Objeetives and Aetivities Objecls niicl ainis The purpose of Woinen's Aid ABCLN is lo provide an holistic service lo women and children affected by all forms of domestic violence. to educate, challenge and co-opei'ate with exlei'nal agencies and the wider coinmunily with a vision lo ei'adicate domestic violence. The core aims are.. l. To provide services and lempoi'ary refuge lo women and childi'en suffering doinestic violence, be that emotional, physical, financial, vei'bal oi. sexual abuse. 2. To einpower and enable woinen to deterinine tl)eir own fi]ture. 3. To recognise, respond and cal'e for Ilie einotional needs of ohildren and young people. 4. To offer support and guidance lo any woman who asks for it, both in refuge and in her own con)Inunity 5. To educate, infoi'm and challenge the public, the media, police, courts, social seivices and other auihorilies about the pi'evalence and effects of domestic violence. We will always be mindfvl that doniestic violence is a dire¢t result of the general position of women in oui. society and perpeli'ators, decisions to meet Iheii. own needs without i)egotialion because they believe that they al'e entitled to. Domestic violence is a breach of human rights. Piiblic beiiefil The direct beii¢fils flowing froin our orgaiiisation's purposes.. Relief of those in need is acliieved througli providing services for women, children and young people impacted upon by domestic violence. This prevents homelessness, poverty, and educational undei'achievement. Our work in providiiig training and support to other agencies, gi'oups and communities educates and empowers responses I'elevant to the needs of these victims. The beiiefils above al'e dei)ioiisti'ated through tl)e 'joui'i)ey 117velled model, of weekly and IDonthly review of suppoi't plans, follow up calls and meetii)gs for all seivice users. Need for the service is evideiiced by continued improvement withirl tl)e organisation, i)ew services offei'ed and the Iiigh number of I'eferi'als lo oui. service. With reference to all purposes, there is no harm or possibility of hai'm outweighed by the benefit. The rharity's beneficiaries are women, children and yoiing people affected by domestic violence in Ilie five areas oui. cliai'ity covers, Antrii)I, Ballyinena, Cari'ickfergus, Larne aiid Newtownabbey. It) respect of "pi-ivate bei)eficiaries" there al'e paid staff integral to piovision of sei'vices to beneficiaries. The benefit derived by these members of staff, in the form of wages, is incidental to pi'ovision of service to beneficiaries. Service to beneficiai'ies could not be delivered without paid staff, and the purposes of the chai'ity could nol be attained. Payment of wages does not form a pui'pose in ils own right and is justifiable and reasonable. Ti'ustees ensure that payment of wages to staff is directly related to atid only foi- enacting the stated putyoses ai)d attaining the desired goals for the advantage of beneficiaries.

The credit risk on liquid funds and derivative financial insti'uments is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ralings assigiied by international ci'edit-i'ating agencies. The group has no significant concentration of credit risk, with exposure spread over a large number of eounterparties and customers. Liqiiidity risk In order to maintain liquidity to ensure that sufficient ￿ndS are available for ongoing operations and future development5, the group uses a mixture of long-term and short-terni debi finance. Further details regarding IiqLEidily risk can be found in the Statement of accounting policies in the financial slalements. Goiiig Coiicerii The trustees believe that the charity will wntinue as a going concern. Funders have shown themselves to be supportive, flexible, and adaptive to Ilie ciiri'ent situation which is an invaluable help to the woinen's aid community. Tlie organisation continues to work in pai#nership with government bodies and agencies in ternis of developing a longer-tei-m sti'ategy to support victinis of doinestic abuse. The ti?nsition to NJC pay scales for all ABCLN staff necessitated a use of uni'e5tricled reserves over a three-year period. These increased costs have beei) factored in to futui'e budgets and nianagement expect the Chai'ity to returii to a breakeven position witl)in thire yeai's. To support this change the Chai'ity has initiated new oppoitunities for I'aising uni'estricled funds including opening shops in Larne and Anlrim, inci'easing donations from the public and businesses and exploi'ing new avenues for gi'ant funding. The Cl)arity continues to pursue additional grant funding froin Current aiid new 'ant funding bodies lo support its charitable activities.

Conclusions i'elAting to going concern In auditing the financial statements, we l)ave concluded that the Ii'ustees use of the going concem basis of accounting in the prepai'alion of the financial slalements is appi'opriale. Based on the work ive have peiforined, Ive have not identified any maierial uncerlainlies relating lo events or conditions that, individually oi. collectively, may cast significant doubt on thegroup's ability lo continue as a going concern foi. a period of at least twelve months fiom ivhen the oi'iginal financial statements wei'e auihorised for issue.

