As a result of tliese procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the charity for fraud. The audit included assessing the procedure5 and evaluating tlie measurement of estiillations. In common with all audits under ISAS (UK), we are also required to perfom] specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override. We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory fraineworks applicable to the charity and considered that the most significant are the Coinpanies Act 2006, SORP 2019 (FRS 102) aiid Cliarities Act (Northem Irelaiid) 2008. Audit responses to risks identificd Our procedures to respoiid to risks identified included the following: Page 7

Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtaiiied up to tlie date of tlie auditor's report. However, future events or conditions inay cause the cliaritable company to cease to continue as a going concem. -Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial stateinents, including the disclosures. and wliether Ilie financial stateinents represent the underlying traiisactions and events in a Inanner that acliieves fair presentation.
