for the year ended 31 March 2020 |
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2020. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). |
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES |
Objectives and aims |
To serve the Turkish speaking and local community by developing and sustaining projects that meet the identified needs. |
. |
The services we provide all focus on one or more of three areas. |
o Provide a better quality of life through social care services |
o Creating employment and helping people regain independence |
o Furthering the education and growth of our youth |
Significant activities |
Our day to day operations are mainly around fulfilling these aims by providing advice and information, social care, counselling, employment, physical wellbeing, community learning, outreach to housebound, community orientated room hire and training by developing projects to meet the needs of the community members. In all cases we ensure that the services are of a high standard and based on researched needs. |
Our most important project is our Homecare service, which provides care for the Turkish and Greek speaking elders and the disabled people in London. This helps independent living in order to help avoid isolation and enable beneficiaries to lead independent lives. We are committed to a high standard of care therefore we train our carers through our inhouse training provision, enabling the provision of fully compliant care. |
The mission of the organisation is to support our community through funded and internally created projects that also provide a springboard for Turkish speaking people to gain training and support that will ultimately result in them not requiring government benefits to survive. |
The organisation promises to provide support through recognising developments within our own community. TCCA will also create fresh projects and offer to help in the most deprived corners of our community. Our ambition is to improve lives for the short and long term and to contribute to wider society. |
Public benefit |
In setting out the objectives and planning the activities, the Trustees have given careful consideration, to complying with the duty in Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011. This report outlines how our achievements during the year have benefited the public, either directly or indirectly. |

STRATEGIC REPORT |
Achievement and performance |
Achievement and performance charitable activities |
This year the organisation has continued to build on the strong foundations laid down in previous years, our major achievements over the financial period has been our ability to maintain our CQC fully complaint status with a good rating and improve our leadership rating to outstanding, this, in an arena that places more and more requirements within the provision of care. In order to maintain these standards, we remain as a beacon cache accredited training centre, that boosts new and innovative bespoke training courses, we have added to these course by offering additional courses via Citation that support staff development. Together with our partners in June 2019 we staged the second Turkish Cypriot Cultural and Arts Festival, which drew artistes from all over the world including the highly acclaimed Ziynet Sali, the one day festival was attended by over 15000 people. |
We have added new initiatives to TCCA's impressive repertoire projects, including a major health initiative supporting Turkish Speaking employees wellbeing, The Turkish Cypriot Community Awards celebrating achievement within the Community, we have launched a Youth Project that we hope over the years will become a focal point for young, we gave our restaurant a more traditional feel, in order to connect our heritage to the wider community, and in December 2019 launched operations from a new office in Enfield, ensuring that we remain active in the areas that our community are based. |
This year the charity experienced a small financial loss due to a drop in Homecare Income, Investments in relation to building improvements and the onset of the Covid 19, which hit the UK in March 2020. These varies issues are being managed throughout the next financial period, and TCCA has been extremely successful in gaining rebates, grants and support, these are covered in more detail in later section of this report. During this period we were accredited by Your Value, pre-Visible and again self-accredited our work in line with PQASSO quality mark 3 all of which we completed to a high standard. Apart from institutional recognition for the organisation's achievements TCCA was also awarded by its peers by achieving the CENTUS shortlist nominees for last 6 years of top not for profit organisation in the UK. We were the winners of the first Turkish Cypriot Community Awards being voted by our peers as the charity of the year, we were a finalist in the Impact awards, a finalist in the mid-size festival category for Festival of the Year Awards. |
MAJOR CHANGES |
During this financial period apart from changes mentioned above, no major changes occurred. In respect of staff, Citation (employment consultants) remain as our health and safety / personnel consultants. Contracts and mechanisms continue to be renewed and assessed for recruitment. They service all legalities in terms of ensuring that we are staff compliant. Payroll has continued in house and pensions remain with NOW pensions. All policies and procedures have been once again reviewed (TCCA boosts 203 bespoke policies and procedures) and are available via disk or online. Altan and Co continue to deliver TCCA's accounts and we are pleased to be working in collaboration with a company with a fantastic work ethic and attitude. We continue to learn from Altan & co on issues arising within our accounts reporting system and are very proud to move forward another year with their services. We have new premises in Enfield. Our Hackney offices now have planning permission for upper levels to be converted into flats. Our Haringey office has been and it looks much fresher and more appealing to a wider range of clients rather than mainly parties due to the drapes covering the walls which could be used for presentations. |
During this financial year our projects have been as follows: |
HOMECARE |
Unlike other care agencies as we are a charity, we focus on giving the old and frail in our community more; including: benefits checks, legal advice, annual hamper, health checks/ screening, gentle exercise classes, access to Information BULLETIN, signposting, support if in need of equipment, access to our in-house training courses, and subsidised trips. Our 2020, Care Quality Commission Inspector stated that the service were, "exceptionally well-led" and achieve a rating of "OUTSTANDING" for WELL LED criteria, with an overall rating remained at GOOD. |
TC Homecare constantly work extremely hard to develop the project further and raise the standard and quality of care provided by organising appropriate mandatory training for the all care workers. The Homecare office staff members have attended numerous meetings and training opportunities with local authorities. The Homecare project provides employment and training to approximately 65 members of the Turkish speaking community. The majority of these carers (over 90%) have or are working towards a QCF level 2 or 3 and four staff taking a QCF level 4 in Health and Social Care. |

