We also work closely with many local individuals, corporates and community groups to help make a difference.
The key aim of the charity is to help "Sprinkle Some Magic" in specific ways including:
-

We are able to offer support in these areas through income generated in the following ways:
Donations

Corporate partnerships

The team act as the public interface and day-to-day contact for donors and fundraisers. They are also responsible for promoting and marketing the charity in the wider local community. All fundraising staff are employed by the Trust and the costs are recharged to the Charity.

- 2020 21: The year at a glance
The onset of Covid in March 2020 presented a number of challenges for SWFT Charity. The impact of the virus made it necessary for the team to review and adapt ways of working and fundraising whilst operating safely within the government guidelines. With face to face and mass participation events being cancelled, this meant that many fundraising initiatives had to be replaced by a virtual format.
With the more conventional and traditional ways of fundraising being put on hold, many of our supporters found new and innovative ways to raise funds for their chosen wards and departments. The broad and alternative range of fundraising undertaken was truly inspirational. In cases where mass participation events were postponed, many of our supporters still pressed ahead to fulfil their fundraising commitments by completing solo virtual sponsored runs and cycles, demonstrating great resolve and endless determination.
In April 2020, SWFT Charity launched the Covid-19 SWFT Support Appeal. The purpose of the appeal was to raise funds to support the health and wellbeing of the staff throughout this difficult time. A dedicated fund, the “Staff Wellbeing” Fund was set up to host donations from the appeal. Thanks to the generosity of individuals, community groups and corporates in the local area, the appeal raised £55,500. The funds have and continue to be used in a number of ways including:
As the virus evolves and working practices change, the charity team continue to promote the awareness of the new fund among staff as well as through the staff Health and Wellbeing Group, encouraging staff to identify additional ways in which the charity can offer support at this difficult time.
Since the start of the pandemic, there has been a huge national outpouring of love for the NHS. Through the amazing fundraising efforts of the late Sir Captain Tom Moore along with others, SWFT Charity benefited by receiving grants totalling £174,000 from NHS Charities Together. Additional financial support is expected in 2021-22.
Thanks to the aforementioned financial support, we were able to help our staff and patients during these trying times in many ways including:
-
Improving and refurbishing a number of staff areas, helping to create more comfortable environments
-
The funding of a Psychologist and a Physiotherapist post to help support the mental and physical health of staff
-
The purchase of iPads to enable patients to stay in touch with their loved ones
-
The provision of activity packs to help keep patients entertained during visiting restrictions
-
The funding of toiletries and sweets for in patients unable to have visitors during this period
-
The purchase of Christmas gifts for patients, restricted by Covid, making family visits not possible over the festive season
Throughout the year, there were also many other opportunities in which SWFT Charity was able to help “sprinkle some magic” across the Trust, some examples can be found below:
Over the course of the year, SWFT Charity received a total of over £413,000 legacies and are extremely grateful to the 14 individuals for remembering South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust in their wills. These legacies will help greatly in our care of future patients.
During the last 12 months, the Fundraising team has continued to develop the charity brand. One of the most significant developments has been the opening of the SWFT Charity Hub. The new facility, located by the main entrance of Warwick Hospital, provides an onsite charity base/presence while acting as a public interface between the charity and supporters.
In June, three contactless payment devices were introduced and installed at the Warwick and Leamington Spa sites. The new devices provide a straightforward and easy way for those wishing to make a donation.
The online payment platform via the SWFT Charity website was also extended. Following website development, the system now allows donors to make credit/debit payments via Worldpay. Since its inception, the new facility has resulted in a significant increase in the number of online donations.
Building on from earlier staff engagement in 2019/20, we have continued to experience an extremely positive increase, year on year, in the amount of fundraising undertaken by our staff. Many teams hosted virtual raffles, took on personal sponsorship challenges and organised virtual fundraising events for their wards/departments/service. In all cases, the staff identified specific items that the funds would be used for to help enhance the experience of their patients.

