Financial review
The net income for the year was £50,631, including net income of £59,324 on unrestricted funds and net expenditure of £8,693 on restricted funds, after transfers.
Reserves policy
The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £269,300.
Within this amount, funds have been designated by the trustees towards:
-
Building improvements (£75,000) to enable progress with renovating and redeveloping the MUGA (multi-
-
• use games area) which is currently closed.
-
Community development (£20,000) to enable our community development work to continue after
-
• external funding ceases, pending future funding opportunities.
-
Cost of living/Warm spaces (£15,000) to enable the continuation of provision of food parcels and at least
-
• two warm meals a week for a period of up to six months while we look for external funding.
The total amounts so designated at the balance sheet date, after costs expended during the year, were £102,798, leaving free reserves of £166,502, equating to 10.7 months of budgeted unrestricted expenditure, a little above the upper range of the charity's reserves policy (see below).
Highfield Community Association needs reserves to:
-
Meet contractual liabilities should the organisation have to close. This includes redundancy pay, salary
-
• notice pay, general running costs, amounts due to creditors and commitments under leases.
-
To meet unexpected costs like break down of essential office machinery, staff cover re illness, maternity
-
• leave, parental/adoption leave, and legal costs defending the charities interest.
-
To replace equipment as it wears out.
-
To ensure that Highfield Community Association can continue to provide a stable and quality service to
-
• those who need them. Within this context to minimise recruitment, staff training, staff induction and marketing costs by avoiding the need for redundancies caused by financial crisis.
-
To provide working capital when funding is paid in arrears and place the charity in a position where it
-
• could bid for funding which can be paid up to 12 months in arrears.
-
From time-to-time funding has certain restrictions, which means that by law it must be held in restricted
-
• reserves until it is spent in line with the funding agreement.

Reserves policy (continued)
Potential for short time working
Whilst the trustees have to take a prudent position and allow for redundancy in the event of a financial crisis the organisation does have a good relationship with its staff and the options of part-time working and short term lay-offs would also be considered. It should though be noted that increasingly funding is related to outputs and a move to part-time working could jeopardise some funding.
Reserves level
Highfield Community Association therefore aims to have reserves in the band of 50% -75% (6 - 9 months) of anticipated expenditure in order to meet these costs. Based on budgeted unrestricted expenditure of £186,000, this would equate to being between £93,000 and £139,500.
Maintaining a prudent level of reserves
In the event of reserves dipping below the target Highfield Community Association has set, then measures would be taken to restore the reserves. This could be achieved by increased fundraising, increasing earned income or reducing expenditure.
If reserves exceed 75% of expenditure Highfield Community Association will consider the likely expenditure over the next two years and aim of reserves to be less than 75% of turnover by the end of two years. This could be achieved by reducing fundraising, allocating less time staff time to earned income activities, reducing prices, or increasing "free" activities and so increasing expenditure. Increasing "free" activities could be one off in areas like courses or sports activities or expanding the organisation generally. In the latter case due attention will be paid to identifying funding that would sustain the expansion after the reserves had been brought below 75% of expenditure.
Monitoring and reviewing of reserves policy
The Board will consider current costs of closure and examine the level of reserves each year when setting the following year’s budget.

Statement of trustees' responsibilities
The trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees report and the financial statements in accordance with the applicable law and UK Accounting Standards.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for the year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
prepare the accounts on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (Charities SORP (FRS102)), and in accordance with the special provisions of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the charitable company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the charitable company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since the charitable company's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a fellow of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act.
I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a fellow of ACCA which is one of the listed bodies.
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:
-

-
3 the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
-
4 the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].
