Service Aims and Objectives Our vision and strategic priorities, underpinned by our purpose, values and service commitments are based on an in-depth understanding of what's needed and what works. The organisation's trustees have agreed a strategic plan for 2024-26 which they believe will guide the organisation for the next two years and beyond but we will remain open to change and development as we are managing and leading in the context of a fast changing and at times extremely uncertain environment. Our vision Everyone can face problems or challenges at some point. Good advice and effective advocacy are empowering. They help to give people agency and control over their own lives. We recognise that some people, because of their circumstances or the impact of the problem or the discrimination they face, need more help to achieve the best outcome. Sheffield Citizens Advice and Law Centre Company Limitsd by Guarantee Trustees Annual Report to the Members of Sheffield Citizens Advice and Law Centre Year ended 31 March 2024 By providing free, confidential and independent advi￿ and advocacy services we aim to help individuals, families and communities have the knowledge, expert support and confidence to solve their problems. And we are particularly driven to ensure the most marginalised people in Sheffield can access our services. We are committed to supporting and enabling a strong infrastructure around advice and advocacy and aspire to a city where, no matter where someone seeks support, they receive accurate information and guidance and, if needed, a seamless referral to our expert advice or advocacy. We also strive to influence improvements in extemal services and campaign for improvements to policies and practices that affect the lives of clients we help by using evidence and research from service provision. Our Values Our vl3lon is underpinned by our values. Our values drive all aspects of our work, the way we relate to our communities and clients and the way we relate to each other. Our values drive our behaviours and we expect our People (paid staff, volunteers and trustees) to support our values. We are a values driven organisation. Our People are motivated by their desire to make a difference to the clients we help and this is our focus. We are committed to fairness. across our society and within our organisation. We are committed to challenging the Impact of poverty, inequallty and discrimination on the lives of the individuals and communities we help. We are proud of, respect and celebrate our diversity, the diversity of our clients, communities and our People, and are committed to being an inclusive organisation. We encourage and support our People to work with others, to seek out and develop partnerships across communities and neighbourhoods and be generous with how we share our skills, resources and support each other. Our four service commitments Our four service commitments will drive service standards, service design and our service priorities. Our services are accessible and available when needed. We offer our services through different channels, guiding clients to the channel which best suits their needs. We use technology to support efficient delivery. We design our services to ensure a straightforward client journey. Our services are visible. Our cornmunities know how to aC￿sS them and are confident of being able to do so. Vvhere people face barriers to Sheffield Citizens Advice and Law Centre Company Limited by Guarantee Trustees Annual Report to the Members of Sheffield Citizens Advice and Law Centre Year ended 31 March 2024 engagement such as language barriers or because of ill-heath or disability we provide services designed to help overcome these barriers. We support prevention and early intervention to lessen the impact of the problems people face. We work with others to help build community knowledge and skills to provide information at the earliest opportunity. We embed a common assessment across all of our services to ensure that 'every contact counts" and that there is "no wrong door" We identify, at the earliest opportunity, how to best help people prevent problems escalating. We ensure that we provide practical tools to support self-help. Where a partner is better able to provide the required support, we help people get that support from the right partner at the right time. We help people achieve the outcomes they want and which will have the greatest impact on their lives. Our serlices are quality assured, strongly branded and are delivered by our People, with the required specialist skills, knowledge and an understanding of our local communities, to help achieve these outcomes.

