## **Report of the trustees for the year ending March 2021** 

The Trustees present their annual report and the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021 which are also prepared to meet the requirements of a directors report and accounts for Companies Act purposes. 

The Officers and Professional Advisers pages on pages 1-2 form part of the Report of the Trustees. 

The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, and the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019). 

## **PURPOSE AND ACTIVITIES** 

The purpose of Disability Action Yorkshire is to provide a range of options and practical solutions to enable disabled people to achieve their ambitions, primarily through: 

- Information, advice and guidance 

- Personal assistance, including residential care 

- Training 

- Campaigning / Accessibility 

- Holiday accommodation 

The Trustees vision for the charity is that all disabled people are empowered to achieve their aspirations and have focused their future planning on three key areas: 

- Solution finding 

- Accessibility 

The Trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity ublic benefit in reviewing current provision and in the planning of future services. 

## **The focus of our work** 

In order to meet the above objectives and vision we provide a number of services and facilities.  Our activities are described below and all focus on the provision of high quality services that enable disabled people to live the lifestyle of their choosing and are undertaken to further our charitable purpose for the public benefit. 

3 





## **Report of the trustees for the year ending March 2021 (continued)** 

Strategies to meet those objectives included: 

- The provision of a residential service that provides personal care and training in independent living for disabled young people and adults (16-65) with physical disabilities this is currently under review as explained below 

- The provision of community services which support disabled people to live independently (restricted during this year, please see below) 

- The provision of training in employability skills and personal development for disabled people 

- The provision of holiday accommodation for families with a disabled member 

- Using our voice in ensuring that disabled people have equal access to services, homes, work and fulfilled lives 

- Compliance with all standards and regulations appropriate to our services, including the Care Quality Commission 

## **Who uses and benefits from our work?** 

Although the objects of the organisation permit the delivery of services throughout England and Wales, the size of the organisation limits our geographical area of delivery to North Yorkshire and in particular the Harrogate area at the present time. 

We are committed to the provision of services that are driven by the needs and wishes of disabled people, therefore the users of our services encompass a broad spectrum of society, which primarily includes younger physically disabled people and physically disabled adults. We also provide services to younger people and adults with learning disabilities and sensory impairments.  Access to our services is not limited by gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity or any other protected characteristic. 

We provide services for disabled people from the age of 16 - 64, with the majority of people that we work with being aged 16 30.

## **Report of the trustees for the year ending March 2021 (continued)** 

## **What we do and how we do it** 

This has been an extraordinary year for the organisation with COVID-19 affecting our services throughout the period. The below shows how the pandemic has impacted on what we do as well as the steps we have taken to ensure that, wherever possible, we were able to continue to deliver our services and adapt to the challenges we have faced. 

## **Residential Care 34 Claro Road** 

34 Claro Road is our purpose-built residential facility for disabled younger people and adults (16-65). It provides accommodation for twenty-two people and is divided into two ten person units with the ethos of the facility being to train those living in the skills they require to live independently. 

During the year we have provided a service to 21 people who are all working on developing essential life skills, although in December 2020 that number dropped to 20 with one customer moving to a more appropriate provision.  Due to the very low demand for residential care we have been unable to fill that vacancy. 

The year has not been an easy one at 34 Claro Road, with life becoming highly restrictive, due to government guidance, for the people that live there.  A long period with very tight restrictions on visitors and going out certainly affected the mental wellbeing of the customers.  We have developed robust infection control levels which have certainly contributed to the very low numbers of positive cases of COVID-19 we have seen in both the customer and staff groups. 

COVID-19 has also had an impact on our finances during the year, expenditure has increased due higher staffing levels to en paying full pay to staff who had a COVID related absence from work, paying for alternative staff transport to public transport and, at the beginning of the pandemic, high costs of PPE before this was supplied to us.  The increase in expenditure has been slightly offset by a number of COVID related government grants. 

Our desire to change the model of service delivery from residential care to supported housing remains resolute, however the pandemic has impacted this adversely with many providers stopping new building work altogether for a period. We were pleased to find a suitable partner in September 2019, and whilst we have still had a number of unforeseen hurdles to overcome our plans are now moving forwards.

## **Report of the trustees for the year ending March 2021 (continued)** 

## **Training** 

Our training department delivers training in the skills required for employment, as well as other life skills, to disabled young people and adults. 

