Independent Examiner' Report to the Trustees of NAPLIC
Respective Responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The Charities Act require the Board of Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the Board is required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
-
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed - subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.
Basis of independent examiner's statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention 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; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met.

1 General Information
NAPLIC is a charity registered and domiciled in England. Its principal activity is to promote and develop professional awareness of the special educational needs of language impaired children. The contact address is 32 Murray Road, Wallsend, NE28 0LY.
2 Accounting Policies
Basis of accounting policies
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the revised Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015)'.
Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy,
Reporting currency
The financial statements are presented in £ Sterling, its functional currency and rounded to the nearest £.
Revenue recognition
Income is accounted for on a receivable basis.Where income is invoiced or received that relates to subsequent periods, income is treated as deferred income.
Recognition of liabilities
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure on charitable activities includes the direct costs of providing services and running project, including the annual conference.
Debtors and Prepayments
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any discounts.
Creditors
Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation arising from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle can be measured reliably.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from income and corporation tax to the extent that its income and gains are applicable to charitable purposes only. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the company, and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Financial instruments
The charity only has basic financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. These are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

NAPLIC Notes to the Accounts For the year ended 31st December 2023
1 General Information
NAPLIC is a charity registered and domiciled in England. Its principal activity is to promote and develop professional awareness of the special educational needs of language impaired children. The contact address is 32 Murray Road, Wallsend, NE28 0LY.
2 Accounting Policies
Basis of accounting policies
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the revised Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015)'.
Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy,
Reporting currency
The financial statements are presented in £ Sterling, its functional currency and rounded to the nearest £.
Revenue recognition
Income is accounted for on a receivable basis.Where income is invoiced or received that relates to subsequent periods, income is treated as deferred income.
Recognition of liabilities
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure on charitable activities includes the direct costs of providing services and running project, including the annual conference.
Debtors and Prepayments
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any discounts.
Creditors
Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation arising from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle can be measured reliably.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from income and corporation tax to the extent that its income and gains are applicable to charitable purposes only. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the company, and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Financial instruments
The charity only has basic financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. These are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
