As the relaxation of restrictions started to accelerate from January 2022, completely ending in Northern Ireland and England in February 2022 and in MarGh 2022 for Wales and Scotland, the Fishermen's Mission carefully navigated a course back lo providing the level of service care and inleraclion with clients that had existed pre-covid. This was of course not easy. High levels of anxiety continued lo pervade many parts of the community iii need and many staff found the relLtrn to the 'new normality, more diffiGuII than expected. The economic effect of the Covid-19 pandemic was already in)p8cling many in the community and throughout this operating period the increasing rate of inflation and the growing depth of the cosl-of-living crisis ha5 been al the forefront of mLich of the Fishermen's Mission's work. The situation has been exacerbated by the Russian invasion of Ukraine and Ihe continuing fallout of the post-BREXIT trade deals lo the point where the UK'S cost of living has been described as the mo81 affected of all the advanced economies. While all in the UK hav8 been affected by rising prices, il most substantially affects those on low incomes, of which many in the fishing communities would be accurately assessed as 'low income, families. The Fishermen's Mission has listened lo how the Gosl of pulting a vessel lo sea ha5 increased.. how the break-even point has increased., how mai'ket fluctuations have reduced the value of some catGhes', how some species have been less prevalent in UK waters and then the devasling effects of the continuing Linexplained deaths of crustaceans in the North East has crippled that section of the industry, Across the board the Fishermen's Mission has heard how,
Royal Nalional Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen for many, thi5 current period feels like the mosl arduous that has been experienced in the industry by this generation and Ihese unsurprising increase5 demand on the ranges of services provided by the maritime welfare charities. As this operating period concluded, the Fishermen's Mission was preparing for increased calls for financial assistaiice as the weather cooled and the effects of the increased cost of heating and electricity started lo bile. Of all the issues faced by the Fishermen's Mission, those associated with stress, anxiely and wider mental health challenges are very much al the fore of the Fishermen's Mission's core work. The Fishermen's Mission staff are connected lo mental health specialists and the 'GelSeaFil' quayside advisers enable access lo tsounselling services through partners such as the Seafarers, Hospital Society {SHSI, excellent counsellors specialising in supporting fisherimen, Fairwinds in Cornwall and Fishwell in Norfolk and Suffolk and the Merchant Navy Welfare Board who have helped lo sel up a 2417 free and confidential text service de- escalating situations and offering longer term help and support The SeaFil programme continues lo go from strength lo strength, closing the gap between many front-line NHS services and fishermen, including many of the migranl fishermen who support the UK fishing industry. bul find il immensely diffiGulI to make and attend primary and secondary healthcare appointmenls. Develo ment Activities Wilh the cessation of Covid-19 reslriclions mldway through the operating year, il was pleasing to accelerate progress againsl all the Council's strategic obj8clives. Strate ic Ob'ectives so The existing gix Strategic Objecllves were reviewed as parl of the Trustees, annual strategy session; updated and supplemented with three additional objectives. Following the SSatIon of Covid-19 restrictions and the appointment of the new Chief Executive, the Council sought greater movement across all lines ol activity and were content that all were progressing well al the year end. S01 Enhance supportto active and former fishermen and theirfamilies. Thls means not standing still bul actively looking for what else the clients need,. expanding the reach of what the Fishermen's Mission's already does.. looking for what else can be offered,. improving the way clients can be Gonnecled with other organisalions,. doing what is already done more effectively, more efficiently, more beneficially. Improving Ihe impact and improving the lived experience for the clients. The SeaFil programme remains the driving force for new initiatives and wider engagement within the fishing commLJnities. Highlights inGlude'. 33 event days delivered in 14 different ports., More than 150 NHS health checks ¢onducled', More than 120 further health checks condLlCted al SeaFil events., A proof-of-concepl project, jointly conduGled with the Seafarers Hospital Sociely, provided POTlable defibrillators to 10 fishing vessels., The 'service provision gap, between clients and local health providers closed in part through focused local initiatives including.. 'Fishing for Belter Health, in Brixham 'Well Up Noilh, in association wilh Primary Care Network in Northumberland