We make the best use of our resources to make the greatest difference. We put more resource and attention into the advice and advocacy areas that our data and experience shows matter most to people, particularly those experiencing poverty and disadvantage. We build strong relationships with trusted partner organisations so that we can help clients find a way fonNard on all issues. We support and develop our People, including a focus on their health and wellbeing, in recognition that our People are our critical resource in delivering good outcomes for clients. We build our capacity by maximising volunteering opportunities. We build the capacity in the city to provide help to more clients by using our expertise to engage partners in that delivery. Our strategic priorities 2024-2026 We have identified four overarching strategic priorities that will provide the framework for our Servi￿ provision and organisational development in the coming years. We will Make advice and advocacy accessible to those who need it the most - working flexibly, with a range of partners, and with a focus on ending disparities in access for marginalised groups. Put the voice of those with lived experience at the heart of everything we do - including and valuing the views and expertise of those who use our services. Use and strengthen our influence to help shape wider serrfices and support for the most vulnerable people in our city and campaign for change locally and nationally. Continue to build our position and reputation as the lead local provider of quality independent and impactful advice and advocacy, trusted by the people of Sheffield. Sheffield Citizens Advice and Law Centre Company Limitsd by Guarantee Trustees Annual Raport to the Members of Sheffield Citizens Advica and Law Centre Year ended 31 March 2024 We have set out a detailed workplan within our strategic plan, to deliver these priorities, incorporating both service delivery and research and campaigns. Our achievements and performance The trustees consider that they have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidan￿ published by the Charities Commission. 2023-2024 was another challenging year for many people in Sheffield and across the UK. More and more people are turning to crisis support such as foodbanks and emergency grants when their incomes simply don't cover the basic costs of living. This year, for the first time, the average number of issues for each client who came to us for advice was more than four, up from 3,6 last year reflecting the increasingly complex situations our clients face. In the face of this demand our approach has been multi-faceted.. proactively striving to reach the most under-served communities and those facing the greatest inequalities for example through targeted face to face provision on partner premises such as GP practices securing funding to grow our core advice serrfice, accessible by phone, email and community access point (video screen in neighbourhood locations) working closely with partners from across the statutory and voluntary sectors to strengthen the infrastructure around advice - ensuring that wherever someone turns they receive accurate and useful information and, where needed, a straightforward referral for specialist advice recruiting a new cohort of volunteers We know there is more work to do but, as a result of this approach, over the last year we have: established fa￿ to face provision in GP practices across three primary care networks expanded our Deaf Advice Service, employing three additional deaf staff who Gan advise in BSL increased staffing on AdVi￿line thanks to funding from both Aviva and Sheffield's local area committees trained more than 400 staff and volunteers from voluntary and community organisations to enable them to effectively support, signpost and, when appropriate, refer their clients installed additional Community Access Points in Tinsley, Low Edges and Firth Park We now deliver in person advice in over 40 settings from hospitals and GP practices to foodbanks and community organisations - providing targeted support for people experiencing specific challenges or circumstances. Sheffield Citizens Advice and Law Centre Company Limited by Guarant8e Trustses Annual Report to the Members of Sheffield Citizens Advice and Law Centre Yéar ended 31 March 2024 Our advocacy service, offering a range of different types of advocacy supported over 1900 people during the year and delivered over 30,000 hours of support. Our team of highly skilled advocates ensure their clients, voices are heard in decisions involving them and their care and we continue to receive extremely positive feedback from both the people who use our services and the professionals we come into contact with. In February the council published the long awaited tender to recommission the advocacy Servi￿ for Sheffield, a contract we have held for seven years. We learnt in April that we had been successful in this competitive process and have moved swiftly to implementing an expanded service including more peer and self-advocacy and a strong emphasis on co- production. We've also engaged a third partner, Sheffield African Caribbean Mental Health Association, alongside existing partners Cloverleaf and Disability Sheffield. We continue to deliver some national advice services, as part of a Gontract with Citizens Advice. We are part of a network of cenlres delivering the national consumer advice service and the Help to Claim service. Our Consumer team assisted over 18,000 clients with issues relating to their energy supply during the year. As a local Citizens Advice organisation, we work closely with Citizens Advice (the national membership organisation to which we belong) who, as well as contracting us to deliver services, provide support and advice to continuously develop and improve as an organisation. A key part of this is known as the Leadership Self-Assessment, a process whereby we carry out an internal audit and provide evidence which is checked by Citizens Advice against a detailed framework covering 9 key areas (as below). This takes place on a three year cycle, with a more in-depth audit every three years. Our 2024 audit, Year 3 of the cycle is due soon, In our 2023 audit we were deemed to have met the required standards across all areas. Sheffield Citizens Advice and Law Centre Company Limit8d by Guarantee Trustees Annual Report to the Members of Sheffield Citizens Advice and Law Centre Yearended 31 March 2024 Governance Strategic Business Planning met Risk Management & Compliance Financial Governance People Management met Operational Performance Research and Campaigns Equity, Diversity and Inclusion met The Trustees would like to express thanks to all our Funders and Partners who contribute so much in order for us to provide our services. Finally, and most importantly, our thanks go to our staff and volunteers for their commitment and contribution to Citizens Advice Sheffield over the past year. Sheffield Citizens Advice and Law Centre Company Limited by Guarantee Trustees Annual Report to the Members of Sheffield Citizens Advice and Law Centre Year ended 31 March 2024 Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion As a local charity our aim is to support people from all of the city's diverse communities. In order for people to feel comfortable accessing our seNices it's important they feel their voices and views are represented and understood. One way to do this is through ensuring representation throughout our organisation. We are trying to do this in a number of ways including recruiting volunteers and trustees who reflect the diversity of the city and working with communities to shape our services. This work is reflected elsewhere, such as in our annual Impact Report - in this document we are focussing on representation among our paid staff. The Sheffield Race Equality Commission report identified the publication of ethnicity pay gap data as one element of becoming an anti-racist organisation. We began reporting pay gap data for ethnicity, gender and disability last year. This year we are following the same methodology to report on pay gaps, despite some challenges. There are improvements and limitations to our data, notably.. We capture data about protected characteristics from staff at the point of taking up employment and also invite staff to complete an annual survey to ensure data remains up to date As in recent years, we have grouped ethnicity data into broad categories of white, minority backgrounds and prefer not to say. We acknowledge this is imperfect and risks missing nuances between staff from drfferent ethnic minority backgrounds,. however this has to be balanced with the risks of identifying individuals due to the small numbers in some groups. We are open to feedback on how best to improve this We have used the 2021 Census categories in all areas, to allow comparison.

