Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always detect a material misstatemenl when it exists. Misslalements 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 statements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedure5 in line with our responsibilities, outlined above. to detect material rnisslalements in respect of irregularities. including fraud.

As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organi5ation for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud. In common with all audits under ISAS (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override. We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks in operation, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direGI effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial slatemenls. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included ongoing compliance with the UK Companies Act and tax legislation. In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental for their ability to operale or to avoid a material penalty. 14 Orchardville Society Limited Company Limited by Guarantee Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Orchardville Society Limited (continuéd) Year ended 31 March 2023 As part of an audit in accordance with ISAS (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain piofessional scepticism throughout the audit.
