Based on ihe work we have performed. we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to conlinue 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 trustees with respect lo going ¢onc¢rn are described in the relevant sections of this report.

In connection with our audit of the financial slatements, our responsibility is to read the other inforniation and, in doing so, ¢onsid¢r whether the other infonnation is materially inconsistent wilh the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misslated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to d¢t¢rn]in¢ whether there is material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other infonnation. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclud¢ that there is a material mlsstatement of this other infom]ation, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing 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 wither intend to liquidate the charitable company or to c¢as¢ operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Audltor's responslbllities for the Audlt of the Ilnancial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole arc frec from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion, Reasonabl¢ assurance is a high level of assurancc, but is nol a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will alway5 detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considved material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to infiuence the ¢conomic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 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. The specific procedures for this engagcment and the extent to which these ar¢ capable of ddecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
27 Arts Care Limited (A company limited by guarantee) INDEPENDENT AUDITORS, REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ARTS CARE LIMITED (a ¢ompAny Ilmlted by guarantee) (Conlinued) YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 ExteDt to which the audit was considered capable of deteeting irregularities, includlng frsud We identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or eOr, and then design and perfonn the audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. In identifying and assessing risks of material misstat¢m¢nt in r¢5pect of irregularities, including fraud and non40mpliance with laws and regulations, we considered ihe following: The nature of the industry and sector, control environment and charity's financial results and position- Results of our enquiries of management about iheir own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities: Any matters we identified having obtained and reviewed the Charity's documentation of their policies and procedures relating to: Idcnlifying, evaluating and complying wilh laws and regulations and whelher they were aware of any instances of non-compliance. Detecting and responding to ihe risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud. and The internal conirols established to mitigat¢ risks of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations; The matters discussed among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in thc financial statements and potential indicators of fraud. As a result of ihese procedures, we considered that the particular areas in the financial statements that w¢r¢ susc¢ptibl¢ to misstatement were related to management bias in accounting estimates and judgements; recognition, classification and complcleness of income. In common with all audits under ISA5 (UK). we are also required to perforni specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override. We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the Charity operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and T¢gulations that had a direct cffcct on the deterniination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included Charity legislation applicable to Northern Ireland, Charity's governing document, employment law, health and safety and tax legislation. In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulalions that do not have a direct effect on the financial statemcnts but compliance with which may be fundamenlal to the Charity's ability to operate or to avotd a material penalty.
28 Arts Care Limited (A company limited by guarantee) INDEPENDENT AUDITORS, REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ARTS CARE LIMITED (a company limlted by guarantee) (Condnmed) YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 Audit response to rlsks identified Our procedures lo respond to risks identified include the following: Reviewing ihe financial statcments disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial slatements; Enquiring of management concerning actual and pot¢ntial liligation and claims; Perfonning analytical pedureS to identify any unusual or unexpected relalionships that may indicate risk of material misstatements due to fraud. Reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance. Obtaining an understanding of provisions and holding discussions with management lo understand the basis of recognilion. and In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing ihe appropriateness of journal entries and oiher adjustments including those relating to revenue recognition; assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimat¢$ are indicative of potential bias. and evaluating ihe ralionale of any significant transactions that are large. unusual or outside the nornial Course of the charity's activities, We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement teams members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout th¢ audit. Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk thai we may noi have detcctcd some malerial misstatement in the financial statements even though we have properly planned and perfornied our audit in accordance with auditing standards. In addition, as with any audit, there remains a higher risk of non-detection of irre8ularilies, as they may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to ddect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less cosls to sell and value in use, In ass¢ssing value in use, the estimated tUre cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which Ihe estimates of futur¢ cash flows have not been adjusted. If ihe recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its Carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairnient loss is recognised immedialely in incomel(expenditure) for the year, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairnient loss is treated as a revaluation de¢a$¢. Debtors and creditor$ recelvable I payable within one year Ikbtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and re1Vable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairnient are recognised in expenditure. Cash And crdsb equivalents Cash and cash equivalents in the slatement of cash flows comprise cash on hand and demand deposits held at call with banks and nornially have a maturily datc 013 months or less from the date of acquisition. Leases Rentals payable under op¢rating leases are charged to the SOFA on a slraight line basis over the period of the lease.
