Management override of controls
Revenue recognition
Accounting estimates

We have substantially completed our audit in respect of the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022. At the time of preparing this report, the following significant matters remain outstanding:

Lease for Leicester

Debtors decrease due to VAT debtor included in 2021. Trade debtors have approximately halved on prior year and prepayments have also decreased by £20k largely due to timing of items such as car insurance.

Notable increase in cash balance due to loans.

Reduction in other creditors primarily due to DfT clawback of £224k in 2021.

Accruals increase driven by holiday pay provision (up £22k) and outstanding invoice for Honda Jazz purchase of £4.5k.

Additional bank loan of £250k taken out at CAF bank. Bounceback loan paid back in full in the prior year. Other creditors of £400 in relation to Bugzi deposits.

Staff costs make up the most significant portion of expenditure. 2022 costs have increased 14% on the prior year.
Vehicle costs have doubled since 2021, primarily driven by fuel increases of £20k throughout the year. Related costs are also in relation to staff travel and we can see these costs increasing following the lifting of pandemic restrictions.
Support costs have increased on prior year mostly due to the following factors:
Repairs and renewals up £29k due to the ventilation system upgrade (see journals)
IT equipment increased £6k due to new DMis licenses.
Rates up £20k. Aggregate effects of a reduction in service charges at Patrick Farm Barns and general increases at all other premises.
Postage, phone and stationery increased £8k.

A review of the nominal ledger transactions by type and day of week have identified the above. There are a notable number of transactions which appear to be posted on weekends. These are in relation to a variety of different transactions as throughout the year.

3 - Significant Findings

Set out below are the significant findings from our audit. These findings include:

Our audit conclusions regarding the significant risks and key areas of management judgement outlined in the Audit Strategy Memorandum
Our comments in respect of the accounting policies and disclosures that you have adopted in the financial statements. On page 12, we have concluded whether the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the financial reporting framework and commented on any significant accounting policy changes that have been made during the year
Any significant difficulties we experienced during the audit
Any modifications required to our audit report.

Significant risks and key areas of management judgement

Revenue recognition

Description of the risk

There is a risk of fraud in the financial reporting relating to revenue recognition due to the potential to inappropriately record revenue in the wrong period or revenue not being recorded. Due to there being a risk of fraud in revenue recognition we consider it to be a significant risk on all audits.

How we addressed this risk

We have addressed this risk through performing audit work over:

Revenue cut–off testing in relation to income received around the year end;
Revenue transactional testing;
Analytical review against prior year;
Reviewing correspondence and source documentation; and
Performing procedures to identify and cash received after date.

Audit conclusion

Based on the results on our audit procedures we are satisfied that there is no indication of any obvious understatement of revenue or any material cut-off errors in respect of revenue recognition.

Management override

Description of the risk

In all entities, management at various levels within an organisation are in a unique position to perpetrate fraud because of their ability to manipulate accounting records and prepare fraudulent financial statements by overriding controls that otherwise appear to be operating effectively. Due to the unpredictable way in which such override could occur, we consider there to be a risk of material misstatement due to fraud and thus a significant risk on all audits.

How we addressed this risk

We have addressed this risk through performing audit work over:

Accounting estimates impacting amounts included in the financial statements;
Consideration of identified significant transactions outside the normal course of business; and
Journals recorded in the general ledger and other adjustments made in preparation of the financial statements.

Audit conclusion

Based on the audit procedures undertaken and the sample transactions tested that there is no indication of inappropriate management override of controls.

Accounting estimates

Description of the risk

Management make a number of accounting estimates as part of the process of preparing financial reporting. By their nature there is an element of subjectivity that requires management to exercise their judgement in developing estimation models. Areas where such judgements will be exercised include:

Depreciation policy and rates applied
Bad debt provisioning
Asset impairments reviews
Contingency provisioning
Allocation of expenditure to restricted funds

How we addressed this risk

We assessed how management identifies those transactions, events and conditions that may give rise to the need for accounting estimates, and how management makes the accounting estimates.
We reviewed the outcome of accounting estimates included in prior year financial statements or, where applicable, their subsequent re-estimation for the purpose of the current year.
We evaluated estimation uncertainty and determined whether estimates with high levels of uncertainty give rise to significant risks.

