## **GREENSTEAD COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION** 

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

I report on the accounts of Greenstead community Association for the year ended 31 March 2021 which are set out on pages 2 to 7. 

## **Respective responsibilities of 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 Act) but that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

- Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, 

- To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and 

- To state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiner’s Statement** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 considerations 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 I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

In the course of my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with  section 130 of the Charities Act; or 

- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or 

- the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of the 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. 

I 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.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

## **1. Accounting Policies** 

## **Basis of the preparation of the accounts** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement on Recommended Practise applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Rebulic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

## **Cash flow statement** 

The directors have taken advantage of the exemption in Financial Reporting Standard 1 (revised) from including a cash flow statement in the financial statements on the grounds that the company is small. 

## **Incoming resources** 

All material incoming resources have been included on a receivable basis 

They are included if the date receivable falls within the period covered by these accounts. 

## **Resources expended** 

These have been analysed using a natural classification. 

## **Depreciation** 

It is an accounting standard and legal requirement under the Companies Act to depreciate fixed assets over their useful liives.  For plant and machinery or office equipment, this depreciation is based on an estimate of that useful life.  However, where there is a definitive legal definition of useful/usable life, then this must be used as the basis of depreciation.  For leases, this will be the period of the lease, whether it be plant, machinery, leasehold building or land.  The amount of depreciation will be based on the cost less the residual value. It could be based on a higher value if it is an asset that appreciates in value. 

With Greenstead Community Association, the cost/value at which the leasehold property and land was transferred from Colchester Borough Council, is the amount to be depreciated , over the period of the lease of 99 years.
