Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a 4 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 a financial statements. Irregularities, 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 irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: = Irregularities that result from fraud are inherently more difficult to detect than irregularities that result from error. z__| From enquiries of those charged with governance, it was determined that the risk of material misstatement from fraud was low with little scope for fraud to occur. Our audit testing is designed to detect material misstatements from fraud where there “3 is not high level collusion. “a Our audit testing was designed to detect material misstatements from other irregularities that result from error where there is = not high level concealment of the error. In this regard the following audit work was undertaken: applicable laws and regulations - were reviewed and discussed with management; senior management meeting minutes were reviewed; internal controls were a reviewed; and journals were reviewed. From this audit testing it was determined that the risk of material misstatement in this “a~ regard was low. We carried out income testing and grants payable testing which was designed to identify any irregularities as a result of simple “a mistakes or human error. From this audit testing it was determined that the risk of material misstatement in this regard was low. _ A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting ss Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities.

As required by FRS102, the Trustees are required to consider the effects of the time value of money on their multi| year commitments. Having done so, the Trustees are of the opinion that, in relation to the current commitments any adjustment is not material relative to the income of the Trust and therefore no discounting has been applied. | A provision for a multi-year award is recognised at its present value where settlement is due over more than one | year from the date of the award, there are no unfulfilled conditions and the effect of the discounting is material.