TRAINING |
TCCA continues to provide Council for Awards in Childcare, Health and Education (CACHE) Accredited Training, providing everything from Level 2 Diploma in Health & Social Care to CPD training In Culturally sensitive nutrition. Our learners received a Qualification and Credit Framework (QCF) national recognised CACHE certification that is CQC compliant. Our qualifications are focused around staffs that are new to care industry; however we do provide refresher courses for those working as an experienced carer. We deliver all our training via our fully equipped training facility in Haringey London, this allows learners to further have access to our qualified Advice and Guidance officer, making sure learners are on the right course and level. Funding for the courses has also been made available through the Workforce Development Fund (WDF). Social Care providers access WDF funds through Skills for Care if they are keeping their NMDS records up to date. We now also use Citation Training that helps aid support our extensive training program. |
CYPRUS HOUSE RESTAURANT |
Our in-house restaurant continues to operate six days a week 52 weeks a year providing traditional Turkish Cypriot food at affordable prices; apart from its daily specials ranging from Bumbar & Seftali through to Molohiya the restaurant also provides a range of kebabs with many varying mezes as accompaniments. Every Saturday the restaurant operates it's Cypriot Meze Night; this incorporates a full meze, with Kebabs being served as the main dish, live music, dancing and much more which can be tailored to individual events. The restaurant does not hold a drink license however customers are permitted to bring their own alcohol with no corkage charge applied resulting in a cheaper evening out when compared to other restaurants, our hygiene rating is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Cyprus House can provide catering for all spaces available to hire at TCCA for parties, events as well as meetings and training courses. Cyprus House provides the daily food for the Elderly Luncheon club, a provision delivered through the subsidised joint collaboration with TCCA. Due to covid 19, the restaurant facility was close in late March 2020. |
LUNCHEON CLUB |
TCCA luncheon club is available for the Turkish Cypriot elderly community every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 11am onwards. We offer subsidised lunch provided by Cyprus House for just £5. Daily traditional Cypriot menu is offered and sometimes tailored to the wants and needs of the group itself. Lunch is followed by bingo, cards, socialising and an opportunity to meet new friends and re-connect with old friends too. Every week without fail over 20 people attend. During key festivals the number rises to over 60 with 100 attending our yearly subsidised Christmas / New Year event. We held a day trip to Clacton-On-Sea, Eastbourne and Southend for our elderly group, over 50 people attend every trip. We were able to secure a grant and TCCA asked for a small donation from all passengers to help cover the cost, keeping overall cost down for them and was affordable to many of our elders in these hard times. We offer an independent safe space for our elderly community members and is open to all not just TCCA members, new friends and family are always welcomed and we look forward to offering more events / day trips post covid.We encourage community members to bring the elderly people of their family to the Luncheon club to help combat loneliness, social isolation and exclusion. |
ROOM BOOKINGS |
Turkish Cypriot Community Association (Registered number: 03851759) |
Report of the Trustees |
for the year ended 31 March 2020 |
