Activities for Achieving Objectives The charty is funded by donations andlor legacies received from patients, their relatives, the general public and other external organisations. The overall strategy of the Charlty is to provide support to the above Trusts by the following means:_ Patients ExpendÈture - purchase small equipment, provision of services and the provision of facilities not normally provided by or in addition to the normal NHS provision. a) motivation of staff, by improving staff facilities and by providing services that improves staff wellbeing.

Achlevements and Performance of the Charitable Funds During the year, the designated funds continued to support a wide range of charitable and heatth related activities benefiting both patients and staff. To fulfil thè charitable aims and objectives, the strategy of the South Staffordshire Communily and Mental Health CharÉtable Fund is to support it5 related constituent bodies by providing funds to benefrt patients by purchasing supplementary and complimentary equipment or services for which the related NHS organisation are unable to provide funding through exchequer sources. For example, charitable funds were used to purchase equipment to complement what had already been provided for at various hospital sites. The charity does not actively fundraise and relies upon the generosity of the patients and their relatives and other donors who are familiar with or have experienced the care of the participating NHS Trusts or who are sympathetic and generous in their support to their local NHS service.

Irregularities, including fraud. are instances of non-complian with laws and regulations. W6 design proGedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material rnisstalements in resp6ct of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our prOdUreS are capabl8 of detecting irregularities, inGluding fraud is detailed below". Our approach to id8ntifying and assessing the risks of matsrial misstaternenl in respect of irregularttles. including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, wa5 as follows. the senior statutory audilor ensured that the engagement tsam colleclively had the appropriate competence. capabilities and skills to identify or wogntse non-compliance wrth applicable laws and regulations. we idèntified the laws and regulations applicable to th& charity Ihrough discussions with directors and othèr management. and from our commercial knowledge and èxperien of th8 Charity sector. we focused on specnlc laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effert on tho financial Statements or the op8rations of the charity, including the financial reporting legislation, Charities Act 2011, taxation legislation, anti-bribery, employment. and environmental and health and safety legislation.. we assessed the extent of compliance with Ihe18ws and reyulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal corresponden¢e' and identified laws and regulations We communicated within the audlt team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliancè throughout the audit. assessed the sus¢eplibility of the charty'5 financial stalem8nts lo material misslalement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by.. making enquiries of managem6nt as to where they considered there was susceplibility lo fraud, their knowledge of actual, susperted and alleged fraud.. and ¢onsidering the intemal controls in place lo mitigats risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations. To address the risk of fraud through management bias and overridè of Controls, we.. perfomed analytscal procedures to identify 8ny unusu81 or unexpected relationships., lesled joumal entries to identify unusual transactions.. assessed whetherjudgements and a55umptions made in éeteTmining the accounting estimates set out in nota 1 wer8 indicative of potential bias- and invèsligatsd the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions. In response to the risk of irregularÉties and non<ompliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included. bLrt wer8 not limtted to: agreeing financi81 staternent disclosuras to underlying supporting documentation., reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with govemance., enquiring of management as lo actual and potential litigation and claim5,' and rèviewing correspondence with HMRC, relevant regulators and the charity's legal advisors. 10
SOUTH sfAFFORDSHIRE COMMUNITY & MENTAL HEALTH CHARITABLE FUND AND OTHER RELATED CHARITIES REGISTRATION NO. 1061006 BerALt5e of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is 8 risk that we will not delect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statemenls or non-compliance wfrth regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transacttons reflected in the financial statements, as we will bè less likely to become aware of instanS of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error. as fraud involves intentional concèalment forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from approving these financial statements. Tha budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of rèserves for the charity to be able to Gontinue as a going concem. Icl Fund Accounting Where there is a legal restrictton on the purpose lo which a fvnd may be put, the fund is olassified either as an endowment fund, where the donor has expressly provided that only thè income of the fund may be expended, or as a restiicled income fund where thè donor has provided for the donation to be spent in furtheranc8 of a spectfied oharitable purpose. Unrestricted income funds are sub analysed between designated fvnd5 where the trustees have set aside amounts to be used for specific purposes, often reflecting the non binding wishes of the donors, and unrestricted funds which are applicable for any purpose of the charity. The Trustees are responsible for administering the funds of six NHS bodies. To clarify Ihe reporting of th? funds the trustses have designated (earmarked) the funds for each of the six n8med charities withir) the group regislration. Idl In¢omlng Resources Income is recognised once Ihe charity has entidement to the income. It is probable that the inwme will be received and the amount of incom8 reIvable can be measured roliably. lel Incoming Resources from Logaclgs For legacies, entÉttement is the earlier of the charity being notified of an impending distribution or thè18gacy being received. At this point income is recognised. On occasion legacies will be notified to the charity however it is not possible to measure the amount expected to be distributed. On these occasions, the legacy is treafrd as a contingent asset and disdosed. 14

Grants are only made to related or Ihird party NHS bodies and non NHS bodies in furtherance of the charilable objedives of the funds. A liability for such grants is recoynised when approval has been given by the Trustees. Those NHS bodies which have nominaled representatives have full knowledge of the plans of the Truslees, therefore a grant approval is taken lo constitute a firm intention of payment which has been communicated lo the participaling NHS body. and so a liability is recognised.
