Section E Financial review
Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves
The charity aims to hold reserves of a minimum of 6 months regular expenditure. With inflation running at over 20% this can be difficult to quantify so the reserves are held at 6 -12 months wherever possible. The charity’s regular monthly income does not cover the regular monthly outgoings so careful financial management is crucial.

I report on the accounts of the Animal Welfare of Luxor for the year ended 31st December 2022 which are set out on the following pages.
Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
As the Charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider that an audit is not required for the year (under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 9the Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
Examine the accounts (under section 43 of the ACT):
To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directors given by the Charity Commission (under section 43 (7) (b) of the Act; and
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent examiner's statemen t
My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directors give by the Charity Commissions. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It is also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures 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 I do not express an audit, and consequently I do not express and audit opinion on the accounts.

Independent Examiners Statement
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
1 which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material aspect, the trustees have met the requirements to ensure that: proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with section 41 of thr Act): and accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act; and
-
2 in my opinion, no attention should be drawn to any item/function or process to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
