Our approach lo idenlfying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities. including fraud and non<ompliance wlh laws and regulations. was as follows.. the senior statutory audilor ensure(J that the engagement team eolleclively had the appropriate eompelence. capabilrties and skills to identify or regnISe non-compliance with applicable laws gnd regulats'ons", we idents'fied the laws and regulations applicable lo the chafrtable company through discussions with directors and other management. and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the charity sector.. we focused on specific laws and regulab.ons which we considered rnay have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operabons of the chantable company, including the financial reporting legislats'on, Companies Act 20L%. Charities Act 2011. tsxation legislat)n. anli-bribery, employment, and environmental and hearth and safety legislation.. we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identifi'ed above through making enquiries of management and insFecting legal correspondence.. and identified laws and regulations were communicated wthin the audit team wularly and the team remained alert to inslanees of non<ompliance throughout the audrt. We assessed the susceptibility of the charitable companl5 financial statement5 to material misslatemen( including obtsining an understanding of how fraud might cK¢ur, by". making enquiries of management as lo where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud," and considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations. To address the risk of fraud through management ly.as and ovefrNJe of controls. we". performed analyfral pr¢xedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships.. lesled journal entries lo identify unusual transactions.. assessed whether judgements and aSsuMpnS made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of polenty.al bias". and investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions. In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with. laws and regulations. we designed procedures which included. but were not limited to.. agreeing financial slatement disclosures to undertwng supporting documentation. reading the minutes of meetings of those chafged with govemance", enquiring of management as to actual and potential lits"galion and claims". and reviewing correspondence with HMRC, relevant regulators and the thanlable company's legal advisors.

Report to the Membets of Murray Hall Community Trtt Llmlted Icontlnued} Auditors. responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Icontinuedl Because of the inherent limitats.ons of an audit. there is a risk that we will not detect all Irregularities, including those leading to a material misslalement in the financial statements or non<ompliance with regulation. This risk increases the more Ihal compliance wth a law or regulakn.on is reffloved from the events and transactions reflected in the financial slatemenls. as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather.than error. as fraud involves intentional ncealment, forgery, collusion. omission or misrepresentation.

The nature of the charitys operations and principal activities are lo promote health and wellbeing and continue lo serve In the Black Country and Birmingham areas as well as in the wKJer Wesl Midlands region. Aceounting poli¢ie$ 2.1 Basis of preparation of financial ststements The financial statements have been prepared in accordance wrth the Charities SORP IFRS 1021 Aceounling and Report"tng by ChatIeS". Statement of Recommended Practioe applicable to charitie5 preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 102) leffecb.ve 1 January 20191, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 1021 and the Companies Act 2006. Murray Hall Communty Trust Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transactK)n value unless othemise stated in the relevant aOuntIng policy. 2.2 Going concern The charitable CoMpanS unrestricted funds are arrived after deducting £30,000 in respect of the alculaled liability relabng to the Defined Benefft Pension Fund (Note 191. Where, under FRS 102 section 28, a charity discloses a signfficant pension furid deficit, this does not mean that an immediate liability for this amount crystsllises. In particular, the disclosure of a pension liability does not mean that the equivalent amount is already committed and is no longer available to the Trustees lo further the charitable company's objecb"ve5. The trustees are confident that the charitable company can meet r(s pension contributions from projected future income without 51gnrfanI impacl on its planned levels of charitable activity and so consider the eharity wll eontinue to operate as a going eonceTn. 2.3 Income All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, il is probable that the income will be receNed and the amount of income receivable can be measufed reliably. Grants are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for speciflc purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance Sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where enlrf(lemenl occurs before income is received. the income is accrued. Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified. The value of services provided by volunteers has rM)t been included in these accounts. Incoming resources from grants. where related lo performance and specific deliverables. are accounted for as the Charity eams the right to the considerats.on due by ils satisfaction of performan obligations. Where income is received in advance of performance it is Irealed as deferred income and included within creditors. Page 18
Murray Hall Community Trust Limited (A Company Limited by Guarantee) Notes to the Financial Statements Forthe Year Ended 31 March 2023 Accounting policies (continued) 2.3 Income Icontinuedl Where grant funding agreements contain conditions that specfy the services to be performed in the form of a service level agreement. the condits.ons for payment are linked to the achievement of particular level of service or the units of oulput delivered. Income must only be reeognised to the extent that the Chanty has provided the slfied serviees as entsllement lo the grant only occurs when the performance-relaled condib.ons are met. On receipt, donated professional services and facilitres are recognised on the basis of the value of Ihe gift lo the Charity which is the amount it would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market." a corresponding amount is then recognised In expenditu in the period of receipt. 2.4 Expenditure Expenditure is recognised once Ihere is a legal 01 constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit lo a third paty. it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlemenl and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classrfied by aclivity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each aclivrty. Direct costs attn"butable lo a single acltvtty are allocated directly to Ihal activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable lo a single activity are apporh.oned bettveen those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs a alloeated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the porb.on of the asseys use. Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitulional and stalutory requirements of the Charity and include audit fees a1 cosls linked to the strategic management of the Charity. Expenditure on raising funds includes all expendilure incurred by the Charity lo raise funds for ils haritable purposes and includes cosls of all fvndrai5ing activities events and non-charitable trading. Expenditure oft charitable activitse5 is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well'as any associated support costs. l expenditure is indusive of irrecoverable VAT_ 2.$ Government grants Govemment grants are credrted to the statement of financial acb'vilies as the related expenditure is incurred. 2.6 Taxation The Charity 15 considered to pass the tests set oul in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore il rneels the definition of a charitable company for UK corporats'on tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially exempl from laxab.on in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992. to Ihe extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively lo charrtable purposes.