Audit conclusion

Based on the results of our audit procedures, we are satisfied that there is no indication of an obvious material error based on significant accounting estimates.

Accounting policies and disclosures

We have reviewed accounting policies and disclosures and concluded they comply with relevant financial reporting framework UK GAAP (FRS 102) we are satisfied that the level of disclosure is commensurate with the size and complexity of the charity.

Other matters discussed with management

1. Physical verification of assets

We encountered issues physically verifying a sample of assets, particularly IT equipment e.g. a Lenovo laptop from the fixed asset register as part of our review. We are aware from discussions with the client that improvements are being introduced post year end in order to capture staff currently using laptops/IT equipment by way of asset numbers/a booking system.

2. Potential to capitalise ventilation system upgrade

An upgrade to the ventilation system was identified (~£29k incl. VAT) which could be classed as a capital item. Discussions with S Barratt explained that the ventilation system for the building works was faulty and so an upgraded system was fitted. It is our understanding that the installation of this new system was more than simply repairs.

As part of this, review of the fixed asset register identified an asset under fixtures and fittings, dated 03/07/2018 with the description ‘Ventilation RDAC Workshop’ with a NBV of £1,603. Point has also been noted to confirm whether this is related to the old ventilation system that was replaced and if appropriate consider disposal.

3. Retention creditor

There is a retention creditor of £27,927 in respect of the Mossvale contract included within the accounts under other trade creditors. In connection with the ventilation system upgrade noted above, we understand per discussions with S Barratt that the builder who originally installed the system as part of the construction of the premises went into liquidation. Point noted to discuss the appropriateness of this creditor.

4. Potential dispute re: dilapidations - Alldos UK Ltd

The trade creditors review highlighted an old balance with Alldos UK Ltd for an amount of £2,747. Per discussions with Debbie there appears to be a dispute regarding this balance. RDAC hired rooms from Alldos UK Ltd when moving buildings. RDAC were there for over a year and left in March 2020. In June 2021 Alldos UK Ltd sent an invoice to RDAC requesting payment for dilapidations which RDAC strongly disagree with. A letter was sent out to Alldos UK Ltd regarding this invoice, but RDAC have had no reply to date.

5. Supplier statement – Driving Mobility

Our supplier statement testing returned a sample of one supplier to test. Driving Mobility was selected as it has the highest value of invoices in the year (£41,143). This supplier statement was not available therefore the year end balance of £4,585 could not be verified.

6. Trade creditors balance - Press Telecom

RDAC has received phone services from Press Telecom but has not yet paid for these. Per discussions with D Barnett, there are delays in paying this balance as they sent a request for change of bank details however RDAC has been unable to contact them to confirm. They are holding off on paying the outstanding balance (~£650 at the year end/~£900 to date) until they can make contact.

7. Undeposited funds

There is £1,200 noted as undeposited funds included under bank and cash at the year end – similar funds were noted in the prior year. On investigation, this balance appears to relate to cheques received from DVLA: There were £2,370 cheques noted as received post year end in respect of DVLA trade debtor balances at the year end. These were banked post year end. The trade debtors balance in the accounts comprises of £1,170, with the remaining £1,200 being included under undeposited cheques. Per discussions with D Barnett, the client is unaware why only £1,200 is included here (as an entry created by QuickBooks) in respect of cheques uncleared. Support and training is available in relation to QuickBooks from Ormerod Rutter.

8. Going concern review

As trustees you are responsible for ensuring that the charity can continue to trade for at least 12 months from the date that the financial statements are approved. At present, forecasts are only prepared for 12 months from the year end date.