Despite the challenges presented by Covid, government restrictions did not deter or dampen the enthusiasm of our inspirational fundraisers during 20/21. SWFT Charity supporters, faced with the limitations of lockdown sought out a variety of ways in which to continue to fundraise.
Many traditional forms of fundraising such as raffles, teas and runs became virtual events. Here are just a few examples below...
Friends Jodie Blackwell and Jo McGaffin organised an online raffle. The local businesswomen reached out to their local small business community appealing for donations. With over 60 firms donating raffle prizes, the raffle raised an amazing £4,475 for the staff wellbeing fund.
Scott Simpson, Owner and MD of local company Auto Fasteners asked family and friends to take up a running challenge. The company donated £10 for every KM completed. An amazing 138 runners clocked up 1050km, resulting in a £10,500 donation for the Warwick General Purposes Fund.
Due to lockdown restrictions, it was not possible for the annual Warwickshire Bluebell Walk to take place. However, the land owners, Jon and Jo Haimes successfully managed to take the beautiful scenes of the bluebells to the local community by making a video and offering a virtual viewing. Through online donations, an incredible £3,130 was raised for the staff wellbeing fund.
During 2020/21, SWFT Charity also received some amazing support from our junior fundraisers.
Faced with the limitations of lockdown, young minds devised some innovative ways to fundraise safely during the pandemic while support causes close to their hearts. Some of these inspirational fundraisers included...
Local twins Lottie and Jude wanted to raise funds for our Children's Ward. During May, the siblings walked 60 miles and raised £1,120 for the MacGregor Ward Fund.

Management of the Charitable Fund
Organisation Structure
Under the terms of the Trust Deed, the SWFT Charity is administered and managed by the Corporate Trustee, South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust, with Mr. Glen Burley as Chief Executive. Therefore, the Charity Trustee comprises of the Executive Directors and Non-Executive Directors of South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust and is appointed in accordance with the Foundation Trust’s constitution (see Appendix A for details of the Directors). Trustees meetings are held on a quarterly basis.
Members of the Charity Trustee receive Trust induction and training, in conjunction with Trust’s Constitution, policies and procedures that are made available to them. The Trustee is aware of the Charity’s Commission’s publication on public benefit, and this guidance is adhered to when making decisions.
A Fundraising Manager and Fundraising Coordinator are now in place and are responsible for liaising with staff, patients, visitors and external stakeholders to encourage fundraising across the SWFT Charity. The team are overseen by the Head of Communications and Fundraising. Throughout the year the team implemented a number of campaigns to raise awareness of SWFT Charity and this is across the wide range of channels including social media, posters and press releases to publicise fundraising activity.
The Fundraising team is responsible for the day to day administration and finance function of the Charity, under the direction of the Director of Finance of the Trust.
Decision Making
Prior to committing the Charity to expenditure, a detailed description must be given on a Charitable Expenditure Form and approval is given when all of the criteria are attained. The financial limits are as follows:
Up to £5,000 Fund Manager Between £5,000 and £15,000 Chief Executive & Managing Director More than £15,000 Trustee
Applications for items above £15,000 which are made between Trustee meetings can be authorised by the Managing Director and Director of Finance jointly. These applications are subsequently taken to the Trustee meeting for confirmation at the next available meeting.
Unauthorised forms, or those only containing one signature, are returned to the originator for authorisation before any payment is made.
Sources of Funds
The main sources of funds to the Charity continue to come from three main sources namely:
The Charity recognises the importance of all these sources of income and works hard to build relationships with both the local community and grant making trusts in order to maximise income.
Donations/Legacies Processes
By working closely together, the Fundraising and Finance teams have developed and streamlined the process for dealing with donations. This process has been facilitated and enhanced through the use of the Harlequin CRM system. All communication between the charity and supporters are recorded and stored on the database. A proactive and routine approach is also in place to reclaim Gift Aid on all donations, whenever possible. Regular monthly meetings are held between the two functions.
In addition to donation envelopes now being present on many of the wards/departments within the Trust, a number of bespoke charity displays have been added over the last year outside wards and on hospital corridors. These additional graphics provide information and highlight how to make donations / obtain fundraising information and include full charity contact details. Visitors to the Warwick hospital site will also find pop up banners advertising the new charity hub and where to find it.

