Financial Review
The Fund has continued to receive the support of the Rotary Club of Romsey Test with its fund raising activities.
During the year the fund raised £42,285 in respect of its normal activities. This was further increased by applying for Gift Aid which increased funding by £3,088 The net decrease in funds during the year was £6319 which when deducted from the unrestricted funds at 30[th] June 2021 gives a balance of £33,291 to carry forward into next year.
It is the fund’s policy to distribute funds as soon as recipients are identified, and to hold minimum reserves. The Trustees actively review the major risks which the charity may face on a regular basis, and believe it is appropriate to hold minimal reserves. The Trustees have also examined other operational and business risks faced by the charity, and confirm that where appropriate, they have established systems to mitigate any significant risks.
Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities
Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the charity’s financial activities during the year, and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to :-
-
a. Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently.
-
b. Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
-
c. State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.
-
d. Prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis, unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity, and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 1993. 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.
Approval
This report was approved by the Trustees on 4[th] August 2021
and signed on their behalf.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE ROTARY CLUB OF ROMSEY TEST TRUST FUND
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30[th] June 2021 which are set out on page 4. This report is made solely to the charity’s Trustees, as a body in accordance with S43(3)(a) of the Charities Act 1993. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity’s Trustees those matters which I am required to state to them in an independent examiner’s report, and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity, and the charity’s Trustees as a body, for my work for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER
As explained on Page 2, 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 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the 1993 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

-
c. State whether particular matters have come to my attention.
BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 you as Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently, I do not express an opinion on the view given by the Accounts.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS STATEMENT

-
Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
-
a. To keep accounting records in accordance with Section 41 of the 1993 Act: and, b. To prepare Accounts which accord with the accounting records, and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act.
