FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED

31 AUGUST 2024

Statement of trustees responsibilities

The directors are responsible for preparing the annual report and the accounts in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each year.

Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the accounts in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). The accounts are required by law to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing theses accounts, the directors are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.

The directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

SAFA CUMBRIA

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT ON THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF

SAFA CUMBRIA

In order to assist you to fulfill your duties under the Companies Act 2006, we have compiled the financial statements of the company which comprise the Income and Expenditure Account and Balance Sheet and the related notes from the accounting records and information and explanations you have given to us.

This report is made to the company's Board of Directors as a body in accordance with the terms of our engagement. Our work has been undertaken so that we might compile the financial statements that we have been engaged to compile, report to the company's Board of Directors that we have done so, and state those matters that we have agreed to state to them in this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's Board of Directors, as a body, for our work or for this report.

You have acknowledged on the balance sheet your duty to ensure that the company has kept proper accounting records and to prepare financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2024 that give a true and fair view under the Companies Act 2006. You consider that the company is exempt from the statutory requirement for an audit for the period.

We have not been instructed to carry out an audit of the financial statements. For this reason we have not verified the accuracy or completeness of the accounting records or information and explanations you have given to us and we do not, therefore, express any opinion on the financial statements.
