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** ENV69487924-3154-BAEA-8593-EBEF 11/03/2023 21:10 PM UTC ## **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.| ENV69487924-3154-BAEA-8593-EBEF 11/03/2023 21:10 PM UTC |**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.| ENV69487924-3154-BAEA-8593-EBEF 11/03/2023 21:10 PM UTC ## **Envelope Data** Subject: A Life for Cure Audit Documents: a Life for Cure Audit_2022.docx Document Hash: 28708995 Envelope ID: ENV69487924-3154-BAEA-8593-EBEF Sender: Emma Baldwin Emma Baldwin Sent: 11/03/2023 21:07 PM UTC Status: Completed Access Authentication: None Status Date: 11/03/2023 21:10 PM UTC Email Access Code: Unchecked Email Verification: Not enabled ## **Recipients / Roles** |Name / Role|Email|Type| |---|---|---| |Emma Baldwin Emma Baldwin|emma@zing365.co.uk|Sender| |Emma|emmabaldwin@hotmail.co.uk|Signer| |Michelle Bresnahan|michelle@zing365.co.uk|Cc| ## **Document Events** |Name / Roles|Email|IP Address|Date|Event| |---|---|---|---|---| |Emma Baldwin Emma Bald
