The Executive consists of the Chief Executive and the Director of Business Development who undertake the routine management of the Fishermen's Mission. STRATEGIC REPORT Given the experience of the previous year, along with a better end of year financial outcome and the continuing uncertainties surrounding the pandemic, in FY 2020121 Council retained its focus on the delivery of core services. However, where easing of restrictions allowed, Trustees agreed that important elements of their strategy to 2024 should be progressed. Trustees considered that the current strategic priorities remained fit for purpose, noting that a full strategic review is planned for mid-2022.

To alleviate loneliness through home and hospital visits to retired fishermen and their families. To officiate at fishermen's funerals when requested. 2020121 PERFORMANCE AGAINST COUNCIL'S STRATEGY Summa Res onse to the CV-19 Pandemic While over the year some elements of welfare need reduced to near normal levels, the combined impacts of the pandemic, post-Brexit trading and developments of future fisheries policy and management have all added to the pressures on hard-pressed individuals and businesses. Add to this a largely hidden backlog of debts and rising inflation, especially in fuel and food, and the charity is expecting a difficult winter for fishing communities. Increasing evidence of stress and other mental health challenges have been, and will continue to be. a priority for staff. Work here has included SeaFit quayside advisers and offers of access to counselling services provided either in-house, or through partners such as Ihe Seafarers, Hospital Society ISHSI. Separately, using relationships developed in the SeaFit programme, staff were able to facililale CV-19 vaccinations for around 1,500 fishermen and in some areas to assist crew, especially migrant crew, to obtain suitable vaccination certificates. Develo ment Activities Despite ongoing restrictions until well into 2021. pleasing progress was made with all Council's strategic objectives.
Royal National Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen Strate ic Ob'ectives Enhance support to both active and retired fishermen and their families. The SeaFit prograrnme, along with improvements to data management and remote working have been the key contributors for this area. Highlights.. Highlights From June 2021, improved tracking of grant applications and awards. In partnership wilh Seafarers, Hospital Society, continuation of SeaFil Health and Mental Health advisers at the quayside in Aberdeenshire, East Yorkshire, East Anglia and Cornwall. SeaFit quayside health and dental check events at Northshields, Lowestoft and Felixslowe. Almost 1500 CV-19 vaccinations were provided for fishermen through collaboration between SeaFitlNHS. Through the Seafarers, Charily's 'Safety Net, campaign, increased financial skills training for Port Staff lo enhance support provided to clients. Delivered improvements to consistency and quality in service delivery through enhancement of the Operations Management Team. Enhanced cross-leam working, providing cover around the coast for absence and extra resources for periods of peak loading. Improve the collectionp quality> management and use of our data. Following on from investment in digital infrastructure, both hardware and software, and the Gonlinualion of work lo be paper free for client work by 2021, the Fishermen's Mission was well placed to ensure that all staff were able lo work from home. The Navigator Project la two-year project to manage all client data through the Raiser's Edge NXT platform) was successfully completed in June. This has ensured that client data is even more secure and protected by mulli factor 8ulhenli¢ation checks. Navigator has also provided a common language for case-working. This new development has also ensured a much stronger business continuity process and improved quality assurance in service delivery. Additional benefits will be accurate data collection and slatislical analysis which will be used to inform developments in both service delivery and strategic decision making. Extend our support to wider areas, both geographical and occupational. Given the challenges of CV-19 and the posl-Brexit scene across the island of Ireland il was decided to delay work to develop Ihe charity's services in the Republic of Ireland, although al the operational level staff in Northern Ireland have continued lo provide support on request. Fishermen's Mission staff continue lo raise awareness among those in aquaculture and assistance has been provided to sorne workers, notably in north Scotland. Provide or work with others to offer lifestyle improvements for both active and rètired fishermen and their families. The 2-year SeaFit programme, funded by the Seafarers, Charity, continued until 31 March 2021. Prior lo this date, SHS and the Fishermen's Mission resolved lo commit resources to continue key elements through to December 2021. Subsequently both sets of trustees agreed lo continue this level of funding until al least December 2022, with grant funding also being sought for additional inilialives and events. While the funding from the Seafarers Charity ended in March 2021, work continues to explore joint opportunities for future health and wellbeing initiatives.