Whilst we appreciate that results have been good in recent years, we are mindful of the increased financing and therefore the cash to be generated to service this debt and would recommend that the trustees extend the period over which they prepare cashflow forecasts to be 2 years to ensure that at least 12 months after the date of approval of the financial statements is covered.

Consider the possibility of a commitment to future funding from the DfT?

9. Restricted funds

As in the previous years there were restricted funds to be used for a variety of projects. The DFT Project, the Manchester grant and the Leicester grant were all accounted for in previous years and where the money was used to purchase fixed assets, the fund balance is currently equal to the net book value of those assets and the only expenditure deducted from those funds each year is the depreciation charge for the year.

Of the income received in this year, were there any restrictions placed on how the money could be spent and therefore are there any new restricted funds to be reflected in the accounts?

10. Furlough scheme

The guidance states that organisations which have staff costs which are publicly funded should not furlough their staff and should instead use the funding to continue to pay their staff. We understand from activities during the year that this was factored into the clawback figure of ~£224k taken off the Q4 2022 grant income. Furlough income was claimed to March 2021 however, the income relating to March 2021 (£42,123) was received in April and has been included in 2022 accounts.

11. Motor vehicles

We understand from review of fixed assets that the majority of cars are owned by Driving Mobility but used by RDAC. When cars are bought, DM buys them on RDAC’s behalf as they can usually get these cheaper. RDAC then pays DM for the vehicle when DM invoices them. No invoice has yet been received from DM for the Honda Jazz. An accrual of £4.5k is included within the accounts. D Barnett confirmed that there are only 8 cars owned by RDAC itself, being the following:

VW Caddy Maxi – YX60 XYE
VW Caddy – BF63 CDU
Ford C Max – FD66 CBY
Ford Fiesta – EY16 FLF
Skoda Fabia – GD68 GXH
Ford – LN68 UNX
VW Caddy – DX16 VGM
Honda Jazz – RE17 VPY (Not in QuickBooks)

The audit trail surrounding the purchasing and disposals of vehicles is not currently always easy to trace and there is often uncertainty as to the ownership of vehicles given to RDAC by Driving Mobility. We would recommend that the fixed asset register is reviewed at least quarterly to ensure that any transfer of vehicles between RDAC and Driving Mobility is reflected in the financial statements.

12. Old balances on the sales ledger

Sales ledger balances total £67k, of which £32k (47%) are noted to be old. Of the £32k old balances, £27k is owed by DVLA. We understand from our discussions with management that this is not unusual for DVLA to have large amounts outstanding at the year end and we have vouched ~£31k to post year end receipts. We would recommend that debts are chased more frequently.

13. Driving lessons – charitable or trading actvity

We have noted that a new income stream has commenced in the year – driving lessons. This was originally mapped to donations in the financial statements. We have since reclassified this income stream to “other trading activities”. This classification is to be discussed in line with the below:

Extracts from the SORP say that income from trading activities:

must be received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds for the charity;
and have profit-seeking motive.

Extracts from the SORP say that income from charitable activities:

earned both from the supply of goods or services under contractual arrangements and from performance-related grants;
the sale of goods and services as part of the charitable activities of the charity (also known as primary purpose trading), whether the sale is intended to make a profit or is at or below cost.

14. Prior year control points – follow up

Recognition of accrued and deferred income

Control point was noted in prior year where accrued and deferred income was not being recognised where payment is received for an invoice ahead of assessments taking place. It is our understanding in the current year that postings are made to ‘Prepaid driving lessons’ and ‘Prepaid Assessments’ codes in the general ledger which assists in capturing deferred income. No instances have been identified for 2022 where accrued income would be required as the vast majority of payments are received in advance of the assessments taking place.

No detailed review of the payroll was performed

Control point was noted in the prior year regarding authorisation of payroll. In the current year, we have identified changes to the system whereby ESOS provides a temporary payroll for review and an authorisation form which we understand is signed by S Barratt each month to authorise payment.

