FUTURE PLANS

with the Officlal Custodian and reglstering Thoma5 Robert Gardens with HM Land Registy, developing the fi'xed
asset register and treatment of capilalisation and depreciation.
Wot* on the review of risk management 8rranggmenls in respect of exlemal. regulatory and Gompliance risks will
continue and the exploration of the benefits of becoming a Charitable Incorwraled Organi3ation will commence
Iposlponed in 20231.
11 is becoming clear that the crisls in health & ¥o¢ial care contSnues to impact older people in a negative way.
Unfortunately. the Charity's 2023 attempt to engag8 local decision makers in a dialogue about this important issue
mèt with a very pauce response. In 2024. allenlion will be given lo dèvelop an Independent Living Policy that
describes Ihg SUPPOrt the Charity can provide lo help residents to live independently in their almshous¢ and the
8clic￿5 that will be lakgn when it is no longer safe for residents to rem8ln in their home.
Subj8cl to the results ol consullalion wlth residents (January and February 20241, Trustees will decide whether to
introduce the proposed change to the WMC on 1 Aprll 2024. If the proposal goes ahead, the Charily will move
lo a sounder financial footlng and b8come less reliant on investment income to meet operational costs.
In terms of the Ch8rily'$ Ive-year strategic plan,. Trustees have already idenllfied an opportunity lo convert a vacant
o.bedroom bungalN on the Collegg Walk $116 into Iwo one-b8droom almshouses. This opportunity will be
assessed in terms of cosl and benefit and if il proves feasible the conversion projectwill pro¢eed with the lik81ihood
Ihat the remaining three bungalows will b8 converted later, theroby increasing the number of almshouses from
154 10 158.
Improvements tc the College Road flallets (some of the Charitys lea31 energy efficient properties) are planned
with the intention lo replace the exi$llng Critlall windows with new double￿IaXed units lsubjecl lo planning

aKernative bul lo do so.
Our r¢sp¢n$lbilltlQs for thg audlt of the flnanclal 8tatoment8
We have been 8ppointed a8 auditors under Section 144 of the Chariti&8 Act 2011 and report in ac¢ordan¢& with
the Act and relavanl r￿Ul01￿)￿S made or having 8Jffect Ih8reunder,
Our Object￿eS are lo obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statemen18 as a whole are free
from material mis51alemenl, whether due to fraud or error, and lo issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that
include8 our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, bul is not a guarantee that an audit

can arise from fraué or error and ar8 considered material if. Indlvidually or In the aggregate. Ih¢y ¢ould reasonab
be expected to influence the economic decisions of useis lak8n on the basis of th888 financial slatam&nts.
Irr8gu18rili8s. including fraud, are Instances of non-compli8nce with laws 8nd regulations. We design procedures
n Ilne with our responsibilrfLies, outlined above. lo detect materia5 misstatements in respect of irregularities,
including fraud. The extent lo which our procedures are capable of detecllng irregularille8. Includlng fraud k8

We obl8ined an understanding ol the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable lo the charfcable
company and determined that the most signrficant are the Slalement of Recommended Practice Accounting 8nd
Reporting by Charrtbs, ISORPI, in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK IFRS
1021.
- The Charlly is required lo comply with charity law and, based on our knowledge of its aGtivitses, we identified that
the legal requirement lo accurately account for restricted funds was of key 8Vjn￿icanCe.
We understood how the charity 18 comptying with those framewoTks via communication with those charged with
govgrnance, together with the review of the charlly's docurriented poI￿leS and procedures.
We assessed the susceplibilily of the charity's financial slalemenls to material missl8lement, Including how fraud
might occur by con$idering Ihe key risks impacting the financial slalemenls. These included risks associated with
Revenue Recognition, and Man8gemenl Override of Controls, which were dl$¢ussed and agreed by the audit
team.
Our approach Included agreeing the charills recognillon of income lo the terms of the underlyNig licenses lo
occupy and as60ci8led correspondence. tha review ofjoumal entries proce58èd In the aeeounling records and the
investigation of slgnificanl and unusual transactions idenlrfN?d from our revigw of Ihg accounting records.
Our approach was also to check that all reslricled income wa8 properly Idenllfied and Separately acoounted for.

