SCOTTISH MINING CONVALESCENT TRUST INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF SCOTTISH MINING CONVALESCENT TRUST Re5ponsibilitie5 of Trustees As explained more fully in the slalement of Trustees. responsibilities, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial stslemenls and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial ststemenls that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the Charity's ability ID continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend lo cease operations, or have no realislie altemalive but to do so. Auditorfs responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements We have been appointed as auditor under section 4411 Ilcl of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotlandl Act 2005 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. Our objectives are lo obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial stslemenls as a whole are free from material misslalemenl, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that in¢ludes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can 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 slatemenls. The extent to which our prO￿dureS are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below. Extent to which th8 audit was capable of datecting irrngularitias, including fraud. We considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and identrfied the greatest potential for fraud in the followng areas." existence and liming of recognition of income, posting of unusual journals along with complex transactions and non-compliance with laws and regulations. We discussed these risks with management, designed audit procedures lo lesl the timing and existence of revenue and tested a sample of journals to confirm they were appropriate. In addition, we reviewed areas of judgement for Indi￿lOr$ of management bias to address these risks. We identified areas of laws and regulations that Could reasonably be expeded lo have a material effect on the financial statements from our sector experience through discussion with the officers and other management las required by the auditing standards). We reviewed the laws and regulations in areas that directly affect the financial slalements induding applicable charity and company law and considèred the extent of compliance with those laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial slalemenl items. With the exception of any known or possible non-compliance with relevant and signifi¢anl laws and regulations, and as required by the auditing standards, our work in respect of these was limrted to enquiry of the offi￿r$ and management of the charity. We communicated identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks throughout our team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance or fraud throughout the audit. However the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with the trustees. Owing lo the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misslatemenls In the financial slalements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing 5tandard5. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected lo delect non<ompliance with all laws and regulations. These inherent limitations are particularly significant in the case of misstslemenl resulting from fraud as this may involve sophisticated schemes designed to avoid detection, induding deliberate failure to record transactions, collusion or the provision of intentional misrepresentations.
