Suffolk Communlty Fornm Indepelldtnt *udltors' report to the trllstees of Suffolk Communlty Forrym We have auditcd the financial statements of Suffolk Community Forum for the yr ended JI March 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Summary Income and Expendire AccounL the Balance Sheet and the related not¢s.The financial repDrting framework that h8s been applted in their prq)aration is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards. including Finaftcial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Stsndard applicablc in the UK and Rcpublic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Ac¢ept¢d Aceounling PrBcliee). In our opinion. the accounts: - give a trne and fair view of the state of the Charitys aff81rs as at 31 March 2023 and of its incoming resources and application of resources. foT the Year then end. - have be¢n properly ppared in accordance with United Kingdorn Genetally Awted Accouotsng PTactic¢. Basis for opinion We ¢ODdu¢ted our audit in accordance with tnternational Stsndard5 on Auditing (UK) {ESAs (UK)) and appli¢abl¢ law. Our responsibilitie5 under those 5taodards are furth¢r described in the Auditorfs responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements s¢¢tion of our rert. We are independ¢nt of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to out audit of the fwaocial statements tn the UK, including the FRC'S Ethical standar and we have lfilled our other ethical responsibilities in xwrdance with these tequirements. W¢ beli that the audit evidence we have obtsined is suffici¢nt and appropriat¢ to provide a b&8is for our opinion. Condusions relatlng to going ¢ODcern The trnstees, have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis as they do not intend to liquidate the Charity or to cease their operations. They have also concluded that there are no material Uncertn"¢5 that could have cast significant doubt over thcir ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements Clhe going con¢ern periodl. ltt our evaluation of the In¢¢$, conclusions. we consid¢ted the inlkerent risks to the ChaTity's business model and analysed bow those tisks might affect the Clwity's financial re50ur¢¢s or ability to continue operations over the going concern period. tn audititig tbe fmancial statements, we have concluded that the ttwtees, use of the going con¢thi basis of aCutirtg in the preparation of th¢ financtal stst¢meDts is appropriAt¢. Based on the Work we bave performed we have not id¢ntified any material uncertaintie5 relating to events or conditio$ tha¢ indivldually or colle¢tively. may wt significant doubt on the Charity's ability to continue &5 a going concern for a peTiod of at least twelve tnonths from the date when the fmancial statements ar¢ authorised for issue. However, &5 we cannot pred&cl all future events or conditions and as sub5equcnl events may Tesuli ID outcomes that are inconsistent with judgements that weT¢ Tea50nable at the time they were tnade, the absence of r¢feren¢¢ to a material uncertainty in this auditor's report is not a guardntce that the Charity will continu¢ in operntion.
