## **Independent auditor's report to the trustees and members of The Heart Research Institute (UK) Limited** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of The Heart Research Institute (UK) Limited (“the charitable company”) for the year ended 31 December 2020 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet, Statement of Cashflows and related notes, including the accounting policies in note 1. 

In our opinion the financial statements: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the Charitable Company’s affairs as at 31 December 2020 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 UK accounting standards, including FRS 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, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, and regulation 8 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). 

## **Basis for opinion** 

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. 

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (“ISAs (UK)”) and applicable law.  Our responsibilities are described below.  We have fulfilled our ethical responsibilities under, and are independent of the charitable company in accordance with, UK ethical requirements including the FRC Ethical Standard.  We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is a sufficient and appropriate basis for our opinion. 

## **Going concern** 

The trustees have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis as they do not intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease its operations, and as they have concluded that the charitable company’s financial position means that this is realistic. They have also concluded that there are no material uncertainties that could have cast significant doubt over its ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements (“the going concern period”). 

In our evaluation of the trustees’ conclusions, we considered the inherent risks to the charitable company’s business model and analysed how those risks might affect the charitable company’s financial resources or ability to continue operations over the going concern period. 

Our conclusions based on this work: 

- we consider that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate; 

- we have not identified, and concur with the trustees’ assessment that there is not, a material uncertainty related 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 the going concern period. 

However, as we cannot predict all future events or conditions and as subsequent events may result in outcomes that are inconsistent with judgements that were reasonable at the time they were made, the above conclusions are not a guarantee that the charitable company will continue in operation.

**Independent auditor's report to the trustees and members of The Heart Research Institute (UK) Limited (continued)** 

## **Fraud and breaches of laws and regulations – ability to detect** 

## _Identifying and responding to risks of material misstatement due to fraud_ 

To identify risks of material misstatement due to fraud (“fraud risks”) we assessed events or conditions that could indicate an incentive or pressure to commit fraud or provide an opportunity to commit fraud. Our risk assessment procedures included: 

- Enquiring of trustees as to the Charitable Company’s high-level policies and procedures to prevent and detect fraud as well as whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud. 

- Reading Board minutes. 

We communicated identified fraud risks throughout the audit team and remained alert to any indications of fraud throughout the audit. 

As required by auditing standards, we perform procedures to address the risk of management override of controls, in particular the risk that management may be in a position to make inappropriate accounting entries. On this audit we do not believe there is a fraud risk related to revenue recognition because of the limited opportunity and incentive for fraudulent revenue recognition and the limited judgement in respect of revenue recognition. 

We did not identify any additional fraud risks. 

In determining the audit procedures we took into account the results of our evaluation and testing of the operating effectiveness of some of the charitable company-wide fraud risk management controls. 

- We also performed procedures including: 

   - Identifying journal entries and other adjustments to test based on risk criteria and comparing the identified entries to supporting documentation. These included those posted to unusual accounts. 

_Identifying and responding to risks of material misstatement due to non-compliance with laws and regulations_ 

We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our general commercial and sector experience, through discussion with the directors  (as required by auditing standards), and from inspection of the charitable company’s regulatory and legal correspondence and discussed with the directors the policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations. 

We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. 

The potential effect of these laws and regulations on the financial statements varies considerably. 

Firstly, the Charitable Company is subject to laws and regulations that directly affect the financial statements including financial reporting legislation (including related charities and companies legislation) and taxation  legislation and we assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items. 

9 



## **Independent auditor's report to the trustees and members of The Heart Research Institute (UK) Limited (continued)** 

## **Fraud and breaches of laws and regulations – ability to detect (continued)** 

_Identifying and responding to risks of material misstatement due to non-compliance with laws and regulations (continued)_ 

Secondly, the Charitable Company is subject to many other laws and regulations where the consequences of non-compliance could have a material effect on amounts or disclosures in the financial statements, for instance through the imposition of fines or litigation.  We identified the following areas as those most likely to have such an effect: certain aspects of charities, data protection and gambling regulations recognising the nature of the Charitable Company’s activities.  Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Therefore if a breach of operational regulations is not disclosed to us or evident from relevant correspondence, an audit will not detect that breach. 

_Context of the ability of the audit to detect fraud or breaches of law or regulation_ 

Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed noncompliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. 

In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of fraud, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. Our audit procedures are designed to detect material misstatement. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance or fraud and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations. 

## **Other information** 

The trustees are responsible for the other information, which comprises the Trustees' Annual Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion or, except as explicitly stated below, any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether, based on our financial statements audit work, the information therein is materially misstated or inconsistent with the financial statements or our audit knowledge. Based solely on that work: 

- we have not identified material misstatements in the other information; 

- in our opinion the information given in the Trustees' Annual Report, which constitutes the strategic report and directors’ report for the financial year, is consistent with the financial statements; and 

- in our opinion that report has been prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006. 

10 



## **Independent auditor's report to the trustees and members of The Heart Research Institute (UK) Limited (continued)** 

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

Under the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) we are required to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- the charitable company has not kept adequate and proper accounting records 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 returns; or 

- certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. 

We have nothing to report in these respects. 

## **Trustees’ responsibilities** 

As explained more fully in their statement set out on page 7, 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; such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; 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 they either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

## **Auditor’s responsibilities** 

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 our opinion in an auditor’s report.  Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but does not 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 aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements. 

A fuller description of our responsibilities is provided on the FRC’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities.

## **Independent auditor's report to the trustees and members of The Heart Research Institute (UK) Limited (continued)** 

## **The purpose of our audit work and to whom we owe our responsibilities** 

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 section 44 (1)(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and 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 the charitable company's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's 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, its members, as a body, and its trustees, as a body, for our audit work, for this report or for the opinions we have formed.

## **Statement of Trustees' responsibilities in respect of the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements** 

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. 

Company and charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law they are required to prepare the financial statements in accordance with UK Accounting Standards and applicable law (UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 _The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland_ . 

Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the income and expenditure for that period.  In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards and the Statement of Recommended Practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- assess the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern; and 

- use the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate and proper accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, and regulation 8 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended).  They are responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the charitable company and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities. 

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website.  Legislation in the UK governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
