A Life for a Cure The Old School Wood Lane Clapton In Gordano Bristol BS20 7RQ

Dear Michelle,

Audit for the year ended 31 December 2022

Nature and scope of the audit

I have been asked by you, as a trustee of a Life for a cure, to audit the financial position and the related statement of activities for the years ended December 2022. The objective of the audit is to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.

In accordance with the Ethical Standards imposed upon me, I must ensure that my independence is always maintained to enable me to form an objective opinion on the truth and fairness of the unaudited summary report.

This audit includes an assessment of whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the association’s circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed, and to comment on the overall presentation of the financial report.

Opinion on financial statements

In my opinion the treasurer’s report:

• give a true and fair view of the state of the association's affairs as at 31 December

• 2022 and of its surplus for the year then ended; and

• have been properly prepared in accordance with a cash accounting basis.

• The overall presentation of the financial report is clear and legible and suitable for the requirements of the Association and for audit purposes.

Yours faithfully

Emma Baldwin ACMA

Appendix 1 – Outcome of my work in the key areas of audit focus

Risk	Work undertaken	Outcome
Incoming resources A significant proportion of income is made up of donations, which are incoming transactions from just giving, cheques received and direct bank transfers.	I checked the amount payed in into the bank account matched that recorded that has been recorded as income on the financial statements for year ended 31 December 2022.	The income matched that recorded on the bank statement, plus a release of prior year debtor. It is difficult to test whether this accounted for all the income because I have little knowledge whether cash donations were received or if this accounted all donations. Fund raising activities included a ladies fitness day, a hockey tournament, a rugby event and the trustee running a marathon. No issues arose from the work undertaken and given the level of activity I am satisfied that the income does reflect that of the fund raising activities and events in the year. The interest on the financial statements matched that on the bank statements for the year ended 31 December 2022.
Expenditure The expenditure is largely through the bank account using a mixture of DD’s, S/O’s and bank transfers.	I checked that the expense recorded on the financial statements for year ended 31 December 2022 matched the money payed out of the bank account. I did check the largest invoices and receipts which were paid matched those on the bank account and report.	The expenses on the bank account did match those recorded on the financial statement plus a prior year adjustment for accountants fees for £480.00 and an in year adjustment for expenses incurred in the year but not paid until after the year end totalling £2,833.11 which debited the bank account during 2023. I asked for receipts for the two largest payments, £3000 and £800 respectively and these were provided and corresponded to the events in the year. All other expenses were minimal amounts and averaged under £50 per transaction. There is inherently some risk surrounding the purchases and payments with a sole account holder, but I am satisfied that the costs are largely in line with the purchases for the fundraising events.

Risk	Work undertaken	Outcome
Monthly Financial Statements	I checked the year end balance on the excel report reconciled to the balance on the financial statements for year ended 31 December 2022. I also checked the opening and closing balances on the excel reports reconciled to the opening and closing balance on the NatWest bank statements.	I am satisfied that the year end downloaded statements match the financial statements and the opening and closing positions on the accounts are all in agreement. The start positions on the downloaded statements initially did not match that on financial statement, but details of an £3,620 difference from the actual closing bank balances was explained as an adjustment of £4,100 to income (clearing a prior year debtor), and £480 to expenses (reversing out our accountancy accrual). PDF copies of the bank statements support the downloaded excel version in both the opening and closing balances on the downloaded bank transactions.
