RMC'S project portfolio expanded considerably last year but all these projects fed into its overall mission to help
facilltate integration of new arrSvals. RMC continued delivering Know your Neighbourhood. funded by the
Department for Digltal, Culture, Media and Sport, intended to irnprove participation of excluded people in services
Nmthin Wolverhampton and encourage volunteering. RMC engaged with a number of isolated people and

reserves.
RMC'S employment team host5 quarterly employment lairs In the Wolverhampton office. helping beneficiarles to
connect with potential employers and training opportunilies.
Re88ttlem•nt work:
The support RMC provSdes is even more evldent in its resettlement work, whlch, through greater resources and
capacity, can offer wraparound holistic support to those who have come to the UK through Rgsettlement
Schemes. RMC has contracts wlth all three local authorities of Birmingham, Wolverhampton and Walsall lo
support resettled Syrians, Sudanese. Afghan5 and Ukrainians who have arrived in the last few years. Every
beneficiary RMC work with receives dedicated support from the moment they arrive In the local area- sometlmes
even being welcomed at the airport by RMC staff.
RMC'S resettlement work does not end wlth dlrect beneficlary support, RMC host events. do outreach, 8nd attend
regular events across the Wesl Midlands.
Looklng Forward:
RMC'S work is subject to key funding and policy challenges. and a rise in hostility towards migrants. refugees and
asylum seekers. Policies of successive govemments to restrict the ri9hl to asylum and increase th8 complexity
and cost of routes to pennanent secure status and ciuzenship, along with a sharp Increase in extenslon of leave
lo remain fees significantly impact on its beneficiary group and heighlen barriers to integration. Funding for Core
work Is hard to access and there is a significant discrepancy between the support RMC can offer to resettled
fugees and those who come through the open door for advice and assistance. However, RMC remains
committed to support some of the most vulnerable in socigty and are gratefvl for the backin9 of a diverse set of
funders and partners who continue to invest in and support its mission.

Matters on which we are rgquired to roPOrt by excepiion
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and
Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion..
the informatlon given in the financlal ststements 18 incon￿Stent in any Material respect vlth the trusle8s'
report.. or
the Charitable company has not kept adequate accounting records., or
..the. financial statements are not in aqreement with the accounting.records and retums; or
we have not received all the infomiation and explanations we require for our audit.
Responslbilities of trustees
As explained more fully In the Iruslees, r8spor)sibiSities statement set out on page 10 the trustees (wfio are also
thè directors of the charitab18 company for the purposes of company lawl are responslble 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 detemine Is necessary to enable the prepBration of financial slalements that are free from material
misstatement. whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial ststemenls, the trustees are ￿spOnSible for assesslng the Charitable company's abllty
lo continue as a going concem, disclosing, as applicable, matters related lo going concem and using the going
¢oncem basis of accounting unless th8 trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or lo cease
operations. or have no realistic altemative but to do so.
Audltor's rèsponslbilitles for thé audlt of the flnanclal statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Ad 2011 and report in accordance with
regulations made under section 154 of that Act.
Our obj8clives are to obtsin reasonab18 assurance about whelher the financi81 statements as a whole are fr88
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. and lo issue an auditorfs report that Sncludes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, bul is not a guarantee that an audit conductéd in
accordance wlth ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstst8m8nl when il 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 declsions of users taken on the bas18 of these financlal stslements.
IrregularftSes. Including fraud, are Instsnces of nonwcompllance wlth laws and regulatlons. We deslgn procedur88
in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities,
including fraud. The extent to whlch our procedures are capable of detecilng Irregularibes, including fraud 18
delailed below..
In planning and designing our audit tests we identify and assess thè risks of material misstatement within the
financial ststements, whether due to fraud or error. Our assessment of these risks includes consideration of the
nature of the industry and sector, the control environment and the charity p8rformanc8 along with the results of
our enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of risks and Ir￿gUIanties. In ¢ommon
with all audils under ISAS (UKI, we ar8 also required to P8rfomi specifiG procedures to respond to the risk of
management override. We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulalory frameworks that the
charitable company operates In. focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on
the determination of material amounts and disclosures In the financial stalements. The key laws and regulations
we considered in this context included the UK Companies Act. Charities Act, UK lax legislation and other laws
and regulations identified as risk areas identified from our discussions wlth management.
We communicated relevant identlfied laws and regulations and polential fraud rfsks lo all engagement team
members including intemal specialists, and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws
8ntl regulations throughout the audit.

