In preparlng the financlal statements, the trustees are responslble for as8esslng the charity's ability to continue as a golng concarn, disclosing, as appllcable, matters related lo going concem and using the golng concern basls of accounting unless the Irustees elther intend to liquldate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic altemative but lo do so. Audltorfs re8ponslbllltles for the audll of th• Ilnanelal statem•nts Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from materlal mlsslatement, whether due to fraud or error. and to issue an audltor's report that includes our opinion. R8asonable assurance is a high level of assur8nce, but is not a guarantee that an aiidil conducted In accordance wlth ISAS {UK) wlll always detect a materlal mlsstatement when It exlsts. Misstat8menl8 Can arise from fraud or error and are considered materfal If, individually or in the aggr8gate. they could reasonably be expected to Influence the economlc declslons of users taken on th8 basis of these financial statements. Irregularltles, Including fraud, are Instanceg of non-compllance wlth laws and regulatlons. We deslgn procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, lo detect material misstatements in respect of Irreguladlles, including fraud. The extent to whlch our procedures are capable of detecling irregularities, Includlng fraud is detailed below. Because of the inherent Ilmltallons of an audit, there Is a risk that we will not detect all Irregularltles, Including thos818ading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non<ompliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compllance wlth a law or regulalion is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of Instances of non-compllance. The rlsk is also greater regardlng irregu18rities occurrlng due lo fraud rather than ern)r, as fraud Involves intentional concealmenL forgery, colluslon, omlss5on or mlsr6presentation. As part of an audll In accordance with ISAS (UK). we exercisa professional Judgment and maintain professional 5ceptlclsm throughout the audft. We also: Identlfy and assess the rlsks of matertal misstatement of the financ181 statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perfonn audil procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evldence that Is sufficient and approprlate to provide a basls for our oplnlon. The rlsk of not d8lecting a material misstalemenl resulting from fraud is high8r than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion. forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentatlons, or the overrlde of internal control. Obl8ln an underslanding of internal control relavant to the audit In ord6r to design audit procedur85 that are approprlate In th8 circumstances. but not for the purpose of expresslng an oplnion on the effectjveness of the intemal control.
