I. LETTER FROM THE CEO & CHAIRMAN
As we reflect on theyear. we are grateful forthe Lords loving hand of 8race in the midst of
profound pra¢tl¢al and splrStual need ihrou8hout London.
Today we See the e¢onomlc Impart of both the pandem1¢ and Blgbal conflic( hbttln8 those alreadv
Struggllng the most. Thousand5 of people dlsplaced from their home5 are now Ilvlng In our city.
People are 5ufferlng and wlthout hope. Whlle London Is ever changlng and we adapt our mlnlstries
to meet those needs, people's need for ihe gospel remaln5 the same.
In London, most of the communltles In 8reatest are a150 those dls¢onnected from thelr local
church and unlikety to ever hear about the eternal loy they can freely recelve through repentance
and falth In jesu5 Chr15t. By God'$ 8ra¢e, In the face of a famlne of thè word of God, The London Cllv
MIs51on exists to see the118ht of the 805pel shlne Into the darkness of London.
London need5 Je5U51 Wlth an estlmated 3 mllllon souls Ilvlng In London lèr8ety unaware of the
message of eternal hope In Chr15L thls task Is too 8reat for a smo11 band of mlsslonaTle5, however
committed and 8lfted. 50, we have been mlnlstry ¢onversatlons wlth artsund 5% of the evangelical
church leaders In London, partlcularty those who are based In the most deprlved area5 where people
are most In need of practlcal help and 8ospel hope. We walk alongslde local thurches, followlng In
the footsteps of jesus In seekln8 to serve those In the m05t marglnallsed communltles vtho are the
least Ilkely to have a Chrlstlan frlend to share thelr falth and Invlte them to ¢hur¢h. As i resu￿ rnanv
partnershlps ire foTmln8 and we trust In the promlse of Chrlst to'bulld hls church, and seek to seThe
HIM In that ¢Jllln8.
You'll read about many accounts of God's Brace In thls report; tht man who Is homeless wantlng to
be baptlsed, conversations about the weather turning to dlscussions of Jesus, a former addlct lolnln8
a church famlty, musllm5 hearlnB that none of us can be 8ood enou8h for God, refv8ee children
hearln8 that jesus looks lor the losL for from home. Please conUnue to stand wlth us In prayer and
81ve, as we reach out to people In thls great clty.
For us, It has been a year of dlllgently rebullding many of our teams followin8 a restruciure In 2020,
and a yearof layln8 the foundations of our strategy to Increasln6ly work closety wlth the local church
In London. In some ways there Is perhaps less to say about th15 year than others but the work that
has been done will be the bedrock of our future Impact, as Initial dats from our flrst church
pbrtnershlps encouraglngly shows. The key appolntments of Rev Drjason Roach as our Dlrector of
Mlnlstries, and tsrl Kni8htty a5 our Dlrector ot Church Networks, are vltal In provkllng the le8dershlp
we need to brlng our strategy to Ilfe.
By God'$ 8rate we are perseverin8 well, not because of our great strength, bul because we have a
great hope Sn Chri5tJe5us. Our heartfelt thanks go to every person who play5 a part, however bl8 or
Small, in sharlng that hope with the m05t mar8lnallsed communllies of London.

