Upbeat Communities Trnste￿, Report R¢5erve5 policy For Upbeat Communilies Trustee5, consideration of the level of reserves that the charity needs to hold. and how to"" acquire them, ss an important part of planning and of sound financial management. These levels need to be appTopriate to the chariry at all stages in its existen¢¢. Finding a balance between reserye levels that are too high (thus tying up money that should be Spent on charitable a￿1vItieS) or too low (risking the future of the charity's existence) is uppertll05t in our minds. There is an ongoing Trustee dialogue io achieve sufficient reserves io give the charity robustness in difficult times, Whil￿ also offering fviure investment potential to allow growth. Since 2017, the Upbeat Reserves Policy has been reviewed and utdated annually by Upbe3r Tn]stees. Typically, the target level of reserves has been based around a reasonable 4 month5, Worth of costs (allowing 5ervic¢s ro be maintained in the event of funding blockages). This ha5 been achieved whilst the ¢harity ha% grown to circa £IM turnover in 2023124. i.e. a5 the cost5 associated with the charity have grown. The numbeTS as at 3 1st March 2024 were,. free reserves of £275,171, representing 3.7 rnonth5 of expecied costs. Upbeat reserves are achieved from residual income from small number of funding 50ur¢es. togerher with interest earned on cash held in the bank. The sources of unrestricted funding currently include, but aren't lirnited to.. Resettlemeni Projects, DLS. Upbeat Cl¢an, Lndividual giving and annual fundraising activities. Upbeat Trustees uphold fully their legal duties in respect of charity reserves. i.e. those assets in the unresthcted fimd, whhch the Charity tnistees have, or can make available. to apply for all or any of its purw)ses, once they have provided for the Gomrnitmontr of the charity and It'"￿ Oth¢r" planncd cxpcndiiure. following the CC guidance. we. as Tru5tee& wntinu¢ to review this poli¢y ¢ar¢fvlly. considering the Charity'5 financial sianding in respect of reserves. Upbeat co￿￿w]ities curreni approach to reserves is: • Maint¢nance of 4 (rninimum) to 6 (preferred) months of operating costs. to provide stsbility to service delivery in the ¢v¢nt of issues affecting the maintenance or securing of funding . Continuing to support the development of UEL through its initial ￿0**th and con501idaiion phase Balancing the riskl rewardl liquidity factors when considering where io invest Teseryes Consideration of an appropriate sum, which could be used im ihe circumstances of winding up the charity. meeting the charity's outstanding financial commitments.

These fr¢e r¢serve5 includ¢ short-ierni investh)ent b#lxn¢es, ¢&th and other working wlital balances. The reserves will continue to be built frorn th¢5e Sources.

Upbeat CommuDities Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Upbeat Communities l¥regularities, including fraud. are instsnces of nOn-￿T￿pIlanCe with laws and regulations. W¢ design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misststements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. Th¢ ¢xtent to which our proceduies are capable of deteciing irregularities. including fraud is detailed below. The extent to which the audit was fon5idered capable of detecting irregularities iNeluding fraud Our approach to identifying and assessing ihe risks of merial mi55wement in respecr of i￿egular1tieS. including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulatio￿ was as follows.. Ihe engagement partner ensured that the engagement team colleciively had the appropriate compet¢n¢e, capabilitie5 and skills io identify or recognise non-cornpliance with applicable laws and regulations. we identified the laws and regulations applicable to ihe group through discussions with directors and other management. and from our commer¢ial knowledge and experience of the charity sector. we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a dire¢t tnaterial effect on the financial sthtements or the operations of the company. kncluding the Companie5 Act 2006, Charities Act 2011, data proieciion. anti-britxry. employmenL environmental. fire safety and health and safety legislation., we assessed the exrent of cornplian¢e with the laws and regulations identifled above thrnugh making enquiries of management. reviewing licenses. certificates and relevant correspondence including the inspection of legal correspondence. and ident2fLed law5 ond regulations were COTnmuniced wiihin the audtt ieam regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non4ompliance throughout the audit We assessed the susceptibility of the group'$ financial ststem¢nts to material mi$5tatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by.. making enquiries of management as w where tlw considered there wa5 susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud. and considering the intemal controls in place lo miligat¢ risks of fraud 8nd non-wrnpliance with laws and regulation5. To address the risk of fraud through Tnanagement bias and override of controls. we.. perfomed ana1￿1£al pro¢edures to tdeniify any unusual or Unex￿1￿ relationships; tested journal entries to identify unusual trartsactions- assessed whether judgements and assurnptions made in detenninkng the accounting estimates were indicativ¢ of potential biu. and investigated the ￿lOnal¢ behind significani or unusual transactions. In resp()nse to (he risk of irregularities and non40mpliance with laws and regulation5. we desiwKd procedures which included, but were not limited io.. agreeing financial sta(ement disclosures to un¢knlying supporting documentaiion- reading the minures of meeting5 of those charged with governance. enquiring of management as to actyal and poieniial litigation and claims. and reviewing Co￿eSpOndenCe with HMRC, relevant regulators and the company'5 legal advisor5.

Upbeat Communities Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Upbeat Communities There are inherent lirnitations in our audii procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial trdnsaclions. the less likely it is ihai we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing stsndards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non•compliance with law5 and regulations to enquiry of th¢ directors and other mana(pemeni and the inspection of regulatory and It￿1 correspondenc¢, if any. Material mis5talernents that arise due to fravd can be harder io detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

Where necessary. adjustments ar¢ made to the fjnancial ststements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies inio line with those u5¢d by the group. The purCh￿e method of accouniing is used w a￿oUnt for business combinations that result in the acquisition of subsidiaries by the group. The cosi of a business combination is M￿￿red as the fair value of the assets given, equity insrruments Issued and liabilities incU￿ed or assumed ar the date of exchange. plus costs directly attributable to the business combination. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilitl¢s and contingent liabililies assumed in a business combination are measured initially ai their fair values at the acquisition date. Any excess of the cost of the business combination over the acquirer's ini¢rest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and ¢ontingent liabilities recognised is r￿Orded as %￿dWIll. Inter-company transactions. balances and unreali5ed gains on tyansa¢tion5 ￿tw¢¢n the charity and its subsidiaries. which are related parties, are eliminated in ￿]1. Intra-group losses are also eliminated but may indÉcate an impairnient that requires recognition in the con501idated rinancial statements. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group. Non-conrrolling interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiarbes ale identified separately from the group's equiry therein. Non-controlling interests consist of the amount of (hose inreresis at the date of the original busines5 combinatÉon and the non40ntrolling shaieholder's share of changes in equity Since the date of the combination.
