of the period
Statement explaining the Para 1.22 It is recognised that there are some potential
policy for holding reserves risks to holding a festival. A reserve of £50,000 is
stating why they are held held and it is thought to be adequate on the
basis of a total loss of the event. If it is decided
that the event will no longer be held then the

new Skatepark in Bourne. This reserve of
£25,000 was voted on by committee members
as unanimous. This amount is reserved until all
funds are secured by the Skatepark committee.

this amount shall become distributable.

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Bourne & District Round Table
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31 March 2022. 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(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
• examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act
• to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the commission under section
145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act
• to state whether particular matters have come to my attention
Basis of 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 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 next statement.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with 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 2011 Act and
• to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 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