Z. STRATEGIC REPOR T
ZA. PURPOSE & IMPACT
The London City Mlsslon ILCMI has a vlslon to see jesus Chrlst known In every Community In London.
However, one In thrèe people In London are UnlIke￿ to have a Chrlstlan frlend. Ourln8 thelr Ilfetlme,
they are unllkely to be Irwlted to church or to hèar the best news ever- the lrfe-8lvlr8 8ospel of
Jesus.
Thls15 a tra8edy.
What Is even more heart breakln815 that many of these people I￿e In the most deprlved areas of
London or are marglna115ed In some way. Jesus rejected the cultural norms of HIS tlme to embrace
people society had pushed to the mar8lns, and ihrou8h HIS mlnlstry. Gods heart for tlwse In need Is
dlsplayed for all to see.
So, we want to reach w•ryon• In communltles least Ilkely to hearthe Bospel. Everyone I￿hn￿on
estates, every older person, everyone from other rell6lou5 ba¢k8rounds, everyone whols homekss
and on the marglns ofsoclety, and every youno person.
At LCM, we partner w￿h churches who share ? vlslon to see w•ryon• In London personally In¥lt•d
to follow Jesus Chrlst.
God calls us all to share the hope of Chrlst. Ifs a blg but It can be donel
So, we are equlppln8 ILKal churches to step out In la￿h, bulld conne¢tltsns wlth the communltles
around them and lovlngly $hare the amazln8 new5 of the 8ra¢e found In Jesus Chrlst.
B•e•ug• London n••ds J•MMI
work0￿ as a catatyst alon851de the Church, together, by Gods grace, our vlslon is to bulld up more
people In evan8ellstl¢ 0￿re0ch, so that many more people and communltle5 wlthout a Chrt5tlan
wltness In London can hearthe Ilfe-8lvln8 8ood news of Jesus Chrlst.
This kind of urban mlnlstry Involve5 working In partnershlp wlth thurches to follow Chrlsys example
In developin8 respectful and carlng relatlonshlp5 wlth people from all klnd5 of backgrounds. as 8ood
news, hope, and practical love 15 9h¥rèd. Many ol those people we come alongslde may struggle wlth
e¢onoml¢, relatlonal, physkal, soclal, family or personal troubles.
Durin8 ihe tsll end of the pandemlc of 2021, LCM ¢ontinued to persevere in a challenBinB hybrid
environrnent, wlth somè parts of society openln8 up and other5 still flrmly d05ed and churche5
everywheregrapplin6 wlth thls new thallenge. For us, this also colnclded with o new way of partnerlng
with churches.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Our heart is to See God releasing the potential of local ¢hurche$ to share the gospel wlth those around
them, particularty thosè on thè mar8ins- and to see churches, wherever they are, 8row and flourtsh
as a result.
In the area5 of london least reached by tht gospel, otsr misslonarles work closety with local ¢hurthts,
equlpplng them to bulld brld8es Into communbtles, share the 805pel and wel¢ome new belle¥ers Into
the church famllv.
In 2021 our missionaries ¢ame alongslde 271 churches in 2021 which are located In our prlorlty
areas. These churches represent approximatety 5% ¢f the evangellcal church In London. We build
relatlonships, understand thé visitsn of the thurch foroutreach, and explore how LCM can provlde
the tools to help them realise it. Prayer is always foundatitsnal to our relatlonships and prayln8
wlth a church for the losl In their local area Is the startln8 place for any outreath.
Of these, 53 churches began actlvety d15ternln8 how LCM could partner wlth them; thls could
Involve outreach pilots to begln to share the good news of jesu5 wlth local ¢ommunltles In new
ways. dlscu5sing proposals for how exlstln8 mlnlstrles (such aslood banks, youth 8roups or5enlors
club51 could bE enrlchEd wlth a deeper gospel locus, or how the church as a whole Could be
encoura8ed Into Intentlonalty bulldin8 brid8e5 Into communitie5 where Jesus Chrlst Isn't yet
known.
Of these, to date, 9 churches have foimed new partnershlps wSth LCM, resuitln8 In more everydav
Chrlstlans taklng part In actlvltle5 to See the powerful mess•8e of the gospel reach those
communltles where people are unllkely to have a Chrlstlan frlend. We are exclted to see churches
grow Into evan8ellsm and many Chrlstlans Increase thtlr confldence In slepplng out to bulld
trustln8 relatlonshlps where they can share wlth others of God's8race In Jesus.
We are dellghted to have 4 minlstries that we are currentty handlng ovef to be contlnued by k*cal
Churches. LCM has a long history of stsrtlng and handln8 over Innovatlve mlnlstrles that see the
hope of Chrfst continue to be shared wlth those othenvlse unllkely to hear. Wt remaln mlndlul
that for those who have poured their Ilve5 Into e5tablishin8 a mlnlstry, It can be a wrench to let
80. Flowever palnful, we are dèli8hted that God uses vs Ilke thls; ploneerlng new ministries can be
dauntln8 task that takes more experfence and re50urcès than stepplng Into a model whlch is set
up and fiourlshln8. Thls then enables us to use the Ilmlted resources wt have to Innovate new
mlnlstry elsewhere.
In 2021 around 1.5 mllllon people vlewed some of our Idea-8eneratln8 content at varyln8 levels.
Thb5 would Include v1511or5 to our webslte. people vlewing content on 50clal ffledia, hearln8 LCM
speakers at conference5 and churches, readln8artlcles written by LCM staff In the Chrlstian medla
a5 well as those who have recelved prlnted resources or attended our tralnln8 cour5t5. At every
step we seek to connecL Insplre and en¢oura8e people, bellevers or Mt. wlth the lrfe4hanBlnB
truth about Jesus Christ.

