Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but Is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance wlth ISAS (UK) wlll always detect a material misstatement when It exlsts. Mlsstatements can arlse from fraud or error and are consldered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decislons of users taken on the basis of these flnanclal statements.

Because of the inherent Ilmltatlons of an audit, there Is a rlsk that we wlll not detett all irregularities, including those leadlng to a materlal mlsstatement In the financlal statements or non-compllance with regulatSon. This rlsk Increases the more that compllance wlth a law or regulatlon is removed from the events and transactions reflected In the financial statements, as we wlll be less Ilkely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The rlsk Is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud Involves intentional conceal ment, forgery, colluslon, omisslon or mlsrepresentation.

Investments in subsidlaries are measured at cost less impairment. Financjal Instruments The charlty only holds baslc financlal Instruments as defined in FRS 102. The financial asset5 and flnancial Ilabllltles of the charlty and their measu rement basls are as follow5.. Flna tLI a55ets trade debtor, accrued income and other debtors are baslc financial Instruments and are debt instruments measured at amortised cost as detailed in nDte 14. Prepayments are not financial instruments. Amounts from the charity s wholly owned subsldlary are held at face value less any impairment.

It is classified as a baslc financlal instrument and is measured at face value. a ncial liabilities trade creditors, accruals and other creditors are financial Instruments, and are measured at amortised cost as detailed In notes 15 and 16. Taxatlon and soclal security are not included in the flnanclal instruments disclosure definition. Deferred income Is not deemed to be a financlal Ilablllty, as the cash settlement has already taken place and there is an obligation to deliver servlces rather than cash or another financlal instrument. Loans and borrowings, are Inltially recognlsed at the transaction price includlng transactlon costs and subsequently, they are measured at amortised cost using the effettlve interest rate method, less impalrment. If an arrangetnent constitutes a finance transaction it Is measLFred at present value. Impairment Assets not measured at fair value are reviewed for any indicatlon that the asset may be impaired at each balance sheet date. If such Indlcation exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, or the asset's cash generating unit, is estimated and compared to the carrying amount. Where the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss 15 recognised in proflt or loss unless the asset Is carried at a revalued amount where the Impairment loss is a revaluation decrease.

PENSION COMMITMENTS Defined Beneflt Penslon Scheme YMCA Brunel Group participated in a contributory pension plan providing deflned benefits based on final penslonable pay for employees of YNCAS in England, Scotland and Wales. "rhe assets of the YMCA Penslon Plan are held separately from those of YMCA Brunel Group and at the year end these were invested In the Mercer Dynamic De-rlsklng Solution, 65Wo matching porffolio and 350/D in the growth portfolio and Schroder (property unlts only). The most rent completed three year valuatlon was as at l May 2023. The assumptions used which have the most significant effect on the results of the valuation are those relating to the assumed rates of return on assets of 4.56Q/o, the increase in penslons in payment of 3.18Wo (for FiPI capped at 5 % p,a.), and the average life expectancy from normal retlrement age (of 65) for a current male pensioner of 21.5 years, female 24.0 years, and 23.1 years for a male pensloner, female 25.7 years, retiring In 20 year5, tlme. The sUIt of the valuation showed that the actuarial value of the assets was £103.Im, which represented 92 % of the beneflts that had accrued to members. The Pension Plan was closed to new members and future service accrual with effect from 30 April 2007, With the removal of the salary linkage for benefits all employed deferred members became deferred members as from l May 2011. The valuation prepared as at l May 2023 showed that the YMCA Pension Plan had a deficit of £9.1 million. YMCA Brunel Group was advlsed that It will need to make monthly contributions of £30,800 from l May 2024. This amount is based on the current actuarial assumptlons (as outlined above) and may vary in the future as a result of actual performance of the Penslon Plan. Agreed future deficit cor)tributions have been discounted uslng a rate of 50/0 (2024., 50/0). The current recovery period is 3 years commenclng 1st May 2024. In addition, YMCA Brunel Gmup may have over tlme Ilabilities In the event of the non-payment by other partlclpatlng YMCAS of their share of the YMCA Pension Plan's deficlt. It is not posslble currently to quantlfy the potential amount that YMCA Brunel Group may be called upon to pay in the future.
