The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). ## **Chair's report** As we reflect on the past 12 months, I am pleased to report on another period of growth and success for the Northampton Town Community Trust. This year has seen continued growth across all areas of our operations-finances, reach, and impact - and this is testament to the dedication of our wonderful team and the continued support of our partners. In terms of impact, we have supported over 6,000 people across Northamptonshire in the past 12 months, helping to create a happier, healthier and more connected Northamptonshire. In 2023-2024, we began an exciting transition of the Further Education Programme (FEP) from the football club to the Trust. The FEP provides full-time post-16 education with a programme of work experience opportunities in a professional sports club environment and this move will enable us to deliver a high standard of education and vocational opportunities for young people. We've already seen the first cohort of students come through this year and look forward to welcoming the second-year students in 2024-25. A major highlight of the year was the successful installation of our Mini Pitch, the prize awarded to us by the European Football Development Network in 2022 and which officially opened in late 2023. This facility is now an invaluable asset for the local community, providing a safe and accessible space for young people to enjoy outdoor activities and it is very uplifting to see the pitch being used on matchdays by a variety of different groups. This year, we have also made significant strides in our commitment to environmental sustainability. We were proud to be named winners of 'Pledgeball', a recognition of our efforts to reduce carbon emissions and promote green initiatives. Additionally, for the second consecutive year, we were selected as finalists for the EFL Green Award, further cementing our place as leaders in sustainability within the football community. And finally, we launched the 'Cobblers Tackling Food Waste' initiative, which is aimed at reducing food waste throughout the county. The Northampton Town Women's team built on the success of their first season in the FA Women's National League (Tier 4) by finishing an admirable 5th in the league. We are very much looking forward to next season and I hope to be able to update you on some exciting plans for the team in my next report. Our relationship with Northampton Town Football Club continues to go from strength to strength. Joint working has remained a key focus throughout the year, and the collaboration between the Trust and the club has allowed us to reach new audiences and amplify our community impact. We are, as ever, indebted to our colleagues at Northampton Town FC, particularly Kelvin, James Whiting, James Corrigan and his team, Nick and Gareth for their unwavering support and generosity. Finally, as we move into the next year, we do so with a sense of pride in all that we've achieved and excitement for the opportunities that lie ahead and I would like to say a heartfelt thank you to Phill and his incredible team, the many volunteers and wonderful supporters whose dedication, hard work, and passion puts the Trust at the centre of our community, making it a stronger, more inclusive, and more connected place to be. Thank you for your continued support.

To do this there are three outcomes the community trust focus on: 1. Improved Health and Wellbeing 2. Stronger, Safer, Connected Communities 3. Enhanced Life Opportunities Our outcomes also link closely and contribute to the UN sustainable goals of 'Quality Education' , 'Good Health and Wellbeing' and 'Reduced Inequalities. The work we deliver is categorised into four core areas. 1. Education and Skills 2. Health and Wellbeing 3. Disability, Inclusion and Participation 4. NTFC experiences We referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future services. ## **Delivering the Charities Outcomes** We hold an annual review of the company's objectives to make sure we are achieving the smart targets set by the board, we focus on key achievements set against the objectives. A theory of change is in place which is reported back on annually to track progress. The review also helps the charity to focus on our aims within the community, we have referred to the guidance contained in the charity commissions general guidance on public benefits when reviewing our aims and objectives when planning our future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set. Page 2 **Northampton Town FC Community Trust (Registered number: 04141812)** ## **Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31st July 2024** ## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Public benefit** ## **How our activities deliver public benefit** Our inclusive activities support people of all ages from the community of Northamptonshire to connect local communities and improve their lives. Over the past year we have continued to support people across our core work strands of education and skills, disability, inclusion and participation, health and wellbeing and NTFC experiences. This has seen 30 different projects delivered. Our strategy focuses on three key outcomes for our work - improved health and wellbeing, enhanced life chances and stronger, safer, connected communities. In 2023-2024, we supported over 6000 people across Northamptonshire through our work. We once again had an external social impact assessment undertaken on our work. This piece of work was commissioned by the EFL in the Community and undertaken by Substance utilising the UEFA grow model. This outlined our total social value as £3,974,361. This was split into Physical Health - £265,763, Mental Health - £2,864,744, Social £378,774 and Education & Employability £465,080. These findings have been really important in showcasing the tangible benefits of our work to funders and key stakeholders locally. Our work continues to focus on communities