How do wo work - Risk management The Trustees have delegated the review of the major rfsks lo the committees respon&ble for key areas. Each committee revi8WS the major risks using 8 risk assessment tool, whSch covers all areas of risk identified by the Charity Commission in their report 'Chariti8s and Risk Managèment, published in June 2010. This ensures that we do not overfook any main risks and makes Sure that vwe are consislenl about the way we look al each risk. Against each idenlifiod risk, the control measures that are in place are recorded and any further action required is id8ntified. The organisalion's senior management team Is responsible for taking any actions required by the risk assessment. The relevant project risks are 81s0 reviewed al eo Committee meets'ng and then reported into Board meetings so that it is a dynamic process. The main risks identified during the year have been: Risk lo reputation and business continuity due to a CQC inspection in July 2021 ￿lch rated the Supported Living SeNice Inadequate and raised c(*)cems aboLrt safeguarding. Covid 19 continuing through the year The increased National knving Wage, which increased the costs of providing support.

At the same time Coventry City Council pul a restriction on any new business for any ol the se￿1￿$ run by Life Path Trust (Supported Living, Day Opportunities and Short breaks). The restrictions on Colnmunity Opportunities and Short Breaks was lifted in November 2021 and are both fully operational wlh new referrals. Thè restrictions bul have been maintained in the supported living service Ihroughout thè r8St d the reporling period whilst Lif8 Path Trust worked to an action plan. The Trustees set up a weekly Risk and Re(xwery Committee and have continued to meet weekly to review progress on CQC actions with the CEO. Whilst there was negative reporting in the local press around the th'me of the CQC report bgng published in October this has not impacted in recrui1m8nl of new staff and all families have the c¢)portunity to engage wth the Trust about any concems.

The Tnjstees will continue to imF48ment the adion Pl￿ from the in(Jependent Safeguarding audit ensuring robust oversight. The CQC re inspeded the Supported Living SeNice on the 15th March 2021 and were nol satisfied wlh the ogress made. The CQC have therefore applied enIor￿Ment acti￿ lo the Supported Living Servie£ registration as the Service is still rated Inadequate and in special measures. The Trustees have made the difficult decision that despite the efforts made to improve Ihe service. in the light of enforcement adion and the difficult the operating dimate that Coventry City Council were asked to find a new provider for the Supported Living Servi￿. This deii$iM enables continuty of seNice to Cibzens of Life Path Trust and their families and employees. The Short Breaks service continues to b8 rated Good by the CQC and wlll continue lo be ddivered by Lrfe Path Trust. COVID-19 continued to present challenges during th8 reporbng period particulady in the maintenance of levels of staffing due to COVID.

A full record of actions taken at each stagg has been maintained by tho CEO and overseen by the Health and Safety Committee so that progress of kn'fe Path Trustioumey throughout the pandemic has been fully documented and evidenced. The Infection Control Grant {admiNslered by the Local Authoriliesl enabled employees who had to isolate du@ to the COVID regulations to be paid for the isolation. The Govemment Infection Control Grant also supported staff costs in relation lo testing and vacanalion. sin￿ late 2020, all employees including office- based staff are betng weekly PCR lesled and this segued into lateral flowtesling Iwce weekly. This ensures effective management of the scenarios around isolating and tracking. Life Path Trust follows Government Guidance for Supported Living and Residential Homes which is r8quir8d for the Supported Lwing and the Short Breaks Service respectively. LPT has worked effectively to support emtAoye8s and Citizens to gain ac￿SS to vacrynalion programmes with a high rale of uptake 97.8% of employees and 100% of Citizens have beén vac(inaled.

Page 11 LIFE PATH TRUST LIMITED REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022 Money- Major events The major events which remain oulslanding in 2021122 is the National Living Wage. the inability of the Social Care Sector Funding to increase fees in line wlh wage uplifts and the impact of staff sickness due COVID isolation. We continue lo recognise that financial prudency ha5 meant that the charity has funds on which to draw in challenging times and have claimed all grant support through the infection control fund to support additional costs of COVID. A bigger impact this year has been the loss of income when care packages have changed and Life Path has not been able to take on new pac*ages. This has had a substantial impact on losses incurred.

