TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2021

Trustees responsibility for the financial statements

Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of its financial activities for that period, together with its assets and liabilities at the end of that period and adequately distinguish between any material special trusts or other restricted funds. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:

• select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;

• make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

• state whether the policies adopted are in accordance with the appropriate SORP on Accounting by Charities, the Accounting Regulations and with applicable accounting standards, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

• prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue to operate.

The trustees are responsible for the keeping of proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Statement of Recommended Practice and regulations made under the Charities Act 1993. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

By order of the committee on 19 November 2021

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF TOTS PRE-SCHOOL

We report on the accounts of the trust for the year ended 5 April 2021 which are set out on pages 5 to 8.

Respective responsibilities of the 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:

(a) examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;

(b) to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and

(c) to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of examiners statement

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 statement below.

Independent examiners statement

In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention:

(1) which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements

(a) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and

(b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act

(2) to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