and the people of Northamptonshire, with a key focus on areas of inequalities across the county. Below outlines a departmental breakdown of how our work further delivers public benefit ## **Education and Skills** The school's department remains the largest areas of work for the community trust and focuses on the key outcome of 'enhanced life chances'. We continued to deliver the Premier League Primary Stars Programme along with a targeted secondary schools programme called 'reset' supporting a total of 1278 pupils over the year. This programme specifically targets pupils at risk of exclusion, supporting them to stay in mainstream education. Our school's workforce expanded to 14 full time staff delivering in 30 schools across the county, 14 of these were based in areas of the highest deprivation (IMD 1-3). Interventions around literacy, numeracy and wellbeing were delivered along with our work to engage with children, young people and families around sustainability continued to expand in 23-24. We once again took part in Planet League, a sustainability challenge to support children and families to make changes to their lifestyles that will impact on the planet. Through this project, families access information and represent the football club against other clubs across the country to make small, lasting changes that can have a big effect on environmental sustainability. We also took part in Pledgeball and thanks to the dedicated efforts of cobblers fans, a staggering 1,950,038kg of Carbon dioxide was pledged to be saved, showcasing the transformative power of collective action in combating climate change. NTFC CT were crowned Pledgeball Champions nationally for the 23-24 season due to the impact made through the programme. 23-24 also saw a new programme called Cobblers Tackling Food Waste launched, this project, working closely with the council aims to bring families and fans together to reduce food waste. 1209 households were engaged & 61 businesses. In one of the schools we worked with, they saw food waste reduce by 47% after being part of the programme. Data also showed a positive correlated increase in the use of food waste bins when the project was being promoted. Alongside our core schools programmes, we continued to deliver curriculum enrichment events focussing on key themes of racism, girls football and resilience. Our employability department supports those furthest away from work or education to access opportunities. Through our work on the Pathways 4 Recovery project which provided bespoke one to one support to people facing multiple barriers, 7 people were supported to move into and stay in work and a further 2 moved into education or training. Through our Volunteer Coach Academy Programme 8 participants successfully completed the programme with 100% of these reporting improvements in confidence having completed. We continued to deliver the Multiply project for North Northamptonshire funded through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. This project targeted families, notably parents with low levels of numeracy skills to help improve their confidence and skills with 100% of the participants engaged in our winning with numbers intervention reporting improved confidence in numeracy skills on completion of the course. In 23-24 we also took on board a new Further Education Programme for 16-18 year old's. The programme is being phased across from the football club across the next two years, with 30 first year students transferring across in 23-24, and a further 40 students transferring across in 24-25. Four of the female students progressed to playing in the NTFC women's first team during the season. Page 3 **Northampton Town FC Community Trust (Registered number: 04141812)** ## **Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31st July 2024** ## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Significant activities** ## **Disability, Inclusion and Participation** Our work in this themed area is delivered by three project leads (disability officer, inclusion officer and women and girls officer) with each taking ownership of targeted areas to develop and deliver provision. This area of work focuses on developing stronger, safer, connected communities. Our disability work supports over 150 participants every week through pan disability (NTMDFC) and targeted provision (Powerchair, CP football, downs syndrome football). We continue to also deliver holiday course provision to further address local needs with 100% of participants attending this programme reporting an increase in confidence. The Northampton Town FC Multi disabled football club continue to take part in a calendar of fixtures enabling people with a disability to represent the football club as part of the BOBI league as well as delivering a play on the pitch opportunity at the end of the season to further inspire participants. Through the every player counts programme, a targeted weekly football programme for people living with mental health or physical disabilities, 86% of participants increased their physical activity levels after being part of the programme. The Inclusion department continues to deliver across five hub sites set up across Wellingborough, Northampton and Kettering. A new site was also introduced in Corby based on increased need. The largest project within this department is Premier League Kicks which engaged with 309 participants. The project continues to engage a higher percentage of diverse participants than the average in the county. This project has helped to reduce anti-social behaviour and improve community relations by providing structured evening activities (football and multi-sports) on estates and in identified areas where there were high occurrences of anti-social behaviour. During the year we identified the increasing number of participants who were being affected by food poverty and working with a local partner, Goodwill Solutions, on top of the regular activities, we were able to also provide food at all sessions for participants. In addition to delivery of these activitybased sessions NTFC CT also continued to deliver food and football activity camps during the Christmas, Easter and summer holidays to support young people in areas of high deprivation to combat food poverty. 