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 Practice). In our opinion the financial statements: - give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2022 and of the group's 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 and the Charities Act 2011. ## **Basis for opinion** We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards 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 group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities 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. ## **Material uncertainty related to going concern** We draw your attention to note 2 in the financial statements, which states that the trustees assessment of Going Concern is based on the presumption that the charity can extend its current planning permission and sell the land at the Walsgrave site. As a result of the uncertainty around these events, a material uncertainty exists which may cast doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a Going Concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect to this matter. **Crowe U.K. LLP is a limited liability partnership registered in England and Wales with registered number OC307043.

The other information comprises the information induded in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other infonnation and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any fonn of assurance conclusion thereon. 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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 our audit - the infonnation given in the trustees' report, which includes 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 directors' report included within the trustees' report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. ## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** In light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and charitable company and their environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors' report included within the trustees' report. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: - adequate and proper accounting records have not been kept; or - the 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; or - the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemptions in preparing the trustees' report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report. ## **Responsibilities of trustees** As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement page 14, 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 charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Page 16 INDEPENDENT AUDrroR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF LIFE PATH TRUST LIMITED Auditor's responslbllities for the audlt of the financlal statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the finanThal statements as a whole are free from material mi&8tstement, ￿ether du6 to fraud u error, and lo issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assur8nce is a high level of assuranc8. bul is not a guarantee that an a￿111 (y)n(Jucled in accordan￿ with ISAS IUKI will always detect a material misstatement when il exists.

Including fraud Irregularities. induding fraud, are instances of non-ccrfnpliance wth laws and regulations. We identified and assessed the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements from irregularities, whether due lo fraud or error, ond discussed these between our audit team. We then designed and perfomed audit procedures responsive lo those risks, indudlng obtaining audit evidence sufficient and appropriate to [￿VIde a basis for OUT O￿niGn. We obtained an un(krslaThJing of the legal end ragulakny frameworks ￿tIhIrt which the charitable company and gTOUP operates, focusing on those laws and regulations that hav8 a direct effect on the detemiin81ion of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The laws and regulations we (x)nsidered in this context were the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011. together with the Charities SORP IFRS 102). We assessed the required Complian￿ with th8s8 laws and regulations as part cl our audit pr(￿dureS on the related financial ststemenl items. In ￿ld1110n, we u)nsidered provist(Th of other lavts and rogulalions that do not have a direct effect on the finanL?al statements bul compliar￿e which might be fundamental to the charitatrAe company's and the group'sability lo operate or lo avoid a material penalty. We also rA)nsidered the opportunitiès and incentives that may exist within the charitable company and the group for fraud. The laws and regulations we considered in this contextforthe UK operationswere CQC Regulations forservice proviéers and managers, the Care Act 2014, COVID-19 ￿gUlations. General Data Protedion Regulation {GDPR}, Health and safety legislation, and Employment legi￿all0￿. Auditing standard5 limrt the required audit procedures to idenlify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry cl the Trustees and other management and inspection of r8gulalory and legal esporKlence, rf any. We identified the greatest risk of material impad on the finan(ial statements from irregularities, induding fraud, lo be within the recognition of income, and the override of controls by management. Our audit procedures lo respond lo these risks included enquiries of management, and the Finance Committee aboLrt their ovm identrficalion and a￿eSsMent of the risks of iThegularilies. substantive tssting on in¢xJme, sample testing on the posting of journals. reviewing accounting estimates for biases, reviewng regulatory correspondence ￿¥th the Charity Commis&on, and reading rrmnules of meetings of those d￿r9ed with goveman(*. Owng to the inl*renl limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable nsk that we may not have detected Jme material misststements in the financial statements, even though we have propedy ￿anned and perfomied our audit in attordance ￿llth auditing standards. For example, the further removed non- compliance wlh laws and regulations lirregularitiesl is from the events and Iransath'ons Tefieded in the finanaal slalements, thè less likely the inherently limite(J Pro￿dureS required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit. there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities. as these may invdve cdlusion, forgery. intentional omissions, misrepresenlalions. or the overTiée of intemal conlrds. We are not responsible for preventing non-com￿lan￿ and cannot ￿ expeded to delect non- compliance wlh all laws and regulations.
