B&sed on current staff costs and fixed overheads, the target level of reserves is £145.000. The Trustees review the reserves policy annually. At the reporting date, the charity held unrestricted reserves of £490.548, which includes £241.235 invested in langible fixed assets and therefore not available towards the reserves policy target level. Therefore the free reserves of the charity at the year end is £249,313. The strategy is to continue to build free reserves through planned operating surpluses. In the short-tem] the board has also considered the extent to which existing activities and expenditure could be curtailed, Should circumstances arise.

Creggan Enterprises Limited (A company limited by guarantee) anisational Structure The Board of Trustees has overall legal responsibility for the charity. The day-to-day operations and decision-making continue to be delegated to a Senior Managetncnt Team, led by General Manager Kevin Hippsley, who report directly to the Board. There are robust reporting structures in place throughout the organisation. The Senior Management Team is made up as follows.. Kevin Hippsley- General Manager Conal McFeeley - Development Executive Barbara Sweeney- Admin l Finance Manager Remuneration olic The process of setting pay and remuneration of key management personnel is undertaken by the Board of Trustees as a whole. Risk Mana ement The directors regularly assess the major risks to which the company is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the company and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate the exposure to the major risks. A risk register is established and updated annually. Individual programmes carry out regular risk reviews (assessments). The physical compliance and facilitieslsite management is covered by strict policies and procedures. Internal controls are minimized by the implementation of procedures for authorization of all transactions and projects. Procedures are in place to ensure compliance with all health and safety requirments for staff, volunteers, center-users and visitors. Policies are reviewed periodically to ensure they meet current organizational needs and associated legislation5. Related arties and co-o eration with other or anisations None of the trustees receive remuneration or other benefit from their work with the charity. Any connection between a trustee or senior manager of the charity with a ¢ontra¢ted supplier must be disclosed to the full Board of Trustees in the same way as any other contractual relationship with a related paty. How Creggan Enterprises Limtled has mhtlgated any harm flowing from Its purposes Creggan Enterprises Limited operate under strict governance oversight, process and procedure. Our programmes adhere to clear and comprehensive internal policies I guidance and external parameters detemiined by funder5, management agents and government departments. Employees and the Board are supported and encouraged to take whalever training is necessary to prepare them for their role and support their day-to-day activities (e.g. Governance Training or Safeguarding Training etc). Regular reporting is provided to each and every funder and each programme undergoes initial and ongoing risk analysis to deterniine what if any risks are posed by the programme (in regard to harni to users, participants, workers, the community. the funder or the organisation). In this way any potential harn] is identified and specific measures established to mitigate risk from the outset and as circumstances change or new activities are planned. Creggan Enterprises Limited also take care to survey the needs of the community - before any new programme I service is planned; and we also endeavour to capture and take on board as much feedback as well in order to ¢valuat¢ the effectiveness of our charitable work. This allows Creggan Enterprises Limited to monitor any potential areas of harni - and mitigate where possible. How Creggan EDlerprises Limited has ensured that any private benefit has been incidental to the public benefit All our activities are directed towards solely providing a public benefit - any private benefit generated is purely incidental. Page 12
Creggan Enterprises Limited (A company limited by guarantee) Trustees or employees of the Charity are ineligible and prohibited from accessing any of the services I supports which our programmes offer. Any private benefits accrued are purely in relation to the roles and responsibilities of workers. For example our Lifehack project workers may attend a residential or International study trip (thus benefitting from the charitable work) in their essential supervisory capacity only. Additionally employees may benefit, for example. from training {which they attend in a supervisory role alongside participants or via direct training where it is deemed essential for their role, i.e. safeguarding training) and any benefit is purely incidental. Each programme works within strict guidelines, with strict controls on personal expense5, and with all expenditure scrutinised at multiple levels to ensure appropriateness, fair value and necessity. Statement of compliance in regard to the Commission's guidanee In setting our objectives and planning our activities for the year the trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland's guidance on public benefit to ensure that the activities have helped to achieve the charity's purposes and provide a benefit to the beneficiaries. Plans for the future Looking forward into 2025126 - Creggan Enterprises Limited continue to face significant challenges in regard to a rising fixed cost base, changing community dynamics and footfall, tenancy performance, an increasingly competitive and shrinking funding landscape and ongoing succession planning issue5. The community served by the organisation continues to suffer from the impact of statutory service cuts and austerity measures, and lasting inequalities brought on by underinvestment and structural barriers to economic inclusion. The resulting knock-on impact on small busine55es and projects means that Creggan Enterprises Limited will continue to be proactive in terms of developing new and innovative measures and projects to ensure sustainability and resilience over the mid-to-long t¢rni.

Creggan Enterprises Limited (A company limited by guarantee) Responsibilities of the directors As explained more fully in the Directors, Responsibilities Statement, the directors (who are also the directors of the charitable company for 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 directors are responsible for &ssessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees eith¢r intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic altemative but to do so. Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of Ihe finAnclAI 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 auditorfs report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assuran¢¢, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in a¢¢ordan¢e 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. ExplanatlOD as to whAt extent the audlt was considered capable of detecting irregul&ritles, Includlng fraud; Irregularities, including fraud, are instances 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. Howcvcr, the primary SpOnsIbl11ty for the prevention and detection of fraud lies with management and the board of directors of the charitable company. Identifylng and assessing potential rlsks related to irregularities In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following: the nature of the industry, sector and the specific control environment which it operates in. the charities own assessment of the risk5 that irregularities may occur, either as a result of fraud or error. representations and results from our enquiries with management and the board of directors regarding their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities. enquiries of management relating to accounting estimates measurements, recognition criteria and justification of such amounts. any matters we have identified having obtained and reviewed the charities policies and procedures relating to. * identifying and assessing 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. Page 17
Creggan Enlerprises Limited (A company Ilmfited by guarnntee) * the internal controls designed to mitigate risks or fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations, and to minimise risk of management overrides of such controls. all matters discussed among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud could occur and the 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 ar¢ also required to perfonn specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override. Based on our understanding of the charitable company the most significant legal and regulatory frameworks that have a direct impact on the financial statements are those relating to the applicable reporting framework, (FRS 102, The Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008, The Charities (Accounts and Report) Regulations (Northem Ireland) 2015. the Charity SORP and the Companies Act 2006) non-compliance may have a material effect on the financial statements. Compliance with these laws and regulation5 was assessed as part of our procedures. Audlt respon$e5 to risks Identlfled Our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following: reviewing the financial statement disclosures. testing the relevant documentation to assess compliance with the significant laws and regulations - those described as having a direct effect on the financial statements: enquiring with Inanagement and obtaining third party confimiation from the charitable company's solicitors regarding any actual or potential litigation and claims; perfomiing 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 meetings, examine fOr¢cting material in line wilh actual perforniance, identifying any potential fraud indicators or instan¢es' reviewing Companies House and Charity Commission Northern Ireland correspondence, identify any late submissions or omissions of mandatory infonnation. review correspondence with HMRC, identifying non compliance of specific infonnation 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 ¢stimates are indicative of a potential bias. and evaluating the rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the nonnal course of the charities objectives. We also communicated relevant identified 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 mainlain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: Identify and &ssess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perfom] audit procedures responsive to those 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.

Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors, 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 may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern.
