Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Friends of RSPCA Millbrook Animal Centre
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Friends of RSPCA Millbrook Animal Centre
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Friends of RSPCA Millbrook Animal Centre (the Trust) for the year ended 30 April 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust 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 Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all 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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 April 2025
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Financial instruments
The charity has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's statement of financial position when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the Instrument.
Basic financial instruments are recognised initially in the accounts at transaction price, including any transaction costs. At the end of each accounting period, basic financial instruments are recognised at amortised cost. For debt instruments this is calculated using the effective interest rate method.
Winding up or dissolution of the charity
If upon winding up or dissolution of the charity there remain any assets, after the satisfaction of all debts and liabilities, the assets represented by the accumulated fund shall be transferred to some other charitable body or bodies having similar objects to the charity.

2. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision effects both current and future periods.

Dear Sirs
THE FRIENDS OF THE RSPCA MILLBROOK ANIMAL CENTRE ACCOUNTS TO 30 APRIL 2025
We confirm to the best of our knowledge and belief, and having made appropriate enquiries of other officials of the charity, the following representations given to you in connection with your work on the charity’s accounts for the period to 30 April 2025.
-
We acknowledge as the board of trustees our responsibilities under the Charities Act 2011 for preparing accounts which give a true and fair view and for making accurate representations to you. All the accounting records have been made available to you for the purpose of your work and all the transactions undertaken by the company have been properly reflected and recorded in the accounting records. All other records and related information, including minutes of all management and trustees’ meetings, have been made available to you.
-
In our opinion, the balance sheet includes all cash and bank accounts and all other assets and, on realisation in the ordinary course of business, the current assets in the accounts are expected to produce not less than the net book amounts at which they are stated.
-
All assets were free from any lien, encumbrance or charge except as disclosed.
-
The amounts stated in the accounts as provision for liabilities, losses and diminution in the value of assets are, in our opinion, sufficient and reasonable for those purposes.
-
All income which arose up to the date of the accounts has been brought into account.
-
There have been no events since the balance sheet date which require adjustment or disclosure in the accounts. We have no plans that may materially affect the stated value or classification of assets and liabilities.
-
At the balance sheet date there were no contingent liabilities of a material amount and no litigation in progress, pending or threatened, other than as disclosed or provided in the accounts.
-
In our opinion, the charity is entitled to exemption from the requirements for a statutory audit.
Yours faithfully
…………………………………………………….. Trustee Approved by the board and signed on its behalf.