Royal National Mission lo Deep Sea Fishermen 'Heallhwalch Northumberland, Over 300 mental health engagements., Over 150 physiolherapy engagements. A new mental health text support service launched for fishermen; 'GelSeaFil' shortlisled as 'Service Provider of the Year al the Fishing News Awards 2022., The bollom line - 'SeaFit seNices saved my life" lanonl. Across the charily, the Fishermen's Mission has looked at what the clients needed and has conneGled them with local serVceS and publicly funded authorities, closing gap5 and helping lo bridge inequalities in service provision. S02 Improve the collection. quality, management and utillsatlon of data. This has required a focused and comprehensive plan for the collection and use of routine clala lo track Ir&nds,' aid decision making to itnprove the range and quality ofthe support provided,. aid public relations, fundraising and improve the lived experience of and the benefit to the Fishermen's Mission Clients, and best cares for donors and supporters. The inlroduclion of 'Navigator'. an access website that allow5 secure and streamlined aG¢ess to Ihe Customer Relationship Management ICRMI system for clients, has enhand quality assurance and business continuity across client casework S03 Extend our support to wider area5, both geographical and occupational. This has required the Fishermen's Mission lo look al the scope of the services il provides lo ils clients and the reach of the charity within the UK and then the wider British Isles.. Geographical.. The Fishermen's Misgion was established as a national organisation. The Fishermen's Mission has a footprint in each of the four nations of the UK but must ensure il has all areas adequately covered. The Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey are self-governing Crown dependencies with whom The Mission has relationships and these may be formalised. Considering the fishing waters of the British Isles, then there is also, a need to examine a polenlial relationship with the Republic of Ireland. Discussions to develop the charity's services in the Republic of Ireland paused during Covid-19 and have not yel been fully picked back up. Occupational.. The Fishermen's Mission has traditionally SUPPDrted only UK commercial sea fishing bul now is also engaging with the growing UK aquaculture industry.. Finfish (salmon & Iroull, shellfish (mussels & oysters} and the marine algae induslry{i.e. seaweed). S04 Facilitate lifestyle iinprovements for active and former fishermen and their families. Living a healthy lifestyle can help prevent chronic diseases and long-term illnesses., feeling good about oneself and taking Gare of health are important for self-esleem and 8elf- image - particularly important as people get older. Similarly, people who experienGe financial wellbeing are less stressed about money. This, in lui'n, has positive effects on their overall mental and physical health, and on their relationships. By addressing these issues,. by educating and then enabling the Fishermen's Mission clients to modify their behaviour., their habits, their ways of living elc will bring about positive changes in their lives and improve their health and well-being in every aspect. The Fishermen's Mission musl be alive lo the needs of the clients,. be alive lo changes in society to be ¥eady to support when asked or proactively provide support before it has been asked for. The GetSeaFil programme is funded from core in the Fishermen's Mission and Seafarei's, Hospital Society and goes from strength to strength, closing the inequalities gap and introducing new inilialives that meet the changing demand of the clients
Royal National Mission to Deep Sea Fisherinen The Fisherinen's Mission continues to work closely with partner charities, both iri terms of receiving granls that resources Ihe Fishermen's Mission's woi'k and working collaboratively to deliver services lo those in need S05 Improve cooperative and collaborative engagement with others. It has been critical Ihal the Fishermen's Missioi) does not work in isolation bul coherently with others in the same sector,. olh8rs in the wider fishing enlerprise- the Galch industry., the produceTS.' the regulators,. the donors,. the supporters.. the friends and influencers. Adopting a federated approach, sharing knowledge and best practice across the enterprise, agreeing and priorilising work amongst those involved is a powerful tool,. il is improving the use of resources and expertise and will underpin how services, training and skills development should evolve. The appointment of the new Chief Executive demanded grealer engagement with all slakehold&rs in the Fishermen's Mission influence network., learning about each other's prioritised objectives and building on established relationships. The Fishermen's Mission has soughl to identify and close gaps in healthGare provision in the coastal communities, connecting more clients with more local 8ulhorilies and service providers and rebalancing ingqualilies where possible. The Fishermen's Mission has been actively involved in numerous working groups