wlth those in London unlikely to otherwise hèar. Wè do thls by working alongside the Church in

2D. KEY EVENTS IN 2021
The tt+ronavlTus pandemlc has afle¢ted us all, many wlll ne￿ be the same a8aln. A5 the economlc
Impart of the pandemlc hlts In the aftermath, IVS those PEople In lower pald lobs, wlth less lob
securfty. who 8Te Impacted the hardest. These people are a150 often from communltle5 In London
where jesu5 Chrlst Is not known.
A5 the lockdown unfolded, The London Clty Mlsslon ¢ontlnued to work wlth churches to share the
hope that is found In jesus Chrlst wlth those least Ilkely to hear it. Our octlvitles adapted and changed
again a5 parts of 50clety opened up, but the des1￿ and urBency to share the 8ospel remained as
steadfast as ever.
Church 5peakln8 en8a8ements contlnued vla Zoom and In person, enèblln8 mlsslonades to connect
wlth our supporter base, a V￿al source of praytr and encouragement for mlnlstry. The new hybrld
environment, wilh many seryl¢es belng both onllne and In person, was challen8ln8 for chur¢hts and
the number ot speaklng engagement5 In 2021 reduced as 3 result. We were also aware wbth Sadness
that some of the smaller long lem) supporter churches have not survlved the pandeml¢. We ¢ontlnue
to trust In God's promlse to build his church.
"I will bulld my churth. and the gates ol Hades will not overcome it., Matthew 16'.18b INIVI
As misslonaries worked even more doselywlth the church in London, thry were able to support more
churches to pray and share the 805pel in word and deed with the people in their communltie5 who
were unliketyto otherwise hear It, at a tlme when the demands on manythurch lèaders had drastlcally
Increased with the reallties of the pandemlc.

tlme when people desperatety needed hope.
Thanks to our falthful supporters, we did, and continue to do, all we tan to serve practically and
5plrftually at thbs tlme. If there was ever a tlme when London needs Jesu5,1¥s now.
Mln15try r•vie* •nd str•i•irf
In ear￿ 2019, the Board of Trustees (Trustees) of LCM approved a new five-year strategy.
Pralse God far thè 21,￿0 pèople who heard the gospel, often for the flrst tlme frorn an LCM
Mlsslonary In the prevlous five years, alon6 wlth the many who responded by God's grace. However,
that left one In three people In London unllkely to have anyone to tell them the Bood news- 3 totsl
013 mllllon peoplel
In London, that mean5 we estimate one person every 30 mlnutes polentlally passes Into eternlty
wlthout ever hearlng about Ihe hope found In Jesus Chrlst- we ur8ently need to do much more to
raise up more Workers lor the horyest.
'The harvest is plentiful but the WOTker5 are few. Ask the Lord DI the harvest. therefore, to send out
workers Into His harvest.- Matthew 9'.37b-38
There are thousand5 of evan8elkal churches rt8ht across London, and hundreds of thousands of Blblfr
bellevlng Chilstlans. Wrth the rl8ht motfvatlon, tralnlng and supporL many of them can effedlvelv
share the gospel wlth the least reached people of London.
Followln8 a year-lonB mlnlsiry revlew. we made sl8nlflcant change5 In 2020, both to the role of our
mlsslonarles and to the way we work wlth churche5. For example, mlsslonarles who were worklng
wlthin one church have shlfted thelr focus to work wlth a range of churches In thelr area.
LCM reco8nlses that these changes. whllst a posltbve step for seelng more people In London reathed
wlth the gospel, could be dlfflcult for some individual mlslonarles who may not feel called to church
moblllsatlon work. The Mlsslon Is grateful for the 8ra¢e and perseverance shown by mlsslon staff
throu8h thi5 Ilffle. LCM is olways commltted to supportlnB the callln8 of God on any misslonary's Ilfe
and provlded a redundancy packa8e for those who dldn'l feel ¢alled to 80 forward wlth the chan6es.
A numberof mls5k>narlp5 took the opportunlty of voluntary fedundancyto pursue mlnlstry elsewhere,

