Internal controls in place to miligale risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulallons; To address the risk of fraud Ihrough management bias and overrlde of controls, we.. performed analyllcal procedures lo Idonlify any unusual or unexpecled rolalianships., lesled journal entries lo identify unusual Iransaclions., assessed whether judgements and assumptions mado in delerniining the accounling esllmalps sel oul In Note 2 were indicative of potential bias,, and invesligaled the rationale behind significant or unusual Iransaclions; In response lo the risk of irregularities and non.compliance wilh laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, bul were nol limited lo: agreeing financlal slalemonl disclosures lo underlying supporting documenlalion.. reading the minutes of moelings of Ihoso charged with governance., enquiring of managemenl as lo aclual and polonlial liligalion 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 regulalions are from financial Iransaclions, the less likely it is Ihal we would become aware ol non.compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to idenlify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the direclors and other management and the inspaclion of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Malerlal misstatements Ihal arise due lo fraud can bé harder lo delect than those that arise from error as Ihoy may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