Royal Nation81 Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen SeaFil has only been able to deliver through working with a range of state, commercial and voluntary sector agencies. These engagements have indicated the model's potential to tackle many aspects of wellbeing beyond health in the future. Once again, The Fishermen's Mission is most grateful to our traditional maritime partner charities, who continue to develop their support to reflect the changing welfare needs of fishing communities. A number of short-term initiatives lo meet additional needs during the pandemic have been most welcome and further additional support is being considered for the forthcoming Christmas period. In Norlh Shields the Fishermen's Mission has partnered with a local homeless charity to exlend café, shower and laundry facilities for active fishermen using the Fish Quay. This initiative has proved popular with crew and the next slep will be to investigate similar synergies and partnerships around the coast. Improve cooperative and collaborative engagement wlth others. At the same time explaining to industry and boyond our work, our vision to 2024 and the relevance of the Fishèrmon's Mission. The SeaFit programme has been most successful in attracting interest, cooperation, and collaboration with a range of agencies. Now a widely recognised brand, SeaFil has made significant progress in developing longer term we51being provision through relationships with local authorities, the NHS and other NGOS. However, there is still much to do. Of note a report by Professor Chris Vvhitly in September 2021, highlighting Health Inequalities in Coastal Communities, concluded that changes were most likely to be achieved through 'sustained, largeled action, which chimes strongly with SHS, and the Fishermen's Mission's view that enduring improvements to the we11being of fishing communities requires a commitment for the long lerm. Following on from the 'Whitty' report the national Director of the Health Inequalities Team, Dr Bola, has sought lo understand more about SeaFit, particularly the lessons learned from the programme so far in terms of whal worked and what did not. A Merchant Navy Welfare Board working group eslablished in the early days ofthe pandemic continues to provide an excellent forum for the sharing and resolution of the many and often complex issues facing seafarers. In a recent development in the Welsh Senedd, Ihe Fishermen's Mission has been invited lo join a new Gross-party group to develop policies for fisheries, management and support to coastal communities in Wales. This move mirrors the charity's regular involvemenl with the Westminster All Party Parliamentary Group on fishing. The charity has linked-up with the Seafarers, Charity's 'Safety Nel, campaign, with all frontline staff receiving enhanced financial management training lo enable them lo engage in a more informed way with fishermen and their families that are struggling financially. For the future il is planned lo explore the practicality of delivering some quayside financial workshops under the SeaFit banner. More routinely, the Fishermen's Mission conlinu8S to play an active role in the maritime and Coastguard Agency's fishing safety and work in fishing convenlion groups, Seafish's ethics common language meetings and in the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority's liaison groups.
Royal National Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen Enhance further the reputation and the face of the Fishermen's WEission by improving service quality and consistency and the governance of our Gharity. The Navigator Project, launched in June 2021, has further enhanced quality assurance and business continuity with regards to client casework. The ability for any member of slaff to be able to respond in an informed manner to a request for support from anywhere in the UK has proved to be invaluable. Good practice and a commonality of approach has improved the consistently high level of service that we aim lo provide. This, in turn. has also been a learning prOsS as staff have shared their knowledge and have learnt from each other's experiences sharing good practice and expertise. uallt and Diversi Ob'ectives The Council sets strategic diversity objectives, along with in-year targets-. Ob'ectives for 2020121 Trustees established the following objectives.. Bring the experience of new Iruslees to bear on equality and diversity understanding in decision making. Complete equality and diversity training for all Trustees and staff. Consider the introduction of training in unconscious bias. All frontline staff to receive online training in Philippine culture. Continue efforts lo allract minority groups into service with the charity. Trustees brought greater understanding of equality and diversity in making key decisions in areas such as safeguarding. In addition, Trustees directed an entirely open approach to the recruilment of a new Chief Executive, with recruiting clearly encouraging candidates from a broad spectrum to apply for the role. All staff and Trustees were involved in a most successful round of in-house equality and diversily training that included briefings and discussions around unconscious bias. For recruiting at 811 levels, wider job adverts, and better targeting have been attempted, along with anonymDUS recruiting methods. However, success has been limited and efforts will continue to improve the charity's ability to connect lo minority groups and those with varied lived experience. Disappointingly, yet again cultural training fell victim to higher priority training demands. Ob'ectives for 2021122 Trustees, objectives for Ihe next financial year are.. Trustees will formally review their strategy and goals in relation to equality and diversity in mid-2022. Prior to Council's strategic review an internal audit to be conducted looking at equality, diversity and inclusion in the conlexl of the charity's current operations. Management to engage with NGOS that have a focus on minority and migrant groups to improve Ihe appeal and engagement with these groups especially in recruiting. Fulfil a long-standing objective to deliver cultural Iraining for frontline staff that reflects key groups working in the UK fishing induslry.