Financial Report
During the year, the charity received funds totalling £939,000 from donations, legacies, grants, fundraising activities and investment income. A breakdown of the various income streams is displayed below:
The Charity’s expenditure mostly took the form of grants made payable to South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust. The diagram below displays a breakdown of the areas of the £281,000 grants awarded.
The remainder of the charitable expenditure reported in the accounts relates to support cost allocations (£31,000) and fundraising costs (£92,000). se
The Trustee has continued to use funds to enhance the experience and environment for patients’, beyond the normal NHS provisions. During 2020/21, this has included:
£94,000 spent on supporting patients around the Trust, including: e Member of staff for Haematology to support research; e Member of staff for Oncology to support research.
Some of the purchases made during 2020/21 can be viewed below
Through funds raised by local mum Liz Roberts and baby son, Theo, staff on MacGregor Children’s Ward were able to purchase a sensory trunk. The new kit houses a store of sensory equipment that is ideal for therapy, education and play activities.
With visiting restrictions due to the pandemic, SWFT Charity liaised with the Patient Activity Coordinator, using funds to create activity packs. At these challenging times, the packs helped to keep patients of all ages entertained during hospital stays.
As of 31 March 2021, the Charity has total funds of £1,494,000 split across the 3 classifications of funds as follows:
Endowment: where the “lump sum” donation remains the same and only the interest is available for use. Investment gains are added to the fund. The balance at 31 March 2021 was £5k (31 March 2020 £5k)
Restricted: where the donation has been made for a specific purpose – this usually applies to legacies and appeals. The balance at 31 March 2021 was £391k (31 March 2020 £40k)
Unrestricted: where the donation was general and is therefore available for any charitable purchase. The balance at 31 March 2021 was £1,098k (31 March 2020 £913k)
The Charity tries to manage funds in such a way as to ensure that there is flexibility over their use, as this ensures that small balances do not remain unused. As such restricted funds are kept to an absolute minimum. However, it is also very important to the Trustee that donors’ wishes are complied with wherever possible. The majority of personal donations come from patients or relatives who wish to donate to particular wards or departments to say “thank you” for the support received during treatment. It is vital that this money is spent in the way that the donor wishes.
Plans for 2021/22
Over the coming year, we plan to continue to dedicate resource to grant writing. We will be approaching a number of Trust and Foundations, requesting funding support for a range of projects identified through working closely with our Trust colleagues. As we start to emerge from the pandemic, we also have a number of events planned. These are as follows:
Other areas of focus for the SWFT Charity Team during 2021/22 will include:
Policies
The Funds Objectives and Procedures for the Deployment of Resources
The Charity’s objectives are set out in the Trust Deed and state that monies collected can be applied to any charitable purpose or purposes relating to the National Health Service. The Charity is used for the public benefit.
The Charity’s Investment Policy and withdrawals from the Charity are determined by the Trustee. Expenditure can only be incurred following the submission and subsequent approval of a “Request for Use of Donated Monies” form by a member of staff in accordance with the Trust’s Standing Financial Instructions.
With the exception of restricted funds, the objectives and aims of charitable funds expenditure is to be in line with one or more of the following priorities:
Spending priorities are reviewed annually by the Trustee.
The Trustee reviews the overall spend of the Charity on a quarterly basis to ensure that spend continues to support the objectives above.
Reserves
Trustee has a general policy not to accumulate funds in reserves but to utilise donations in accordance with the wishes of the donor as soon as is practically possible. The Charity does not have a specified target level of revenue or reserves. However, the Trustee is currently reviewing policies and will consider this aspect within the revised policy. Accumulated reserves at 31 March 2021 were £1,098k compared with £913k at 31 March 2020. This represents the unrestricted balances held by the charity.
The Trustee is mindful of the increase in reserves year on year but has acknowledged that the opportunities for clinical staff on the front line have been limited by the extremely difficult circumstances through 2020/21. In addition, the charity has also been grateful for the higher level of donations received, including from the national NHS Charity’s Together campaign.
Each year, managers of individual funds are asked to submit spending plans for the funds under their control and these are reviewed by the Trustee. Part of this review is to ensure that funds are used in the most appropriate way and in a way that is consistent with the overall planning process for South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust. As such there will be occasions where balances are built up in order to cover a larger item of equipment etc. Financial reports are prepared for individual ward managers/heads of department and monitoring reports are prepared for the Trustee meetings in order for them to discharge this review process.
Managing Risk
South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust has in place risk and governance policies in line with guidelines issued by the NHS.
The key risks associated with the SWFT Charity are in the main financially orientated. These risks include:
-
Failure of financial processes resulting in unauthorised or inappropriate use of charitable funds.
-
Reductions in income (donations) coupled with high commitments in respect of expenditure.
Risks surrounding charitable funds are reviewed by the Charitable Trustee during the year. In particular the following measures are in place:
Management Renumeration
No members of management are remunerated for their work relating to the charitable fund.
Related Parties
Patients of the Trust are the main beneficiary of the Charity. The Trust is the immediate parent and the Department of Health is the ultimate controlling party for the Trust. The Charity incurred charitable expenditure relating to the Trust, in the furtherance of its charitable objectives. During the year none of the members of the NHS Board of Directors' or senior
Going Concern
Expenditure is only authorised after it has been ascertained that there are sufficient funds within the individual charitable fund to support the expenditure. In addition, the Trustee asks fund managers to submit annual spending plans.
The Trustee therefore has a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate cash reserves to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these accounts.

