As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees. Responsibilities set out on page 6. the trustees are responsible
for the preparation of the financial slalements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. and for such
internal control as they determine is ne￿SSary lo enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from
material misstatement. whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements. the trustees are responsible for assessing the company's ability lo continue as a
going COn￿rn, disclosing. as applicable. matters related lo going coneern and using the going concern basis of
accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the company or lo cease operations, or has no realistic
alternative but to do so.
Auditorfs responsibilities for the audit of the financial ststements
Our objectives are lo obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financlal slalements as a whole are free from
material misstatement. whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditor's Report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assuran￿ is a high level of assurance. bul is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in aecoidance with
ISAS IUKI will always delecl 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 lo influence the
economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud. are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in
line with our responsibilities. outlined above, to detect material misslalemenls in respect of irregularities, including
fraud. The extent to which our prO￿dureS are capable of detecting irregularities. including fraud is detailed below..
There is an inherent difficulty in detecting irregularities during audit. However the effectiveness of entity's controls, the
nature and extent of audit procedures performed. gives us confidence in detecting irregularities
Further infonnation regarding the scope of our responsibilities as auditor
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAS IUKI. we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional
sceplicism throughout the audit. We also..
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the whether due lo fraud or error. design and perfomi
audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtsin audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate lo provide
basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecb'ng a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one
resulting from error. as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations. or the
override of internal control.
Obtain an understsnding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit protsdures that ale
appropriate in the circumstances. but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
company's internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of a¢¢ounting estimates and
related disclosures made by trustees.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees, use of the going ¢on¢em basis of accounting and, based on the
audit emdence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast
significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material
uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our Audilorfs Report to the related disclosures in the
financial statements or. if such discloslrres are inadequate. lo modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on
the audit evidence obtsined up to the date of our Auditor's Report However. futUTe events or conditions may
cause the the company to cease to continue as a going concern.
