Welcome to Malaria No More UK’s Trustees Report 2024
Against a backdrop of political uncertainty and constrained funding, Malaria No More UK (MNMUK) has worked to ensure malaria stays a priority globally as well as nationally in both the UK and Kenya. Through our ongoing engagement with malaria partners, targeted advocacy and creative communications tactics, we’ve seen significant results:
We have deepened our engagement with the Commonwealth, a group of nations that are pivotal in galvanising both donor and endemic countries behind the malaria fight. This has led to the Commonwealth reaffirming its commitment to ending malaria and specifically calling for the successful replenishment of the Global Fund in 2025.
The UK committing over £10 million to malaria initiatives and committing to multi-year funding to Product Development Partnerships (PDPs) – a vital instrument for malaria.
The Commonwealth reaffirming its commitment to ending malaria in its communique from the Commonwealth Health Ministers Meeting and Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM).
Partnerships have been the driving force behind all that Malaria No More UK has achieved.
We proudly announced His Majesty King Charles III’s role as MNMUK Royal Patron. The King’s commitment and leadership will undoubtedly amplify efforts to combat malaria in the Commonwealth and across the globe.
In the UK, during a General Election year and a shift to a new government, we focused our efforts on building relationships across parties and deepened our collaboration with malaria and broader civil society partners, resulting in increased investment from the UK government.
In Kenya, we worked with the National Malaria Control Programme, the Zero Malaria Campaign Coalition, media partners, young people and local leadership to launch the Power of EveryONE to build awareness and knowledge and shift attitudes and behaviours. So far, the campaign has reached 34 million people, with many of those reached committing to take action to end malaria.
In September, we celebrated the launch of a powerful new partnership with the African Leaders Malaria Alliance (ALMA). ALMA is instrumental in driving action and holding governments accountable, while MNMUK brings expertise in creative communications campaigns and targeted advocacy. Through a strengthened partnership, our joint engagements have centred on amplifying the voices of affected communities and strengthening the connection between African leaders and the global community of donors to the malaria fight.
The MNMUK team collaborated with malaria scientists, global health experts, campaigners, and Zero Malaria ambassadors, including David Beckham, to create the Zero Malaria Experience – a film and immersive installation that demonstrates how innovation and funding can save millions of children’s lives, highlighting the power of partnership in combating malaria.
Yet there is more to be done.

We are at a critical juncture in the fight to eradicate malaria. The latest World Malaria Report from the World Health Organisation paints a mixed picture of progress. While we are seeing reduced mortality and advancements in science and innovation, there is a significant risk that funding gaps will stall global efforts and put lives at risk. According to new modelling data prepared by the Malaria Atlas Project (MAP), if the Global Fund fails to secure increased funding, the world will be facing a malaria resurgence with as many as 300,000 additional lives lost. Any rise in the disease pushes us further away from any hope of ending malaria as an epidemic that kills almost half a million children a year.

We cannot let that happen. We must Change the Story. Decisions that will be taken in the months to come will determine the trajectory of the malaria fight and impact millions of lives. The team at MNMUK is determined to use its strategic campaigning skills and partnerships to ensure the right decisions are made.
On behalf of myself and the Board of Trustees at MNMUK, I would like to thank everyone who is part of our shared mission – the incredible and determined MNMUK staff, our fantastic ambassadors, and our vital partners, funders and supporters. Thank you for being an integral part of the fight to end malaria.

Building the case for ending malaria
Our work is driven by the urgent need to end malaria and its devastating impact, not only as a moral imperative but also as a vital investment in global health security and economic resilience. In a world where governments face competing budget priorities, in 2024 we continued to develop compelling messaging and arguments to help make the case for them to invest.
Fighting malaria offers a global economic boost
This year Malaria No More UK commissioned brand new research, carried out by Oxford Economics Africa, that revealed that getting back on track to the Sustainable Development Goal of cutting malaria by 90% by 2030, could boost the economies of malaria-endemic countries by an incredible $142.7 billion.
The report The Malaria Dividend: why investing in malaria innovation creates returns for all helped make the economic case for investment - : \ in malaria. Its findings supported direct advocacy and media coverage in G7 nations, and several malaria endemic countries. 4

