A550ciation (Falkirk and Clockmonnan} {contSnved}
Audltoi's responsibilities IOT the audit ol the Ilnancial 5talemenls
We have been appointed as oudilor under section 4411 Ilcl ol the Charities ond Trustee
Investment (Scotlondl Act 2005 and under the CompaT)ie5 Act 2(K)6 and Teporl in
occordance wilh regulations made under those Acts.
Our objectives are lo obtain reasonoble assurance obout whether the linonciol slalemenls
as a whole ore free from materiol misslalemenl. whether due to fraud or error. and 10 155ue
an avdilor's report that inclvdes our opinion. Reasonable 05surance is a high level ol
assurance. bul is nol a guarantee that an audit conducted in occordonce wlh ISAS IUKI will
afvays detect o maleriol mi5slalement when it exists. Mi5slatemenls can 0ri5e from fraud or
error and are considered maleiial if. individually or in the oggregale. they could reasonably
be expected lo influence the economic decisions ol users laken on the basis ol these
finoncial slolements.
Irregulorilies, including fraud, are instances ol non-compliance with laws and regulalions. We
design procedures in line with our responsibilities. outlined above. lo delecl maleriol
mis5tatemenls in respect ol irregularities. including fraud. The specific procedures for this
engagement and the extent lo which these are capoble ol detecting irregulorities, including
froud is detailed below..
Snqvired ol management, and those charged with governance, about their own
identilicalion and Ossessmenl of the risk5 01 irregulorilie5, including ony known oclval.
suspected or alleged instances ol fraud..
The audit engagement team identified the risk ol management override of controls
as the orea where the finoncial slatemenls were most SU5ceplible to material
misslolement due lo froud. Audit procedures performed included bul were not
limiled to testing manual jovrnol entries ond other adjustments, evolualing the
business ralionole in relation to any significant unusuol Iran50ctions and challenging
judgements ond eslimale5.'
Reviewing minute5 01 meetings held by management and those charged with
governonce lo identify any matter5 including acluol or altempled Iroud, liligalion
and noncomplionce with lows and regulations-,
Inspecting expenditure incurred in the year while making sure this h05 been
oppropriotely colegorised in the financial slalemenls. Thi5 included agreeing a
somple from the nominol ledger lo purchose invoice while 0150 reviewing post yeor
end tran50clions and invoices to confirm the compleleness of the expendilure wos
disclosed.
Because ol the inherenl limilolions ol an audit. there is o risk that we ￿711 not delecl all
irregulorilies, including Ih05e leading lo a material misstotemenl in the financial slolemenls or
non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that complionce with a law or
regulation is removed from the events and Ironsactions ieflecled in the linonciol slolements.
as we wll be less likely lo become aware ol in5tonces ol non-complionce. The risk is also
greoler regarding iTregulorilies occurring due lo fraud rather than error. os Iroud involves
inlenlionol concealment, forgery. collusion, omission or misrepresenlalion.
