Introduction
We are pleased to welcome you to the Cardiff & Vale Health Charity Annual Report 2023 - 2024.
As we reflect on the past year, it is evident that Cardiff & Vale Health Charity has remained steadfast in its commitment to supporting Cardiff and Vale University Health Board in the delivery of healthcare and well-being services to our community.
This annual report captures not just our achievements but also the resilience and adaptability of our team, partners, and supporters in the face of unprecedented challenges.
The cost of living crisis has cast a long shadow over many aspects of daily life, affecting the most vulnerable among us. Like all charities, the Health Charity is facing economic challenges. Rising costs post pandemic have strained household budgets and adversely impacted donations and income activity for charities across the UK. As such, the Health Charity has needed to review it’s current and future size, scale and capacity.
Throughout the year, the Health Charity has continued to deliver essential support to those in need, thanks to the hard work and commitment of team members, and the incredible generosity of our dedicated fundraisers, volunteers, supporters and partners.
As a Board of Trustees and Charitable Funds Committee, we have requested a review based upon the current financial position and we will be in a position to update further on how we are addressing these challenges and creating a longer term more sustainable position.
To all the Health Charity donors, colleagues and members of the public who give so generously, thank you all for your continued support.

Greener Communities Fund to support Grow Cardiff
have supported the installation of much of the new physical landscaping features across the three Grow Well gardens, Delivery of the ‘Creative Grow Well’ project to ensure patients who struggle with the cold, remain engaged in indoor, nature-based creative activities over the coldest winter months.
Cardiff & Vale Health Charity was delighted to be awarded a grant to support Grow Well, a green social prescribing project at therapeutic community garden sites across Cardiff. The grant is part of a total of nearly £1.2million allocated to create and improve green spaces across the UK, thanks to a new Greener Communities Fund from environmental charity Hubbub and NHS Charities Together, funded by proceeds from the Starbucks 5p cup charge.
The Health Charity was one of ten NHS charities, and the only one in Wales, chosen as a recipient of these funds to help improve the health and wellbeing of local people and communities, including NHS staff. The benefits of the projects include improved mental health, reduced social isolation and access to healthy diets, as well as a positive impact on the local environment. The projects also facilitated improvements to community spaces and increased access to nature for people with limited opportunities, such as hospital patients and visitors, people living in urban communities or specific community groups.
This is an ongoing two year project, and during the first year, an example of the engagement activities for the Grow Well Project have included:
- 124 weekly therapeutic growing sessions across the 3 Grow Well community garden sites enabling patients and self-referrals to engage in therapeutic community garden activities, co-designing the different gardens, building beds, seed sowing, planting out, watering harvesting as well as arts and crafts in the garden, cooking, building and wildlife feeding and habitat creation.

Ways to Donate and Support Our Services
Make it Better Fund
Many donors and fundraisers choose to make a general donation to the Health Charity’s Make it Better Fund. By working closely with clinical colleague leads, we can ensure unrestricted funds are directed where they are needed most. Whether to enhance patient care or support the wellbeing of hard-working colleagues, who care for loved ones, we will diligently manage all donations so they are used to provide the best support possible.
Charity Partner or Charity of the Year
Becoming a charity partner is a fantastic way of contributing to a good cause and getting your work colleagues together to have some fun. Hundreds of businesses have donated valuable skills, time and money to the Health Charity over the years and we appreciate every penny they have raised.
Dedicated Funds donations
We understand that some donors choose to support a service or department which they and their loved ones have personal experience of. A wonderful example of this are the amazing fundraisers pictured, who have raised funds for Paediatric Cardiology Services.
Zac and Carter’s fundraiser
Brothers Zac and Carter embarked on an inspiring journey in January, walking 234 kilometres - the equivalent of two ultramarathons. What makes this challenge even more remarkable is that both brothers live with heart conditions.

Charitable Funds
The Charity is made up of more than 300 different funds, each with a specific purpose whether for research, training or for a specific area of a hospital or department. All money received is allocated to these funds. The general purpose fund is used where the donor wishes the Charity to allocate money to support projects and activities most in need of support across the whole of the UHB. Each fund is managed by a specialist fund holder – generally a specialist in the particular field relevant to the fund. The Charity is responsible for providing guidance, financial information and advice to fund holders.
