Page 5 THE HENDERSON CHARITABLE TRUST Independent auditorfs report to the members of The Henderson Charitable Trust Year ended 31 December 2021 Opinion We have audited the financial statements of The Henderson Charitable Trust ("the Charity") for the year ended 31 December 2021 which comprise the statement of income and retained earnings, the statement of financial position and the related notes and the cash flow statement, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporling Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). In our opinion. the financial statements: give a true and fair view of the state of the Charity's affairs as at 31 December 2021 and of its net incoming resources and application of resources for the year then ended- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice., have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008 (as amended by the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2013). Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAS (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Independence We are independent of the Charity in accordance with the ethical requirements relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK. including the FRC'S Ethical Standard. and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. Conclusions related to going concern In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees, use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have perfonned, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that. individually or collectively. may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of the report.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report. we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements. our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other infomiation is materially inconsistent with the financial statements, or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial ststements or a material misstatement of the other infom)ation. If. based on the work we have performed. we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report thal fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Matters on which we a required to report We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion. the information contained in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the Trustees, Annual Report; or adequate accounting records have not been kept; or the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns. or we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Page 7 THE HENDERSON CHARITABLE TRUST Independent auditorfs report to the members of The Henderson Charitable Trust (continued) Year ended 31 December 2021 Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial 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 auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee Ihat an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Extent to which the audit was capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud Irregularities, including fraud, are instsnces of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities outlined above. to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below. We gained an understanding of the legal and the regulatory framework applicable to the company and the industry in which it operates and considered the risk of acts by the company which were contrary to applicable laws and regulations. including fraud. These included but were not limited to compliance with Charities Act (Northem Ireland} 2008 and FRS 102, -The Financial Reporling Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland. We focused on laws and regulations that could give rise to material misstatement in the financial statements. Our tests included but were not limited to: agreement of the financial statement disclosure to underlying supporting documentation- enquiries of management., and considering the effectiveness of the control environment and monitoring compliance with laws and regulations. We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risk to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is form events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. As in all of our audits we addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including testing journals and evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the trustees that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud. Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error. as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by. for example, forgery, misrepresentations or through collusion. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements. The less likely we are to become aware of it.
