The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ir¢land (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). In our opinion the financial statements: give a trne and fair view of the state of the chaTity'S affairs as at 31 March 2024 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure for the year ihen ended; have been properly prepared in accordanc¢ with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Aecounting Practice. and have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011. Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAS IUK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilittes for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethic81 requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC'S Ethical Standard. and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obthined 15 sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. ConclusioDS relating to going coneern In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees. use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statemenis is appropriate. Based on the work we have perfornied, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or condition5 that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when th¢ fmancial statements are authorised for issue. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. Other iDformstlOD The trustees are responsible for the other inforniation contained within the annual report. The other infomation comprises the inforniation included in the annual report, other than the financial slatements and our audilor's report thereon. Our opinion on the fmancial statements does not cover the other inforn]ation and we do not express any forn] of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other inforniatioT] an¢ in doing so, consider whether the other inforn]ation is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify Such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to detemiine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If. based on the work we have perfomed. we conclude that there is a material misststement of this other infornlation. we ar¢ required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Matters on whieh we are required to report by exception We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if. in our opinion: the inforniation given in the financial slatements is inconsistent in any material respect with the truslees, report. or INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE MARLBURIAIY CLUB CHARITABLE FUND sufficient accounting records have not been kept" or the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and retums. or we have not received all the inforn]ation and explanations we require for our audit RespoDsibilities of trustees As explained more fully in the tru5tees' responsibilities statement set out on page 6, the trustees are responsible for the prepardtion of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal ontrol a5 the trustees deterniine is necessary to enable the preparation of fmancial statements that are free from material misstatemenL whether due to fraud or ettor. In preparing the financial statements. the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity'5 ability to continue as a going concern, dlsclosing, as applicable, matters related to going wncern and using the going concertb basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidaie the charity or to cease operattons. or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the finaneial statements We have been appointed as auditor under section 145 of the Charities Act 201 l and report in accordance with the Acl and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. Our objecttves are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial stat¢m¢nts as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and io issue an auditor's report that includes OUT opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance. but is not a guaranlee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstatemeTJt when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or e￿or and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expecied to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial Siatements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line witli our responsibilitie5, Outlined above, to detect material misstaternents in respect of i￿egUlarl11es, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below. A fvrther description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at.. www.frc.org.uklauditorsresponsibilities. This description fornis part of our auditor's report. Extent lo which the audit was considered eapable of detecting irregularities. including fraud Irregularities. including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We identified and assessed the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements from irregularities, whether due to fraud or error. and discussed these between our audit team members. We then designed and perfornled audit procedures responsive io these risks, including obtaining audit ¢vidence sufficient and appropriate to provide a b￿lS for our opinion. We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within the charity operdies, focusing on laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the detennination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The laws and regulations we considered in this context were the Charities Act 201 I, together with the Charities SORP (FRS 102). We assessed the required compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the related fmancial statement items. In addition. we ¢onsidered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial ststements but compliance with which might be fundamental to the charity's ability to operate OT to avoid a material penalty. We also considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the charity for fraud. Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of Trustees and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from irregularities, including fraud. to be within the Ove￿ide of controls by management. Our audit procedures to respond lo these risks include enquiries of management and the Trustees about their own identification and assessment of risks of i￿egularl11¢$, sampl¢ testing on the posting of journals. reviewing accounting eslimates for biases, reviewing any regulatory correspjndence with the Charity Commission and reading minutes of m¢etings with those charged with governance. **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE MARLBURlAN CLUB CHARITABLE FUND** Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performance our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remains a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations. ## **Use of our report** This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. ## **Crowe U.K. LLP** Statutory Auditor 4[th ] Floor St James House St James Square Cheltenham GL503PR **Date:** 15 January 2025 9 THE MARLBURIAN CLUB CHARITABLE FUND STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 Unrestricted Designated 2024 Total 2023 Total General Restrieted Endowed Notes Ineome from: Investments: tnvestment income Interest receivable Donations & legacies 192,163 7.877 10,939 192,163 7.877 10,939 188.411 1,636 Total Income 210,979 210,979 190.047 Expenditure on: Charitable aclivities..

The Marlburian Club Charitable Fund meels the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. As a Smaller charity, exemption has been taken from the requirement to produce a statement of cash flows. Going concern Having considered future budgets and c&sh flows and looktng at 12 months from when these financial stalements are approved, the trustees confirni that they have no maierial uncertainties about the entity's ability to continue as a going oncern for the foreseeable future. With respect to the next reporting perio(I the most significant areas of uncertainty that affect the Ca￿Ing valu¢ of assets held by th¢ charity are the level of invesknent return and the perforn)ance of investment markets. The Trustees are of the opinion thai the investment return and performance are sufficienl. and that the charity h&5 sufficient funds to meet its planned expenditure. Financial Instruments The Charity holds only financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind thai qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instnmients are initially recognised at transaction value and Subsequently recognised al settlement value. Investments Investments are a form of basic fmancial instrument. They are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently valued at their fair value at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. The Statement of Financial Activities includes the net gatns and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year. Income recognition All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement lo the income, At is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Investhlent income is credited to income when it is receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity: this is nornlally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by th¢ bank. Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due. Donations are recognised on receipt. Legacies are recognised at ihe earlier of the date cash is received or the date f￿al esta* accounts ar¢ approved. Expenditure recognition Expenditure is allocaied to the particular activity where the cost relates directly to that activity. However, the costs associated with the administration and governance of the charity is apportioned based on income attributable to each fund. Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is conveyed to the recipient except in those cases where the offer is conditional. such grants being recognised &5 expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have noi been mel at the year-end are noted a5 a commilment. but not accrued &s expenditure. Creditors and provlsSons Creditors and provisions are r¢cognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting fTom a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Investment gains and losses All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and opening market value (purchase date if later). Unrealised gains and10s5es are calculated as the difference between the market value at th¢ year end and the opening market value (or purchased date if later). Funds Funds are accounted for as set out in the explanatory notes within the Report of the Trustees. 12 THE MARLBURIAN CLUB CHARITABLE FUND NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 Critical accounting judgements and estimates In preparing these f￿ancial statements, the trustees have made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the charities accounting policies and the reported assets, liabililies. income and expenditure and the disclosures made in the financial statements. EstimaÉ¢s and judgements are continually cvaluated and are based on historical experience and other faciors, including expectations of tuture events that are believed lo be reasonable under the cir¢umslances.