Royal National Mission lo Deep Sea Fishermen 202012021 IMPACT Core statistics as follows.. Over 3,600 clients were assisted lo address wellbeing issues, involving some 22,900 welfare interactions and £1.7m being provided to clients either through direct financial support or almonising through our partners. Over 1,000 widows and family members received assistance. 213 fishermen's children received assistance. 307 fishermen received £140k in emergency financial assistance. Staff responded to around 80 incidents involving accidenls or emergencies at sea with fishing vessels In common with the last few years, extensive support was provided to migrant crew working in Ihe UK especially in Northern Ireland and Scotland. As noted previously, for this year support included facilitation of coronavirus vaccinations. Many of the lessons learned from 2020, most notably the ability to successfully manage complex casework remotely, have been absorbed into routine practice. A move to hybrid working in summer 2021, including home visits and other face lo face interactions, has clearly demonstrated the requirement to sustain a balance of remote and more traditional working practices. PUBLIC BENEFIT The Trustees have referred to the guidan published by Ihe Charity Commission in reviewing the Fishermen's Mission's aims and objectives and in planning future activities. The high-level slralegic objectives are reviewed by the trustees on an annual basis and these are developed into change objectives and outcomes for the forthcoming twelve months. A five-year rolling business plan sets out the assumptions for future predicted income and the costs incurred in meeting its activities. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT In accordance with SORP 2015, key financial risks have been identified and measures undertaken to mitigate them. All risks are recorded on a Council endorsed Risk Register, which was subject to quarterly reviews (Top 10 risks) and an annual review of all risks. In October 2021 Council considered all risks. The Council's lop five finanGial risks are as follows.. 1. Significant increase in the Retirement Benefit Pension Scheme IRBS) defiGiI threatening sustainability of Fishermen's Mission's worklstrategy. Action- Following Council's decision in October 2020 to secure the scheme's benefits through a suitable insurer, much progress has been made. By year end a proposal from Legal and General Assurance Setvices ILGAS) had been accepted and a draft contract was under consideration. Funds will transfer from the Scheme to LGAS by mid-November 2021 along with a balance of the necessary premium provided from the Fishermen's Mission reserves investments. At this slage LGAS take on responsibility for ensuring members, pensions as provided for in the agreed initial benefit specification. Once this is achieved, work will commence to finalise the benefit specification {the 'dala cleansing, stage). It is anticipated that the scheme will move to buy-out and ultimately wind-up by autumn 2022. All the above will significanlly reduce the financial risk to the Gharity, but CounGiI will retain appropriate insurance until the scheme is finally wound-up.
