The trustees consider that the appropriate level of free reserves the charity will require
is to have suff icient funds to cover the costs to set-up one of the fund-raising events and
maintain a stock of unilorm.
A reserve of E9.000 is held in as contingency to ensure that if the charity was to not run
for a year it would still be 8ble to provide certain funds lo the school if the trustees
chose to do so.
The trustees ar& satisfied with the curreni18vel of cash in the current accounts which
stands at £29,599.06. This level of cash will reduce once the liabilities are paid bul will
still be suff icient to rneei any lurther uniform orders and fundraising costs.
Grant-maklng Poll¢y
The Execulive Comminee assess the requests for donations from St Francis Catholic
Prlm8ry School at the regular meetings ol St Francis PTA to help in the provision ol

7109.
Respect￿ r88ponJlbliltles of truste88 and ex8min8r
The charity's trustees 8re responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's
truslees consider ihat an audit is not required tor this yeaT under Section 144 of the
Charilies Act 2011 Iihe Charitie5 Acll and that an Indepersdent examination Is needed.
It is my responsibility 10:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act.,
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Dlrections given by the Charity
Commission under section 14515llbl of the Charilies Act.,
and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
88818 of Independ8nt &X8mlner's statement
My examination was carried out in accordance wilh 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 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 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 ex8miner'8 8tat8ment
In connection with my examinaiion. no m8tter has come to my attention..
111 which gives me reasonable cause lo believe that in any material respect the
requirements:
to keep accounting iecords in accordance with section 130 ot the Charities Act: and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the
8ccounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or
121 to which. in my opinion. attention should be diawn in order to enable a proper
understanding of the accounts lo be reached.
