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.

of staff negligence.

made against the Trust which is being handled by

**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.

accessed.

Trustees should be aware that it will be important
to provide users of the accounts with information
regarding how the pandemic has affected the

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

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 ?|| _7 | P a g e_ **Life Leisure Trust** ## **Audit Findings Report – Year Ended 31st March 2021** |**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.

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. _13 | P a g e_ ## **Life Leisure Trust Audit Findings Report – Year Ended 31st March 2021** ## **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. _14 | P a g e_ ## **Life Leisure Trust Audit Findings Report – Year Ended 31st March 2021** ## **4.11 Updates** ## **Charity Governance, Finance and Resilience Checklist** The Commission have designed a checklist which includes 15 questions charity trustees should be asking. This checklist can be used to review your charity’s effectiveness and provides updated guidance from the Charity Commission, ensuring charity trustees engage with and use finance guidance from the regulator to run their charities effectively. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/charity-trustee-meetings-15-questions-you-should-ask ## **Charity Commission Annual Return** The Charity Commission Annual Return includes new questions which you can now view before you log in. Certain questions that were optional in 2018 are now compulsory. The link below provides guidance on the questions asked, how to answer them and what information is shown to the public on its register. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/charity-annual-return-2018 ## **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. _15 | P a g e_ ## **Life Leisure Trust Audit Findings Report – Year Ended 31st March 2021** ## **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. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/how-to-report-a-serious-incident-in-your-charity ## **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. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/protect-your-charity-from-fraud#tackling-charity-fraud-8-guiding-principles _16 | P a g e_ **Life Leisure Trust Audit Findings Report – Year Ended 31st March 2021** ## 5 **Reconciliation of management accounts results to the financial statements** We have set out below a reconciliation of the results disclosed in the draft financial statements to the management accounts/ trial balance prepared by the client, as approved and authorised by the trustees during the audit.

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. |Post-year end credit note relating to pre-year end
