We acknowledge that people's circumstances ¢han8e, and we promise to respect and act on information shared if one of our supporters is in a vulnerable situation- we did not receive any such notifications in the financial year. We are also signed up to the Fundraising Preference SefvSce to enable individuals to opt out from receiving fundraising communications from us- we received zero est5 from this servKe during the year.

Caritas – Anchor House – Audit Findings Report | Year ended 31 MARCH 2022
1. INTRODUCTION AND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report summarises our key findings in connection with the audit of the financial statements of Caritas – Anchor House (“CAH”) for the year ended 31 March 2022.
Our audit approach
Our work was planned and performed in order to issue an audit opinion on the financial statements in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (“ISAs”) and the terms of our letter of engagement. Our audit approach is a risk-based approach founded on us gaining a thorough understanding of the entity and its business in order to allow us to identify the risks of material misstatement within the financial statements. To do this, we consider both the risk inherent in the financial statements themselves and the control environment in which the entity operates. We then use this assessment to develop an effective and efficient approach to the audit.
Limitations
Our audit procedures, which have been designed to enable us to express an opinion on the financial statements, have included an examination of the transactions and the controls thereon.
Our audit included consideration of internal controls relevant to the preparation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control or to identify any significant deficiencies in their design or operation.
We have included in this report only those matters that have come to our attention as a result of our normal audit procedures and, consequently, our comments should not be regarded as a comprehensive record of all deficiencies that may exist or improvements that could be made.
Overall conclusion and opinion
At the time of issuing this report we anticipate issuing an unqualified opinion on the financial statements.
Haysmacintyre LLP September 2022

2. SIGNIFICANT AUDIT RISKS, AND OTHER FOCUS AREAS IDENTIFIED DURING AUDIT PLANNING
We set out below the significant audit risks and where applicable, other key areas of focus for our audit identified at the planning stage and the conclusions of our audit work:
| Significant Audit risk/focus area | How we addressed this | Commentary |
| Presumed risk in revenue recognition Under ISA 240 there is a presumed risk that revenue may be misstated due to improper revenue recognition. We are required to consider and respond to the risks of improper revenue recognition. However, this presumption may be rebutted and in your case, we have concluded that it was appropriate to do so as set out in our Audit Planning letter. Audit testing was therefore focussed on the risk of error. |
We have undertaken the following procedures to verify the appropriateness of revenue recognition: • Detailed substantive testing of revenue including cut-off testing. • Analytical testing of accommodation income with reference to occupancy levels and charging rates |
Our audit work on revenue did not identify any material issues. |
| Presumed risk of management override We are required to consider and respond to the risks arising from management override of controls. |
Accounting estimates were reviewed for potential bias. The business rationale for unusual or significant transactions outside the normal course of business for the company were evaluated. We reviewed the appropriateness of general journal entries posted throughout the year and at the year-end for the preparation of the financial statements. |
Planned audit work considered to be satisfactory in this area. |

3. ACCOUNTING AND AUDIT MATTERS
3.1 Qualitative aspects of accounting practices and financial reporting
i. Matters noted during the audit
Gas accrual
At the end of the prior year a provision for unbilled charges of £45,678 arising between July 2017 and March 2020 was retained on the basis that at 31 March 2021 management still considered it more likely than not the payment would be demanded despite no bills being received. The gas supplier was changed in 2020-21 and, given the time elapsed, management have now considered it appropriate to release the provision. Whilst the old supplier is still legally entitled to raise a bill, it now appears improbable that this this will occur. Therefore for from an accounting perspective, the release of the provision is appropriate,
Recoverability of St Mark’s Community Centre Debtor
The sales ledger continues to include a balance of £30,048 owed by St Mark’s arising from expenditure incurred on behalf of St Mark’s prior to 31 March 2019, and this amount continues to be fully provided against hence there is a net debtor of £nil. £20,000 related to management charges was received in the prior yearended 31 March 2021 but we understand from your trustee meeting minutes that no further meetings or engagement with St Mark’s are expected. Therefore the £nil position appear correct. If you do not envisage that any further recovery action will be taken then it would be appropriate to write off the debt fully and release the provision in 2022-3 with £nil overall effect on the result.
Rental debtors
Rental debtors of £89k are disclosed net of a provision of £38k which covers 100% of all former residents’ arrears and 25% of all current tenants. This approach has been consistently applied and appears reasonable.

