2 Audit/Accounting Issues – Prior Year

No	Issues	Management Response	Management Response
1	Property Maintenance Accrual During the audit it was noted that the Trust has recognised an accrual regarding the maintenance work for various properties it operates from. Current procedures require all work to be booked through Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council, this has resulted in a significant delay in the Trust receiving invoices for the expenditure incurred. Can the trustees confirm if any purchase invoices for the works have been received since the audit date?		Invoices coming from the council are always slow at coming across. The accrual has been calculated in line with purchase orders raised. The accrual will be monitored to ensure its accuracy. 2021 Interim Audit Update No changes to note, there is still a significant delay in timing in purchase invoices being received from the Council with a large accrual remaining in the balance sheet. There are currently discussions regarding the council taking control of the maintenance function in future periods. 2021 Final Audit No changes to note.
2	Insurance claim During the audit it was noted that an accident occurred at the Ebbw Vale Sports Centre as a result of staff negligence. We understand that a claim is expected to be made against the Trust which is being handled by the Trust’s insurance providers. Can the trustees confirm if there have been any		The Trust has not received any claim relating to this accident to date. Staff have been managed in line with the Trusts policies for dereliction of duty with additional controls, training and documentation being introduced. 2020 Final Audit Update The Trust has not received any claim relating to this accident to date. 2021 Interim Audit Update

	further developments?		The matter remains with the charity’s solicitors. 2021 Final Audit Update No changes to note.
3	COVID-19 The current situation regarding Covid-19 could have significant impact on the charity. The Trustees Report will need to make specific references to the issue, we have provided the relevant detail in the form of a checklist detailing what needs to be included. As auditors we are required to understand the impact Covid-19 will have on the charity not just in respect of the immediate situation but the ongoing knock on effect for the 12 months following the signing of the audit report. Going concern assumes that the charity will still be able to operate post COVID-19. Can the trustees explain the plans they have in place if the lockdown is extended for the foreseeable future? Can the trustees also confirm whether the budget is reasonable given what is currently known about COVID-19?		The Trust closed its doors on the 20th of March 2020 and although most of our building have re-opened their doors, services have been reduced and income lost. The Trust has been successful in sourcing various grant funding streams to mitigate the losses. Financial accounts at the end of September are now Forecasting a close to breakeven position at the end of March 2021. We have also received communication from the Welsh Assembly Government via Blaenau Gwent that losses will be covered by the Welsh Assembly up to the end of March 2021. 2021 Interim Audit Update There charity have accessed the Welsh Government Hardship Fund, furlough scheme and rates relief. At the end of January the charity had over £2m contained in cash at bank and has generated a surplus of £588k. 2021 Final Audit Update Operations have resumed post year end with funding continuing to be accessed. Deficit made in 2021 relates to FRS 102 defined benefit pension scheme adjustments. Once added back an unrestricted operational surplus has been

2 Audit/Accounting Issues – Current year

We have completed the audit of the charity’s accounts in line with approved Auditing Standards. We anticipate issuing an unqualified audit report subject to the satisfactory resolution of the matters outlined below.

No	Issues	Management Response
1	COVID-19 and Trustees Report Trustees should be aware that it will be important to provide users of the accounts with information regarding how the pandemic has affected the organisation. When preparing their trustees’ annual report, charity trustees may wish to consider: • In reporting the main achievements of the charity explaining how the virus control measures affected the charity’s activities • Taking the opportunity to explain any financial uncertainties regarding the charity’s financial sustainability and consideration of going concern and the steps being taken to address these uncertainties • Explaining how the contribution of

	fundraise and how the trustees managed
	this situation
•	How the outbreak of the virus has
	affected staff, volunteers and beneficiaries
	and the implications for the charity’s
	operations and activities for the coming
	year
•	How the financial and operational effects
	of the virus and the control measures
	relating to the virus affected the principal
	risks and uncertainties facing the charity
	during the reporting period
•	Give consideration whether there are any
	implications for any existing or potential
	defined benefit pension liability and
	investments the charity holds

