Girfguiding Anglia annual report Yeor ended 31 December 2024 &b Girlguiding Anglia Chair of trustees. report for 2024 2024 was the year of finance for Girlguldlng Anglia and especially within the chiefs team. We started the yoar with the decision to appoint a new member to the chief's team who would be able to support all members on financial matters and so in May, Claire Course (deputy chief commissioner) and l interviewed and appointed Laura Kennard as an assistant chief commissioner. Laura has brought a wealth of experience with her and hos supported not only the region off ice but also our lead volunteers and trustees. In October, Laura led a finance training at our region conference which was followed bytrustee training. Since conference, Louro has worked on the induction process with Claire and l and has led trustee training for trustees, lead volunteers and new county commissioners. As chief commissioner and chair of region trustees, I want to mak8 sure that guiding is accessibleto all. In 2024, Girlguiding Anglia received £41.000 from Girlguiding. Driven by Claire Course,this fund suworted girls around the region with fees, uniform etc so that we were able to reach out and support as many members as we can. Anglia had an amazing summer when Hautbois staff held our very first Hautbois Fest which was a sell out and the girls and adults who were able to attend had an amazing time listening to music.trying something newand crafts. We can't wait to see what's in store this year for the Brownig Spectocular event and of course, Hautbois Fest in 2026. Following a short consultation with our members, we took on the task of rewewing our region constitution in July.

Chris Skinner (assistantchief commlssion8r) has worked tirelessly with the international team and l am delighted that 2025 will see several international trips takg plac8.

Our responsikn'ltyis to read the other information and, in doing so. consider whether the other information is materially inconsistentwith thefinancial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If. based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Matters on which we are required to report by exception We have nothing to report in respectofthe following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion: the information given in the trustees, report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements: or suff icient accounting records have not been kept or the finoncial statements are not in agreementwith the accounting records: or we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit Responsibilities of trustees As explained more fully in the trustees. responsibilities statement set out on page 2, the trustees are responsiblefor the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financiol statements that are free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or error.

Our objectives areto obtain reosonableassurance about whether the financiol statements as a whole ore free from material misstatamen¢ whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's reportthat includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is o high level of assurance, but is noto guarantee that an audit conducted in accordancewith ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements 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 these financial statements. Irregulorities including fraud. are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations.

Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the busin8ss rationale of signrficanttransactionsoutsidethe normal course of business and r8viewing accounting estimates for bias. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that complionce with o law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the finoncial statements. as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance.
