STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE and MANAGEMENT
The charity is made up of a total of 156 individual funds as at 31[st] March 2022 (2020-21, 157). Notes 19b and 19c of the accounts distinguish the types of funds held and disclose separately all material funds.
Cwm Taf Morgannwg UHB is the corporate trustee of the charitable fund. The role of trustee is performed by the Board of Cwm Taf Morgannwg UHB. The Chairman and Independent Members are appointed by the Minister for Health and Social Services of the Welsh Government. The Executive Directors are officers of the UHB and are appointed according to Health Board policy and procedure, their appointment being approved by the Board of the UHB. Appropriate training and induction is received on initial appointment followed by periodic development sessions to further develop the understanding of their roles and responsibilities. The Trustees receive no remuneration or expenses from these charitable funds for their trustee duties.
The Board of Cwm Taf Morgannwg UHB is in overall control of all funds held by the Charity. Due to the number of funds held for specific purposes, the Trustees delegate day-to-day administration to Fund Managers. These managers oversee the balances of funds and identify expenditure needs where appropriate.
Any expenditure below £50k is approved in line with the delegation of duties, subject to confirmation from the Finance Department that sufficient funds are available and the expenditure item is consistent with the fund’s objectives. Applications for spending requests of over £50k will require approval of the Charitable Funds Committee.
The accounting records and day-to-day administration of the funds are dealt with by the Finance Department located at Dewi Sant Hospital, Albert Road, Pontypridd, Mid Glamorgan, CF37 1LB.
Exposure to Risk
The Chief Executive of the UHB together with the other directors is responsible for ensuring that an effective system of financial control is maintained. The Chief Executive and other directors are also responsible for reviewing the effectiveness of this system. The Charity operates under the same standing financial instructions and financial control procedures that are applied to the Board’s main operations.
Income and Expenditure is monitored for each individual fund to ensure that spending and firm financial commitments remain within available funds. The Trustees receive periodic reports highlighting the main issues and risks facing the Charity.
5
The Charity has identified and examined all major risks that they are exposed to and systems have been established to mitigate these risks. This is supported by the use of Internal Audit to monitor the existing systems to confirm the existence of suitable controls and that these controls are operational. There are no major risks that have been identified other than those associated with the normal fluctuations in the value of investments and the level of reserves available to mitigate the impact of any losses. There are procedures in place to continually review the investment policy and to ensure that spending and financial commitments remain in line with available resources.
OBJECTIVES and ACTIVITIES for the public benefit
Objects and Purposes
The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Charity’s aims and objectives.
The Trustees shall hold the funds upon trust to apply the income, and at their discretion so far as permissible, the capital, for any charitable purpose or purposes relating to the National Health Service (wholly or mainly for the service provided by Cwm Taf Morgannwg UHB) and for any other Health Services for which specific monies have been donated for use within the UK or overseas.
The Cwm Taf Morgannwg NHS General Charitable Fund is funded by donations and legacies received from patients, their relatives, and the general public and other external organisations. It is a grant-making charity, the purpose of which is the relief of those who are ill or disabled and the advancement of education through training.
The overall strategy of the Charity, to enable it to provide this support is achieved by the following means:
Patients Expenditure - Through the purchase of equipment and the provision of services and facilities not normally provided or in addition to the normal NHS provision.
Staff Expenditure - a) Motivation of staff, by improving staff facilities and by providing services that improve staff wellbeing.
b) Education support for staff supplementing that provided by the UHB.
Capital Equipment - By the purchase of equipment. Research - By the funding of staff and purchase of equipment used in the research and development projects carried out by the UHB.
6