Royal National Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen 2. Reputation Single media event resulting in fundamental undermining of reputation and trust. with possible failure of the charity. Action Pro-aclive engagement through social media and website with both managed from Head Office. Clear guidance on dealing with media has been provided lo all staff. Official spokespersons identified, and adminislralion of press releases fomialised. 3. Future significant downturn in fundraising - Fishermen's Mission becomes unsustainable with the need lo re-organise operations or close. Action - In light of the challenges to many streams of voluntary income as a result of CV-19 and continued adverse media coverage of some major charities, Council has maintained close scrutiny of this risk. An enduring commitment lo exploring new revenue streams such as digital, in tandem with regular reviews and revilalisation of more traditional SoUrs. 4. Fishemien's Mission resources over-stretched slaff unable lo respond effectively or Gonsislently andlor reserves eroded to maintain service levels. Action This risk continued to be monitored closely, especially for the impact of CV-19 on voluntary income. However, Trustees considered that the reserves investments provided sufficient financial resilience at least out lo the medium term. The move to hybrid working from mid-2021 saw a gradual increase in expenditure linked to travel and expenses. The impact of inflalion, notably in fuel and ulililies has been and will continue lo be monitored. 5. Adverse publicity leading to erosion of reputation and trust. Probable impact on fundraising and ability to deliver charitable objects. Action See Risk 2. Pro-active engagement through social media and website with both managed from Head Offi. Clear guidance on dealing with media has been provided lo all staff. Official spokespersons identified, and administration of press releases formalised, along with contingency planning and additional training for staff and volunteer5. Vvhile a formal risk to reflect the possible implications of Brexit did not appear in Ihe Top 5 Risks during the year, actions are in hand to ensure the charity is able to respond to any additional welfare needs arising. FUNDRAISING The Fishermen's Mission is registered with the FundrasIng Regulator and works within the Code of Fundraising Praclice and Ihe Chartered Institute of Fundraising's guidance. During the period of this report no complaints were received regarding any fundraising appeals or practices. To ensure protection of vulnerable people, the Fishermen's Mission never purchases names or addresses for fundraising purposes nor sells any information that it holds and only contacts those people who have purchased goods through ourwebsite, donated or offered support. No third parties are employed by the Fishermen's Mission to undertake fundraising on their behalf although 3 small voluntary team operate a House-to-House collection scheme that is fully monitored. All fundraising and marketing were carried out within the compliance framework of the Data Proteolion Act 2018. As Covid 19 continued, in line with other charities, income from events and corporate partnerships fell considerably. A significant proportion of the Fishermen's Mission income is from restaurants, pubs, along with fish and chips shops and fish festivals.
Royal National Mission lo Deep Sea Fishermen The fundraising team continued lo be imaginative and innovative to maintain income levels wherever possible and this has resulted in some new initiatives and a greater sense of team working across Ihe whole organisation. The continued development in the area of social media and a digital presence has begun to gain traction and will continue in the following years. As the financial year came to an end the signs were hopeful of the conlinualion of previous partnerships and Ihe development of new ones. The Fishemen's Mission recognises both the hard work and commitment of all the staff team in raising this income alongside a deep gratilude for the support of donors throughout the UK. Fundraisin Team Develo ment With staff working from home during the lockdown period and later working to a hybrid approach a stronger bond was developed across the entire team. This enabled the sharing of fundraising and media skills. Regular training slots saw an increase in media presence and a greater involvement in fundraising events and projects. Partnershi Fundraisin During the year new relationships have been forged within the fishing sector. The reopening of the hospilalily sector also helped in developing new friendships and supporters. Fundraisin from Trusts Grant Makin Foundations & Partners Partnerships with grant making trusts and foundations remained key lo the Fishermen's Mission overall income and this was particularly true of the continued, long-lemi funding relationships within the maritime sector, including the Seafarers, Charity, Trinity House, Fishmongers. Company and the Grimsby Sailors, and Fishing Charity. Outside the sector, key support was reiVed from a sound base of granl making foundations and partners including the Thomas J Horne Memorial Trust, The Margot and Andrew Tennant Charitable Trust and the Garfield Weston Foundation. The latter organisation is supporting the health check element of the flagship SeaFil Programme which provides an ongoing opportunity to develop support from a new cohort of UK based trusts, helping the Fishermen's Mission to broaden ils supporter base, particularly in relation to the implementation of the Strategic Plan 2019 - 2024. ital and Social Media Following an independent Executive Review in Spring 2019, additional reSoUrS were allocated to Digital Fundraising initiatives. The appointment, previously noted, of a Digital and Marketing Fundraiser has significantly increased the digital foalprinl of the Fishermen's Mission. This medium is proving to be a valuable method for the promotion of the charity's work and its role in the fishing communities. Su orters of the Fishermen's Mission The Fishermen's Mission is proud to be supported by so many loyal friends from around the UK and beyond. 11 is a privilege to receive help and friendship from the charity's supporters. The Fishermen's Mission values each and every call, email, letter and gifl that is received as well as being deeply grateful for those who pray each week for the chanty's work and staff using the Prayer Calendar. It is recognised that giving is a very personal decision and the Fishermen's Mission is proud that so many people choose to support its work and recognises the vital support that donors and volunteers bring to the charity. 10
