ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including
the Financial Reporting Council's Elhical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in
accordan￿ with these requirements. We believe Ihat the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclu51ons relatSng to golng 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
condition5 that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Group's or the parent chantable
company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least ￿e1ve months from when the financial
slalements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees wth respect lo going concem are described in the
relevant sections of this report.

Auditors. responsibilities for the audil of the financial statements
Our objectives are lo obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole a￿ free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors, Report thal includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee thal an audit conducted in
accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstalement when il exists. Misstatements can arise
fram fraud or error and are considered material if. individually or in the aggregate. they could reasonably be
expected to influence the economic decisions ol users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities. including fraud, are instances of non-compliance wilh laws and regulations. We design
procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect materlal misstatements in respect ol
irregularlties, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities,
including fraud is detailed belaw..
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities.
including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows..
the engagement partner ensured Ihat the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence.
capabilities and skills lo identify or reGognise non<ompliance with applicable laws and regulations,,
we identified the laws and regulations applicable lo the company through discussions with directors and
other rnanagement, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the company and sector in
which it operates.,
we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on
the financial statements or the operations ofthe charitable company, induding the Companies Act 2006,
Charities Act 2011, taxation legislation, data protection, anti-bribery, employment,
environmental and health and safety legislation.,
we assessed the extenl of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above Ihrough making
enquiries of management and review of legal fees., and
identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team
remained alert lo inslances of non-compliance throughout the audit.
We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement. including
obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by".
makin9 enquirie5 of management as to where they considered there was suscepkn'bility to fraud, Iheir
knowledge of actual. suspected and alleged fraud,. and
considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks ol fraud and non-compliance with laws and
regulations.
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and overnde of controls, we".
performed anatytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships.,
tested ioumal entries to identify unusual transactions,.
assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates set out in
Note 3 were indiGalive of potential bias,. and
investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.
In response to the risk of i￿egular￿lieS and nonwcompliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures
which included, but were not limited lo
agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying SUPPOTts'ng documentation.,
reading the minutes of meetings of those Charged with governance;
enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims., and
reviewing correspondence with HMRC, relevant regulators and the company's legal advisors.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS. REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF PETERBOROUGH ENVIRONMENT Ctry
TRUST (CONTINUED)
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and
regulations are from financial transacts'ons. the less likely it is that we would becorne awa￿ of non-compliance.
Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations
to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if
any.
Material misslatemenls that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they
may involve deliberale concealment or collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial
Reporting Council's website at.. vi￿.frc.0r

Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006, and to the charitable Company's trustees. as a body. Part 4 of the Charities

charitable company's members those matters we are required lo state lo them in an Auditor5, Report and for no

impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working

be suitable taxable surpluses from which the future reversal of Ihe underfying liming differences can

Accounting polictes (continued)
Crltlcal accountlng estlmates and areas of judgment
Estimates and Judgments are conb'nually evaluated and are based on hi5tori¢al experience and other
factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances.
Crits'cal accounting estimates and assumpts'ons,
The charity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The results'ng accounting estimates
and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The key sources of estimation
uncertainty that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the finanaal statements are
described below..
Allocation of costs Direct expenses are charged to individual cost centres wherever possible. Where
costs cannot be directly attributed to particular activities, they have been allocated on a basis consistenl
with the use of those resources.
Tangible fixed assets are recognised at cost or valuation, less accumulated depreciati'on and any
impairment. Depreciation takes place over the estimated useful life, down to the assessed residual value.
The carrying amount of the charity's tangible fixed assets is tested as soon as changed condition5 show
that a need for impairment has arisen.
The valuation ol freehold and investment property is based on the Trustees, evaluation of the market,
which is judgemenlal and based on assumptions. At the 31 March 2023 the Trustee's commissioned an
independent valuer lo provide an estimate of the market value of the propety al the balance sheet date.
This estimated market value has been reflected in the financial statements.
