Trustee’s Annual Report for Frimley Health Charity for the year ended 31 March 2023

Independent auditor’s report to the Trustee of Frimley Health Charity

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Frimley Health Charity (“the charity”) for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet, Statement of Cash Flows and related notes, including the accounting policies in note 1.

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (or its predecessors) and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (“ISAs (UK)”) and applicable law. Our responsibilities are described below. We have fulfilled our ethical responsibilities under, and are independent of the charity in accordance with, UK ethical requirements including the FRC Ethical Standard. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is a sufficient and appropriate basis for our opinion.

Going concern

The trustee has prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis as they do not intend to liquidate the charity or to cease its operations, and as they have concluded that the charity’s financial position means that this is realistic. They have also concluded that there are no material uncertainties that could have cast significant doubt over its ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements (“the going concern period”).

In our evaluation of the trustee’s conclusions, we considered the inherent risks to the charity’s business model and analysed how those risks might affect the charity’s financial resources or ability to continue operations over the going concern period.

Our conclusions based on this work:

Page 3 of 29

Trustee’s Annual Report for Frimley Health Charity for the year ended 31 March 2023

However, as we cannot predict all future events or conditions and as subsequent events may result in outcomes that are inconsistent with judgements that were reasonable at the time they were made, the above conclusions are not a guarantee that the charity will continue in operation.

Fraud and breaches of laws and regulations – ability to detect

Identifying and responding to risks of material misstatement due to fraud

To identify risks of material misstatement due to fraud (“fraud risks”) we assessed events or conditions that could indicate an incentive or pressure to commit fraud or provide an opportunity to commit fraud. Our risk assessment procedures included:

We communicated identified fraud risks throughout the audit team and remained alert to any indications of fraud throughout the audit.

As required by auditing standards, we perform procedures to address the risk of management override of controls, in particular the risk that management may be in a position to make inappropriate accounting entries. On this audit we do not believe there is a fraud risk related to revenue recognition because the Charity has no profit motive and is not required by any regulatory body to achieve any specific financial targets. In addition, the majority of income is received in the form of donations, legacies or investment returns informed by a third party, so the opportunity to manipulate the revenue figure is limited.

We did not identify any additional fraud risks.

We performed procedures including:

Identifying and responding to risks of material misstatement due to non-compliance with laws and regulations

We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our general sector experience and through discussion with the directors and other management (as required by auditing standards), from inspection of the

Page 4 of 29

Trustee’s Annual Report for Frimley Health Charity for the year ended 31 March 2023

Charity’s regulatory and legal correspondence and discussed with the directors 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 throughout the audit.

The potential effect of these laws and regulations on the financial statements varies considerably.

Firstly, the Charity is subject to laws and regulations that directly affect the financial statements, including financial reporting legislation (including related charities legislation) and we assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items.

Whilst the Charity is subject to many laws and regulations, we did not identify any where the consequences of non-compliance alone could have a material effect on amounts or disclosures in the financial statements.

Context of the ability of the audit to detect fraud or breaches of law or regulation

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 noncompliance with all laws and regulations.

Other information

The trustee is responsible for the other information, which comprises the Trustee’s Annual Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion or, except as explicitly stated below, any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether, based on our financial statements audit work, the information therein is materially misstated or inconsistent with the financial statements or our audit knowledge. We are required to report to yyou if:

Page 5 of 29

Trustee’s Annual Report for Frimley Health Charity for the year ended 31 March 2023

We have nothing to report in these respects.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

Under the Charities Act 2011 we are required to report to you if, in our opinion:

We have nothing to report in these respects.

Trustee’s responsibilities

As explained more fully in their statement set out on page 11, the trustee is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view; such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern; and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities

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 our opinion in an auditor’s report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but does not 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 aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.

A fuller description of our responsibilities is provided on the FRC’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities.

The purpose of our audit work and to whom we owe our responsibilities

This report is made solely to the charity’s trustee, as a body, in accordance with section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (or its predecessors) and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees those matters we

Page 6 of 29

are required to state to them in an auditor’s 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 charity and its trustee, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

2 Structure, Governance and Management

2.1 Trustee

The Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust is the Corporate Trustee of the Charity governed by the law applicable to Trusts, principally the Trustee Act 2000 and the Charities Act 2011. Acting as Corporate Trustee, the Trust’s Board of Directors is responsible for the overall management of the Charity.

The Chair and Non-Executive members of the Trust Board are appointed by the Trust’s Council of Governors. The Chief Executive is appointed by the Chair and Non-Executive Directors (subject to ratification by the Council of Governors). Executive members of the Trust Board are subject to recruitment by the Chairman, Non-Executive Directors and Chief Executive. Members of the Trust Board are not individual Trustees under Charity Law, but act as agents on behalf of the Corporate Trustee. Duties are discharged through dedicated Trustee meetings.

For operational purposes the Trustees, during the financial year 2022/23, were deemed to be the Chairman, Non-Executive Directors and Executive Directors of Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust. The Director of Finance acted as the principal officer overseeing the dayto-day financial management and accounting for the Charity during the year. The members of the Board of the Corporate Trustee who served during the financial year and up to the date of signing the financial statements were as follows:

2.2 Statement of Trustee’s Responsibilities in respect of the Trustee’s Annual Report and Financial Statements

Under the trust deed and rules of the charity and charity law, the trustees are responsible for preparing a Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. The trustees are required to prepare the financial statements in accordance with UK Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland .

The financial statements are required by law to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources for that period.

