Thi5 15 21 % higher than the previous year. The majority of enquiries are around advice con¢eming education and healih.
This sustained increase in demand has noi been M￿ched wilh an increase in fundino which has put the servic¢ undei
immense pres5uie. increasing waiting ti￿e5 for families to access advice, and Teducino our capacil}' further still for
SENDIASS io be offering l.. I casework sup￿)rt for parent carers. We coniÉnue to provide as m￿ch information as we can
through our website. which in 2022-23 attrdcted 48,807 users across 80.997 web sessions and 3.944 factsheets were
downloaded. Our website is being rebuilt (due for completion December 202)) and a separdie young people's web5lte

as we oet news of awards. Like SENDIASS. capacity for casework support is limited and so we necessarily prioiitise
families experiencing addttional barriers for l-l supp)rt. eg parent carers who may haTre addiiional needs ihemselves or for

Amaze is in a healthy fmancial txTrsition. which is importAni in demonsrdtine our stability as an organisation to our staiutory

from a ranue of different sources. While we coniinue to build other fundraising io diversify our income strcam5, lie remain
dependent upon our core contracts and grants with local auihortties and the NHS, and many of these are short-temi, often

these all have caveats in them which Tneans they are still subject to annual budget settints and typically paJTnents are made
in atTears, meaning we have to use our reserves to Provide the neces5ary'cashflow' to resource our work.
Precarious contracting aTrangeTnenis and th¢ genenl uncenainty, of local government and NHS ￿ndin{y where there ar¢
saving pressures in place all J'ear arouTrd. is putting MO￿ financial risk onto Amaze. It is this context which Amaze

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERSOF

A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE
Our responstbilitie5 for the a￿dit of the financial stateTh£￿ts
Our objectives ate to obiain reasoDabl¢ as5ufdnce about *heth¢r the financial stsiements as a whole ar¢ free frotn material
misstaiemenl whether due io fraud or e￿or. and to i55ue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a hsgh level of assuronce_ but l5 not a tsuardntee that an audit conducied in accordance with ISAS
(UK) will always delect a material missthtemeni when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are
considered material if. individually or in the ao.tsreoate. they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken oll the basis of these finallci31 S￿eT￿ents.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregultiTities. including fraud is detailed below-
We (Tained an undersLinding of the legal and regulatory fraEnework applicable to the charitsble COTnpan)' and the industry in
which il operates, and consideied the risk of acts by the charitable company that were contrary to applicable laws and
regulations. including fraud. We ideniified that the following laws and regulations are central to the charitable company..
Companies Ad 2(KJ6
Chariiies Act 2011
Charities SORP 2019
Healih & safety regulations
We did not find any it]siances of non-compliance or breaches of the legisl&ion framework applicable to the charitable
company.
We designed audit procedures to respond to the risL ￿COgnisIng that th¢ risk of not ddecting a M￿erIal missthtement due
to fraud is higher than the risk of noi deteciing one re5lllting from emr. &s fraud May involvc deliberate concealment by, for
example, foroery or inientional misr¢pr¢%nlations, or through collusion.
We identified that the followin" areas were of high risk..
Completeness of income. We ￿rfOrnied various audit lests lo ensure that income was not maierially understaied in the
financial stsiement5.
Management override of controls. We perforn)ed various audit tests to ensure there was no material monagement
Ove￿ide of controls
We focussed on laws and reoulations which could give rise io a m*erial misstatelneni in the financial siatements, incllldin&
but not limited to, the Companies Act ?006, UK tax legisl￿10n, Charities Act 2011 and Charities SORP 2019. Our tests
included agreeing the financial sthtemeni disclosures to underlTr'ing Sup￿rting documentstion, enquirits with management
and enquiries of legal coups¢l when considered n¢c¢5sary. There are inherent limiraiions in the audit procedure5 described
above and, the further removed non-compliance with law5 and regulations is from the events and trdll5actions refleC￿d in
the fsnancial siatements. the less likely we would becotne aware of ii. We did not identify any kev audit tnatters relating to
irregularities, including fraud. As in all our audits, ￿.¢ also 3ddres5ed the risk of management ove￿ide of internal controls,
includinu testing journals and evaluaiin¥ whether there was evidence of man4(Temeni bias by the directors that repre5ellted a
risk of tnaterial Missta￿Ment due io frdud.
A further d¢scription of our responsibilities for the audit of the fioanctal statements is located on the Financial Reporting
Council's websiie at www.frc.or(T uK'audi(orsresponsibilities_ This desciipiion forn)s par( of our Report of the Independeni