Learners come to us through various pathways. Some come to us directly, some on an NYCC funded Personal Learning Pathway, some on supported internships and others funded by NYCC health and adult services. 

From April 2020 to September 2020 the physical training environment was fully closed due to COVID-19.  This meant that we quickly had to look at new ways to deliver training as well as ensuring support and reducing isolation for learners. With staff working from home we moved very quickly to online learning which p unrestricted online support during working hours to enable participants to continue with their learning and maintain the relationships they had developed with each other.  This was very successful with learners saying that while it would never take the place of being in the learning environment it was a very close second.  This form of learning did not require as many staff as a physical environment and those who were not needed transferred to 34 Claro Road for the period, with two people going onto furlough due being considered clinically extremely vulnerable. 

The re-opening was staged with learners returning to a much more socially distanced environment, workin nd a very regular cleaning regime. 

Our experience with remote learning made us realise that this was a very successful mode of delivery, particularly for disabled people who are isolated, live rurally or do not wish to enter a physical environment particularly during a pandemic.  We were pleased to receive a grant from the National Lottery Community Fund which enabled us to employ a member of staff to further develop our online learning offer. 

As we continued to provide a service we did not suffer loss of income in this department. 

## **Holiday Accommodation** 

Our holiday lodge is situated in Louth, Lincolnshire, on the Kenwick Park Estate and was purpose built to provide accessible self-catering holiday accommodation for disabled people and their families. 

6 





## **Report of the trustees for the year ending March 2021 (continued)** 

COVID-19 impacted on this provision with the lodge being closed for bookings, due to government restrictions, from April August 2020.  Following reopening bookings were slow to come in with many disabled people remaining on the clinically extremely vulnerable list.  It was not really until 2021 that we got back to anything like the previous level of bookings. 

In order that we can ensure robust cleaning between bookings we have had to introduce a policy of one clear break between bookings.   This and the low number of bookings during the period have had a negative financial impact on our holiday accommodation. 

## **Community Services** 

Our plans to develop a registered personal care service in the local community have had to be put on hold due to COVID-19.  Under current guidance we are unable to use staff across two registered services meaning that as we planned to use staff from 34 Claro Road to deliver services in the community we could not move forwards with this. 

We have also had to put our buddying service on hold, again due to COVID-19. At the beginning of the pandemic this was not a permitted service and when more mixing was allowed we found that our volunteer buddies had either found alternative volunteering or did not feel comfortable continuing. 

We were able to provide a small service in the community during the lockdowns delivering donated jigsaws and books to people in lockdown, particularly the clinically extremely vulnerable who could not get out. 

## **Information, Advice & Guidance** 

We found that during lockdown the number of people ringing for information, advice and guidance increased slightly although the callers generally just wanted advice on where to get support for shopping, prescriptions etc. 

## **Campaigning / Accessibility** 

Our work in the local business community improving accessibility has been on hold during much of the period, with the staff member working on this project being on furlough leave for the majority of the year. 

## **Future Plans** 

## **Strategic Plan** 

- Our strategic plan covers the period to 2022 and focuses on: Solution finding. 

   - Equality 

   - Accessibility

## **Report of the trustees for the year ending March 2021 (continued)** 

## **Changing our model of service from residential care to supported housing** 

Whilst the pandemic has continued to stall our plans to change our model of service delivery it has in no way weakened the resolve to do so.  Having now found a suitable partner we are finally moving forwards with the hope that work will begin on the building in early 2022. 

Following a long and unsuccessful search for suitable land for the supported housing development we finally came to the conclusion that the best option was to use the land on which our residential home, 34 Claro Road stands.  This has a substantial garden area and backs onto an abandoned playground, owned by the Borough Council who have indicated they would be willing to dispose of this land for housing purposes.  The build will take place in two phases with the first phase providing the accommodation for the people living at 34 Claro Road.  Once they have moved into their new accommodation the residential home will be demolished and the next phase, which will provide supported housing for other local disabled people, will be built. 

In order to obtain the grant needed from Homes England to develop the scheme the housing association need to own the land on which it will be built.  We will therefore be selling 34 Claro Road in early 2022 to them and renting the residential home back for a nominal rent.  Prior to the decision to sell the property, it was included within our accounts at £1,637,563, this being the value in use; however the sale value is £360,000.  This will result in a loss on disposal of £1,277,563 which has been included within this years accounts as an impairment. 