In preparing these financial statements, generally accepted accounting practice entails that the trustees:

Page 11 of 29

Trustee’s Annual Report for Frimley Health Charity for the year ended 31 March 2023

The trustees are required to act in accordance with the trust deed and the rules of the charity, within the framework of trust law. They are responsible for keeping accounting records which are sufficient to show and explain the charity’s transactions and disclose at any time, with reasonable accuracy, the financial position of the charity at that time, and to enable the trustees to ensure that, where any statements of accounts are prepared by them under section 132(1) of the Charities Act 2011, those statements of accounts comply with the requirements of regulations under that provision. They are responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the charity and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the financial and other information included on the charity’s website. Legislation in the UK governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

2.3 Charitable Funds Committee

The Charitable Funds Committee was established by the Trustee to oversee the day-to-day management of the Charity in accordance with the duties of the Trustee, and to report regularly to the Trustee on the discharge of its responsibilities. The Charitable Funds Committee is chaired by a Non-Executive Director of the Trust and includes Executive and Directors as well as individuals who are not members of the Board of Directors.

The accounting records and the day-to-day administration of the funds are dealt with by the Finance Department located at Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust, Heatherwood Hospital, London Road, Ascot, Berkshire SL5 8AA.

3 Risk Management

The major risks to which the Charity is exposed have been identified and assessed, with systems in place that seek to mitigate those risks.

Although the current economic climate is relatively stable, the prospect of future economic downturns presents limited risk because in general the Charity does not enter into long-term spending commitments that are not covered by its income and tailors its expenditure to the funds available.

Expenditure is closely monitored; no fund manager is able to expend funds without the request first being checked by the Finance Department, which ensures the funds are available. The Charitable Funds Committee regularly reviews the movement on the different funds to satisfy itself that funds are being spent in accordance with the purpose for which they were raised and not retained to no benefit of the Charity, with significant fund holders asked to provide spending plans to support high balances.

There are no material uncertainties about the Charities ability to continue. The Charity is a public benefit entity.

4 Objectives and Strategy

The Charity’s overarching objective is expressed as follows in the Trust Deed:

“The Trustee shall hold the Trust Fund upon trust to apply the income, and at its discretion, so far as may be permissible, the capital, for any charitable purposes relating to the NHS (hereinafter referred to as “the Objects”)”.

The Trustee has had regards to Charity Commission guidance on public benefit in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 as well as the activities undertaken to further a charity’s purposes for the benefit of the public as demonstrated in section 5 of the Annual Report.

The Charitable Funds Committee has defined the purpose of the Frimley Health Charity as follows:

Page 13 of 29

Trustee’s Annual Report for Frimley Health Charity for the year ended 31 March 2023

The purpose of the Frimley Health Charity is to raise and receive money and other support from patients, staff and members of Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust (“The Hospitals”), as well as from the wider community. The Trustee of the Charity is responsible for ensuring the funds raised are spent in accordance with the wishes of the donors if specified, Charity Commission guidelines, and all relevant legal requirements.

The overall aim of the Corporate Trustee is to enhance the capacity of the Hospitals, its staff, and volunteers to provide the best possible care for its patients, over and above the standards required by the NHS.

The Charitable Funds Committee continued to support the Trust’s main strategic appeal in 2022-23:

5 Review of Finances, Achievements and Performance

The net assets of the Charity as at 31 March 2023 was £5,193,000 compared with £4,835,000 as at 31 March 2022, an overall increase of £358,000.

The total income received was £2,182,000 which represents an increase of £953,000 compared with the previous year (21/22 £1,229,000) and this was largely due to some high value legacies and donations being received.

Total expenditure was £1,824,000, which was a decrease of £3,000 on the previous year (2022/23 £1,827,000). Spend on equipment which was donated to the Trust rose to £600,000 (2021/22 £215,000) an increase of £385,000 on the previous year. £60,000 was spent on patient education and welfare (2021/22 £223,000) which was a decrease of £163,000 from the previous year. Spending on staff education and welfare decreased by £42,000 to £581,000 (2022/23 £623,000).

Total expenditure includes governance costs which are shown in note 7 having been apportioned across the approved expenditure headings.

The Charity Lottery scheme (which is a community lottery), launched in 2018-19 saw progress throughout 2022-23 and reported a balance of £154,000 after taking into account Charitable projects and staff salaries. This lottery has significant income streams projected for future years which will increase general funds to use on the highest priority projects.

Fund Raising

Page 14 of 29

Trustee’s Annual Report for Frimley Health Charity for the year ended 31 March 2023

The 2022/23 financial year has seen an encouraging lift in our income (£2.18m). There was great success with Jingle Jog with our new Event Manager, Megan Parry, leading on this event. We had more participants and income than ever before. We have also seen a number of legacies pledged (787,000). We have reviewed our database to ensure our charity’s data is fit for the future as we expand our work. We continue to implement many Creative Health projects across the Trust. Major Donor and Trust and Foundation work is also expanding and the lottery topped £542,000 income this year.

One of the biggest changes in the charity has been the recruitment of a professional fundraising team to lead us towards our target of £5m/year income.

The uplift in income can be attributed to some significant legacy pledges, the growth in lottery income and general donation increases. We have promoted the charity in many ways through social media, posters on site, press releases and on our website. Posters around the Trust use the strapline, ‘Your hospital, Your charity’ and these have been well received. We have also redesigned all our lottery marketing to give it a fresh look and appeal. A major project to put up plaques across the Trust where charity funding has been received is well underway and is giving the charity much greater visibility. This will drive income up further.

Income

The Charity relies on donations, grants, and legacies as its main sources of income, this was £1,391,000 (2021/22 £625,000). This category represented 64% total income and was up on the previous year (2021/22 45%).

The Charity received £542,000 in respect of income from the community lottery during 2022/23 (£402,000 in 2021/22).

Expenditure

Expenditure included staff education and welfare of £581,000 (2021/22 - £623,000) this enabled nursing, medical and support staff to develop their skills by attending courses where innovation and new research ideas can be shared. Such opportunities are over and above the regular Trust programmes of staff development and are made possible through donations received in wards and departments from patients and relatives as a thank you. These funds are also used to support departmental team building events.