'Ltt the glory of God and the salvation of souls be your chlef, your only alm,. were the words of
Oavld Nasmlth, who founded The Lcndon Clty Mlsslon ILCMI In 1835. Thls continues as our
heartbeat as we constantly adapt to London's ever-changlng landscape.
Sendlni n*slonarf*s
We send out mlssionarles, called, grfted and tralned In urban misslon, to work alongside London's

In busy Watney mATket, among the Saturday shoppen and traders buying and Jelling

and invite people to talk about Jesus for a few minules.
Mtssionary Matt Brinkley has led much of the training for 'Believe in Jesus, in Tower
Hamleis and is beginning to See a ¢hang¢ in the churches that are involved. 'When
churches gel involved, it gives ih¢m an impetus to start owning outreach in their
community, raiher than relying on other initiatives or campaigns," he says. "Now we want
to support churches engaging r¢gularly on their own book tables."
One local churcl) member, Liz. has just been talking to an inlarsted pgss¢r-by for half an
hour about how none of us is good enough lo have a Telationship with God. In sending
Jesus, when he died on the cross, he made that bridge from us to God, givin8 US the
opportunity lo know God's forgiveness.
She says, "All my life I have found it ditTiculi lo talk about God, but it's ￿come a lol
more natural for me to lalk about my faith and not to be worried or to be ashamed. Now
I can get to know people and be more genuine, sharing from My heart that what I believe
in is real. I might not b¢ able lo ansiver every question. but in my heart, all I wanl to do is
share the love of Je3u$."

2F. PLANS FOR FUTURE YEARS- MINISTRY
2021 contlnued to be a tlme of global ¢hallen8e as the pandemlc contSnued to alter our experience of
normal life. Thls has resulted In a new paradlgm for worl church and mlsslon. London's communltles
and churches have all been impatted by loss, e¢onomlc uncertalnty and dlfficulty, and fewer petsple
than ever are aware of the redeemln8 Work of Christ.
For The London Clty Mlsslon ILCMI, thls challen8lng Season colnelded wlth the Implementatlon of a
refreshed approach to mlnlstry to change the way we operate, by worklng alon8slde more churche5.
Our prayer Is that by bein8 a catalyst to help churches Into outrèach, we can reach more of the three
mlllion people In London who are otherwlse unllkety to hear of God's great safvatlDn plan. The
mlsslonary fleld roles were rev15ed ènd the mlrtlstrles we were Involved In changed.
In all of th15, LCM has been able to come alon8slde around 5% of London'5 evan8ellcal churches, prav
with local leaders for thelr communlties and share God's heart for the lost In London. Mlsslonarles
have been able to equip congregatlons, mlnisterln8 alon8slde them as they seek to respond to both
the health and economlc cr15es ol the pandemlc, and reach out to the people who are least Ilkety to
be reached wlth the gospel In thelr areas. And by Gorts grace. we have seen people come to faith In
Jesu5 Chrlst.
In 2021, LCM ccntlnued a lon8-term projeci to revlew Its processes, systems and structures of office-
based teams to better support fleld staff In thelr role5, Improve the way we wor*, and to better allgn
the M15slon wlth our vlsion, goa15 and values.

The propertle5 we no longer dlrertly use are generalty reco8nised as InV￿tment propertles in ovr

The lon8.term str*e8y wlll requlre an above Inflatlon growth In donatlons and legacles to reduce the

(￿er many decades, through the Beneroslty of supporters, the Lord has provlded The London City
Mlsslon ILCMI with propertles for use In servlNA the gospel. Some of these are used to house current

and some provlde a rental or investment Income whlch Is Invested in mlnlstry across London.
Only one property was purchased in 2021 for a retired member of staff, whi15t four residential
propertie5 and a centrè no longer dlrectly used for LCM mlnlstry were 501d. Meanwhile the sales of
two centres were completed In january 2022. These receipts were used to fund min15try.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
The Ministry Revlew Implementatlon wlll requlre the Sale of approximately 20 fesldentlal propertles
which wlll be replaced with nearly 20 new propertiesto better p05Itlon our staff in the areas of London
in which thry are strvlng. Thls Is a significant chan8e for LCM and may not be completed untll 2026.
Retirèment houslng
LCM continues to provlde retlrement houslng for those misslonarles who, by 2012, had achleved
20years' servke wlth the Mission. Whlle we no longer offer ihls to more recently employed
mi5sionarles, the support ol current retlrees remalns an important functlon of our property team's
workload.
Christian Centre d15posals and devèlopment
Meanwhlle, the sale of propertles no longer needed for mlnlstry and the sale of development Tl8ht5
contlnues. The plannln8 requirements mean nèw tentre space wlll be created at nearty half of these
developments. The Mlsslon wlll either rent out to churches and other tenants or sell thls space. Th15
means they would be ¢onsldered Investments and valued appropriately In future ¥counts. Piopertles