We manage three types of funds:
Unrestricted funds – these are general funds and are those funds that may be spent at the discretion of the Trustees to enhance the services across the UHB
Restricted funds – these can only be spent in accordance with the restrictions imposed when the funds were donated, granted or raised by the Charity.
Endowment funds – where capital funds are made available to our Charity and the Trustees are legally required to invest or retain them. Where a permanent endowment exists, Trustees have no automatic power to spend the capital. If the fund is an expendable endowment, Trustees have the power to convert capital to income.
Health Charity Annual Report 2023-2024
The day to day administration of funds is undertaken by:
Charitable Fund Department, Cardiff and Vale University Health Board 2nd Floor, Woodland House, Cardiff, CF14 4HH
Investment Risk Management
The Investment Management Company screen the investments prior to purchase for compliance with the ethical policy. In addition existing holdings are screened on a regular basis to ensure continued compliance. If the fund were to purchase a position in a holding which did not comply and was identified as part of the post purchase process, the investment would be subsequently sold.
The portfolio does not have investments in companies whose principal manufacturing activities are tobacco, alcohol, armaments and pornography / adult entertainment related. This includes common investment funds (and similar products) that incorporate these in their portfolio.
Reserves Policy
The strategy of the Corporate Trustee is to apply charitable funds within a reasonable time of receipt, ideally within one to two years, unless there are specific requirements attached to income. Historically, the level of expenditure has been generally approximated to the level of income, with greater than required reserves held to manage any fluctuations.
The current reserves policy states that the Charity should hold the following reserves:
-
A separate fixed asset investment reserve, based on 10% of the value fixed asset investments (circa £550,000)
-
A minimum of £500,000 to ensure that there is sufficient funds for on-going commitments
From a process point of view there is no individual fund that holds all the reserves, however the current level of reserves is considered more than adequate for current needs. Going forward the Charity will review the reserves policy to reflect any changes to the Charity’s financial position.
Investment Contract Risk
Cardiff and Vale Health Charity’s Investment Managers are Rathbone Investment Management, which commenced on the 1st June 2021 for a period of three years with an option to extend for a further two years.
The Charity seeks to maximise the total return on funds while adopting a conservative policy on risk and flexible structure in respect of Asset Class Distribution. The portfolio is structured to enable a range of investments in order to yield a competitive rate of return. The investment director has delegated authority to purchase and sell investments as market opportunities arise. The Investment Managers formally attend and report to the Charitable Funds Committee twice a year.
Health Charity Annual Report 2023-2024
Financial Control Risk
A financial control procedure, expenditure guideline, governance framework and strategy have been developed to ensure that there are sufficient management controls in place to:
-
Ensure that spending is in accordance with objects and priorities agreed by the Charitable Funds Committee
-
Ensure the criteria for spending charitable monies are fully met
-
Ensure that accounting records are maintained
-
Ensure devolved decision making is within specific parameters.
Internal Audit also undertakes annual reviews to evaluate the adequacy of procedures and controls, to ensure compliance and to provide reasonable assurance over:
-
Achievement of management objectives for the systems
-
Economic and efficient use of resources
-
Compliance with policies and procedures
-
Safeguarding of assets
The Internal Audit reports are presented to both the Charitable Funds Committee and the Health Board’s Audit and Assurance Committee, and this is a key measure in mitigating control risk.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
1. Accounting policies
a) Basis of Preparation
The financial statements have been prepared under the historic cost convention, with the exception of tangible fixed assets and investments which have been included at a valuation.
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. In future years, the key risks to the Charity are a fall in income from donations or a fall in investment income but the Trustees have arrangements in place to mitigate those risks (see the Investment Risk Management and Reserves Policy sections of the annual report for more information).
The Charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS
b) 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.
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) and those where there is no discretion to expend the capital (permanent endowment).
Those funds which are neither endowment nor restricted income fund, 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.
