The Charity currently does not have a policy on level of reserves Since the Sole Trustee 1$ the London Borough of Tower Hlets. which meet$ in fjjll the Charirfs net eKpendi¢ure. so the Chariry'$ fiJndM IS 5ecwed. The Trnst Charity Board rherefore has no¢ set up any financial reserves ro procecr against any unforeseen AuCariOnS in income or expenditure. The UK Government imposed coronavints {Covid-1911(*kdown measures in ETLgland on 26 March 2020 nd subsequently revised and extended them. As a result. many workers wele furloughed and many venues, facilities and amenities were closed. After thÉs lotkdown was lifted, various other restrietion5 were in plote throughout 2020 and a second lockdown was implerneEhted from the 5 November 2020. Thi$ had a decrimental effecttothe Trusts fiThantial position during the 2020121 finaneial yeaT. However, the London Boiough of Tower Hamlets has contributed £35XI,000 of cOd relief funding to the Chariry to mitigate against the impacts of coa-19 in 2020121 to ensure that at the reporting date and moving forward the Charity would be able to continue as a going concern. The key risks to the Chariry include financial. reputational and Pb]IC safery risks. The Park managernent tearn, on behalf OF the Charity, acts to create a 5U5tainable income stream to support the maintenance oFthe park and its infr2strneture. The Green Bridge rentJ units provide a $ignifi¢an¢ contyibuuon io the ChaTiry'S income $rr¢am. In relation to this propeity rental income stream we have identified the following risk$-. Non-payment of rentlarrears Page 24
Tenants vacatinglserving Notice Breaehes of leases To mitigate against the above rtsks a competent lettings agent, appointed by the Counckl, manages the tenancy arrangenents for the Green Bridge rental units to ensure best value And good management of tenants. The lettings agent takes a proactive approach LO monitoring rental income aELd take early intervention if there are any issues identthed with a tenant. If required, the Council can undertake debt iecovery action ensuring tent is received and arrears are managed. Historically the rental units have been llY occupied with a low rurnover of teThants. Some of the units have been occupied by the same tenants for over ten years and durin8 the pandemie only one tenant Ced to trade, and they easily assigned their lease. showing the resilience of the location. The location is attractive to a wide range of businesse5 due to its proximiry to Mile End tube s¢atRon, a nearby universiry and TesideELtial areas that prOde a high level oFFDDtEall. With a large number of the tenants benefitting from Security of Tenure under the Landbrd and Tenant Aet 1954. they would have to serve notice on the knidlord to leave. As a tesult. there will be at least a 3-month nouce period, which will assist in the rnarketing of the unit and would hoPeIlY miiigate the risk of a void period and loss of income. In the event of a unit being vac&nt for a perkod of tirne the Chasiry could utilise the c¢)urtcit's Meanwhile Use programme to temporzrily occupy a vacant unit with a'pop-up, shop. thereby maintaini8 the vitality of the location. It a150 has the IpaCt of maiThtaining occttpation, ana therefore mitigates void costs. ?s well a5 the risk of squatter5. Leases are monitored by the letting agent and the Park managemenr ce&m with support from the CountÈl's enforcement and legal tearn5 if Tequired. This approach enables any bTeache5 or compliancy issues to be resolved as quickly 8$ possible. tn addition to rental income. the Charity aho relies on income generated through the veTrue hire oFthe nd Ecology Pavilions. The Park management team piomotes and manage$ b(M)kings for the pavilions, which are now well-es¢ablished venue5 for weddings. private, commercial and COTporate events that generate income. ImprovemeThts include setting up an Instagra7n aCCot, which has helped ro increase the number of enquirie5 and bookings. Although there are peak periods for hirers (spring to autiimnl, the Park managemenE team continue to diversity the range of clkents and adapt to changing market considerations. The Park anageMe1}t team operates a comprehensive inspection and repair regirne for the Chariry's land and facilities. In addition, the Chariry reinvests some of rhe income generated through hires to upgrade facilities and equiprnent to ensure its open Spaces and buildings are safe and welco]ning places for the public and commeraal Èenants and venue hirers. In addition, the council's Facilities Management teamunderiake regular preven¢&tive maintenance and sutY$. This oveTall approach of maintaining and iELvestiELg reduces the risk of 5Tgnificani buildinglFaciliry failures that could lead ro larger and unplanned for repairs and/or replacernent costs. Page 25
As outlined above, incozne from tenancie5 and hires is utilised to undertake repairs and maintenance of the Charity's a55ets. This approach enables the Charity to ensure Health and Safety legislarion is complied with and that the buildEngs remain in 8 good state of repakr. As the venues are hired out regularly, it is ktnportant both operationally and rePtationlly that the buildings are well maintained. The PaTks management team implements safe practices for the parks and amenities including regular patrols by Park Rangers with any issues recorded and reported to management. There are operational procedure$ br the zegular inspection and aIntenanCe of play ana gysry equipment by trained park stafF and independent play inspectors. These operating procedures have been developed in line with the relevant guidance and reviewed by dLe Council's Corpctrate Health and Safety team.

