Integrated Education Fund Company Limited by Guarantee Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Integrated Education Fund (continued) Year ended 31 March 2023 Responsibilitiès of trustees As explained more fully in the trustees, responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material mi55tatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable. matters related to going concem and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the Gharity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do 50. Auditor's responsibilitles for the audlt of the flnanclal Statements Our objects'ves are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether 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. but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a matenal mi5Statementwhen it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are Gonsidered 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 instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line wth our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent lo which our proGedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAS IUKJ, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also.. Identlfy 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 detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, inlentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Obtain an understanding of intemal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that 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. 22
