Deeds not Words panel was launched:

Deeds not Words Day of Action for Race Equality Week where 14 organisations shared their progress across social media.

Impact

800 employees in housing organisations were surveyed for Deeds not Words, 2 years on...

We’ve seen a positive change in Racial Board Diversity in Registered Social Landlords, from 4% of Board members being ethnic minority in 2021 to 9% in 2023.

80% of housing organisations in 2023 have an anti-racism plan compared to only 25% in 2021.

75% of Deeds not Words Pledgees were actively recruiting people from ethnic minority backgrounds.

Significantly more organisations are engaged with their ethnic minority tenants/services users than in 2021.

TAI PAWB NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 STATUTORY INFORMATION Tai Pawb is a charitable ¢ompany, limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales. The charity's registered number and regi5ter8d office address can be found on the Reference and Administrative Details page. The presentation tur￿ n¢y of the finan¢ial statements is the Pound Sterling 1£). ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of preparing the financial ststements and going Concern The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP IFRS 1021 'A¢eounting and Reporting by Charities.. Statement of Reeommended Practice applicable lo charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland {FRS 1021 (effective 1 January 20191,, Financial Reportin9 Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland, and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical ¢ost ¢onvention. The trustees consider Ihal there are no material uncertaintiès aboul the charity's abilty to continue as a going concem. Income r¢eognition All income is recognised in the Sl8t8mènt of Financial Activrti&$ once th& charity has entrtlemenl to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the ilemlsl of income have been met. st is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. Income from government and other grants, whether 'capit81' grants or 'revenue' grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds. any performance conditions attached lo the grants have been met, il is probable Ihal the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred. Membership income is recognised when invoices for membership fees are invoiced to the members. For 8￿811ng membeis this would be the 1 April. and for new members this would be the date of application. Training income is recognised when the Charity has entitlement to it which would generally be when the training course has been perfomied. Donations are recognised when the Charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the charity 1$ entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not re¢ognised until either those ¢ondrtions are fully met, or the fulfilmenl of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and il is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period. Interest on fvnds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount ¢an be measured reliably by the charity.. this is nom)ally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank. Expenditure Liabilrties are rewgnisgd as exp8ndilure as soon as Ihgre 1$ a legal or con$tru¢live obligation committing the charity to that expenditure. it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligalion can be rneasured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has boen classrfied under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Intangible assets Intsngible assets are initially measured al cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impaimenl losses. Website costs are being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of 4 years. Compvter sofvare is being amortised eventy over its estimated useful life of 5 years. Tangible flxed assets Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its ests'mated useful lrfe. Computer equipment 339h on cost Cost comprises the purchase price of the asset and expendrture directly attributable lo the acquisition of the item. Page 16 ¢ontinued...

TAI PAWB NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continu•d FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 ACCOUNTING POLICIES - ¢ontinugd Tangible r￿ed assfrts A fixed asset is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economie benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an assel is determined a$ the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged lo the income statement. Impaimi•nt of fixed assets The charity performs impaiment testing where there are any indi¢alor$ of impaimient. Impairment is ¢al¢ulated as the difference between the carrying value and the recoverable value of the asset. Recoverable value is Ihe higher of net realisable value and estimated value in use at the dale the impairment loss is re¢ognised. Value in use represents the present valLte of expected future discounted ca$h flows. If incurred, impairm8nl 1$ recognised immediately in the income statement. Where an impaimient loss subsequently reverses, the carrying value of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of the recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying value does not exceed the carrying value that would have been delemiined if no impairment loss had been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately as a credit to the income slatement. Corporatlon taxation The charity is exempl from corporation tax on its charrtable activities. Debto Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. Cagh at bank and in hond Cash al bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments wilh a short maturity of three months or le$$ from the date of a￿vISItion o¥ opening of the deposit or similar account. Creditors and provisions Creditors and provisions are recognised where the Charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds lo a third paty and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provision$ are nomally recognised al their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. Fund accounting Unrestricted funds ¢an be used in accordance with Ihe charitable objedive$ at the dis¢retion of the Iru$tee$. Designated funds are unrestricted funds eamarked by the trustees.for particular purposes falling in future time periods. Reslri¢ted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Reslriclions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. Further explanation of Ihe nature and purpose of ea¢h fund is included in the notes lo the financial statements. Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits The charity has obligations to pay pension benefits to certain employee5. The pension accounting di$clo$ure for this scheme has changed from a Present Value Approach to 8 Defined Benefit Approach in this financial year. This 1$ due to sufficient infomation now available for an employer in SHPS to account for its obligation on a Defined Benefit basis li.e. slating assets and obligations}. For defined b8nefil schemes the amounts charged lo the Statement of Financial Activities are the current service costs and gains and losses on settlements and curtailments. They ar8 included as part of staff costs. Past service cosls are recognised immediately in the Statement of Financial Activities if the benefits have vested. If the benefits have not vested irnmedialely, the costs are recognised over the period until vesting occurs. The interest cost and expected return on assets are shown as a net amount of other finance costs or credrts adja¢ent lo interest. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised immediately in the Ststement of Financial Activities. Page 17 continued...