Auditoes te$pon$ibilities for the audit of the financial ¥latemgnts We have been appointed as auditor under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in #¢¢ordance with the and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. Our objectives arè to obtain reasonable assuraneè about whèthèr the financial statements as a whole aré free Irom material tfi5slalemenl. whether due to fraud or ery¢r. and lo Issue an audilorfs ieport that includes ouropinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit cOndted in ardance wilh ISAS IUKI will always detect a material misstatement when il exi51s. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are ctsnsidered malerial if, individually or in the ag9regaÉe. they could reasonably be expected lo influence the economiB e510n5 of users taken on the basis ol these financial slalemenls. Irregularities, including fraud, are instarrks of nOn-mpli3Ce with laws and regulaltons. We design pr¢cÈdures in line with our responsibilities, oullined abtrve, to deteci material misstatements in rèspect of irregularities, including fraud. Tha extènt to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, induding fraud, is detailed belt)W. tection of fraud and breaches of regulations To identify risks of material rnisstatement due to fraud, we considered events o¥ conditions that could indicate an incentive or pressure to commit fraud or provide an opportunity to do so. Our approach included.. using analylic81 procedute5 10 identify unusual relationships., reading rninules of Irustee meetings., dis¢ussing ¢harity policies and procedures on Iraud detection and prevention with Iwstees, and enquiiing about any knowledge of actual, alleged or suspected fraud. We ¢orrmunicaled identiffied fraud risks throughout our team and remained alert to any indications ol fraud throughout th8 audit. To identify risks ol malerlal misslalemenl due to non-compl1an with laws and regulations, our approa¢h was a5 follow5.. We identified areas of laws and wulalions that could reasgnably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our general charity experience. and through diu$s1o with the Iruslees and other management las requi by auditing standards), and di$wssed with the Iruslees and oiher management the policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations" We considered the legal and regulatory frameworks directly applicable to the financ481 statements reporting framework IFRS 102 and the Charities Acl 20111 and the relevant tax comp1ian¢e regulations: We conSided the nature of the industry. the control environmet)l and charily's performance. 14 Page 30
We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout ourleam and Temain$d alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. 8ased on thi$ understanding we desig11od our audit PToTrdures lo identify non-compliance with such laws and regulatlDns. Where the risk was considered lo be higher, we performed audit procedures lo address èa¢h identifièd fraud risk. We also performed procedures to address the risk of management override of controls and the risk ol fraudulent revenue recognition. in particular the risks that revenue is recorded in the wrong period and that manayement may be in a position lo make inapprtspriale accounting entries. Our procedures included.. testing rnanu81 journals.. reviewing the financial slaleFnenl disclosures and lesling to supportlll9 do¢um¢nlalion,' perforrning 8n8lylical procedures., and enquiries of tranagement, and were designed to prOrte reasonable assurance that the finandal Statements were free frorn fraud or èrror. Owing to the inherent limitation$ of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstalements in the financial stalements. even though we have properly planned and performed our audil in accordance with auditin9 Standards. For example, the further removed non- con7plianTr wilh laws and regu181itsns isfrom the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements. the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing slandafds would identify it. The risk is so greater regarding non.deteclion of fraud ialh¢r than error. as fraud rnay involvè intentional concealment, forgery, CollS1on, omission or misrepresenlalion. Our audil Pfocedures are designed lo delect material rnisslalemenl. We aro nol responsible lor preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected lo deled non- compliance with all laws and regulations.