During a year in which a General Election saw a change in the governing political party, Malaria No More UK successfully engaged Parliamentarians, Ministers and their advisors from across the political spectrum, through events, reports and targeted media coverage. Following the general election, we helped reestablish the APPG for Malaria and Neglected Tropical Diseases.
Science and innovation saving lives
Never have such a powerful set of tools existed to fight malaria, from next generation mosquito nets and new treatments to two new malaria vaccines that are now being delivered to children across 17 countries in Africa.
In 2024 the life-saving power of science and innovation continued to be a golden 4 thread running through our advocacy and communications – from seeking out and profiling _ # examples of innovation from African based ; research institutions to showcasing the long history of achievement from UK-backed science. : '
Highlighting the power of “British Backed Science” through media and directly to Parliamentarians has been especially powerful as we work aH 4 2 - with PDPs to ensure the UK strengthens its ay support of malaria R&D. PDPs are central to the development of new vector control technologies and life-saving malaria treatments. By profiling é their innovative work we worked together to secure new commitments to multi-year funding from the UK.
KEY SUCCESSES
In January, the UK Government announced it would match the first £2 million of pledges from the private sector to Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, and a further £10 million for research into effective malaria vaccine deployment. The year saw PDP partners able to access new multi-year funding from the UK for their work developing life-saving malaria prevention and treatment innovations.

The “Zero Malaria Experience” (ZMX) was developed for the malaria community, to deploy at key moments, bringing together a broad range of malaria partners and representing the multiple tools, geographies and individuals that need to work together to combat malaria.
ZMX provided a platform for Gavi and the Global Fund to demonstrate their vital role in reaching communities at risk from malaria. Both organisations were featured in the film and spoke at the launch event, allowing the two replenishments to be discussed together on a public stage. With over 47 organisations participating in the launch, the film and event united voices across the malaria community, showcasing the unified strength of one collective voice, calling for action to end malaria for good.

Celebrating the Power of EveryONE to end malaria in Kenya a
In February 2024 we and the Zero Malaria Campaign Coalition launched the Zero Malaria Starts with Me: The Power of EveryONE , a campaign developed in collaboration with partners in Kenya including the National Malaria Control Program. It shows the opportunity every Kenyan has, to help end malaria and is distinctive as it features community malaria champions as its heroes.
A national launch saw The Power of EveryONE featured in media and on billboards across Kenya – highlighting the chance to end malaria nationwide. Two months later it featured as part of the country’s World Malaria Day activity.
The Power of EveryONE also drove awareness in three target counties where people are living at particular risk from malaria — Kilifi, Kakamega, and Kisumu. We supported partners to deliver social behaviour change communications (SBCC) , encouraging correct use of insecticide treated mosquito nets, care-seeking when sick and SHAN WA AFYAYA prevention of malaria during pregnancy. (ARIBUNAWE
We trained campaign spokespeople to appear in county media while radio stations ran Power of EveryONE adverts, recorded in local languages. As community champions appeared in billboards and posters, we supported our partners the Kenya Malaria Youth Corps to deliver SBCC events designed to deepen malaria understanding amongst groups such as boda boda riders, fishing communities and young mothers.
os Early indications suggest community members taking part are ready to make a difference. 98% of those attending a Power of EveryONE SBCC event said they would speak to family, friends and loved ones about malaria (an increase from 40% in an earlier study), showing — = how the campaign is helping change lives, one > an conversation at a time.

“ , Malaria is deadly, but now ; I know how to prevent it. Knowledge is power.
Eunice works on the shores of Lake Victoria, selling fish at her small hotel at Dunga Beach. When attending a Power of EveryONE discussion group, Eunice and her fellow attendees were taught that mosquitoes bring malaria to their communities. The session broke myths and gave Eunice tools to fight back - by using insecticide treated bed nets, keeping the environment fs clean, and seeking proper medical care.
The sessions gave Eunice the confidence to advocate for malaria prevention, urging others to see a doctor, use mosquito nets, and protect themselves. Her commitment deepened after her seven-year-old daughter’s contracted malaria; she thankfully made a full recovery. Now, Eunice educates her community, including fishermen, turning her experience into action to help others stay safe and healthy. For Eunice, malaria isn’t just a part of life, it’s a battle that can be won. “Malaria is deadly,” she says simply. “But now I know how to prevent it. Knowledge is power.”

