The allocation of grants behveen different categories of charitable activity has iemained similar lo the Previous year. During 2024 a sum of 2% of the endowment's average value over the previous 2 years was paid down for distribution as grants. This is generated from paid out dividends and interest which may be incremented through capital sales rf required.

Following a strategic Teview. the trustees have decided to make grar)Is to fewer, larger national and international charities and to considerably reduce the number of charities the Trust has previously supported. The Iruslees regret that this means Ihal they are unable to cor6ider new unsolic¢ted applications for the foreseeable future. They may however on occagon. invite organisab.ons lo submit a formal application.

THE CONSTANCE TRAVIS CHARITABLE TRUST INDEPENDENT AUDITORS, REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE CONSTANCE TRAVIS CHARITABLE TRUST (CONTINUED) Auditors. rè8ponslbllltl•s for tho audlt of the financial slatgments We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charkties Act 2011 and retK)rt in accordance wlh the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. Our objectives are lo obtain reasonable a$Surar about vthelher the financial statements as a whole are free from material misslalemenl, whether due lo fraud or error. and lo issue an Audilofs, report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assu{an. bul is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS {UKI will aayS detect a material misslalemenl when il exists. Misslalemenls can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregale, they could reasonably be expected lo influence the economic decisions of usws tsken on the baS of these financial slalemenls. Irregularities, induding fraud. are instances of non-compliance wth laws and regulalions. We design procedures in line our reSpOnbIlItIeS, outlined aLMJve, lo delecl material misstatements in respect of iiregularilies, including fraud. The extenl to which our procedures ale capabie of deltIng irregularities, including fraud is detsiled below. Due to the field in which the Charity 0rates, we have Klentified the followng areas as those most likely to have a material impact on the financial slalements.. GDPR.. serious inadent rewrting and compli8e with the Chaiities Act 2011. Our approach lo identifying and asse&sing the risks of material misstalemenl in respect of ifregularilies, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows.. Enquiries wlh management about any known or su¥*cted instsnces of non-compliance with laws and regulations. alentS in Ihe workplace and fraud" Reviewng financial slalemenl disclosures and testing lo gjpporting documentation to assess the compliance with applicable laws and regulations", Auditing the risk of managemenl override of contro15. induding through testing journal entries and other adjuslmenls for appropriateness. Because of the inherenl limiialions of an audit. there is a risk that will not deted all irregularities. including those leading lo a male¥ial misstatement in the financial slalements or non-compliance wlh regulation. This risk increases the more that Complian wlh a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial slatemenls. as we will be less likely lo ttcwie aware of InStanS of non<ompliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due lo fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional Conalment, forgery, collusion. omission or MIepreSenIa"0n.