We should expect to see each category close to the total, if there is no pay gap. Gender The overall split by Gender is 29 % Male, 700h Female and just over 1 Oh non binary or transgender. We should see roughly similar 29170 splits in each category. There are clearly some categories where one gender appears overrepresented at that level, but it does not show a broad pattern of greater representation of one gender with increasing salary. Ethnicity 'All Minorities, includes all except White British. We refer to pay gap but it is worth noting that we are really looking al a representation gap at (iifferent levels Wlthin the organisation as our pay structure does not allow for people to be paid differing salaries to perform the same role Sheffield Citizens Advice and Law Centre Company Limited by Guarantee Trustees Annual Report to the Members of Sheffield Citizens Advice and Law Centre Year ended 31 March 2024 The overall split by Ethnicity is 65 % White British, 30 % All Minorities (the remainder either preferred not to say or no data was available). It is clear that l+Vhite British people are therefore overrepresented at Leadership Team level (75 % vs 65 % ) and in Support Services (730/0 va 65 % ). For the bulk of our staff who fall into Specialist Advisers and Supervisors (127 individuals out of a total of 168), the split is very close to the organisational average of 650/0130 % . There remains a challenge at Leadership Team level, which we are addressing through a number of schemes such as mentoring. Disability We should see roughly a third of staff with a disability in each category in order to reflect the overall position. People with a disability are therefore underrepresented at Leadership Team level and in Support Services.

There is a slightly lower level of disability representation in managemenv leadership roles but while we need to remain aware of this it is worth noting that 1) the size of the team has changed during the last year and 2) the variation may not be statistically significant due to the number of posts. This year we achieved Level 1 of the Disability Confident Employer Scheme and are now working towards Level 2. We continue to see under-representation of staff from minoritised ethnic backgrounds at supervisor level and above despite slight progress over the last couple of years. We have introduced schemes such as internal mentoring for aspiring leaders which has contributed to individual progression and this year have signed the Race at Work Charter as part of our commitment to improving equality of opportunity but there is more to do. We anticipate that 17 Sheffield Citizens Advice and Law Centre Company Limited by Guarantee Trustees Annual Report to the Members of Sheffield Citizens Advice and Law Centre Year ended 31 March 2024 some of these measures will bear fruit at Supervisor and Leadership Team level, though change resting on intemal progression takes a number of years. We are reviewing all of our recruitment processes to ensure we are not Greating additional real or perceived barriers - for example offering all roles with a part-time option and removing references to 'a high standard of written English. in adverts, instead setting out more specifically the skills needed in person specifications. From 2024 we are monitoring diversity data for job applicants and able to measure rates of application, shortlisting and appointment which will help us to identify further actions we can take. Financial review 2023-2024 is the tenth complete year of operation. The statement of financial activities shows income of £6,090,606 and expenditure of £5,304,127 and hence a surplus of £786,479. Total funds at the year end were £1,868,349. The Charity continues to secure grants and contracts from a wide range of sources including local and national funding streams. The income was higher than the previous year by £1,550,415 which reflects the funding changes compared to contracts reported in last year's annual report. The charity's sendices are being provided on a sound financial basis. Reserves policy The Trustees have confimed that Citizens Advice Sheffield should hold reserves in order that the charity can continue to operate in the event of unforeseen and potentially financially damaging circumstances arising. The Trustees consider that it is prudent to set the reserves target as an amount equivalent to three months, operating expenditure (calculated annually by reference to the financial plan approved by the Board). This reserves policy is monitored and reviewed by the Trustees regularly and at least annually. On the basis of the budgeted expenditure for the coming year this requires reserves of £1,496,721. At 31 st March 2024 free reserves were £1,623,812 (2023 £1,606,770), which is equivalent to 3.25 months running costs based on the coming year's budget. Investment policy Any reserves available for Investment are held in interest bearing cash deposit accounts chosen in line with the charity's ethical stance. These reserves are spread across more than one institution to take advantage of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, in the event of bank failure. 