INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF
ST ALBANS AND DACORUM DAY HOSPICE
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of St Albans and Dacorum Day Hospice for the year ended
31 March 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash
Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting
policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law
and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial
Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted
Accounting Prattice).
In our opinion, the financial statements:
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2024
and of the charitable company's net movement in funds, including the income and
expenditure, for the year then ended.
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted
Accounting Practice. and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Stsndards on Auditing (UK) (ISAS (UK)) and
applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's
responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of
the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial
statements in the UK, including the FRCS Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical
re5pon5ibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have
obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees, use of the going concern
basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to
events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability
to continue as a going concern for a period of at least ￿e1ve months from when the financial
statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described
in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Trustees, Annual Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not
cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do
not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF
ST ALBANS AND DACORUM DAY HOSPICE
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with
the financial statements, or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially
misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are
required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a
material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we
conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report
that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
the information given in the Trustees, Annual Report (which includes the strategic report and
the directors, report prepared for the purposes of company law) for the financial year for
which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements. and
the strategic report and the directors, report included within the Trustees, Annual Report have
been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment
obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees,
Annual Report (which incorporates the strategic report and the directors, report).
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Att
2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
adequate accounting records have not been kept by the charitable company. or
the charitable company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records
and returns, or
certain disclosures of trustees, remuneration specified by law are not made. or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees for the financial statements
As explained more fully in the trustees, responsibilities statement set out on page 4, the trustees (who
are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible
for the preparation of the financial statements 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 statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable
company's ability to 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 to liquidate
the parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assuran￿ about whether the financial statements as a whole
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report
that includes our opinion. 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 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

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
taken on the basis of these 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 detetting
irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Based on our understanding of the group and the environment in which it operates, we identified that
the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to the Charity Act 2011,
Companies Act 2006, and the Fundraising Regulator, and we considered the extent to which non-
compliance might have a material effett on the financial statements. We also considered those laws
and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the
Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011, FRS102, Charities Statement of Recommended Practice
(SORP).
We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial
statements (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were
related to posting of inappropriate journal entries and management bias in certain accounting
estimates. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:
Inspecting correspondence with regulators and tax authorities.
Discussions with management including consideration of known or suspected instances of
non-compliance with laws and regulation and fraud.
Evaluating management'5 controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities.
Identifying and testing journals. and
Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their critical accounting
estimates
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all
irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-
compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is
removed from the events and transactions refletted in the financial statements, as we will be less
likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities
occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional
