'Outstanding', we aim lo work collaboratively with a wide range of partners and
stakeholders to deliver the highest quality services for local people who need end of life
caTe across West Essex and East Hertforéshire.
The later part of the year 2022123 saw a shift from Covid-19 focused operations in every
aspect of hospice operatsons. The earlier part of the year though was still marked by a
priority on infection control and to keep our particularly vulnerable patients (both in the
hospice and in the community). as V￿11 as our staff, volunteers and patient families safe
from infection.
During the year the Hospice delivered care for 1,536 palienlg11,551 in 211221, many of
whom received support from different services across the clinical direclorale. However,
the hospice has support8d many more people across the West Essex and East
Hertfordshire area wlh a rang8 of communily-based services such as bereavement
support, education and leaching and dementia support, for example.
Tha overall incom8 generallon performance durirvJ 2022123 have been strong against a
backdrop of slgniflcant financial and economlc uncertainly for all. This is lestsment lo
our It)cal communStles and supporters, but also lo our very dedicated staff and volunteer8
who have workeil so hard. As a result our financial reserves are such that we can
continue delivering the care and supp(Kt services in the coming year and invest in our
new ambitious hospice strategy. With careful monilorlng and slewardshlp of our
resource6, we beliov8 St Clare Hospice wlll be able to withstand the uncertain 8conomic

clearly stales our goals., lo improve access to end of lrfe care, drive for quality and ensure
the sustalnabilily of the hospice and Ils seNices for the long term future. We have also

Public Benefit
In reviewing the objedives and the activltles for the year. the Trustees have satisfied
themselves that both the objectives of the Charity and those activities undertaken
continue to reflect the aims of the Charity. In carying out their review the Trustees have
considered the Charity Commission's gen8ral guidance on public benefit and its
supplementary guidance on the advanc8menl of health, especially as it relates lo the
relief of sickness. human sufferlng and palliative care.
The Trustees conflmi that they comply with Ihelr duty under section 17 of the Charities
Act 2011, to have due regard lo the guldance on public benefit published by the Charity
Commission. It is intended that the Charity should maximise the benefit that il provides
lo the local community given the constraints of size and funds.

famllles, community members and the wider community. Our volunteers offer an extra
layer of support lo make the journey with St Clare Hospic8 a poslllve expenence.
A number of volunteer roles have been ￿freshed or changed over the past couple ol
years. The Volunteer Development Team are ensuring a refreshed focus on the talents.
skills, interests and availability of volunteers to ensure people's skills and expertise are
brought to the hosplc8, and in the last year have developed a range of long seNce award
events to thank and celebrate the dedicated service of the volunteer workforce al the
hospice. Thase have been wamily recelved by many volunteers who have valued beSng
able to come tojether again in person over food with a certSficat8 and badgé as a small

A clear volunteerlng plan has been created lo underpin Ihe exciting Hospice Strategy
2022+. A number of principles have been devgloped as areas to focus on..
Improve communication with our volunteers,

improvement in the overall contribution from the fundraising team as tsrg8t8d
Investments and developmenl of team members has paid off. The team overall is
enthusiastic, mollvated and skilled, focusing on the needs of our sUPPOrt8rs which is
paying off in the results. The retail perform8nce has had 80m8 challenges durlng the
year, but we s88 this easlng In the coming year wlth a focus on Strengthenlng and
supportlng the shop management team. The St Clare Hospice Lottery has had 8 mlxed
year, by regaining10gt ground with attritlon rates seen durfng the pandemic, and overall
a good financl81 conlrfbution to the hospice. However, we belleve the lottery can achieve
much more in the year to come.
It has been fantastic to see the progress of St Clare Hospice over the past 12 rnonth5,
with new challenges and opwtunilies for development being considered all the Ilme.
Clinical and non4linic81 teams have Ti58n lo the many challenges they have mel along
the way in a rapidly changing world. The hard wcfk of every member of staff, with support
from dedicated volunteers and our local ccthmunilies enables the Hospice lo continue to
deliver high quality palienl care, véhich is al the heart of 811 that st Clare Hospice does.

Flnanclal Review
The outcome for the year was a surplus of £8k, ￿lch 15 down ag8lnst the prior year
Surplus of £1.1m. The result in the prlor year was achieved mainly due lo one-off
Govemment fundlng related to Covid-19.
There was increase in total expenditure which was mainly due lo higher patient care
expenditure where seNice5 continued lo be developed and expanded, in part from
designated funds. The exceptionally high level of inflation and high energy costs h8ve
also resulted in increase in the b86eline expenditure.
NHS income w8s slightly hlgher than the previous year, however 8133°A of the Charity's
expenditure. it is lower than the 39% ￿te1Ved in the prior year. The forecast future
shortfalls in income compared with expenditure would reduce the level of reserves.
St Clare held net assets of£11.13m at31 March 2023. Oflhis amount, £2.27m had been
invested in land. buildings and equipment. leaving net current assets of £8.86m. The
Trustees have remewed financi81 forecasts and have agreed lo continue to use reserves
to develop services identified in the Sl Clare Hospice Strategy 2022+ to reach more
people affected by life-limiling illness, dealh, dying and loss. Since this may reduce
reseNes below the target level, the planned capital development project, for thich funds
have been designated, may ultimately b8 funded from a specific appeal to generate th8
requir8d funds.
A goino concern assessment has been undertaken in accordance wrlh the CharltSes
SORP {FR1021. Following the assessment, the Trustees have conduded that at the lime
of 8pproving the financial statements, the Charity has adequate resources to contlnue lo
adopt the going concem basis of accounting in preparing the financlal slalements.
Fundralslng Approach and Perfomian¢e
Sl Clare Hospice is committed to maintaining high standard of fundraising, retail and
btlery aclfvity. We are registered wlh the Fundraising Regulator and licensed by the
Gambling Commission. We are committed lo fundraising by the st8niJards set out in the
Fundraising Code of Practice, and our Gonlracled professional rAnv8ssing agencies for
new lottery players are also required lo maintain Ihe Codes of Practice. We are members
of the Charity Retail Association, Hospic8 UK, and the Inslilule of Fundraising.
A range of public faclng fundraising activities are undertaken induding events, direct
mailings. corporate fundraising and telephone appeal8. Fundraising activities are
reported to the Income Generatlon Committee on a quarterly basis.
The Hospice commits to ils fundraising poliae5 and practice beirKJ legal, open and
honest. Staff training and robust procedures are in place to ensure that these standards
are mainlained, and that no-one who is potentially vulnerable is asked to ¢ommsL to
giving.
From lime to time, the Hospice May work wth established and reputable service
providers which include mailing houses, event management cornpanies and fundraising
agencies. Monitoring of activities 15 done by investigating complaints. seeking supporter
feedback, mystery shopping and audits.
St Clare Hospice is GDPR compliant. and uses a number of methods lo ensure regular
review and accurate record keeping. In addition, the Hospice ha5 signed up to receiving
marketing suppressions under the Fundraising Preference Service, and also wll not
make fundraising calls lo telephone numbers registered with the Telephone Preference
14

Service. Detailed supporter contact preferences and giving history are recorded on the
fundraising database which is managed wlhin the fundraising team.
Supporter experlence Is a priorlty for all teams wlhin the Income Generation directorat8
and as such any rA)mplainls are investigated and dealt with in Ilne the Hospice
complaints policy. It is pleasing to report, that durlng the year, there were no complaints
received about fundraising activities.
Fundraising incom8 generated in 2022123 was £1.783k compared lo a prior year figure
of £1,565k. The Fundraising Income figure is made up of Donations and Grfts.
Fundraising Events and St Clare Friends Groups, less any income related to the Retail
Grft Aid Scheme vthlch Is Included wrthln the Relall Conlrlbullon flgure,
Tha hospice benefrtt8d from generous support from our community once agaln In
2022123. Our focus in fijndraising Is a￿ayS lo connect supporters with the impact of
the work we do, and show how their donations are making a difference lo local people.
We saw hlgh levels of activity In all areas of fundraising, wSth partlcular success in areas
where we had updated and improv8d our offerlng lo the public, such as in our programme
of events.
The focus for 2023124 is on increasing our Capacity and efficiency lo be able to 3eNe Ihe
community who are wishing lo support us, and raise the increasing funds needs lo run
the Hosplce. As the cost of livlng continues to rise, we know that our supporters are
feeling the effects just as much as the hosplce Is. It Is vlt81 that we make sure that those
that are able and ￿sh lo donate lo the hosplce can do so easlly. and that they conlSnue
to be aware of the incredible difference this makes lo local people receiving our services.
Ratall and Lottery Performance
St Clare Hospice retail continued to see fantastic support from the public through
high levels of donated goods and good footfall. Nevertheless, the net contribution
of all retail aclivity {including e-commerce) for 2022123 was £277k comparted lo
£449k In 2021122. This decrease in income was the effect of a challenglng year
of recruitment leaving us under-resourced across the chain for a significant period
of tim8. We also invested In a new store in Bishop's Stortford South Street. This
store is our largesl high street store, and after refurbishment has become one of
our highest performing stor8s.
It is our ambition to continue to grow our portfolio of stores across the region that
we serve as a hospice.
The St Clare weekly lottery is a key income stream for the hospice, with excellent
player numbers across our region. Face to fa￿ player recruitment continued
Successfully, leading to growih in our player numbers and lottery contribution to
Ihe charity was £439k in 2022123 vs £512k in the previous financial year.
Player recruitment will be our main focus for the 2022123, and so we exped to See higher
player numbers but, in the short term, reduced conlribub'on as a resuS1.

Investment
Th8 Trustees. inveslment policy is governed by the Company's Memorandum of
Assoclatlon, which allows the Trustee5 to invest ils funds in such stocks, funds, shares,
securities or other investments of whatever nature they think fil, subject to any conditions
imposed by law. The Trustees are currently exploring the option lo invest monies after
allowing for cash required to meet planned level of expenditure in the medium term
consistent with Sl Clare's Reserves Policy.
During the year, beyond a small worklng balance all cash was held in interest bearfng
accounls. Thal cash which is not required in Ihe Short term Is Invested in immediate,
notice or fixed temi depos115 to secure the highest rate of interest avallable, which is
consistent wth the security.
The current policy set by the Trustees for inv8slmenl of cash, limits the amount that Can
be invested with a single financial institution and also prohibits investment in any financial
product except term deposits in pounds steding,
Rasorves Pollcy and Objoctivos
The Trustees re￿eWed and approved the Reserves Pollcy In September 2022 in line
with r8commendations from th8 Charity Commission. It is Ihe wew of the Board of
Trustees that Sl Clare HospSce should provide reliable and consistent seNces to Ils
beneflciaries beyond the immediate future. Th8 Hospice needs to be able to meet
unexpecled expenses, absorb setbacks and take advantage of change and
opportunilies for development when they arSse.
Th18 review has also taken Into account the proposed development of serylees
provlded by St Clare Hospice, a8 contemplated In the Hosplce's Strategy 2022+.
The Truslees agreed on 8 tsrget level of re8erv85 informed by the nature of the
financial position of St Clare Hospice and the risks facing it. Factors taken into account
by the Trustees include the categories of inc(￿e received by th8 Hosplce and Ihe risk
factors applicable lo these categories.
For example:
The absence of a long-term funding commitment for those service5 provid8d by
the Hospice for thich income is recgived from the NHS or other government
agencies.
The volatilily of fundraislng Income, as demonstrated durSng and foll0v￿ng the
Covid pandemic.
The uncertainties of legacy income, bolh as regards amounts and timing.
The uncertainty of the amount of income which may be forthcoming from
trading aGlivity in the Hospice's subsidiary, including the uncertainly of trading
income in the retail and lottery markets and the risks of undertaking that trading.
The inherent risks of providing medirAI and clinical services.
The external economic environment, and the impact of exceptionally trigh level
of inflation feeding through lo year on year baseline costs.
16

In addition, it is planned that the Hospice wll have an annual deficit for the next few
years in order lo balance the two priorities of investing in services and increasing
overall income lo sustain this investment long lemi. This investment is a key part of the
2022+ strategy, and has also been enabled by surplus in prior years. This approach is
an aCknO￿edgeMent by the trustees of the ne8d to avoid excessive reserves and to
utllise funds as qulckly as possible lo support our charilablo oblectiV85.
The target level of reserves agreed by the Trustees is slx months of forec8sI
expenditure for the Hospice and its trading subsidiary. Thus in each financial year the
Hospice will aim to have reserves equal lo haw the budgeted expenditure for that
financial year.
Further amounts may be designated for specific projects, inilialives or liabilities. These
designated funés, rf designated, wll be for areas of work that directly lurther the
Hospice's strategic objectives as recommended by the relevant Committee. The
approach to designation wlll be recommended by the Flnance and Rlsk Committee.
These designated funds will not be taken into account in comparing the amount of
reseNes with the target level.
The reserves policy target will be calculated on an annual basis. and agreed by the
Board prior to approving the Annual Report and Accounts.
Design8t8d fvnds
At their meeting in September, 2022 the Trustees deslgnated certain arn￿nts for
anticlpaled future expenditure aTlSing from St Clare's Strategy 2022+ and are diwded
into strategic areas we conslder a wiority. It is anticipated that this expenditure wll be
across the coming five years after plans are further developed and projects idenlrfied in
detail. The designated funds (and amounts utilised during the yearl are the foll¢Jwng.'
Improwng Access.. Clinical services and digital £1m1£123k utilised)
Improwng Access.. Capital Development £3rn
Quality.. Impact development £1 Ook
Suslainabilily.. Income generation £500k {£42k utilisedl
Suslainabllily: People development £400k (£64k ulilisedl
Level of reseNes
As at 31 March, 2023 St Clare Hospice held net assets of£11.1m, ofwhich £2.3m is
represented by laroible fixed assels, leaving £8.8m. After deducting restricted lunds of
£0.2m and unulilised designated funds (see above) of £4.8m, £3.8m is available as
undesignated general ieserves.
The reserves policy target for 2023-24 is £3.7m, and it would be the expectation of the
Trustees that the level of reserves will broadly align with the target over the next few
year5 as St Clare's Strategy 2022+ 1$ implemented. To the extent that reselves might
olherw5e fall beneath the target, it is anticipated that the funds designated for capi181
development will be reduced and replaced by incC￿e from fundraising for capital
development.

Risk Managemenl
The Senior Leadership Team, which meets weekly chaired by the Chlef Executive
Officer, monitors, records, and manages risk on an operational and strategic basis. The
organisational nsks are identified and rneasures pul in place by SLT, and reviewed by
the Finance and Risk Committee before they are reported to the Board. All areas of risk
are monitored by the relevant Director and ultimately the Chief Executive Officer. and a
Summary of the main risks are reported on a quarterly basis to the Board of Trustees.
Insurance Gover for insurable risks is co-ordin8ted by the Director of Finance and
Resources. and reported lo the 8oard of Trustees. In short risks are identified Ihrough
the management Structures and mitigated. managed and l or insured as appropnale.
The following general prlnciples are applied in addressing possible exp05UTe to any
identified risks..
All professional and other Codes of Practice applying to Hospice activities must
be observed al all times.
All statutory requirem8nts must b8 complied with at all time6.
All manufaclur8rs' operatlonal advice, inslructlons and servicing requlremenls
musl be assiduously observe(l.
Appropriate records of compliance wlth the above requirernonts must ba
maintained.
Insurance cover is taken out where appropriate.
Suitsble revlew procedures Including records of Incldents land Ibeir Subsequent
resolulionl musl be in place to ensure that risks are, gnd continue to be. properfy
identified and managed.
Implementation and compliance with a full range of inlemal polides and
procedures.
The SLT has responsibility for the ongoing idenlificalion, monitoring and management of
risk within their respective spheres of interest. Where risks are so remole that it IS
impracticable. uneconomic or impossible to eliminate or avoid them {e.g. acts of war,
force majeure. 'plane crash etc.) Ihey are accepted.
Sl Clare Hospice believes that 8 high quality service is one that should have minimal
risks to the organisation, patients and staff. Where operolional risk5 are idenlified Ihrough
complaints, incidents or risk as5e5sments and reviews, they are added to the risk register
and actions are agreed lo ensure that the risk is either removed or reduced lo as low a
level as reasonably possible.
The highest organisalional risk for the Hosplce is Its financlal dependen￿ on voluntary
income. thich can be affected by significant issues such as a gbbal pandemic. bul also
the impact of the changes in commissioning and contracting from the NHS in the future
as the NHS syslern adapts lo the reorganisation from Clinical Commissioning Groups to
larger Integrated Care Systems. Without sufficient funds, It would not be possible lo run
the extent of hospice services that are currently provided. Although we have taken a
nurnber of mitigating actions lo secure our Income Generating capability the inuease in
baseline expenditure continues to place rellance on sustained growth in voluntary and
Iradlng incorne.
Dedicated teams of fundraising, lottery and retail slaff, who are supported by volunteers
and the wider base of H05pice staff, work tirelessly to ensure that the Hospice continues
to receive donations and support from its local community and maintain a good
18

reputation locally. The SLT and the Income Generation Committee closely monitor
income and expenditure. Robust and detailed plans are created for the fundraising,
lotlery and retail functions on an annual basis. Aclivily against these plans is regularly
monitored through line management processes in place.
The move from the Clinical Commissioning Groups to the Integrated Care Systems in
the NHS has been a significant change nationally and locally., keeping abreast of the
changes in structures and personnel is always more complex for organisalions like
hospices who are independent of the NHS. However, it has been made somewhat easier
by the Improved enthusiasm of NHS colleagues in the ICS to communicate and work
with the hospice. The risk for the hospice is that Mth the changes in commissioning
structures, the emphasis on end of Ilfe and palllative care might gel lost or diluted which
wlll have an impact on the delivery of patient care; and that there may be a risk to the
value of the NHS contract which presents the Hospice with a sllghtly elevated risk of not
being able to survive financially if the contract was not to be renewed or cul for any
reason. Howev8r, the Hospice has been worklrKJ hard al buikling good relationships with
NHS partners during the year, and believes the Hospice's positive allilude and
willingness to support the wider system durlng the past few years has helped support
higher profile and Improved reputation.
The abilily lo recruit Into ¢linical roles, partlculady Reglslered Nurses. conllnues to be a
high risk area for the Hospice. With a nationwde shortage of nurses, and a stretched
NHS that is still recovering from a global pandemic, recruitment is a struggle and may
lrnpacl upon the plan5 to expand and develop seNces.
Commentary on Last Year's Plans for 2022123
The hosplce has Ihe ambition of a 'One Hospice. approach by taking advantage
of technologies and digital approaches. We want lo widen access to Services,
ernployment and volunteering opportunities, and support all hospice funclions
{including income generation). During 2022123 we were able to begin 8 review
of all of our aclivilies, functions and services to scope Ihe resources and
opportunities we have for digi181 development. We developed 8 Digital Strategy
and we are now implemenling il where resources and capacily allows.
We ar8 also looking lo ensure our hospice is fil for the future and that our
hospice sile is future-proofed, so that it is suslalnable and sultable for the next
15 to 25 years. During the year we started working with our key slakehokjer
groups such as the hospice workforce, commlssioners, and local community lo
establish the health and hospice accommodation requirements in the future wth
a vlew to scoping a proposed capltal prolect that improves the hospice sile and
maximises the use of hosplce resources. This is an ongoing long-temi project
and will take some tlme lo deliver.
19

We planned to further develop the Wellbeing Hub programme of clinics and
programmes that meet the need5 of our patient cohort and reach more people
both at the Hastingwood 51te and in venues around West E55ex. During the
year we launched a range of hospice services and clinics in Saffron Walden at
the northem edge of our catchment area to beller serve our Ultlesford
population. The Saffron Walden community hub has enabled us to work
collaboratively wlh a number of voluntary sector and NHS partner5 to jointly
deliver a programme of bereavement cafés, drop in sessions. clinics and
groups, bringing our hospice services to the local population.
We planned to implement a full Equallly, Diverslty and Incluslon programme
Ih81 Sdenttfles how the hosplce will address inequalilies In our organisatSon so
thal everyone has fair access to hospice gervices, as well as employment and
volunteering opportunities. Durlng the year we had a number of false starts
with the programme, bul have finally landed a partnership with an external
consultant who really understand5 the quirks of hospices. The ¢onsullanl has
offered staff a number of I￿uS groups based on protected characte￿511C5 8nd
conversallons lthlh Individuals wllh a view to developing a report with an actlon
plan 8nd recommendations for the hospice, and who will develop a be¥poke
Unconscious Bias training programme.
We planned to develop our b8r8av8m8nt support programme including
elements such as extending GriefLine and the bereavement café model.
Although we have not made significant changes to extend Griefline {as so far,
the data we've collected shows demand h8s not warranted it), we contsnued lo
develop a number of bereavement cafés across the catchment area.
We sald we would conduct a full hosplc8 governance rewew to ensure effecuve
and safe declslon making. Thls has been completed durlng the year, and
overall the extemal report was very poslllve about our govemance structures
and approach. However, work will now conllnue on updating our Memorandum
and Articles thich have not been updated or reviewed since 2011.
We planned to develop 8 number of new business models and plans to develop
a slep change in hospice income for fulure suslainabilily. This is well underway
and we are pleased with progress, with a number of exciting business plans in
the pipeline which will begin in 2023.
Future Plans 2023124
The Hospice plans for the comlng fSnanclal yèar of 2023124 are as follows:
We will conllnue to work wlth our NHS colleagues and partners In supporting the
integrated care system and worklng to improve end of Ilfe care delivery across
our area,
We wll deliver 8 number of Smprovements to the Haslingwood site that ￿11
improve the environment for p8ts.enls and famllles.
We will launch one or two new commercial v8ntures as new income streams, as
well as expand our charity retail portfolio.
We will develop a community engagement strategy that builds on OUT volunteer
and community-led social support models.
We will devebp an impact measurement prograrnrne to demonstrate our value
to the wder healthcare economy and the difference we make to the local
community.

being satisfied thal they give a true and fair view, and for such internal conlrol as the
Trustees determine is necessary lo enable the preparation of financial stalernents that
are Ir88 from material mis5tglement, wheth8r due to fraud or error.
In preparing the flnancial slatemenls. the Trustees are ￿SponSibl8 for assessing the
group's and the parent charitable company's ability lo continue as a going concern,
24

disclosing, as applicable. matters related lo going concern and using the going concern
basis of accounting unless the Tnjstees either intend to liquidate the group or the parent
charitable company or to cease operations, ￿ have no realistic altemative but to do so.
Audltorfs rnsponslbllltles for the audlt of thè flnan¢lal statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance aboul ￿ether Ihe financial
slalemenls as a whol8 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 on audit conducted In accordance
with ISAS IUKI will always detect a material misslatemenl when it exists. Misslalements
can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the
agg￿gate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic d8C1s￿nS of
users taken on th8 basis of these financial statements.
Irregularitles, Induding fraud, are Instances of non-compliance wbth laws and regulatlons.
We deslgn procedures Sn line with our responsibilities, outlined abov8, to del8Ct material
misstatements In respect of irregularities. including fraud. The extent to which our
proc8dur8s are capabl8 of detecling irregularilles, including fraud Is delallod below..
Based on our understanding of the group and the environment in which 51 operates, we
Id8nlilled that the principal risks ol non<ompliance with laws and regulallons related to
compllance wlh regulatory requlrements of the Car8 Quality Commission, Charlty
Commisslon, employment law and health and safety regulation8, and we considered the
extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial ststements.
We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the
preparation of the linancial 8tat8m&nts 8uch the Companies Acl 2006, the Charltle5 Act
2011, payroll taxes and VAT.
We evaluated m8n8gernent's Incenllves and opportunilie5 lor fraudvleDI manipulation ol
the financial slalement9 (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that
the principal risks were rela18d to recognition of income and m8nagemenl bias in cert8in
accounting eslimates. Audit procedures perfomied by the engagement team included..
Inspecting Trustees, meetlng mlnutes
Inspecting correspondence with regulators and tax authorities.,
Dlscussions wlh management includlng consideration of knovm or suspected
instances of non-compliance wth laws and regulation and fraud.,
Evaluating management's controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities,.
Identifying and lesling joumals,. and
Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their critical
accounting eslimales.
Because of the Inhe￿nI limitations of an audSt, there Is a dsk that we wll not detect all
irregularities, including those 18ading to a material mlsstatemenl in the financial
Statements or non-compliance with regulation, This risk increases the rnore that
complianca with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions
reflected in the financial slalemenls, as we wlll be less likely to b8come aware of
instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring
due lo fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment. forgery,
collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
