## **Joint Chair's Statement** 





## Ian Hutchcroft 

## Dave Garland PEC Trust PEC Renewables 

On the eve of the highly-anticipated UN Climate Conference (COP 26), there is no question that the challenges faced by humanity are immense. The impacts of global warming, once perceived by many as being far in the future or happening elsewhere, are upon us. **Instability, in its many forms, affects the most vulnerable and marginalised in society quickest and hardest. This is a critical time for social and environmental action.** 

Whilst we need our government to lead with ambitious meaningful policy commitments, they cannot do it all. Any form of transition to net zero, particularly a just transition, cannot happen without communities and we stand hopeful that this point may be slowly sinking in. We need to be ready for when government comes asking for our help and so it has never been more important for communities to define place-based solutions for this change. 

PEC is now a nationally-recognised and locally respected organisation. We are proud of the impacts this report documents, however we have done this without a supportive policy environment. As we complete the first year of ‘the decade to make a difference’, gaping policy vacuums remain, but we can **be confident that organisations like ours are more relevant than ever.** 

In the last 12 months, we have laid a firm foundation for our highly innovative approach to building truly affordable net-zero homes to become a reality. Our solar installations generate clean energy whilst providing a fair return for investors, saving essential funds for schools and supporting community projects. 





## Clive Turner Lee Richards PEC Homes Plymouth Energy Community 

With our largest solar farm now on the horizon, our community will own over a 1/3 of Plymouth's renewable energy. We continue to encourage conversations about the climate and ecological emergencies through school workshops and solar site visits and our incredible Moths To A Flame art project. This creativity has sent over 15,000 handmade moths and messages of hope to world leaders at COP 26. 

The evolution of our Energy Team has accelerated this year. Eleven advisors help us meet the growing demand for our home energy support services, driven in part by our reputation but sadly due to the economic hardships of Covid, rising bills and Universal Credit cuts, resulting in more people in fuel poverty. Our track record has secured new funds from the National Lottery Community Fund and Energy Redress and combined with strong partnerships such as Plymouth City Council and Livewell Southwest, we can now offer an holistic and person centred domestic energy support programme to improve insulation, ventilation, repairs, renewable forms of heat and power, income maximisation, referrals and so much more. 

**In the end, though, what is comes down to is people. People saying the status quo is not good enough and working hard for an alternative.** In 2013, we started with people power and it's still what drives us. Our committed team of 24 staff and 26 volunteer Directors / trustees tirelessly go above and beyond, with endless drive, empathy, compassion and care, always ready to find solutions. This report is a credit to them. 

**As we reflect on this incredible year, lets also take a deep breath and look forward to the next, knowing that together, we are enough.**

## **Household support** 

## **The Energy Team** 

PEC’s Energy Team is now an established and trusted intermediary for thousands of Plymouth households. In the last 12 months, we have seen a significant increase in demand for our services. more than 6.500 people have come to our friendly advisors for advice to resolve their energy issues 

Our work improves circumstances using a personcentred approach, offering assistance in a way that works best for the individual. From one-off calls on energy efficiency, to long and complex, multi-agency casework that can radically improve physical, financial and mental health. The team work with more than a hundred local agencies allowing us to address a broad range of issues that impact wellbeing, such as debt and a low income. Together, we have continued to secure long lasting benefits for the households we work with. 

We are seeing first-hand the economic impact of COVID falling harshly on households, combined with continuing austerity.  Over 50 % of clients come from low income families and over 90% are needing support from at least one welfare benefit. As a result, 2020 has seen an increased demand 


**----- Start of picture text -----**<br>

for our services and the severity of need is set to increase more with the cuts to Universal Credit and the huge increases in fuel bills for people this winter. 

Across the year, the number of households receiving one to one support from the team reached over 2,200, this has grown three-fold from 2020. The number of people calling us has increased by 33% and the number of people asking for support has more than doubled. Our increased ability to get support to those in need and crisis is a result of strong partnerships with Livewell Southwest’s Adult Social Care team, Citizen’s Advice Plymouth and Plymouth City Council. The breadth of work being delivered by the team is too extensive to document here but their work supporting the local distribution of the Government’s Covid Winter grants and Green Homes Grants provide good case studies. 

