Auditor's responsibililies for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain Teasonabl¢ assurance about wh¢tli¢r the financial statements as a Nvhol¢ ar¢ fr¢e
from inaterial misstatement, wlietlier due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report tliat includ¢s our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee tliat an audit conducted in
accordance witli ISAS (UK) will always d¢te¢t a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatemenis can arise
froin fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in tlie aggrcgate, they could reasonably be
expected to influ¢i)ce tl)e economic decisioiis of users taken on tlie basis of these finan¢ial statements.
Explanation as to what Cxtcnt tho audlt was consldered capable of detecting irregularlties, including
fraud;
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design
proccdures in line witli our responsibilities, oullined above, to detect material misslatements in respect of
irregularitics, including fraud. However, tlje primary responsibility for tlie preveiition and detection of fraud
lies witli managcmcnt and tlie board of directors of Ilie charitable company.
Identifying and asscsslng potential risks related to irrcgularltles
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstateinent in respect of irregularities, including fraud and
non-compliance with laws and regulations, we coiisidered the following:
the nature of the iiidustry, sector and tlie specific control enviroiimeiit wliich it operates in.
tlie charities oivn assessinent of the risks that irregularities may occur, either as a result of fraud or error.
rcpresentations and results froin our enquiries with inanageinent and the board of directors regarding tlieir
own identification and assessment of tlie risks of irregularities.
enquiries of management relatiiig to accounting estimates measureinents, recognition criteria and justificatioii
ofsucli amounts;
aiiy matters we have identifi¢d Iiaving obtained and reviewed the Charities policies and pro¢¢dures relating
* identifying and asscssing if laws and regulations are compliant and whether they are aware of any instances
of non-compliance.
* detection and response to thc risk of fraud and whetlier they are aware of any actual, suspected or alleged
fraud iiistaiices.
* the interiial coiitrols designed to mitigate risks or fraud or non-compliance with law5 and regulations, and to
miniinise risk of Iraiiageirjeiit overrides of such controls.
all Inatters discussed ainoiig the audit engagement teain regarding how and where fraud could occur and the
poteiitial iiidicators of fraud.
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:

Ilie significant laws and regulations - those d¢scribed as having a dire¢t effect on the finanoial stat¢ments'
enquiring witli manag¢meiit and obtaiiiiiig third party confirn]ation from tli¢ Charities Solicitors regarding any
actual or potential litigation and claims;

of material Inisstatement due to fraud;
readiiig minutes of board and management meetings, examine forecastiijg material in line witli actual
perforinance, ideiitifying any potential fraud indicators or instances;
reviewing Compaiiies House and Charity Coinmission Nortliem Ireland correspondence, identify any late
submissions or omissions of mandatory infonnation.
review correspoiidence with 14MRC, identifying lion compliance of specific information to be disclosed.
in addressing the risk of fraud througli manageiiient override of controls, testii)g the appropriateness of data
entries aiid adjustinenls. asscssing wliether th¢ judgeinents made in making accounting estimates are indicative
of a potential bias. and evaluating the rationale of any significant traiisactions that are unusual or outside tlie
norinal coiirse of the Charities objectives.
We also cominunicaied relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engageinent
team mcmbcrs and reixained alert to any indications of fraud or noncompliance with laws and r¢gulations
tlirougliout tlie audit.
As part of an audit in aecordaiicc witli ISAS (UK), we excrcise professional Judgment and maintain
profcssional scepticisin tlirougliout th¢ audit. W¢ also.,
Identify and assess tli¢ risks of material misstatem¢nt of tlie financial statem¢nls, whether du¢ to fraud or
error, design and perforin audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our opii)ion. The risk of not detecting a Inalerial misstatemeiit resulting
from fraud is Iiigher thali for one resulting from error, as fraud iiiay involve collusion, forgery, intentional
oinissions, Inisrepresentations, or tlie override of internal control.
Obtain an understaiidiiig of iiiternal control relevant to tlie audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in Ilie circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on Ihe effectiveness of tlie
cliaritablc coinpaiiy's internal control.
Evaluate tlie approprialeness of accounting policies used and tlie reasoiiableness of accounting estimates and
relatcd disclosures Inade by the directors.
Conclude on tl)e appropriateness of the directors, use of the going concem basis of accounting and, based on
tlie audit evidence obtained, whetlier a maierial uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast
significant doubt on the cliaritable coinpany's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a
Inaterial uncertainty e.xists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures iii
the financial stateillents or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. 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.
