Risk Mana oment The Charity invests in quoted securities for the long tem with a view to maintaining the capital value of the investments and $8curing a rising income. The holdlng of securities and Investing activities pursuant to the investment policy involve certain inherent risks. Events may occur that result in either a reduction in the value of the Charity's capital or a reduction in dividend and interest income. The main risk from holding investments is market price risk, which arises mainly from uncertalnty about fu￿re price5 of securities. It represents the potential loss the Char51y may suffer through holding market positions in the face ofprice movements. Market price risk is mormtoied on a daily basis by the Investment Manager and discussed with the Administrator. The other risks, liquidity risk and cash flow risk. 8re minimised because the Charity's investments are all readily realisable and can be sold to meet any funding commitments.

INDEPENDENT AUDrroRS' REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE GERALD MICKLEM CHARITABLE TRUST Responslbllllles of Trustees As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees, Responsibilities set out on pages 4 and 5, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statsments arml forbeing satisfied that they giv8 a tnje and fair view. and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparallon of financial statements that are free from material misstatemert whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements. the Trustees are responsible for assessing the Charitys ability tt) continue as a going concem. discloslng, as applicable, matters related to golng concem and using the going concem basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidale the Charity or to cease operations. or have no realistic altemative but to do so. Auditor'5 responslbllltles for the audit of the financial statements We have been appointed as audttors under Section 144 of Ihe Charities Act 2011 and report in a(￿rdan￿ with the regulations made under section 154 ofthat Act. Our objectiv8s are to obtain reasonable assuran(￿ about wh8th8r the financlal statements as a whole are free from material misststement. whether due to fraud or error. and to issue an audrtols report that includes our opinion. Reasonab18 assur8nce is a hlgh level Of assurance. but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Missl2tements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate. they could reasonably be expected to influence the e￿noMiC decisions of users taken on the basi5 of these financial ststements. Irregularitles, induding fraud. are inStsn￿$ of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularlties. including fraud. The exientto which our procedures are capable of detecting Irregularities. including fraud Is detailed below- We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the charity via discussions with the Trnstees and our previous knowledge of the Charity. This identified that the m¢)St $lgnificanl laws and regulations relate to the form and ccfitent of the financial statements such as the Charities Act 2011, the Charities SORP (FRS 102) and Fir)ancial Reporbng Standard 102. The charity complies with these laws and regulations by using appropriately qualified professionals to prepare the financial statements. Procedures Performed by the audit team included.. Discusslon with management 8nd those charged wlth govemance regarding considèratlon of known or suspected instan￿$ of non4ompliance with laws and regulations 8nd fraud,. Obtaining an understanding of controls designed to prevent and detect I￿egularities. Discussing the outcome of trustee m￿tingS for evidence of any fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations,- Communicating relevant laws 8nd regulations and potenti81 fraud risks to all engagement team members and remaining alert to any indicators of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout tho audiL and Assessing adJu5trnents as part of our planned audit appr(xch As part of our planning process we assessed SU￿p￿bI1ty Df the Charit￿s financial statements to material misstatements. including how fraud might occur by making an 8ssessment of the key risks. The key risks identified in respect of The Gerald Micklem Charilable Trust are revenue recognition and efigibility of charitable giving. The Tnjstees confirrned no actual. suspected or alleged cases of fraud. Based Dn this assessment we designed our audit prccedures to address these key risk areas with an emphasis on testing the income and gains the investrnents. the income on invesbnent property and the charitsb18 donations made. Because there is inherent limltatlons In an audit. there is the risk that we will not detect all Irregularfties, includlng those leading to a material misstatement in the financial Ststsments or non-compliance with regulation. This risk is enhanced where complianc• wlth 8 law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likety to identfy instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurrlng due to fraud rather than error. as fraud involves a deliberate intension to deceive. Page 7
