Auditor's responsibilltles for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are lo obtain reasonable assurance about whelher Ihe financial statements 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 assurance is a high level of assurance bul is not a guarantee Ihal an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstalemenl when it exists. Misstatements 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 laken on Ihe basis of these financial statements. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below. 10- FOOTPRINTS WOMENS CENTRE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE MEMBERS OF FOOTPRINTS WOMENS CENTRE Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud We identify and assess the risks of material misslatemenl of the financial statements, whelher due lo fraud or error, and then design and perform audit procedures responsive lo those risks, including obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. In identifying and assessing potential risks of material misstalemenl in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliances with laws and regulalions. we considered the following.. The nature of the industry and sector, control environment and business performance, including the group's remuneration policies for directors, bonus levels and performance targets, if any.. Results of our enquiries of management about Iheir own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularilies., Any matters we identified having obtained and reviewed the group's documentation of their policies and procedures relating lo.. Idenlifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instance of non-complianTr', Delecling and responding lo the risks of fraud and whelher they have knowledge of any aclual, suspected or alleged fraud., and The internal controls established to mitigate risks of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations. g. The matters discussed among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial slalements and potential indicators of fraud. As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the group for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud in income recognition. In common with all audits under ISAS {UK>, we are also required lo perform specific procedures lo respond to the risk of management override. We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the group operates in, focusing on provisions of Ihose laws and regulations that had a direct effecl on the delerminalion of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statemenls. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the Companies Acl 2006, and local tax legislation. In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements bul compliance with which may be fundamenlal to the group and charitable company's ability lo operate or lo avoid a material penalty. 11 FOOTPRINTS WOMENS CENTRE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE MEMBERS OF FOOTPRINTS WOMENS CENTRE Audit response to risks Identified Our procedures to respond to the risks identified included the following: Reviewing the financial stalemenl disclosures and lesling to supporting documentation to assess compliance wilh provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements., Enquiring of management concerning actual and potential liligalion 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 wilh governance and reviewing correspondence with tax authorities- and In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of conlrols, testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjLtstmenls', assessing whether the judgements made in making accounling estimates are indicalive of a potential bias,. and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business. We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks lo all engagement team members and remained alert lo any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit. Owing lo Ihe 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 addilion, as with any audit, there remains a higher risk of non-delection of irregularities, as they may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresenlations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non- compliance with all laws and regulations. A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council's website at.. htips'.11 www.frc.org.uklauditorsresponsibililies.