Royal National Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen ac Income Income from legacies remained key to the charity's overall income. In 2020121 income from legacies was marginally lower than in the previous year but slill within the budgeted range. Income from legacies not only underpins service provision bul is also set aside to fund development wark for the future. The Fishermen's Mission implemented a more slreamlined process for recording and moniloring legacy income and remains deeply indebted to those who choose to make this special gift. PR and Markelin Preparations were made in 2020121 for a branding refresh and the redesign of all publicily both printed and digital. This work has continued apace, and the new images and promotions are now in use. More work is anticipated to complete this project in 2021122 including the development of a new website. OUR FINANCES Overall Results An operating surplus of £165,94912019120'. £337,490 surplus) was better than budget due to higher-lhan-expected legacy income and savings resulting from reduced travel and subsistence costs due to lockdown and staff working from home. To meet the requirement of Section 28 of the FRS 102, the Retirement Benefit Pensions Scheme fund income and expenditure are shown within the Fishermen's Mission's accounts. The improvement to the balance sheet position reflects the performance of investments and excess of legacy income over budget. Fishermen's Mission Reserves Reserves Polic In October 2021 trustees reviewed and reissued the Investments Policy Slalement, with no significant changes to the overall strategy forÉhe reserves. To reflect their general judgements, the Fishermen's Mission's Trustees maintain financial reserves to achieve 5 key objectives.. 1. Funds for the early stages of major fishing emergencies. 2. Generation of inGomelrevenue for suslained operations. 3. Sufficient funds to ameliorate short and longer-term challenges to the charity's continuity. Minimum reserve 2 years Gosts for operations. 4. Adequate funds to fulfil the employer's covenant to the Retiremenl Benefit Pension Scheme. 5. Provision of resources for activities in support of Council's strategic vision (Development Fund) Investments Sarasin and Partners LLP are appointed as the charity's Investment Managers, with funds invested in thèir pooled Charities Fund. Over the period, performance has met the benchmark rileria sel by Trustees and has remained competitive with providers of similar investment vehicles. A commentary on performance is included Ltnder Investment in the notes to the accounts.
Royal National Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen The charity's investments managers have in place an exclusionary ethical policy for the Fishermen's Mission., details of this policy can be found in the Sarasin Guide lo Ethical Exclusions accessible via the Sarasin & Partners website, The policy is summarised below.. There will be no holdings in companies with exposure to the production of tobacco or lobacco-related manufacturing. The Sarasin CAIFS will also avoid investment in companies that generate significant revenues from.. Alcohol Armaments Gambling Adult entertainment In addition to this exclusionary policy Sarasin & Partners consider the charity lo be stewards of our clients, assets, a mind-set that is guided by a commitment lo think like owners of the companies IN which the charity invests, rather than simply holders of the shares taken. The charity takes an active and responsible approach to investment with the principles of stewardship being embedded at the heart of the investment process. The analysis of environmental, social and governance {ESGI factors forms an integral part of the consideration for every investment decision. The Trustees strongly believe that this analysis must be conducted by Sarasin's equity and fixed income teams as any material risks and opportunities from ESG issues will influence the valuation of each company. Sarasin also has specialist stewardship analysts within the team, who advise on company engagements and lead the company's policy outreach work. Guided by the charity, Sarasin scores each potential investment separately on the environmental, social and governance factors and then builds an overall ESG score with a range from A to E (where A is exemplary, and E is un-inveslablel, which then feeds into the valuation methodology of each company. Investment Performance source Sarasin & Partners For the 12 monlhs to 30 September 2021 the Fishermen's Mission investment portfolio generated a total return of 11.0 /0 which was ahead of Ihe long-term objective (inflation (UK CPI) +40/0) of 7.3 /0 however behind the peer group retum (ARC Steady Growth Charity Index) of16.50/0 and the benchmark of 16.8 % after relinquishing some of Ihe relative outperformance achieved in recent years. stock selection within equities was the main driver of both positive absolute returns and relative Underperforman in both UK {18.30A v 25.8) and Global Equities {14.8Q/o v 22.00/0} as the vaccine discovery in Q4 2020 resulted in a strong rebound and marked sector rotation. Asset allocation was a positive contributor within bond holdings as the underweight allocation resulted in relative outperformance -0.2/0 v -3.40/0, further helped by our preferen for corporate over government debt. Elsewhere property and alternative investments provided positive and diversified retums,. with notably strong performance from investments in UK property funds and digital infrastrudure assets. In November 2021 the Fishermen's Mission realised some of the capital gains in the portfolio and drew further capital over subsequent quarters to enable them to complete a buy-out of their final salary pension scheme. This has proved to be a prudent strategy as the initial capital raise locked in some strong performance and the subsequentquarterly raises have maximised income while enabling the portfolio to benefit from the impact of strong markets. 12