run by the Merchant Navy Welfare Board, the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defral, the Maritime and Coastguard Agency and Seafish amongst others. The Fishermen's Mission is neither a union nor a lobbying body, bul is routinely considered as best representing the needs of the individual and is more than conlenl for il's voice to provide a context for the rnany organisalion5 who would not otherwise know or understand the consequential effects of policy and regulatory change and enforcement on the welfare, health and well-being of the fishing Communities. S06 Enhance further the reputatlon and brand the Fishermen's Mission by improving quality assurance and governance and articulating the relevance of the Flshermen's Mission and its vision to 2026 to industry and other. Reputation mallers and ¢an be the Fishermen's Mission's single most valuable asset. A good reputation makes the difference between success and failure. Reputation is also a major risk and is considered alongside slralegic, operational, safety and financial risks. Donors want and need to be assured that their geneious giving is being used ethically and lo beneficial effect by an organisation that demonstrates high operating standards as well as making a real and positive difference. The introduction of the Navigator access system lo the CRM System for clients, has enhanced quality assurance and business continuity across client casework. The abilily for any member of staff lo be able lo respond in ar) informed manner to a request for support from anywhere in the UK has Continued lo prove invaluable. Good practice and a Gommonalily of approach has helped maintain a consislenlly high level of service provision. Navig21or is also allowing the Fishermen's Mission to identify gaps or inequality in service provision, over and under- resourcing thereby driving greater efficiency in the way in which business is delivered. S07 Diversify voluntary income to ensure the continued funding of our work by introducing new methods of fundralslng to appeal to a new, wider range of supporters. 11 is recognised that relying loo much on a single income slream Can pose a significant threat lo the Fishermen's Mission charity's finan¢es. Income diversity ensures getting income from multiple sources, allowing the spread of risk, protection against potential shocks (such as loss of one income slreaml, and the promotion of long-lerm finaiicial slabilily. Diversifying the Fishermen's Mission's income will assist Ihe move towards a Imore stable and sustainable
Royal National Mission lo Deep Sea Fi$herMen financial future., assuring that the resource needed lo operate and fund the Fishermen's Mission's plans will be there withoul having lo fall back repeatedly on reserves. S08 Improve Equallty, Diversity & Inclusion IEDII across the whole charitable enterprise (including staff, volunteers, clients and donors). The Fishermen's Mission is commilled lo promoting equality, diversity and inclusion throughout the charity and elimlnating unlawful disGriminalion and the charity is part gf the Maritime EEDI leadership group that is working lo bring about education and change within the sector. Furilier diversification across the charity wlll beller reflect our society and the changing demographics within the indusli'y. There is a need lo further diversify the Trustees, staff, supporters and donors while ensuring Ihal any potential clients are not exGludèd. This requires the Fishermen's Mission to reach out lo different ethnic groups, undei-repiesenled minoritiès and broaden the demographics such that different glving abilities can be recognised ensuring the Fishermen's Mission's Tnessages resonate with as wide an audience as possible thereby improving fundraising, reputation, donor relationships and communication practices. S09 Reduce the carbon footprint and Increase sustainability across the charitable enterprise. Care & Guardianship of Creation is al the heart of this strategic objective and chimes with the Fishermen's Mission's Cole Christian values. The Fishermen's Mission actively promotes initiatives that help care for the planet, the 'crealion' of whioh everyone is a guardian. Such action transcends politics,. il is not about projects bul about developing a slate of mind and a slate of being. No one can save the plarlel alone bul everyone Gan do something. As a charity, Ihe Fishermen's Mi88ion should and is doing ils bil lo follow best Practi and redu¢e the carbon footprint and increase 8uslainabilily across the charitable enterprise. ualit and Dlverslt Ob ectlves The Fishermen's Mission is an equal opportunity organisation. It is ¢ommilled lo a working environment that is free from any form of dis¢riminalion on the grounds of colour, race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or disability and will make reasonable adjustments to meet the needs of staff who are or become disabled. The Council sets slralegi¢ diversily objectives, along with in-year targets. Trustees sel the following objeGtive5 for 2021122..