232 participants took part in this programme with 70% reporting increased physical activity levels and 65% reporting increased knowledge in healthy eating after taking part in the programme. 365 meals were provided through these camps. As part of our work to develop stronger, safer, connected communities, we continue to deliver the innovative 'anti-crime ambassador' programme, funded by the OPFCC and the Safer Streets Fund. This project continues to help raise awareness of the risks of knife crime in secondary school aged children and engaged with 111 young people across the year. 20 were trained as peer mentors within their schools and communities to further raise awareness with their peers. Our partnership working has been integral to the success of our inclusion work. The NTFC CT sports participation work aims to support people of all ages to access sport and physical activity opportunities. During 2023-24 the NTFC CT programmes continued to provide opportunities for women and girls to take part in football with 423 participants engaging on programmes (up by 30% on last year). The activities provided ranged from first engagement turn up and play sessions such as FA wildcats, Monday Night Legends and Skills centres, all the way through to team-based set ups such as the grassroots football teams, Player Development Centre and the NTFC Women's First Team and Development Team. A structured pathway has been maintained to support women and girls to progress from a first entry into football at the age of 8, all the way through to the NTFC women's team. We continued to deliver the FA's Emerging Talent Centre programme enabling 57 talented girls to take part in structured football coaching and be part of the England talent pathway. 3 participants were invited to England Talent ID days from this programme in 23-24. This project, now in its second year, is run in partnership locally with the county FA and the University of Northampton. Girls football only holiday courses continue to also be well received with 93% of participants reporting increased confidence having attended the programme. It was a successful season for the NTFC Women's Team who once again retained their status in the FA Women's National League, building on their performances once again. The team also took part in two games held at Sixfields Stadium which saw continued record attendances as we use these opportunities to help to inspire the next generation and raise the profile of women's football across Northamptonshire. Finally, the holiday course provision delivered by NTFC CT continued to expand with 478 participants (an increase of 160 from last year) engaging on the programme. 90% of participants improved their confidence through taking part in the programme and 61% stated it supported them to increase their physical activity levels. 72% of participants reported more positive relationships with others as a result of attending the programme. ## **Health and Wellbeing** Our work to improve physical and mental health continued to grow in 23-24. Through our extra time hubs programme, which aims to reduce isolation and loneliness in older adults by bringing people together to take part in weekly social and physical activities, 100% of participants outlined they'd developed new positive social connections through the programme and 19% of participants highlighted an improvement in their mental wellbeing (WEMWBS score) after attending the programme. Page 4 **Northampton Town FC Community Trust (Registered number: 04141812)** ## **Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31st July 2024** ## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** We also continued to deliver our hugely impactful physical health programmes - Man v Fat and Fit Cobblers. Through these programmes, a total of 488kg of weight was lost by participants, with 33 of these participants losing 5% or more of their body weight. There continues to be a trend of poor mental health in children locally. Our support in this area has continued through the 'Team Talk' programme, funded by Children in Need. 46 targeted pupils engaged in this programme in 23-24 with 91% reporting improved mental wellbeing after completion. 89% now find it easier to understand their own feelings and speak to someone about it. This innovative programme covers a range of themes to help children and young people better understand and manage their feelings, using experiences from NTFC academy players to support. We are commissioned by Public Health to deliver NHS health checks across the county, with 786 free health checks completed across the community, an increase once again on the previous year. We are now the largest third party provider of NHS health checks within the county. This support has helped reduce some of the strain on GP surgeries by offering people the opportunity to receive a free health check at a local community setting or workplace at a convenient time to them. Through this work, we are able to signpost people onto further support services where additional support is needed. Page 5 ## **Northampton Town FC Community Trust (Registered number: 04141812)** ## **Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31st July 2024** ## **STRATEGIC REPORT** ## **Achievement and performance** ## **Fundraising activities** Northampton Town FC Community Trust is not a member of the fundraising regulator due to the limited amount of fundraising engaged in. To date, the Trust has not received any complaints with regards to fundraising activities and are mindful not to undertake fundraising activities that: intrude on privacy, are unreasonably persistent, or put any person - especially vulnerable