## 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.

## **Hijinx Theatre Audit Findings Report – Year Ended 31st March 2022** 

## 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.

## **Hijinx Theatre Audit Findings Report – Year Ended 31st March 2022** 

## **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 £20,000 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 £1,000.

## **1.8  Updates** 

## **Revive, Refocus, Rebuild – The Journey back to better guide** 

Azets have produced a guide each quarter focussing on advice to enable your charity to ‘Revive, Refocus, Rebuild’ as a result of the pandemic. To date two issues have been produced covering a wide range of topics from tips for effective board meetings, VAT, fundraising, fraud, Gift Aid and trustee inductions. 

The links below will allow you to view the digital publications: 

**Issue 1** : https://www.azets.co.uk/media/zkxbwt4i/revive_refocus_rebuild_-_issue_1_-_digital_fnal.pdf **Issue 2** : https://www.azets.co.uk/media/tjdbz3ou/fnal-version-back_to_better_issue_2.pdf 

## **Fraud** 

The charity sector is inherently susceptible to fraud due to its operations, such as the use of cash/cheques (decreasingly common in non-charity organisations), ability for fraudsters to embed themselves in charities through volunteering, the ability to prey on individuals’ good nature and a lack of sophistication of controls, to name but a few. 

Fraud within the sector has continued to hit the headlines during the 2021/22 financial year. The links below will provide great insight and tips on how you can protect your charity’s assets and mitigate against the risk of fraud occurring:

## **Charity Governance Code (Updated)** 

As noted in our prior year Audit Findings Report the Charity Governance Code was updated in 2020. The code refined two of the seven principles: the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Principle and the Integrity Principle. 

For all charities – big or small – equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) matter for two main reasons: 

1. Great EDI practice sits at the heart of good governance. To effectively deliver their public benefit, boards must focus on achieving equality of outcomes carrying out their charitable purpose.    To make better and more informed decisions, boards must be diverse. That includes, where appropriate, reflecting and highlighting the voices of the community that the charity seeks to serve. And for these decisions to be robust, all trustees must have the power to fully participate. Societal power imbalances must be prevented from playing out in the boardroom. 

2. EDI has the power to create social justice – in boardrooms, organisations, across the charity sector as a whole and ultimately     throughout society. 

The revised code can be found on the link below: 

https://www.charitygovernancecode.org/en 

## **Safeguarding** 

The Charity Commission updated their guidance and safeguarding for charities and trustees in November 2021. The guidance informs charities and trustees of their responsibilities to keep everyone who comes into contact with your charity safe from harm: this includes volunteers, staff and beneficiaries. 

The guidance recommends if you haven’t reviewed your policy in over a year, you should do so as a priority. 

The revised guidance can be found on the link below: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/safeguarding-for-charities-and-trustees

## 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. 

**£** Understatement of accruals (3,338) Understatement of accrued income 4,546 **Impact on deficit 1,208**