Change the Story: Raising voices in the fight against malaria
Launched in 2023 ‘Zero Malaria: Change the Story’ set out to amplify the voices of children affected by malaria while spotlighting the growing threats to malaria elimination including extreme weather events, insecticide resistance and drug resistance.
Recognising the campaign’s impact, the World Health Organization (WHO) commissioned us to create Zero Malaria: Ghetto Kids X Change The Story, a powerful film for the Malaria Ministerial Bi High Burden High Impact (HBHI) Conference in Yaoundé, Cameroon. At the conference health ministers signed the Yaoundé Declaration, a pledge by the 11 countries with the highest malaria burden to accelerate action against malaria deaths.
To mark World Malaria Day 2024, we created another compelling Change The Story film, shedding light on the devastating impact of malaria on women and girls. The film calls on global leaders to champion their leadership and empowerment as a means to drive lasting —) change.
These films gained significant traction, and were shared by David Beckham, The Ghetto Kids, Eliud jeeet Kipchoge, Anyika Onuora, Charlie Webster and re Faith Kipyegon, as well as the WHO. Their reach extended to tens of millions of people worldwide, keeping malaria at the forefront of the global agenda and reinforcing the urgency of action.
Building on this momentum, the WHO commissioned two additional Change The Story films to coincide with the launch of the 2024 World Malaria Report (WMR). These films explored the human toll of malaria, highlighting female empowerment, vaccines and next generation bed nets. Featured prominently on WHO’s World Malaria Report homepage and social media channels, the films achieved a combined potential reach of 12 million - with one film alone having been watched for the equivalent of 6 days.

Looking ahead
Global financing for malaria programming is facing multiple challenges, the likes of which haven’t been seen since the inception of the Global Fund more than two decades ago.
Malaria No More UK remains focused on this year’s Global Fund replenishment while also supporting efforts to bring in new finance. We are more determined than ever to play a key role in leveraging our connections and technical expertise to capture the stories from malaria endemic countries and amplify these with decisionmakers at a global level. We will continue to deliver targeted, audience-specific support that maximises impact, working in partnership and solidarity with critical partners across the malaria community.
We know that by bringing diverse people, voices, ideas and action together, we can end malaria and save millions of lives.