Health Charity Annual Report 2023-2024
c) Incoming resources
All incoming resources are 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 exits 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.
d) Income resources from legacies
Legacies are accounted for as incoming resources 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 generation are met.
e) Income resources from endowment funds
The incoming resources received from the invested endowment fund are wholly restricted.
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.
Health Charity Annual Report 2023-2024
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.
g) 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 are apportioned on an average fund balance basis.
h) 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 costs of generating funds represent fundraising costs together with investment management fees. Fundraising costs include expenses for fundraising activities and a fee paid to a related party, the Health Board, under a fundraising agreement. The fee is used to pay the salaries and overhead costs of the Health Board’s fundraising office.
i) 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 8.
j) Debtors
Debtors are amounts owed to the charity. They are measured on the basis of their recoverable amount.
Health Charity Annual Report 2023-2024
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 90 day notice interest bearing savings accounts.
l) 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 longterm creditors.
m) 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 bid price at the year end and opening bid value (or purchase date if later).
n) Fixed Assets
Investments are stated at market value at balance sheet date. The Statement of Financial Activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year. Tangible fixed assets are valued as follows:
-
i) The land and buildings in respect of Rookwood Hospital was revalued as at 1st April 2022, and the revaluation reflected the restriction to hospital use only. Where appropriate between valuations an appropriate index, supplied from the Welsh Government, is applied to revalue the asset.
-
ii) Assets in the course of construction are valued at current cost. iii) Capitalisation threshold is £5,000
-
iv) Movements in revaluation are recorded in the revaluation reserve on the balance sheet
-
v) The charity has a policy to donate purchased assets to the Cardiff and Vale Health Board
Professional valuations are carried out by the District Valuer Service every five years, which (as the commercial arm of the Valuation Office Agency) is part of HMRC. The valuations are carried out in accordance with Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) Appraisal and Valuation Manual insofar as these terms are consistent with the agreed requirements of the Welsh Government and HM Treasury. The basis of the Valuer’s valuation, is Existing Use Value (EUV), and it is on this basis that Rookwood has been valued. Movements in revaluations are recognised in the Revaluation Reserve.
Health Charity Annual Report 2023-2024
Depreciation
-
i) Depreciation is charged on each main class of tangible asset as follows: land and assets in the course of construction are not depreciated. Buildings, installations and fittings are depreciated on their revalued amount over the assessed remaining life of the asset as advised by the professional valuers;
-
ii) Impairments, where incurred in the year, are separately identified in note 13 and charged to the funds of the charity where caused by price fluctuations and to the Statement of Financial Activities for the year when the impairment was recognised.
-
iii) The useful economic life of Charity buildings has been determined on an asset-by-asset basis by the District Valuer. These lives are reviewed by the Charity on an annual basis to ascertain their appropriateness and are reviewed every five years by the District Valuer.
Donated Assets are capitalised at their valuation on full replacement cost basis on receipt and are revalued and depreciated as described above.
2. Prior Year Restatement
To correctly state the reclassification of the Charity’s Grant income within the Statement of Financial Activities and Note 4 as at 31st March 2023, the following disclosures have been restated. Donation and Legacies were reduced by £0.871m to £0.828m and a new line created to disclose Grant Income 0.871m.
Note 14 Fixed Asset Investments
The opening market value has been restated to reflect the SORP requirement, to record the investment valuation at bid price. The adjustment was (£0.003m) and is reflected within note 14.
3. Related party transactions
Cardiff and Vale University Local Health Board is the Corporate Trustee of the Charity. During the year, other than noted below, there are no other material related party transactions involving the Corporate Trustee, board members or senior key management staff.
Board Members (and other senior staff) take decisions both on Charity and Exchequer matters but endeavour to keep the interests of each discrete and do not benefit personally from such decisions. Declarations of personal interest have been made and are available to be inspected by the public.
The Local Health Board has close links with Cardiff University which includes the sharing of staff as well as sharing accommodation on the University Hospital of Wales site.

The loss on revaluation relates to the unrealised gain, however the overall gain £246,000 (2022-23 £0.325m loss) as shown in the Statement of Financial Activities is calculated by also adjusting for realised loss of £0.018m. (2022-23 £127,000).