The role of trustee of the Charity is performed by the corporate body of Cwm Taf Morgannwg UHB and the majority of grant payments made by the Charity are made to the UHB as contributions to the NHS. Other grant payments are made for patient and staff welfare and amenities. The Charity meets its objective by applying its funds and income to make such grant payments, examples of which are given in the Financial Review section of this report.
Grant Making Policy
The Grant making policy is dictated by the objects and purposes of the Charity for the public benefit. Grant payments are made for exclusively charitable purposes in support of Cwm Taf Morgannwg UHB. The Fund Managers who have delegated management of the individual funds may identify possible expenditure provided it falls within the object of the fund, is a reasonable charge to charitable funds and is in furtherance of the objects of the charity. Each item of expenditure is monitored to ensure compliance with these criteria and is then submitted for approval in line with the scheme of delegation of duties.
ACHIEVEMENTS and PERFORMANCE
To fulfil the charitable aims and objectives, the strategy of the charitable funds under the control of Cwm Taf Morgannwg UHB, as Corporate Trustee, is to support the UHB by providing funds to support a wide range of charitable and health related activities benefiting both patients and staff. In general they are used to purchase the varied additional goods and services that the NHS is unable to provide.
The Charity relies on the generosity of patients, their relatives and other donors who are familiar with or have experienced the care of the services within the Cwm Taf Morgannwg UHB for its income.
In addition to this, the NHS Charities Together Covid Appeal raised over £150m across Britain in the last 18 months. In 2020/21 they allocated Stage 1 grants to individual NHS charities of which Cwm Taf Morgannwg UHB Charitable Fund received £168,100 in 2020/21. Subsequent two stages of grant application process has started during 2021/22. These grants will be used as support for NHS staff, patients and for emergency response volunteers.
The Charity is registered with HMRC to recover gift aid income and gift aid income reclaimable for 2021-22 is £2k.
During the year the Charity paid total grants of £403k (2020-21: £389k); these are detailed in note 7 of the accounts.
Examples of how the Charity has achieved its objectives are:
Patients Expenditure - including purchase of specialist chairs, items for the kitchen areas and producing a mural.
Research - Research grants were used to enable staff to attend conferences and modification of a website.
7
Technical -
This included specialised gym equipment, hand held digitised vein viewing devices, and oximeters.
Capital -
This included a new SMOTS audio-visual healthcare simulation recording system at Endoscopy Department, RGH Hospital.
Further details of expenditure are shown in the Financial Review.
The Charity has adopted an investment strategy which aims to deliver a positive real return with a minimum of risk. The Trustees appointed CCLA Investment Management Limited as independent investment advisors. Details of investments and returns are highlighted in the Investment section below.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves Policy
Reserves are those funds retained which can be freely used at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of any of the Charity’s objectives. Reserves therefore do not include funds that have restrictions on them or funds that have been obtained for a specific purpose.
As the Charity’s financial procedures do not allow expenditure to be committed without the funds in place then the charity will always be able to meet its commitments as they fall due. The unrestricted reserves at 31[st] March 2022 stand at £3,085k, with £138k from this amount being committed for future expenditure.
Movement in Net Assets
The net assets of the Charitable Funds as at 31[st] March 2022 were £4,222k (2020-21:£3,836k). This comprised of unrestricted funds of £3,085k (202021:£2,885k) and restricted funds of £1,137k (2020-21:£951k). Overall net assets increased by £386k reflecting an excess of income over expenditure. The Charity’s Trustees are under a duty to apply the charity’s income within a reasonable time of receiving it. Fund managers have, therefore, been actively encouraged to identify expenditure that would further the objectives of the Charity.
Income
The charity continues to rely on donations, legacies and investment income as its main sources of income. However in the recent years it also received grant allocations, including £168k received in 2020-21 from NHS Charities Together.
The Trustees are extremely grateful to those members of the public, staff and organisations who have made contributions to the charitable funds during the last financial year.

-

Legacies
During the year, the Charity was a beneficiary of legacies with a total value of £367k (2020-21: £155k).
All legacies, where contact details are available, are acknowledged formally with a letter of thanks to the family.
Grants
During the year, the Charity received grants totalling £29k (2020-21: £183k). In addition, Stage 2 and Stage 3 NHS Charities Together grant application process commenced during 2021-22 with anticipated receipt in 2022-23.
Investments
CCLA Investment Management Limited is appointed as Investment Advisors to the Charity.
9
Total amount invested in the Charities Ethical Investment Fund at the start of 2021-22 was £1,500k with a market value of £2,144k. An additional £600k was invested in the same fund in the 2nd quarter of the year, bringing the total balance invested as at 31st March 2022 to £2,100k. No other investments were held.
The Market Value of the fund at 31[st] March 2022 was £2,906k, showing a cumulative net gain of £806k. £644k of this gain was recognised previously in the account and as detailed within Note 13 of the Financial Statements; the £162k of increase during this reporting period is reflected in 2021-22 annual accounts.
During the year the Charity received £79k (2020-21: £65k) as a dividend on the Ethical Investment Fund. The charges levied by CCLA are reflected within the market price of the units, and therefore, the value of the investment at the Balance Sheet date.
Exposure to fluctuations in the value of its investments are continually reviewed and reported to the Corporate Trustees. Quarterly Investment reports are prepared by CCLA and an annual presentation from the Investment Advisors updates the Trustees on the current and forecast market trends.
Liquidity risk is managed through having sufficient funds held in cash deposits to meet all known commitments without having to realise any investments that are subject to market fluctuations.
The Investment Strategy of the Health Board’s Charitable Funds states that: “Should the reserve exceed 20% of overall investment, any excess will be distributed to individual fund balances, subject to Charitable Fund Committee approval.” The surplus exceeding 20% as at the end of June 2021 was £497k. Subsequent to the Committee approval, the excess gain was distributed to the fund balances as detailed in Notes 18 and 19 of the accounts.
Expenditure
The Charity is primarily a grant making body, providing grants to the Cwm Taf Morgannwg UHB, from which many areas of service provision benefit. During 2021-22, charitable expenditure on direct charitable activity, including support costs, totalled £403k (2020-21: £389k).

The detail of the expenditure on Charitable Activities is shown in the annual accounts within Note 7.
A number of specific highlights during the year for charitable expenditure are listed below:
-
£5k for refurbishment of kitchen at Y Bwthyn Newydd palliative care unit at POW Hospital.
-
£218k has been used to support staff training and welfare including attending various courses & contributions towards the conference fees; counselling services for staff well-being and various other schemes to help with staff wellbeing
-
£29k for SMOTS audio-visual healthcare simulation recording system at Endoscopy Department, RGH Hospital.
Support Costs
The support costs of administration for 2021-22 were £98k (2020-21: £80k). These figures are shown in the annual accounts within Note 7 and Note 10 under support costs and split between finance and administration costs.
The charity does not directly employ any members of staff, finance and administration costs relate to the cost of staff recharged from Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Local Health Board.
The difference between the dividend income and the support costs are allocated to the charitable funds on an average fund balance basis.
On behalf of the staff and patients who have benefited from the improved services the Trustees would like to thank all patients, relatives, staff and members of the public who have made charitable donations and helped with fundraising activities. The level of activity will continue to be dependent upon the generosity of these donors and the receipt of legacies. The Trustees would also like to thank the organisations who have provided the Charity with grants during the year.

