REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021 Feltham Convening Partn•rship The FCP is tying lo understsnd the r￿1 ¢aLrses of problems that worsen outcomes for babies. children and young people living in Feltham. Once these root causes are idents'ffied. the Partnership works to collectively address them over the long-temi. This is known as collective impact.

The majority of these FCP partners have lived and worked in Fertham for many years and have listened to many people in the community - local re￿dents. parenls. community leaders, young people. They have frequently heard concerns that many young people in Fellham do not achbeve the same outcomes as young people in other part5 of Hounslow and London. Residenls are concemed that there is not much for young people to do, parents are worried about their thildren's he8hh. ¢¢ynmunity le3¢Jer$ 8re wottied aboul the future of the neighbourhood. and young peotAe are worried atout their friends.

During the course of our audit work we reviewed the accounting systems and procedures operated by your company and a number of matters came to light which we feel we should draw to your attention. We set out below a list of these matters together with our recommendations for possible improvements in the systems and, where appropriate, a note of your initial comments on these matters. ## **RECOMMENDATIONS** It should be borne in mind that the list of points above contain all the matters which came to light during the course of our audit work which we feel should be brought to your attention, however, it does not necessarily represent a complete list of all the weaknesses inherent in the system. We look forward to receiving your comments on the points made. Should you require any further information or explanations please do not hesitate to contact us. ## _**Matters arising in previous years and their resolution**_ ## _Matter arising_ We note that unspent income from grants was originally treated as deferred rather than recognised as income as soon as the Foundation had entitlement to it. We also note there was some uncertainty concerning the treatment of restricted income and restricted expenditure and how best to report this particularly with regard to Oak National Academy transactions. ## _Recommendation_ All income should be recognised in full as soon as the Foundation is entitled to it. This condition would usually be satisfied on receipt. Following discussion with the management team a formal process for distinguishing between restricted and unrestricted has been established and management reporting will separately identify this in the future. ## _Management response_ There is a formal process in place for distinguishing between unrestricted and restricted funds and management reporting will separately identify this in the future. ## _Follow up in 2021_ We note these processes have been implemented and this point is therefore cleared. Yours faithfully ## **MHA MacIntyre Hudson**
