The nursery has continued to run smoothly and efficiently. We also welcomed more new families to the nursery where we had a number of new children. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our staff for their continued hard work and dedication they give to the nursery; without them the nursery would not be as it is today without them. I would like to again thank everyone for their continuing support of the nursery ~ Our staff, committee and families who work hard to ensure this nursery continues to be such an enjoyable experience for all of our children. ## **Statement of trustees' responsibilities** Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which show a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and its financial activities for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to: - select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; - make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and - prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operational existence. The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. ## **Independent Examiner** The trustees intend to ask the existing accountants to undertake the independent examination of the charity in the following year. Signed on behalf of the trustees _Christina Stokes_ Christina Stokes 11[th] March 2024 ## **Independent examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Argyle Pre-School** I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2023, which is set out on the following page. ## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** The charity’s trustees are responsible 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 needed. It is my responsibility to: - examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act; - to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Act); and - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of the independent examiner’s report** My 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 presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts represent a “true and fair” view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. ## **Independent examiner’s statement** In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention: - (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements: - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; - to prepare 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 my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. 11[th] March 2024 Rachel Robins BSc (hons) MAAT R&S Accounts Ltd 9 Emberton Way Amington Fields Tamworth Staffs B77 3QQ CHARITY COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND ANO WALES Mo 11U7185 CC16a Receipts and payments accounts For Ihe period To L••ty•ar A1 Recoi SloffotdsF#teC Fws ￿¢4￿•￿*￿(JJn￿￿JpaW 153.192 153,192 123,541 1320 720 lthr•Blwgc¢Md Sub lotsl(Gw intww for AR) 212J81 212W2 A2J*••t¥Axl Inv••lrnJnt l•¥.
