## Youth Work Unit - (Yorkshire and the Humber) CIO
## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2022
## **Financial review**
The net income for the year was £60,296, including net income of £63,037 on unrestricted funds and net expenditure of £2,741 on restricted funds.
The trustees have reassessed the charity’s ability to continue for at least 12 months from the date that the accounts are approved and conclude that no material uncertainties exist that cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
## **Reserves policy**
The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £165,023.
The Youth Work Unit Yorkshire and the Humber monitors its reserves three times a year through income and expenditure forecasts produced for the Board. Should the situation arise where reserves reach a level of £30,000 or lower, the board will meet to consider the viability of the organisation in order to ensure that its obligations can be met. In addition, should the reserves reach a figure of £60,000 or more, this will trigger a discussion at the following meeting of the Board, where the level of reserves will be reviewed.
Due to the ongoing effect of the pandemic our reserves have remained particularly high. We have again been restricted as to the amount of face to face meetings or training, so the associated costs have been minimal. Due to the level of reserves we have been able to take on one more member of staff and we were unsuccessful in filling a more substantive post, but are intending to pursue this.
Signed on behalf of the board of trustees on 09/08/2022

## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Youth Work Unit - (Yorkshire and the Humber) CIO
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the CIO for the year ended 31 March 2022, which are set out on pages 6 to 11.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the CIO you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the CIO's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
- 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Charities Act; 2 the accounts do not accord with those records; or
- 3 the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of 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 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.

These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.

Where grants are related to performance and specific deliverables, they are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance.
## **Expenditure and liabilities**
Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out the resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
## **Taxation**
As a charity the organisation benefits from rates relief and is generally exempt from income tax and capital gains tax but not from VAT. Irrecoverable VAT is included in the cost of those items to which it relates.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Tangible fixed assets costing more than £2,500 are capitalised and included at cost including any incidental expenses of acquisition. Gifted assets are shown at the value to the charity on receipt.
## **Pensions**
