Report of the Independent Audltors to tho I13 of city St George's Students. Union Oplnion We have audited the finanaal statements of Cty St George's SbJdents' un)n (the 'charitable company'l for the year ended 31 July 2024 vthich compnse the Statement of Financial Acbvttses. the Balance Sheet. the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the fina181 slatements. induding a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial porting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and Uniled lfjngdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepled Accounting Practice). In our opinion Ihe financial statements= give a true and fair view of the state of the charitsble companls affairs as at 31 July 2024 and of its incoming $oUr$ and apFSicalion of reSoUs. IrIlKIlng its income and expenditure, for the year then ended; have been property epar1 in acoydance with Unibj lQngdom General Accepted AcCnting Practi.. and have been prepared in accordance the requirements of Companies Act 2(K)6. Basis for opinlon We conducted our audit in accordan viith Internatital Standards on Auditing {UKI (ISAS {UKII and applicable law. Our reswnsibilities undef those standards are fvrther described in Ihe Auditors. responsibilities for the audit of the finanual statements secti(x) of our report. We a independent of the tharitable company in accordance vAth the ethical requirements Ihat are relevant to our audit of the finanaal stalements in the UK, induding the FRC'S Elhical Standard. and have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilitie5 in accordan these requirements. We telieve that the ewderKE we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis fcf our opinion. Conclusions relating to going concern In auditing the financial statements. we have concluded that the trustees. use of the going concem basis of accounting in the preparab'on of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have perfomed. have not identified any material uncertsinties relating to events or snditions thaL individually or collectively, may st signlficanl doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concom for a period of at legst twdve months from vthen the finoneial statements are authonsed for Iss. Our restM)nsibilities and the reswnsibilities of the trustees with resrect to going concem a described in the relevant sections of Ihis report. Other informatlon The trustees are responsible for Ihe other infnation. The olher infomialion comprises the inforniation induded in the Annual Report. other than the finanaal statements and our Report of Ihe Independent Auditors thereon. Our opinion on the finarKial statements does not cover the ollw infornatDn and. eXpt to the extent olherwse expliciuy staled in our report. we do not eXp$S ary fomi of assurance o)ndusion thereon. In conneclion bwth our audit of the finarual statements. wr respowbility is to read the other inf0matn and. in doino so. consider whether the other infoaOn is Material inconsistent with the finanual statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or other*Mse appears to be materially misstated. If we identrfy such malerial inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, are required to detemiine vthether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the finanoal ststements themselves. If. based on the work we have perfomied. we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other infomiation, 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 gtven in the Report of Ihe Trustees for the financ4al year for vknich the financial statements are prepared is con515tent with the financial ststements., and the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accdance vitth applicable legal requirements.

ResponsiEylities. the trustees {who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purwses of company lawl are resp)nsibbe for the preparation of the financAal statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. and for such intemal control as Ihe trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of ffinaal statements that are free from material misstatement. knther due to frdud (x error. In preparing Ihe financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the tharitable companrfs ability to continue as a going concem, disclosing. as applicable. matters related to 90ing conrn and using the going concern basis of accounting unle55 the Irustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations. CY have no realistTrc alternalive but to do so. Our rasponslblllties for the audit of the financial statements Our objeiveS are to obtsin reasonable assuran abt whether the financial statements as a ¢e are f from material misstatement. whether due to fraud or error. and to issue a Report of the Independent Audito that iludeS our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordan with ISAS (UK) wll athys detect a material misstatement vhn it exists. Misstatemenls can arise from fraud or error and a considered material rf. individually or in the aggregale. they could reasonably be expected to Influere the economic tJea&S ot users laken on the basis of Ihese finanoal statements. The extent to bthich our procedures are capable of delecling irregulaTilies. irKluding fraud is detsiled below.. . The Charitable c(panY is required to comply viith both company law and tharity law and. based on our knowledge of its activibes. identsfft"e(J that Ihe legal requiremern to accuraiety account for resm.cied fiJnOs was of key significan. We gained an understanding of how the charitable company complied th its legal and regulatory framework, including the requirement to opertY account for restricted funds. through discussion5 With management and a review of the d(mented Folioes. procedures and controls. The audit team, which is experienced in the audit of charities, rxMsidered the charitable company's SueptibIlity to material misslalement and how fraud may occur. Our considerations induthd the risk of management override. Our approach was to ched( that all restricted income vras properfy identified and separately aco)unted for ano to ensure that valid and appropridle vxperidiiuie vvab diarged lo reslriGted funds. This inGluded reviewng joum81 adjustrnents and unusual transactirms. There are inherent limitstions in the audit wwedures described above and. the further removed n0n-wmpllae with Saws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, Ihe less likety we would ttccme aware of it. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one results'ng from error. as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by. for examth, tsgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.