3.2 Accounting and audit matters
i. Summary of adjusted and unadjusted misstatements
No unadjusted misstatements were noted in the course of the audit other than clearly trivial items.
ii. Letter of representation
International Standards on Auditing require us to obtain written representations from the trustees when you approve the financial statements. The letter contains only standard matters with no additional items specific to Caritas Anchor House.
iii. Other matter
Financial irregularity
Management have brought to our attention that excess hours have been paid to a sub-contractor resulting in a financial loss of £11,059 of which the main contractor has agreed to meet 50%.
Whilst the amount is monetarily immaterial to the financial statements, the circumstances underlying the irregularity have warranted an investigation by management. We understand that you will be reporting the position to the Charity Commission, and we will require sight of your report in due course.

4. DETAILED CONTROL POINTS
During the course of our audit we identified the following detailed control points that we feel need to be brought to the attention of the Trustees and certain recommendations for improvements and or corrective action. Our audit included consideration of internal controls relevant to the preparation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control or to identify any significant deficiencies in their design or operation. The matters and detailed control points that we have identified are graded within the following framework to assist the Trustees in assessing their impact.
| Rating | Rating type | **Characteristics of rating type ** |
|---|---|---|
| Significant | These findings are considered to be significant to the management of risk in the business. The finding represents a serious weakness in systems and controls currently in place or a potentially fundamental control that has been omitted from the risk management systems as currently in operation. |
• Key control omitted • Key control not designed or operating effectively, for example as indicated by multiple exceptions found during our review work • Evidence of override of controls in place with significant or potentially fraudulent outcomes • Non-compliance with laws and regulations |
| Important | Important findings that should be reviewed by management, pending corrective action and or updates to systems and controls. |
• Errors and exceptions noted during our testing that had corrected retrospectively during the year by management. • Potential improvement to existing control noted • Possibility for override of controls exists • Our review noted numerous exceptions but not in key controls |
| Limited | Findings that identify non-compliance with established systems and controls. |
• Minor control weakness, for example limited exceptions noted during our review work |
| Advisory | Items requiring no immediate action but which may be of interest to management or best practice advice. |
• Information for department management • Control operating but scope for efficiency and/or effectiveness improvements exist • Control operating but not necessarily in accordance with best practice • Recent or anticipated developments may necessitate new controls. |

We wish to bring the following matters to your attention which arise from the current year audit as well as the latest status of outstanding issues arising from previous year audits:
Current year
| Issue: | Equals System balance | **Controlpoint rating: ** | Limited | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Observation/ Risk | Our comments &proposals | Management response | |||
| CAH now uses the Equals system of prepaid charge cards. At the year-end the general ledger showed a balance held on the Equals account of £980. The Equals account is accessible online but by the time the audit was conducted in July it was not possible to review the balance at 31 March retrospectively. |
Whilst the year-end amount and annual expenditure (£26k) are immaterial, it would be good practice to maintain a record of the balance at key dates. Werecommendthat at screen shot is taken at 31 March in future. |
We were not aware that we will not be able to get the balance on Equals account retrospectively. We will make sure that we get the balance on 31 March in future |
Prior years
There are no unresolved points brought forward from earlier years.

5. EMERGING ISSUES
Charity reporting and governance matters Charities Act 2022
On 24 February 2022, the Charities Bill received Royal Assent and became the Charities Act 2022 (the Act). The Act makes amendments to the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) in a number of specific areas, largely in response to the recent Law Commission review of charity legislation and with the overarching objective of making life simpler for charity trustees, as well as harmonising certain procedures, such as making amendments to a charity’s objects, across the various different corporate structures within which charities operate. The key changes are set out below and will be brought into effect via secondary legislation in due course.
- 1) Permanent Endowment – Under the 2011 Act, if charity trustees need to expend permanent endowment funds in order to advance the purpose for which the fund was originally given, typically because the income that the fund’s investments generate is insufficient to support meaningful activity, there are two different mechanisms depending on whether the value of the fund exceeds £10k and the value of the income that it generates exceeds £1k per annum. Where funds exceed both thresholds, Charity Commission consent is required for capital to be expended.
When implemented, the 2022 Act will simultaneously increase the capital threshold to £25k and remove the income threshold. The expectation is that this will widen Trustees’ ability to expend capital by resolution alone where they consider this to be necessary to carry out the purpose of permanent endowment funds more effectively. However, it will mean that larger funds with income below the £1k threshold will require consent where previously they did not.
-
2) Borrowing from permanent endowment. The Government has accepted that charities should have a power to borrow from the charity’s permanent endowment. The power will allow the charity to borrow up to 25% of the permanent endowment, with Commission approval, subject to a requirement that they recoup the expenditure within 20 years. This power is intended for ‘investment’ permanent endowment and it is not intended for functional permanent endowment.