## **COVID-19 Response and Recovery** 

The impact of the pandemic has been felt by the organisation in a number of ways. 

Financially the ramifications have been felt mainly at 34 Claro Road with the requirement for higher staffing levels to enable cohorting, to cover staff who were isolating or clinically extremely vulnerable, and to facilitate effective infection control have resulted in increased costs including increased overtime and additional recruitment. 

The delay in the development of the supported housing has affected us as there is very limited demand for residential care for younger adults, therefore as people leave we are unable to fill vacancies. 

The effect on staff should not be underestimated, particularly at 34 Claro Road they have worked tirelessly and unfortunately, due to the national crisis in social care staffing, there appears to be no respite in this.

## **Report of the trustees for the year ending March 2021 (continued)** 

We have updated our risk register continually during the pandemic and will continue to do all that we can to mitigate any negative consequences moving through this and in the aftermath. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE & MANAGEMENT** 

## **Constitution** 

The charity was incorporated as a company limited by guarantee, company number 03013324 on 24 January 1995 and registered with the charity commission on 22 February 1995, charity number 1044373. The Governing document of the charity is the Memorandum and Articles of Association. 

The charity removed the existing Articles of Association and replaced them with new Articles of Association by Special Resolution dated 16 November 2010. The objects of the charity were amended by Special Resolution on 28 March 2011 and 1 December 2016. 

## **Appointment of Trustees** 

Members of the Board of Trustees are appointed by members of the charity at the Annual General Meeting. Retiring trustees may, if willing to act, offer themselves for re-election for up to a maximum of 3 consecutive 3 year terms. On expiration of such period one further year must elapse before any such member shall be eligible for re-election. 

At the 2020 Annual General Meeting Andrew Glen and Andrew Newton retired by rotation and, being eligible, offered themselves for re-election and were duly appointed.  Andrew Glen later resigned on 12 May 2021, we thank him for his considerable service to the charity. 

The organisation seeks to ensure that the views of disabled people are appropriately reflected on the Trustee Board along with a broad skill mix. Trustees are appointed using a number of methods, including online advertising and networking, with trustees paying due regard to the makeup of the trustee board reflecting the needs of the community we serve.  Trustees have reviewed the skills and experience of the current Board during the year and, although this demonstrated that all areas of good governance were covered by the existing Board, the findings will be used in any future recruitment campaign. 

The Trustees have spent much of the year working through the Charity Governance Code to assess their compliance and have developed an action plan to improve their practice and compliance, much of which has been actioned.

## **Report of the trustees for the year ending March 2021 (continued)** 

## **Trustee induction and training** 

Disability Action Yorkshire is committed to providing training for trustees and staff alike to ensure that they are fully equipped to perform their duties and discharge their responsibilities with due care. Trustees are required to comply with both company law and charity law; they therefore attend an induction session with the Chair and Chief Executive and are issued with a comprehensive induction pack. The training and pack cover: 

- The obligations of Trustees, including the Charity Commission Welcome Pack for New Trustees. 

- The functions of the organisation and its services. 

- The financial position. 

- The c Plan. 

During the year Trustees have attended external training seminars and events as well as receiving regular online updates. 

## **Directors** 

The Trustees are all directors of the company as detailed on page 1. Their responsibilities are set out on page 16. 

## **Organisation** 

The Trustees have appointed a Chair, Vice Chair and Treasurer and may appoint other honorary officers from amongst their midst. 

The Trustees meet as often as may be required for the proper conduct of the affairs of the charity provided that this is not less than four times in each calendar year and usually on a bi-monthly basis. During the pandemic meetings have been held remotely, which is permitted within our Articles. The Trustees are quorate when at least three Trustees are present. Questions arising at any meeting are decided by a majority of votes. Trustees have one vote, except in the case of an equality of votes when the Chair has a second or casting vote. 

The Trustees take strategic decisions at Board meetings and delegate authority for operational matters to the Chief Executive. The Chief Executive is supported by three operations managers who form the Leadership Team. 