During the year the Charity also continued to support a range of other charitable and health related activities benefiting patients both directly and indirectly. The purchases were varied and were of a kind that would not normally be a priority for NHS funding and included the following items in excess of £10,000:

Page 15 of 29

Trustee’s Annual Report for Frimley Health Charity for the year ended 31 March 2023

The Charity incurred £325,000 (£285,000 in 2021/22) in respect of expenses to support the continued growth of the community lottery and supported other charitable projects throughout the Trust to the sum of £115,000 during 2022/23 as opposed to £82,000 in 2021/22.

Going Concern

The Trustee has reasonable expectation that Frimley Health Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, there are no material uncertainties about the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern and the accounts have been prepared on this basis. The Trustees have also considered the implications of COVID-19 on cash flow forecasts and consider that as a result of its operating model explained within this Annual Report, even if no further funding is received in the 12 month period, the Charity has sufficient cash reserves to pay all committed costs.

6 Investment Policy

The Corporate Trustee has determined the investment policy as being, in so far as reasonable, to maintain and enhance the real value of the Charity’s assets over the long term by an investment portfolio of low-risk assets.

7 Reserves Policy

The Trustee’s policy is that funds should be spent when suitable applications arise, rather than that they should be retained indefinitely with the intention of generating investment income. This reflects the fact that the Charity does not generally enter into long-term commitments. The Trust does however have a level of operating expenditure of £603,000 (£406,000 for 2021/22) and the Trustees intend that an amount equal to six months’ worth of expenditure £302,000 (£203,000 for 2021/22) be held in reserve to fund forward commitments.

Page 16 of 29

Trustee’s Annual Report for Frimley Health Charity for the year ended 31 March 2023

The Charity also has funds which are designed to accumulate funds for a specific appeal and are therefore held until the appeal target is met. These funds are reviewed each year, but for 2022/23 the following are considered as reserved at 31st March:

The policy is reviewed on an annual basis.

8 Future Plans

It has been an exciting year to see the building of the new Stroke extension taking place. After many delays we now expect this to open in September 2023. This will make a significant difference to the life of stroke patients.

We have also seen the dementia appeal reach over £400,000 together with a significant portion of the budget being covered by the Trust. The dementia coordinators who were initially funded by the charity who pump primed the roles have now been taken on by the Trust as hugely valued members of the dementia team. As we reached the end of the year we were able to sit down with the dementia team and plan the expenditure. This is a very exciting stage in the development of the appeal.

The lottery raised over £540,000 and 2023/24 could see it hit £650,000. We have plans in place to build up a strong Bank staff team to canvass for more supporters combined with support from our corporate canvassing partner. This could see within 2 years our lottery hitting £1m income.

The other major change has been the development of a strong fundraising team. This now means that we can develop a diversified income with growing event income, increasing corporate partnerships, major donor and Trust and Foundation grants and a deepening of our community partnerships.

The future for the charity is looking very positive at present with rising income after the difficulties of the pandemic and the economic crisis, and a fully engaged, enthusiastic and experienced team.

On behalf of staff and patients who have benefitted from improved services due to the receipt of donations and legacies, the Corporate Trustee would like to thank all of those who have made charitable donations during the year.

Notes to the Accounts

1. Accounting Policies

a) Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the Trustees consider to be appropriate for the following reasons:

In preparing these accounts, the Trustee has considered whether any restatement of comparatives was required to comply with FRS 102 and the Charities SORP (FRS 102),

c) Funds Structure

Restricted funds are funds that are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors. Unrestricted funds comprise those funds that the Trustee is free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objects. The funds are disclosed in note 11.

All income must be recognised when entitlement is established, the monetary value can be reliably measured and the receipt is probable.

Legacies are accounted for as income where the receipt of the legacy is probable; this will be once confirmation has been received from the representatives of the estate(s) that probate has been granted; there are sufficient assets in the estate to pay the legacy

Page 22 of 29

Trustee’s Annual Report for Frimley Health Charity for the year ended 31 March 2023

and that all the conditions of the legacy have been fulfilled or are within the Charity’s control.

Gift Aid

Gift Aid is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.

e) Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised when a liability is incurred. Grant commitments are recognised when a constructive obligation arises which results in a payment being unavoidable. Grants are only made to related or third party NHS bodies and non-NHS bodies in furtherance of the charitable objects of the funds. A liability for such grants is recognised when approval has been given by the Corporate Trustee. The Trust has full knowledge of the plans of the Trustee, therefore a grant approval is taken to constitute a firm intention of payment, which has been communicated to the Trust, and so a liability is recognised.

Contractual arrangements are recognised as goods and services are supplied.

f) Irrecoverable VAT

Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred.

Support costs are those costs which do not relate directly to a single activity. These include some staff costs, costs of administration, internal and external audit costs and IT support. Support costs have been apportioned between fundraising costs and charitable activities on the basis of a proportion of total spend. The analysis of support costs and the basis of apportionment applied are shown in note 6.

h) Cost of raising funds

The costs of raising funds are fundraising expenses and consultancy costs.

Page 23 of 29

Trustee’s Annual Report for Frimley Health Charity for the year ended 31 March 2023

i) Charitable Activities

Costs of charitable activities comprise all costs incurred in the pursuit of the charitable objects of the Charity. These costs include an apportionment of overhead and support costs as shown in note 6 and 7.

j) Transfers between funds

A transfer between funds is permitted provided the transfer is in keeping with the

purpose of the funds and has been agreed by the relevant fund holders in all cases.

k) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash at bank and in hand is held to meet the day to day running costs of the Charity as they fall due.

l) Current asset investments

Current asset investments include cash on deposit and cash equivalents with a maturity of less than one year held for investment purposes rather than to meet short-term cash commitments as they fall due.

m) Debtors

Debtors are amounts owed to the Charity. They are measured on the basis of their recoverable amount.

Creditors are amounts owed by the Charity. They are measured at the amount that the Charity expects to have to pay to settle the debt.