TCCA room hire operates by offering the main hall, Meeting room and M2 on 1st floor and T3 and T1 on the top floor. These rooms have been used for Engagements, parties, Baby Showers, Council meetings, Charity gatherings, Medical screening, Public events, in house training, Tutoring, Kids drama and Dance sessions and much more. We have fully accessible hall on the ground floor, completely flat and Disabled WC to enable us to be used for a variety of people. We were able to secure many regular bookings resulting in approx. 80% of room hire income overall coming from regular customers taking weekly session at an agreed rate for a minimum 3 month period. This has helped bring some stability to income generated and forward planning of caretaking / cleaning requirements. Our local councillor Zena Brabazon holds a monthly drop in surgery at TCCA and we are pleased to host Zena and colleagues as part of our strong working relationship with Haringey Council. We continue to host many of our community charities / establishments including; Limmasollular Dernegi, Turkish Football Association, Cyprus Islamic Group, Turkish Speaking advice sessions, Tottenham Park Cemetery Action Group, Turkish Cypriot Theatre Group and weekly Turkish Koro (singing). We have been hosting the new TCCA youth project. Unfortunately due to Covid, TCCA decided in line with government regulations to restrict access to the premises, with dramatically effected usage post March 2020. |
OTHER CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES |
TCCA has traditionally preferred to work with groups and individuals who support the local charities and as such offers a pricing structure that recognises local benefit. In 2019-20 we offered Mevlit / prayers in our hall to our community at a flat rate of £25 per hour, a 50% reduction to help people in their time of year. Charitable organisations nearby have been charging almost triple these costs for a similar booking and we continue to look at ways we can help our community. Some events held by local charities have been fully supported by TCCA as a joint venture as we continue offer public events in areas our community needs further exposure and understanding. From mental health coffee morning to Turkish Speaking Diabetes/Cancer seminars, our parliamentary hustings, educational and historical events. TCCA is proud to be able to host events like this and is working towards more free sessions in 2021. These sessions are completely free and open to all, not just our members. In 2019-20 we were able to offer Turkish folk dancing and as such offered a 12 week session completely free in partnership with dance leader Ahmet Havali. We hope to secure similar funding in 2020 as there is very little available for free in terms of Turkish tradition and heritage. The kids and parents that attended were very happy with the sessions and TCCA is proud to offer this to our community completely FREE. This year we also focussed heavily on cancer and supported five events that increased awareness of this horrible illness, events included outreach campaign, seminar, and workshops. If there is a project any organisation would like to focus on which will help our community TCCA are always happy to provide the space, support and advertisement for the kind volunteering any individual is committing too. |
HEALTH PROJECT |
TCCA is still working with the Clinical Heath Group (CCG) of Haringey, our partnership has been focusing on ensuring that Kurdish and Turkish people living within the London Borough of Haringey have a better understanding of heath provision and as such empower beneficiaries to correctly use local health provision in particular Accident and Emergency, pharmacists' amenities and the services provided by their GP. This has now develop and into delivering Turkish Cypriot Workforce Project, that helps employees with their personal health and wellbeing over the year period the project supported in excess of 200 employees with their health. |

