income stream to support the maintenance of the park and its infrastructure. The
Green Bridge rental unitsprovide a significant contribution to the Charity's income
stream.
Is

KING GEORGE'S FIELD, MILE END
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEE
Foi the Yeaz En(led 31 March 2023
In zelation to this propety renral iucome stream we have identifled the following
risks..
Non payment of renLlarrears
Tenants vacatinglserving Notice
Breaches of leases
To mitigate against the above risks a competent lettings agent, appointed by the
Council. manages the tenaney arrangements for the Green Bridge rental uniis to
ensure best value and g￿a management of tenants.
7.2. Rental arrears."
The lettings agent takes a proactive approach to monitoring rental income and take
early intervention if there are any issues identified with a tenant. If required, the
counal can undertake debt recovery action ensuring rent is received and arreats
are managed.
7.3. Tenants vacatinglserving notice:
Historically the rental units have been W occupied a low turnover of
tenanis. Some of the units have been occupied by the same tenants for over ten
years and dwillg the pandemic only one tenant ceased 10 trade, and they easily
assigned their lease. showing the TesilieDce of the location. The location is attractive
to a wide range of businesses due to its proximity to Mile End tube statton. a nearby
university and residential ￿eaS that provide a high level of footfall.
With a large number of the tenants benefitting from Security of Tenure under the
IAndlord and Tenant Act 1954. theywould have to serve notÉce on the landlord to
leave. As a result, there will be at 1&95t a 3-month notice period. which will assist
in the markering of the unit and would hopefully mitigate the ri$k of a void period
and loss of income. In the event of a unit being vacant for a peii(Nl of time the
Ch￿lty could utilise the council's Meanwhile Use programme to ten)porarily
occupy a vacant uniz with a 'pop-up' shop, thereby maintaining the vitaliry of the
location. It also has the ilnpact OE maintaining occupation, and therefore rniugates
void costs, as well as the ii5k of squatte￿.

7.4. Breaches of leases:
Lease5 are monitoied by the letting agent and the Park managemenc team with
support from the counal s enforcemenr and legal teams if required. This approach
enables any breaches or compliancy issues to be resolved as quickly as p0&8ible.
7.5. In addiuon to rental income. the Charity also relies on income generated through
the venue hire of the kns and Ecology Pavilions. The Park management team
promotes and mallages bookings for the pavilion& which aTe uow well-established
venues for weddings, prlvate, commercial and CoLTOra￿ events that generate
income. Improvements include setting up an Insragram account, which has helped
to increase the number of enquiries and bookings. Although there are peak periods
for hirers (spring to autumn), the Park nianagement team continue to diversity the
range of clients and adapt to changing market ¢On8iderdtioDs.
7.6. Costs of Repairs and Maintenance:
The Park management tearn operates a comprehensive inspection 2nd repair
regime for the Charity's land and faeilities. In addition, the Charkty reinvests some
of the incoll￿ generated through hires to upgrade facilities and equipmeni to
ensure its open spaces &nd buildings are safe and welcoming places for the public
and commercial ienants alld venue hiIers.
In addition, the council's Facilities Management team undertake regular
preventative maintenance and surveys. This oveiall appToach of maintaining and
investing reduces the risk of significant buildlnyjfacility failwes that could lead ro
larger and unplanned for repairs andjor replacement costs.
As out]ined above. incorne frozn tenancies and hires is utilised 10 undettake repairs
and rnaintenance of the Charity's assets. This approach enables the Charity to
ensure Health and Sa£ery legislation is complied with and that the building5 remaÉn
in a good SLqte of repait. As the venues are hired out regularly, it is important both
operationally and reputationally that the buildings are well maintained.

Re5pon¥lblllties of trust••s
As explained rnts￿ fvlly in the Statement of Trustees. Responsibilities, the trustees are responsible for the

control as the directors detetminE is necessary to enaN8 the pieparation of accounts that are free from

Audltorfs rg8pon$ibilities for the audlt of the financial statèment$
We have been appointed a9 auditor under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in acctsrdance
with the Act and relevant Tegulalions rnade or havlng effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial $lalgmerhts as a whole are
free from material misststement, whether due to fraud or errtsr, and lo issue an audilDrfs report thal includes
ouropinlon. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but 15 nota guarantee that an audit conducted

Irregularities, including fraud. are in$lance$ of non.compliance with taws and regulaticns. We design

irregularities. including ftaud. The extent to wXr¢h OLJr proceduies are capabl& of detecting irTegularilies,
including fraud. is detailed below.
Detection of fraud and brnaches of regulation$
To identify risks of material mi$$tatemenl due lo fraud, we consid￿d event5 orconditions that C(M￿d indicate
an incentive or pressu￿ lo commit traud or provide an opportunty lo dc• so. Our approach included..
usin9 analytical pro¢edures lo Idenlrfy unu$ual relationships,.
reading mlnutes of trustee meetings.,
discussing charity policies and procedurès on fraud dete¢lion arKI pr¥ventlon vAth trustee$. and
enquiring aboLrt any kno￿edge of actual. alleged or suspeeted fraud.
We comrnunicaled identified fraud risk$ throughout our team and remained alert lo any indicaUon$ of fraud
thfoughoul the audit.
To identity rl$ks of materfal mlsststernent due to non4ompliance wslh laws and regulations. our approach
was as follows,
We identified areas ol laws and regulations that coukl reagonably be expected to have a materia
effect on the fInar￿la1 $*atements from our general charity experience. and through discussion with
the trustees and other management {as required by auditing stsndardsl, and discussed with the

23

K￿G GEORGE'S FIELD. MILE END
AUDITOR'S I¢EPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF KING GEORGE'S FIEID, MIIE END
We considered the nature of the industry, the control environment and charity'5 performance_
We communicated identified laws and regulaltons throughout our team and remained alert to any indications
of nonveompliance throughout the audll.
Ba8ed on this understanding we deslgned our audrt wocedures lo identify non<ofnplianc8 with Such laws
and re9ulalions. Where the ii8k was considered to be higher. we performed audit procedures to addre$$
each identyfied fraud risk. We also perfomied procedu￿$ to address the rl$k of management Dverride of
controls and the rfsk of fraudulent revenue rocognition, In particular the risks that rev8nue is r8corded in the
wrong period and that managemenl may be in a posilivn lo make inappropriate ac￿￿nts.ng entrfes. Our
procedures included.. lesllng manual journah.. revlewlng the financial stat8m8nl dis¢losures and testsng to
supporting documentation., performing analytlcal procedures.. and enquirie$ of management, and were
designed to provide reasonable assurance that the financial 8tafrments were free fr&m fraud or error.
Omng to the inherent lirnitatic*ns of an audit. there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected
some wnalerial n7iSStatements in the financial slatemenls, even though have properly planned and
perfomed our audit in accordance with audillng stsndards For examplè. thè further ￿moVed no
compliance with laws an(F regulations is frorn the events and transactions ￿ffected in the financial
statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures ￿qUired by audiling standards would Identify11.
The risk is also greater regarding non4ete¢tion of fraud rather than error. a$ fraud may involve intentional
concealmgnt. forgery. collusion, omissi)n or misrepresentstion. Our audit procedures are designed to
detect materlal misstatement. We are not fesponglble for preventing non-compliance and cannot be
expected to del8¢t non-¢ompliance Mlh all laws and regulations.
A further description of our responsibilities Is available on the Financial Reporting Council's website at..
https..IlvfvM.frc.org.uklauditors￿sponSIb1Iltie5. This de$¢ripkn"on foms part of our auditor's report.