The Charity is a registered charity, and as such is entitled to certain tax exemptions on income and profits from investments, and surpluses on any trading activities carried on in furtherance of the Charity’s primary objects, if these profits and surpluses are applied solely for charitable purposes.

p) Significant accounting estimates and judgements

Estimates and judgements are periodically evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including, expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Page 24 of 29

Trustee’s Annual Report for Frimley Health Charity for the year ended 31 March 2023

Legacies have been accounted for as income where the receipt of the legacy is considered probable through:

As at 31 March 2023, in addition to the legacy income that has been included in the accounts, the Charity expected to benefit from a number of legacies from estates for which these conditions were not met.

The immediate and ultimate parent undertaking and controlling party is Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust. The Charity results have not been consolidated within the accounts of Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust on the basis of materiality.

2. Related Party Transactions

The Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust is the beneficiary of the Charity. The Charity has provided funding to the Trust for approved expenditure made on behalf of the Charity. This funding amounted to £1,635,000 (2021/22 - £1,727,000) and is shown as expenditure from charitable activities.

During the year none of the members of the Foundation Trust’s Board of Directors or key management, staff or person(s) related to them have undertaken any material transactions with, or been beneficiaries of, the Charity.

The amounts owed to the Charity by the Corporate Trustee as at 31 March 2023 was £1,103 (31 March 2022 £2,714). Amounts owed to the Corporate Trustee by the Charity as at 31 March 2023 were £101,744 (31 March 2022 £47,966). There is no security over the balances.

Independent Auditor Report

Trustee’s Annual Report for Frimley Health Charity for the year ended 31 March 2023

Independent auditor’s report to the Trustee of Frimley Health Charity

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Frimley Health Charity (“the charity”) for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet, Statement of Cash Flows and related notes, including the accounting policies in note 1.

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (or its predecessors) and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (“ISAs (UK)”) and applicable law. Our responsibilities are described below. We have fulfilled our ethical responsibilities under, and are independent of the charity in accordance with, UK ethical requirements including the FRC Ethical Standard. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is a sufficient and appropriate basis for our opinion.

Going concern

The trustee has prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis as they do not intend to liquidate the charity or to cease its operations, and as they have concluded that the charity’s financial position means that this is realistic. They have also concluded that there are no material uncertainties that could have cast significant doubt over its ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements (“the going concern period”).

In our evaluation of the trustee’s conclusions, we considered the inherent risks to the charity’s business model and analysed how those risks might affect the charity’s financial resources or ability to continue operations over the going concern period.

Our conclusions based on this work:

Page 3 of 29

Trustee’s Annual Report for Frimley Health Charity for the year ended 31 March 2023

However, as we cannot predict all future events or conditions and as subsequent events may result in outcomes that are inconsistent with judgements that were reasonable at the time they were made, the above conclusions are not a guarantee that the charity will continue in operation.

Fraud and breaches of laws and regulations – ability to detect

Identifying and responding to risks of material misstatement due to fraud

To identify risks of material misstatement due to fraud (“fraud risks”) we assessed events or conditions that could indicate an incentive or pressure to commit fraud or provide an opportunity to commit fraud. Our risk assessment procedures included:

We communicated identified fraud risks throughout the audit team and remained alert to any indications of fraud throughout the audit.

As required by auditing standards, we perform procedures to address the risk of management override of controls, in particular the risk that management may be in a position to make inappropriate accounting entries. On this audit we do not believe there is a fraud risk related to revenue recognition because the Charity has no profit motive and is not required by any regulatory body to achieve any specific financial targets. In addition, the majority of income is received in the form of donations, legacies or investment returns informed by a third party, so the opportunity to manipulate the revenue figure is limited.

We did not identify any additional fraud risks.

We performed procedures including:

Identifying and responding to risks of material misstatement due to non-compliance with laws and regulations

We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our general sector experience and through discussion with the directors and other management (as required by auditing standards), from inspection of the

Page 4 of 29

Trustee’s Annual Report for Frimley Health Charity for the year ended 31 March 2023

Charity’s regulatory and legal correspondence and discussed with the directors 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 throughout the audit.

The potential effect of these laws and regulations on the financial statements varies considerably.

Firstly, the Charity is subject to laws and regulations that directly affect the financial statements, including financial reporting legislation (including related charities legislation) and we assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items.

Whilst the Charity is subject to many laws and regulations, we did not identify any where the consequences of non-compliance alone could have a material effect on amounts or disclosures in the financial statements.

Context of the ability of the audit to detect fraud or breaches of law or regulation

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 noncompliance with all laws and regulations.

Other information

The trustee is responsible for the other information, which comprises the Trustee’s Annual Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion or, except as explicitly stated below, any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether, based on our financial statements audit work, the information therein is materially misstated or inconsistent with the financial statements or our audit knowledge. We are required to report to yyou if:

Page 5 of 29

Trustee’s Annual Report for Frimley Health Charity for the year ended 31 March 2023

We have nothing to report in these respects.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

Under the Charities Act 2011 we are required to report to you if, in our opinion:

We have nothing to report in these respects.

Trustee’s responsibilities

As explained more fully in their statement set out on page 11, the trustee is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view; such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern; and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities

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 our opinion in an auditor’s report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but does not 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 aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.

A fuller description of our responsibilities is provided on the FRC’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities.

The purpose of our audit work and to whom we owe our responsibilities

This report is made solely to the charity’s trustee, as a body, in accordance with section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (or its predecessors) and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees those matters we

Page 6 of 29

Trustee’s Annual Report for Frimley Health Charity for the year ended 31 March 2023

are required to state to them in an auditor’s 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 charity and its trustee, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

2 Structure, Governance and Management

2.1 Trustee

The Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust is the Corporate Trustee of the Charity governed by the law applicable to Trusts, principally the Trustee Act 2000 and the Charities Act 2011. Acting as Corporate Trustee, the Trust’s Board of Directors is responsible for the overall management of the Charity.

The Chair and Non-Executive members of the Trust Board are appointed by the Trust’s Council of Governors. The Chief Executive is appointed by the Chair and Non-Executive Directors (subject to ratification by the Council of Governors). Executive members of the Trust Board are subject to recruitment by the Chairman, Non-Executive Directors and Chief Executive. Members of the Trust Board are not individual Trustees under Charity Law, but act as agents on behalf of the Corporate Trustee. Duties are discharged through dedicated Trustee meetings.

