The total net expenditure was £60,472 (2023". net income of £50,059). This movement relates to the timing of grants received in 2023 with expenditure in 2024. The Company Is financlally dependent on the support of St Edward's School. The Trust is also funded by a combination of grants, donations, sponsorship and sales generated income. Considering recent measures taken by the Labour Government, St Edward's School and the North Wall Trustees are currently dlscussing the feasibility of future funding models of the Company. RESERVES POLICY AND RESERVES LEVEL The Trustees review the Trust's reserves policy on an annual basis. The Trust manages Its funds and the grants and donations it receives so thal, at any time. sufficient resources are available to ensure that key projects are completed and essential costs are covered. The Trust is fortunate in that belng part of the St Edward's School infrastructure, it can expend almost all resources on its projects, so long as the financial resources are avallable and confirmed. For these reasons, the Trustees are not currently looking to build up a svJnifunt free reseNe. Any unrestricted income generated is used io further the Trust's objectives. As at 31 Augu5l 2024, the Trust had total reserves of £32,141 (2023.. £92,613) of which £1.000 (2023.. £26,867) were restricted reserves. Unrestricted reserves were £31,141 (2023: £65,746). GOING CONCERN On the basis that St Edwar¢J's School has confirmed its continued support for the Trust, the Trustees are of the view that the Trusl is a going concern. RISK MANAGEMENT The Trustees are responsible for the rnanagement of the risks faced by the Trust. Detailed considerations of risk are delegated to the Company's management and is a continuous process. The Trustees hold a formal review of risk management processes annually. The key controls used include: formal agenda papers and minutes for all Committee and Board activity; comprehensive strategic planning. budgeting and management accounting. established organisational structure and clearly recognised lines of reporting. formal written policies., dear authorisation and approval levels: and vetting procedures as required by law for the protection of the vulnerable. Through the risk estsblished management processes, the Trustees are satisfied that the major risks identified have been adequately mitigated where necessary, so far as possible. They recognise that system can only provide reasonable rather than absolute assurance that major risks have been adequately managed and the measures they have taken are therefore kept under constant review.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES

The Trustees (who are also directors of the Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards).

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial period. Under that law the Trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards) and applicable law.

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial period. Under company law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and group and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

select the most suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
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 adequate records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company's transactions, disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and the provisions of the charity's constitution.

Insofar as each of the Trustees, who are also Directors of the Company, is aware at the time of approving the Annual Report of the Governors:

there is no relevant audit information, being information needed by the auditor in connection with preparing their report, of which the Company's auditor is unaware; and
each Trustee has taken all the steps that he or she should have taken as a Trustee in order to make himself or herself aware of the relevant audit information and to establish that the Company's auditor is aware of that information.

Approved by the Trustees on 30 January 2025, including, in their capacity as company directors, approving the Directors' and Strategic Reports contained therein, and signed on its behalf by:

THE NORTH WALL TRUST

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE NORTH WALL TRUST FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024

We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the charitable company operates, focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The laws and regulations we considered in this context were the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011, together with the Charities SORP (FRS 102). We assessed the required compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the related financial statement items.

In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which might be fundamental to the charitable company's ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. We also considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the charitable company for fraud. The laws and regulations we considered in this context were General Data Protecting Regulations and Health and Safety regulations.

Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the Trustees and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from irregularities, including fraud, to be within the timing of recognition of certain income streams and the override of controls by management. Our audit procedures to respond to these risks included enquiries of management, and the Trustee Board about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, sample testing on the posting of journals and certain income streams, reviewing accounting estimates for biases, reviewing regulatory correspondence with the Charity Commission, and reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.

Owing to the inherent limitations 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 performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) 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 irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.

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. 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.
