Registered Charity No 1082940 * ## **RESEARCH ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY** ## **STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES** **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2023** ## PALMER McCARTHY _CHARTERED CERTIFIED ACCOUNTANTS_ Suite 70 Capital Business Centre, 22 Carlton Road, South Croydon Page 1 ## **RESEARCH ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY** ## **STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2023** ## **REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF MANAGEMENT** Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of its financial activities for that period. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to: a) select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; b) make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; c) prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the charity will continue in business. The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. 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. Dr Ronak Rajani Page 2 ## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Research Echocardiography** I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31[st] March 2023 which are set out on pages 3 to 5. ## **Responsibilities and basis of report** As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