## **Covid winter grants** 

PEC has continued to play a vital role in the Plymouth’s response to Covid-19, working closely with partners and funders to reach people in the most vulnerable circumstances. For example. PEC was appointed by Plymouth City Council (PCC) to administer part of the Governments Covid Winter Grant scheme and through this we helped 930 households by paying some their winter bills, provided 415 households with emergency vouchers to top up meters and prevent disconnection, and distributed 382 essential energy efficient white goods to families unable to replace broken items.

## **Household support** 


PEC’s partnership with local provider HBH Woolacotts ensured any old appliances were recycled and where possible repaired before being redistributed free to others in need. All this was delivered in less than 4 months. 

We had many challenges to deal with, including short delivery timescales, supply chain shortages and escalating costs for building work. Even so, in less than 10 months, 127 households were helped to access 186 different home improvements including nine different methods of insulating, low carbon heating, solar PV and ventilation improvements. 

Through trialling a community led approach to retrofit, we have supported vulnerable households to access measures through building trust and providing person centred advice and support. We have also ensured the scheme benefits the local economy and delivers value for money, spending 42% of grant funds with SMEs based in Plymouth and 99% within the Plymouth and Devon areas. 

## **Green Homes grants** 

The end of 2020 saw us partner with PCC to secure over £3 million of Green Homes Grants investment into Plymouth. This was the biggest domestic energy retrofit programme Plymouth has ever planned.  Thanks to our track record, Plymouth was one of the first to benefit from this new national scheme to improve fuel poverty homes; with grants averaging £10,000 per household to install a broad range of efficiency, and renewable heat and power improvements. 

Government funds to retrofit fuel poor homes seem set to increase and PEC’s reputation means we are in a strong position to secure these for our city. We believe that a package of trusted, impartial, local-specific advice about homeowners retrofit options, matched with high quality local installers will be an essential component of the City’s transition to net zero and it has been encouraging to see government placing value  on this type of approach. 

## **An amazing story of hope** 

An elderly resident was referred to us with significant issues with his home, including rotting windows and doors, and concerns around debt. 

Working in partnership with Livewell Southwest & Citizens Advice Plymouth, the team enabled the following lifechanging improvements; a complete retrofit of his home, with cavity wall and loft insulation, new heating and ventilation systems, a deep clean, debts written off, including Council Tax  arrears, and access to nearly £100,000 of back pay from his unclaimed pension.

## **Creative engagement** 







## **Moths to A Flame** 

## **Solar Schools** 

When we first started collaborating with Art & Energy CIC in 2018, little did we know the magic that could happen when art meets energy! The inspirational Moths To A Flame project has brought thousands of people’s voices together in a creative collective 'call to action' for world leaders at the latest UN climate change conference (COP 26). Over 15,000 ‘moths’ have been individually made out of recycled milk cartons by people of all ages, at events, schools and home! It has sparked many conversations about climate change, our reliance on energy and how art can encourage participation in community energy organisations . 

We are continuing to work with Earth Energy Education to offer solar farm site visits and energy awareness workshops in local schools. Picking up after lockdowns, 233 students from 5 classes visited Ernesettle solar array over the summer months. In 2022, we will be taking 6 schools on site visits and offering 22 two hour workshops for all schools with community-owned solar on their roofs. These workshops help students explore renewable energy and climate action and we will also share resources with teachers to embed learning in their curriculum. 25% of teachers surveyed by Earth Energy Education do not cover climate change. We will be helping the with a variety of resources and after-school support. 

At the time of releasing this report, the moths are spectacularly displayed for the public and COP delegates in Glasgow Botanic Gardens. Accompanied by pre-recorded messages of hope, the installation symbolises our relationship with energy and the health of the planet. It’s been a heartfelt learning journey, from Plymouth, all over the UK, cumulating in Glasgow. After Glasgow, the moths will return to Plymouth for Illuminate and Plymouth Social Enterprise Festivals. We hope to continue our collaboration with Art & Energy CIC into the future (www.mothstoaflame.art). 

## **Community Events** 

With the easing of restrictions, our in-person drop-in advice and support events are ramping up again. Our Energy Team have been offering at least 10 events a month at various community venues. This provides an opportunity to reach people who are not online or who would not usually engage in a conversation about energy or realise that they can access help.