Notes on the accounts
1. Accounting Policies
(a ) Basis of preparation
SWFT Charity is governed by a Trust Deed and is administered and managed by the Corporate Trustee, the South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust. The Charitable Fund operates as a public benefit entity.
The accounts have been prepared under the historic cost convention.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice "Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP 2019)" applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), effective 1 January 2019; and the Charities Act 2011.
The principal accounting policies are set out below.
- (b ) Funds structure
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor. Where the restriction requires the gift to be invested to produce income but the Trustee does not have the power to spend the capital, it is classed as permanent endowment.
Unrestricted income funds comprise those funds which the Trustee is free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charity's objectives. Unrestricted funds include designated funds, where the donor has made known their non binding wishes or where the Trustee, at its discretion, have created a fund for a specific purpose.
The Charity has an permanent endowment fund, the Woods Award, created by a gift from relatives of a former member of staff. Only the interest can be spent and the fund's use is restricted to the making of an annual nursing award to a member of staff who had made an outstanding contribution.
The major funds held in each of these categories are disclosed in note 17.
(c ) Income
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the resources, it is probable that the resources will be received and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Where there are terms or conditions attached to income, 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 ) Income from legacies
Legacies are accounted for as income either upon receipt or where the receipt of the legacy is probable.
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.
12
(e) Expenditure Expenditure is recognised when a liability is incurred, goods and services are supplied. Grant commitments are recognised when a constructive obligation arises that result in 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 Charity. A liability for such grants is recognised when approval has been given by the Trustee and the grant communicated to the recipient. The NHS 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 NHS Trust, and so a liability is recognised.
Charitable expenditure is aggregated within the most appropriate category.
Contractual arrangements are recognised as goods or services supplied.
(f ) Irrecoverable VAT
Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred.
(g ) Allocation of overhead and support costs
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 an appropriate basis. The analysis of support costs and the basis of apportionment applied are shown in note 8.
(h ) Costs of raising funds
The costs of raising funds are the costs associated with the fundraising staff costs.
(i ) Charitable activities Costs of charitable activities comprise all costs incurred in the pursuit of the charitable objects of the Charity.
(j ) Debtors
Debtors are amounts owed to the charity. They are measured on the basis of their recoverable amount.
(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. Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments, usually in 95 day notice interest bearing savings accounts.
(l) Going Concern
Expenditure is only authorised after it has been ascertained that there are sufficient funds within the individual charitable fund to support the expenditure. In addition, the Trustee asks fund managers to submit annual spending plans.
The Trustee therefore has a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate cash reserves to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these accounts.
(m) Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs), except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value (which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs), unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. If an arrangement constitutes a finance transaction, the financial asset or financial liability is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. The charity only holds financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
13
Note 2. Critical Accounting Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty
In the application of the Charity's accounting policies, which are described in note 1, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The Trustees do not consider there are any critical judgements or sources of estimation uncertainty requiring disclosure beyond the accounting policies listed above.

Independent auditor’s report to the trustees of SWFT Charity
Report on the audit of the financial statements
Opinion
In our opinion the financial statements of SWFT Charity (the ‘charity):
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31 March 2021 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 including Financial Reporting Standard 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland”; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
We have audited the financial statements which comprise:
-
the Statement of Financial Activities;
-
the Balance Sheet;
-
the Cash Flow Statement; and
-
the related notes 1 to 17
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).
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report.
We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the Financial Reporting Council’s (the FRC’s) Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively,
may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing 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 the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the FRC’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.
We considered the nature of the charity’s industry and its control environment, and reviewed the charity’s documentation of their policies and procedures relating to fraud and compliance with laws and regulations. We also enquired of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities.
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the charity operates in, and identified the key laws and regulations that:
-
had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and
-
disclosures in the financial statements. These included the UK Charities Act; and
-
do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance
-
with which may be fundamental to the charity’s ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty.
We discussed among the audit engagement team regarding the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements.
As a result of performing the above, we identified the greatest potential for fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations in the following area, and our specific procedures performed to address it are described below:
-
completeness of donation, legacy and grant income. To address this risk, we have tested a sample of legacy and donation income from source records to their supporting evidence, including bank statements and board minutes, and recorded income, and assessed the classification of the income as either restricted or unrestricted; and
-
classification of funds between restricted and unrestricted. To address this risk we have tested a sample of restricted income and expenditure to their supporting evidence to assess whether they have been classified appropriately.
In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override. In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; assessed whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and evaluated the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.
In addition to the above, our procedures to respond to the risks identified included the following:
-
reviewing financial statement disclosures by testing to supporting
-
documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements;
-
performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected
-
relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud;
-
enquiring of management concerning actual and potential litigation and
-
claims, and instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations; and
-
reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.
Report on other legal and regulatory requirements
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
Under the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 we are required to report in respect of the following matters if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the trustees’ report; or
-
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
We have nothing to report in respect of these matters.
