Basls for oplnkin
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing IUKI {ISAs (UK)) and
applitable law. Our r95ponsibililies underlhose standards are fvrther described in theAudilorfs responsibilities

requirements. We b&liev8 that tha audit 8VkI8nc@ we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide 8
basis for our opinion.
Conclusions rnlatlng to golng concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have conclLwJed that the board's use of the going concern basis of
accounting in the preparation of the financial st*menl$ is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed. we have not identified any material uncertainties r8faling to events or
conditions that. individually or eollectNely. may cast signiftsnl doubt on the soryety's ability to continue as
going concem for a perioj of at least tsVe￿e months from whon the financial statements arè authorised for

Our responsibilities and tha r8sponsibiliti8s of the board with respect to going concern are described in thè

except to the extenl othe￿ise explicitly stated in Ouf report, we do nol express any form of assurance

or apparent material misststements, we are required lo determine whether this gives rise to a material
misslalement in the financial slalemanls themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude
that there is a material misstatement of this other infomiation, we are required to report that faet.
We have nothing to ￿port in this regard.

Responsibllitles of the board
As explained more fulty in the board's responsibilities statement set ￿Jt on page 6, the board members (who
slso thè diréctors of thè soc* for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparatk?n of
the financial statemen15 and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair v￿, and for such internal control
as the board determine is necessary to enable the preparatKJn of financial $tstements that affj free from
m*erial misstatement, whether du8 to fraud or error.

basis of accounting unless th8 board gither intgnd$ to liquidate the association or to cease operations, or has
no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditorfs responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Ourobjectives aTe to obtain reasonable assurance aboLrt whelherthe financial statements a5 a whole are freè
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or eTror, and lo i$$ue an audi(or'$ report that includes our
inion. Reasonable assuTanc8 is a high18v81 of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audrt condud8d in
accordance with ISAS IUKI will ahvays detect a material misstalemant when it exists. Misstatements can arise
from fraud or error and are Gonsidered material rf. individually or in the aggregate. they ¢ould ￿?sonab￿ be
expected to influence the econom￿ decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial slalements.
Irregularitte8, including fraud, are instances of norkcompliance with Lgws and regUlat￿n$. We design
procedures in line with our responsibilities, o¥JUined above, to delect material misstatements in respect of
irregularrtie5, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are ¢apable of detecting irregularities,
including fraud is detsiled below..
We (*)t8ined an understanding of the leg81 and regulatory requir8ments applicable to the society and
considered that the most signfficant are the Companies Act 2006. the Housing and Regeneration Act
2008 and Th& Accounting Direction for privat8 r8gist8r8d providers of social housing in England 2019.

The Abbeyfield Baslldon Soclety Llmlted
Independent Auditorfs Report
Year Ended 31 March 2025
We assessed the risk af material misstatement of the financial statements, including the risk of material
misstatement due lo fraud and how Il might cccur, by holding discussions with management and thosè
charg&J with governance.
We inquired of management and those charged with governa￿e as to any known instances of non-
compliance or suspected non<ompliance with laws and reguLetions.
Based on this understanding, we designed specific appropriats audit procedures to identify instances of
non-compliance with laws and regulations. Thi$ included making enquiries of management and those
charged with governan￿ and obtaining additional corroboratNe evidence as required.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all i￿egULaritieS, i￿luding
those leading to a material misstatement in the financi81 statements or non-compliance with regulation. This
risk increases the more that compliance with a law or reguiation is rernov8d from the ev8nts and transaction8
raflactad in Ih&financial stalemenls. as we will be less likely lo become aware of instances of non-compliance.
The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves
intentional concealment, forgery, collus￿n, omB5ion or wisrepresentalion.
