The beneficiary authorities have ￿rtifIed that the distribution monies have been, or will be, spent in accordance with the objectives of the Charity.

They considered reports on monies disbursed to the recipient authorities and details of their expenditure, the performance of the Charrty's fund managers from both the managers themselves and the independent adviser. Future The market value of the fund investments has increased by 2.2 % in the year, mainly because of the performance of equities. compared with a decrease of 9.4 % in 2022-23. The decrease in 2022-23 occurred largely because during that year markets were adversely affected by the impact of the war in Ukraine on energy and commodity prices, other inflationary pressures and increases in interest rates made by ￿ntral banks. In practice, financial markets are always potentially volatile. In the long term the Trustees anticipate that the value of Ihe portfolio will grow, while at the same time continuing to provide the consistent stream of income which is required to facilitate the Charity's grant making objectives each year. Resèrves Polic In accordance with the Scheme of Administration, it is the policy of the trustees to distribute all net income received whilst maintaining sufficient reserves to meet administration expenses. Currently (at 31 March 2024) the endowment fund holds £10,599,1g4 (£10,369,957 at 31 March 2023) which is mainly represented by investments held and therefore the charity has no 'free' reserves (unrestricted general funds).

SECTION 5: INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT Opinion We have audited the financial statements of Edward Harvist Charity {the "Charty") for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial A¢tivities, Balan￿ Sheet and notes to the financial stalemenls, 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 Stsndards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102. The Financial Reporting Slandard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). In our opinion, the financial statements= give a true and fair view of the state of the Charity's affairs as at 31 March 2024 and of its income and expenditure forthe year then ended- have been properly prepared in accordance wrth United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; have been prepared in accordance with the raquirements of the Charities Act 2011. Basls for oplnlon We Gonduct8d our audit in accordance with Intem8tional Standards on Auditing (UK) {ISAs {UK}) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further descnbed in the Auditorfs responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Charity in accordan￿ with the ethi¢al requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK. including the FRC'S Ethical Standard, and the provisions available for small entities, 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 ¢oncern In auditing the financial statemenls, we have concluded that the Trustees, use of the going concem basis of a¢counting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material Un￿rtaInlieS relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity'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 ¢oncem are described in the relevant sections of this report. Other infomiation The other information comprises the infomation included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditorfs report Ihereon. The Trustees are responsible forthe other infomiation contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other infomiation and we do not exwess any form of assurance conclusion Ihereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, Gonsider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge oblained in the course of the audit, or otheThvise appears to be materially misstated. If we idenlify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misslalements, we are required to detemin& 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. 17

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT Continued Matters on which we are required to report by exception In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees, report. 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 our opinion.. the infonnation given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the Trustees, Report., or sufficient accounting records have not been kepl", or Ihe financial statements are not in agreement with the acGounting records- or we have not obtained all the information and explanations ne￿$sary for the purposes of our audit. Responsibilities of the Trustees As explained more fully in the Trustees, Responsibilrties Staternent set out on page 8, the Trustees 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 Gontrol as they 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 Charity's ability to continue as a going concern, dis¢losing, as applicable, matters related to going concern arKI using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the Char'ty or to cease operations, or have no realistic altemative but to do so. Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements We have been appointed under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. Our objeclives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from malerial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that indudes 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 rnisstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered rnaterial if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of thes8 financial statements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with OLJr responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misslalements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The exlenl to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below. Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows.. the engagement partner ensuied that the engagement leam colleclively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-complian￿ wilh applicable laws and regulations., we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the Charity through discussions with Trustees and other management, and from our knowledge and eXperIen￿ of the not-for-profit sector., 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 charity, including the Charities Act 2011, the Charities SORP 2019, and data protection, anti-bribery. employment, environmenlal and health and safety legislation; we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through makn'ng enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence.. and 18

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT Continued identified laws and regulalions w8re communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instan￿$ of non-compliance throughout the audrt. We assessed the susceptibility of the charity's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by.. making enquiries of Trustees and management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual. suspected and alleged fraud, 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 joumal entries to identify unusual transactions- assessed whetherjudgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias- and investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions. 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 slatement disclosures to underlying supporting docurnentation; reading the minutes of rneeting5 of the board of Trustees., enquiring of management as to adual and potential litigation and claims., and reviewing Corresponden￿ with HMRC, relevant regulators and the charity's18gal advisors. There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The rnore 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 Ihe audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the Truslees and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can LE harder to detect than those thal arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
