Exeter City Community Trust Company Limited by Guarantse Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Exeter City Community Trust (Conllnued) Year ended 31 January 2025 Audltor's rèsponsibiliti•s for th6 audit of the financlal statements 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 an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, bLrt is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will aayS detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material rf, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economi¢ decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detsiled below.. Key audit matt•rs: our assessment of risks of material mlsstatement Key audit matters are those matters that in our professional judgement were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements and include the most significant assessed risks of material misstatement (whether or not due to fraud) identified by us, including those which had the greatest effect on the allocation of resources in the audit. and directing the efforts of the engagement team. There are no key areas identified as the audit is very low risk with normal audit procedures adequate in all audit areas. We agreed to report to the board of trustees any Corrected or unc0ected identifd misstatements. Identifying and reporting of risks of material misstatement due to fraud To identify risks of material misstatement due to fraud 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 the Chief Executive Officer and the trustees and inspection of key papers provided to those charged wf(h governance as to high level policres and procedures to prevent and detect fraud. Reviewing the minutes of Trustees, meetings. 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, and taking into account possible pressures to meet targets and our overall knowledge of the control environment, performed procedures to assess the risks of management override of controls. To address the pervasive risk as it related to management override of controls, we reviewed material journal entries and agr8ed these to supporting documentation where appropriate. Idenlifying and responding to risks of material misstatement due to non-compllance 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 experien and through discussion with the general manager and trustees. As the charity is regulated, our assessment of risks involved gaining an understanding of the control environment including the entity's procedures for complying with regulatory requirements. 17
Exeter City Community Trust Company Limited by Guarantee Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Exetsr City Community Trust <tinUd) Year ended 31 January 2025 We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our team and remained alert t¢ any indications of non-complian throughout the audit. The potential effect of these laws and regulations on the financial statements varies considerably.. firstly, the charity is subject to laws and regulations that directly affect the financial statements including financial reporting regulation (including related companies regulation>, taxation legislation (payroll taxes) and pension legislation and we assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our procedures in the audit areas relevant to these items. secondly, the charity is subject to many other laws and regulations where the consequence of non-compliance could have a material effect on amounts or discbsures in the financial statements, for instance through the imposition of fines or litigatton. We identrfied the following areas as those most likety to have such an effect.. Health and safety laws. Food and hygiene regulations. Laws relating to working with, and the safeguarding of, young people and vulnerable adulis. Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identfy non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of management and trustees and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Therefore. if any breach of operational regulations is not disclosed to us or evident from relevant correspondence, an audit will not detect that breach. Limitations to the abillty of the audit to d•t•ct fraud or breaches of laws and regulatlon Owing to the inherent limitation 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 perfomied our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance 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 this may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. Our audit procedures are designed to detect material misstatement, and therefore we are not responsible for preventing non-compliance or fraud and cannot be expected to detect non<omplian¢e with all laws and re9ulations. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the FRC'S website at www.frc.org.ukJauditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditorfs report. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAS (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also- Identfy and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud 15 higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentstions, or the override of internal control. 18

Plant and machinery Computer equipment Motor vehicles Equipment 250/0 Straight line 25OA straight line 250/0 Straight line 20133 /0 Straight line Flnancial instruments A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transactlon, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted. Financial assets that are m8asured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impaimient. an impaimient loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised. Any reversals of impaimient 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 would have been had the impaimient not previously been recognised.