For operational purposes the Trustees, during the financial year 2022/23, were deemed to be the Chairman, Non-Executive Directors and Executive Directors of Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust. The Director of Finance acted as the principal officer overseeing the dayto-day financial management and accounting for the Charity during the year. The members of the Board of the Corporate Trustee who served during the financial year and up to the date of signing the financial statements were as follows:

Dawn Kenson John Weaver Michael Baxter Linda Burke Gary McRae

Executive Directors:

Induction and training are organised for new Directors of the Corporate Trustee on a caseby-case basis. This includes a series of one-to-one meetings with the Chairman, the executive directors and senior managers.

2.2 Statement of Trustee’s Responsibilities in respect of the Trustee’s Annual Report and Financial Statements

Under the trust deed and rules of the charity and charity law, the trustees are responsible for preparing a Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. The trustees are required to prepare the financial statements in accordance with UK Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland .

The financial statements are required by law to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources for that period.

In preparing these financial statements, generally accepted accounting practice entails that the trustees:

Page 11 of 29

Trustee’s Annual Report for Frimley Health Charity for the year ended 31 March 2023

The trustees are required to act in accordance with the trust deed and the rules of the charity, within the framework of trust law. They are responsible for keeping accounting records which are sufficient to show and explain the charity’s transactions and disclose at any time, with reasonable accuracy, the financial position of the charity at that time, and to enable the trustees to ensure that, where any statements of accounts are prepared by them under section 132(1) of the Charities Act 2011, those statements of accounts comply with the requirements of regulations under that provision. They are responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the charity and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the financial and other information included on the charity’s website. Legislation in the UK governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

2.3 Charitable Funds Committee

The Charitable Funds Committee was established by the Trustee to oversee the day-to-day management of the Charity in accordance with the duties of the Trustee, and to report regularly to the Trustee on the discharge of its responsibilities. The Charitable Funds Committee is chaired by a Non-Executive Director of the Trust and includes Executive and Directors as well as individuals who are not members of the Board of Directors. The members who served during the financial year and up to the date of signing the financial statements were as follows:

Members:

John Weaver Non-Executive Director & Committee Chair
Carol Deans Director of Communication and Engagement
Edward John Director of Operational Finance (until January 2023)
Stephen Jones Director of Operational Finance (from January 2023)

The accounting records and the day-to-day administration of the funds are dealt with by the Finance Department located at Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust, Heatherwood Hospital, London Road, Ascot, Berkshire SL5 8AA.

3 Risk Management

The major risks to which the Charity is exposed have been identified and assessed, with systems in place that seek to mitigate those risks.

Although the current economic climate is relatively stable, the prospect of future economic downturns presents limited risk because in general the Charity does not enter into long-term spending commitments that are not covered by its income and tailors its expenditure to the funds available.

Expenditure is closely monitored; no fund manager is able to expend funds without the request first being checked by the Finance Department, which ensures the funds are available. The Charitable Funds Committee regularly reviews the movement on the different funds to satisfy itself that funds are being spent in accordance with the purpose for which they were raised and not retained to no benefit of the Charity, with significant fund holders asked to provide spending plans to support high balances.

There are no material uncertainties about the Charities ability to continue. The Charity is a public benefit entity.

4 Objectives and Strategy

The Charity’s overarching objective is expressed as follows in the Trust Deed:

“The Trustee shall hold the Trust Fund upon trust to apply the income, and at its discretion, so far as may be permissible, the capital, for any charitable purposes relating to the NHS (hereinafter referred to as “the Objects”)”.

The Trustee has had regards to Charity Commission guidance on public benefit in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 as well as the activities undertaken to further a charity’s purposes for the benefit of the public as demonstrated in section 5 of the Annual Report.

The Charitable Funds Committee has defined the purpose of the Frimley Health Charity as follows:

Page 13 of 29

Trustee’s Annual Report for Frimley Health Charity for the year ended 31 March 2023

The purpose of the Frimley Health Charity is to raise and receive money and other support from patients, staff and members of Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust (“The Hospitals”), as well as from the wider community. The Trustee of the Charity is responsible for ensuring the funds raised are spent in accordance with the wishes of the donors if specified, Charity Commission guidelines, and all relevant legal requirements.

The overall aim of the Corporate Trustee is to enhance the capacity of the Hospitals, its staff, and volunteers to provide the best possible care for its patients, over and above the standards required by the NHS.

The Charitable Funds Committee continued to support the Trust’s main strategic appeal in 2022-23:

5 Review of Finances, Achievements and Performance

The net assets of the Charity as at 31 March 2023 was £5,193,000 compared with £4,835,000 as at 31 March 2022, an overall increase of £358,000.

The total income received was £2,182,000 which represents an increase of £953,000 compared with the previous year (21/22 £1,229,000) and this was largely due to some high value legacies and donations being received.

Total expenditure was £1,824,000, which was a decrease of £3,000 on the previous year (2022/23 £1,827,000). Spend on equipment which was donated to the Trust rose to £600,000 (2021/22 £215,000) an increase of £385,000 on the previous year. £60,000 was spent on patient education and welfare (2021/22 £223,000) which was a decrease of £163,000 from the previous year. Spending on staff education and welfare decreased by £42,000 to £581,000 (2022/23 £623,000).

Total expenditure includes governance costs which are shown in note 7 having been apportioned across the approved expenditure headings.

The Charity Lottery scheme (which is a community lottery), launched in 2018-19 saw progress throughout 2022-23 and reported a balance of £154,000 after taking into account Charitable projects and staff salaries. This lottery has significant income streams projected for future years which will increase general funds to use on the highest priority projects.

