The ongL)Ing cost increases have had a crilicAI impact on the financial resilience ot West Sussex Mind, particularly for services where commissioners and nderS have not prowded adequate inflationary uplifts to contract values for several years. Our main NHS contract is also being recommissioned within the next 12 months (the budget for these seNices is in the region of £1,600,000 for 202415). Coupled with increasing demand for our services, these factors have resutted in the Trustees CL¥Bidering it prudent to maintain free reserves al around 6 months, operating costs lo ensure we can remain financialty resilient and manage the associated risks appropriately. We start the year with annual budgeled expenditure of around £3,845,119 and a forecast deficit of around £271.000 lor the year lo 31st March 2025. 10-

Managing Rlsks to our business During 2023-2024 we adhered to our Fisk management policy which follows the risk management mc)del recommended by the Charity Commission in its publication Charities and Risk Management ICC26- 2010). During 2023-2024 we reviewed and continue lo regularly review our risk management policy. The CEO, Deputy CEO, Finance and Resources Manager. Head of People and Governance Manager, and Head of Performance and Impact mainlain and update the risk register and are responsible for ensuring that Iruslees arè aware ol risks. and that any agreed actions to mlligate risks are undertaken. These officers are also responsible lor ensurlng Ihat Business Continuity Plans are maintained and updated. Each Finance and Resources Sub-committee reviews the full risk regisler in detail and a summary of the major sks, with mitigating actions being taken. is presented at each fijll Board nEets'ng. Other sub-committees keep oversight of any risks relevant to their areas of responsibility. and contribute to ihe assessment and miligalion of any risks. For the year 2023-24 some of the highest rtsks lo the organisation h2ve related to the tost-of4iving crisis that has continued lo affect the country, linked to higher-than-normal inflationary pressures. Inevitably this has put pressure on our finances, bul most signifThnlly has affected our staff, the people using our services and the general public given the strong links beeen financial challenges and mtal health. As has been highlighted above, specific action has been taken lo support people who are experiencing financial pressures in response to this. Trustees have also been concerned inflationary pre55ures have been significantly higher than any contractual increases from our primary commissioners. which has been Ihe case for many years, but has been ex8cerbaled by unprecedented cost pressures in the last 12-months. The organisation has navigated this through careful budgeting and making efficiencies where possible. Although we are mindful of the importance of our commissioners balancing their budgets and making the besl use of public funds we feel that this is not a sustainable situation and does not priorilise the important preventative wk that the VCSE undertake, taking pressure off more expensive parts of the system. We have therefore been w01ng alongside our voluntary sector partners ID lobby for fair Increases and lo highfight the importance of preventative mental health support work. 11

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financlal statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whelher the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due lo fraud or error, and to issue an alit0S report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance bul is not a guarantee that an aLtdil conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will aNvays delect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if. Individual or in the aggregate. they ClNJld Teasonably be expected to influence the economlc decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instanS of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities. outlined above, to delect material misstatements in respect of irregularities. including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularib'es. including fraud, is detailed below. In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non- compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures induded the following.. Obtaining an underslandlng of the legal and regulatory frdmework that the charity operates in, focusing on those laws and regulalions that had a direct effect on the financial slatemenls and operations- Obtaining an understanding of the charity's policies and procedures on fraud risks, including knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud- and Discussing among the engagement team how and where fraud mwJht occur in Ihe financial slalements and any potential indicators of fraud through our knowtedge and understanding of the company and our sector- specific experience. As 8 result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incenlwes that may exist within the charity for fraud. We are also required lo perfoim specific proceduies lo respond to Ihe risk of management override. As a result of performing Ihe above, we identified the following areas as those most likely lo have an impact on the financial statements: health & safety. employment law. compliance with the UK Companies Act and Charities Act. 16-
WEST SUSSEX MIND West Sussex INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF WEST SUSSEX MIND In addition to the above, our ProdureS to respond to risks identtfied included the following: Making enquiries of management about any known or suspecled instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud,.

Challenging assumptions and judgemènts made by management in Iheir significant accountlng esttmales: and Auditing the risk of managerrEnt override of ntrol$. induding through testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness. Due to the Inherent limitations of an audit. there is an unavoidable risk that some material misstatements in the financial statements may not be delecled. even though the audit is properly planned and perfomied in accordance with the ISAS (UK). For instance, the further removed non-compliance is Irom the events and transactions reflected in the financial stalemenls, the less likely the audtlor is to become aware of it or to iecognise the non-compliance.
