Flnanclal review
a. Golng concern
In August 2024, Wooknch Creative District Trust received a pledge of a significanl donation lo be paid over the
next years. This provKles the Trust Imth a secure financial basis to continue to traje over the next two years
and will allow a new strategic development plan to be impfemented to seLure the long-temi stable operating
mt>Jel for the Trust and ((s actmties.
As a resutt, and after making appropriate enquirie8, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charty
has adequate resources lo continue in operational existence for the foreseeable fLrture. For this reason, they
continue lo adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial 518tements. Further details regarding the
adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.

Audltors. responsibilities for the audit of th8 financlal gtstements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 151 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance wf(h
the Ad and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectNes are to obtain reasonablo assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free
from material misstslemenl, ￿ether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Audrtors, Report that includes our
opinlon. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
cordance with ISAS IUK) wll always detect a material mi8ststement when it exists. Mi$5tatements can arise
from fraud or error and are considered material if, ind1wdua1￿ or in the aggregate. they could reasonably be
exFected lo influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregul8ritse8, induding fraud, are Instsnces of nOn-c￿nplIance with laws and regulations. We deslgn procedures
in line wlh our responsibilf(ies, outlined above. lo detect material misslalemenls in respect of irregularf(ies,
including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularilies, including fraud is
detailed below.
Based on our understanding of the comp8ny and industry. we Klentif*d that the principal risks of rKJnwccmplian
with L3ws and regulations relaled lo industry sector regulations and unethical and prohibrted business practices,
and we ￿sIdered the extent lo which noncomplrance might have a material effect on the financial statements.
We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial
statements such as the Companies Act 2006, Char((ies Act 2011, Charty Commission and sector regulations,
and UK Tax Legislation. We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of
the financial Slatements (including the risk of override of conlrols}- Appropriate audit procedures in response to
these risks were carried. These prccedures included..
Discussions wlh management, including con8ider8tion of known or suspe¢ted instances of non<ompliance
Èh laws and regulation and fraud.,
Reading minutes of meetings of those charged wlh govemance.,
Obtaining and reading correspondence from legal and regulatory l)odies including HMRC.,
Identty'ng and lesling joumal entries..
Chalbnging assumptkJn$ and judgements made by management in their 8hJnificant accounting eslimates.
We also communicated relevant iderbtified lawE and regulations and potential fraud risk8 to all engagement team
members,. and remained alert lo any indK*ions of fraud or non-compliance wrth laws and regulations throughout
the audit.
There are inherent limitations In the audit procedures described above and the further removed rK)n-compliance
with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial slatemenls. the less likety
we would b￿Ome aware of it. Also, the risk of not delecling a material misstalemenl due to fraud is higher than
the risk of not detecling one resulting from error, as fraud may involve delibetale concealrnenl by, for example,
forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.
