**The Alligator Trust** 

## **Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31st January 2025 Charity No. 1081078** 

## **Charitable Status** 

The Alligator Trust is a charitable trust, registered in England, and established under a Trust Deed dated 1st February 2000. 

The objects of the Trust are such exclusively charitable purposes as the Trustees in their absolute discretion from time to time think fit. The Trustees must use the income and may use the capital of the Trust in promoting the objects of the Trust. 

The Trustees continue to review the major risks to which the charity is exposed. Systems have been established and continue to be regularly reviewed to mitigate those risks. The Trustees have regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. **Financial Review** 

Details of financial activities during the year are shown in the accounts on pages 3 to 6. 

The Trustees acknowledge their responsibility to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Trust and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the Trust for that year. In preparing those accounts, the Trustees are required to 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- prepare accounts on a going concern basis, unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Trust will continue in its activities; 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Trust and to enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities SORP. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Trust and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

**The Alligator Trust** 

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Alligator Trust** 

I have examined the accounts set out on pages 3 to 6. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and independent 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 s. 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act)) and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts (under s. 145 of the Act); 

- follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under s. 145(5)b of the Act); 

- state whether particular matters have come to my attention; 

## **Basis of independent examiner's statement** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 matter has come to my attention: 

1. Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: 

- to keep accounting records in accordance with s. 130 of the Act; and 

- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act 

have not been met; or 

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