Wishing Well Family Centre Company Limited by Guarantee Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Wishing Well Family Centre (contlnu•d) Year ended 31 March 2024 Audltor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statèments Our objectives are to obtain 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 auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guaranlee that an audit Conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstatement 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 taken on the basis of these financial statements. Irregularities, including fraud, are inslances of non-compliance with law5 and regulations. We design pro¢edures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.. In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following.. the nature of the industry and sector, control environment and business performance including the design of the remuneration policies, key drivers for directors, remuneration, bonus levels and performance targets., results of our enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities., any matters we identified having obtained and reviewed documentation of their policies and procedures relating to.. identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether managemenl were aware of any instances of non-compliance., detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether management have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud., the internal controls established to mitigate risks of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations. the matters discussed among the audit engagement team including significant component audit teams and relevanl internal specialists, including tax and valuations specialists regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud. As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud. In common with all audits under ISAS {UKI, 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 in operation, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included ongoing compliance with the UK Companies Act and tax legislation. In addition, we 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 for their ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. Wishing Well Family Centre Company Limited by Guarantee Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Wishing Well Family Centre (¢ontinued) Year ended 31 March 2024 As part of an audit in accordance with ISAS (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintaln professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also.. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not delecling 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 understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures Ihal are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees. Conclude on the appropriateness of Ihe trustees, use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audil evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability lo continue as 8 going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report lo the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audlt evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charity to cease to continue as a going concern. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal conlrol that we identify during our audit. 10 Wishing Well Family Centre Company Limited by Guarantee Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Wishing Well Family Centre (contlnuedj Year ended 31 March 2024 As explained more fully in the Trustees, Responsibilities Statement {set out on page 10), the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied Ihat they give true and fair view.