## **Related parties** 

The directors consider the board of trustees, the chief executive and the leadership team as comprising the key management personnel of the charity in charge of directing and controlling the charity on a day to day basis. All trustees give of their time freely and no trustee remuneration or other benefit was paid in the year. Details of trustee expenses are disclosed in note 11 of the accounts. 

10 





## **Report of the trustees for the year ending March 2021 (continued)** 

In the current year no related party transactions were reported. 

Trustees disclose all relevant interests and register them with the Chief Executive withdrawing from any discussion or decision where a conflict of interest may arise. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

The charity has ended the year with a deficit of £1,330,739 (2020 - £31,800). Whilst the trustees are disappointed with this, it is recognised that the majority of the working deficit was due to the effects of COVID-19, in particular high staff costs at 34 Claro Road to enable effective infection control and losses on furniture warehouse income and holiday lodge bookings.  We had high repair costs at 34 Claro Road during the year with the building now showing signs of wear and tear. 

The reported deficit also includes £1,277,563  which is the effect of writing down the value of 34 Claro Road.  Excluding that write down the net result of the charity is a deficit of £53,176. 

Income from charitable activities totalled £1,232,905 compared to £1,312,201 in the previous year. 

34 Claro Road generated an income of £946,523 and expenses of £1,059,159 with an inclusion of £111,763 of support costs. 

The Training department, which includes the furniture sales warehouse, had an income of £272,275 with expenses of £359,523. This includes £139,704 of support costs. 

Income in the holiday accommodation was £4,065 with costs of £24,129 with an inclusion of £13,970 of support costs. 

## **Grants and Legacies** 

Details of grants, donations and legacies are shown in Note 3 to the accounts. 

We remain indebted to those who have so generously supported the work of the charity, and particularly during the pandemic. 

## **Fixed Assets** 

Changes in fixed assets during the year are summarised in notes 12 to 14. 

11 





## **Report of the trustees for the year ending March 2021 (continued)** 

**Reserves Policy** It is Disability Action following purposes: 

1. To provide a degree of short term protection against unplanned events that threaten the provision of existing services. 

2. To enable the organisation to manage fluctuations in income and expenditure. 

3. To increase the scope or scale of activities, including developing or promoting the development of new or additional services to disabled people. 

The Trustees believe that it is prudent to operate with a level of reserves to provide a cushion against short-term threats or unforeseen financial demands. This may include such things as unexpected loss of contract income or unplanned major expenditure. 

The Trustees, taking into account the nature and size of the business, income and expenditure projections, external guidelines, such as the Charity Commission, and the potential use to which reserves may be put, annually review the appropriate level of reserves. Some areas of the organisation can operate with minimal reserves whilst others, particularly those areas providing residential accommodation, need the security of a far higher level. In the past the Trustees have striven to attain a reserve equivalent to three months general running expenditure. 

The Board of Trustees review the level of reserves on a bi-monthly basis and take corrective action where necessary. 

The total funds of the charity are £1,224,083 of which £29,167 are held for restricted purposes and £540,309 have been designated. The designated funds relate to the net book value of assets used for charitable purpose, less any outstanding payments, has been created to show clearly the level of funds dedicated to the holding of these assets. 

The charity is currently holding free reserves of £646,552 of which £369,740 is held in net current assets. d to equate to approximately £365,000 over the coming year. The trustees are satisfied that the level of reserves is appropriate to the future plans of the organisation. 

12 





## **Report of the trustees for the year ending March 2021 (continued)** 

## **Investments** 

## **Investment Powers** 

The Memorandum and Articles of Association permit wide, unrestricted powers of investment. The Trustees have power to delegate their investment powers to a financial expert subject to certain conditions set out in the Memorandum and Articles of Association, including delegating investment decisions without reference to the Trustees beforehand. 

## **Investment Philosophy** 

The investment policy states that the primary aim is to achieve growth of the capital and/or income. This will require the application of a proportion of the fund in equity and/or equity related investments balanced by an element of lower risk, stable investments (such as fixed interest securities). It is accepted that there will be periods when the portfolio could fluctuate significantly in value and, in order to achieve our objective, the investment period needs to be of about five years duration. 

## **Investment Policy** 

The Trustees have not requested that the Investment Management Company should vary its ethical investment policy. 

## **Gross Income from Investments** 

The Trustees have no specific income requirement from the investment portfolio; income generated is re-invested into the portfolio. 