Fund Raising

Page 14 of 29

Trustee’s Annual Report for Frimley Health Charity for the year ended 31 March 2023

The 2022/23 financial year has seen an encouraging lift in our income (£2.18m). There was great success with Jingle Jog with our new Event Manager, Megan Parry, leading on this event. We had more participants and income than ever before. We have also seen a number of legacies pledged (787,000). We have reviewed our database to ensure our charity’s data is fit for the future as we expand our work. We continue to implement many Creative Health projects across the Trust. Major Donor and Trust and Foundation work is also expanding and the lottery topped £542,000 income this year.

One of the biggest changes in the charity has been the recruitment of a professional fundraising team to lead us towards our target of £5m/year income.

The uplift in income can be attributed to some significant legacy pledges, the growth in lottery income and general donation increases. We have promoted the charity in many ways through social media, posters on site, press releases and on our website. Posters around the Trust use the strapline, ‘Your hospital, Your charity’ and these have been well received. We have also redesigned all our lottery marketing to give it a fresh look and appeal. A major project to put up plaques across the Trust where charity funding has been received is well underway and is giving the charity much greater visibility. This will drive income up further.

Income

The Charity relies on donations, grants, and legacies as its main sources of income, this was £1,391,000 (2021/22 £625,000). This category represented 64% total income and was up on the previous year (2021/22 45%).

The Charity received £542,000 in respect of income from the community lottery during 2022/23 (£402,000 in 2021/22).

Expenditure

Expenditure included staff education and welfare of £581,000 (2021/22 - £623,000) this enabled nursing, medical and support staff to develop their skills by attending courses where innovation and new research ideas can be shared. Such opportunities are over and above the regular Trust programmes of staff development and are made possible through donations received in wards and departments from patients and relatives as a thank you. These funds are also used to support departmental team building events.

During the year the Charity also continued to support a range of other charitable and health related activities benefiting patients both directly and indirectly. The purchases were varied and were of a kind that would not normally be a priority for NHS funding and included the following items in excess of £10,000:

Page 15 of 29

Trustee’s Annual Report for Frimley Health Charity for the year ended 31 March 2023

The Charity incurred £325,000 (£285,000 in 2021/22) in respect of expenses to support the continued growth of the community lottery and supported other charitable projects throughout the Trust to the sum of £115,000 during 2022/23 as opposed to £82,000 in 2021/22.

Going Concern

The Trustee has reasonable expectation that Frimley Health Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, there are no material uncertainties about the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern and the accounts have been prepared on this basis. The Trustees have also considered the implications of COVID-19 on cash flow forecasts and consider that as a result of its operating model explained within this Annual Report, even if no further funding is received in the 12 month period, the Charity has sufficient cash reserves to pay all committed costs.

6 Investment Policy

The Corporate Trustee has determined the investment policy as being, in so far as reasonable, to maintain and enhance the real value of the Charity’s assets over the long term by an investment portfolio of low-risk assets.

7 Reserves Policy

The Trustee’s policy is that funds should be spent when suitable applications arise, rather than that they should be retained indefinitely with the intention of generating investment income. This reflects the fact that the Charity does not generally enter into long-term commitments. The Trust does however have a level of operating expenditure of £603,000 (£406,000 for 2021/22) and the Trustees intend that an amount equal to six months’ worth of expenditure £302,000 (£203,000 for 2021/22) be held in reserve to fund forward commitments.

Page 16 of 29

Trustee’s Annual Report for Frimley Health Charity for the year ended 31 March 2023

The Charity also has funds which are designed to accumulate funds for a specific appeal and are therefore held until the appeal target is met. These funds are reviewed each year, but for 2022/23 the following are considered as reserved at 31st March:

The policy is reviewed on an annual basis.

8 Future Plans

It has been an exciting year to see the building of the new Stroke extension taking place. After many delays we now expect this to open in September 2023. This will make a significant difference to the life of stroke patients.

We have also seen the dementia appeal reach over £400,000 together with a significant portion of the budget being covered by the Trust. The dementia coordinators who were initially funded by the charity who pump primed the roles have now been taken on by the Trust as hugely valued members of the dementia team. As we reached the end of the year we were able to sit down with the dementia team and plan the expenditure. This is a very exciting stage in the development of the appeal.

The lottery raised over £540,000 and 2023/24 could see it hit £650,000. We have plans in place to build up a strong Bank staff team to canvass for more supporters combined with support from our corporate canvassing partner. This could see within 2 years our lottery hitting £1m income.

The other major change has been the development of a strong fundraising team. This now means that we can develop a diversified income with growing event income, increasing corporate partnerships, major donor and Trust and Foundation grants and a deepening of our community partnerships.

The future for the charity is looking very positive at present with rising income after the difficulties of the pandemic and the economic crisis, and a fully engaged, enthusiastic and experienced team.

Notes to the Accounts

1. Accounting Policies

a) Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the Trustees consider to be appropriate for the following reasons:

In preparing these accounts, the Trustee has considered whether any restatement of comparatives was required to comply with FRS 102 and the Charities SORP (FRS 102),

c) Funds Structure

Restricted funds are funds that are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors. Unrestricted funds comprise those funds that the Trustee is free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objects. The funds are disclosed in note 11.

All income must be recognised when entitlement is established, the monetary value can be reliably measured and the receipt is probable.

Legacies are accounted for as income where the receipt of the legacy is probable; this will be once confirmation has been received from the representatives of the estate(s) that probate has been granted; there are sufficient assets in the estate to pay the legacy

Page 22 of 29

Trustee’s Annual Report for Frimley Health Charity for the year ended 31 March 2023

and that all the conditions of the legacy have been fulfilled or are within the Charity’s control.

Gift Aid

Gift Aid is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.

e) Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised when a liability is incurred. Grant commitments are recognised when a constructive obligation arises which results in a payment being unavoidable. Grants are only made to related or third party NHS bodies and non-NHS bodies in furtherance of the charitable objects of the funds. A liability for such grants is recognised when approval has been given by the Corporate Trustee. The Trust has full knowledge of the plans of the Trustee, therefore a grant approval is taken to constitute a firm intention of payment, which has been communicated to the Trust, and so a liability is recognised.

