The Anchor Foundation
Independent Auditor's Report to the Trustees and Members of The Anchor Foundation
for the year ended 31 March 2024
Opinion
We have audtted the financial statements of The Anchor Foundation (the '¢haritable company'l for the year
ended 31 March 2024 which comprise Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet, and notes to the
financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has
been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including
Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of
Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2024, and of its
incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expendilure, for the year then
ended.,
have been property prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting
Practice., and
have been prepared in accordance wrth the requirements of the Companies Act 2006, the Charities and
Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and regulation 8 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland)
Regulations 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing {UK) {ISAs (UK)) and
applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditorfs
responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the
charitable ¢ompany in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial
statements in the UK, including the FRC'S Ethical Standard, and we have futfilled our other ethical
responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained
is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relatEng to going concem
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees, use of the going concern basis of
accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have perfomied, we have not identrfied any material uncertainties relating to events or
conditions that. individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to
continue as a going con￿rn for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are
authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees wrth respect to going concern are described in the
relevant sections of this report.
Other Infomiatlon
The other information comprises the infomation included in the trustees, annual report. other than the
financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information
contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other
information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly ststed in our report, we do not express any form of
assurance conclusion thereon.
Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other infomialion is
materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or
otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent
material misstatements, we are required to detemine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in
the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a
material misstatement of this other information we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report
in this regard.

The Anchor Foundation
Independent Auditor's Report to the Trustees and Members of The Anchor Foundation
for the year ended 31 March 2024 (continued)
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companles Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
the infomiation given in the trustees, report for the financial year for which the financial statements are
prepared is consistent with the financial statements- and
the trustees, feport has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on whlch we are requlred to report by exception
In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in
the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees, report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006
and the Charities Accounts {Scotland) Regulations 2006 require us to report to you if, in our opinion..
adequate and proper accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not
been received from branches not visited by us- or
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and retums., or
certain disclosures of directors, remuneration specified by law are not made-, or
we have not received all the infomiatton and explanations we require for our audit,. or
the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small
companies, regime and take advantage of the small companies. exemptions in preparing the directors,
port from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the statement of trustees, responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors
of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the
financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as
the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the fin8ncial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's
ability to continue as a going contsm, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using
the going concem basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or
to cease operations, or have no realistic altemattve but to do so.
Auditovs responsibilities forthe audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 44(1)(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment
(Scotland) Act 2005 and under the Companies Act 2006 and report in accordance with regulations made
under those Acts.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes
our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assuran￿. but is not a guarantee that an audit
Conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate,
they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these
financial statements.

The Anchor Foundation
Independent Auditor's Report to the Trustees and Members of The Anchor Foundation
for the year ended 31 March 2024 (continued)
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non<ompliance with laws and regulations. We design our
procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of
irregularities, including fraud. The specific prO￿dureS for this engagement and the extent to which these are
capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below..
InqUi￿d of management, and those charged with govemance, about their own identification and
assessment of the risks of irregularities, including any known actual, suspected or alleged instances
of fraud.,
The audit engagement team identified the risk of management override of controls as the area where
the financial statements were most susceptible to material misstatement due to fraud. Audit
procedures performed included bLrt were not limited to testing manual joumal entries and other
adjustments, evaluating the business rationale in relation to any significant unusual transactions and
challenging judgements and estimates.,
Reviewing minutes of meetings held by management and those charged with governance to identrfy
any matters including actual or attempted fraud, litigation and noncompliance with laws and
regulations.,
Inspecting expenditure incurred in the year while making sure this has been appropriately
categorised in the accounts. This included agreeing a sample from the nominal ledger to purchase
invoice while also reviewing post year end transactions and invoices to confirm the completeness of
the expenditure was disclosed.

The Anchor Foundation
Independent Auditor's Report to the Trustees and Members of The Anchor Foundation
for the year ended 31 March 2024 (continued)
Based on the inherent limttations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including
those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This
risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions
reflected in the financial statements. as we will be less likety to become aware of instances of non-
compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud
nvolves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
As part of an audÉt in accordance with ISAS (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain
professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also=
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud
or error. design and perform audtt procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve
collusion, forgery. intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of intemal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the charttable company's internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees, use of the going concern basis of accounting and,
based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material Un￿rtaInty exists related to events or
Conditions that may cast signrficant doubt on the charitable company's abilty to continue as a going
concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists. we are required to draw attention in our
auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, rf such disclosures are
inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the
date of our auditorfs report. However, future events or Conditions may cause the charitable company to
cease to continue as a going concem.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements. including the
disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underfying transactions and events in a
manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope
and timing of the audtt and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control
that we identfy during our audit.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of
Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006, and to the charitable company's trustees, as a body, in accordance with
Regulation 10 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken
so that we might state to the charitable company's members and trustees those matters we are required to
State to them in an auditorfs report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do
not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company. the charitable company's
members as a body and the charitable company's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for
the opinions we have formed.

Capital Commitments and Contlngent Liabilities
There were no capital commitments at 31 March 2024.
At the year end the Foundation had indicated to a number of charities that they would be further
supported subject to meeting satisfactory performance criteria. As it is not known at the year end the
likelihood of these conditions being fulfilled part of the grants payable amounting to £8,000 {2023.'
£4,000). have not been provided for in the accounts and are therefore disclosed as contingent
liabilities.