The Refugee and Migrant Centre Limited
Company Limited by Guarantee
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of The Refugee and Migrant
Centre Limited
Year ended 31 March 2025
After consideration of the above risks we then carried out audit procedures including the following..
perfoming analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate
risks of material misslatement due to fraud:
reading minutes of trustees meetings,.
reviewing correspondence with H M Revenue & Cusloms;
enquiring of management and reviewing any correspondence with legal advlsors conceming actual and
potential litigation and claims;
reviewing the financial stalernent disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess
compliance wth provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the
financlal -tstemenls j
in addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of
loumal entries and other adjustments; assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting
estimates are indicative of a potential bias., and evalualing the business rationale of any Significant
transactions that are unusual or outslde the nomial course of business.
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more r8moved that the laws arKS
regulations are from financlal transacts'ons the less likely it Is that we would be aware on non<ompllance.
Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures ￿qUIred to identify non-compliance with laws and regulats'ons to
enquiry of the trustees and other m8nagement and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
Material misstatements Ihat arise due to fraud can be harder lo detect than those that arise from error as they
may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial ststements is located on the Financial
Reporting Council's webslte at W¥VW.frc.org.uklauditorsresponsibilits'e8. This description foms part of our audilo¢$
report.

Accounting pollcies
Ba818 of preparatlon
The financial statements have beeii prepared on the historical cost basis, modified to include
certain assets at fair value.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Cash and cash equlvalents
Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand and bank
deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertlble to a known
amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Golng concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe
that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the
expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial
statemenls. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the
charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
Trade debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from funders for services performed in accordance with
charitable objectives.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at agreement value. They are subsequently measured at
amortised cost using the effective interest melhod, less provision for impairment. A provision for
impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will
not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Trade creditors
Trade creditors are obligations 'to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in
accordance with Ihe charitable objectives from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as
current liabililies if the charity does not have an unconditional right, al the year end. to defer
settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the year end. If there is an unconditional
right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the year end. they are presented as non-
current liabilities.

Judgements and key sources of estlmatlon uncertalnty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements,
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. The items in the flnancial
statements where these judgements and estimates have been noted below..
The trustees make an estimate of the recoverable amount owed by debtor5. When assessing
impairment of debtors, the trustees assess the aging of the debt and historical experience. Due
to the debtors being the result of funding agreements, the trustees do not believe that an
impairment reserve is appropriale at the year*nd.
Estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and othèr
factors, including expectations of future events that are believed lo be reasonable under the
circumstances.
Fund accountlng
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the
charity's purposes.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or
commitment.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expendlture declared by the donor or
through the terms of an appeal and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted incorne funds or
' endowment funds.

Incomlng resources
All incoming resources are included In the statement of financial activities when entillemenl has
passed to the charity., it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction
will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specrfic policies
are applied to particular categories of income:
income from donations or grants is recognlsed when there is evidence of entitlement to the
gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement Is eslablished.
Income from donated goods Is measured al the fair value of the gc)ods unless Ihls is
impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost lo the donor
or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the
accounls when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for
the contribution of general volunteers,
income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the
contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual
requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case
it may be regarded as restricted.
Resourc6s expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is Incurred. Expenditure includes any
VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of
financial activities to which it relates..
expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, no
charitable trading activities. and the sale of donated goods.
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking
activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including Ihose
support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable
aclivities.
other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for th8
charily nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.

attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned
between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable. justifiable and consistent basis.

Impalrment of fixed assets
A revlew for indicaiors of impalrment is carried out at each reporting date. wllh the recoverable
amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the
recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for
possible reversal at each reporting date.
For the purposes of impairment testing, when it Is not possible to estimate Ihe recoverable
amount of an individual 8ssel, an estimate is made of the recoverable amounl of the cash-
generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generaling unit is the smallest identifiable
group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of
the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
FlnanGial Instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability Is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the
conlractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial inslruments are Initially recognised at the amount recelvable or payable including
any related transaction costs.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured al the cash or other
consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of Interest
that is nol a market rate. in which case the asset is measured at Ihe present value of the future
payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes
recognised in the stalemenl of flnanclal activlties, with the exception of hedging instruments in a
designated hedging relationship.
Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence
of impairment al the end of each reporting dale. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an
mpairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial
activities in which the initial gain was recognised.
For all equity inslruments regardless of significance, and other financial assels that are
Individually significant, these are assessed individually for Impairment. Other flnancial assets are
either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.
Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not
result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount ￿￿Uld
have been had the impairmenl not previously been recognised.
Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which
the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent
Ihat the prepayment will lead lo a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.
When contribu15ons are not expected to be settled wholly withln 12 months of the end of the
reporting date in which the employees render the related seNice, the liability is measured on a
discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in
