Report to the Members of The House of Wic41yn Trust Limited (continued) Responsibilities of Trustees As explained more fully in the Trustees, Responsibilities Statement, the Trustees {who are also the directors of the charitsble company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and ft)r being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such intemal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement. whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements. the Trustees are responsible for assessing the Charitable Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing. as applicable, matters related to going concem and using the going concem basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic altemattve but to do so. Auditors, responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors, Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will aNvays detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misslatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial ststements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities. ouuined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularFties, including fraud is detailed below.. We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frarnework applicable to the Charitable Company and the industry in which they operate. and considered the risk of ads by the Charitable Company that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. We considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the Company for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud in the following areas: management override of controls and fraud risk relating to income. We designed audit procedures to respond to these risks, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may invO￿e deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion. Our audit procedures included." enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of risks of irregularities, testing the design and implementation of controls relating to the risks. sample testing of journals posted during the year. income cut off testing and agreeing income to underlying supporting third paty doGumentation. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a rrsk that we will not detect all irregularities. including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-complian￿ with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reftected in the financial statements, as we will be less likety to become aware of instances of non