Note on the accounts
1 Accounting Policies
(a) Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared under the historic cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at fair value.
The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015.
The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’. This departure has involved following Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern. There are no material uncertainties affecting the current year’s accounts.
In future years, the key risks to the Charity are a fall in income from donations or investment income but the trustees have arrangements in place to mitigate those risks (see the risk management and reserves sections of the annual report for more information).
The Charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
17
(b) Funds structure
Where there is a legal restriction on the purpose to which a fund may be put, the fund is classified either as:
-
●A restricted fund or
-
●An endowment fund.
Restricted funds are those where the donor has provided for the donation to be spent in furtherance of a specified charitable purpose. The Charity’s restricted funds tend to result from appeals or legacies for specified purposes.
Endowment funds arise when the donor has expressly provided that the gift is to be invested and only the income of the fund may be spent. These funds are sub analysed between those where the Trustees have the discretion to spend the capital (expendable endowment) and those where there is no discretion to expend the capital (permanent endowment).
Those funds which are neither endowment nor restricted income funds, are unrestricted income funds which are sub analysed between designated (earmarked) funds where the Trustees have set aside amounts to be used for specific purposes or which reflect the non-binding wishes of donors and unrestricted funds which are at the Trustees’ discretion, including the general fund which represents the charity’s reserves. The major funds held in each of these categories are disclosed in note 19.
(c) Incoming resources
Income consists of donations, legacies, income from charitable activities and investment income.
Donations are accounted for when received by the charity. All other income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the resources, it is probable (more likely than not) that the resources will be received and the monetary value of incoming resources can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Where there are terms or conditions attached to incoming resources, particularly grants, then these terms or conditions must be met before the income is recognised as the entitlement condition will not be satisfied until that point. Where terms or conditions have not been met or uncertainty exists as to whether they can be met then the relevant income is not recognised in the year but deferred and shown on the balance sheet as deferred income.
(d) Incoming resources from legacies
Legacies are accounted for as incoming resources either upon receipt or where the receipt of the legacy is probable, whichever falls sooner.
Receipt is probable when:
-
●Confirmation has been received from the representatives of the estate(s) that probate has been granted
-
●The executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate to pay the legacy and
-
●All conditions attached to the legacy have been fulfilled or are within the charity’s control.
If there is uncertainty as to the amount of the legacy and it cannot be reliably estimated then the legacy is shown as a contingent asset until all of the conditions for income recognition are met.
18
(e) Incoming resources from endowment funds
The Charity has not received nor does it hold any endowment funds.
(f) Resources expended and irrecoverable VAT
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to each category of expense shown in the Statement of Financial Activities. Expenditure is recognised when the following criteria are met:
-
●There is a present legal or constructive obligation resulting from a past event
-
●It is more likely than not that a transfer of benefits (usually a cash payment) will be required in settlement
-
●The amount of the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred.
(g) Recognition of expenditure and associated liabilities as a result of grants
Grants payable are payments made to linked, related party or third party NHS bodies and non NHS bodies, in furtherance of the charitable objectives of the funds held on trust, primarily relief of those who are sick.
Grant payments are recognised as expenditure when the conditions for their payment have been met or where there is a constructive obligation to make a payment.
A constructive obligation arises when:
-
●We have communicated our intention to award a grant to a recipient who then has a reasonable expectation that they will receive a grant
-
●We have made a public announcement about a commitment which is specific enough for the recipient to have a reasonable expectation that they will receive a grant
-
●There is an established pattern of practice which indicates to the recipient that we will honour our commitment.
The Trustees have control over the amount and timing of grant payments and consequently where approval has been given by the trustees and any of the above criteria have been met then a liability is recognised. Grants are not usually awarded with conditions attached. However, when they are then those conditions have to be met before the liability is recognised.
Where an intention has not been communicated, then no expenditure is recognised but an appropriate designation is made in the appropriate fund. If a grant has been offered but there is uncertainty as to whether it will be accepted or whether conditions will be met then no liability is recognised but a contingent liability is disclosed.
(h) Allocation of support costs
Support costs are those costs which do not relate directly to a single activity. These include staff costs, costs of administration, internal and external audit costs. Support costs have been apportioned between fundraising costs and charitable activities on an appropriate basis. The analysis of support costs and the bases of apportionment applied are shown in note 10. Where costs are apportioned to unrestricted funds the cost is charged to a general purpose fund, where costs are apportioned to restrictced funds, the cost is charged to each individual fund.
(i) Fundraising costs
The costs of generating funds are those costs attributable to generating income for the charity, other than those costs incurred in undertaking charitable activities or the costs incurred in undertaking trading activities in furtherance of the charity’s objects. The Charity does not currently undertake any fund raising activity.
19
(j) Charitable activities
Costs of charitable activities comprise all costs incurred in the pursuit of the charitable objects of the Charity. These costs, where not wholly attributable, are apportioned between the categories of charitable expenditure in addition to the direct costs. The total costs of each category of charitable expenditure include an apportionment of support costs as shown in note 7.
(k) Debtors
Debtors are amounts owed to the Charity. They are measured on the basis of their recoverable amount.
(l) Fixed Asset Investments
Investments are a form of basic financial instrument. Fixed Asset investments are initially recognised at their transaction value and are subsequently measured at their fair value (market value) at the balance sheet date. The Statement of Financial Activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposal throughout the year. Quoted stocks and shares are included in the Balance Sheet at the current mid price market value quoted by the investment analyst, excluding dividend. The SORP recommends that the bid price market price be used in valuing stocks and shares, although the difference between the bid and mid market price is not material. Other investments are included at the trustees' best estimate of market value.
The main form of financial risk faced by the charity is that of volatility in equity markets and investment markets due to the wider economic conditions, the attitude of investors to investment risk and changes in sentiment concerning equities and within particular sectors or sub sectors. Further information on the Charity's investments can be found in note 13.
(m) 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. Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments, are invested in a long-term plan under charities ethical investment fund.
(n) Creditors
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.
Amounts which are owed in more than a year are shown as long term creditors.
(o) Realised gains and losses
All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and opening carrying value (purchase date if later). Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the market value at the year end and opening carrying value (or purchase date if later).