The Trustees are pleased to present their report together with the audited financial statements of the Charity for the year to 31 December 2024. The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the Charity’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and the Statement of Recommended Practice ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities’ (revised 2015).
Structure, governance and management governing document
Malaria No More United Kingdom is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 16 July 2008 and registered as a Charity on 8 October 2008. The company is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association.
Directors
The directors of the charitable company are its Trustees for the purpose of Charity law, and the members of the company limited by guarantee. Throughout this report, they are collectively referred to as the Trustees.
The following individuals served as Trustees during the year:
-
Sarah Douglas
-
Norman Mbazima
-
Feyi Olubodun
-
Dr David Reddy
-
Eva Thorne
-
Geoffrey Love
-
Stewart Cox
-
Scheaffer Atieno Okore (appointed 13th February 2024)
-
Dr Branwen Hennig (appointed 13th February 2024)
All Trustees served for the full year unless otherwise stated above.
No Trustees had any beneficial interest in the Charity, and no Trustee is paid remuneration by the Charity.
The Board of Trustees is responsible for the Charity’s strategic direction, policy and governance.
The implementation of the strategy, once agreed, and the day-to-day running and management of the Charity’s activities are delegated to the secretariat, led by the Managing Director.
23
Risk management
The Trustees regularly review the Charity’s risks and are satisfied that relevant systems are in place to mitigate their exposure to major risks. The Charity maintains a risk register that is updated quarterly. The top four risks are:
-
i. Adverse publicity results from the actions of active stakeholders, such as staff, management, a Trustee, ambassadors, partners, or a funder. The Charity manages this through its safeguarding policy and crisis management procedures.
-
ii. High dependence on the Gates Foundation as primary donor. If that funding is withdrawn or reduced, and without other sources of funding, it could lead to a significant scale-back of programme delivery.
-
iii. MNMUK’s reserve level becomes inadequate, which would mean the Charity cannot meet its obligations if other financial risks occur. It would also mean the Charity lacks sufficient funds to capitalise on opportunities that could benefit its beneficiaries or cover contractual costs to stakeholders.
-
iv. GDPR & Data Retention risk is caused by sharing or using data inappropriately, leading to a data breach, an ICO investigation, and a possible fine. Keeping data beyond the need for purpose/or keeping out-of-date information, or personal information beyond limitations, covers all MNMUK storage and systems.
All risks have mitigation strategies and monitoring actions identified and are reviewed and updated regularly.
MNMUK maintains a risk register that the leadership team updates and reviews regularly. The Audit and Risk Committee is mandated to review the risk register and provide feedback and guidance to the Trustees. The Committee met five times in 2024.
MNMUK has a Crisis Management Team led by the Managing Director, which meets at least once every quarter.
Public benefit
The Trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty under Section 17 (5) of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit.
Senior executive remuneration
Salaries for permanent staff across all functions have been set in line with market rate indicators and internal parity. Any salary adjustments made in the year are aligned with the organisation’s policy on salary banding.
The Charity publishes the salaries of its key management personnel in its annual report. The number of staff paid over £60,000 is also published in accordance with the Charity accounting requirements.

Structure, governance and management
Malaria No More UK is a registered Charity and a company limited by guarantee without share capital and is governed by its memorandum and articles of association. The group includes a wholly owned subsidiary company, Malaria No More Trading, through which its’ cause marketing’ activities are carried out.
The Charity is governed by the Board of Trustees. The Board operates a quarterly meeting cycle, with an Audit and Risk Committee meeting before the main Board meeting. The Board, with the Executive Directors, reviews progress against the organisation’s strategic aims, governance and structure, and consideration of the changing external environment. The retail operations were governed separately by the Malaria No More Trading director.
Fundraising practices
As part of MNMUK’s commitment to best practice, the Charity is registered with the Fundraising Regulator and is committed to delivering its fundraising in a legal, honest and open way and in line with the Fundraising Codes of Practice.
The Charity has several clearly documented policies and procedures, including a complaints policy, which enables any concerns from the public regarding MNMUK’s fundraising practices to be heard and addressed in a timely manner. During the year, no complaints were received from the general public. There have also been no instances of non-compliance with the Fundraising Code of Practice requirements.
Equity, Diversity and Inclusion
MNMUK’s Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy guides the organisation to ensure our work does not produce, reproduce or sustain the inequalities, exclusions and oppressions that we seek to address in the fight to end malaria. Beyond this, our ambition through our EDI strategy is to embed a social justice approach to the work that we do and the malaria fight, and centre EDI principles in how we are led and how we advocate and influence both internally and externally.
Investment policy and performance
MNMUK invests funds which exceed working capital requirements, to preserve the real value of capital, as well as for income generation.
At the end of 2023, the investments were held in a mixture of equities, bonds, cash and other investments and were managed by Rathbones. This arrangement ceased during 2024, and the funds were allocated to shorter term investments.