## **Investment Performance** 

The value of investments held has increased to £276,812 during the course of the year from £219,563. 

## **Fundraising** 

Income raised through fundraising and general donations in the year was £146,656. 

We are extremely grateful for the generous donations we have received from our supporters. 

Our approach is to raise funds ourselves and not to use third parties.  The inistered by Harrogate Borough Council and the Two Ridings Foundation.  We have received no complaints with regards the lottery. 

13 





## **Report of the trustees for the year ending March 2021 (continued)** 

Our fundraising is limited mainly to grant applications and donations from individuals and corporate supporters.  We have an Ethical Fundraising Policy and will only use techniques that we would be happy to be used on ourselves. 

In doing so we ensure that any fundraising activities carried out by Disability Action Yorkshire will comply with all relevant law i.e.: 

- Gift Aid Rules 

- Charities Act 1991 

- Charities Act 2011 

- General Data Protection Regulation 

We have received no complaints about fundraising during the year. 

## **Pay policy for senior staff** 

The pay of the chief executive and leadership team are reviewed annually and normally only increased in line with inflation. As with all posts in the organisation, pay is reviewed as and when posts become vacant to ensure that the remuneration is fair and in line with similar roles in other organisations. Remuneration levels take into account: levels of accountability, specialist skills and experience required and responsibility for staff and customers. 

## **PEOPLE** 

At the year-end Disability Action Yorkshire employed an average of 54 staff compared with an average of 52 staff last year. 

Staff employed hold a variety of skills, qualifications and experience which includes care and support staff, domestic staff, administrators, finance staff, training staff and warehouse staff. 

The leadership team are all qualified and experienced within their field and continuous personal development ensures that the number and types of qualifications held by all staff is increasing. 

14 





## **Report of the trustees for the year ending March 2021 (continued)** 

## **Risk Management** 

The Trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises: 

- An annual review of the principal risks and uncertainties the charity may face. 

- The establishment of policies, systems and procedures to mitigate any risks identified in the annual review. 

- The implementation of procedures designed to minimise or manage any potential impact on the charity should those risks arise. 

The principal current risk is in regard to our development and diversification plans which could result in a loss of income should decisions be made based on poor information with no financial input and with no project planning. There is also a risk of loss of reputation. This is mitigated by the development of a project plan with key milestones and regular reporting, a full viability and options appraisal, including financial appraisal and a clear consultation process. 

The Trustees have revised the risk strategy to ensure that the potential risks related to COVID-19 are identified and mitigated wherever possible. 

The trustees are confident that the proposed changes to the organisation are in line with what our beneficiaries are telling us they want, and need, to enable them to achieve their aspirations and life goals. By not implementing changes to the organisation the trustees would be putting the organisation at greater risk of loss of customers in the longer term. 

## **GOING CONCERN** 

The organisation has extensive cash and other liquid resources and has no requirement for external funding. The Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. They continue to believe that the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate in preparing the annual financial statements 

## **AUDITORS** 

Azets Audit Services Limited were appointed auditor to the charitable company following their acquisition of the trade of Garbutt & Elliott Audit Limited on 1 December 2021. In accordance with s487(2) of the Companies Act 2006 they are deemed reappointed annually. 

15 





## **Report of the trustees for the year ending March 2021 (continued)** 

## **s responsibility statement** 

The Trustees (who are also the directors of Disability Action Yorkshire for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Company law requires the Trustees of the charity to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements the trustees are required to: 

- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- Prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation. 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate financial records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

16 





## **Report of the trustees for the year ending March 2021 (continued)**

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 charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2021 and of its 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 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 charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the d 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. 

## **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 bility to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve 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.

## **INDEPEN PORT TO THE MEMBERS OF DISABILITY ACTION YORKSHIRE (CONTINUED)** 

## **Other information** 

The Trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our n. 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. 

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 our audit: 

- the information given in the Trustees' Report, which includes the Director purposes of company law, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and 

- the Director ded within the Trustees' report has 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 charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Director 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 accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or 

- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

19 



## **TO THE MEMBERS OF DISABILITY ACTION YORKSHIRE (CONTINUED)** 

- 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 xemptions in preparing the Trustees' report and 

- from the requirement to prepare a strategic report. 