Conclusions relating to going concern In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees, use of the going conGern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial slalemenls 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 Ihe 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 concern are described in Ihe relevant sections of this report. 16

Our opinion on the financial slatements does not cover the other infomiation 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, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of 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 misslatemenl in the financial statements Ihemselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstalemenl of Ihis other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing lo 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 informalion given in the strategic report and the directors, report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consislent with the financial statements., and the strategic r&port and the directors, report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Responsibilities of Trustees As explained more fully in the directors, responsibilities statement, the trustees, (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company lawl 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 ne$sary to enable the 17

In preparing the financial statements, Ihe trustees are responsible for assessing the charity'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 directors either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternalive but lo do so. Auditor's 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 an auditor's 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 IUKI will always detect a material misstatement when il exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud Dr error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the eGonomiG decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements. The extent to which our proGedures are capab5e of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below. Irregularities. including fraud, are InStanS of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, lo detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. Based on our understanding of the charily and its industry, we considered that non-compliance with the following laws and regulations might have a material effect on the financial statements.- employment regulation, health and safety regulation, anti-money laundering regulation, non-compliance with implementation of government support schemes relating to COVID-19. To help us identify instances of non-compliance with these laws and regulations, and in identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect to non-compliance, our proGedures included, but were not limited to.. Inquiring of management and, where appropriate, those charged with governance, as to whether the company is in compliance with laws and regulations, and discussing their policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations., Inspecting corresponden, if any, with relevant licensing or regulatory authorities-, Communicating identified laws and regulations to the engagement team and remaining alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout our audit,. and Considering the risk of acts by the company which were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the preparation of the financial statements, such as tax legislation, pension legislation, the Companies Act 2006. 18
Royal National Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen In addition, we evaluated the directors, and management's incentive5 and opportunitie5 for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements, including the risk of management override of controls, and determined that the principal risks related lo.. posting manual joumal enlrie5 lo manipulate financial performance, management bia8 through judgements and assumptions in significant accounting estimates, revenue recognilion (which we pinpointed to the cut-off assertion). and signifi¢anl one-off or unusual transaGlions. Our audil procedur85 in relation to fra(Jd included bul were nol limited to.. Making enquiries of the direclors and managemenl on whether they had knowledge of any aGlual, suspected or alleged fraud; Gaining an understanding of the internal controls 8slablished to mitigate risks related lo fraud; Discussing amongst the engagement team the risks of fraud., and Addressing the risks of fraud through management override of controls by performing journal entry testing. There are inherenl limitations in the audit procedures described above and the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of irregularities including fraud rests with management. As with any audit, there remainod a risk of non-detection of irregularllies, as these may Involve colluslon, forgery, intentional omissions, miSpreSentatiOns, or the overrlde of internal conlrols.

Royal National Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 October 2021 (continued) 19. POST BALANCE SHEET EVENT In November 2021, the majority of the Scheme's assets totalling £11,970,244 were used to secure a 'buy-in' of all the Scheme's liabilities (except the additional liabilities that will arise from GMP equalisation) with Legal & General Assurance Society. It is anlicipaled that the buy- in will be converted to a buy-out in due course and individual policies assigned to members. However, as this transaction occurred after the year end, and no dale has been agreed for the buy-out of the Scheme, no allowance has been made for this in the accounts. It is anticipated that this will be reflected in next year's disclosures. 38
