error and aré considered material rf, individually or in the aggregate. they could reasonably be expected to influence

ALBERT STREET COMMUNITY CENTRE LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
TO THE MEMBERS OF ALBERT STREET COMMUNITY CENTRE LIMITED
Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities. including fraud
We identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements. whether due to fraud or error.
and then design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. induding obtaining audit evidence that is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
In idenlifying and assessing potential risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and
non-complian￿$ with laws and regulations. we considered the followtng:
The nature of the industry and sector, control environment and business perfonnance, including the
company's rèmuneration policies for directors, bonus levels and perfonnance targets, if any.
Results of our enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of
irregularities.
Any matters we identtfied having obtained and revi8wed th8 company's documentation of their policies and
procedures relating to:
Identifylng. evaluating and comptybng wilh laws and regulations and whether they were aware of
any instance of norlwcompliance:
Detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knob￿edge of any actual,
suspected or alleged fraud. and
The intemal controls established to mibgate risks of fraud or non-compliance with laws and
regulations.
The matters discussed among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in
the finanGial statements and potential indicators of fraud.
As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentiv8S that may exist within the company
for fraud and identified the great8st potential for fraud in revenue recognition. In common with all audits under ISAS
(UK), we are also required to perfom Speci￿ 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 prowsions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the deterniination of material amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context induded the
Companies Act 2006, and local tax legislation.
In addition, V￿ 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 to the ￿mpanY'S ability to operate or to avoid a material
penalty-

ALBERT STREET COMMUNITY CENTRE LIMITED

Audit response to risks identlfied
Our procedures to respond to the risks identified induded the following:
Reviewing the financial ststement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess
compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a dired effect on the
financial statements:
Enquiring of management Con￿mIng actual and potential litigation arKI claims,.
Perfoming analytical procedures to identtfy any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate
risks of material misststement due to fraud,.
Reading minutes of meetings of those tharg8d governance and reviewing correspondence with tax
authorities: and
In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls. testing the appropriateness of
joumal entries and other adjustments: assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting
estimates are indicative of a potential bias. and evaluating the buslness rationale of any slgntficant
transactions that are unusual or outside the nomial course of business.
We also communicated r8levant id8nbfied laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engag8ment team
members and remained alert to any indicatDns of fraud or nonwcornplianc8 laws and r8gulations throughout th8
audit.
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable rfsk that we may not have detected some
material misstatements in the financial statements. even though we have properly planned and perfonned our audit
in accordance with audiling standards. In addition. as viith any audit, there remains a higher risk of non-detection of
irregularities. as they may involve collusion, forgery. intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of
intemal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expecied to detect non-
complianGe with all laws and regulations.

1.5 Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to
third party. it is probable that a trdnsfer of economic beneffts will be required in setuement. and the amount of
the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is dassified by adivty. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and
shared costs, including support costs invobved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single
activity are allocated direclly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and
support costs which are not attributable to a single activty are apportioned beiween those activities on a basis
consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are all¢)cated on the basis of time spent. and
depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset's use.
Support Costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expendtiure on the objects of the charity.
Charitable activities and G0Veman￿ ojsts are costs incurred on the tharivs operations. including support
osts and costs relating to the govemance of the charity apportioned to tharitable activities.

proceeds and the carrying value of Ihe asset. and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
1.7 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporknng end date. the charity revIeV￿ the caryng amounts of tis tangible assets lo detemine
whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impaimient loss. If any such indication
exists. the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to detemiine the extent of the impaimient
loss lif any).

investments with original maturities of three months or less. and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown

Crftlcal accounting estlmates and Judgements
In the application of the chaiivs accounting policies. the trustees are required to make judgements. estimates
and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other
sources. The estimates and associated assumption5 are based on historical experience and other factors that
are considered to be relevant. Aciual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting
estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that
period, or in the period of the rewsion arKI future periods where the revision affects both current and future
periods.
Key sources of estimallon uncertainty
Fixed Assets - The annual depreciation charge on fixed assets depends primarily on the estirnated lives of
each type of asset and estimates of residual values. The directors regularly review these asset lives and
change them as necessary to reflect current thinking on remaining lives in light of prospective economic
utilisation and physical condition of the assets con￿rned. Changes in asset lives can have a significant
irnpact on depr8Ctation charges for the period. Details of the useful lives is induded in the accounting policies
abov8.
Debtors - Short temi debtors are measured at transaction pri￿. less any impairrnenL Impaiment of such
debtors involves some estimation uncertainty.
