Income from slatuioTh, bodies is from a 'call otr conlrdci. This ineNitabl)' presents cash- flow issues and incomc from these sources ivill require careful monitoring to ensur¢ it does not result in the charity experiencing serious liquidityi issues in the future.

Owing to the inherent limitations of an audil, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have delecled some maierial misstatements in ihe financial stalem¢nts. even though we hat properlv pla[ed and performed our audit in accordance 'ith auditing standards.