## **Zero carbon homes** 


We set up PEC Homes as a Community Benefit Society in 2020 to build affordable, high quality, well-designed, cooperative and sustainable housing development projects that can: 

- Be local flagships for innovation, Deliver community-owned, warm, affordable, desirable, net-zero homes, Demonstrate a replicable cost model, Deliver net-zero energy homes for which the total energy and maintenance costs are significantly less than business as usual. 

2021 has been a year of solid progress in laying the foundations that will enable our highly-innovative approach to building net-zero carbon homes to move forward. 

While circumstances beyond our control meant that we had to abandon our initial planning application for our site at Kings Tamerton, we have taken the opportunity to create a new masterplan (see below). We have now integrated our net-zero ambitions and wider One Planet Living design principles across a wider area with a total scheme of up 70 homes. A new application has now been submitted and we are hopeful that it will receive approval in December. 

Earlier in the year, we were contracted by Innovate UK to explore the market’s appetite for building homes using the innovative Energiesprong approach. Energiesprong is a straightforward, pragmatic and flexible approach, applicable to a wide range of situations and house types. It is not a

commercial product or brand; no company, product, technology or materials are specified, just the outcomes that everyone needs: warm, affordable, desirable, net zero homes. The Kings Tamerton project will be the first new-build project to use the Energiesprong approach in England, and so we needed to understand whether this was a realistic ambition. The research allowed us to demonstrate that there is significant interest in this approach and has helped us to embed the design, build and guarantee principles that we intend to use within our contracts. 

To help choose the team who will work with us to design and build the homes to the Energiesprong standards we halve secured funds to an exciting design competition which will see three candidates compete for the opportunity to work with us to build the homes by demonstrating how they will innovatively and creatively meet our net-zero requirements. 

To build innovative affordable homes we will require public subsidy, therefore we have started the process of becoming a Registered Social Landlord. This includes ensuring that we can demonstrate the high standards of governance and business planning required alongside strengthening our relationships with external bodies, such as Homes England. 

The key next steps for the project are shown in the graphic above.

## **Community-owned renewables** 


## **Existing solar installations** 

Our community-owned renewable energy installations include 33 solar roof tops on schools and community buildings across the city and our solar farm at Ernesettle.  These represent over 20% of the City's total non-domestic renewable generation capacity and over the last year these have generated a total of 5863MWh of clean energy, avoiding 1,244 tonnes of carbon emissions and saving £93,510 on the energy bills of local schools and community organisations. 

## **Chelson Meadow community solar farm** 

We are in the planning phase of our largest solar project yet and our first post-subsidies. We are working with Plymouth City Council to develop a community-owned solar farm on the old landfill site at Chelson Meadow (an area the size of 24 football pitches). It will: 

- Put local people in control over a key part of Plymouth's ambition to get to net zero emissions. 

- Put any surplus funds generated towards other local community projects that are responding to climate change and tackling fuel poverty. 


To date, we have carried out substantial feasibility studies and working with key stakeholders, thanks to the Rural Community Energy Fund. We have been engaging with the local community through in-person visits, online info events and a city-wide survey. 

We hope to submit a planning application shortly and start construction in late 2022. We aim to provide another opportunity for local residents and businesses to co-own this solar farm by investing in community shares. Investors will become members and will be paid a return on their investment. Visit - https://plymouthenergycommunity.com/our work/chelson-meadow for further information.

## **Financial summary** 

As a whole, the PEC family finances prove financial viability and longer-term sustainability. The numbers in the table below show the financial outcomes last year, compared to the previous year. They are in line with targets and show no significant variances to the latest financial models. 

As a family, we are developing a long-term financial strategy to include the community benefit donations from PEC Renewables and Ernesettle Community Solar. These will support the growth of PEC trust and its ability to deliver its charitable objectives. 

PEC Trust continued to acquire funding to support the development of the Kings Tamerton Zero-Carbon homes project, although new funding streams and procurement will gradually be undertaken by PEC Homes directly. PEC Community Benefit Society also provided some grant funding for the start up costs and overheads of PEC Homes.

