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 cours¢ of the audil w¢ hav¢ not identified material misstat¢m¢nts in th¢ Report of the Trustees.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustces are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going conccm, disclosing, as applicable. matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless th¢ trustees either intend to liquidate the charitsble company or to cease operations, or havc no realistic alternative but to do so.

ort of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees and Members of Ball been Wornen's entre Limited Our rc5ponsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives ar¢ to obtain Teasonable assurance about whether thc financial statements as a whole are frec from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includ¢s QUT opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but As not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a iiiaterial inisslatement when it exists. Misstaleiiients can arisc froni fraud or crror aiid are considered inaterial if, individually or in th¢ aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence th¢ economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. The extent to which our Procedures are capable of detecting irregulariti¢s, including fraud is detailed bclow.. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-coinpliance with laws and regulations. We design proccdurcs in lin¢ with our responsibilities, outlined abovc, to det¢¢t material misstatcments in respect of irregularities, including fraud. In particular, we looked at wh¢re management made subjective judgements, for exaiiiple in respect of accouiitiiig estiinatcs that iiivolved making assuniptions and considering futur¢ events that are inherently uncertain. We also considered potential financial or other pressures, opportunity and motivations for fraud. As part of tliis discussion, wc identifjed the internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations and how management monitor these proccsses. Appropriate procedures included thc review and testing of manual journals and key cstimatcs and judgcments made by manag¢m¢nt for risk of fraud. Based on our understanding of the company and irldustry, we identified thc principal risks of non-compliance with laws and i-egulations as those that have a direct impact on the deteiinination of matei-ial amounts and disclosures in the financial ststements. We evaluated managemcnt's incentives and opportunitics for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements and identified the greatest potential for fraud. W¢ coi]llnunicated the id¢ntified laws and regulations throughout the audit team aiid reinaincd alert to any indications of non-conipliance throughout the audit. Audit proccdures perfomied included, but w¢re not limited to: Discussions with management including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-coinplianc¢ with laws and regulation and fraud. Reviewing the financial statement disclosur¢s and testing to supporting documentation. Revi¢w of board meeting minutes of those charged with governance. In addressing the T15k of fraud through manag¢ment ove￿Ide of controls, testing the appropriateness of journal entries and oth¢r adjustments. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAS (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional sccpticism throughout the audit. Wc also:_ Identify and assess the risks of material niisstatement of the financial stateinents, whether due to fraud OT eTTor. design and perforn] audit proc¢dures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidenc¢ that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from erTQT. as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepTesentations, or th¢ override of int¢rnal control. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circuinstances, but not for tlie purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the charities internal control. 12

Perforni analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationsliips that may indicate risks of material misstat¢ment due to fraud or error. Coiiclude on the appropriateness of the trustees, use of the going concern basis of accounting and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that inay cast significant doubt on the charities ability to continue as a going concern. If wc conclude that a material uncertainty ¢xists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial stateinents or, if such disclosurcs arc inadequate. to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charity to cease to contiiiue as a going concern. Evaluate the overall presentalion, structure, and content of the financial statements, including th¢ disclosures and whether the fiiiancial stat¢ments represent the underlying traiisactions aiid events in a inanner that achieves fair pi'esentation.

Where unconditional grants are offered, this is accrued as soon as the recipient is notified of the grant, as this gives rise to a reasonable expectation that the recipient will receive the grants. Where grants are conditional relating to perfonnance then the grant is only accrued when any Un￿lfilled conditioiis arc outside of the control of the charity. {e) Support costs allocation Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not di¥ectly repr¢s¢nt charitable activities and include office costs, governance costs. administrative payroll costs. They are incurred directly in support of expcnditurc oil thc objccts of the charity and include project inanagciiicnt carried out at Headquarters. Where support costs cannot bc directly attributed to particular headings they have becn allocated to cost of raising funds and expenditure on cliaritable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources.

Other financial instruinents are subsequently measurcd at fair value witli any changes recognised in the statement of financial activitLeS, Wlth the exception of hedging instruments in a designed hedging relationship. Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of iinpainnent at the end of each reporting date. if there is objective evidence of inipainnent an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the stateinent of financial activities in which the initial gain is recognised. For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other fiiiancial assets tliat are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairn]cnt. Other financial assets are eithcr assesscd individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics. Any reversals of impairnient are recognised imm¢diat¢ly, to th¢ extent that the reversal does not result in a canying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carying amount would hav¢ b¢¢n had the impaim]¢nt not previously been recognised. (h) Impairment Assets not rn¢asured at fair value are reviewed for any indication that the asset may be impaired at each balanc¢ sheet date. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, or the asset's cash generating unit, is cstiinated and coinpared to the carrying ainount. Where th¢ catrying aniount exceeds its ￿COverable amount, an impairnient loss is recognised in profit or loss unless th¢ ass¢t is carried at a revalued ainount wh¢rc the impainncnt loss is a rcvaluation dccrcase. (i) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the charity has an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of ¢conomic bcncfits will be required in settlement and the amount can be reliably estimated. (i) Leases Assets acquired under financ¢ l¢as¢s are capitalized and depreciated over the shorter of the lease tenn and the expected useful life of the asset. Miniinum lease paymcnts arc apportioned between thc finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding l¢as¢ liability using the effective interest method. The r¢lated obligations, net of future finance charges. are included in creditors. Rentals payable and receivable under operating leases are charged to the SOFA on a straight line basis over the period of th¢ lease.
