PAgc 22 ## **Private & Confidential** The Trustees Gwynedd Archaeological Trust Ltd Craig Beuno Garth Road Bangor LL57 2RT Dear Trustees, ## **Audit of the financial statements of the Gwynedd Archaeological Trust Limited (“GAT”) for the year ended 31 March 2021** We are writing to set out the findings from our audit of Gwynedd Archaeological Trust Ltd in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“UKGAAP”), International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) (ISAs(UK&I)) and the Charites SORP (FRS 102). ## **Significant findings from the audit** We are required under ISA (UK&I) 260 “Communication to those charged with governance” to communicate findings from our audit, including: - Our views about significant qualitative aspects of the entity’s accounting practices, including accounting policies, accounting estimates and financial statement disclosures; - Significant difficulties, if any, encountered during the audit. ## **Accounting for the Trust’s share of the deficit in the Archaeological Organisations Pension Scheme (“AOPS”)** As you are all very much aware, the Trust is a member of AOPS which is a multi-employer defined benefit pension scheme. Previously, the Trust was unable to identify its share of the underlying assets and liabilities in AOPS, and therefore the scheme was accounted for as if it was a defined contribution scheme as follows: - a) the pension contributions paid by the Trust were charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as they fell due (effectively on a monthly basis as they are paid), and - b) A liability was recorded for the deficit reduction contributions that are required to fund any deficit that arises. This was measured at the present value of the contributions payable, discounted using yields applicable to high quality corporate bonds. The charge that arises was presented in the Statement of Financial Activities together with the normal contributions. The provision recorded as at 31 March 2020 was £226,154. For the financial year ended 31 March 2021, sufficient information became available (in the form of the FRS 102 pension disclosure report provided by Quantum Advisory) that enabled the reasonable split of assets and liabilities between the participating Trusts. A change to defined benefit accounting took place as of 1 April 2020 in accordance with FRS 102 paragraph 28.8C and this is seen as a change to an improved measurement basis. As a result of this change in accounting, a transition adjustment of £753,846 (updated brought forward pension liability of £980,000 less previous provision of £226,154) has been recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities. More detail can be found in note 17 of the financial statements, and we would be happy to discuss this in more detail with the Trustees during the AGM. **St George's Court, Winnington Avenue, Northwich, Cheshire, CW8 4EE.

Registered to carry out audit work in the UK and Ireland by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales. **bennettbrooks.co.uk** ## **Appropriateness of the going concern concept** The financial statements are being prepared on the going concern basis, which means that the Trustees consider that the Trust will be able to meet its financial liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing, supported by the high levels of cash reserves held and the expected continuation of the Cadw grant. We have yet to review the forecasts for the coming 12-month period, which we hope to do before the meeting, but fully expect the going concern basis of preparation to remain appropriate. ## **Assessment of the level of primary purpose and non-primary purpose trading** As discussed in previous years, the extent of the non-primary purpose trading within the Trust will need to be monitored as a risk on an ongoing basis. We are still seeing an increasing number of Charitable organisations adopting a structure with a trading subsidiary through which the non-primary purpose trading activity can be recorded. Any surplus generated by the trading subsidiary is then passed up to the Trust via a gift-aided covenant and would therefore not be subject to corporation tax. This is a common option in order to reduce the risk of challenge in this area and I continue to recommend that this structure is considered. ## **Significant deficiencies in internal control** We are required under ISA (UK&I) 265 “Communicating deficiencies in internal control to those charged with governance and management” to communicate matters identified during the audit. The audit included consideration of internal control relevant to the preparation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control. Our work may therefore not have identified all significant deficiencies in your system of internal controls which a separate audit of internal control may reveal. We wish to draw your attention to the following matters which we identified and you may consider implementing during the course of the year. |course of the year.||| |---|---|---| |**Observation**|**Implication**|**Recommendation**| |For one new starter in the period, a copy

considered to be irrecoverable.|Income and debtors may be misstated.|We would recommend the finance team
complete a full review of outstanding
debtor balances quarterly and provide
for any balances which are unlikely to be
recovered.| ## **Auditor independence** We are required under the UK Ethical standards to report matters that bear upon the auditor’s objectivity and independence relating to the provision of non-audit services including the safeguards put in place. We provide certain accountancy services for the Trust in the preparation of the statutory financial statements and certain payroll advice during the year. The safeguards against these potential threats to auditor independence are the use of separate teams within Bennett Brooks to perform the services – these services are both performed by our Llandudno office under the direction of my fellow Director Andrew Filbee who leads the team in Llandudno. The audit is performed by a specialist audit team under my direction, and although the team members live local to the North Wales coast, are based in our Northwich head office with me. I consider appropriate safeguards to be in place and confirm that we consider both Bennett Brooks and myself as your senior statutory auditor to be independent. **St George's Court, Winnington Avenue, Northwich, Cheshire, CW8 4EE.
