Financial Review
Tassibee has continued to secure funding which has enabled the project to expand its training provision, in addition to this Tassibee is responsible for its own finances reporting directly to funding organisations.
It is the policy of the company that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to a minimum of three month’s expenditure. The directors consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the company's current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised.
This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.

…………………………………………………………………… Dated
Tassibee Project Independent Report to the Trustees For the year ended 31st March 2022
I report on the accounts of the Tassibee Project for the year ended 31 March 2022 whch are set out on pages 6-7
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees (who are also the directors of the Company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider than an audit is not required for this year under section 144 (2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independant examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to :
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act
-
follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145 (5) (b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention
Basis of independant examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission. 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 you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidcence 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 :
-
Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements :
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act, and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met, or
- To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