people - under undue pressure to donate. Northampton Town FC Community Trust does not employ or engage with any external fundraising agencies and do not undertake any street-fundraising or telephone cold-calling. ## **Financial review** ## **Financial position** The Community Trust has continued its growth once again this year. The Board has been focused on continuing to improve the financial position of the Trust so that it can effectively weather expected and unexpected challenges, notably as we see high inflation and the continued rising cost of living affecting not only our organisation but the people we serve too. Over the past twelve months, NTFC CT continues to show excellent growth across all areas of the organisation and has continued to diversify funding streams, notably trying to grow all departments so that it does not remain reliant on specific areas to cover others. The results achieved this year continue to indicate that the Trust remains on the right path. In terms of income a positive surplus has been made to help to cover off the outlay for the pitch. With the addition of the further education programme, there has been an increase in turnover of £226,489 with all other 6 departments also increasing in size. Strong systems are in place to understand and control expenditure and due to the work of the Finance Team clear and concise budgets are now produced which are worked through with project holders and key staff. We continually look to improve our financial policies, procedures and reporting mechanisms as we grow as a charity. ## **Principal funding sources** The Community Trust looks to draw its funding from three core areas, 1. Self-generated income - this is through the form of registration fees and sessions fees from participants attending activities and charged work to schools. 2. External grants - which enable us to provide activities free of charge or enabling us to create innovative solutions to challenges our community face 3. Fundraising and donations. In order to receive grant funding from the EFL Trust and the Premier League Charitable Fund, the charity must complete the capability code of practice (CCOP) annually, a form of kitemarking in the sector of which NTFC Community Trust continued to meet the required criteria for 23-24. We would like to place on record our thanks to the following funding partners and grant makers who have supported our work and impact this year: EFL in the Community (formerly EFL Trust) Premier League Charitable Fund BBC Children in Need Northamptonshire Community Foundation The Football Foundation North Northamptonshire Council West Northamptonshire Council The PFA The FA and FA Women's National League Northants Police Crime Commissioners Office Northamptonshire Sport Sport England European Social Fund Wellingborough Town Council Cummins The National Lottery Hubbub Foundation ## **Reserves policy** The board review and examine the expected level of incoming resources and outgoing expenditure on a quarterly basis. The board has examined the charity’s requirements for reserves in light of the main risks to the organisation and it has established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets held by the Charity should be equivalent to the average expenditure incurred over three months of activity. As at 31st July 2024, unrestricted cash reserves stood at £226,109. Based on the significant growth the charity has seen over the past year, and the investment in the previous financial year for a new mini pitch, the new three-month running cost requirement for the organisation is £236,545. In line with our business plan, work will continue in 24-25 to grow these reserves to return to three months as outlined in our policy. The trustees have reviewed the current reserves position along with confirmed income for the next 12 months and consider the organisation will be able to continue operating for at least one year from when the accounts have been signed. Page 6 **Northampton Town FC Community Trust (Registered number: 04141812)** ## **Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31st July 2024** ## **STRATEGIC REPORT** ## **Principal risks and uncertainties** The Trust maintains a risk register which focus on the key risks to the Charity, mainly focused on risks to income but also wider partnership risks and challenges. These are reviewed monthly by the Finance Committee, Quality Assurance Committee and full board. All committees also receive programme updates to ensure that targets are being met and are on course. Given the regularity of meetings the Board can respond quickly to risks and challenges. The Board recognise that there is increased pressure and competition for funding and that there is a higher expectation on impact and as such, have been focussed on ensuring that it maintains diversified funding streams and are not overly reliant on grants. Looking ahead; the strength of our business model continues to support the charity to be in a positive position. Inflation and the rising costs of living continue to affect everyone including charities and businesses and is something we are aware of and continue to mitigate against. We are confident but not complacent that we have the right staff and skills in place to continue to work effectively for and with our local communities. ## **Future plans** In the future, we continue to work towards the goals set out in the Community Trust's 2022-25 Strategy. Northampton Town FC Community Trust is a strong and successful organisation which is well equipped and ready to meet the challenges that the future may bring and are able, due to our flexibility as a charity, to reposition to respond effectively. As such the Trust has put in place for 2022-2025 a detailed and robust business plan. ## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** ## **Governing document** The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 16 January 2001 and registered as a charity on 16 January 2001.

