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.
Irregularltles. including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design
procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of
rregularities, including fraud. The extent to whlch our procedures are capab18 of detectlng Irregularities,
including fraud, is detailed below,

We identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the flnancial statements. wh8ther due to fraud or
error, and then design and perform audit procedures responsive to 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 misstatement in ￿SpeCt of irregularities, including fraud
and non-Gompliances with laws and regulations, we considered the following..
The nature of the industry and sector, control environment and business performanc8, including the
Association's remuneration policies for directors, bonus levels and performance targets, if any.,
Results of our enquiries of management about th8ir own identification and assessment of the risks of
irregulari118S',

of any instance of non-compliance.
Detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have and knowledge of any
actual, suspected or alleged fraud., and
The internal controls established to mitigate risks of fraud or non-compliance with laws and
regulatlons.
Th8 matters discussed among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might
occur in the financial statements and potential indicators of fraud.
As a result of these procedures, we consldered the opportunitles and incentlV8S that may exlst within the
Association for fraud and identified the grealest potential for fraud in revenue recogn ition. In common with all
audits under ISAS (UKI, we also perform specific procedure5 to respond to the risk of management override.
We also obt3ined an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the Associalion operates in,
focusing on provisions of those law5 and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material

to avoid a mat8rial p8nalty.

material misslatements in the financlal statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our

detection of irregularities, as they msy involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or
the override of internal controls. We ar8 not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be
expected to detect non-complianc8 Wlth all laws and regulations.
