In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, malters related to going concern and using the going onGern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditorfs responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are lo obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement. whelher due to fraud or error, and lo issue an auditorfs report that include5 our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance bul is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS {UK} will always detect a rnaterial misslatemenl when it exists. Misslalemenls can arise from fraud or error and are considered malerial 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. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below. Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of malerial misslalement in respect of irregularities including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows.. we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the charity through discussions with members and other management and Irom our commercial knowledge and experience of the sector., we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of members and inspecting legal correspondence. 1D

CAUSEWAY COAST AND GLENS HERITAGE TRUST LIMITED Chartered accountants INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF CAUSEWAY COAST AND GLENS HERITAGE TRUST LIMITED We assessed the susceptibility of the charity's financial statements to material misstatement, including oblaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by.. making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, Iheir knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud., considering the intemal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-complianoe with laws and regulations., and performing analytical procedures lo identify any unusual or unexpected relationships., reviewing journal entrie5 10 identify unusual Iransaclions., assessing whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias., investigating the rationale behind any significant or unusual transactions. In response lo the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedLJres which included, bul were not limited lo.. agreeing financial slalemenls disolosures to underlying supporting documentation., reading the minutes of meetings of those board of members- enquiring of management as lo actual and potential litigation and claims., reviewing legal coespondenCe. There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed law5 and regulations are from financial transactions, thè less likely it is Ihal we would become aware of non-compliancè. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the members and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Material misstalements Ihal arise due lo fraud can be harder lo detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
