WOMENS CENTRE DERRY LTD TRUSTEES. REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023 Going concern The charity's largest source of grant funding is from the Prosper 4 project funded by the Department for the Economy's Northem Ireland European Social Fund programme. This programme has been restructured from 1 April 2023 and moving foTh4ard will be funded through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. Women's Centre Derry will continue to deliver this programme from 2023124 onwards as part of a consortium. Accordingly, activit'tes will be scaled back in line with reduced funding through this project. Furthemiore. the Women's Centre Dery receives funding from the Department for Communities for core salary Costs. Due to the uncertainty arising from the lack of an operational Executive at Stormont, this funding is currently confirmed until September 2023. The trustees have a reasonable expectation that this funding will be exlended, however are also planning to mttigate the risk of funding not being secured by sourung altemative funding and considering alternative income slreams. The trustees have also considered the extent lo whith activities and expenditure should be curtailed, should circUmstan￿S arise. Reserves Policy The Truslees ￿nsider it prudent to hold monies in reserve in the event that unforeseen orcUmstan￿S should lead to financial dfficulties which might put the future of its employment capaoty. general charitable work and propety in jeopardy. The Trustees have examined the charity's requirements for reserves considering the main risks to the organisation and established a formal policy which stipulates that free reserves be maintsined at a level which ensures thal the charity's core activity could continue during a period of unforeseen difficulty. Free reseNes are defined by the Trustees as unrestricted income fvnds freely available for use as the charity so detemines and thereby exdudes any funds committed. invested in tangible r￿ed assets held by the charity and restrided or designated fijnds. It is the policy of Ihe charity that unrestricted fijnds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to belween three and six month's expenditure. The Trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding. they will be able to rx)ntinue the Gharivs current activities while consideration is gtven to ways in which additional funds may be raised. Based on the year ended 31 March 2023 expendtture (excluding depreciation and non-recurring costs) of £506,259, the target level of reserves is £125.000 10 £250.000. Free reserves of the charity as at 31 st March 2023 are £290,059, therefore the Trustees are pleased to confirm that the charity is compliant wtth rts reser4es policy. The Tnjstees continue to strive to maintain a general level of ￿se￿Ie$ in accordance with their policy so that they will be able to continue the current actiwties of the charity. Within unrestricted fvnds, a designation of £459.364 has been set aside rep￿sented by the property at 5 Guildhall Square owned and used by the charity on an on-going basis for Gharitable activities. The designated fvnds balance is equivalent to the depreaated historic cost of the capital expenditure. A sum equivalent to the depreciation charge on the building will be allocated ea¢h year to the de￿gnated fund, until it is fully amortised. Risk management The Trustees has assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are In place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. The Trustees. in conjunction with the senior management team. are aware of the major risks to vthich the charity Is exposed. Whère appropriate. systems or procedures have been established to mitigate the risks the charity fa￿s. Intemal control risks are minimised through the procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects. Procedures are in place to ensure compliance wtth applicable laws and regulations.

We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, induding the FRC'S Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordan￿ with these requirements. We believe that the audr( evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Emphasis of matter We draw attention to note 1.2 of the financial statements. which describes that the charity receives funding for core salary ￿St$ from the Department for Communities, which is currently confirmed until September 2023 due to Ihe lack of an operational Executive at Storynont. Our opinion is not modffied in this ￿spe￿. Conclusions relating to going concern In auditing ihe financial statements, we have conduded that the Trustees. use of the going concem basis of accounting in the preparation of Ihe financial 5tstements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties ￿lating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the ¢harity'S ability to continue as a going concem for a period of at least hvefve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