Like all charities, the Charity is reliant on a team of volunteers for our smooth running.
They run events such as cake sales, sponsored events, sports challenges, tea parties and collections in order to raise funds.
In accordance with the SORP, due to the absence of any reliable measurement basis, the contribution of these volunteers is not recognised in the accounts.

8.Analysis of grants
The Charity does not make grants to individuals. All grants are made to Cwm Taf Morgannwg Health Board to provide for the care of NHS patients in furtherance of our charitable aims. The total cost of making grants, including support costs, is disclosed on the face of the Statement of Financial Activities and the actual funds spent on each category of charitable activity, is disclosed in note 7.
The trustees operate a scheme of delegation for the majority of the charitable funds, under which fund advisors manage the day to day disbursements on their projects in accordance with the directions set out by the trustees in charity standing orders and financial instructions. Funds managed under the scheme of delegation represent ongoing activities and it is not possible to segment these activities into discrete individual grant awards. The trustees do make individual grant awards based on invited applications from Cwm Taf Morgannwg Health Board.

As described in notes 7 and 8, the charity awards a number of grants in the year. Many grants are awarded and paid out in the same financial year. However, some grants, especially those relating to research and development or for funding a specific posts are multi-year grants paid over a longer period.
10. Allocation of support costs
Support and overhead costs are allocated between fundraising activities and charitable activities. Governance costs are those support costs which relate to the strategic and day to day management of a charity. The average fund balance is used as the general basis of apportionment of support costs. Where the cost is apportioned to an unrestricted fund this is charged to the health board wide general pupose fund, and where it is apportioned to a restricted fund this is charged to each individual fund.

11. Staff costs, Trustees' remuneration, benefits and expenses
The Charity does not make any payments for remuneration nor to reimburse expenses to the Charity trustees for their work undertaken as trustee.
The charity has no employees. Staff services are provided to the Charity from Cwm Taf Morgannwg Health Board, the corporate Trustee of the charitable trust, which has received reimbursement from the charitable trust of £72,368 (2021: £68,545)

12. Auditors remuneration
Auditors’ remuneration of £25,000 (2020-21: £10,000) relates to Audit Wales’ audit of the statutory annual report and accounts.
While in 2020-21 the Charity was charged £10,000 by the Health Board, Audit Wales’ fee estimate for 2020-21 was £25,000. Given the increase in costs associated with a full audit from 2019-20, the Health Board’s management agreed to fund actual audit costs in excess of the £10,000 in 2019-20 and 2020-21.
The Charity is charged the full Audit Wales' fee estimate of £25,000 in 2021-22.
13. Fixed asset investments

Total 2020-21 £000 1,785 0 0 359 2,144 |
|---|---|---|
All investments are carried at their fair value.
Total amount invested in the Charities Ethical Investment Fund managed by CCLA Fund Managers Ltd, at the start of the year was £1.5m. An additional £0.6m was invested in the same fund in the 2nd quarter of 2021-22 bringing the total balance invested as at 31st March 2022 to £2.1m. The Market Value of the fund at 31[st] March 2022 was £2.906m., showing a cumulative net gain of £0.806m. No other investments were held.
The main investment risk lies in the volatility of the investment markets which affects both the value of those investments and dividend yields. The Charity attempts to manage this risk by:
· Investing long-term, and only investing cash not required for operational purposes in the foreseeable future
· Appointing CCLA to provide advice on investments and market situations
· Investing in a highly diversified fund thus spreading risk over asset classes and geographical areas.
Liquidity risk is managed through having sufficient funds held in cash deposits to meet all known commitments without having to realise any investments that are subject to market fluctuations.