THE ANNUAL TURKISH CYPRIOT COMMUNITY AWARDS & DINNER AND DANCE EVENT |
The Turkish Cypriot Community Awards was created by TCCA to recognise the impact that members of our community have made to the preservation of our identity. The awards are broken down in to two phases to keep them independent, away from bias and to allow for members of the community to have a role in choosing from the amazing people that have been nominated.

A shortlist was created in February 2020, and due to place a request for a public vote, however the public vote and presentation event were postponed due to Covid 19. |
INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM |
This year we arranged and held an International Symposium for Turkish Cypriots in the diaspora to discuss and be involved in Cyprus issues. The intent of this event will be to expand on this year's event. Sub-groups will be encouraged to form in separate organisations to ensure that specific subjects such as a federal resolution, military service, women's rights, LGBT rights and a range of other politics, arts and culture are explored in depth. There will then be a main symposium where these sub-groups and others come together to discuss and debate, to create a voice for the Turkish-Cypriot diaspora and their involvement in Cyprus politics. |
Principal risks and uncertainties |
The main risk and uncertainties facing the charity includes: |
a. Obtaining funding and Sponsorship for the charities activities. |
b. Ability to maintain our Care Quality Commissions' CQC fully complaint status. However this year TCCA was able to improve its CQC rating. |

STRATEGIC REPORT |
Financial and risk management objectives and policies |
The management committee has conducted a review of the major risks, which the charity is exposed to and systems have been established to mitigate those risks. Significant external risks to funding have led to the development of a strategic plan which will allow for the diversification of funding and activities. Internal risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects and to ensure consistent quality of delivery for all operational aspects of the charitable company. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they still meet the needs of the charity |
Ability to maintain our CQC fully complaint status in an arena that places more and more requirements within the provision of care. In order to maintain these standards, we remain as a cache accredited training centre that boosts new and innovative bespoke training courses. |
Bad Debts |
TCCA has noted that we have a high level of older debtors, this has also been raised as a concern by our auditors. In order to redress this, TCCA will be undertaking legal action against any debts that are over 12 months old and review of any debts over 6 months. We expect this process will instigate a number bad debts in the period March 2020 - April 2021. |

STRATEGIC REPORT |
FUTURE PLANS |
1. 117 GREEN LANES RENOVATIONS |
117 is now the base for our Hackney based workforce health project and has also been used for a number of independent sessions including folk dancing, meeting and other events. Plans have now been agreed to convert the top of the building into residential units to generate yearly income and help pay towards other expenses for 117 developments overall, during the next financial period we have accessed a £50000 bounce back loan which will aid fund the renovations. We expect work will take two months and will begin once Covid 19 is over. |
2. SOCIAL MEDIA |
TCCA manages accounts on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. We are looking at ways to make improvements to all 3 platforms and establish ways to increase followers, exposure and community links. 2020 will see some major changes and revamp of all platforms which is necessary to keep up with ever emerging trends and discussions. We also expect to launch our new fully interactive website by December 2020. |
3. TV CHANNEL TCCA |
TCCA is currently working on developing a relationship with Euro Genc TV, in order the TV station can become a platform for news and media for TCCA. The current status is that Euro Genc TV has moved into one of TCCA's premises. The first program the partnership aired was a call to develop support services for those effected by Covid. We expect the relation to establish and broad cast regularly from May 2020. |
4. COVID INITIATIVES |
The COVID-19 pandemic completely changed all our lives. Take something as fundamental as our experiences of space: our mobility has become severely restricted - reduced to jogs or walks a few kilometres around our homes, take our vulnerable asked to remain at home through the mental health issues caused by restrictions in social contact and uncertainty in relation to our future. |
During the first wave of the Covid-19 outbreak, the Turkish Cypriot Community Association (TCCA) launched various services that support the isolated, vulnerable and those needing care, by being taking the helm and instigating the launch of the Turkish Cypriot Covid-19 Support Initiative. Since the 10th of March (before lockdown One), the Turkish Cypriot Support Initiative has been providing befriending the elderly, providing shopping runs, providing pharmacy runs, operating the emergency phone service, initiative mental health support platforms and keeping the community up to date through its support page, website and online programs. During the next financial period we hope to develop further project and ensure those most in need are supported. |
5. HERITAGE PROJECT |
The Heritage Project is currently awaiting response from funders and those interested in supporting the idea and concept. This endeavour will be the largest of its kind, attempting to document, archive, preserve and exhibit photographs of people from all corners of the Turkish-Cypriot community. With the involvement of many organisations, and the endorsement of many key figures within the community, we look forward to working on this historic project. The last heritage project resulted in an exhibition, film and book - which is still celebrated today. We are hopeful that this time around it will be on an even larger scale and can represent the entirety of the community. |
6. PRESENCE IN OTHER LOCAL AUTHORITY AREAS |
TCCA is seeking to move into local authority areas of Southwark and Waltham Forest. These areas have a high concentration of Turkish Cypriots and no community centre to provide them with support. We are also seeking to partner other organisation and gain a larger foothold in Enfield where the heart of our community lies. Although we have premises in the borough, these are small and do not allow for long term growth. |

