Soci21 Investments
The bo¢ial value of our work goes beyond individual oul¢omes. By providing timely and compassionate suppo¢ we
help rcduce the strain on etnergency scrvi¢es, prevcnt long-lerni homclessness, and increase CCODomic and so¢ial
participation.
Our intcrventions create safer, more connccied eomtllunities and support the long-terni Iransfomiation of people's lives.
Research by Crisis shows that back in 2012, homelessness in England alonc was costing pllblic se￿I¢¢S an estimated £1
billion per year, an atnount projected to be al least £1.35 billion in tuday'8 money, given infialion and rising demand.
In additior4 supportiJig a single person sleeping rough for a year Cost the public purse around £20,128 #t the timc-a
figure that would now equate lo &pproximately £27,000 per person.
If ive ivere lo use the figure and muliiply tELC
hon]elcss nuinbers we have supported (500), il ivould mean that tor the hornele%s services alonc we are potentially
reducing a signjficant proportion of the £13,500,000 homelessness costs to the public purse in West Nurthamptonshire.

Our responsibilitips for the. 211dit of the financial statements
Our objectives are t(1 obtain re￿Onable ￿S￿an¢¢ about whetber the fu￿1¢111 statements & a whole are free from
material misstatemenL whether due to fraud or etror, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurancc is a high level ol asS￿anCe, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance
with ISAS (UK} will atways detect a material misstatcmcnt when it exists. missta1e￿ents 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 fmancial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irreguLaritLes, including fraud is detailed below..
Because of the Lnherent limitatiolls of an audit, there ig a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including
Il]ose leading to a rllalcrial misstatement in the fmancial statements in the fmancial statenLenls or non-compliancc
with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliauce with a law or regulation is removed from the
events and tsallsactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances
of non-compliance. Th¢ risk is <ilso greater regarding I￿egUlarl12eS OCCU￿￿ng due lo fraud rather than error, as
fraud involves intentional coneealmenl, forgery, collusion. omission or misrepresentatiojj.
Irregularities, including fraud, are iThslances of non-complianee with18ws and regulations. We de8ign procedures
in line with our respoDsibilities, outlined above, lo detect mal¢rial misstatements in rtspect of irregularities,
including fraud.
The extent to Nvhich our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
