we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of trustees, responsibilities (set out on page 111, the trustees are
responsible for the preparation of the financial ststements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair
view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial
ststements that are free from material misstatemenL whether dueto fraud or error.
In preparin8 the financial statements. the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue
as a 80ing concem, disclosin& as applicable, matters related to going concern and usin8 the going concern
basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no
realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor responslbilitles for the audlt of the finan¢ial statements
Our objective5 are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free
from material misstatemen( whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditorfs report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with ISAS IUKI will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise
from f r2ud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be
expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial ststements.

AFC Bournemouth Communlty Sports Trust
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of AFC Bournernouth Community Sports
Trust (continued)
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detectin8 irregularities. including fraud is detailed below,.
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the charity and the
sertor in which they operate.
We obtained an understanding of how the charity is complying Wlth those legal and regulatory frameworks
by making enquires of management and Trustee5.
We a55essed the susceptibility of the charity's financial statements to material misstatement. including
how fraud might occur. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included..
l.Identifying and assessing the design effectiveness of controls man4ement has in place to prevent and
detect fraud.
2.Understanding how those charged with governance considered and addressed the potential for override of
Controls or other inappropriate influence over the financial reporting process.
3. Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in its accounting estimates, in particular in
relation to income recognition and cut off.
4. Identifying and testing journal entries. in particular any journal entries posted with unusual account
combinations- and
5. Assessing the extent of compliance with the relevant law and regulations.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit. there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularitles, includin8
those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This
risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transattions
reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instsnces of non-compliance.
The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, a5 fraud involves
intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or Misrep￿$entatlon.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company'5 trustees. as a body. In accordance with Chapter 3 of Part
16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's
trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditorfs report and for no other purpose. To
the fullest extent permitted by law. we do not accept or assurne responsibility to anyone other than the
charitable company and its trustees as a body. for our audit worl for thi5 reporL or for the opinions we have
formed.

Z Accountlng policies
Summary of slgnificant accounting poliaes and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below.
These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless Qthenwise stated.
Staternent of compliance
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 {FRS 10211 {i5sued in October 20191
(Charities SORP IFRS 102)). the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFR5
1021 and the Companies Act 2006.
Basis of preparatlon
AFC Bournemouth Community Sports Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
Assets and liabilities are init1311y recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in
the relevant accounting policy notes.
Going concern
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity'5 ability to contlnue as a going
concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity.
Income and endowments
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the Income will be
received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably.
Page 19

AFC Bournemouth Community Sports Trust
Notes to the Financlal Statements for the Year Ended 30 November 2024 (continued)
2 Accounting pollcles {¢ontlnued)
Donotions and legacie5
Donatlons are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement
date. In the event that a donation is subjett to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity
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 15
probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Gronts receivable
Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants
have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is
recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.
Investment Inton
Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the
dividend due.
Expenditure
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable
settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable
expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to
particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff
costs allocated on the basis of time spent. and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use.
Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
Rolslngfvnds
These are costs incurred in attractin8 voluntary income. the management of investments and those incurred in
trading activities that raise funds.
Charitoble artivities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and
services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated dirertly to such activities and those
costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Grant pmvisions
Provisions for grants are made when the intention to make a grant has been communicated to the recipient
but there is uncertainty about either thÈ timing of the grant or the amount of grant payable.
Support costs
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activlty cost categorie5 on a basis
consistent with the use of resources. for example, allocating property costs by floor areas. or per capita, staff
costs bythe time spent and other costs by their usage.

2 Accountlng pollcles (continued)
Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph I Schedule 6 01 the Finance Art 2010 and
therefore it meets the detinition of a charitable company for UK corporation tsx purposes. Accordin8lyJ the
charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respert of income or capital gains received within categorie5
covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable
Gains Act 1992. to the extent that such income orgains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
Tanglble fixed assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated
depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair
value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated
impairment losses.
An increase in the carryin8 amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recogni5ed
gain5 and 1055e5. unles5 It reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as
expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as
result of revaluation, is re¢o8nised in other re¢ognised gains and losses. except to which it offsets any previous
revaluation 8ain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised 8ain5 and1055es on the Statement of
finanaal attivities.
Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciatlon is provlded on tanglble fixed assets so a5 to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated
residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows..
Asset class
Fixture5 and Fittings
Motor vehicles
Depreciatlon method and rate
25% Reducing balance
25% Reducing balance
25% ReducinB balance
Equipment
Impalrment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being
estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value eX￿ed5 the recoverable amount, the asset is
impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible revers31 at each reporting date.
For the purposes of impairment testin& when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an
individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the ca5h- senerating unit to which the asset
belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and
generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
For impairment testing of goodwill, the 8oodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition
date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the
combination. irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assi8ned to those units.

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised
cost using the effective interest method. less provision for impairment. A provision for the impaimient of trade
debtors is estsblished when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts
due according to the original terms of the receivables.
Cash and cash equlvalents

unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve
months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve
months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trède creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost
using the effettive interest method.
Borrowings
Interest-bearins borrowings are initially recorded at fair value. net of transartion costs. Interest-bearing
borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost. with the difference between the proceeds, net of
transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the Statement of
Financial Activities over the period of the relevant borrowing.

and similar charges.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the charity has an unconditional right to defer settlement
of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.
