INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF DERBYSHIRE MIND
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Derbyshire MIND (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 March 2024
which comprise the slatement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and notes to the

Conclusions relating to going conGern

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responslbilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the statement of trustees, responsibilities, the trustees, who are also the directors of the
harity for Ihe purpose of company law, are responsible for Ihe preparation of the financial statements and for being
satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Irustees determine is necessary to
enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due lo fraud or
error. In preparing the financial statements. the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to
continue as a going concern, disdosing, as applicable. matters related lo 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 alternatrve but to do so.
Auditorfs responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Acl 2011 and report in accordance with the
Acl and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council's website at.. httPS'.11
wv￿.frc.Org.ukla￿dItorsreSponSlbllitles. This description fomis part of our auditorfs report.
Extent to vthich the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
Irregularities, including fraud. are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in
line with our responsibilities, outlined above and on the Financial Reporting Council's website, to detect material
misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud.
obtain and update our understanding of the entity, its activities. ils control environment, and likely future
developments, including in relation lo the legal and regulatory framework applicable and how the entity is complying
with that framework. Based on this understanding, we identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the
financial statemenls, whether due to fraud or e￿Or, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks.
and obtain audit evidence that is sufficienl and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. This includes
consideration of the risk of acts by the entity that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-complian￿ with laws and regulations. induding fraud, we designed
procedures which included-.
Enquiry of management and those charged with governan￿ around actual and potenlial litigation and
claims as well as actual, suspected and alleged fraud.,
Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance-
Assessing the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations considered to have a direct material
effect on the financial statements or the operations of the entity through enquiry and inspection.,
Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation lo assess compliance
with applicable laws and regulations.,
Performing audit work over the risk of management bias and override of controls, including testing of
joumal entries and other adjustmenls for appropfiateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant
transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing aC￿UntIng estimates for indicators of
potential bias.
Because of the inherenl limrtations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not delect all irregularities, including those
leading to a material misslalemenl in the financial stalements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk
increases the more that Complian￿ with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transadions reflected
in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk of
nol detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may
involve ￿llUsIon, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of intemal control.
