trustees and examiner 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 Charities Act, and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent My examlnation was carried out in accordance with general Directions given
examiner's statement 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 conceming any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not
provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and
onsequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a Yrue
and fair, view and the reporl is limited lo those matters set out in the
statement below.
Independent In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention
examlner's statement
1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect,
the requirements:
to keep accounting records in accordance with seclion 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. or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a
proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

KENT SCHOOLS FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION
(Chan"ty 1048049)
TRUSTEES? REPORT TO THE CHARITY COMMISSIONERS
2023-2024
The KSFA has continued to provide, on a voluntary basis, a variety of football activities for young
people att¢nding schools in the Administrativc County of KenL the Medway Unitary Authority, and
thc London Boroughs of Bexley and Bromley> in pursuance of its object: the mental, moral and
physical development ofschoolchildren through the medium ofAssociation Football.
Th&8e activities have included:
• Inter-school l(nock-out competitions from Under 12 to Undcr 19 (Boys)
• The long-established KSFA Under 19 League, now in its 45 seaso￿ with over 90 teams in the
16-19 age group playing wcckly fixtures
+ Inter-school l(nock-out competitions for Girls (Under 13, Under 14, Under 16 and Under 18)
• Inter-district competitions from Under I I to Under l5 (Boys)- some of which date back to 1921
• County Representative Teams from Under I I to Under 18 (Boys)
• County R4)resentative Teams for Girls (Under 14 and tinder 16)
• Tours abroad for some of the county rq)resentative teams
Participation levels in the inter-school COM￿ltiOnS continued to rise and were ahnost back to pre-
Covid levels. This boosted income. There were good income streams from cup fllials, where online
ticketing continued to be very sUcceSsfi￿. Cost pressures, largely the result of Infiatio￿ affected the
staging of inter-county games.
The KSFA'S fmancial situation remains good, despite reductions in grant income for competitions
from the English Schools FA. A strong balance sheet enables the KSFA to withstand some reduction
Reserves Policy: The Association holds reserves to cover setbacks in funding or cash flow and to
reduce the impact of risks from the external ¢nvironment. These proved to be beneficial during the
disruptions caused by Covid-10, and duting the period of high infiation in 2023. Reserves are
necessary to ensure the Association can meet its obligations if intended funding sources diminish. ID
considering the appropriate level of reserves the Tn]ste¢s considered areas of possible financial risk.
These equate to at least 18 months of operating Costs, and therefore the intention of the Trustees is to
have Reserves of at least this amount.
