Responsibtlities of trv5tse5
As explained more fvlly in the statement of trustees, responsibilities, the trustees, who are also the directors of the
charity for the purpose of cornpany law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and foi being
satisfied that they give a true and fair view. and for such internal 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 slalements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable: matters related to going concern and using the going
concern basis of accounling unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditorfs responsibilities for the audit of the flnancial statements
Our objectives are to oblain 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 auditols report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance
wtth ISAS {UK) will always detect a material misstalemenl when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or
error and are considered material if, individualty or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence
the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial ststement5.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularitie5, including fraud, is detailed below.

TO THE MEMBERS OF MAINSTAY DRP
Extent to whtch the auditwas considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
We identify and a55ess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due lo fraud or error,
and then design and perform audit procedures responsive lo those risks, including obtaining audit evidents that is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our Dpinion.
In identifying and assessing potential risks of material misslatement in respecl of irregularities, induding fraud and
non-compliances with laws and regulations, we considered the following..
The nature of the industry and sector, control environment and business perfomance, including the
company's rernuneration policies for direclors. bonus levels and perfornian￿ targets, if any.,
Results of our enquiries of management about their own identification and asse5srnent of the risks of
irregularilies.,
Any matters we identified having obtained and reviewed the company's documentation of their policies and
procedures relating to..
Identifying, evaluating and complying wilh laws and regulalions and whether they were aware of
any Instan￿ of non-compliance.,
Delecling and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual,
suspected or alleged fraud., and
The internal controls established to mitigate risks of fraud or non-compliance with laws and
regulations.,
The matters discussed among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might OCCUT in
the financial statements and potential indicators of fraud.
As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the company
lor fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud in revenue recognition. In common with all audils 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 that the company operates in, focusing
on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounls and
disclosure5 in the financial statements. The key laws and regulaticns we CDn5idered in this context inclLtded the
Companies Act 2006, and local tax legislation.
In addition, we Gonsidered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on Ihe financial
statements but Gompliance with which may be fundamental to the company's ability to operate or to avoid a mateTial
penalty.

TO THE MEMBERS OF MAINSTAY DRP
Audit response to risks identified
Our procedLtres to respond to the risks identified induded the following..
Reviewing the financial statément disclosures and testing Io SLtpportiny documentation to assess
Gompliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the
financial statements.,
Enquiring of management conceming actual and poterslial litigation and claims.,
Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate
risks of material misstatement due to fraud.,
Reading minutes of meetings of those charged with govemance and reviewing correspondence with tax
authorities.. and
In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls. testing the appropriateness Df
journal entries and other adjuslments.. as5es5ing whether the judgements made in making accounting
estimates are indicative of a polential bias. and evaluating the business rationale of any significant
transaclions thal are unusual or outside the nomal course of business.
We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team
members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the
audit.
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may nol have detected some
material misstatements in the financial statements. even though we have properly planned and performed our audit
in accordance with auditing standards. In addition: as with any audit: there remains a higher risk of non-deteclion of
irregularities. as they may involve collusion, forgery, inlenlional omissions. misrepresentations, or the override of
inlemal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-
complian￿ with all laws and regulations.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council's website al.. htlps'.11
www.frc.org.uklaudilorsresponsibilities. This descriplion forms part of our auditor's report.