Contractual arrangements are recognised as goods and services are supplied.

f) Irrecoverable VAT

Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred.

Support costs are those costs which do not relate directly to a single activity. These include some staff costs, costs of administration, internal and external audit costs and IT support. Support costs have been apportioned between fundraising costs and charitable activities on the basis of a proportion of total spend. The analysis of support costs and the basis of apportionment applied are shown in note 6.

h) Cost of raising funds

The costs of raising funds are fundraising expenses and consultancy costs.

Page 23 of 29

Trustee’s Annual Report for Frimley Health Charity for the year ended 31 March 2023

i) Charitable Activities

Costs of charitable activities comprise all costs incurred in the pursuit of the charitable objects of the Charity. These costs include an apportionment of overhead and support costs as shown in note 6 and 7.

j) Transfers between funds

A transfer between funds is permitted provided the transfer is in keeping with the

purpose of the funds and has been agreed by the relevant fund holders in all cases.

k) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash at bank and in hand is held to meet the day to day running costs of the Charity as they fall due.

l) Current asset investments

Current asset investments include cash on deposit and cash equivalents with a maturity of less than one year held for investment purposes rather than to meet short-term cash commitments as they fall due.

m) Debtors

Debtors are amounts owed to the Charity. They are measured on the basis of their recoverable amount.

Creditors are amounts owed by the Charity. They are measured at the amount that the Charity expects to have to pay to settle the debt.

The Charity is a registered charity, and as such is entitled to certain tax exemptions on income and profits from investments, and surpluses on any trading activities carried on in furtherance of the Charity’s primary objects, if these profits and surpluses are applied solely for charitable purposes.

p) Significant accounting estimates and judgements

Estimates and judgements are periodically evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including, expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Page 24 of 29

Trustee’s Annual Report for Frimley Health Charity for the year ended 31 March 2023

Legacies have been accounted for as income where the receipt of the legacy is considered probable through:

As at 31 March 2023, in addition to the legacy income that has been included in the accounts, the Charity expected to benefit from a number of legacies from estates for which these conditions were not met.

The immediate and ultimate parent undertaking and controlling party is Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust. The Charity results have not been consolidated within the accounts of Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust on the basis of materiality.

2. Related Party Transactions

The Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust is the beneficiary of the Charity. The Charity has provided funding to the Trust for approved expenditure made on behalf of the Charity. This funding amounted to £1,635,000 (2021/22 - £1,727,000) and is shown as expenditure from charitable activities.

During the year none of the members of the Foundation Trust’s Board of Directors or key management, staff or person(s) related to them have undertaken any material transactions with, or been beneficiaries of, the Charity.

The amounts owed to the Charity by the Corporate Trustee as at 31 March 2023 was £1,103 (31 March 2022 £2,714). Amounts owed to the Corporate Trustee by the Charity as at 31 March 2023 were £101,744 (31 March 2022 £47,966). There is no security over the balances.

FRC’s areas of focus

The FRC released their Annual Review of Corporate Reporting 2021/22 in October 2022, along with a summary of key matters for the coming year, primarily targeted at CEOs, CFOs and Audit Committee chairs. In addition, they have released six thematic reviews during the year which should be considered when preparing reporting for the current financial period.

The reports identify where the FRC believes companies should be improving their reporting. Below is a high level summary of the key topics. We encourage management and those charged with governance to read further on those areas which are significant to the entity.

Reporting in uncertain times

This year’s Annual Review of Corporate Reporting from the FRC has been prepared in the context of heightened economic and geopolitical uncertainty. The challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and slowing of global economies has led to inflationary pressure worldwide and rising interest rates.

This makes meaningful disclosure more important than ever, and the FRC has stressed the need for companies to move beyond simply complying with the minimum requirements of the relevant accounting and reporting frameworks. They expect companies to provide high-quality, decision-useful information for investors, with companies continually assessing evolving risks and ensuring these are clearly explained in annual reports.

The potential effects of uncertainty on recognition, measurement and disclosure are numerous, and companies will need to think carefully about the impacts of uncertainty, in particular inflation, on their reporting. The Annual Review gives a number of examples including:

Strategic report: the impact of inflation on the business model, changes to principal risks and uncertainties, and the impact of inflation on stakeholders.

Discount rates: inputs need to follow a consistent approach in incorporating the effects of inflation.

Material assumptions: where inflation assumptions represent a source of significant estimation uncertainty, the FRC expects companies to provide explanation of how these have been calculated and sensitivity disclosures if appropriate.

Pension schemes: explain the effect of uncertainty on investment strategy and associated risks.

Climate-related reporting

Climate-related reporting has advanced significantly this year as premium listed entities are required by the Listing Rules to provide disclosures consistent with the Taskforce on Climate-Related Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations. This follows the expansion of the Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) rules last year, which require quoted companies and large unquoted companies and LLPs to provide emissions reporting.

Climate has therefore been an area of ongoing focus for the FRC, with a thematic reviews in both 2021 and 2022 on aspects of climate reporting. From reviews of TCFD disclosures in the year, the FRC has highlighted five areas of improvement for companies to consider going forwards:

Granularity and specificity: disclosures should be granular and specific both to the company and the individual disclosure requirement, including a clear link to financial planning.

Balance: discussion of climate-related risks and opportunities should be balanced, and companies should consider any technological dependencies.

Interlinkage with other narrative disclosures: companies should ensure clear links between TCFD disclosures with other narrative disclosures in the annual report.

Materiality: companies should clearly articulate how they have considered materiality in the context of their TCFD disclosures.

Connectivity between TCFD and financial statements disclosures: the FRC may challenge those that disclose significant climate risks or net zero transition plans in narrative reporting, but do not explain how this is taken into account in the financial statements.

FRC’s areas of focus (cont.)

Cash flow statements Financial Instruments Income taxes

Companies should ensure that disclosure is sufficient to enable users to evaluate the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments and the approach taken to risk management.