Recruiting lo be wholly 'open' and greater intere81 in ourjobs lo be generated within under- represented groups. Ongoing. Early in 2023 il is intended to recruit up lo five new Trustees. Central lo this is the out-sourcing of the process with diversification al ils heart. Trustees sel the following objectives for 2022123., Trustees expect that Equality, Diversity & In¢lu8ion IEDII is given appropriate priority as the Fishermen's Mission seeks lo Improve diversily at every level across the enterprise (including staff, volunteers, ¢lienls and donors) Islrategic Objective 8 reers). Trustees also expect that any barriers to inclusion are identified and removed and any inequalities rebalanced. Trustee5 will ¢onducl a review of the EDI strategy and goals in mid-2023. The Fishermen's Mission will Conduct cultural training as a protected priority activity, during 2022123. The Fishermen's Mission will furlher develop relationships with organisalions that hampion the under~represenled, minority and migrant groups lo improve ils appeal to, and engagement with, suoh groups. 202112022 IMPACT During the operating year, the Fishermen's Mission has expended some £1.8M on a¢tivily that supports ils charitable objects. It has recorded over 21,000 client inleraclions. of whi¢h 17,300 were welfare specific. Additionally il has assisted some 4,400 clients, which has included support for some 455 children of fishermen through grants provided lo their families. The staff has responded to lor were ready lo respond lol around emergency 80 incidents al sea during th8 year. In common with the past few years, extensive support has been provided lo migrant crew working in Ihe UK especially in Northern Ireland and Scotland. PUBLIC BENEFIT The Trustees have referred lo the guidance published by the Charity Commission in reviewing the Fishermen's Mission's aims and objectives and in planning future aclivilies. The high-leveS strategic objectives ar8 reviewed by the Tru8lees on an annual basis and these are developed into change objectives and outcomes for thè forlhcoming twelve monllis. A five-year rolling business plan sets out the assumptions for future predicted inGome and the costs incLrred in meeling ils aclivilies. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT In accordance with SORP 2015, key financial risks have been identified and measures undertaken lo miligale them. All risks are recorded on a Council endorsed Risk Register,
Royal National Mission to Deep Sea Fishei'men which was subject to regular reviews (Top 10 risks) by the Senior Marlagemenl Team, quarterly by Council and with all rigks reviewed annually. In October 2022 Gouncil Considered all risks. The Council's top three risks are as follows.. The Fishermen's Mission resources becoming over-slretched leading to a drawdown of reserve5 to maintain services or repL¢lalion suffers when staff unable lo respond effectively and adverse impact on supporllfundraising. Unable to set a balanced budget wilhout draw down of reserves. Action This risk 18 monitored closely howèver,. the reserves investments will provide sufficient financial resilience out lo, al least, the medium term. Previously undelecled or unknown criminal activity create8 significant media interest and has the potential to severely damage the reputation of the Fishermen's Mission and reduce levels of raised voluntary income and generate very signilicanl compensation claim5. Action All contingency plans are regularly reviewed including the proactive ownership of the narrative - clear guidance lo all staff on handlng media enquiries., issuing press releases,. nominated staff for speaking lo media will help distance the Fi8hermen's Mission from perpelralors and ensure that immediate administrative action is seen to be taken with an airn of minimising the effect of adverse publicity. A significant downturn in fundraising, polentially from the residual effect of COVID-19,' the growing cosl of living crisis and other competing demands for charitable donations leads to the Fishermen's Mission being unable to deliver ils core operational outputs, potentially becoming unsustainable and ultimately leading lo the closure of the charily. Atstion - Linked to Risk 1 and monitored concurrently. FUNDRAISING The Fish8rmen's Mission is registered with the