The financial reporting framework thai ha5 been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Aeeepted Accounting Practice). In our opinion the financial sLqtements: give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then have been properly prepared in a¢cordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accountin8 Practice. and have been prepared in accordancz with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. Bgsls for oplnlo We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAS (UK)) and applicable law.

We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, includin8 the FRC'S Ethical Siandard. and we have fulfilled our other cthical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe tliat the audit evidence wc have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Conclusion$ relating to going concern In auditing the financial staiements, we have concluded that the trustees, use of the going concern basi5 of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements 15 appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not idcnlified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concem for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Our responsibilitics and the responsibilities of the trUS￿S with respect ¢0 going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. Other Information The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the informaiion included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon. Our opinion on the financial ststements does not cover the other infomiation and, except to the extent otherwise explititly stated in our report, we do not express any fom of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and. in doing 50, Gon5ider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial ststcments 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material mi55tatement of this other infonnation, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Page 5 REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES AND MEMBERS TARA CENTRE Opinions on other mAtters preseribed by the Companies Act 2006 In our opinion. based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: the informatiori given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial sLqtements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements. and the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. Matters on whieh wt Are required to report by exception In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitsble company and its environment obtsined in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion.. adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches nol visited by us. or the financial ststements are noi in agreemenl With the aeeounting records and returns. or certain disclosures of ¢wslees' remuneration specified by law are not made: or we have not received all the infomiation and explanations we requir¢ for our audit, Respon$ibili¢ie$ of ¢rus¢ee$ A5 explained more fully in the Ststemcnl of Tru5tee5' Responsibililie5, the trustres (who are also the directors of Ihe charitable comparby for the purpos¢s of company law) arc responsible for the preparation of the financial statcmcnts and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for sueh internal ¢ontrol as the trustees determine is ne¢essary lo enable the pr¢paration of financial $12tements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitsble company, ability lo continue as a going concem. disclosing, &$ applicable. matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitsble company or io cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but lo do so. Page 6 REPORT OF THE IfsDEPENDENT AUDJTORS TO THE TRUSTEES AND MEMBERS OF TARA CENTRE Our responsibilities for the gudit of the financial statements Our objectives arc 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 a Report of the Independent Audiiors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is noi a guarantee ihat an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material missta*menl when it exists. Misslatements 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 LAken on the basis of these financial statements. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leadin8 to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulaiion. Thi5 risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial ststements, as we will be less likely to become aware of in5tanc£s of non-complion¢e. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves inlenlional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentalion. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliBnce with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, ouilined above. to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are Capable of de*cting irregularities. includin8 fraud is detailed below.. We obtained an undcrsianding of the legal and regulalory framework that the Charity operatC5 in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on material amounts and disclosures in the financial staiements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the UK Companies Act. pensions and tax legislation. charity legislation together with provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direc( effecl on the financial statements. bul Gompliance with which may be fundamental lo lhe Charity's ability 10 operate or to avoid a material penalty. This included condilions of funding from various bodies. We Lqilored our response to those identified risks to include enquiring of managcmcnt concerning actual and potential litigation and claims. perfomiing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud, and reviewing correspondence with HMRC and other re8ulatory bodies. In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, we tested the appropriateness of journal enti'ies and other adjustments.. assessed whether the judgements made in making a¢¢ountin8 estimates are indicative of a potential bias. and evaluated the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the nomial course of business. of which there were none. In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in rcspcct of irregularities, including fraud and non-complian￿ with laws and regulations, we considered the following- the nature of the industry and sector, control environment and business performance including the remuneration policies, and its internal and external performance targets- results of our enquiries of management and other key persons about the charity's own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities. including those that may occur either as a result of fraud or C￿0[, and matters we identified from our review of the policies, procedures and internal controls; and the matters discussed among the audit engagement team regarding potential indicators of fraud and where it might ￿eur in the financial statements. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.or8.uklauditorsresponsibilities. This description fomis part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.
