The land is unregistered and the Trustees are in the process of taking step5 to get the freehold title registered at Land Registry in the name of Ursula Lodges Trust. The Chislehurst and Mottingham Housing Association was appointed Trustee in 1971 under the terms of a scheme approved by the Charity Commissioners.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Concluslons relating to going concern In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trust's, use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statement5 is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertaintie5 relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on Ursula Lodges Trust's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the flnancial statements are authorised for issue.

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 it exists.

We also check any large or unusual transaction5 during the course of our audit. Based on the procedures carried out during our audit we believe that there 15 3 reasonable chance of detecting irregularities in the Statutory accounts regarding non compliance with financial requirements and other laws and regulations and a moderate to small chance of detecting fraud as fraud can include collusion and concealment and our audit is not designed to detect these type5 of fraud. Ultimately, however, the frustees are responsible for the prevention and detection of fraud and irregularities.