3) Changing charitable purposes and governing documents – The government acknowledged that the current process for changing or amending a governing document is complex, and there are various different ways in which it had to be carried out depending on the legal structure of the charity. Unincorporated charities are to be given a new power to amend any provision in their governing documents, subject to a limited number of changes which would still require the permission of the Charity Commission such as ‘regulated’ alterations (Charitable objects, dissolution provision and trustee benefit provision for example), provisions that would alter permanent endowment and provisions that would have required the agreement/consent of others.
-
4) Fundraising appeals – The Act simplifies the requirements around restricted donations for fundraising appeals that have failed either because they did not raise sufficient funds to fulfil the purpose (“initial failure”) or which have surplus funds after fulfilling the purpose (“subsequent failure”). An obvious example for Schools would be a fundraising appeal for a capital project. Subject to certain limitations, where a fundraising appeal has failed, the Trustees will be able to repurpose donations provided that the new purpose is sufficiently close to the original purpose of the appeal, without needing to obtain permission from the donors first.

Other changes cover matters such as changing charities purposes and governing documents; appointment and remuneration of Trustees; charity mergers.
Because the Act is an amending act, the form and content of charity financial reporting will continue to be governed by the Charities Act 2011.
Charity Commission Inquiry into the collapse of Kids Company
The Charity Commission has concluded its Inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the August 2015 collapse of Kids Company and its report was published in February 2022. The Inquiry was opened in August 2015 but was paused while the Charity went through an involuntary insolvency process and to avoid prejudicing the outcome of a High Court trial to determine whether the then Trustees should be disqualified from acting as company directors. The High Court issued its judgment on 12 February 2021, with the determination that the Trustees should not be disqualified from acting as company directors. The scope of the Charity Commission’s Inquiry was considerably wider than the matter decided by the High Court and can be read in full here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/charity-inquiry-keeping-kids-company/charity-inquiry-keeping-kids-company.
The Commission’s key findings were that:
-
Kids Company was operating a high-risk, demand-led model which prioritised growth and delivery of services to beneficiaries in the short term over building reserves and resilience for the longer term. As a result, when there was a shock which had a negative impact on the charity’s fundraising, in this case unfounded allegations of abuse of beneficiaries, the charity’s reserves were insufficient to allow the charity to avoid an insolvent windingup. Had the charity maintained a higher level of reserves, it may have had sufficient resources to continue after the allegations were determined to be unfounded, or at least to have allowed for a more orderly winding-up and potential transfer of services to another provider, thus avoiding any detriment to its beneficiaries.
-
There was a lack of documentation relating to funding decisions made by the Board. This may, in part, have been due to the inappropriate destruction of records which followed the charity’s closure but the Commission notes that it is not clear whether certain records were destroyed or never existed in the first place. The maintenance of proper records is essential to support accountability and to ensure that the Trustees can demonstrate that they have made decisions appropriately. It should be noted that at no point has it been alleged that the Trustees were involved in the destruction of records.
-
The charity had repeatedly failed to make payments to creditors on time, in particular amounts due to HMRC and to self-employed workers. The Commission found that this alone represented mismanagement on the part of the Trustees.
-
There were some skill gaps on the Board and the Commission particularly noted that the presence of a Trustee who had experience of running a large and complex charitable organisation, as Kids Company had grown to be, would have been invaluable.

- Many of the Trustees had been in place for a long period of time, and greater rotation of the Trustee body and specific roles within it, would have meant that it would be more likely to constructively challenge management’s established working practices and the charity’s operating model.
Whilst the circumstances of Kids Company’s operating model and eventual collapse were unique, the Commission has identified a number of learning points which are of potential relevance to all charities. Most notably:
-
Charity boards should ensure checks and balances, and the right blend of skills and knowledge, are in place to avoid power imbalances. Boards should consider setting formal terms of office for Trustees and have a diversity policy to ensure a broad range of experience in the Trustees. Both of these are key recommendations of the Charity Governance Code.
-
Charities should identify and balance the risks associated with their operating model with the benefits of that model, and the benefits should be evidenced.
-
Charities should undertake financial planning and maintain a reserves policy, and ensure that decisions are properly and transparently documented. Where charities are earning income from service provision, they should be giving due consideration to covering and element of core costs as well as the direct costs of provision. The Commission emphasises that the building of reserves would have been in the interests of Kids Company’s beneficiaries because it would have allowed for a more orderly transition of services to a new provided in the event of the charity’s closure.
-
Charities should ensure that their infrastructure, governance and resources keep pace with their growth. Kids Company had grown rapidly in the ten years prior to its collapse but it was not clear that the Trustee board or the charity’s governance arrangements had changed to reflect the changing scale and complexity of the charity’s activities.
Charity Commission consultation on change to the Annual Return
The Charity Commission has launched a consultation on proposed changes to the Annual Return, which would apply for financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2023. The proposals include the removal of some redundant questions and the simplification of others, as well as adding new questions, as the Commission seeks to ensure that the Annual Return continues to gather relevant data. The consultation closes on 1 September 2022 and can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/charity-commission-revisions-to-the-annual-return-2023-25
UK Corporation tax
Corporation Tax self-assessment
As a reminder, every charity is required to perform a self-assessment each year to determine whether it is liable to pay any corporation tax. This is regardless of whether HMRC have issued a formal notice to file a corporation tax return (usually issued periodically for charities registered with HMRC).
A return should therefore be prepared and filed with HMRC if either:

Caritas – Anchor House – Audit Findings Report | Year ended 31 MARCH 2022
UK Corporation tax
-
a return has been formally requested; OR
-
it has been established that the charity has a corporation tax liability.
In most circumstances a charity will not be liable to pay any corporation tax, as there are a number of charitable exemptions which cover the majority of the typical income streams that charities receive. Please note that all the exemptions only apply so far as the income is applied for charitable purposes only.
The main exemptions include:
-
profits from trading that directly furthers the charity’s objects;
-
rental income from land and buildings
-
investment income
-
income from VAT exempt fundraising events
-
Miscellaneous and other non-charitable trading where the total turnover does not exceed £80k per annum
If you have any concerns about a possible liability to corporation tax or are unsure whether a particular stream of income falls within the exemptions noted above, please get in touch with your normal haysmacintyre contact for advice.
Employment Tax
Health and Social Care Levy
The Government has introduced a Health and Social Care Levy at 1.25% to pay for spending on health and social care measures, including a cap on social care costs. Initially it will take the form of increased NICs, for both employers and employees.
-
From April 2022, rates of employer and employee National Insurance including Class1A and Class1B (employer only NIC payable on benefits) l increased by 1.25%
-
From 2023, the increased NICs will be replaced by a dedicated levy and National Insurance rates will revert to the 2021/22 levels. Unlike National Insurance, the levy will be paid by people over pensionable age who are still working.
The levy will not be charged for employees under the age of 21, apprentices under 25, and qualifying freeport employees. The money raised via the levy will be ring-fenced for investment in health and social care.
Hybrid working arrangements
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic it was possible for many office-based employees to be able to work from home.
10
Caritas – Anchor House – Audit Findings Report | Year ended 31 MARCH 2022
Employment Tax
Whilst the Government introduced an exemption for employer reimbursed expenses to cover the cost of relevant home office equipment, the exemption ended on 5 April 2022. Under the terms of the exemption employees will receive the full reimbursement for the purchase of equipment to enable them to work from home.
What are the wider implications employers need to consider where consideration is being given to the future of flexible, or hybrid-working arrangements? Now that the pandemic restrictions are being lifted the reason for working from home will primarily be a matter of personal choice where the employee will come into the office say two/three days each week and work the remainder of their time at home. Where this is the case, the office will remain the place of work and the cost of travelling to the office will not qualify for any tax relief.
However, where offices have been permanently closed, for example, as part of a significant reorganisation of the organisation, then consideration will need to be given to the following:
-
What are the employee’s duties?
-
Where do they carry out their duties?
-
Are they an area-based employee, responsible for say the East of England?
Consequently, employers will need to consider the impact of the legislation as part of introducing any hybrid working arrangements.
For many organisations the post-pandemic era will present a real opportunity to revise employee working practices especially where they can work, helping to provide a better work-life balance. A further benefit is the possibility to extend the catchments area for recruiting new employees and not being restricted to candidates based within reasonable commuting distance of the office. Where new policies are being introduced, we recommend they are fully reviewed to ensure they are compliant with current income tax and National Insurance legislation.

ISA (UK) 315 Revised Identifying and Assessing the Risks of Material Misstatement
Periods commencing on or after 15 December 2021
The International Audit and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) approved a significant re-write of the standard in September 2019. The effects of the revisions are far-reaching and will require a revised approach to risk assessments. Some of the terminology used will be familiar from the recent reworking of ISA (UK) 540 – Auditing Accounting Estimates.
In summary, it requires more thoughtful and evidence-based assessments in which five new inherent risk factors are considered and placed on a “Spectrum of Risk” at the higher end of which lie Significant Risks.
11
Caritas – Anchor House – Audit Findings Report | Year ended 31 MARCH 2022
Auditing developments
The new inherent risk factors are:
-
Subjectivity;
-
Complexity;
-
Uncertainty;
-
Change; and
-
Susceptibility to misstatement due to bias or fraud.
“Sufficient, appropriate” evidence must be obtained from risk assessment procedures as the basis for the risk assessment.
The revised ISA’s application notes provide more explanatory material on controls relevant to the audit and on the design and implementation required for these controls.
A great deal more is required in respect of IT and particularly IT general controls and understanding and applying the changes required will be a significant task for auditors with increased levels of audit preparation, planning and work.