As of 31st March 2024, the investment with the largest percentage weighting (11.12%) in the portfolio is the Treasury 7/8% Green Gilt, maturing on 31st July 2033, with a total value of £643,941
The opening market value have been restated to reflect the bid price valuation as required by the SORP.
The Charity's investments are handled by investment advisors appointed by the Charity using the appropriate Health Board purchasing contract process. The Charity operates an investment policy that provides for a high degree of diversification of holdings within investment asset classes. A large proprtion of investments are made with companies listed on a UK stock exchange or incorporated in the UK. The majority of expenditure is financed from donations and legacies and there are no borrowings, therefore the Charity is not exposed to significant liquidity risk. The Investment Management Company attends the Charitable Funds Committee twice a year to discuss all aspects of investment performance and the factors influencing the performance. The asset class allocation is an intergral part of the discussion as this is intrinsically linked to minimising risk within the portfolio.

19. Role of Volunteers
Cardiff & Vale Health Charity continue to be extremely grateful to all the volunteers who support fundraising with so much energy, passion and skill. The Charity could not achieve all their objectives without the on-going commitment of the volunteers to make such a difference to patients, their families and colleagues.
The Charity has begun working more closely with the Health Board volunteers to develop and support more specific Charity Champion roles, including supporting our runners at organised events and supervising the charity collection tins. 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.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEE RESPONSIBILITIES IN RESPECT OF THE ACCOUNTS
-
i) Depreciation is charged on each main class of tangible asset as follows: land and assets in the course of construction are not depreciated. Buildings, installations and fittings are depreciated on their revalued amount over the assessed remaining life of the asset as advised by the professional valuers;
-
ii) Impairments, where incurred in the year, are separately identified in note 13 and charged to the funds of the charity where caused by price fluctuations and to the Statement of Financial Activities for the year when the impairment was recognised.
-
iii) The useful economic life of Charity buildings has been determined on an asset-by-asset basis by the District Valuer. These lives are reviewed by the Charity on an annual basis to ascertain their appropriateness and are reviewed every five years by the District Valuer.
The trustee is required to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity’s financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing financial statements giving a true and fair view, the trustee should follow best practice and:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practices 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 and 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 responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for 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

Health Charity Annual Report 2023-2024
The independent auditor’s report of the Auditor General for Wales to the trustee of Cardiff and Vale University Local Health Board Charity
Opinion on financial statements
I have audited the financial statements of Cardiff and Vale University Local Health Board Charity for the year ended 31 March 2024 under the Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and related notes, including the material 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 2024 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.
My staff and I are 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.
Health Charity Annual Report 2023-2024
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:
-
I have not received all the information and explanations I require for my audit;
-
sufficient accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for my audit have not been received from branches not visited by my team;
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the trustee’s report.
Responsibilities of the trustee for the financial statements
As explained more fully in the statement of trustee’s responsibilities set out on page 45-46 the trustee is responsible for:
-
maintaining sufficient accounting records;
-
the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view;
-
internal controls as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements to be 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 the trustees anticipate that the services provided by the charity will not continue to be provided in the future.
Health Charity Annual Report 2023-2024
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.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. I design procedures in line with my responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud.
My procedures included the following:
-
Enquiring of management, the Cardiff and Vale University Local Health Board Charity’s Head of Internal Audit and those charged with governance, including obtaining and reviewing supporting documentation relating to Cardiff and Vale 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 respect of posting of unusual journals.
-
Obtaining an understanding of Cardiff and Vale University Local Health Board Charity’s framework of authority as well as other legal and regulatory frameworks that the Cardiff and Vale 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 Cardiff and Vale University Local Health Board Charity.
-
Obtaining an understanding of related party relationships.
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, those charged with governance and legal advisors about actual and potential litigation and claims;
-
reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance and;
-
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.
Health Charity Annual Report 2023-2024
I also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all audit team members 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 Cardiff and Vale 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.
Other auditor’s responsibilities
I communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that I identify during my audit.