Bas18 of preparlng the flnanclal 8tatomèn18
The Culbush & Corall Charily is a charity governed by a scheme dated 15 November 2010, as arnanded
on 16 July 2020. and reglslered a8 a charity with the Charity Commission of England and W818s. The
addr85$ of th6 reglslered office is given on Pgge 1.
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been pr8parad
in acwrdan¢è wllh the Chari118s SORP (FRS 102} 'Ac¢ounling and Reporting by Charitles,, Slalemenl of
Recommended Practice applicabla lo charities preparing their ac¢oun18 in accordance with the Financial
R8POrting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ire￿n￿ IFRS 1021 (effective 1 January 2019).,
Financial RepDrting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard aP￿Icable in the UK and Republic of
Ireland, and the Charilitr$ Ad 2011.
The lin8nclal $ts18mentB have been prepared under the hlstorfcal cost convontion, wilh the exception of

Th8 accoun18 have been prepared lo give a 'lrue and falr vievl antj have departed from the Ch8ri11es
{Accounls and Reports) Regulations 2008 only lo the extent required to proV￿e a 'lrue and fair view.. This
departure invtslved following Accounting and Reportlng by ChaTities preparing IhEir accounts in accordance
with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republk of Iroland IFRS1021 issued on
16th July 2014 rather than the AGcounling and Reportlng by Charities Statement of Recommended Pracuce
effective from 181 April 2005 which has since been wilhdr8wn.
Golng ¢oncern
The financial slalemenls have been prepared On a going concern basis as the Tru$lee8 believe that no
material uncertainties exist. The TTu$lees have considered the level ol funds held and the expecled18vel
of income and expenditure for 12 months Irom aulhorisin9 these financial statements. The budgeted income
and expenditure 15 $uffleienl with the level of reserves for the Charity lo be able lo continuo as a going
concern.
Critlcal accountlng judgements and koy sources of gstlmatlon uncertalnty
The following are the critical ludgomenls and key sources of eslimalion uncertainty that the Board has
m8de in the proco$s of applying the charity's accounting pollcles and that have the most signlficanl effect
on the amounts recognised in the financial 8talemenl8'.
Idenlificalion of housing property ¢omponenls
The charity account$ for ils expenditure on houslng" properties using component accounting. Under
componanl accounting, the housing property is divided into those major compon&nts which are considered
to have substantially different useful economic live8. Judgement is used in allocating property costs
between components (land, structure. kitchens, bathrooms elcl and in delemiining the useful econom
lives of each component.
Housing propety depreciation is calculated on a component-by-component basis. The idenlificallon of
such components is a maller of ludgemenl and may have a materi81 impact on the depreciation charge.
Th8 components selected are Ilv)se whi¢h reflect how the major ropairs lo the property are managed.
Incomo
All income is re¢ognkqed in the Slalemenl of Financlal Activities once Iho Charlty ha5 8nlMlamenl to the
lunds,11 Is probable that the Incom8 will be received, and the amount can be mea8ured reliably.

FUTURE PLANS
Plans are in place lo addres5 th$ outstanding deficiencies identified In the Audit Report 2022, in particular v881ing
with the Officlal Custodian and reglstering Thoma5 Robert Gardens with HM Land Registy, developing the fi'xed
asset register and treatment of capilalisation and depreciation.
Wot* on the review of risk management 8rranggmenls in respect of exlemal. regulatory and Gompliance risks will
continue and the exploration of the benefits of becoming a Charitable Incorwraled Organi3ation will commence
Iposlponed in 20231.
11 is becoming clear that the crisls in health & ¥o¢ial care contSnues to impact older people in a negative way.
Unfortunately. the Charity's 2023 attempt to engag8 local decision makers in a dialogue about this important issue
mèt with a very pauce response. In 2024. allenlion will be given lo dèvelop an Independent Living Policy that
describes Ihg SUPPOrt the Charity can provide lo help residents to live independently in their almshous¢ and the
8clic￿5 that will be lakgn when it is no longer safe for residents to rem8ln in their home.
Subj8cl to the results ol consullalion wlth residents (January and February 20241, Trustees will decide whether to
introduce the proposed change to the WMC on 1 Aprll 2024. If the proposal goes ahead, the Charily will move
lo a sounder financial footlng and b8come less reliant on investment income to meet operational costs.
In terms of the Ch8rily'$ Ive-year strategic plan,. Trustees have already idenllfied an opportunity lo convert a vacant
o.bedroom bungalN on the Collegg Walk $116 into Iwo one-b8droom almshouses. This opportunity will be
assessed in terms of cosl and benefit and if il proves feasible the conversion projectwill pro¢eed with the lik81ihood
Ihat the remaining three bungalows will b8 converted later, theroby increasing the number of almshouses from
154 10 158.
Improvements tc the College Road flallets (some of the Charitys lea31 energy efficient properties) are planned
with the intention lo replace the exi$llng Critlall windows with new double￿IaXed units lsubjecl lo planning

aKernative bul lo do so.
Our r¢sp¢n$lbilltlQs for thg audlt of the flnanclal 8tatoment8
We have been 8ppointed a8 auditors under Section 144 of the Chariti&8 Act 2011 and report in ac¢ordan¢& with
the Act and relavanl r￿Ul01￿)￿S made or having 8Jffect Ih8reunder,
Our Object￿eS are lo obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statemen18 as a whole are free
from material mis51alemenl, whether due to fraud or error, and lo issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that
include8 our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, bul is not a guarantee that an audit
¢onducled in Kcordance with ISAS {UKI will always delect a material mlsstalemenl when il exists. Misslalemenls
can arise from fraué or error and ar8 considered material if. Indlvidually or In the aggregate. Ih¢y ¢ould reasonab
be expected to influence the economic decisions of useis lak8n on the basis of th888 financial slatam&nts.
Irr8gu18rili8s. including fraud, are Instances of non-compli8nce with laws 8nd regulations. We design procedures
n Ilne with our responsibilrfLies, outlined above. lo detect materia5 misstatements in respect of irregularities,
including fraud. The extent lo which our procedures are capable of detecllng irregularille8. Includlng fraud k8

We obl8ined an understanding ol the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable lo the charfcable
company and determined that the most signrficant are the Slalement of Recommended Practice Accounting 8nd
Reporting by Charrtbs, ISORPI, in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK IFRS
1021.
- The Charlly is required lo comply with charity law and, based on our knowledge of its aGtivitses, we identified that
the legal requirement lo accurately account for restricted funds was of key 8Vjn￿icanCe.
We understood how the charity 18 comptying with those framewoTks via communication with those charged with
govgrnance, together with the review of the charlly's docurriented poI￿leS and procedures.
We assessed the susceplibilily of the charity's financial slalemenls to material missl8lement, Including how fraud
might occur by con$idering Ihe key risks impacting the financial slalemenls. These included risks associated with
Revenue Recognition, and Man8gemenl Override of Controls, which were dl$¢ussed and agreed by the audit
team.
Our approach Included agreeing the charills recognillon of income lo the terms of the underlyNig licenses lo
occupy and as60ci8led correspondence. tha review ofjoumal entries proce58èd In the aeeounling records and the
investigation of slgnificanl and unusual transactions idenlrfN?d from our revigw of Ihg accounting records.
Our approach was also to check that all reslricled income wa8 properly Idenllfied and Separately acoounted for.
Thls included reviewing journal adjustments and unusual transactions.
Basod on this understandlng we designed our audit procedurès to idenllfy non-compliance with such laws and
regulations. Our procedure$ lnv0tv￿ review of the reportlng t¢ the Iru$lees with respect lo the appli¢atlon of the

Our rosponslbllltles for the audlt of tho Ilnanelal 8tat•monts Icontlnugdl
There are inherent limilallons in the audit procedures described above and. th8 further removed non-compliance
with laws and regulations is from the events and Ir8nsa¢lions reflected in the financlal stalem&nts, the less Ilkely
we would become awar8 of it. The risk of not dete¢ling a malerlal misslalemenl due lo fraud is hlgher than the
r￿sk ol not delecling one resulting frcln error. as fraud may involve deliberate con¢e8lmenl by, for example, forgery
or intentional mi8repr8senlallons. or through collusion.

Critlcal accountlng judgements and koy sources of gstlmatlon uncertalnty
The following are the critical ludgomenls and key sources of eslimalion uncertainty that the Board has
m8de in the proco$s of applying the charity's accounting pollcles and that have the most signlficanl effect
on the amounts recognised in the financial 8talemenl8'.
Idenlificalion of housing property ¢omponenls
The charity account$ for ils expenditure on houslng" properties using component accounting. Under
componanl accounting, the housing property is divided into those major compon&nts which are considered
to have substantially different useful economic live8. Judgement is used in allocating property costs
between components (land, structure. kitchens, bathrooms elcl and in delemiining the useful econom
lives of each component.
Housing propety depreciation is calculated on a component-by-component basis. The idenlificallon of
such components is a maller of ludgemenl and may have a materi81 impact on the depreciation charge.
Th8 components selected are Ilv)se whi¢h reflect how the major ropairs lo the property are managed.

## **The Cutbush and Corrall Charity: Audit Findings Report for the year ended 31 December 2023** 

The Board of Trustees 

The Cutbush and Corrall Charity 

11 July 2024 

Dear Trustees 

## **The Cutbush and Corrall Charity** 

## **Audit findings for the year ended 31 December 2023** 

This Audit Findings Report highlights the significant findings arising from the audit and sets out the key matters which we are required to formally report to those charged with governance in accordance with International Standard on Auditing (UK) 260. 

As you will appreciate, our audit procedures are designed primarily to enable us to form an opinion on the accounts as a whole.  Our procedures include such tests of the accounting records and internal control systems as are, in our opinion, necessary for audit purposes.  Consequently, whilst our procedures may identify certain weaknesses which may exist, the audit procedures in themselves should not be relied upon to reveal all the weaknesses which may exist in the system. 

This report has been prepared for your sole use and we assume no responsibility to any other party in respect of its contents.  The report should not be disclosed to any third party without our prior written consent. 

This report is not exhaustive and deals with only the more significant matters which came to our attention during the audit.  Other matters of lesser significance have been discussed with the relevant staff during the course of our audit work. 

We would like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation to management and staff for their assistance and co-operation during the course of our audit. If you have any queries on any of the points in this letter, please do not hesitate to contact us. 

Yours Sincerely

## **The Cutbush and Corrall Charity: Audit Findings Report for the year ended 31 December 2023** 

## **Audit Overview** 

## **General** 

The purpose of our audit is to gather sufficient evidence to allow us to conclude that the transactions and balances disclosed in the accounts are unlikely to be materially misstated, to establish that disclosures reflected in the accounts comply with the requirements of legislation and relevant accounting standards, to assess whether the accounting policies adopted are appropriate and consistently applied and to assess whether judgments exercised and estimates made in the preparation of the accounts are fair and reasonable. 

## **Audit Report** 

We confirm that we have completed the audit to our satisfaction and intend to issue an unqualified audit opinion on the Financial Statements. This means that we have no material reservations over the figures or information disclosed in the financial statements. 

The wording of our audit report is in accordance with the standard text for unqualified audit reports prescribed by the Financial Reporting Council. Our report also includes a section which is specific to this audit setting out our response to the risk of material misstatement in respect of irregularities arising from noncompliance with laws and regulations, including fraud. 

## **Estimates and Judgments** 

The key estimates and judgements made by management affecting the financial statements are as follows.: 

- Identification of housing property components and attributed estimated useful lives. 

Following the restatement of housing properties under component accounting rules, we have concluded that management have exercised judgments and calculated estimates in a fair and reasonable way. 


**3 |** P a g e 



**The Cutbush and Corrall Charity: Audit Findings Report for the year ended 31 December 2023** 


## **Accounting Policies and Disclosures** 

The accounting policies which have been adopted in the financial statements are in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice and are, in all material respects, appropriate to the organisation’s operations and in compliance with FRS 102 and the Charity Statement of Recommended Practice 2019. 

Adequate consideration was given to the potential impact of changes in legislation and accounting standards which arose during the year. No significant changes arose during the current year which affected the financial statements and therefore the form and content of the accounts are largely consistent with the preceding year. 

You are aware that fixed assets have been restated to comply with FRS 102, which  requires the major components of an item of property, plant and equipment which have significantly different patterns of consumption of economic benefits to be separately recognised. This includes items such as the roof, boilers, bathrooms and kitchens in a property. In this case, FRS 102:17.16 requires that the initial cost of the asset is allocated to its major components with each component then depreciated separately over its useful life. We have therefore amended the policy to comply with this treatment. 

## **Professional Ethics and Independence** 

We confirm our compliance with Ethical Standards issued by the Financial Reporting Council. There are no matters in relation to our audit engagement which we consider should be brought to your attention. 

We also confirm that we have evaluated our firm’s independence in connection with the audit and implemented appropriate safeguards to ensure there are no factors affecting our independence or objectivity and thus our ability to continue to act as auditor. These included: 

- The self-review threat arising from our assistance with the preparation of the financial statements; 

- The self-review and management threat arising from processing journal adjustments; 

These however have been properly addressed by appropriate safeguards, namely: 

- A review by a second manager independent of the audit; 

- Journal adjustments being approved by the Trustees in writing; 


**4 |** P a g e 



**The Cutbush and Corrall Charity: Audit Findings Report for the year ended 31 December 2023** 


## **Other Audit Matters** 

In accordance with UK auditing standards, we confirm the following matters in relation to our audit of the financial statements: 

   - a) We have not identified or been made aware of any incidents of fraud or suspected fraud. We would emphasise that our work as auditor is not intended to identify any instances of fraud of a non-material nature and should not be relied upon for this purpose. 

   - b) We have not identified or been made aware of any incidents of non-compliance with laws and regulations which could have a material impact on the financial statements. 

   - c) We have not identified or been made aware of any related party transactions other than matters which have been disclosed in the financial statements. 

   - d) We have received all requested third-party confirmations which represent an essential element of our audit evidence. 

   - e) Apart from the matters set out in this report, there were no significant matters discussed with management during the audit which we are required to bring to your attention. There were no significant disagreements with management, or any limitations placed on the scope of our work. No significant difficulties were encountered during the audit.

## **Materiality and Audit Adjustments** 

## **Materiality** 

Materiality is used both to plan the nature and extent of audit testing and to evaluate the effect of misstatement. In accordance with ISA (UK) 260 ‘Communication with those charged with governance’, we are obliged to include details in this report of all unadjusted errors which are below materiality unless they are clearly trivial. Whilst our audit procedures are designed to identify misstatements which are material to our audit opinion, we also report to those charged with governance and management any uncorrected misstatements of lower value errors to the extent that our audit identifies these. 

Omissions or misstatements are regarded as material if they would reasonably influence the users of the financial statements. The assessment of what is material is a matter of professional judgement. 

Our assessment of materiality for the charitable company for the year ended 31 December 2023 was calculated as follows: 

||Parent<br>£|**Explanaton**|
|---|---|---|
|Overall Materialityfor the Financial Statements|17,415|Accounts materiallymisstated where total errors exceed this value|
||||
|Performance Materiality|13,061|Workperformed to capture individual errors at this level.|
||||
|TrivialityLevel|870|Unadjusted errors above this level are reported.|



## **Audit Adjustments** 

All material adjustments arising from our audit work have been discussed with management and appropriately reflected in the financial statements. The adjustments agreed are included in an appendix to this this letter. 

We confirm that no further misstatements were detected during the audit which remain uncorrected in the financial statements other than matters which are both individually and cumulatively below performance materiality. A schedule of unadjusted errors is also included with this report.

## **Key Audit Risks and Conclusions** 

The following schedule sets out the key risks which we identified as part of our audit planning. It sets out our approach to ensuring that these risks did not give rise to any material misstatement in the financial statements and our audit findings. 

**Risk Audit Approach Audit Findings 1 Completeness of income** Rental income will be reviewed against expected We are satisfied following the review of income Under ISA (UK) 240 there is a presumed risk of rents in the year and tested to underlying data on documentation and audit procedures performed fraud in relation to revenue recognition.

• Impact in performance in voids as filling void properties is more difficult in the current situation. 

## **4 Housing Properties** 

Component accounting has not been adopted on fixed asset properties. There is a further risk that property components are treated as revenue items and not correctly identified in the accounting records. This will include both property additions and disposals and the accounting treatment of replacement components. 

We will perform component accounting Housing properties have been restated under calculations and restate housing properties in component accounting using the guidance issued compliance with FRS 102:17.16, which requires by the National Housing Federation in respect of the initial cost of the asset to be allocated to its component apportionment and useful economic major components with each component then lives. depreciated separately over its useful life. 

Minor adjustments were also made in the year for Additions will be checked to ensure that they have fixed asset additions posted as revenue been correctly categorised and are genuine expenditure. We are satisfied that component additions. replacements are now fairly stated. 

**5 Identification of all related party transactions** The risk of material misstatement of related party relationships and transactions can arise due to a failure by entities to identify or disclose related party relationships and transactions, whether by lack of understanding or knowledge of relationships that fall within the definition, or by using unidentified related parties to cover up fraudulent activities or financial reporting. 

We will review the details of related party No additional related party transactions were transactions prepared by the Board of Trustees identified during the course of our work. We are and obtain representation from the Board that satisfied disclosure of related party transactions the register accurately and completely discloses in the financial statements is complete. all related party transactions.  We will review our audit work to identify any previously unidentified related parties and related party transactions.

## **Internal Control Observations and Recommendations** 

We are required to report to you, in writing, significant deficiencies in the internal controls and the internal control environment that we have identified during the course of our audit. These matters are limited to those which we have concluded are of sufficient importance to be reported to you. Our audit cannot necessarily be expected to disclose all deficiencies in the system and, as a result, the matters reported may not be the only ones which exist. 

We have categorised the internal control deficiencies using a colour-scale rating system. The key to which is as follows: 

Control weakness is not significant but we recommend that it be addressed to comply with good practice Control weakness is serious and needs to be addressed Control weakness is of critical importance and needs to be addressed as a priority 

## **Matters Arising in the Current Year** 

## **Risk Observation Recommendation Management Response Rating** 

Whilst we were able to confirm the dates of beginning and end of licenses from the void records, we recommend that the recording of new licensees is kept up to date and checked for completeness. 

**1 Income Recording** Our testing of income identified 3 licensees who were not recorded on the new starter list. 

We also noted that Housing benefit relating Consideration should be given to the to the final two weeks of December had correct cut-off in respect of housing benefit not been accrued. claim recognition. 

Our Inform System which holds all resident details is accurate and holds all the relevant information.  The list provided for audit was created manually and omitted 3 residents. Next year a report will be crested directly from Inform to ensure you receive the correct information.

**The Cutbush and Corrall Charity: Audit Findings Report for the year ended 31 December 2023** 

## **Emerging Issues** 

## **Proposed changes to Financial Reporting** 

The Charity SORP and Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102), on which the SORP is based, are both in the process of being updated, with changes expected to be implemented for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026. Key proposed changes include: 

- Leases: All leases, with few exceptions, must be capitalised. 

- Revenue Recognition: A new five-step model will impact how grants and contracts are recognised. 

- Additional SORP Changes: Larger charities will need to include sustainability reporting, while smaller charities will have a simplified reporting regime. 

## **National Cyber Security Strategy 2022-2030** 

The government’s National Cyber Security Strategy aims to enhance the UK's digital security. A draft Code of Practice on cyber-security governance was published in January 2024 to help directors and senior leaders strengthen their defences against cyber threats, placing cyber security on par with financial and legal risks. It covers regular cyber-awareness training for staff, regularly updating organisational comprehensive plans for responding and recovering from cyber breaches, advocating for regular penetration testing to identify and address vulnerabilities and encouraging organisations to obtain “Cyber Essentials” certification. 

## **Changes on Holiday pay process** 

A recent court decision has simplified the rules for holiday pay, particularly for workers with irregular hours. The Supreme Court has confirmed that holiday pay liabilities can be retroactive for up to two years, necessitating careful planning by employers to avoid errors. New regulations define irregular hours and part-year workers, specifying that leave must be accrued at 12.07% of hours worked and can be paid in instalments, though this is optional. The regulations also detail how leave can be carried forward for workers who are sick or on statutory leave like maternity or paternity, allowing unused leave and pay to be carried forward to the next leave year. These changes aim to provide clarity and simplify the holiday pay process for both employers and employees. 

## **Class 1A NIC on benefit in kind** 

Starting April 2026, payrolling benefits and paying Class 1A NIC on BIK via payroll will be mandatory, aiming to simplify tax reporting and reduce administrative burdens.

**The Cutbush and Corrall Charity: Audit Findings Report for the year ended 31 December 2023** 

## **Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation’s (OFSI) guidance** 

All UK entities, including charities, must comply with financial sanctions. The OFSI provides guidance on ensuring compliance, particularly important given the increased sanctions due to the Ukraine conflict. 

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/financial-sanctions-faqs 

## **Know your donor – key questions for trustees** 

All charities should know their donors and think carefully about whether or not to accept donations. Charity Commission’s Compliance Toolkit and Know Your Donor Questions provide useful tools for due diligence for charities to assess the risks of accepting a donation, including reputational risks.

## **Going Concern**