TAI PAWB NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS . contlnued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued PensioTr costs and other po8t-retirement benefits Defined benefit schemes are funded, with the assets of the scheme held separately from those of the charity, in separate Ifustee administered funds. Pension scheme assets are measured at fair value and liabilities ale measured on an actuarial basis using the projected unit method and discounted at a rate equivalent to the current rate of return on a high quality corporate bond of equivalent Currency and temi to the scheme liabilitie5. The actuarial valuations are obtained at least triennially and are updated at each balance sheet date. The resulting defined benefit asset or liability, net of the related deferred tax, is presented Separately after olh8r net assets on the face of the balance sheet. Operating leases Rental$ paid under operating leases are Charged to the SOFA on a $lraight line basis over the period of the lease. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY The preparation of the financial $tatements requires management to mak& judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policie$ and Teported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed lo be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which fomi the basis of making the judgmfjnts about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not ￿ adily appa￿nt from other sour¢e$. Actual result5 in the future may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underfying assumptions are reviewed on an on90ing basis. Revisions lo accounting estimates a recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected. Pension scheme assets are measured at fair value and liabilities are measured on an actuarial basis using the projected unil method and discounted at a rale equivalent to the current rate of retuin on a high quality corporate bond of equivalenl currency and term to the scheme liabilities. The actuarial valuations are obtained at least triennially and are updated al each balance sheet date. The resulting defined benefit asset or liability. net of the related deferred tax, is presented separatety after other net assets on the face of the balance sheel. E$timalion Uncertainty The charity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. Management consider their to be no estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjuslmenl to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

The contents of this report relate only to those matters which came to our attention during the conduct of our normal audit procedures which are designed primarily for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and giving a value for money conclusion. Our audit is not designed to test all internal controls or identify all areas of control weakness. The terms and conditions, under which our audit will be performed, including our roles and responsibilities and auditors, are set out in our letters of engagement. These have been issued separately.

However, where, as part of our testing, we identify any control weaknesses, we will report these to you. In consequence, our work cannot be relied upon to disclose defalcations or other irregularities, or to include all possible improvements in internal control that a more extensive special examination might identify. We do not accept any responsibility for any loss occasioned to any third party acting, or refraining from acting on the basis of the content of this report, as this report was not prepared for, nor intended for, any other purpose.

Executive Summary

This report highlights the key issues affecting the results of the Charity and the preparation of the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024. It is also used to report our audit findings to management and those charged with governance in accordance with the requirements of International Standard on Auditing (UK) 260.

We are required to report whether, in our opinion, the Charity’s financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Charity and its income and expenditure for the year and whether they have been properly prepared in accordance with FRS 102.

Status of our audit
We have completed the majority of our audit work. The main items outstanding are:
Agreeing designated and restricted fund balances
Final review of post balance sheet events with the board
Audit opinion
On the completion of the items outstanding, we expect to issue an unmodified opinion.
Materiality
Final materiality has been set at £17,200, using a benchmark of 3% of turnover and taking into consideration total gross assets and other factors such as surplus
for the year. A level of £860 has been set as our clearly trivial level.
Audit risks & other
areas of focus
We have no significant items to highlight regarding significant audit risks and other areas of audit focus.
Accounting estimate
and judgements
We have highlighted two key estimates and judgements. We have no issues to report in this area and considered the process of estimation to be appropriate and
key assumptions to be well balanced for these items.
Internal controls Our audit is not designed to test all internal controls or identify all areas of control weakness. However, where, as part of our testing, we identified any control
weaknesses, we report these.
Our work has not identified any control weaknesses this year.

Executive Summary

Other matters
Nothing else to report.
Independence We are not aware of any relationships between Bevan Buckland LLP and the Charity that in our professional judgement, may reasonably be thought to bear on our
integrity, independence and objectivity in performing our duties as auditors.

Executive Summary

Audit approach

The auditing findings report presents the observations arising from the audit that are significant to the responsibility of those charged with governance to oversee the financial reporting process, as required by International Standard on Auditing (UK) 260.

As auditor we are responsible for performing the audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK), which is directed towards forming and expressing an opinion on the financial statements that have been prepared by management with the oversight of those charged with governance. The audit of the financial statements does not relieve management or those charged with governance their responsibilities for the preparation of the financial statements.

Materiality

In performing our audit, we apply the concept of materiality, following the requirements of International Standard on Auditing (UK) (ISA) 320: Materiality in planning and performing an audit. The standard states that 'misstatements, including omissions, are considered to be material if they, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.

We determined overall materiality to be £15,500. We have considered whether this level remained appropriate during the course of the audit and have increased the overall materiality.

We also set an amount below which misstatements would be clearly trivial and would not need to be accumulated or reported to those charged with governance because we would not expect that the accumulated effect of such amounts would have a material impact on the financial statements. We have defined the amount below which misstatements would be clearly trivial to be £860.

