Police Crime Commissioner funded until March 2028.
Reserves Polic
The General Purposes Committee has established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed
or invested in tangible fixed assets held by the Charity should be belween three and six months of the
resources expended. Based on the current year. this equates to between £317,525 and £635,050. Afler
allowing for funds invested in tangible fixed assets of £83.096 and committed cost of salaries to be
covered by designated funds of £35,815, the General Purposes Committee feel the available unrestricted
funds of £687,504 at 31 March 2024 are sufFicient for the charity to continue operating its current
activities. Potential redundancy payments are calculated at £167,814.
Investment Polic
The General Purposes Committee has considered the most appropriate policy for investing funds and
has found that a Unit Trust with St James Place Wealth Management met the charity's requirements.

In our opinion the financial statements:

of its incoming resources and application of reSoUr￿s. including its income and expenditure, for
the year then ended.
have been properly prepared in accordan￿ with United Kingdom Generally AC￿pted Accounting
Practi￿. and

ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we
have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees, 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 Un￿rtaIntieS relating to
events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable
company's ability to continue as a going con￿rn for a period of at least twelve months from when the
financial statements are authorised for issue.

financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other
information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to
the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any fomi of assurance conclusion
thereon. 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 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.
Nollinghamstiire. 'IKlome.o s Aid Lld

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion. based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
the information given in the trustees, report. which includes the directors, report prepared for the
purposes of company law, for the financial year for which the financial ststements are prepared
is consistent with the financial statements. and
the directors, report included within the trustees, report has been prepared in accordance with
applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained
in the course of the audit, we have not identtfied matersal misstatements in the directors, report included
within the trustees, report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006
requires us to report to you if. in our opinion:
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or retums adequate for our audit have not been
received from branches not visited by us. or
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and retums., or
certain disclosures of trustees, remuneration specified by law are not made., or

the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordan￿ with the small
cornpanies, regime and take advantage of the small companies, exemption in preparing the
directors, report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees. responsibilities statement set out on page 8 the trustees (who are
also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for 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 detemiine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements. the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's
ability to continue as a going concem. disclosing. as applicable, matters related to going concern and
using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable
ompany or to cease operations. or have no realistic altemative but to do so.
Auditor responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assuran￿ 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 assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordan￿ with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or e￿or 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.
Irregularities, including fraud. are InStan￿S of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design
procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect
of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting
irregularities. including fraud is detailed below.
Nottinghamshire Women's Aid Ltd 10

The extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities including fraud
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risk of material misstatement in respect of irregularities,
including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations. was as follows".
The engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate
competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws
and regulations;
We identified the laws and regulations applicable to the charity through discussions with trustees
and other management, and from our knowledge and experience of the charity sector and grant
providers.
We focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material
effect on the financial statements or the operations of the charity, including the Companies Act
2006, Charities Act 2011. taxation legislation and data protection, anti-bribery, employment.
environmental and health and safety legislation;
We assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through
making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence., and
Identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team
remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.
We assessed the susceptibility of the charity's financial statements to material misstatement, including
obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur. by:
Making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud,
their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud.
Considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws
and regulations,. and
Understanding the design of the charity's remuneration policies.
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:
Performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships.,
Tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions;
Assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates
set out in note 2 were indicative of potential bias" and
Investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.
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:
Enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims. and
Reviewing correspondence with HMRC, relevant regulators and the company's legal advisors.
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and
regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-
compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-complian￿ with
laws and regulations to enquiry of the trustees and other management and the inspection of regulatory
and legal corresponden￿. if any.
Material misstaternents that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as
they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

1) Accounting policies
Charity information
Nottinghamshire Women's Aid Limited is a private company, limited by guarantee incorporated in
England and Wales. The registered office is The Farr Centre, Chapel Walk, Worksop,
Nottinghamshire. S80 1 LR.
a) Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordan￿ with Accounting and Reporting by
Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in
accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 1021
(issued in October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in
the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006
and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling. which is the functional currency of the charity.
Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost of transaction value unless otherwise
stated in the relevant accounting policy note.
The principal accounting policies are summarised below. The accounting policies have been
applied consistently throughout the year and the pre￿dIng year.
b) Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the General Purposes Committee have a
reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate reSoUr￿S to continue in operational
existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the general purposes committee continue to adopt the
going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
c) Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the General Purposes Committee in
furtheran￿ of the objectives of the charity. Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their
expenditure as imposed by the donor.
d) Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when it is recognised
there is entitlement. it is probable. measurable and can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.
Income is deferred when the donor specifies that the funds must be used in future accounting
periods or if the donor's conditions have not been met.
e) Resources expended
All expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Costs are allocated
to the expenditure categories of the Statement of Financial Activities on a basis designed to reflect
the use of the resour￿. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly. others are
apportioned on an appropriate basis.
Support costs are allocated in line with budget allowance and need. Where possible, we aim to
achieve full cost recovery.

Financial assets I liabilities
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments. and
Section 12 '0ther Financial Instruments Issues, of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes
party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a
short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or
similar account
Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at
settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently,
they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received
The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts
g) Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Assets costing less than £1,000
are not generally capitalised. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less
residual value of each asset over its expected useful life.
Depreciation is calculated as follows:
Improvements to leasehold property Straight line over ten year rent-free period of lease
Buildings
2 % on a straight line basis
Plant and machinery
250/0 on a straight line basis
Fixtures, fittings and equipment
250/0 on a straight line basis
h) Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carying amounts of its tangible assets to
determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If
such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the
extent of the impaiment loss (if any).
i) Investments
Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are valued
initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year-end.
j) Pensions
The pension costs charged in the financial statements represent the contribution payable by the
company during the year to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes. The regular cost of
providing retirement pensions and related benefits is charged to the profit and loss account over
the employees, seNice lives on the basis of a constant percentage of eamings.
2) Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity's accounting policies. the General Purpose Committee are required
to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated
assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be
relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to
accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the
revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the
revision affects both current and future periods.
