OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims
The charity was set up by the Nuffield Provincial Hospitals Trust in 1955 to provide a medical service to the industry growing up in Harlow New Town. This pre-dated the existence of a district General Hospital in the area. In the Articles of Association the objectives of the company are:

To advance the physical and mental welfare of the working population by the prevention and cure of occupational illness, diseases and injuries and to promote the general health of workers.
-
To provide services for medical treatment/care to assist full restoration to health.

The benefits include:
-
Reduced sickness absence rates and associated costs
-
- Compliance with Government Legislation
-
- Management and reduction of work related stress
-
Healthier workforce
Our occupational health professions use their expertise to advise both employers and employees of risks to health and how best to avoid these. As well as providing all routine occupational health services, we have capabilities to undertake through partnerships the following:

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Public benefit
Harlow Occupational Health Service works in collaboration with other service providers to maintain their facilities and services to all. They work to charging amounts that the vast majority of people can afford and therefore their fees do not prevent people from accessing the services or facilities. Voluntary organisations are able to access free first aid training.
Premiums are paid for by others for example; as a benefit provided under condition of employment.
People in poverty are not excluded from the opportunity to benefit. Subsidised rates are offered for First Aid Training and Health Assessments.
The benefits to the public are set out in the Charities Objectives and Activities.
Harlow Occupational Health Service works closely with its clients to educate and advise on how to prevent workplace injury and treat those with work related illness. We currently provide our services to over 450 local businesses and have provided such services since 1955.
Our services have undoubtedly had a positive impact on the number of work days lost due to ill health and workplace injury. We believe our services have had a positive effect on the financial status of the companies we serve, as well as the economy. A reduction in lost productivity days directly leads due to a reduction in lost taxes for the government, reduced NHS costs and reduced payment of benefits to those who are unable to work due to long term health issues, very often work related.
Social investment
The Company has a policy to support all staff in enhancing their skills and work and in their social life. If any member of staff wishes to attend a course that is relevant to their work, then this is scheduled throughout the year. The nursing staff are supported continually with their on-going medical accreditation. In particular over the next couple of years with the changing requirements of the medical bodies requiring proof of training and evidence of on-the-job situations which merited recording.
With the current staff of 12, there are two employees who are full-time. Staff choose to work hours that enable them to have a satisfactory home life, and at the same time covering the requirements of the business to ensure a good service is given to our clients.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
Over the past two years we have been adapting to different work practices to adhere to the changing regulations with regard to Covid-19 social distancing.
Administrative staff worked on a rota basis to ensure adequate cover was available to service the business needs. Staff in the main worked in the office due to contact with clients, but some staff were able to work from home.
Doctor and nursing consultations continued by way of telephone or Zoom with face to face consultations commencing when government guideline permitted in May 2021.
Public services such as police forces and fire, used HOHS more due to difficulties with staff absences caused with Covid i.e restrictions on travel meant quarantine in other countries.
First Aid Training commenced slowly and a reduction in class levels was paramount. Reduced contact with others in the health centre was achieved by access via the external stairs.
Face coverings and temperature checks continue as a minimum to all clients entering the health centre. Staff face coverings continue when moving from work stations.
With the significant loss last year due in the main to Covid, it was encouraging that with the hard work from all the staff, nurses and doctors at HOHS, we have turned round the loss last year to a significant surplus of £40,141.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees (who are also the directors of Harlow Occupational Health Service Ltd 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) including Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland"
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.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of Harlow Occupational Health Service Ltd
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Harlow Occupational Health Service Ltd (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 October 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), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'.
-
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 October 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, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'; 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.
Page 5
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Harlow Occupational Health Service Ltd
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.
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.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Harlow Occupational Health Service Ltd
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.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
The objectives of our audit in respect of fraud, are; to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement due to fraud; to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatements due to fraud, through designing and implementing appropriate responses to those assessed risks; and to respond appropriately to instances of fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. however, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both management and those charged with governance of the company.
Our approach was as follows:-
Based on our understanding of the Charity, the industry and discussions with management we identified The Charities SORP(Financial Reporting Standard 102), Companies Act 2006 and UK taxation legislation.
We obtained an understanding of how the Company complies with these requirement by discussions with management and those charged with governance.
We assessed the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, including the risk of material misstatement due to fraud and how it might occur and whether there had been known instances of non compliance or suspected non compliance with laws and regulations.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK) we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of the financial statements of the financial statements, whether due to fraud and error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, misrepresentations, or intentional omissions.
Enquiries of management regarding compliance of Laws & Regulations and any known instances of non compliance,; Examining supporting documentation for all material balances, transactions and disclosures;
Evaluation of the selection and application of accounting policies;
Reviewing the appropriateness of journal entries made in the general ledger and other adjustments made in the preparation of financial statements;
Review of accounting estimates for bias.
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.

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 October 2021
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Expenditure and irrecoverable vat
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
Allocation and apportionment of costs
Costs of generating funds comprise the costs associated with attracting income and the costs of trading for fundraising purposes.
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to the such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the audit fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.
All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the Statement of Financial Activities on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly, others are apportioned on an appropriate basis e.g. staff costs by percentage of activity income and other costs by usage.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
| Freehold property | - Specialist workshop 50 years |
|---|---|
| Motor vehicles | - 20% on cost |
| Medical equipment | - 20% on cost |
Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
Financial Instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis
The charity reported a cash inflow of £40,141 (outflow 2020: £46,042) for the year, there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue. The trustees are of the view that on this basis the charity is a going concern.