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to - select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; - observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP; - make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; - prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business. The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. In so far as the trustees are aware: - there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and - the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. ## **AUDITORS** The auditors, Cheney & Co, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. Page 8 **Northampton Town FC Community Trust (Registered number: 04141812)** ## **Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31st July 2024** Report of the trustees, incorporating a strategic report, approved by order of the board of trustees, as the company directors, on 19[th] March 2025 and signed on the board's behalf by: ........................................................................ S Desborough - Trustee Page 9 ## **Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of Northampton Town FC Community Trust (Registered number: 04141812)** ## **Opinion** We have audited the financial statements of Northampton Town FC Community Trust (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31st July 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. In our opinion the financial statements: - give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31st July 2024 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended; - have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'; and - have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 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 Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company 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 fulfilled 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 relating to going concern** 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 performed, we have not identified 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 concern 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 with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. ## **Other information** The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine 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. ## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: - the information given in the Report of the Trustees is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or - the charitable company has not kept adequate accounting records; or - the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or - we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. ## **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 financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Page 10 ## **Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of Northampton Town FC Community Trust (Registered number: 04141812)** ## **Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements** We have been appointed as auditors under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. 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 a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, 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 extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: Irregularities , including fraud , are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities , including fraud, is detailed below: We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the company and the sector in which it operates. We determine that the following laws and regulations were most significant: the Companies Act 2006 ,the Charities Act 2022, UK employment taxation laws , safe guarding regulations governing the care of vulnerable persons, Employment Legislation and Health and Safety Legislation affecting employees. There are no critical judgements of an unusual nature. The turnover is income which is closely monitored by the trustees and other administrative staff including the CEO. We have undertaken high levels of substantive testing of balances in the statement of financial position and have performed a detailed analytical review of the income statement. Prior to commencement of the audit staff were briefed on the risk assessment of the susceptibility of the company financial statements to material misstatement , including fraud . Audit procedures performed included: - identifying and assessing the design and effectiveness of controls management has in place to prevent and detect fraud;and - understanding how the trustee directors considered and addressed the potential for override of controls or inappropriate influence over the financial reporting process; and - challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in significant accounting estimates where appropriate;and - identifying and testing journal entries , in particular any journal entries posted with unusual account combinations, as appropriate; and - assessing the extent of compliance with laws and regulations. At the completion stage of the audit the results of audit tests were re-examined to ensure that they were consistent with our knowledge of the company and did not warrant further investigation of transactions and balances. Our responsibility is to conduct an audit of the company's financial statements in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) and to issue an audit report. We are independent of the company 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 fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors. ## **Other matters which we are required to address** ISA (UK) 710 paragraph 14 requires the auditor to state in the auditor's report, that the corresponding figures for 2023 are unaudited. Page 11 ## **Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of Northampton Town FC Community Trust (Registered number: 04141812)** ## **Use of our report** This report is made solely to the charitable company's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' 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 and the charitable company's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
