Structure, governance and management The appointment of trustees is governed by the CIO'S constitution, which provides for two ex-officio trustees who are, respectively for the time being, the Regimental Lieutenant Colonel of the Irish Guards and the Commanding OfPicer of the 1st Battalion Irish Guards, and for a minimum of three and a maximum of five appointed trustees. A quorum must comprise three trustees or such larger number as the trustees may decide from time to time. Apart from the first trustees, every appointed trustee must be appointed for a term of five years by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the trustees, unless the trustees determine in the best interests of the CIO on appointment to appoint the individual for a shorter term, which shall not be less than three years. In selecting individuals for appointment as appointed trustees, the trustees must have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the CIO. The trustees oversee the operation of the charity, and the day-to-day administration of the charity is carried out by Major R J Wilmont MBE. The CIO has the powers set out in, amongst other provisions, Article 4 of its constitution. The trustees have assessed the risks to the CIO'S assets and are satisfied that sufficient controls are in place, and this will be subject to regular review.

Related parties There were no parties identified as related parties. Financial review A summary of the activities for the year is shown on the Statement of Financial Activities on page 12 of the accounts. During the year to 31 December 2023, the charity received £133,017 (2022: £753,499) of donations and £115,542 {2022: £123,301) of income on its investments. There was a net gain on investments during the year of £214,027 {2022: £605,608 Lossl which comprises a loss on disposal of £14,623 (2022: £356,291 lossl and revaluation gain of £228,65012022 £249,367 lossl.

Investment Pollcy The trustees will continue their policy of investing in secure investments in order to provide income for the Irish Guards Charity, to pursue the objectives contained in its constitution. Reserves Policy The board of Trustees regularly reviews the reserves policy in accordance with the charity's Strategic planning, operational decisions, budgeting and risk management processes. At every meeting, the Trustees can see the movement in reserves and therefore are aware of the level of reserves held by the charity. In addition, the reserves position is usually formally reviewed once a year when the annual report and accounts are approved. Page | 6

DovJsign Envelope ID.. D9B38F￿CFOE428o-9&9￿DOSA0l648FAl The Irish Guards Charty Financial risk management for the charity includes ensuring that there are sufficient liquid reserves to respond to an unforeseen event or emergency. The Trustees ensure that there are sufficient reserves to cover all committed outgoings for at least three months. The charity has a low fixed cost base, with all contracts either paid up-front for the year or able to be terminated within three months. The charity receives a steady income stream from its investment portfolio, and it is considered highly unlikely that this would cease immediately. There could however be a steady or sudden reduction in this and other income streams arising from events outside of the charity's control and sufficient liquid reserves should therefore be held to cover a stressed drop in income over a period of three months to cover termination notices for committed expenditure. As at 31 December 2023, the charity had cash of £87,787 {2022.. £70,201) and a further cash reserve of £8,89112022: £274,263) held within their investment portfolio and readily available to the charity. Average monthly expenditure on overheads in 2023 was £10,000. The three months average overhead cost was therefore £30,000. The charity maintained a direct cash coverage of approximately two to three times their three-month overheads throughout the year, only considering their current account cash. With the cash held in their investment portfolio also available in case of an unforeseen outgoing, the Trustees consider that the level of liquid reserves is sufficient to enable the charity to continue to operate despite any unforeseen reduction in income. Plans for Future Periods The Charity aims to continue in its stated objectives of providing assistance, financial support and relief to individ uals and institutions associated with the Irish Guards by way of regular grants. Trustees. responsibilities The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees, Report and the accounts in accordance with applicable law and regulations. The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable regulations). Under that law, the trustees must not approve the accounts unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Irish Guards Charity, and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the Irish Guards Charity for that year.

The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report.our opinion on the financial ststements 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. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, considerwhether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or othenmise appearsto 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. Matters on which we are required to report by exception We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in ouropinion: the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect wtth the trustees, report; or the charity has not kept adequate accounting records; or the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns. or we have not re￿iVed all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

D￿sign Envelope ID." D9838FO4CFOE4280-9B95-O05A01648FA1 The Irish Guards Charlty 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 an auditorfs report 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 wtth 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: Enquiry of management and those charged with governance about actual and potential litigation or claims a nd the identification of non-compliance with laws and regulation5. Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance. Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Auditing the risk of management override of controls, including testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness. Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud. Professional scepticism in course of the audit and with audit sampling in material audit areas. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
