Independent auditors' report to the members of Ingleton Wood LLP
We have audited the financial statements of Ingleton Wood LLP (the 'parent LLP') and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the year ended 31 March 2021, which comprise the group Profit and loss account, the group and LLP Balance sheets, the group Statement of cash flows, the group and LLP Statement of changes in equity and the related notes, 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, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
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 group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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.
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the members use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the 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 group's or the parent LLP's ability to continue 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 members with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Independent auditors' report to the members of Ingleton Wood LLP (continued)
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' report thereon. The members is responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 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 course of 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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.

Independent auditors' report to the members of Ingleton Wood LLP (continued)
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 Auditors' report 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 Group 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.
To identify risks of material misstatement due to fraud, we assess events or conditions that could indicate an incentive or pressure to commit fraud or provide an opportunity to commit fraud. Our risk assessment procedures include:
∙Obtaining an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the group and the sector in which they operate.
∙Obtaining an understanding of how the group is complying with those legal and regulatory frameworks by making enquiries to the group's accounting department and management.
∙Assessing the susceptibility of the group's financial statements to material misstatement caused by fraud or other irregularities, by undertaking the following procedures:
- Identifying and assessing the design effectiveness of controls which management have in place to prevent and detect fraud.
- Understanding how those charged with governance consider and address the potential for override of controls and management bias.
- Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any journal entries posted with unusual account combinations.
- Assessing the extent of compliance with the relevant laws and regulations.
- Assessing the extent to which pressures exist which may increase the risk of fraudulent revenue recognition.
Potential fraud risks that had been identified throughout the planning and commencement of the audit were communicated to the audit team, as well as potential risks pertaining to the group of which the LLP is a member.
The inherent limitations of audit present an unavoidable risk the we, the auditors, may not detect some material misstatements within the financial statements despite proper planning and performance of our duties as auditors. Equally, there remains a risk of the non-detection of fraud which could involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. The audit procedures carried out are designed to detect material misstatements within the financial statements. We take no responsibility for preventing non-compliance or fraud and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.
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 Auditors' report.

Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 31 March 2021
Ingleton Wood LLP is a limited liability partnership incorporated in England and Wales. Its registered office is 10-12 Alie Street, London, E1 8DE.
2.Accounting policies
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006 and the requirements of the Statement of Recommended Practice "Accounting by Limited Liability Partnerships".
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires group management to exercise judgment in applying the group's accounting policies (see note 3).
The LLP has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not presented its own Profit and loss account in these financial statements.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
The consolidated financial statements present the results of the LLP and its own subsidiaries ("the group") as if they form a single entity. Intercompany transactions and balances between group companies are therefore eliminated in full.
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the results of business combinations using the purchase method. In the Balance sheet, the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are initially recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date. The results of acquired operations are included in the Consolidated profit and loss account from the date on which control is obtained. They are deconsolidated from the date control ceases. In accordance with the transitional exemption available in FRS 102, the group has chosen not to retrospectively apply the standard to business combinations that occurred before the date of transition to FRS 102, being 01 April 2014. Revenue from contracts for the provision of professional services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion, costs incurred and the costs to complete can be estimate reliably. The stage of completion is calculated by comparing costs incurred, mainly in relation to contractual hourly staff rates and materials, as a proportion of total costs. Where the outcome cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is incurred only to the extent of the expenses recognised that it is probable will be recovered.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using either a reducing balance basis or a straight line basis.
Depreciation is provided at the following rates:
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Provisions are charged as an expense to profit or loss in the year that the group becomes aware of the obligation, and are measured at the best estimate at the Balance sheet date of the expenditure required to settle the obligation, taking into account relevant risks and uncertainties. When payments are eventually made, they are charged to the provision carried in the Balance sheet.
Balances on members' capital accounts at the date of retirement are paid out over a 3 year period following retirement. Balances on current accounts at the date of retirement are paid out over a 6 month period following retirement.
During the year, turnover relating to the rendering of services was £16,404,101 (2020 - £17,148,315).

The group operates a number of defined contributions pension schemes. The assets of the schemes are held separately from those of the group in an independently administered funds. The pension charge represents contributions payable by the group to the funds and amounted to £443,189 (2020 - £530,606).
After reviewing the group's forecasts and projections, the members have a reasonable expectation that the LLP has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The LLP therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its consolidated financial statements.