Petty cash differences

In the prior year we noted discrepancies between the year end cash sheets and the QuickBooks ledger. In the current year as part of our review of bills and expenditure systems, the petty cash controls were informally reviewed and relevant changes to strengthen petty cash controls have been identified. No detailed testing has been performed over petty cash due to the low value.

15. Accounts related points

Trustees report outstanding. Point noted in particular to confirm the inclusion of wording regarding the status of the VAT registration.
Key Management Personnel: Based on discussions with S Barratt, key management are considered to be Steve Dent, Clare Jones, Sean Barratt and Amy Leddington. Their cumulative salary costs have been disclosed in the financial statements accordingly as remuneration of key personnel in accordance with the requirements of the Charities SORP.
Refer to outstanding information points below:

16. Outstanding information

Copy of the Leicester lease. Relevant disclosures per accounts TBC.
Loan agreement for CAF bank second loan of £250k. Annual statement verified to confirm balance, but no details of repayment terms/a repayment schedule and the covenants seen as part of formal loan documentation. Relevant disclosures per accounts TBC.

17. VAT position and impact on accounts

VAT registration was completed in the prior year resulting in a large refund following historical claims. This amount has been set aside as a contingency. A HMRC inspection has been welcomed by RDAC to obtain guidance over the VAT treatment. HMRC have not responded to these invitations.

Amounts included in the Co-Op 14 Days Accounts of £685,387 relate to VAT refunds set aside.

The decision was taken to claim 80% of input VAT from 01/01/2022. HMRC have been notified of this change.

These financial statements include a VAT provision of £335,872 within other creditors. Consider releasing this liability or awaiting further HMRC correspondence before making final adjustment. To be discussed in clearance meeting.

Significant difficulties during the audit

During the course of the audit we did not encounter any significant difficulties and we have had the full co-operation of management.

4 - Internal control recommendations

The purpose of our audit was to express an opinion on the financial statements. As part of our audit, we have considered the internal controls in place relevant to the preparation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures to allow us to express an opinion on the financial statements but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control or to identify any significant deficiencies in their design or operation.

The matters reported are limited to those deficiencies and other control recommendations that we have identified during our normal audit procedures and that we consider to be of sufficient importance to merit being reported. If we had performed more extensive procedures on internal control, we might have identified more deficiencies to be reported or concluded that some of the reported deficiencies need not in fact have been reported. Our comments should not be regarded as a comprehensive record of all deficiencies that may exist or improvements that could be made.

Our findings and recommendations are set out below. We have assigned priority rankings to each of them to reflect the importance that we consider each poses to your organisation and, hence, our recommendation in terms of the urgency of required action. In summary, the matters arising fall into the following categories:

Priority ranking	Description	Number of issues
1 (high)	In our view, there is potential for financial loss, damage to reputation or loss of information. This may have implications for the achievement of business strategic objectives. The recommendation should be taken into consideration by management immediately.	-
2 (medium)	In our view, there is a need to strengthen internal control or enhance business efficiency. The recommendations should be actioned in the near future.	4
3 (low)	In our view, internal control should be strengthened in these additional areas when practicable.	-

