SCENE AND HEARD TRUSTEES, REPORT
for the year ended 30 April 2023
A key element in the managerNent of financial risk is a strong reserve5 policy.
Reserves.- The trustees have reviewed the charity'5 need for reserve5 in line with the guidance issued by the Charitv
Comrnission. The trustees have identified that general fund5 should be sufficient to 53feguard the charitV5 service
commitment in the event of delays in receipt of grants and to ensure continuity iri the event of a large variation of
income. enabling the charity to run efficiently and meet the needs of the beneficiaries for at least 6 months. This
includes the obligations that would result from a decision to wind up the charity, to cover staff notice periods,
governance costs, overheads and contractual commitments.
In order to guarantee the above, the Trustees have designated that reserves equivalent to at least six months
operating costs be held by the charity to ensure it can meet its future obligations as they fall due. The reserves
amount for the financial year 2023-24 is £200,808.
In line with our IDng-term planning, The Kathryn Findlay Future Fund set up to Secure the future home of Scene &
Heard has been utili5ed to cover moving and setting up costs including a number of impravements to the building to
make it suitable for our purposes. We have installed additional toilet facilities and a purpose-built costume shed.
Remaining fund5 are for the replacement of our external gates which are not fit for purpose and a reduced fund
retained for ongoing and unforeseen building related costs.
Small Company Exemptlons
Thi5 report is prepared in accordance with the provision5 applicable to companies subject to the small companies,

**Independent Examiner's Report to the Members of SCENE AND HEARD for the year ended 30 April 2023** 

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 30 April 2023 as set out on pages 16 to 25. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees of the Company (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law), you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ("the 2006 Act"). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited for this year under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ("the 2011 Act"). In carrying out my examination, I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity's trustees those matters which I am required to state to them in an independent examiners report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to any party other than the charity and charity's trustees as a body, for my examination, for this report, or for the statement I have given below. 

## **Independent Examiner's statement** 

The charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales. I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that: 

- 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 relevant 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 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.
