Commission's guidance on public benefit, including the guidance 'public benefit.. running a charity IP021. The
achievements and activities above demonslrale the public benefrt arising through the Charity's activities.
The role and contribution of volunteèrs
ILPA does not use volunteers to undertake any of our work however clearly many of our members provide their time and
expertise lo our work on a regular basis. ILPA would simply not be able lo funclty)n effects'vely wilhoul this invaluable

resources section. The vast majority of this conlenl is publicly available and we are also increasingly using
social media {especially Twitlerl to let people know about the changes and issues. ILPA has also set UP 2
google group wheie Fnembers ¢an share expertise and knowledge.
3. Influencing work through moolings with senior Home Office and UKVI offlclals.

decision making, the implementation of the changes lo guidance and the rules as a result of the Coronaviius
pandemic and the ongoing issues with the EUSS scheme as we ended the transition period. Duiing these

4. An extensive programm8 of Influencing through our Parliamenlary work
ILPA produced a parliamentary briefing on the Immigration and Social Security Co-ordination IEU Wilhdrawall
Bill for ils second reading in May 2020. We sent our briefing on the second reading of the Bill lo a variety of
politicians and we were referred to at the despatch box by Holly Lynch MP, the Shadow Immigration Minister.
We also held meetings with Holly and Kale Green MP (then Shadow Minister for Child Povety Strategy) to
explain our concerns and to discuss amendments and strategy. Adrian Berry, our Chair of Trustees, gave
evidence on the Bill lo the Public Bill Committee. We also provided a further written briefing. A number of our
suggested amendments were tabled or were discussed a5 part of debates on particular provisions in the Bill.
In April 2020, ILPA submilled lengthy evidence lo the Home Affairs Select Committee inquiry into Home Office
preparedness for Covid-19. ILPA highlighted that the ovetwhelming issue had been the inadequacy of Home
Office public communication, in patticular in ensuring guidance was clear and publicly accessible. ILPA also
raised issues relating lo the legal basis of the coronavirus concession and extension policies. These issues
were explored fvrther in live evidence given by Adrian Berry, our chair of trustees, lo the committee.
In FebrLJary 2021, ILPA responded lo the Home Affairs Select Committee's further call on the Home Off￿e
preparedness for Covid-19. We highlighled concerns on the Home Office's use of inslilulional asylum
accommodation and the inadequacy of some of the Home Office's COVID concessions which did not go far
enough in addressing the issues migrants were lacing in and out of the UK, including issues faced by EEA
nalionals and their family members applying urbder the EU Settlement Scheme.

funding.

into scope more issues which are experienced by migrant grDUPS mote generally and allow u5 to more pro-

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit cornducled in accordance with
ISAS (UK) will always delecl a rnaterial misslalemenl when it exists. Misslalements can arise from fraud or effor and
are considered material if, individually or in the aggregale, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of Ltsers taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities. including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and iegulations. We design proTrdLJres in line
with our responsibilities, Outlined above, lo delecl material misstalemenls in iespecl of ilregularilies, including fraud. The
exlent lo wh￿h our procedures"aTe capable of delecling irregularities, including fraud is detailed below..

lo identifying those laws and regulations Ihat Gould be expected lo have a material impact on Ihe financial
statements, During Ihe engagement team briefsng, the oul¢omes of these discussions and enquiries were shared
with the team, as well as consideration as lo where and how fraud may occur in the entity.
The following laws and regulations were identified as being of significance to the etblity..
Those laws and regulations considered to have a direct effect on Ihe financial slalemenls include UK
financial reporting standard5, Company Law. Charities Act, Tax and Pensions legis181ion, and distributable
profits legislation.
It is considered Ihal thefft are no laws and regulations for which non-complian￿ may be fundamental lo the

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR TO THE MEMBERS OF
THE IMMIGRATION LAW PRACTITIONERS, ASSOCIATION LIMITED
No ir¢stances of material non-compliance were identified. However, the likelihood of delecling irregu12rities,
including fraud, is limited by the inherent difficu5ty in detecting irregularities, the effectiveness of the entity's
controls, and the nature, liming and extent of the audit procedures perfomied. Irregularities that rÈ8uIt fmm fraud
might be inherently more difficult to detect than itregulaiities that resu11 from error. As explained above, there is an
unavoidable risk that material misslalemenls may not be detected, even though the audit has been planned and
performed in accordance with ISAS IUKI.
A fvrther desuiption of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Flnanclal Reporting
Council's website at www.frc.or
.ukJauditDrsres
nsibililies. This descxiption fomis part of our auditorfs ￿pOrt.
This report is made solely to the company's mernbers, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Parl 16 of the
Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's member5
those mallers we are required lo slate to them in an audito¢s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent
permitted by law. WÈ do not accept or asskjme iesponsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the