18. Transfer between funds
The transfers between funds reflect the consolidation of small value or little used funds to ensure they remain of suitable value and better purpose to meet the objectives of the fund. Where similar purpose funds are identified there may also be transfers between those funds. Fund number 9302 was deemed to be similar to another restricted fund, therefore the £3k balance was transferred from unrestricted to restricted funds.
The Investment Strategy of the Charitable Funds states that " Should the reserve exceed 20% of overall investment, any excess will be distributed to individual fund balances, subject to Charitable Fund Committee approval." The surplus exceeding 20% as at the end of June 2021 was £497k. Subsequent to the Charitable Fund Committee approval, the excess gain was distributed to funds on an average fund balance methodology. In accordance with this methodology £200k was distributed to individual restricted funds and the remaining £297k of gain attributed to unrestricted funds was split between £50k allocated to an enablement fund and £247k was allocated to the General Purpose fund. The distribution of this gain is disclosed as transfers of funds within Note 19b and 19c.

Statement of Trustee’s Responsibilities
The Trustee is responsible for preparing the Trustee’s Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards.
The law applicable to Charities in England and Wales requires the trustee to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustee is required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
Observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP;
-
Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the
-
financial statements; and
-
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will
-
continue in operation.
The Trustee is responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the charity which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations and the provisions of the trust deed. The trustee is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustee confirms that they have complied with the above requirements in preparing the accounts.
By order of the trustee:

The independent auditor’s report of the Auditor General for Wales to the Trustee of Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Local Health Board Charity
Report on the audit of the financial statements
Opinion
I have audited the financial statements of Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Local Health Board Charity for the year ended 31 March 2022 under the Charities Act 2011. These comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. 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 my opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at 31 March 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources 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 Charities Act 2011.
Basis for opinion
I conducted my audit in accordance with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing in the UK (ISAs (UK)) and Practice Note 10 ‘Audit of Financial Statements of Public Sector Entities in the United Kingdom’. My responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of my report. I am independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to my audit of the financial statements in the UK including the Financial Reporting Council’s Ethical Standard, and I have fulfilled my other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, I have concluded that the use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work I have performed, I have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the body’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
My responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustee with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Report on other requirements
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and my auditor’s report thereon. The trustee is responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. My opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in my report, I do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
My responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If I identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, I am required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work I have performed, I conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, I am required to report that fact.
I have nothing to report in this regard.
Matters on which I report by exception
I have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require me to report to you if, in my opinion:
-
the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the trustee’s report;
-
sufficient accounting records have not been kept;
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
I have not received all of the information and explanations I require for my audit.
Responsibilities
Responsibilities of the trustee for the financial statements
As explained more fully in the statement of trustee responsibilities set out on page 29, the trustee is responsible for preparing the financial statements in accordance with the Charities Act 2011, for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustee determines 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 trustee is responsible for 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 deemed inappropriate.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
I have been appointed as auditor under section 150 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act.
My 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 my 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.
My procedures included the following:
-
Enquiring of management, the Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Local Health Board Charity’s head of internal audit and those charged with governance, including obtaining and reviewing supporting documentation relating to Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Local Health Board Charity’s policies and procedures concerned with:
-
identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance;
-
detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud; and
-
the internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations.
-
Considering as an audit team how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud. As part of this discussion, I identified potential for fraud in the following areas: revenue recognition, posting of unusual journals;
-
Obtaining an understanding of Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Local Health Board Charity’s framework of authority as well as other legal and regulatory frameworks that the Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Local Health Board Charity operates in, focusing on those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the financial statements or that had a fundamental effect on the operations of Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Local Health Board Charity.
In addition to the above, my procedures to respond to identified risks included the following:
-
reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with relevant laws and regulations discussed above;
-
enquiring of management and those charged with governance about actual and potential litigation and claims;
-
reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
-
in addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business; and
I also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all audit team and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.
The extent to which my procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is affected by the inherent difficulty in detecting irregularities, the effectiveness of the Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Local Health Board Charity’s controls, and the nature, timing and extent of the audit procedures performed.
A further description of the auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of my auditor’s report.
Adrian Crompton 24 Cathedral Road Auditor General for Wales Cardiff 27 January 2023 CF11 9LJ
The maintenance and integrity of the Health Board’s website is the responsibility of the Accountable Officer. The work carried out by auditors does not involve consideration of these these matters and accordingly auditors accept no responsibility for any changes that may have occurred to the financial statements since they were initially presented on the website.