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 June 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**

- To reduce greenhouse gas emissions 

- To ensure these activities benefit the fuel poor and most vulnerable 

## **Public benefit** 

The Trustees have considered the guidance issued by the Charity Commission in respect of the public benefit and confirmed through their activities and objectives that they adhere to this guidance. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

During 2020/2021 we have worked in the following areas 

- Maintaining a team of skilled Energy Advisors delivering a mix of energy and fuel debt advice either over the phone, in the home or within the community 

Delivery of the government Covid response grants and emergency fuel vouchers to the neediest within the community - Facilitating the uptake of energy efficiency improvements in properties across the city and in particular in the delivery of retrofit schemes 

- Exploring how community owned solar PV and heat pump businesses could increase the deployment of zero carbon heating solutions in residential and commercial properties

The success we have with each of these programmes is documented in our Annual Report and impact statement. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

The charity with the aid of sound financial management and the support of both its staff and volunteers generated a very positive financial outcome for the period ending 30 June 2021 with reserves of £423,409. The balance sheet shows that within the end year surplus, £128,651 Restricted Reserves funded by grant payments received ahead of spend. The Trustees have also designated reserves of £152,500 which leaves overall free reserves available of £142,258. 

## **Principal funding sources** 

The principal sources of funding have been a mixture of grants from Homes England, Energy Saving Trust, Plymouth City Council and others with contract income secured mainly from Western Power Distribution. The charity is always seeking new or additional sources of funding to not be reliant on too few funding sources.

## **Report of the Trustees For The Year Ended 30 June 2021** 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Reserves policy** 

The Restricted Reserves are listed below and include provision for income paid or granted in advance of spend where outstanding activities and commitments will be incurred or delivered in the following financial year and evidenced by the Grant Funding Agreements; 

Year ending 30th June 2021 Restricted Funds (Reserves) Restricted Funds: 

|Plymouth City Council Section 106 monies towards SunPeople project ( this figure is after deducting||
|---|---|
|unfunded spend from the EU funded Sun People project)|£19,108|
|Homes England Community Housing Fund Grant. Unspent monies over 2 years|£3,315|
|Redress PCC match funding|£39,217|
|Power to Change, Next Generation. Unspent monies over 2 years|£25,179|
|Covid emergency Credit|£2,507|
|Covid Winter Grant|£5,511|
|Heat Pumps MSC|£10,000|
|Moths to a Flame|£23,814|
|**Total Restricted Funds**|**£128,651**|



Our designated reserves position: Year ending 30th June 2021 Unrestricted Funds (Reserves) Designated Funds: 

|Management support costs 6 months eg leadership, governance, finance, marketing|£80,500|
|---|---|
|General Overheads eg IT, advertising/marketing/events|£10,000|
|Redundancy cost provision ( under current PCC SLA)|£17,000|
|Future major event TUPE transfer: HR and legal costs provision|£25,000|
|Future major event TUPE transfer: Provision for post transfer ongoing liabilities such as pension costs|£20,000|
|**Total Designated Funds**|**£152,500**|



Within the unrestricted reserves we have set aside, under a Designated Reserve, to provide financial stability and the means for the development of our principal activity. We intend to maintain our reserves at a level which will cover all running costs for a period of 6 months, £77,466 based on 2021 accounts (rounded to £80,500 in the figures above) while finding sources of additional funding. Whilst the net free reserves position is £142,258 the Board of Directors will make at least £50,000 of this sum available in the new financial year to secure additional staff resource. 

The Board reviews the amount of reserves that are required quarterly to ensure that they are adequate to fulfil our continuing obligations. This duty is fulfilled as part of the receiving and consideration of quarterly management accounts. 

The reasons for the level of reserves required are; 

(a) PEC Trust is a newly formed charity and low reserves may threaten a charity's continued existence, presenting a risk of insolvency or deter potential donors from donating if its viability is under threat. 

(b) Insufficient reserves may cause the charity to spend much time and effort dealing with the problems of insufficient working capital rather than getting on with the main purposes of the charity which may hinder planning and development of its prime objectives. 

The Board of Trustees will keep the level of unrestricted reserves under review each year to avoid conflict with the need for a charity to apply its income within a reasonable time and not to create an unnecessary level of reserves at the expense of its beneficiaries either current or future. 

