NOTES TO THE FII54ANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH
20?4
Accounting Policies
Statement of complA2nce
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 l January 2015) -
(Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK
and Republic of Ireland (FRS I O?) and the Charities Act 2011.
Basis of preparation
Under FRS 102 assets and liabilities are initially recognized at historical cost or
transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
Going concern
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's
ability to continue as a going concem.
Income and endowments
With the exception of accounting policies detailed below, all income is recognized
once the charity has entitl¢ment to the income, it is probable that the income will be
received, and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Donations and legacies
Donations are recognized when the Trust has been notified in writing of both the
amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that
require a level of perfonnance before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is
deferred and not recognized until either those conditions are ￿LlY met, or the
fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity, and it is
probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Legacy gifts are recognized on a case-by-case basis following the granting of probate
when the administratorlexecutor for the estate has communicated in writing both th¢
amount and the settlement date.
Investment income
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be
measured reliably by the charity; this is nornially upon notification of the interest paid
or payable by the bank.
Expenditure
All expenditure is recognized once th¢re is a legal or constructive obligation to that
expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the atnount can be measured
reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregates
siTnilar costs to that category.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS, REPORT TO THE TrIEMBERS OF
THE OTTERY ST TrIARY AND DISTRICT HOSPITAL LEAGUE OF FRIENDS
Chari
No: 1000781
We report on the Accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31 March ?024, which are set out
on pages I to 7.
Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiners
The charity's trustees are responsÉble for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's
trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities
Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needd.
It is our responsibility to examine the Accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act and to
follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity
Commissioners (under Section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act), and to state whether particular
matters havc come to our attention.
Basis of Independent Examiners, Report
Our examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the
Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by
the Charity and a comparison of the accounts with those records.
It also includes
onsideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations
from you as Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not
provide all the evidence that would be required in an audiL and consequ¢ntly no opinion is
given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair, view and the report is limited to
those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent Examlners, Statement
In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention:
l) which gives us reasonable cause to b¢lieve that in, any material respect, the
requiremcnts:
to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the Charities
Act. and
to prcparc accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with
the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met. or
2) to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper
understanding of the accounts to be reached.