18 Sheffield Citizens Advice and Law Centre Company Limitsd by Guarantee Trustses Annual Report to the Membars of Sheffield Citizens Advice and Law Centre Year ended 31 March 2024 Plans for the future As set out in the introduction to this report, the Board has approved a strategic and business plan for the period April 24 to March 26. We will stay focused on our four priorities whilst acknowledging that the exact nature of our service delivery may need to flex and adapt to respond to the fast-changing and challenging external environment in which we are operating. Effective partnerships remain central to our approach across advice and advocacy as we seek to provide accessible seNices to those who need them most. We have strong foundations across the statutory and voluntary and community sectors and will continue to build on these through consolidating targeted provision linked to health services and community organisations, providing training for frontline staff and volunteers and actively developing new partnerships where we identify unmet need. Ongoing demand pressures across organisations and sectors are most effectively addressed if we work together to support the people of our city. Structure, governance and management The legal and administrative information set out on page 20 forms part of this report. The Charitable Company is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 19th July 2013. Through an open recruitment process we recruit trustees who support the aims of the Charity and bring relevant skills, knowledge and experien￿. Trustees operate to a role description with newly recruited trustees receiving induction and support from more experienced trustees. The Board recruits new trustees having regard to any skills, knowledge or experience deficits within the current Board. During 2023-24, the Board recruited a new Chair in waiting, to take over the role at the end of Mark Gamsu's term of office. The Board was pleased to recruit Debbie Matthews to this role. Debbie took over as Ghair of the Trustees on 3rd April 2024. One trustee resigned during 2023-24 (and a further one in June 2024). Debbie Matthews and Mohammad Rajiaque joined the Board in September 2023. Paul Ntulila joined the Board in June 2024. The Board of Trustees rneets at least 10 times a year. The Board has four committees: a Finance, Audit and Risk committee, an HR and People committee, a Client Experience Committee and a Remuneration Committee. With the exception of the Remuneration Committee, each Committee meets a minimum of four times per year. The Board has a scheme of delegation. 19 Sheffield Citizens Advice and Law Centre Company Limited by Guarantee Trustees Annual Report to the Members of Sheffield Citizens Advice and Law Centre Year ended 31 March 2024 In April 2023, the Board approved the financial plan for 2023-24. The Board receives quarterly management accounts and a ￿-foreCaSt within six weeks of the end of the previous quarter. The Financial Statements comply with statutory requirements and with the Statement of Recommended Practice (Accounting and Reporting by Charities) issued by the Charities Commission, known as the Charities SORP 2015 (FRS 102). Risk management The Finance, Audit and Risk Committee is responsible for ensuring that we manage risk effectively. The risk management arrangements include robust performance and quality management, financial management, systematic risk assessment of ICT systems and the introduction of measures for greater resilience including compliance with information assurance requirements and detailed inspections of the organisation's premises. Our auditor of previous years, Tingle Ashmore, resigned in March 2023, and a tender process was undertaken to select a new auditor for 2022-23 resulting in the appointment by the Board of Allen, West and Foster. We reappointed Allen, West and Foster for 2023-24. In 2023-24 we have continued work to improve our cyber security posture. We have renewed our Cyber Essentials certification and are working towards Cyber Essentials plus for June 2025. The Board maintains a strategic Risk Register which is considered fortnightly by the Leadership Team, at each meeting of the Finance, Audit and Risk Committee, and presented to the Board on a regular basis. Change of Registered Office In 2023-24 we commenced our exit from our previous administration offices, into new facilities which are much more suited to a modem charity of our size. We are pleased to have consolidated both of our previous city centre locations into one new location. The new office will provide up to date facilities to support the provision of telephone and digital services, management and administration, and appointments for our clients. Following our exit from the Circle, we have changed our Registered office address as noted below. 20 Sheffield Citizens Advice and Law Centre Company Limited by Guarantee Trustees Annual Report to the Members of Sheffield Citizens Advice and Law Centre Year ended 31 March 2024 Reference and administrative details Charity number 1153277 Company number 8616847 Financial Conduct Authority registration number FRN 617731 Office of Immigration Services Commissioner N201300063 Information Commissionerfs Office Registration ZA019728 Name and registered office Sheffield Citizens Advice and Law Centre 20 Arundel Gate Sheffield S12PP Our advisors: Auditors Allen, West and Foster Ltd Omega Court, 364-366 Cemetery Road Sheffield S118FT Bankers Unity Trust Bank PIC 9 Brindley Place Birmingham 812HB Trustees and Dlrectors Appointed Resigned Debbie Matthews Mark Gamsu Alistair Griggs Hilary Dawson Lynsey Golland Mary Seneviratne Mark Smith Shei18 Robinson Helen Steers Karen Escott David Sollitt Gregg Watts Neal Southwick Rebecca Morcos Mohammad Rajjaque Paul Ntulila 06109123 18107113 18107113 04109113 05110122 05110116 05110116 05109118 05109118 07110120 07110120 07110120 05110122 05110122 06109123 05106124 06107123 05106124 Principal Staff Chief Executive Sylvia Vlard Head of Advice Joanne Abdulla Head of Resources and Peter Brown Organisational Development 0111112021 0611212017 1910812019 21 Sheffield Citizens Advice and Law Centre Company Limited by Guarantee Trustaes Annual Report to the Members of Sheffield Citizens Advice and Law Centre Year endod 31 March 2024 Trustees.