MISSION AFRICA (THE QUA IBOE FELLOWSHIP) IA Company Llmlted by Guarantee) INDEPENDENT AUDITORS. REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MISSION AFRICA (THE QUA18OE FELLOWSHIP) {CONTINUEDI Auditors. responsibilities for the audit of thè financial statèments Our obje¢tlv•s are to obtaSn reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a thole are free from malenal misstatement, vthether due to fraud or error, and lo issue an Auditors, Report that includès our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance. but 1$ not a guaiantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI wll always detect a material misstatement when il 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 fiaud. are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures In line wllh our r•sponslbllS1ies, oulllned above, to détect material misslatemenls in respecl of irregularities. including Iraud. The extent to thich our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below. Our approach to idenllfylng and assessing the rlsks of materlal misstatement in respect of irregularfties, Including fraud and non-compliance wlh law8 and regulations, was a8 follows. The engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence. capabilits.es and skills lo identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulallons. As part of the audit in accordance wlh ISAS IUKI we exercised professional judgement and maintained pfofessional scepticism throughout the audit. We Identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company Ihfough discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the sector and we focused on specific law5 and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the Company, includlng the Companies Act 2008, Chgrilles Act. taxation legislation and employment law. We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fiaud rnighl occur, by making enquiries of mana9emenl 88 lo ere Ihey considered there was susceptibilily to fraud, their knowledge of actual. suspected and alleged fraud and eonsidering thè internal controls in placè lo mitigate fisks of fraud and non4ompiiance th laws and regulation$. We obtained an understanding of internal controls relevant lo the audit in order to design audit procedures that were approprlale in the circumstances bul not for the purpose of expressing an opinion of the effectiveness of the Company's inlemal controls. To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls. we performed anal11 procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships; lested journal entries to identify unusual Iransaclions,, evaluated the approprialene$s of accounting policies used, including management's use ol the going concern basis ol accounting, and the reasonableness of accounting estimales and related disclosures made by management,. and investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions. In response to the risk of irregularities and noTrcompliance wth laws and regulations, designed procedures which included bul wefe not hmiled to agreein9 financial slalemenl disclosures lo undertying supporting documentation,. reading the minutes of meelin9s of those Charged with governance., and enquiring of managemenl as to actual and potential litigalion and claims. Because ol the inherent limitations of an audlt, there is a risk that we will not detecl all irregulartties, including those leading lo a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This fisk increases the more that compliance wth a law or regulation is removed from the events and Iran5aclions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likety to become aware of instances of non<ompliance. The risk 1$ also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresenlalion. A further des¢ription of our responsibilities for ihe audit of the financial statemenls is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at.. www.frc res onsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors, Report. Page 12
