4 ISA 265 - Control Issues/Recommendations

The nature and extent of our audit procedures varies according to our assessment of the charity’s accounting and internal control systems and may cover any aspect of the business operations that we consider appropriate.

Our audit is not designed to identify all significant weaknesses in the charity’s systems but, if any such weaknesses come to our attention during the course of the audit that we think should be brought to your attention, we shall report them to you.

The following matters were identified during the prior year’s audit.

5 Other Matters

5.1Post balance sheet events

Are the trustees aware of any post balance sheet events?

5.2Related party transactions

Other than those already disclosed in the in the financial statements are the trustees aware of any other material related party transactions. Please note the ‘immediate family’ terminology has been replaced with ‘persons closely associated’ and includes spouses, dependent children or a relative who has lived in the same house for more than a year.

5.3Contingent liabilities

Are the trustees aware of any contingent liabilities at the year end?

1.1International Standard on Auditing (ISA 570) – (Revised September 2019) Going Concern

The revised ISA came into effect for periods beginning on or after 15[th] December 2019.

The revised standard increases the work which auditors are required to undertake when auditing the going concern status of an entity. It is the trustee’s responsibility to determine if the organisation is a going concern and our responsibility to review the assessment. Increased testing is required to be performed on the charity’s assessment of the going concern basis of accounting. Documents such as up to date financials, board minutes, budgets and cashflow forecasts are required to be provided to evidence the trustee’s assessment of going concern.

1.2International Standards on Auditing (ISA 540) – (Revised December 2018) Auditing Accounting Estimates and Related Disclosures

The revised ISA came into effect for periods beginning on or after 15[th] December 2019.

The updated objective requires audit procedures to address whether both the accounting estimates and related disclosures are reasonable (rather than simply adequate) in the context of the financial reporting framework.

Enhanced documentation will be required, particularly around:

• understanding the entity;

• the link between audit risks and audit procedures;

• the response if management procedures are inadequate;

• indicators of possible management bias and implications for the audit; and

• significant judgements made when assessing whether or not estimates and disclosures are reasonable.

1.3Threats to independence and objectivity

At the planning stage any issues were communicated to the trustees who were satisfied that adequate safeguards are in place. Nothing has come to our attention to alter this view.

1.4Section 393 Accounts to give true and fair view

The trustees of a charity must not approve accounts unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss –

• (a) In the case of the charity’s individual accounts, of the charity;

• (b) In the case of the charity’s group accounts, of the undertakings included in the consolidation as a whole, so far as concerns members of the charity.

1.5Section 501 of the Companies Act 2006

In connection with representations and supply of information to us generally, we draw your attention to Section 501 of the Companies Act 2006 under which it is an offence for anyone to recklessly or knowingly supply information to the auditors that is false or misleading or to fail to provide information requested promptly.

1.6Fraud

It is the trustee’s responsibility to implement a framework of internal control that actively prevents and detects fraudulent activity. Our responsibility as auditor is to consider fraud risk to the entity and to conduct audit procedures work that would give us a reasonable expectation of detection of any material fraud only. To this end we have considered key controls in place within the organisation that contribute towards the prevention and detection of fraud and conducted any other work that we consider necessary to provide us with assurance that the financial statements are free of material fraud.

Our work as auditor is not intended to identify any instance of fraud of a non-material nature and should not be relied upon for this purpose. In the event that the trustees wish to obtain enhanced assurance with regard to the effectiveness of internal control in preventing and detecting fraud we would be happy to provide additional services. Within our firm we have individuals with specific counter-fraud expertise gained within a variety of industry sectors. We can offer specific counter-fraud reviews and consultancy in addition to tailored counter fraud assessment tools.

Note: Trustees have a statutory duty to report fraud to the Charity Commission.

1.7 Materiality

The materiality applied to our work was £18,900 and was calculated by reference to a range of indicators including the charity’s income, expenditure and gross assets. Our reporting threshold, under which errors are not reported to the Board was £945.

1.8 Updates

Charity Governance Code

The updated 2020 Code follows a rigorous consultation with the charity sector that received over 800 responses. This work has resulted in a refresh rather than an overhaul of the Code. The consultation report published in August 2020 includes the key themes identified in the consultation. You can view the consultation report here https://www.charitygovernancecode.org/en/about-the-code-1/refreshing-the-charity-governance-code-1.pdf/view

The full updated governance code can be found here https://www.charitygovernancecode.org/en/pdf

COVID-19 Guidance for the Charity Sector

Understandably, charities are concerned about what to do during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, the Charity Commission are continually updating their guidance for the sector in relation to the outbreak. They want to assure charities that their approach to regulation during this uncertain period will be as flexible and pragmatic as possible in the public interest, whilst helping trustees to be aware of and think about the wider or longer impact of their decisions on their charity.

A link to their dedicated COVID-19 page can be found here https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19guidance-for-the-charity-sector

Fraud

Charities are vulnerable to fraudsters attempting to exploit the COVID-19 pandemic because staff and volunteers are less likely to have had fraud training. More than 645 charities have fallen victim to scams with more than £3.6million stolen since March 2020. Analysis by independent charity Pro Bono Economics suggests the outbreak will trigger a £6.4billion loss of income for charities over the next six months.

The Charity Commission’s guidance on how to ‘Protect your charity from fraud and cyber crime’ guidance is a great source of information about fraud and cyber crime, how to spot it and what you can do to protect against it.

7 Schedule of unadjusted differences

The responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud or error is that of the trustees. The objective of our audit is to express an opinion on the financial statements.

We plan our audit so that we have a reasonable expectation of detecting material misstatements in the financial statements or accounting records (including those resulting from fraud or error) but our examination should not be relied upon to disclose all such material misstatements or frauds or errors.

There were no unadjusted differences above the triviality level set.