reasonably take several years to be converted Into Cash. The contlnued and 8rowlng flnanclal support
from our exlstlng and new supporters wlll ensure that thè income from these property sale5 can cover
the ¢ash shortfall of the Mlsslon Into the mlddle of the 2030's, but only If donated Income Increase5
at the same tlme. Fallure to conslstently Increase donated Income would Inevitably mean LCM scales
back Its minlstry ambltlons. Wlth such a 8reat gospel need in London, thls Is a sltuatlon, wlth God's
help, we are workln8 hard to avold.
Penslon provlslon
The Defined Benefit pension scheme closed to all new and exlsting employees In 2006. In 2021, LCM
provlded funds of £0.3m to the scheme to meet lon8-term Ilabilitiès. There Is a potentlal cost of
extin8ulshin8 the pension dètitlt and the Board has designated £2.5m1£3.5m in 20201 to Cover thls
rlsk. This provi8lon Is Ilkely to reduce further in the future based on the latest estlmates from the
scheme actuaries and quotations from the actuarles supportlng the buy-out.
In June 2022, the charlty and penslon scheme Trustees lolntly appolnted Lane Clarke and Peacock to
Idvlse on a bulk annuity purchase to cover the defined benefit pen51on 5rheme's liabilitles- known
as a scheme buyllout. Once the Ilabllltles ère fully Insured then the Penslon Scheme Trustee5 will be

able to wind-up the scheme. This is a protracted process whlth may be completed by early 2024 but
15 likely to take lon8er. No quotations hav* been received for a buy-out or purchase contracts entered
into at thb5 time.
Reserve5 poIi£v
General reseNes * the end of 2021 were £8.2m al￿ there was no provlslon requlred for the penslon

Under the T15k adjusted general reserve pollcy, the Board revlewed the iargèt In 2022 and due to the
operatlonal dellcit, declded to Increase It by £1.5m to between £6m and £7m, whith represents
around B months of operatlng u)sts.
The Trustees reco8nlse that the general reserye remalns above target partly because current assets
1operatln8 Cash and legacy accrua151 were hi8her than nornial at the end of 2021. They expect to
deslgnate additbonal funds for the Mlnlstry Sustainability Fund If thls perslsts.
Investlng for sustainable mtnistry
The value of LCM'5 Investment portfollo was £35.8m at the end of 2021, up from £32.Om In 2020. The
vast majority of thls Is held in proyrtles whlch we no longer need for mlnlstry.
The Board agreed to deslgnate £19.5rn of Investments Into a new Mln15try Sustalnablllty Fund In 2020,
wlth a further £3.Om from the 2020 closln8 reserve and £l.Orn from the Penslon provlslon at the end
of 2021. Followlng revlew of the 2021 flnantlal performance the Tru5tee5 were able to deslgnate the
£3.5m of 2021's unreallsed Investment galn5 that Wa5 not requlred to fund mlnistry durln8 the year
before releaslng £1.5m to lund ¢apbtal purchases and £1.5m to reco8n15e the In¢rea5e In the 8eneral

As a result, the designated Minlstry Sustalnablllty Fund has Increased tc £24lm at the end of 2021 and
b5 expected to remain close to thls lor a few year5 befoie fallln8 Steadlty to approxlmately nll by the
mid.2030's.
To avold scallng back mlnlstry ambitions. theTrustees stlll antlclpate usin8 future Investment gabns to
elther fund mln15try in the year they are recogn15ed or to desi8nate them to the Minlstry Su5tainablllty
Fund.
Debt pollcv
The Trustees have author15ed the rai51ng of up to £IOm of debt to secure fundln8. It expects any debt
to be pald back from planned property asset dlsP05als no later than the end of 2028. LCM has drawn
down a £2m faclllty of operational debi secured agalnst 3 propertles. Addltional fa¢llltles are unllke
to be sou8ht but the Mlsslon plans to use mort8aBe debi to purchase new resSdentlal properties and
reduce the number that are rented In.
Cash and Golng Concern
LCM contlnues to hold enough Cash to cover month-to-month expense5 for the foreseeable future.
From tlme to time, LCM can use funds held as equltles and has a debt lacllSty In place. At the end of
2021, LCM held £4.4m In liquid assets. Thè Trustees have taken a conservative view and now alm to
hold liqubd reserves at least in Ilne wlth the general reserve larget before making sl8nificant property
purchases.
In 2022, LCM does not expect to extend its debi fatllity and wlll On￿ seek mortgage offers on new
property purchèses. In addltoon, the sale5 of underused properties and development rlBht5 are

