We made enquiries of management to understand Ihow the company is cornplying with its legal and regulatory
oblioations.
We read the board minuies to deterniine whether any fraud or non-compliance had been identified by the company.
W¢ evaluated the susceptibility of the financial stateTnents to material mtsstalement and discussed with management
the areas where we believed the risk of fraud may be higher and what procedures are in place to prevent or detect fraud
or non-compliance.
We reviewed manual Journal entries for any unusual postings.
We performed tests in areas where significant accountints esÉimates and judgments are made to assess their
rea50nablenes5.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to
a material misstatement in the financial staternents or non-compliance with regulation. This risk inLieases the more that
compliance with a law or regulation is retnoved from the events and transactions reflected in the financial stateTnents. as we will
b¢ l¢ss likely to become aware of initances of non-compliancc. Thc risk is also greater regarding irre¥ularities oc¢urring due to
fraud rather than error, as fraud Involves intentional concealment. forgery, collu5i0n, omission or misrepresentation.
A5 part of an audit in accordance with ISAS IUK) we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional 5ceplicism
tliroughout the audit. W¢ also:
Identify and assess the risks of rnaterial misstatement of the financial strtements. whether due to fraud or error, design
and perforni audit procedures responsive to Ihose risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misststement resulting from fraud is higher than
for one resulting from error. as fraud may involve collusion. forgery. intentional omissions, misrepresentations. or
the ovcrride ot internal control.
Obtain an undcr5tanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
charitable company's internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosure5 rnade by the trustees
Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees. use of the .
oing concern basis ofac¢ounting and. bas¢d on the audit
evidence obtained. whether a mxterial uncertainty exists relaied to events or conditions that may east significant
doubt on the charitable company's ability to continuc as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty
exists. we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to tjie related disclosures in the financial statements
or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence
obtained up to th¢ date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charitable
company to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content ofthe financial Statements. including the disclosures. and whether
the financial STaiemenL5 represent the underlying transactions and evcnts in a thtit a¥hi¥v¢s f4'1il Pl¥b¢ntiltioTh.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding. among other matters. the planned scope and liming of the audit
