Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with
ISAS IUKI 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 al)ove. 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 COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Partners of Prisoners and Families Support Group
Year ended 31 March 2024
Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
We identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error,
and then design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence that is
sufficient and appropriate to provide 3 basis for our opinion.
Identifying and assessing potential risks related to irregularities
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-
compliance with the laws and regulations. we considered the following:
the nature of the sector. control environment and organisation performance.
the organisation's own assessment of the risks that irregularities may occur either as a result of fraud or
error;
the results of our enquiries of management and members of the Board of Trustees of their own identitication
and assessment of the risks of irregularities.
any matters we identified having obtained and reviewed the organisation's documentation of their policies
and procedures relating to:
identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any
instances of non-compliance.,
detecting and respondin8 to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or
alleged fraud;
the internal controls established to mitigate risks of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations; and
the matters discussed among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the
financial statements and any potential indicators of f raud.
As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation
for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud in relation to the completeness of cash-based income as well
as the timing of the recognition of income.
In common with all audits under ISAS IUKI, we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk
of management over-ride.
We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the organisation operates in, focusing
on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and
disc105ures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included..
Safeguarding. the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK IFRS 102) (effective l January 2019} - (Charities
SORP IFRS 10211, the Financial Reporting standard applicable in the UK IFRS 1021. and the Companies Act 2CYJ6.
In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial
statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to the company's ability to operate or to avoid a material
penalty. These included Data Protection Regulations.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Year ended 31 March 2024
Company information
Partners of Prisoners and Families Support Group is a company limited by guarantee domiciled and incorporated
in England and Wales. The registered office is Valentine House, 1079 Rochdale Road. Blackley, Manchester, M9
8AJ.
Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the
preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
Basls of preparatlon
The linancial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities:
Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the
Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK IFRS 1021 leffective l January 20191 Icharities SORP IFRS
10211, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK IFRS 10213nd the Companies Act 2006.
The linancial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the function31 currency of the charity. Monetary
amounts in these tinancial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
Partners of Prisoners and Families Support Group meet the detinition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
Assets and liabilities are initially reco8nised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the
relevant accounting policy notelsl.
Goln8 concern
At the time of approving the linanci31 statements. the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the
organisation has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the
Trustees continue to adopt the 8oin8 concern basis of accounting in preparing the linancial statements.
Income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds. any performance conditions attached to the
itemls) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be
measured reliably.
Income from government and other grants, whether 'capital' grants or 'revenue' grants, is recognised when the
charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is
probable that the income will be received. and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred. Grants
are deferred to future periods only when this is specified by the funder or other preconditions of the fund are
not yet met.
For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has
been granted, the estate has been tinalised and notitication has been made by the executorlsl to the Trust that a
distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in
Part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably, and the charity has been notified
of the executor's intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the
charity is aware of the granting of probate. and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the
legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
Investment income is recognised on a receivable basis.

Accounting Policies Icontinuedl
Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is
probable that settlement will be required. and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
Costs of raising funds are the direct and indirect costs of raising f unds for charitable purposes, including
applying for grants.
Charitable activities include expenditure associated with the provision of services at the visitors, centres
and include both the direct C05t5 and support costs relating to these activitie5.
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories either directly
where identifiable or on a basis pro-rata with income.
Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading.
Funds structure
Restricted funds are funds subject to specific restrictive conditions imposed by the donor or by the purpose
of the contract / monies received. The purpose and use of restricted funds is set out in note 24 to the
tinancial statements.
General funds are unrestricted funds, which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in
furtherance of the general objective5 of the charity.
Designated funds are funds which have been allocated or designated for specitic purposes by the charity
out of unrestricted funds.
Tangible fixed assets
All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost. The charity operates a £l,CW capitalisation policy and items will not
be c3Pltalised under this de-minimis limit. Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, le55 Its
estimated residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Freehold land and buildings
Equipment
4% straight line
25% straight line
Stock
stock of goods for resale is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value.
Operating leases
Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with
the lessor are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
Pensions
The charity operates an auto enrolment defined contribution scheme for all eligible employees in line with
current legislation.

Accounting Policies Icontinuedl
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discounts offered.
Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a maturity of three
months or less from the date of acquisition or openin8 of the deposit or similar account.
Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting f rom a past event
that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can
be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount
after allowing for any trade discounts due.
Financial instruments
The charity only has tinancial assets and tinancial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments.
Basic linancial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their
settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost Using the
effective interest method.
Legal status of the Charlty
The company is limited by guarantee and all members have agreed to contribute an amount not exceeding £10
in the event of a winding up. The number of members at the year-end was 912023: 91.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the ch3rity's accounting policies. the Trustee5 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 experience and other factors that are
considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing b3515. 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
period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