Page 14 Women's Aid Antrim, Ballymena, Carrickfergus, Larne and Newtownabbey Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Women'5 Aid Antrim, Ballymena, CarrickferEUS, Larne and Newtownabbe In connection with our audit of the financial stateinenls, our I'esponsibi ily is lo l'ead the oihei. information and, in doing so, consider wheihei. the other infoi'malion is matei'ially inconsislenl with the financial stalcn)enls or oui. knowledge obtained in the audit oi. oihei'wise appears lo be materially Inisslaled. If we identify such material inconsistencies or appai'ent malei'ial misslalemenls, we al-e required to detei'mine whether Ihei'e is a materia5 misslaleinent in Ihe financial slalements or a matei'ial misslalenienl of the oihei. infoi'mation. If, based on the work we have pei'foi'med, we conclude Ihal Ihei'e is a material misslatemenl of this other information, Ive are I'equii'ed to report that fact. We have nothing lo I'epoit in this regai'd. OpinÉon on othei. matter pres¢rib¢d by the Companies Act 2006 In oui. opinion, based on the work undei'laken in the course of the audit: the information given in the Sii'alegic Report and Ti'ustees, Repoii for Ihe financial year for which the financial statements are pi'epaird is consistent with the financial stateinenls. and the Sii'ategic Repoi. land Trustees, Report have been prepared in accoi'dance with applicable legal requii'ements. Matters on Ivhich we are required to report by exception In the light of oui. knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent chai'itable company and its environment obtained in the coui'se of the audit, Ive have not identified material misstatements in the Stt7tegic Report and the Ti-ustees, Report. We have nothing to I'eport in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 I'equires us lo report to you if, in our opinion.. adequate accounting records have not been kept by the pai'ent chai'ilable company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received fi'om branches not visited by us. or the parent chai'ilable company financial statements are not in agreement with the accountis)g I'ecoi'ds and returns. or ¢ei'lain disclosuirs of Ii'uslees remuneration specified by law are not made,. or we have not received all the inforniation and explanations we require foi. our audit. Responsibilities of trustees As explained more fully in the Statement of Ti'uslees, Responsibilities (set out on page l O), the ttijslees are Irsponsible for Ihe pi'eparalion of the financial statements and foi. being satisfied that they give a Ii'ue and fair view, and foi. such internal conlrol as the ti'ustees deletThine 15 necessary lo enable tlie preparation of financial statements that al'e free fi'om material misstatement, whether due to fraud or eri'oi.. In preparing the financial statements, the Iruslee5 al'e I'esponsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concei'n, disclosing, as applicable, mattel's related lo going concern and using the going concei'n basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidale the eharily or to cease opei'ations, oi. have no realislic alternative but to do so. Auditor i'esponsibilities foi. the audit of the financiAI statements Our objectives are lo obtain reasonable assui'ance about whether the financial 51atemenls as a whole are free fi'om malei'ial misstatement, whether due to ti'aud or ei'i'oi., and lo issue an auditor's repoit that includes oui. opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assui'ance, bul is not a guai'anlee that an audit conducted iii accoi'dance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a Inatei'ial misstatemcnt when it exists. Misstatements can ai'ise fi'on) fraud or eri'oi. and al'e considered material if, individually oi. in the aggi'egmte, they could reasonably be expected to influei)ce the econoinic decisions of usei's taken on the basis of these financial statements. Page 15 Women's Aid Antrim, Ballymena, Carrickfergus, Larne and Newtownabbey Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Women's Aid Antrim, Ballymena, Carrickfergus, Larne and Newtownabbey The extent to which our piocedurcs are capable of detecting Ii'i'egularilie5, including fi'aud is detailed below: Iri'egulai'ilies, including fi'aud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations.

Below is a detailed explanation of the extent to which oui. pioceduirs al'e capable of detecting irregLilarities, including fraud. Oui. appioach lo identifying and assessing the I'isks of material misslatemenl in Itspecl of ilTegularilies, including fraud and non-compliance will) laivs and regulations, involved several steps. The engagement pai'lnei. ensured that the engagement team collectively possessed the appi'opi'iate compeleiice, capabilities, and skills to identify oi. I'ecognise non-compliance with applicable laws and I'egulation5. We identified the laws and I'egulalions relevant lo the Chai'ilable company Ihi'ough discussions ivith directois and oihei. management, as Nyell as by applying oui. commei'¢ial knowledge and expei'ience in the chai'ilable secloi. in Noi'ihern Ireland. Identilied laws and regulations weiE comniunicaled I'egularly within the audit team, which I'emained vigilant foi. instances of non-coinpliance Ihi'oughoul Ilie audit pi'ocess. To assess the susceptibility of the company's financial statements lo malei'ial misstatement, we obtained an uiiderslanding of how fi?ud migl)t occui.. This involiied making inquiries of n)anageinenl regarding areas they considered susceptible to fi'aud, as well as their knowledge of actual, suspected, or alleged fi7ud. We also I'eviewed the internal controls ii) place to mitigate the I'isks of fi'aud and non-compliance with laws and regulations. To addi'ess the I'isk of fi'aud Ihi'ough management bias and ovetyide of conliols, Ive perfoi'med analytical procedui'es lo idenlify unusual oi. unexpe¢led i'elationships, lesled journal entries lo ideiitify unusual Ii'ansactions, assessed wheihei. judgments and assumptions n)ade dui'ing the pirpai'alion of financial slalements indicated potential bias, and iiivestigaled the rationale behind significant or unusual ti?nsaelions. Iii response lo the I'isk of iri'egularities and non-eoinpliance iviih laws and I'egulalions, Ive designed and implemented procedures that included agi'eeing financial statement disclosui'es to the underlying 5uppoiling documentation, iyviewing the minutes of meetings held by Ih05e charged wilh governance, inquii'ing of management I'egarding actual and potential litigation or claims, and examining correspondence with HMRC. It is impot1ant to note that Ihei'e are inhei'enl limitations in oui. audit procedures. The more i'emoved a law or regulation is fi'om financial li'ansaclions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards a150 limit oui. pi'ocedui'es lo identifying non-compliance with laivs and regulations to inquii'ies of dii'ecloi's and management, and lo the inspection of I'egulaloiy and legal coii'espondence, if any. Material misslaiemenls caused by fraud can be mol'e difficult lo delecl than those caused by en'or, as they may involve delibei'ale concealment or collusion.
