In preparin8 th¢ financiat stst¢m¢Dts, the trustces are reswnsible for ass¢ssing the ¢harity's ability to wnlinu¢ as a going Conce disclosin& as applicable, matters related to going conGern and using the going concem basis of accounting unless the trustees either inta]d to liquidate the charity or to ¢ease operations. OF have no TlIst1¢ aitemalive but lo do Our rosponsibllities for the audit of the financial slatements We have been app)inted as auditors under Section 44(IK¢) of the Charities and Tstee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and report in accordance with the Act and r¢l¢vant regulaiions made or having effect thereunder.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarwllee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstst¢ment 'hen it exists. Misstaternents ¢an gris¢ fn)m fraud or error and are considered material if. individually or in the aggregale, they could reasonably be expected lo influence the economic decisions of us¢rs taken on the basis of these financial statements. The extent to whi¢h our procedures are capable of dctccting irregularities, including fraud is detailed b¢low.' We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the c(Jmpanv and the industy in which it operates and consid¢red the risk of by the ¢ornpany that were contrary to applithle laws and regul*ions, including frdud. We designed audit pmcedures to respond tr the risk, re¢ognising that the risk of not dete¢tin8 a materidl misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, 18 fraud may involve delibcrat¢ Concealment by, for exatnple, forgery or intentional misrepresentalions, or through collusion. We focussed on laws and regulation5 which could give rise to a mafrrial misstatement in tbe fall¢la1 statements, includin& bul not limited to, the Companies Act 2006 and UK t&x legislation. Our tests Included agreeing the financial statement disclosures underlying supw)rting documentstion eDquiries with management.

We did not identify any key audit matters relating to irregularilies, Including fraud. As in all our audits, we also addressed the risk of managcmenl override of internal ¢ontrols. including testing journals and evaluating whether ihere w&$ evidence of bias by the dircctors that represented a risk of mal¢rial mi&%tat¢ment due lo hud.