Areas of significant risk

We raised a number of significant risks in our audit plan where we detailed work we would be carrying out as part of our audit procedures. We performed procedures during the audit to address each of these risks and ensure the financial statements are free from a material misstatement.

There is a presumption that revenue recognition is a

High
We examined and tested the process through which management has identified and quantified income. We also
performed substantive testing on a sample of transactions.
No issues were found in this area. Based on the work undertaken we are satisfied that revenue recognition is not
materially misstated.
Management Override of Controls
Management override of controls should be considered
a risk on every engagement (ISA (UK&I) 240.74)
High
During the course of our audit we have undertaken the following procedures:
Considered indication of management bias in accounting estimates and their overall appropriateness; and
Reviewing journal entries and other adjustments made at the end of the accounting period.
There are no issues we wish to bring to your attention arising from the procedures undertaken.
Going Concern – Pension deficit Medium During the course of the audit we have undertaken the following procedures:
Reviewed budgets to ensure pension payments cab be made without a significant impact on reserves;
Reviewed correspondence with SHPS to confirm the liability is not required to be paid in full; and
Compared the assumptions used in calculating the liability with similar pension schemes to confirm it was
calculated correctly.
There are no issues we wish to bring to your attention arising from the procedures undertaken.

Accounting estimates and judgements

Accounting estimates vary widely in nature and are required to be made by management when the monetary amounts cannot be directly observed. The measurement of these monetary amounts is subject to estimation uncertainty, which reflects inherent limitations in knowledge or data. The process of making accounting estimates involves selecting and applying a method using assumptions and data, which requires judgement by management and can give rise to complexity in measurement. We have outlined below a summary and how we assess the key accounting judgements applied by management.

Assessment

Key Estimate Assessment Summary of policy
Economic life of assets (depreciation)
Provision and accruals
~~a~~		 @ The estimations of the useful economic life of the charity’s assets and are based on industry standards adjusted to reflect
your own experience. We have no issues surrounding the basis of the estimate and disclosure.
Management bases its judgements on the circumstances relating to each specific event and upon currently available
information. Accruals have been prepared from invoices after the year end and purchase orders not fulfilled at year end.

As part of the requirements of ISA (UK) 540 we will require written representations whether the methods, significant assumptions and the data used in making the accounting estimates and the related party disclosures are appropriate to achieve recognition, measurement or disclosure that is in accordance with applicable reporting framework and as such has been included on the draft letter of representation provided.

Internal Controls

The purpose of an audit is to express an opinion on the financial statements. The matters reported here are limited to those deficiencies we have identified during the course of the audit and that we have concluded are of sufficient importance to merit being reported to you.

Our audit included consideration of internal controls relevant to the preparation of the financial statements 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 internal control. We considered and walked through the internal controls for year ended 31 March 2024.

The following control issues were identified during the audit. These control issues are categorised according to the level of risk attached:

Adjustments from the draft trial balance

We are required to report all items above our trivial threshold to those charged with governance, whether or not the financial statements have been adjusted by management.

Appendix 1 – Auditor independence and objectivity

Bevan Buckland LLP is required to maintain independence from Tai Pawb in line with the Ethical Standard (2019) issued by the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) and the ethical pronouncements established by the auditor's relevant professional body, in our case the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England & Wales. In addition, our reputation and continued success as a firm depends on us maintaining auditor independence. We have procedures in place to ensure that any conflicts of interest of which we are aware are communicated to directors and appropriate action taken. This includes all relationships between Bevan Buckland LLP and Tai Pawb that, in our professional judgement, may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence and objectivity of the audit engagement partner and the audit staff.

However, there may be factors known by the board of which we are not aware. Our letter of engagement requires the board to notify us if it becomes aware that any person becomes connected with Bevan Buckland LLP and we will be asking the board to give us written representations that there are no such matters at the conclusion of the audit.

The following other services are provided by Bevan Buckland LLP and the relevant safeguard applied is:

•Any adjustments are approved by management for processing and are included within our audit findings report which is presented to the Board prior to finalisation and approval of the financial statements.

Preparation of the financial statements from the draft trial balance

Payroll Services

Maintaining and assessing our independence is a continual process throughout the audit cycle. However, we will formally confirm our independence and any significant matters we have considered in assessing any threats to our independence and objectivity in our Report to the board.

We have made enquires of all Bevan Buckland LLP teams providing services to you for compliance matters to ensure our independence is maintained.

In our judgement we have complied with the UK regulatory and professional requirements including the Ethical Standard (2019) issued by the FRC. We are not aware of any relationships between Bevan Buckland LLP and the companuy, that in our professional judgement, may reasonably be thought to bear on our integrity, independence and objectivity at the date of the audit plan. As a result we are able to express an objective opinion on the financial statements.

Safeguards

As part of the firms safeguards, all audits are subject to a review by a second partner or independent reviewing officer. The review undertook all high risk areas, significant judgements, financial statements, audit plan and audit findings reports.