Significant deficiencies in internal control – Level 2

Deletion of transactions
Description of deficiency
We have identified by way of the audit trail report from QuickBooks online software instances of
transactions being deleted e.g:
- Deleted invoice
- Deleted expense
- Deleted sales receipt paid for by PayPal internet
- Deleted supplier credit
- Deleted payment to DVLA
- Deleted bill payment
Specific queries were investigated where assessments are paid for via PayPal/cash. Upon enquiry with
the client, we understand that payments are very rarely received in cash.
Explanations for the deletions of such transactions are as follows;
- Duplicate transactions where correction has been processed via deletion,
- Old transactions from pre-2020, and
- Such transactions should never have existed in the first instance.
Within the same report there is evidence of voided transactions rather than deletions, particularly in the
later part of the year through to post year end. This is deemed to provide a better audit trail and helps to
ensure the proper record of transactions.
Response from D Barnett regarding transaction 201574:
“I have looked through the deleted transactions. Most look like they have been duplicated. With
receipts they can come via email and then also in person a few weeks later. However, on the 24th Feb
expense number 1822 was changed as the 60.49 did not include vat. 1822 is on QB and in the deleted
list. Not quite sure why in future I will void and put a reason.
The invoices which are down as cash would not be cash for assessments and as I said the only cash
we had was for car seat assessments which we stopped charging for in about May 2021.”
Potential effects
Deletion of transactions poses a greater risk of transactions being recorded incorrectly throughout the
year. Ultimately, the year end position reflected within the accounting software may be inaccurate where
particularly income, expenses and cash transactions may be misstated.
Recommendation
Use of dummy postings and credit notes would strengthen the audit trail, and where strictly necessary,
voiding transactions rather than deletion. Point noted to discuss recommendations.
Management response

Regular management accounts are not produced

Description of deficiency

Formal management accounts are currently not produced on a regular basis by RDAC.

Potential effects

The lack of management accounts will make it difficult to track and measure the performance of RDAC against the budget at the start of the year, and where necessary to make any improvements.

Recommendation

Management accounts should be produced on a monthly basis.

Management response

Bank reconciliations not reviewed

Description of deficiency

Review of bank reconciliations identified reconciling items outstanding at the year end. A number of these items could not be confirmed to post year end payment. On investigation, these transactions were noted to have been duplicated (refer to control point above).

In connection with this, there has been no evidence identified that bank reconciliations are formally reviewed by a responsible person. We are aware that D Barnett now utilises separate workings spreadsheets at the end of each month to perform the reconciliations and that bank statements are now annotated with the relevant details. However, various misallocations on the system and various duplicated/deleted payments do not appear to be being captured.

Potential effects

The absence of formally reviewed bank reconciliations being performed regularly increases the risk of a mis-posting not being recognised thereby risking the management accounts on which decisions are based being unreliable.

Recommendation

Control accounts, including bank accounts, should be reconciled and reviewed at least monthly and all differences investigated and resolved.

Management response

HR information not always kept up to date or available for review

Description of deficiency

HR information (contracts, IDs and pay notifications) were not always kept up to date or available for review. Of the sample requested we were unable to obtain the following:

Victoria Kemp – relevant pay increase letter – we selected August 2021 to review; Victoria’s annualised salary was £18,243 but was £17,661 per the available salary increase letter dated April 2020. It is believed there was another increase in November 2020 which was not documented.
ID was not provided for Lisa Jackson (who has left the company).

Note: we are aware that IDs for leavers are not always retained on file.

Potential effects

Possible disputes with employees may be difficult to resolve as relevant HR information to support terms of employment and pay are not kept up to date or on hand to be evidenced.

Recommendation

When changes are made to the terms of employment contracts (i.e. wage increases) a formal letter of amendment should be issued to the employee and a signature should be obtained. HR information should be stored securely with a responsible person and updated as required.

Management response

5 - Summary of misstatements

We set out below the misstatements identified during the course of the audit, above the level of trivial, for adjustment.

The first table outlines the misstatements that were identified during the course of our audit which management has assessed as not being material either individually or in aggregate to the financial statements and does not currently plan to adjust.

Appendix A – Independence

As part of our ongoing risk assessment we monitor our relationships with you to identify any new actual or perceived threats to our independence within the regulatory or professional requirements governing us as your auditors.

The year-end audit involves an element of non-audit services being the preparation of the financial statements. This function involves importing your draft figures into software and working with you to then obtain the information for the supporting disclosures. The provision of such support gives rise to a self – review threat to our independence as external auditors but we have ensured that the level of review is enhanced to safeguard against this potential threat and have discussed all adjustments with management during our audit.

We are satisfied that adequate safeguards have been implemented and there is therefore no threat to our independence as auditors.
