Auditors, responsibilities foi. the audit of the financial statements Our objectives al'e to obtain reasonable assui'ance about whether the flnancial statements as a whole are free fi-om material misstatement, wliether due to fraud or e￿Or, aiid to issue a Report of tlie Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guai'antee that an audit conducted in accordaiice with ISAS (UK) WILI always detect a matei-ial misstatement wheii it exists. Misstatements cali ai'ise fi'om fraud or eLTor and al-e considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to iiifluence the ecoiiomic decisioiis of usei's takeii oll the basis of tliese financial statements. Because of the inlierent limitatioiis of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, lllcluding those leading to a material misstateinent in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the inore that compliance with a law or regulation is I'emoved from the events and transactioiis reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instaiices of non-compliance. The i'isk is also gieater regarding lll'egularities occuffing due to fraud rathei. than error, as fiaud involves intentional concealmeiit, forgery, collusion, omissioii or misrepA'esentation. Irregulai'ities, including fraud, are instances of non-coinpliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line witli our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in iespect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.. We obtained an undei'standing of the legal and i'egulatory framework that the Pareiit Chai'ity & Groiip operates in, focusing oil provisioiis of Iliose laws aiid regulations that had a direct effect on material amouiits and disclosures in the financial stateinents. The key laws and regulations we considei-ed in this context included the UK Companies Act, pensions and tax legislation, charity legislation together with pi'ovisioiis of otliei. laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial stateinents, but compliance with which may be fundamental to the Parent Chai'ity & Group's ability to opeiate or to avoid a material penalty. This included conditions of funding from various bodies.

In addressing the risk of fraiid through managemeiit override of contl'ols, we tested the appropriateiiess of jovmal entries and otlier adjustnients. assessed whethei. the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias. and evaluated the business rationale of any significant transactions that ale unusual or outside the nonnal course of business, of which thei'e were iione. In identifying ai)d assessing risks of material misstateinent in respect of irregulaiities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and i-egulatioiis, we coiisideied the following.. the natuie of tlie indiistty and sector, coiitrol envii'onment and business pei-fonnance including the Parent Charity & Group's remuiieration policies, and its intemal and external performance targets. results of our eiiquiries of manageinent and other key persoiis about the Pareiit Chai'ity & Group's own Identification and assessment of tlie risks of I￿egUlai.1tIcs, including those diat may occui- either as a i'esult of fraud or error, and matters we identified froin our review of tlie Parent Charity & Group's policies, procedures aiid internal controls. and the matters discussed amollg the audit engagement team regai-ding potential indicators of fraud aiid where it might occui. in the fInancial statements.