	• Consider the likely impact of the virus control measures and potential duration of the control measures on the future aims and activities of the charity • The impact of the virus related control measures on any wider network of which the charity is a part and how this affects the charity’s operations To be discussed.
2	Results The group has made an unrestricted loss before the loss on the defined benefit pension scheme of £258,103. As at 31st March 2021 the group had unrestricted reserves of a negative £6,989,201 of which £7,835,000 relates to the defined benefit pension deficit. Removing the annual pension adjustments, the group made a surplus of £526,501 of which £442,125 related to unrestricted funds. The free reserves of the group totalled £787,141. We understand an unrestricted deficit is predicted to be made in 2021/22. Can the trustees confirm the current results to date ?

3	Pension Scheme During the audit and a review of the board minutes it was noted that the charity’s contractual agreement with the council notes they only act as a guarantor regarding the LGPS for a period of 3 years. It was noted that if the council decides not to act as guarantor, the charity could not continue to fund the LGPS as a member and the charity would have to provide an alternative pension provision to employees. Can the trustees confirm if there have been any developments with the above?
4	Expression of Interests During the audit and a review of the board minutes it was noted the charity have submitted an expression of interest for the following: • Plas Menai • Sophia Gardens Gym • Pendine Sands Can the trust confirm if there has been any development with the above?

3 ISA 265 - Control Issues/Recommendations

The nature and extent of our audit procedures varies according to our assessment of the charity’s accounting and internal control systems and may cover any aspect of the business operations that we consider appropriate.

Our audit is not designed to identify all significant weaknesses in the charity’s systems but, if any such weaknesses come to our attention during the course of the audit that we think should be brought to your attention, we shall report them to you.

The following matters were raised in the interim period:

No	Description of Weakness	Risk Arising	Recommendation		Management Response
1	Purchase Orders During the audit it was noted that purchase orders are being raised after the date of purchase invoices. This was first noted in 2018 with issues noted from this date to the 2021 interim audit.	Understatement of expenditure within the financial statements.	Purchase orders to be raised before expenditure is made.		Managers are regularly reminded of the importance of raising purchase orders at the time goods/services are requested. 2021 Final Audit Update No changes to note, purchase orders continue to be raised after the invoice date.
2	Income Recognition During the interim audit and the testing of income, it was noted that there were sales invoices raised in the current	Income recognised in the incorrect year.

4 Other Matters

4.1 Post balance sheet events

Are the trustees aware of any post balance sheet events?

4.2 Related party transactions

Other than those already disclosed in the in the financial statements are the trustees aware of any other material related party transactions. Please note the ‘immediate family’ terminology has been replaced with ‘persons closely associated’ and includes spouses, dependent children or a relative who has lived in the same house for more than a year.

4.3 Contingent liabilities

Are the trustees aware of any contingent liabilities at the year end?

4.4 International Standard on Auditing (ISA 570) – (Revised September 2019) Going concern The revised ISA came into effect for periods beginning on or after 15[th] December 2019.

The revised standard increases the work which auditors are required to undertake when auditing the going concern status of an entity. It is the trustee’s responsibility to determine if the organisation is a going concern and our responsibility to review the assessment. Increased testing is required to be performed on the charity’s assessment of the going concern basis of accounting. Documents such as up to date financials, board minutes, budgets and cashflow forecasts are required to be provided to evidence the trustee’s assessment of going concern.

12 | P a g e

Life Leisure Trust Audit Findings Report – Year Ended 31st March 2021

4.5 International Standards on Auditing (ISA 540) – (Revised December 2018) Auditing Accounting Estimates and Related Disclosures

The revised ISA came into effect for periods beginning on or after 15[th] December 2019.

The updated objective requires audit procedures to address whether both the accounting estimates and related disclosures are reasonable (rather than simply adequate) in the context of the financial reporting framework.