Fundraising Regulator and works within the Code of Fundraising Practice and the Chartered Institute of Fundraising's guidance. During the period of this report no complaints were received regarding any lundraising appeals oi. practices. Reflecting the valuing and care for our donors and supporters, 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 our website, donated or offered support. No third parties are employed by the Fishermen's Mission to undertake fundraisirig on their beha5f allhough a small voluntary team operate a House-to-House collection scheme that is fully monitored. All fuiidraising and marketing were carried out within the compliance Iramework of the Data Prote¢lion Act 2018. Experience throughout Covid 19, like many other charitie5, saw a significant f211 in income from community fundraising, even18 and Gorporate partnerships. This was most notable as a sizeable proportion ofthe Fishermen's Mission income comes from restaurants, pubs, fish and chips shops and food festivals, As the chaiity emerged from the Covid-19 reslri¢lions, and as the hospilalily industry started lo recover $0 loo did revenue from these income streams. However, Ihe growing cost of living erisis has again started lo bile and there will be a need lo Inonitor the impact il has on the hospitality sector. 10
Royal National Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen The luiidraising team continued to be imaginative and innovative to maiiilain income levels wher?ver possible and this has resulted in some new initiatives and a greater sense of team working across the whole organisalion. The Fishermen's Mission recognises both the demanding work and commitment of all the staff team in raising this income alongside a deep gratitude for the support of donors throughout the UK. Fundraisin Team Develo ment The fundraising team has worked extremely hard again this year and suessfL11lY achieved the income largels. An eXlIent result considering the Ghanges in the financial position of many of the Mission's donors and supporters. New Inilialives include a pilot project bringing in yreater use of conlaclless giving and the exparlded use of the CRM database syslem. Donors and supporters remain the lifeblood of the Fishermen's Mission. Fundraising efforts by Port Staff are holding sleady and a more integraled approach is being developed. Parlnershi Fundraisin This is an area of fundraising that has taken the longest lo recover from the Covid issues and is now in an equally difficult situation with the ourrent financial climate. New partnerships have been built and strong relalion8hips continue to develop. New and innovative projects have helped to keep this area of work moving forward. Fundraisin from Trusts Grant Makin Foundations & Partners Partnerships wilh grant making trusts and foundations remained key lo the Fishermen's Mission overall income and thi5 was particularly true of the continued, long-lerm funding relationships wilhin the maritime sector, including The Seafarers, Charity, Trinity House, Fishmongers, Company, the Merchant Navy Vvelfare Board lincludiiig the Car Replacement Scheme) and the Grlmsby Sailors, and Fishing Charity Outside the sector, key supporl was received from a sound base of grant making foundations and partners including Ihe Thomas J Horne Memorial Trust, The Margot and Andrew Tennanl Charitable Trust, Suffolk County Coun¢il {heallh and wellbeing piloll 2nd the Pemberton- Barnes Trust.

However, the post was vacated in May 2022 and in such a coinpelilive market il has proved lo be difficult lo fill this vaGancy. The work is still progressing and a new website was commissioned in May to be delivered early 2023. The new website will add fuilher online support information for clients. including a language translation facility in some areas. orlers of the Fishermen's Mission The Fishermen'8 Mission is proud lo be supported by so many loyal friends froin around the UK and beyond. 11 is a privilege lo receive help and friendship from the charity's supporters.

Income frorr legacies during 2021122 was notably lower Ihan in previous years and below the budgeted target. This was in parl a result of the prevailing economic climate, bul also a result of an adminislralive backlog at the HM Couris & Tribunals SeNice IHMCTS} probate service.

