Description
Response
**Findings **
Management
override
 With any control system, there is the risk
that control systems can be by-passed by
those senior members of the management
team with the ability to initiate an execute
transactions and accounting entries without
the need to follow the established control
systems and procedures.
As part of our review, we plan to test the appropriateness of
journal entries recorded in the accounting ledgers. This
review will include a detailed examination of a sample of
individual journal postings, in addition to reviewing the nature
and frequency of journal activity.
Should any significant novel or contentious transactions, that
arise outside of the normal course of business come to our
attention during the audit; we will obtain a full understanding
for the business rationale underpinning the transaction and
report our findings in our audit findings report accordingly.
Our work was conducted in line with the approach described
to the right.
We have reviewed a sample of journal entries recorded in
the general ledger and have identified no unusual entries
outside the normal course of the business or outside our
understanding of the business and its operations. We have
noted no accounting estimates that could result in material
misstatement due to fraud and we have identified no
potential indicators of management override of internal
controls during the course of our audit.
Accounting estimates and significant transactions have been
reviewed and have been deemed appropriate for the nature
of the entity and in line with our understanding of the charity
and its environment.
Going concern
There is significant economic uncertainty
surrounding the impact that Covid-19 will have
and now long the impact will go on for. As such
this creates uncertainty around the ability of the
charity to continue as a going concern.
In addition, the implementation of ISA 570 (UK)
Revised Going Concern has resulted in
enhanced risk assessment and greater
challenge and work effort to be performed by
us, when evaluating management’s assessment
in relation to going concern. Further details of
the changes to the standard can be foundhere.
We shall build sufficient time to perform this
review as part of our audit engagement. We
shall notify you in good time if it is necessary for
you to defer your reporting deadlines to ensure
our quality audit is not compromised and to
allow management time to reassess any
judgements and estimates as necessary.
As part of our audit we will consider:
 The forward-looking assumptions used by management
in their assessment relating to going concern.
 Management’s sensitivity analysis to reasonably possible
changes in their assumptions, including downsides.
 Management’s scenario analysis and contingency plans.
 Supporting evidence provided by management for their
assumptions, and related disclosures, and challenge
where necessary.
 Appropriateness of related disclosures in the financial
statements, depending on the degree of sensitivity to
changes in assumptions and whether there is a
significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the
carrying amount of assets and liabilities.
 Implications, if any, for our audit report.
We will seek written representations from management
about their plans for the future and the feasibility of their
plans.
We obtained forecasts from management which covered a
period until July 2022 which is at least 12 months from our
anticipated sign off date.
We obtained supporting documentation where appropriate to
support the numbers in the forecasts.
We reviewed the adequacy of the disclosures in the financial
statements, specifically the going concern accounting policy
and the strategic report and can confirm that these
disclosures are adequate.
We sensitised the forecasts based on a fall in pupil numbers,
and given the significant amount of cash and investments
that the charity has, pupil numbers would have to fall
significantly for the charity to start to run out of cash.
Therefore we can conclude that there is no material
uncertainty in respect of going concern.

Recommendations on controls

We have set out below recommendations on internal controls which came to our attention during the course of our audit work. This does not constitute a comprehensive statement of all internal control matters or of all improvements which may be made and has addressed only those matters which have come to our attention as a result of the audit procedures performed. An audit is not designed to identify all matters that may be relevant to you and accordingly the audit does not ordinarily identify all such matters.

Assessment Issue and risk

Recommendations

Donations posted to reserves

It was identified that some donation income ⚫ was posted straight to reserves rather than through restricted income in the year. This is a risk as it could lead to misstated Management Response financial statements at the year end.  Management response outstanding

Misstated LTC income and deferred income

Recommendations deferred income  It is recommended that going forward better communication is made with finance so they know what courses are taking It was identified that some LTC income was place post year end and therefore what should be deferred. incorrectly recognised at the year end, as the course took place post year end and should have been deferred, as a result of a Management Response miscommunication between finance and  Management response outstanding training.

Recommendations

Understated fixed asset additions  It is recommended that invoices are reviewed in more detail around the year end to determine what period they relate From our post year end invoice review, we ⚫ identified £190k for fixed asset work that related to the period ended 31 March 2021 to and therefore whether they should be accrued for. which wasn’t recognised in the financial Management Response statements. 

RSM UK Audit LLP

The Loddon Foundation │ 31 March 2021 audit findings report

Other matters to be reported

Significant qualitative aspects of the entity’s accounting practices

Accounting policies

Fair value of investment property

Investment properties are measured at fair value through the profit or loss account. This fair value estimate should be re-assessed at each year-end to ensure any gains/losses are appropriately recorded.

The accounts currently disclose that there is no change to the fair value of the investment property at the year end compared to the prior year. To support this, we reviewed property price index movements which showed that the prices for similar properties in the area had increased by c£30k. This is immaterial and confirms that the fair value of the investment property is correct at the year end. It also provided comfort that the investment property was not impaired at the year end.

Management judgements and accounting estimates

The following areas are considered to be the principal accounting estimates. The graphic below visually represents the impact (lower or higher) on the financial statements of a change in management’s estimate. In overview, a reasonably possible change in estimate that has a low impact means that such a change will have limited impact on the financial statements. Conversely a reasonably possible change that has a higher impact, means that such a change can have a significant impact.