Where material deferred tax assets are recognised by historically loss-making entities, disclosures should explain the nature of the evidence supporting their recognition. In addition, any connected significant accounting judgements or sources of estimation uncertainty will also need to be disclosed.

This continues to be a particular area of concern as it is a recurring source of errors identified by the FRC, with 15 companies restating their cash flow statements in the review period as a result of the FRC’s enquiries.

These disclosures should include the approach and assumptions used in the measurement of expected credit losses, and details of concentrations of risk. In times of economic uncertainty, disclosure of methods used to measure exposure to risks, and details of hedging arrangements put in place for interest rates or inflation are all the more important.

Companies are encouraged to consider the guidance in the 2020 thematic review on this topic, and to ensure that robust pre-issuance reviews of the financial statements have been undertaken.

On tax more generally, the FRC expects companies to ensure that taxrelated disclosures are consistent throughout the annual report and accounts, and material reconciling items in the effective tax rate reconciliation are adequately explained.

Cash flows must be classified as operating, investing or reporting in line with the requirements of the standard, and amounts reported should be consistent with disclosures elsewhere in the report and accounts including the elimination of non-cash transactions.

In addition, accounting policies should be provided for all material financing and hedging arrangements and any changes in these arrangements. Where companies have banking covenants, information about these should be provided (unless the likelihood of a breach is considered remote).

For groups operating in several jurisdictions, effective tax reconciliations may be more meaningful if they aggregate reconciliations prepared using the domestic rate in each individual jurisdiction, with a weighted average tax rate applied to accounting profit.

Several errors identified by the FRC related to the parent company cash flow statement, and it should ensured that this statement also complies with the requirements of the standard.

Strategic report and other Companies Act Revenue 2006 matters

Accounting policies should be provided for all significant performance obligations and should address the timing of revenue recognition, the basis for over-time recognition, and the methodology applied.

The strategic report needs to articulate the effects of economic and other risks facing companies, including inflation, rising interest rates, supply chain issues and labour relations. Mitigation strategies should be explained, with links, where relevant, to information disclosed elsewhere in the annual report.

Inflationary features in contracts with customers and suppliers and the accounting for such clauses are under increased focus this year.

Business reviews should discuss significant movements in the balance sheet and cash flow statement, and should not be limited to just an explanation of financial performance in the period.

Alternative performance measures (‘APMs’)

The FRC has also identified instances of companies not complying with legal requirements around distributions, and companies are reminded of the need to file interim accounts to support distributions in excess of the distributable profits shown in the relevant accounts.

APMs should not be presented with more prominence, emphasis or authority than measures stemming directly from the financial statements, and should be reconciled to the relevant financial statements line item.

FRC’s areas of focus (cont.)

Provisions and Judgements and contingencies estimates

Economic uncertainty increases the likelihood of companies needing to make significant judgements when preparing financial statements. The FRC highlights two specific examples – going concern assessments and accounting for inflationary features in contracts – where disclosure is key.

Companies should give clear and specific descriptions of the nature and uncertainties for material provisions or contingent liabilities, the expected timeframe and the basis for estimating the probable or possible outflow.

Inputs used in measuring provisions should be consistent in the approach to incorporating the effects of inflation, and details of related assumptions should be provided if material.

More generally, the FRC highlights the need for disclosures to clearly distinguish between estimates with a significant risk of a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of

Presentation of financial statements and related disclosures

assets/liabilities within the next year, and other sources of estimation uncertainty.

Significant estimates, and the associated disclosures should be updated at the balance sheet date. Sensitivity disclosures should be meaningful for readers, for example by sensitising the most relevant assumptions, and explaining any changes in assumption since the previous year.

Material accounting policy information should be clearly disclosed, and additional company-specific disclosures should be provided when compliance with IFRS requirements is insufficient to adequately explain transactions.

Impairment of assets

Economic uncertainty may have a significant impact on impairment assessments, and this is an area where queries raised from the FRC could have been avoided by clearer disclosure.

Companies need to explain the sensitivity of recoverable amounts to changes in assumptions, especially where the range of possible outcomes has widened. This should include explanation of the effect of economic assumptions, such as reduction in customer demand and increased cost.

Inflation should be treated consistently in value in use calculations. Nominal cash flows are discounted at a nominal rate, and real cash flows are discounted at a real rate.

Lastly, the FRC stresses the importance of consistency between impairment reviews/disclosures and other disclosures in the annual report.

Thematic reviews

The FRC has released six thematic reviews on corporate reporting in the current year, and companies are encouraged to consider the guidance in those reviews, where relevant, to enhance their financial reporting. The topics covered this year are:

2022/23 review priorities

The FRC has indicated that its 2022/23 reviews will focus on the extent to which companies’ disclosures address risks and uncertainty in the challenging economic environment, including those relating to climate change. Companies need to clearly articulate the impact of these risks on their strategy, business model and viability. In particular, the FRC intends to prioritise reviews of companies operating in the following sectors:

Construction materials Gas, water and multi-utilities

Travel, hospitality and leisure Retail

KPMG’s Audit quality framework

Audit quality is at the core of everything we do at KPMG and we believe that it is not just about reaching the right opinion, but how we reach that opinion.

To ensure that every partner and employee concentrates on the fundamental skills and behaviours required to deliver an appropriate and independent opinion, we have developed our global Audit Quality Framework.

Responsibility for quality starts at the top through our governance structures as the UK Board is supported by the Audit Oversight Committee, and accountability is reinforced through the complete chain of command in all our teams.

KPMG’s quality interventions

The audit team is responsible for the quality of the audit opinion and the audit file. However, increasingly KPMG audit teams are supported by ‘quality interventions’, as part of our overall Audit Quality Transformation Programme

This page summarises the key interventions in the FY21 audit cycle to support audit teams through the audit cycle – planning, fieldwork and completion. They provide assistance and independent challenge to ensure that the audit team follow our audit methodology; consider emerging regulatory trends; and judgments and estimates are reasonable and evidenced. This page shows the positive influence they have on the overall quality of work performed.