Enhanced documentation will be required, particularly around:

• understanding the entity;

• the link between audit risks and audit procedures;

• the response if management procedures are inadequate;

• indicators of possible management bias and implications for the audit; and

significant judgements made when assessing whether or not estimates and disclosures are reasonable

4.6 Threats to independence and objectivity

At the planning stage any issues were communicated to the trustees who were satisfied that adequate safeguards are in place. Nothing has come to our attention to alter this view.

4.7 Section 393 Accounts to give true and fair view

The trustees of a charity must not approve accounts unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss –

• (a) In the case of the charity’s individual accounts, of the charity;

• (b) In the case of the charity’s group accounts, of the undertakings included in the consolidation as a whole, so far as concerns members of the charity.

4.8 Section 501 of the Companies Act 2006

In connection with representations and supply of information to us generally, we draw your attention to Section 501 of the Companies Act 2006 under which it is an offence for anyone to recklessly or knowingly supply information to the auditors that is false or misleading or to fail to provide information requested promptly.

4.9 Fraud

It is the trustee’s responsibility to implement a framework of internal control that actively prevents and detects fraudulent activity. Our responsibility as auditor is to consider fraud risk to the entity and to conduct audit procedures work that would give us a reasonable expectation of detection of any material fraud only. To this end we have considered key controls in place within the organisation that contribute towards the prevention and detection of fraud and conducted any other work that we consider necessary to provide us with assurance that the financial statements are free of material fraud.

Our work as auditor is not intended to identify any instance of fraud of a non-material nature and should not be relied upon for this purpose. In the event that the trustees wish to obtain enhanced assurance with regard to the effectiveness of internal control in preventing and detecting fraud we would be happy to provide additional services. Within our firm we have individuals with specific counter-fraud expertise gained within a variety of industry sectors. We can offer specific counter-fraud reviews and consultancy in addition to tailored counter fraud assessment tools.

Note: Trustees have a statutory duty to report fraud to the Charity Commission.

4.10 Materiality

The materiality applied to our work was £75,000 and was calculated by reference to a range of indicators including the charity’s income, expenditure and gross assets. Our reporting threshold, under which errors are not reported to the Board was £3,750.

Charity Governance, Finance and Resilience Checklist

Charity Commission Annual Return

Seminars

We are always looking for new topics that you might find of interest for seminars or hot topic sessions. If there is an area you would like covered please let us know.

Publication of Charity Trustee Names

From 1 April 2020 the names of all charity trustees will be displayed on the Charity Commission website. As trustees have a responsibility for the management and administration of their charity, this move is seen as a way of ensuring that they remain accountable to the public.

Some trustees may feel that publication of their name may endanger their physical or mental safety, and are able to apply for a dispensation from having the details published. Applications for a dispensation should be made to Commission setting the reasons why publication of their name could place them in danger. Once granted dispensations will be reviewed every five years.

Serious Incidents

The Charity Commission updated its guidance on Serious Incident Reporting in October 2018, with a particular focus on the reporting of safeguarding serious incidents following recent high-profile incidents in the charity sector.

Should a serious incident occur in a charity, trustees are expected to follow the correct processes to manage the incident and report it to the appropriate authorities, including the Commission as the charity regulator. The Commission’s role is to ensure that trustees take appropriate steps to limit the immediate impact of the incident and prevent it from happening again. The link below provides the full guidance issued by the Commission and details on how to report.

Fraud

Like any other sector, charities are not immune to criminal abuse from fraudsters. Fraud poses a serious risk to valuable funds and sensitive data, and can damage the good reputation of charities, affecting public trust and confidence in the sector as a whole.

Fraud awareness week took place in October 2019 from which the Commission produced 8 guiding principles on tackling charity fraud. The link below provides the full guidance issued by the Commission as well as access to a Charity Fraud Awareness Hub.

6 Schedule of unadjusted differences

The responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud or error is that of the trustees. The objective of our audit is to express an opinion on the financial statements.

We plan our audit so that we have a reasonable expectation of detecting material misstatements in the financial statements or accounting records (including those resulting from fraud or error) but our examination should not be relied upon to disclose all such material misstatements or frauds or errors.
