STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales 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 the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and, hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention of fraud and other irregularities.

HEART VALVE BANK INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF HEART VALVE BANK
I report on the accounts of the Heart Valve Bank for the year ended 31[st ] December 2020 which are set out on pages 6 to 14.
The report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. My examination has been undertaken so that I may state to the charity’s trustees those matters that I am required to state to them in an independent examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity’s trustees as a body, for my examination, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.
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 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission 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 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 the seeking of 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 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 section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met; or
- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

HEART VALVE BANK
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[st] DECEMBER 2020
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a) Basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities; Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective January 2015) – (Charities SORP FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost.
b) Going Concern
The charity’s activities together with its performance and reserves position are set out in the Trustees Report on page 3. The trustees have confirmed their support for the charity and have reasonable expectation that it has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
The Trustees have also considered the implications of COVID-19 and are of the opinion that the outbreak is likely to cause a significant disruption to the charity’s activities. They are however confident that the charity can continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements.
c) Income recognition policies
Items of income are recognised and included in the accounts when all of the following criteria are met:
-
The charity has entitlement to the funds;
-
Any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met or are fully within the control of the charity;
-
There is sufficient certainty that receipt of the income is considered probable; and
-
The amount can be measured reliably.

d) Donations
Donations, are recognised when they have been communicated in writing with notification of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
e)
Investment income
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.
f)
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as resources expended as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs relating to the category.
g)
Grants
Grants payable are payments made to third parties in the furtherance of the charitable objects of the Trust. In the case of an unconditional grant offer this is accrued once the recipient has been notified of the grant. The notification gives the recipient a reasonable expectation that they will receive the one year or multi-year grant. Grants awards that are subject to the recipient fulfilling performance conditions are only accrued when the recipient has been notified of the grant and any remaining unfulfilled conditions attaching to that grant are outside of then control of the Trust.
Provisions for grants are made when the intention to make a grant has been communicated to the recipient but there is uncertainty as to the timing of the grant or the amount payable.
h) Foreign Currencies
Assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange at the Balance Sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account when arriving at the net incoming/ outgoing resources.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[st] DECEMBER 2020
i) Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid after taking account of any trade discounts due.
j) Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
k) Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any discount due.
l) Financial instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised as transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
m) Value Added Tax
The charity is not registered for VAT and all VAT paid is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred.
n) Taxation
The charity is exempt from taxation on its income and gains which are applied for charitable purposes
