OXFORDSHIRE COUNTY SCOUT COUNCIL Independent Auditorfs Report to the Trustees for the Year Ended 31st March 2025 Oplnlon We have audited the financial statements of Oxfordshire County Scout Council for the year ended 31st March 2025, which comprise the Statement of Financial AclivitEs, the Balance Sheet and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Stsndards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 Th8 Financial Rgporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland {Uniled Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounts'ng Pra¢li¢el. In our opinion the financial statements.. give a true and fair view of the slate of the charty's affairs as at 31st March 2025, and of its incoming resources and of its application of resources, for the year then ended,. have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice., and have been prepared in accordance with the requirement5 of the Charities Act 2011.

We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC'S Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtsined is sufficient and appropriate to piovide a basi5 for our opinion. Conclusions relating to going concern In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded thatthe tnjslees, use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or colleelively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the finan¢hql statements are authorised for issue. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sectn$ of this report.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except lo the extent otherwise explicitly staled in our report, we do not express any ft)rm of assurance conclusion thereon. In Connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements, or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appear5 to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies oi apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misststemenl in the financial statements 01 a material misstatement of the other information.

OXFORDSHIRE COUNTY SCOUT COUNCIL Independent Audltor's Report to the Trustees for the Year Ended 31st March 2025 Matters on whlch are required to rgport by exceptlon We have nothing lo report in respect of the following matters in relation lo whh the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report lo you rf, in our opinion.. the informabon given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect Wkth the trustees. report.. or sufficient accounting records have not been kept., or the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting record$,' or we have not received all the information and explanations we require ft)r our audit. Responsibilities of trustees As explained more fully in the Iruslees. responsibilities statement the trustees are responsible for the preparation of financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for $u¢h internal control as the trustees determined 1$ necessary to enable the preparation of financial statemenls that are free frorn material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. As explained more fully in the Iruslees, responsibilities statement the Iruslees are responsible for the preparation of financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees deterrnined is necessary lo enable the preparatson of financial stslements that are free from material misslalemenl, whether due to fraud or error. Audltorfs responslbilrtles for the audlt of the financlal statements We have been appointed as auditor under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assur2nee is a high level of assurance, bul it is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordan¢e with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when il exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expe¢ted to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial slatemenls. Irregularities, including fraud. are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design Procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above. to delecl material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.. Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential l*tigatson and claims. Reviewing minutes of meebngs of those charged with governance. Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing lo supporb.ng documentation to assess compliance with applicable 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 business rationale of significant Ir8nsaGlion5 outside the normal course of busine55 and reviewing accounting eslimales for bias. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not delect all irregularities. including those leading to a mateiial misstatement in the financial slalements or non<omplian¢e with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a 18w or regulation Is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial stalemenls, as we will be less likely to become aware of instance5 of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due lo fraud rather than error. as fraud involves intentional concealment. forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website al.. www.frc.org.uklauditorsresponsibililies. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
