We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act Z006 requires us to report to you if. in our opinion.. adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent charitable company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been receivgd from branches not visited by us.. or the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns or certain disclosures of Trustees, remuneration specified by Law are not made,, or we have not recaved aLi the inforMatn and explanations we require for our audit Responslbliltles of Trustaes for flnancl)l stst•ments As explained more fully in the Trustees. responslbilities statement set out on page uthe Trustees Iwho are also the dlrectors of the charltable company for the purposes of company lawl are responsible for the preparalion of the financial slatements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. and for such internal control as the Tru51ees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material mlsstatement, whether due lo fraud or error. In eparIng the financial stslements. the Trustees are responsible for assessing the groups and the parent charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, dlsclosing, as applicable. matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the group or the parent charitable company or to cease operations or have no realistic alternative but to do 5Q. Irregularitiès, including fraud, are instances of non-compllance with laws and reguLations, We design procedures in line with our responsibilities. outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respecl of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedure5 are capable of delecting irregularities, incLuding fraud is detailed below. Based on our understanding of the group and charitable company and the enmronment in which they operates, we idenbfied that Ihe principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations rÈiatÈd lo revenue recognilion and the completeness of expenditure. and we considered the extent lo which non-compbance might have a material effect on Ihe financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of Ihe financial slatements such as the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011. payrotl tax and sales tax. We evaluated management's incentives and opportunilies for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements lincluding the risk of override of controisl, and determined thal the principal risks werè related to related lo posling inapproprialejournal entries to revenue and management bia5 in accounting estimates. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included.. Inspecting correspondence wth regulators and tax aulhorities., 18
Discussions with management including consideration of known or suspected instances of non- compliance wrf(h laws and regulation and fraud.. Evaluating management's controls designed to prevent and cletect irregularities Identifying and testingjournaLs'. and Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in thr critical accounting estimates. Because of the inherent iimrtations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irreguLarities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the f1nancial statements or non-compliance with regulats'on. This risk increases the more that cempliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reftected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non- compliance. The risk is also g¥eateT regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud ralher than error, as fraud involves intentioral concealment. forgery, collusion. omission or misrepresentation.

i. Accountlng Pollcles l¢ontlnued) m, Taxation Th8 Charity's current trading activities are charitable and therefore, to the extent that any surpLuses are applied to ils charitable objects, the Charity is not liable to tax. and no provision is made for current or deferred tax by the Charity. No provision 15 made for current or deferred tax on any profits arising in the year generated by the Charity's subsidiaries which are expected to be offset by the carry back of future donations to the Charity.

The companys liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Other than as described above. deferred tax is recognlsed Sn respect of all timlng differences between taxable profits and the net movement in funds that have originated but nol reversed at the balance sheet dale.

Keyjudgements and sources of estimation and uncertslnty The preparation of financial statomer)ts in conformity with genorally accepted aceeunting practice requires management lo make judgemenis and eslimales that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as well as the di5c105ure of contingent assets and abltIeS at the statement of financial position date and the reported arnount5 of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The estimates and assoclated assurnptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from those estimates. In preparing the f1nancial statements, the only judgements which had, or could have had, a material impact on the financial statemenls is the adoption of the going concern basls for the preparation of the financial statements las explained abovel and the assessment of whether a freehold property that is currently sublet should bÉ¥ classed as an investment property or. as is currently the case, noL If in future the property is recia$5ified as an investment property. it will need to be Staled al 115 fair value rather than depreciated cost. whlch 15 likely to re5uII in an increase In the reported nel a55ets of the Group, The only niaterial estimate required is the estimated useful lives of assets and their r95idual values, which are described above.