In additional to the above this year the Board wish to designate a further £25,000 reserves in preparation for additional costs (HR/legal) that PEC Trust may incur in becoming a direct employer and completing a Transfer of Undertakings with staff currently employed by Plymouth City Council. The Board of Trustees are in the early stages of discussion and formal process with the Council so the actual detail is not yet mapped out. However it is anticipated that with terms and conditions transferring from the Council, that the provision for pension or future redundancy costs will require additional sums set aside so the Board have also set aside £20,000 for this. 

The Board considers these reserves to be prudent and fit for purpose to ensure that PEC Trust continues to achieve the success that it does and continues its growth in community energy sector.

**Report of the Trustees For The Year Ended 30 June 2021** 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Going concern** 

The charity plans to continue the activities outlined above in the forthcoming years subject to satisfactory funding arrangements. The charity will continue to grow and nurture the PEC family brand and ethos in the quest to deliver its objectives and maximise the benefit to the public and communities. 

The impact of COVID-19 has been assessed and there will be minimal impact as funding is still being received. The only issue is that there may be delays with starting and completing projects. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document** 

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. 

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 14th September 2018 and registered as a charity on 4th June 2019. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1. 

## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** 

The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law. Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association the composition of the Board provides for not less than three and no more than twelve directors; 

- Up to six directors elected from the members 

- Up to one director as representative appointed by Plymouth City Council or any successor body 

- Appointed as a director ex officio the holder of the office of Chief Executive (This has not been implemented at this stage) 

- Up to four directors appointed by the Board by co-option 

The Board may also at any time fill a casual vacancy on the Board by co-option. At the first annual general meeting all directors were required to stand down. At subsequent annual general meetings one third of the elected directors shall retire from office, being the longest serving ones. Co-opted directors shall retire at the annual general meeting but be eligible for further co-option 

All directors give their time voluntarily and there is no remuneration paid 

## **Induction and training of new trustees** 

The more traditional business skills are well represented on the Board. In the event of particular skills being lost due to retirements, individuals are approached to offer themselves for election. 

Most trustees are already familiar with the practical work of the charity. The charity organises an Away day of the Board after each annual general meeting to ensure that new trustees are suitably inducted and familiar with the charities objects, policies and activities. This day covers the obligations of a trustee, the main documents which set out the operational framework for the charity including the Memorandum and Articles, resourcing and the current financial position as set out in the latest published accounts. 

Additionally, new trustees are invited to receive a briefing on the detailed finances and management accounts. 

## **Related parties** 

The charity forms part of a family of entities known as Plymouth Energy Community. They comprise of the following; Plymouth Energy Community Limited (Community Benefit Society 32108) PEC Renewables Limited (Community Benefit Society 32286) 

Ernesettle Community Solar Limited (Company limited by shares and wholly owned subsidiary of PEC Renewables 09892557)

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES** 

The trustees (who are also the directors of PEC Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

In so far as the trustees are aware: 

- there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and 

- the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information. 

## **AUDITORS** 

The auditors, Bromhead, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

**Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of PEC Trust** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of PEC Trust (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 30 June 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

In our opinion the financial statements: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 30 June 2021 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended; 

- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and 

- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. 

## **Basis for opinion** 

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report.  We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.  We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

## **Conclusions relating to going concern** 

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. 

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. 

## **Other information** 

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon. 

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, 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 given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and 

- the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. 

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees. 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you 

if, in our opinion: 

- adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or 

- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or 

- the trustees were not entitled to take advantage of the small companies exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the Report of the Trustees.

**Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of PEC Trust** 

## **Responsibilities of trustees** 

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

## **Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements** 

Our objectives are 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 a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion.  Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: 

The engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations. 

We identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with directors and other management and from our commercial knowledge. 

We focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company including, Companies Act 2006, Health & Safety at Work Act, Employment Law and data protection. 

We assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence. 

We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur by, making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud. Also, considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations. 

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls we performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships, tested. journal entries to identify any unusual transaction and assessed whether judgement and estimates were indicative of potential bias.. 

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documents, reading the minutes of meeting of those charged with governance and enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation claims. 

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. 

Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect that those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

## **Use of our report** 

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