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other infomialion and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in 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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a m8terial misstatement ofthe other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material mis5talement of this other information, we are required lo report that fact. We have nothing to report In this regard.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity'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 Ihe charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. AuditoV3 rosponslbllltles for the audit of tho flnanclal statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial slalements 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 guaranlee that an audit conducled in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misslatemenl when it exists. Misslalements 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 r8sponsibilities, outlined above, to detect mat8rial misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.. Identifying and assessing potential risks related to irregularities In identifying and assessing risks of material mlsstatement in respect of irregularities, Sncluding fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following.. Audlt rlsks Identifiod the nalure of Ihe industry and sector, control envlronmenl and business performance., results of our enquiries of management, about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities., any mallers we idenlified havlng made enquiries about the documentatlon ofthelr policies and procedures ralating to= identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any inslances of noncompliance., detecling and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspecled or alleged fraud. the internal controls established to mitigate risks of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations.. the matters discussed among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud. As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud in relation to income recognition, banking procedures and segregation of duties. In common with all audits under ISAS {UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of managgment override. 25 Sheffield Citizens Advice and Law Centre Company Limited by Guarantee Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Shéffield Citizens Advice and Law Centre (¢oniinuedJ Year ended 31 March 2024 We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the company operates in. focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulalions we considered in this context included the UK Companies Act, UK Corporate Governance Code and local tax legislation. 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 may be fundamental to the company's ability to operate or to avoid a mat8rial penalty. Audit response to rlsks Identlfled As a result of performing the abova, we identified income recognition, management override of controls and related party transactions as key audit matters related to the potential risk of fraud. In order to mitigate the risk identified, enquiries were made of key management personnel as lo the procasses surrounding the recording of transactions and recognition of income, including agreement to remittance advices and grant agreements. The existence of related parties was anquired about with key management personnel and throughout the audit and review of the accounts {as well as the transactions ncluded Ihereinl it was ensured that there were no disclosable items or transactions which had not been conducted at arms length. In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, our procedures included reviewing and testing the appropriateness ofjournal entries and other adjustments., assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias., and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business. Due to the minim81 number of transactions throughout the financial ye8r it was clear that there had been no management override ofcontrols and th8t each transaction had been correctly and properly recorded as appropriale. We also communicated relevant Identified laws and regulations and potentlal fraud rlsks to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or noncompliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit. As part of an audlt In accordance with ISAS {UK}, we exerclse professlonal Judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also.. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions. misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in Ihe circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accountlng estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees. Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees, use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists relaled to events or conditions that may casl significant doubt on the charity's ability lo continue as a going concern. 26 Sheffield Citizens Advice and Law Centre Company Limited by Guarantee Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Sheffield Citizens Advice and Law Centre (C￿lInued) Year ended 31 March 2024 If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists. we are required to draw altention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial ststements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, lo modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charity to cease to continue as a going concern. Evaluate the overall presentation, stwcture and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whetherthe financial slatements ￿present the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. We communicate wlth those charged wlth governance regardlng, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in intemal control that we identify during our audit.

Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possib18 to eslim8te the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generaling unit to which the asset belongs.
