Financial review
Brief statement of the charity’s policy
on reserves
The Trustees have set a reserves policy to take effect at the next financial
year which requires: - -Reserves are maintained at a level which ensures
that 6 months of organisation's core activity could continue during a period
of unforeseen difficulty for the current year this is estimated to equate to
£20,000. - A proportion of reserves are maintained in are readily realisable
form. A decision has been taken to develop a designated reserve of
£20,000. For ensuring that the running costs of the organisation are met.
The trustees consider that for a small charity Iike SGA Community
Services Ltd this reserve is currently at a reasonable Level.

However, as the charity grows, the trustees have also resolved that the reserve level should be increased to £20,700 for the 2022-2023 financial year in order to cover the risks associated with increased running costs of future community education, training projects and development and promotion of social enterprise ventures.

I report on the accounts on the charitable company on the year ended 31[st] March 2022, which are set on pages 5,5a and 6

Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner

The trustees and Directors are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the charities act 2011(the 2011 act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to: 

  - Examine the accounts under 145 of the 2011 act.

Basis of independent examiner’s statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 disclosure in the accounts and seeking explanations from the 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 of 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:
