The Trustees consider the variability of investment returns on the Foundation's funds to constitute the most significant risk, which is monitored on a regular basis. The Trustees currently have an Investment strategy, which involves a managed investment portfolio in order to provide a stable level of income and long-term capital growth, with a medium risk profile.

The Trustees, current assessment of the target range of free reserves Is £3m-£4m, based on resources expended during past years and that expected for future years. The current free reserves are significantly in excess of this target as they are used to generate future Investment Income. Free reserves, being unrestricted reserves less charitable commitments, are £23,280,471 (2022.. £18,538,296) which includes £1,883,499 {2022.' £1,371,203) relatlng to unreallsed revaluatlons of Investments. The Trustees conslder that this level of free reserves Is currently approprlate to generate the annual total incoming resources to meet its strategic objettives. This view has been reinforced by the economlc effect of the coronavlrus pandemlc, where many charltles suffered severe financlal stress.

HODGE R¢¥i$terd ]Jumber 216053 FOUNDATION 30 W¢mtrKT 21)23 Investment policy With the assistance of its investment advisors, the Trustees have adopted a Statement of Investment Policyi which is reviewed annually.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responslble for assesslng the charity's ability to continue as a going concem, disclosing, as applicable, matters ￿lated to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no reallstlc alternative but to do so.

Our objertives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are f￿e 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 mi55tatement vihen it exists.

We deslgn procedures In Ilne wlth our responslbllltles, outllned above, to detect material misstatements in respect of ir￿gUIaritle$, Includlng fraud. We obtain and update our understanding of the entity, its activities, Its control environment, and likely future developments, including in relatlon to the legal and regulatory framework applicable and how the entlty Is complying with that framework. Based on thls understandlng, we Identify and assess the risks of material mlsstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or 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. This includes consideration of the risk of acts by the entity that were contrary to appllcable laws and regulatlons, including fraud. In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and ￿gUlatiOns, including fraud, we designed procedures which included., Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims as well as actual, suspected and alleged fraud; Revlewlng mlnutes of meetlngs of those charged with governance; Assessing the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations considered to have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operatlons of the entity through enqulry and Inspectlon; Reviewing financial statement dlsclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance wlth appllcable laws and regulations: Performing audit work over the risk of management bias and override of control5, including testing of joumal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and revlewlng accountlng estimates for indicators of potential blas. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a materlal mlsstatement in the financial statements or non-compllance wlth regulation. This risk increases the more that compllance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transaction5 reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement sulting from fraud is hlgher than for one resultlng from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgeryt intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. 10
