As the country started to recover from the pandemic, we were hit. and continue to be affected by. 3 severe incre8se in inflation. with the cost of living impacting heavily on people's spending power. Everybody is feeling the pinch, but most especially those in our target audience 8roup5.' low income household5, disability groups and the global majority. Whilst Vi51tor numbers have continued to rise steadily, secondary spend on site is not increasing as we might have hoped. This trend is not £8sin8 and the year ahead may well be even tou8her. The Trust has rried to introduce ways to help our communities, through funded dedicated programmes detailed this report and through our 'South Yorkshire Sundays,, providing free entry to selected postcode residents. We have also expandeil our workconsiderèblythis yearas we have be8un to deliver the Carnellia House Activiiy Plan ICHAPI, a dedicated audience development plan funded by The National Lottery Herita8e Fund. This has expanded our education, horticultural and community pro8rammes to a whole new level of delivery. We push on with site development and our peers in the sector are always impressed by what we achieve with so little, $0 quickly. The success of Wentworth Woodhouse is down ro the sheer tenacityi hard work and determination of the team. Each and everyone plays a vital role, be they pald sraff or volunteers. Our capital works programme cont5nues to Pro85$ well, wlth key projects such a5 the Camdlia House, Ionic Temple and installatlon of new car park being completed during the year. TheTru5tees set a numberof key performance indicators. which include achieving a financial bud8ettar8et lor unrestricted fund5. 3nd though we didn't achieve our original budget in the year in review, we did end the year with a srnall Surplus, a remarkable achievement given the challenges we laced. A further key perforrnance indicator is that of inerea5ing visitor number5. Visitor numbers were approximately 38.5% higher than the previous financial year, a continuation ol the steady increases we have seen year-on-year since we came to site. These indicators are rnonitored closely by management and the results ale reported to the Finance. Staffing and Audit Committee and Board of Trustees at each meeting. Regeneratlon-capltal Works Camellla House & lonlc Temple ThroughoLrt the last year work progressed on the Ionic Temple at the rear of the Gardens and the Camellia House, which Is bein8 generated as a global tea house.

In 2022 we h05ted The Hamish Ogston Surnmer School, with 18 heritage skills trainees working ècr(>ss the site for a total of six week5. The summer school provided the opportunity for trainees to attend workshop5, see heritage skills being applied firyt-hand by experts and gave the trainees the chance to hone their skills with practical experience.

REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023 The Trustees have considered the impact of the current economic cllmate on the charitws actlvitles, workforce and supply chaln, as well as the wider economy. Whilst it is noi considered practical to accurately assess the duration and exrent of any continued or ongoin8 disruption, the Trustees are confident that they have in place plans to deal with any financial losses and cash deficits that may arise. They will continue to monitor the impact on incorne and take appropriate action as necessary. The Trustees do however recognise that uncertainty continues to exist in the economy and hence there is a risk regarding the success and sustainabillty of these plans. However, the Trustees have concluded that the charity remains a golng concern whilst Such viable options are available to it. The Trustees therefore continue to adopt the 8oin8 concern basis of preparation for these financlal statement5. Prlnclpal R15k5 & Uncertalntles The Trustees have a rlsk management strategy which comprises..

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WENTWORTH WOODHOUSE PRESERVATION TRUST
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Wentworth Woodhouse Preservation Trust (the 'parent charitable company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the consolidated statement of financial activities, the consolidated balance sheet, the company balance sheet, the consolidated statement of cash flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and of the parent charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2023 and of the group's incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's and parent charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the trustees' report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the trustees' report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the trustees' report (incorporating the strategic report and the directors' report) for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements.
-
the Trustees' Report and the Strategic Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees' Report including the Strategic Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the parent charitable company has not kept adequate accounting records, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the parent charitable company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

WENTWORTH WOODHOUSE PRESERVATION TRUST
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WENTWORTH WOODHOUSE PRESERVATION TRUST (CONTINUED)
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the group's and parent charitable company'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 the group or parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements 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 guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements 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 responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
-
the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
-
we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the charitable company through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experiences of the charity’s sector;
-
we focussed on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the charitable company, including Charities Act 2011, Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation and data protection, employment and health and safety legislation;
-
we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence throughout;
-
identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.
We assessed the susceptibility of the group and parent charity's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by;
-
making enquiries of management and trustees as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and
-
considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
Page 30
WENTWORTH WOODHOUSE PRESERVATION TRUST
(A company limited by guarantee)
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WENTWORTH WOODHOUSE PRESERVATION TRUST (CONTINUED)
To address the risks of fraud through management bias and override controls, we:
-
performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected variances;
-
tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions;
-
assessed whether judgments and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates set out in note 2 were indicative of potential bias; and
-
investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:
-
agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;
-
reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
-
enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
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 its members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