During 2024, MNMUK continued to receive support from its longstanding partner, the Gates Foundation. The third payment of the three-year grant (2022-2025) - “Unlocking the Path to Eradication”- was received in July 2024. This contribution is central to supporting MNMUK’s work to help catalyse the political commitment, financing, and collective action needed to reach international malaria reduction targets and establish a pathway to achieving malaria elimination. A grant renewal process for another two years of funding is underway, and the Charity is confident that it will receive the necessary approvals by the end of September 2025.
As MNMUK continued to deliver Africa-focused advocacy and communications, including the Zero Malaria Campaign Coalition in Kenya and the continued development and delivery of Zero Malaria brand communications, e.g. the Power of Everyone” campaign, funding support was deployed and received from various donors, including long-term supporters, Fever-Tree.
Open Philanthropy awarded MNMUK an additional closing-off grant of £234k in 2024; the funds will continue to support work on advocacy for malaria funding from donor governments and organisational strengthening.
Funding was received from Medicines for Malaria Venture and pharmaceutical company GSK to support specific areas of MNMUK’s work.
As hosts of the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) secretariat for Malaria and NTDs, MNMUK received £73k in restricted funding from APPG supporters.

To offset the decline in income, management acted to reduce costs where possible without affecting the quality of services provided to partners while still ensuring efficient and effective use of resources received from our funders. The overall reduction in expenditure was 15% from £4.8m in 2023 to £4.1m in 2024.
72% of total expenditure was spent on direct charitable activities (2023: 75%). Spending on support was reduced by 27% from £1.1m to £808k by reducing administration and office management costs.
The cost reductions helped strengthen the Charity’s Balance Sheet in 2024, with net assets rising by 10% to £2,160,664 compared to £1,962,431 in 2023. Restricted funds amounted to £1,055,943 compared to £1,030,445 in 2023. The total cash in hand available to the Charity decreased by £599,503 from £2,287,406 to £1,687,903 in 2024. This decrease is mainly due to a reduction in grant income received in advance in 2024.

The Trustees (also the Directors of Malaria No More UK) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements per applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the charitable company’s state of affairs and the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
Observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. In so far as the Trustees are aware:
-
There is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company’s auditors are unaware; and
-
The Trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.

Donated services represent pro bono time of numerous celebrities, legal and catering services and communications and PR support from several agencies. A change in income recognition policy in 2024 means donated service is no longer monetised in the financial statement as the amount that can be recognised did not fully reflect the invaluable time and resources received from our supporters.

Independent auditors’ report
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Malaria No More United Kingdom (the ‘parent charitable company’) and its subsidiaries (the ‘group’) for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the consolidated statement of financial activities, the group and parent charitable company balance sheets, the consolidated statement of cash flows and the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, the financial statements:
-
Give a true and fair view of the state of the group’s and of the parent charitable company’s affairs as at 31 December 2024 and of the group’s incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended
-
Have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice
-
Have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the group financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group and parent charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions related to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on Malaria No More United Kingdom’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
29
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the trustees’ annual report other than the group financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the group financial statements does not cover the other information, and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the group financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the group financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
The information given in the trustees’ annual report, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements
-
The trustees’ annual report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent charitable company and their environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees’ annual report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
Adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent charitable company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
The parent charitable company 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; or
-
The directors were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemptions in preparing the trustees’ annual report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.

Responsibility of Trustees
As explained more fully in the statement of trustees’ responsibilities set out in the trustees’ annual report, the trustees (who are also the directors of the parent 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, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the group’s and the parent 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 the trustees either intend to liquidate the group or the parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of financial statements
We have been appointed auditor under the Companies Act 2006 and section 151 of the Charites Act 2011 and report in accordance with those Acts.
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, but is not a 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 the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic 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 are set out below.
Capability of the audit in detecting irregularities
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:
-
We enquired of management, which included obtaining and reviewing supporting documentation, concerning the group’s policies and procedures relating to:
-
Identifying, evaluating, and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance;
-
Detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected, or alleged fraud;
-
The internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations.
-
We inspected the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.
31
-
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the group operates in, focusing on those laws and regulations that had a material effect on the financial statements or that had a fundamental effect on the operations of the group from our professional and sector experience.
-
We communicated applicable laws and regulations throughout the audit team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit.
-
We reviewed any reports made to regulators.
-
We reviewed the financial statement disclosures and tested these to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
-
We performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud.
-
In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments, assessed whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias and tested significant transactions that are unusual or those outside the normal course of business.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Use of our report
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 section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members 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 and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