Report of the Trustees |

STRATEGIC REPORT |
Section 172(1) statement |
General confirmation of Trustees' duties |
The trustees have a clear framework for determining the matters within their remit and have approved |
Terms of Reference for the matters delegated to their assistants. Certain financial and strategic thresholds have been determined to identify matters requiring Trustees consideration and approval. |
When making decisions, each Trustee ensures that they act in the way they consider, in good faith, what would most likely promote the charity's success for the benefit of its members as a whole, and in doing so have considered (among other matters): |
S172(1) (A) "The likely consequences of any decision in the long term" |
The Trustees understand the charity and the evolving environment in which they operate, including the challenges of navigating through the current Pandemic, Brexit and the myriad of other issues that have touched our community. Based on the charity's purpose to supply quality Adult care services and other support to the vulnerable in the community by sourcing the best personnel, the Strategy set by the Trustees is intended to strengthen the Charity's position to enable it play a leading role in the supply of Care services whilst maintaining quality and promoting social responsibility. The rising standard of living of a growing UK population is likely to continue to drive demand for Adult care Provision for many years to come. At the same time, changes in the customers' demand for care to be provided in their homes means increased competition as a direct result of increasing customer choice. The long-term success of the charity is dependent on its ability to adapt with those changes and distinguishing itself against the growing competition by way of maintaining quality and customer satisfaction. The Trustees also realise the importance of their activities as a contributor to the health of society as they provide care services to the vulnerable freeing their loved ones time to carry on with their lives knowing their loved ones are in safe hands. |
S172(1) (B) "The interests of the company's employees & Volunteers" |
The Trustees recognise that the company's employees and volunteers are fundamental and core to the charity and necessary for the delivery of the Trustees' strategic ambitions. The success of the charity depends on attracting, retaining and motivating employees. From ensuring that the business remains a responsible employer in all aspects, from pay and benefits to health and safety in the workplace environment, the Trustees factor the implications of decisions on employees and the wider workforce, where relevant and feasible. Over the past 12 months we have strengthened our Training program and incorporated training provision from Citation and NVCO, which with our in-house Cache accredited training has allowed us to ensure that employees and volunteers their obligations. More information on this can be found within the company's policy for employees. |
S172(1) (C) "The need to foster the charity's relationships with suppliers, customers and others" Delivering the Trustees' strategy requires strong mutually beneficial relationships with suppliers, customers, local authorities and governments. |
TCCA seeks the promotion and application of certain general principles in such relationships. The ability to promote these principles effectively is an important factor in the decision to enter into or remain in such relationships and this, alongside other standards, are described in the various policy statements of the charity in the Trustees Report. The Charity's Principles are reviewed by the Trustees periodically. The Trustees also review and approve the Charity's approach to suppliers, partnerships and with other stakeholders, which is set out in the charity's Supplier Policy.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES - continued |
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |
In so far as the trustees are aware: |
- | there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and |
- | the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information. |

Report of the trustees, incorporating a strategic report, approved by order of the board of trustees, as the company directors, on |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Turkish Cypriot Community Association |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Turkish Cypriot Community Association (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2020 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Statement of Financial Position, the Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. |
In our opinion the financial statements: |
- | give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2020 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended; |
- | have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'; and |
- | have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. |
Basis for opinion |
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. 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, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. |
Conclusions relating to going concern |
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where: |
- | the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or |
- | the trustees have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the charitable company's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue. |
Other information |
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon. |
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. |
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements 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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. |
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 |
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: |
- | the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
- | the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
Turkish Cypriot Community Association |
Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained 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 not visited by us; or |
- | the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or |
- | certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
- | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. |
Responsibilities of trustees |
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (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 trustees 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 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 either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. |
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial 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 a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance 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. |
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.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors. |
Use of our report |
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. |