WOMENS CENTRE DERRY LTD INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE MEMBERS OF WOMENS CENTRE DERRY LTD Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit.. the information given in the Trustees. report for the financial year for which the financial ststements are prepared, which indudès the directors. report prepared for the purposes of company law, is consistent with the financial statements- and the direGtors' report induded 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 charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors. report induded 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 rf, in our opinion: adequate accounting records have not been kept, or retums adequate for our audit have not been re￿iVed from branches not visited by us.. or the financial statements are not in agreement with the a¢¢ounting records and retums; or certain disdosures of trustees, remuneration specified by law are not made; or we have not received all the infomiation and explanations we require for our audit., or the Trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies. exemptions in preparing the Trustees, report and from the requiremenl to prepare a strategic report. Responsibilities of Trustees As explained more fully in the statement of Trustees, responsibiltties. the Trustees, who are also the directors of the charity for the purpose of company law. are responsible for the prepaiation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such intemal control as the Trustees determine 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 Trustses are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concem and using the going con¢em basis of accounting unless the Trustees er¢her intend to I￿uldate the charitabbe company or to cease operations, or have no realistic atternative bul lo do so. Auditorfs responsibilities for the audit of the financbal statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. and to issue an auditoffs report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance bLrt is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a malerial misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material rf, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of usets tsken on the basis of these financial statements. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularitres, including fraud, is detailed below.

WOMENS CENTRE DERRY LTD INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE MEMBERS OF WOMENS CENTRE DERRY LTD Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities. including fraud The objectives of our audit in respect of fraud. are- to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud- to obtsin sufficient appropriate audit eviden￿ regarding the assessed risks of material misststement due to fraud, through designing and implementing appropfiate responses to those assessed risks,. and to respond appropriately to instances of fraud or suspected fraud identffied during the audit. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and delection of fraud rests with both management and those charged with governan￿ of the charitable company. Based on our understanding of the chariiable company and its operating environment. we deterniined that the most significant frameworks which have a direct impact on the preparation of the finanual statements are those related to the reporting framework, (FRS 102, the Charities Act (Northem Ireland) 2008, The Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2015, the Charity SORP and the Companies Acl 2006). Additionally. we concluded that there are significant laws and regulations in relation lo the companys charitable status and actNities of which non4ompliance may have a matertal effect on the financ4al ststements. We assessed the susceptibility of the charitable company's ffinancial ststements to material misstatement, including how fraud might oc¢ur, including evaluating managemenfs incentives and opportunities to managè earnings or influence the reported resutts. From the resutts of our assessment, we detemiined that the principal risks of fraud relate to posting inappropriate joumal entries and use of charity funds for purposes outside of restriclions imposed by the donor. In common with all audits under ISAS (UK), we are required to perform specffic procedures to respond to the risk of management override. Audlt response to risks identified As part of an audit in accordance with ISAS (UK) we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. Audtt procedures perforn￿d by the engagement team included.. We obtained an understanding of the charitable CA)mpanYs inlemal control syslems in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, bLrt not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the charitable company's inlemal control. We obtained an understsnding of how Ihe charitable company complies with relevant laws and regulations, including those as a result of its registration with the Chanty Commission for Northem Ireland and charitable stalus with HM Revenue & Customs , by making enquiries of management and those tharged with govemance. Enquiry of management, those charged with govemance and the entty's soliotors around actual and potenlial litigation and claims. Enquiry of entity Staff to identrfy any instsnces of non40mpliance with laws and regulations. Performing analyiical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with goveman Reviewng financial statement disdosures and testing to supporting documentstion to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations. We test the completeness of income to address the fisk of fraud in relation to revenue recognition Auditing the risk of management override of controls, including through testing joumal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, and evaluating the business rationale of signfficant transactions that are unusual or OLrtside the normal course of business. Auditing the risk of use of charty funds outside of restrictions imposed by the donor by review of funding letters of offer to identrfy restrictions, and review of funding dairns prepared by management to check compliance wrth restrictions. We communicated relevant laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members. and remained alert to any indications of fraud or nortrcompliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the fvrther removed non-compliance wtth laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements. the less likely we would become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting a matertal misstatement dlse to fraud is higher than the risk of not delecting one resulting from error. as fraud may involve deliberate concealment through collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of intemal control. A further description of our responsibilrties ts available on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: https-.11 www.frc.org.uklauditorsresponsibilrties.
