REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 Living Wage Grant Funder The Aldgate and Allhallows Foundation was pleased to have achieved accreditation as a Living Wage Funder. This signifies our commitment to ensuring that all positions supported by our funding, either fully or partially, offer wages that align with the Real Liwr)g Wage. As a responsible grant-making organisation, it is of utmost importance to us to ensure that all employment roles funded by the Foundation receive fail compensation and contribute to the ending of low pay within the third sector. In line with this objective, the Foundation strongly encourages all organisations seeking funding to budget for salaiies at the Real Living Wage, at the very leasL when calculating their costs. Applications should also include provisions for'cost of living increases- in multi-year grants. Although organisations are not required to be accredited knving Wage Employers prior to applwng for funding, we will encourage giantees to consider accTedhtation. The Real Living Wage is a voluntary. houdy late of pay that is based on the actual cost of living. The rate is independently calculated based on what people need to get by and is updated each year. The current Real Living Wage i £11.95 in London and £10.90 in the UK. These rates were announced on Thursday 22nd September 2022.

Based on the work we have performed. we have not identtfied any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the 's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial Statements are authori5ed for issue. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the governors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

In preparing the financial statements, the governors are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the governors either intend to cease operations. or have no Tealistic altemative but to do so. Auditor'5 responsibilities for the audit of the finantial statements We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect ihereunder. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance atM)ut whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. and to 155ue an auditor's report that inclLJdes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS lu￿ 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. The extent to whiih our procedures are capable of detecling irregulartties, including fraud, 15 detailed below. The extent to which the audit wa5 considered capable of deterting irregularitie5 including fraud In identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respecl of irregularities. including fraud and non- cornpliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following= The nature of the industry and sector, control environment and performance., Re5uIt5 of our enquiries of Management about their own identification and a55essment of the risks of Any matters we identified having obtained and review the charity's doojmentation of their policies and procedures relating to,. identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulation and whether they were aware of any instances on non-compliance-, detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud., the internal controls established to mitigate risks of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations., The matters discussed among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud. As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisations for fraud. In common with all audits under ISAS IUKI, we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management oveTride. We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framewotks that the charity operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts disclosed in the financial statements. In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial Statements but compliance with which may be fvndamental to the chariws ability to operale or to avoid a material penalty. THE ALDGATE AND ALLHALLOWS FOUNDATION INDEPENDENT AUDrroR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE GOVERNORS OF THE ALDGATE AND ALLHALLOWS FOUNDATION Audit response to risks identified To address the risk of fraud through management bias and (Trverride of controls. we= performed analyiical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships.. tested journal entries to idenlify unusual transartions., assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates we indicative of potential bias,. and investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transaction& In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to.. agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation.. reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance-. and enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigations and claims There are inherent limitations in our audit procedure5 described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial tran5action%, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder lo detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
