Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities

The Charities Acts require the Board of Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the Board is required to:-

The Trustees are also responsible for maintaining adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with regulations made under the Charities Act. 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.

The Trustees are also responsible for the contents of the trustees' report, and the responsibility of the independent examiner in relation to the trustees' report is limited to examining the report and ensuring that, on the face of the report, there are no inconsistencies with the figures disclosed in the financial statements.

This report was approved by the board of trustees on 19/07/24

Independent Examiner’s Report to the trustees of Fischer Family Foundation

We have examined the financial statements of Fischer Family Fischer Family Foundation (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 December 2023 which comprise the Statement of financial activities, the Balance sheet, the Statement of cash flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. 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 Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Trustees' responsibilities statement, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Independent Examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.

  4. I have no concerns and 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.

Fischer Family Foundation

Notes to the Accounts

for the year ended 31 December 2023

1. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation of the accounts

The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 as it applies to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023. There were no material departures from this standard. The particular accounting policies adopted are set out below.

Accounting convention

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention with the exception of investments which are included at market value.

Incoming Resources

Incoming resources are recognised in full in the statement of Financial Activities in the year in which they are receivable.

Investment Income

Interest received is included on an accruals basis.

Recognition of liabilities

Liabilities are recognised on the accruals basis in accordance with normal accounting principles, in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard FRS 102 (effective 1 January 2015).

Resources Expended

The policy for including items within costs of charitable activities and governance costs is:

Charitable activities

Charitable expenditure shall include all expenditure directly related to the objects of the charity including the following:Grants payable in furtherance of the charity's objectives

The Charity receives grant applications from a number of client organisations, and every application is considered by the board of trustees in relation to pre agreed parameters. The board may accept or reject the application subject to conditions.

Although there is no legal liability to pay any grant to any organisation, and after approval, it is open to the board to withdraw an approval already granted, either before or after payment of a grant, the accounting treatment is to create a creditor for grants relating specifically to the client's activities in the current financial year of the trustees immediately upon approval, and to include grants relating to activities in subsequent financial years as financial commitments in the notes to these accounts.

At 31st December 2023 there were £ nil of such grants approved and unpaid, and a creditor for this sum is reserved in the accounts. The comparative figure for 2022 was £ nil.

Governance costs

Governance costs include all expenditure directly related to the administration of the charity including expenditure incurred in the management of the charity’s assets, organisational administration and compliance with charitable and statutory requirements.

Fixed assets and depreciation

All tangible fixed assets, except freehold land and buildings, are stated at cost less depreciation. Freehold land and buildings are stated at a valuation arrived at by a professionally qualified firm of valuers, who valued the assets on the basis of open market value in current use. Items of less than £100 are not capitalised.

Depreciation has been provided at the following rates in order to write off the assets (less their estimated residual value over their estimated useful economic lives. Plant and machinery 25% straight line

Taxation

As a registered charity, the Fischer Family Foundation is exempt from income and corporation tax to the extent that its income and gains are applicable to charitable purposes only. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the Fischer Family Foundation and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Funds structure policy

The charity maintains a general unrestricted fund which represents funds which are expendable at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the objects of the charity. Such funds may be held in order to finance both working capital and capital investment.

9

Fischer Family Foundation Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2023

Restricted funds have been provided to the charity for particular purposes, and it is the policy of the board of trustees to carefully monitor the application of those funds in accordance with the restrictions placed upon them. There are currently no restricted funds.

There is no formal policy of transfer between funds or on the allocation of funds to designated funds, other than that described above.

Any other proposed transfer between funds would be considered on the particular circumstances.

2. Winding up or dissolution of the charity

If upon winding up or dissolution of the charity there remain any assets, after the satisfaction of all debts and liabilities, the assets represented by the accumulated fund shall be transferred to some other charitable body or bodies having similar objects to the charity.
