The Szilvay Foundation Report of the Trustees Year ended 31 August 2020
The Trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2020. The report also fulfils the requirements under the Companies Act of The Report Of The Directors.
Activities
Our activities this year were severely affected by the imposition of lockdown and social distancing measures due to the global pandemic. Our core activity the Colourstrings Music School was unable to use Kingston University for most of the year, however teaching carried on with the use of online platforms such as “zoom” and “skype”, and although a few pupils were unable to continue, our overall numbers were undiminished. Financial assistance was provided to many families, some of whom were adversely affected by the pandemic. Our administrative staff and teachers showed great ingenuity and resilience in the face of the challenges brought upon them. Teacher training continued in a reduced way, with the focus of activities in Scotland. Colourstrings projects at Kings Cross Academy and Gallions School continued, albeit in a modified way, and the enthusiasm of all of our pupils was maintained with many attaining advanced grades in music exams and some notable placements at music colleges including the Yehudi Menuhin School. The financial situation was helped by a small local authority grant and by some generous gifts from parents.
Future strategy
As in previous years we intend to run more Teacher Training Courses for instrumental and music kindergarten teachers in order to increase the number of qualified Colourstrings teachers. Online training courses have now become the norm and we will be using this teaching strategy for as long as necessary while social distancing measures are prudent.
Results
The net incoming resources for the year amounted in total to a surplus of £25,359 (2019, deficit £4,767) and are set out on page 3 of the accounts.
Advice and information
The Szilvay Foundation is a registered charity, No. 1062822.
Responsibilities of the directors
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charity and the company as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year. In preparing those financial statements, the directors should follow best practice and:
-
select suitable accounting policies and the apply them consistently,
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent, and,
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis, under which it is appropriate to assume that the company will continue on that basis.
The directors are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and the company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The directors are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and the company and for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The Szilvay Foundation Notes to the accounts Year ended 31 August 2020
1 Basis of preparation
- 1.1 Basis of accounting
These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014; and with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102); and with the Charities Act 2011; and with the Companies Act 2006.
- 1.2 Reconciliation with previous Generally Accepted Accounting Practice
In preparing the accounts, the Trustees have considered whether in applying the accounting policies required by FRS 102 and the Charities SORP FRS 102 the restatement of comparative items is required. In their opinion no restatement of comparative items is required.
- 1.3 Going Concern
During the year the charity received a non-returnable local government grant amounting to £10,000 as part of the UK's Covid 19 financial assistance program. Notwithstanding the pandemic, in light of (a) the strong cash position of the charity in relation to its net current liabilities at the balance sheet date, (b) its positive trading record for the year, (c) its increasing revenue base, and, (d) its current positive cash flow, in the opinion of the Trustees the charity remains a going concern.
2 Accounting policies
2.1 Incoming resources
2.1.1 Recognition of incoming resources
These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:
-
the charity becomes entitled to the resources;
-
the Trustees are virtually certain they will receive the resources; and
-
the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
2.1.2 Incoming resources with related expenditure
Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with fundraising or contract income) the incoming resources and related expenditure are reported gross in the SoFA without offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.
2.1.3 Grants and donations
Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources.
2.1.4 Tax reclaims on donations and gifts
Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.
2.1.5 Gifts in kind
Gifts in kind are accounted for at a reasonable estimate of their value to the charity or the amount actually realised. Gifts in kind for sale or distribution are included in the accounts as gifts only when sold or distributed by the charity. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable.
2.1.6 Donated services and facilities
These are only included in incoming resources (with an equivalent amount in resources expended) where the benefit to the charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material. The value placed on these resources is the estimated value to the charity of the service or facility received.
2.1.7 Volunteer help
The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the Trustees’ annual report.
2.1.8 Investment income
This is included in the accounts when receivable.
Page 6
The Szilvay Foundation Notes to the accounts Year ended 31 August 2020
2 Accounting policies (continued)
2.1.9 Investment gains and losses
This includes any gain or loss on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year.
2.2 Expenditure and liabilities
2.2.1 Liability recognition
Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts.
2.2.2 Governance costs
Include costs of the preparation and examination of statutory accounts, the costs of Trustee meetings and cost of any legal advice to Trustees on governance or constitutional matters.
2.2.3 Support Costs
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, e.g. allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
2.2.4 Financial Instruments
The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per paragraph 10.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19, FRS102 SORP.
2.3 Assets
2.3.1 Tangible fixed assets for use by charity
These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least £500. They are valued at cost or a reasonable value on receipt. The depreciation rates and methods are disclosed in note 9.
2.3.2 Stocks and work in progress
These are valued at the lower of cost or market value.
2.3.3 Debtors
Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received.

The Szilvay Foundation Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of The Szilvay Foundation Year ended 31 August 2020
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 August 2020, which are set out on pages 1 to 10.
Respective responsibilities of Trustees and examiner
The Trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is required on the basis that the charity’s gross income for the year exceeded £25,000 although it did not exceed £250,000.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, 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;
-
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 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 material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that, in any
material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; or
-
the accounts do not accord with such records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102).
I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