further £6m could be received in 2022 if all contracts currently under ne8Otiation or exthanged are
completed in Ilne with expertation5. In addition, the Mlsslon has recently put Nasmtth Court on the
rnèrket wlth an a5kln8 prlce of over £6.75m. The cash generated from these disposals wlll be invested
to purchase desperately needed new resldentlal propertles, so our staff can live in the arta thty are

Coronavlrus, war In Ukralne and the subsequent economlc shock wlll have an Impart on the UK and
LCM. The most slgnlflcant Impact on cashflow was the delayto the legal piocesses whlch15 mlli8ated
by the c105e monltoring of property sale & purchase transactions. The Impact of higher Inflatlon can
be Comfortably mltlgated by adju5tin8the property programme In the medlum-term whllst LCM would

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS, REPORT

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned
scope and timin8 of the audit and signifi'cant audit findlngs. Intludln8 any sl8nlficant deficlencies In

Irregularltles. Includlng fraud. are Instances of non-compllance wlth laws and re8ulatlons. We desl8n
procedures in Ilne with OUT responsibilitles, outlSned above, to detect material mlsstatements In
respect of Irregularltles. Includlng fraud. The extent to whlch our procedvres are capable of detectln8
ITre8ularltles, Includlng fraud15 detailed below.
The objectlve5 of our audlt In re5pe¢t of Iraud, are.. to Identlfy and assess the rlsks of materlal
mlsststement of ihe Ilnancial statements due to fraud,. to obtain 5ufflclent approprlate audlt evldence
re8ardin8 the as5e5sed rlsks of materlal m155tatement due to fraud, through de5ignin8 and
Implementlng approprlate responses to those assessed risks; and to respond appropriately to
Instances of fraud or suspected fraud Identllled durlng the audlt. However, the prlmary responslblllty
for the preventlon and detectlon of fraud rests wlth both management and those ¢har8ed wlth
governance of the charftable ¢ompany.
Our èpproach was as follows:
We obtalned an understandlng of the legal and regulatory requlrements appllcable to the
charltable company and consldered that the most $18nbll¢ant are the Companlès Act 2006, the
Charltles Act 2011, the Charlty SOAP, and UK flnanclal reportlng standards as L5sued by the
Flnancial Reportin8 Council
We obtalned an vnderstanding of how thè charltable compary complles wlth these
requlrements by dlscus51ons wlth mana8emenl and those charged with 81)vernan¢e.
We a55e5sed ihe rlsk of maierlal mlsstatement of the fftnanclal statsments, Including the rlsk
of materlal mlsstatement dve to fraud and how It ml8ht occur, by holdlng dlscusslons wlth
mana8ement and those charged wlth 8ovem3n¢e,
We Inquired of management and those charged wlth governance a5 to any known Instances
of non-compllan¢e or suspected non<omplian¢e wlth laws and rè8ulatlons.
Based on th15 understandln& we de518ned spe¢ili¢ appropriate audit procedures to Identlfy
Instances of non-compllance wlth laws and re8ulatlons. Thls Included maklng enqulrles of
mana8ement and those charged with 8overnance and obtainin8 additional corroboratlve
evidence as requlred.
There are Inherent Ilmltstlons In the audlt procedures de5crlbed above. We are less Ilkety to become
awère of instances of non-compllan¢e wlth laws and regulatlons that are not tlosely related to events
and transactlons reflected In the flnanclal staternents. Also, the risk of not dete¢tin8 a materlal
misstatement due to fraud Is hl8her than the rlsk of not detectlng one resultlng from error, as fraud
may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, foT8ery or intentlonal mi5rewesentations, or
throu8h collusion.
