Principal funding sources
The principal funding sources for the Health Forum are currently by way of grant aid and contracts with a
range of external bodies. The principal funders are: Public Health Ag¢ncy, National Lottery Community
Fund (NLCF), Western Health & Social Care TrusL Department for Communities, Urban Villages (TEO) and
a variety of other small funders and income generation.
Reserves Status
Overall reserves for the financial year amounted to £266.685. Reserves ftir the year are split £251,698
unr¢stricted and £14,987 restricted reserves.
The Board of Directors have examined Ihe charity's requirements for reserves in light of the main risks to the
organisation. It has established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible
fixed assets held by the charity should represent up to six months of the expenditure and provide for
redundancy for all staff in tlie event of a gap or withdrawal of fundin& this would total £125,000 (see note
12). The remainder of unrestricted reserves would be used for other programmes and salaries that may be a
risk in future financial periods.
The reserves are needed to meet the Nvorking capital requirement of the charity and the Board are confident
that at this level they would be able to continue the curreni activities of the charity in the event of a significant
drop in funding for three months.

Responsibilities of the directors
As explained more fully in the Directors, Responsibilities Slatement set out on page 7, the directors (who are also tlie
directors of the charitable company foi the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the
financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. and for such internal control as the
directors 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 direciors responsible for assessing the charitable company's abilily to
continue as a going concern, disGlosin& as appli¢abl¢, matters relai¢d to going concem and using the going concern
basis of accounting unless the trustees eiiher intend to liquidate the ¢haritable company or to cease operations, or have
no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about wh¢lher the financial statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditorfs report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assuran¢e is a high level of assuranee, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with
SAS (UK) will always detect a Enaterial misstatement ivhen it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and
are considered material if. individually or in the aggregat4 they could re&sonably be expected to influence the
¢LOliOliiiC decisions of uscrs taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Explanation as to wbat extent the audil was ¢oDsidered ¢apable of detecting irregularitics, including fraud.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-￿mplianee with laws and regulations. We design procedures in
line ivitli our responsibilities, outlined above, lo detect material misstatements in respcct of irrcgularities, including
fraud. However, the primary responsEbility for the pievention and detection of fraud lies with management and the
board of directors of the charitable company.
Identifying and assessing potential risks related to irregularities
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and
non-coinpliance with laws and regulalions, we considered the following:
the nature of the industry, sector and the specific control environment which it operates in.
the charities oivn assessment of the risks that irrcgularities may occur, either &s a result of fraud or error;
representations and results from our enquiries with management and the board of directors regarding their own
identification and asscssment of the risks of irregulariÉi¢s'
enquiries of management relating to accounting estimates measurements, recognition criteria and justification of
such amounts.
any matters Nv¢ have identified having obtained and revieived the charities policies and procedures relating to.
* identifying and a.sses%ing if laws and regulations are compliant and whether they are aware of any instances of
non-compliance"
* detection and response to the risk of fraud and whether they are aware of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud
instances;
the internal controls designed to mitigate risks or fraud or non•compliance with laws and regulations, and to
minimise risk of manag¢inent overrides of such controls.
Page 11

BOGSIDE AND BRANDYWELL HEALTH FORUM
(A company limited by gwarantee)
all Matters discussed among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud could occur and tlie
potential indicators of fraud.
As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the charity for
fraud. The audit included assessing the procedures and evaluating the measurement of estimations. In common with
all audits under ISAS (UK), we are also required to perfotm specific procedures to respond to the risk of management
override.
We also required an understanding of ihe legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the charity and considered
that the most significant are the Companies Act 2006, SOIIP 2019 (FRS 102) and Charities Act (Northern Ireland)
2008.
Audit responses to rislLS identified
Our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following:
reviewing the financial statement disclosures. testing the relcvant documentation to &ssess compliance with the
significant laws and regulations - those de￿ribed as havyng a dire¢¢ eff¢¢t on the financial statements.
enquiring with management and obiaining third party confirnialion from the charitable company's solicitors
regarding any actual or potential litigation and Claims;
perforining analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of
material misstatement due to fraud.
- reading minutes of board and management meeting& ekqmine forecasting materidl in liiic with actual perfonnance,
identifying any potential fraud indicators or instances:
reviewing Companies House and Chaiily Commission Northern Ireland correspondence, id¢ntify any late
submissions or omissions of mandatory infomation;
review correspondence with HMRC, idenlifying non compliance of specific infom]ation to be disclosed.
in addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of data entries
and adjustments. assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential
bias. and evaluating the rationale of 4Uiy significant transactions that are unusual or outside the nnmial course of the
harities objectives.
We also communicated r¢levant idenlified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team
members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or noncompliance with laws and regulations throughout the
audit.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAS (UK). we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional
scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of malerial misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error,
design and pcrforni audit procedures responsive to ihose risks, and obtain audit evidence 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 error, as fraud may involve collusion. forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for th¢ purpose of expressing an opinion on the ¢ffectiv¢ness of the
charitable company's internal conirol.
Page 12

BOGSIDE AND BRANDYWELL HEALTH FORUM
(A eompany limited by guarnntee)
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosures made by the directors.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directo￿. use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on tlie
audit evidence obtained, Nvhether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant
doubt on the charitable company's abillty to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty
exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditorfs report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or,
if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the ¢iudit cvidenc¢ obtained
up to the date of the auditols report. However. future events or conditions may cause the charitable company to cease
to Gontinu¢ as a going concern.
-Evaluate the overall presentation, Structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and
whether the financial statetnents represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair
presentation.
We communicate with tliose cliarged wilh governance regardin& among other matters, the planned scope and timing
of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we id¢ntify
during our audit.