## **Responsibilities of Trustees** 

As explained more fully in the statement of Trustees' responsibilities, the Trustees, who are also the Directors of the charity for the purpose 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 ility 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. 

## **Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements** 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance 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 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 detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Coun te at: http://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report. 

20 



## **INDEPENDENT AUDI S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF DISABILITY ACTION YORKSHIRE (CONTINUED)** 

## **Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud** 

We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our general commercial and sector experience, through discussion with the directors and other management, and from inspection of the charitable d legal correspondence.  We discussed with the trustees and other management the policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations. We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance during the audit. 

The charitable company is subject to laws and regulations that directly affect the financial statements including financial reporting legislation (including related companies and charities legislation), pensions legislation, taxation legislation and further laws and regulations that could indirectly affect the financial statements, comprising environmental, health and safety and employment legislation, and, in the current climate, Covid 19 regulations.  We assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items.  Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. These procedures did not identify any potentially material actual or suspected non-compliance. 

To identify risks of material misstatement due to fraud we considered the opportunities and incentives and pressures that may exist within the charitable company to commit fraud.  Our risk assessment procedures included: enquiry of trustees and other management to understand the high level policies and procedures in place to prevent and detect fraud, reading Board minutes and considering performance targets and incentive schemes in place for management.  We communicated identified fraud risks throughout our team and remained alert to any indications of fraud during the audit. 

As a result of these procedures we identified the greatest potential for fraud in the following areas: 

- income recognition and in particular the risk that income is recognised in the wrong reporting period, or that restricted income is incorrectly recognised within unrestricted income; and 

- subjective accounting estimates 

Both fraud risks arise due to a potential desire to present weaker results due to an incentive to obtain further funding and public support via donations. 

As required by auditing standards we also identified and addressed the risk of management override of controls. 

21 



**INDEPENDENT AUDI TO THE MEMBERS OF DISABILITY ACTION YORKSHIRE (CONTINUED)** 

We performed the following procedures to address the risks of fraud identified: 

- identifying and testing high risk journal entries through vouching the entries to supporting documentation; 

- assessing significant accounting estimates for bias; and 

- testing the recognition of income and in particular that it was recognised in the correct period and any restrictions recognised. 

Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. 

In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of fraud, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls.  Our audit procedures are designed to detect material misstatement.  We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance or fraud and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations. 

## **Use of our report** 

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitabl rs as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES Icontinued)
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which indude debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially
measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at
amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a
financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future
receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets Glassified as receivable
within one year are not amortised.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through income and ex￿ndIture, are
assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting date. Financial assets are impaired
where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after
the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been
affected.
If an asset is impaired, the impaimient loss is the difference between the carrying amount and
the present value of Ihe estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective
interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in nel incomel{expenditure) for the year.
If there is a decrease in the impaimient loss arising from an event occurring after the
impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current
carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been, had the
impairmenl not previously been re¢ognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in net
Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognised only vthen the contractual rights to the cash flows from the
asset expire or are settled, or when the charity transfers the financial asset and substantially
all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and
rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party
that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.

instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market
rale of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable wthin one year are nol amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequenUy carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate
method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or seNices that have been acquired in the
ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current
liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current
liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity's contractual obligations expire or are
discharged or cancelled.
kl Tangible Fixed Assets
Tangible fixed assets costing over £250 are capital as acquired, but those nol brought into
use by the year end are not depreciated. Depreciation is charged, in order to spread the cost

2. Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity's accounting policies. the trustees are required to make
judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities
that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated
assumptions are based on historical experien￿ and other factors that are considered to be
relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reViev￿￿ on an ongoing basis. Revisions to
accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where
the revision affects only that period, or in the peri¢xl of the revision and future periods where
Ihe revision affects both Current and future periods.
The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material
adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are outlined below.
Key Judgements
Flxed ass8t Imp8lrment
Claro Road was historically valued on the basis of deprecialed replacement cost, and if it
was still recognised on this basis, it would have a cost of £2,126.376 and a nel book value
of £1,672,091. As discussed on page 8 of these financial statements, the charity is currently
in the process of selling this property, as part of an agreement that will see new
accomodalion being buitt for the charity. Subsequently, these financial statements now
value this property at £360,000. which is the expected proceeds from sale.
