31 Mar¢h 2022.
Total resour￿3 expended amount to £1.789.1 $2 up from £1.561.436 for 31 March 2022 This means the
results have sh(Mn a deficit of £88,497 compared to a deficit of £36,￿3 for thg previous year.
Genesig ha8 found it a d￿Ferent world post covid. Customer attendar￿e has reduced from the number of
ustomers to the nLrnber of days customers ncm require support. This has required our day centre seTvKes
lo b8 reo¥ganised to suit the needs of users.
Recruilment has become more challenging forthe whole of the sccia care sector as pay has not kept up with
retsil and so it has become mre attractive to work in other sectors. This has resulted in the number of
8pplicants for a vacancy being reduced considerabty which has an effeGton the number of Gustomers Genesis

funds an￿￿nting to £869.922, of which £142,611 were restriGled.
The Trustees considered that our conlingencies funding needed lo be restructured lo better suit the needs of
the Charity. The designated 'PriJpety fund, sd at £100,000 is now not reqLsired as the lease extension is
confimHI. 11 is suggested that an amount of £20,000 is retained in this fund to allow for the extension of a

RISK MANAGEMENT
During the year the Iruslees delegated the Manage￿ent of risks to the CEO. Thg principal risks ldentff￿d
durfng the year and the control procedures used to mitigate against those risks were..
Contr&t risk from Sufft)Ik County Council- monilor numbers of SCC customers and changes in SCC
funding regime.
Compgtition from other providers- incre88e marketing and maintaln competitiveness.

STRATEGIC GOALS
1. Focus on Care
2. Balance the Budget
3. Increase customer numbers
4. ImPr¢￿e facilities
5. Invest in staff
6. Invest in training
THE FUTURE AND GOING CONCERN
At present il is expected that the 2023124 finance5 will show an agreed def￿11 of £160,000. The deficit 18
increasing due to the need to invest in the Charity's operations and seNices. A full audit review of Genesis,
services and customers was conducted by SLT to identrfy which servi¢gs were opgraling effIC￿nIty and cost
effectively and which services needed restructuring. On completion of thi$ review the SLT develcped a fulty
costed and projected three year plan lo relum the charty to breakev8n and even a surplus. This consists of
expanding services which provide value for money and restructuring of services wh￿h fall short ofthe required
lev81. This will take time and actions lo implement so the deficit is not going to be efadi¢ated in a 12 month
period. Trustees approved the plan and have alk)cated enough unrestricted funds to mget the reducing def￿￿(
over the three year period. Once completed Genesis Orwell Mencap will be in a posf(ion to meet the
requirements of thgir customer's needs with services that are suitable for the changing dynamic of disability
services.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free

from fraud or error and are considered material rf, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be
expected lo influence the ecix)omic decisions of users tsken on the basis of these financial slalements.
Irregulanties, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design
procedures in line with our resp)nsibilrties, outlined above, to detect mlerial misstatements in respect of
Ir￿g￿larItIes, including fraud. The extent to whi¢h our pr¢￿edu￿9 a￿ ¢apable of detecting irwularilies,

Our audr( was designed to include tests of detail tcgether with an assessment of the control envlronmenl lo
enable us lo obtain reasonable a5suranGg about whother the financial ststements are free from matsrial
mis$talement due to fraud.
In planning and designing our audrt prctedures we assessed the risks of malerial misstsl&nenl due lo fraud.
Our assessment concluded that the areas of highest risk are nOn￿MplIan￿ with laws and regulations and
managomenl override of controls.
We obtsined an understandiro of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the charlty operate$ In through
discussions with management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the sector in which the
charity operates. This enabled us to identify the key laws and regulations applicable to the charity. We
focvssed on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct impact on the financial
statements including safeguarding. the Companies Act 2006, taxation legislatitin. data protection and
employment laws.
To addre88 the risk of fraud we perfomied the following audit procedure8:
Thorough review of journal entries and other adjustments for apprcpriateness and evaluating the