Sarasin & Partners For the 12 months lo 3161 October 2022, the Fishermen's Mission investment porlfolio generated a total return of -9.2Q/o which was behind the long-lerm objective (inflation (UK CPI) +4°hl of 14.5'/0 and the benchmark of-5.70h bul in line with the peer group return IARC Steady Growlh Charily Index) of -9.30h, reflective of a challenging macroeconomic envii'onment. Asset allocation was a positive contributor over the year,. the weak performance of fixed income impacted the portfolio less than the ben¢hmark, and moving undeeight in equities in the first quarter proved timely. However, sloGk selection within equities was the main driver 13
Royal National Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen of both returns and ielative underperformance versus the benchmark in both UK1-11.2fAI v 1.40AI and Global Equilies1-6.80/0 v -5.4°Al This relative underperformance was largely due lo the limited exposure lo the enei'gy seGlor which benefitled from a rebounding oil price amplified by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Given energy makes up a disproportionately large an amount of the UK market the relatlve underperformance was more pronounced in this parl of the portfolio. In addition, the UK has a more significant exposure lo tobacco, alcohol and armaments which are excluded from investment and also performed well in what was a risk-off environment. Sarasin's foGUS remains on identifying sustainable long-lerm returns, their analysis shows that energy, and other excluded sectors, do not represent allractive long-lerm investment opporlunilies. Sarasin maintained their allocation lo direct UK property and increased their allocation to allernalive investments, and over the period both provided posilive and diversified returns; within allernalives there was partlGularly strong performance from co1modItieS Ilnvesco Physical Gold and Wisdomtree Carbon ETCI and Gresham House Energy Storage. Since inception {131h September 2016} the Fishermen's Mission portfolio has generated an annualised net return of 5.7 /0, this is ahead of the initial projected 5-7 year return Ihal Sarasin's presented to Trustees in 2016 of 5.2010. Income The Net Movement of Funds for the year was £2.281,138 outflow {2020121'. £978,652 inflow) which has been transferred lo the relevant funds. This decrease has been generated by a reduction in legacies and unre81ised losses on the investments. The designations resulted in the Fishermen's Mission free reserves at 31 October 2022 standing al £5,363.844. Free reserves available for use by the Fishermen's Mission are deemed lo be those that are readily realisable, less funds whose uses are reslricled or else designated for a specific purpose. this iiicludes a minimum level of 2 years lo cciver costs for operations as slated in the Fishermen's Mission reserve policy (Busiriess Continuity Reserves). Additionally, funds designated for Business Development are also Glassed as free reserves and are used to the resour¢e5 initiatives such as piloting conlaclless payments for donors., delivering PLtbli¢ relations,. updating the Fishermen's Mission's branding,. developing the new website capability and, looking ahead, delivering Phase 2 of Navigator expansion which will thereafter be part of the core budget. The calculation excludes funds invested in property and other fixed assets that will continue to be used in the day lo day running of the Fishermen's Mission. Donations and gifts lolalled £1,509,790, a decrease of £5,892 on the 202012021 figure. The legacies recelved were £334,197 less than budget. Ex enditure Overall ceiilres overhead costs incieased from 202012021 mainly due lo the lifting of lockdown and the return lo a more normal way of working. As al 31 October 2022. staff numbered 67.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assLJrance bul is not a guarantee that an audit conducted iii aGcoidance with ISA8 IUKI will always delecl 18
Royal National Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen a material misstatement when it exists. Misslalemenls 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 the financial slalements.

W8 design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to delecl material misstatements in respect of Irregularities, inGluding fraud. Based on our understanding of the charity 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 and anti-money laundering regulation. To help us identify instances of non-compllance with these laws and regulations, and in identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect to non-compliance, our procedures included, but were not limited to: Inquiring of management and, where appropyiale, those charged with governance, as10 whelher the company is compliant with laws and regulations, and dlscussing their policles and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations., Inspecting correspondence, if any, with relevant licensing or regulatory aulhortties., Communicating Idenllfied 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 Ihat have a direct effect on the preparation of the financial 8tatem8nts, such as lax legislation, pension legislation, the Companies Act 2006. In addition, we evaluated the directors, and management's incenlives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements, including the risk of management override of Gonlrols, and determined that the principal risks related lo.. posting manual journal entries lo manipulate financial perfomiance, management bias through judgements and assumptions in significant accounting eslimales, revenue recognition (which we pinpointed to the cut-off assertion), and signlficanl one-off or unusual transactions. Our audit procedures in relation to fraud included but Were nol limited lo.. Making enquiries of the directors and management on whether they had knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud,. Gaining an underslanding of Ihe internal Gonlrols established lo mitigate risks related to fraud., Discussing aTnongst the engagement team the risks of fraud., and Addressing the risks of fraud through management override of conlrols by performing joumal entry testing. There are inherent limilalions in the audit procedures descrlbed above and the prlmary responsibility for the provenlion and detection of irregularities including fraud rests with management. As with any audit, there remained a risk of non-dele¢tion of irregularilies, as these may involve collusion, forgery, Intentional omissions, misrepresentations, orthe override of internal controls.
