## **Swamp Circus Trust Limited Independent Examiner's Report** 

I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2024 which are set out on pages 6 to 17. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the 2011 Act”). The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the 2011 Act and that an independent examination is needed. 

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; 

- follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission 

- under section 145 (5) (b) of the 2011 Act; 

- and state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiner's report** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as 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' and 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: 

1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: o to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006 and section 130 of the 2011 Act; and 

o to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met; 

2) or to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

**Swamp Circus Trust Limited Notes to the Accounts** 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **1.1 Basis of accounting** 

The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and 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 (FRS102) second edition - October 2019 (effective 1 January 2019); 

- the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102);

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102 

## **1.2 Change in basis of accounting or to previous accounts** 

There has been no change to the accounting policies (valuation rules and method of accounting) since last year and no changes have been made to accounts for previous years. 

## **1.3 Fund accounting policy** 

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity. 

Designated funds are amounts that are allocated for specific purposes by the charity itself. 

Restricted funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose. 

Revaluation funds are unrestricted funds which include a revaluation reserve representing the restatement of investment assets at their market value. 

## **1.4 Income** 

There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS102 SORP or FRS102. 

Items of income are recognised and included in the accounts when all of the following criteria are met: 

ꞏ the charity has entitlement to the funds; 

ꞏ any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met or are fully within the control of the charity; 

ꞏ there is sufficient certainty that receipt of the income is considered probable; and 

ꞏ the amount can be measured reliably.

Tax reclaims on donations and gifts are included in the accounts at the same time as the gift/donation to which it relates 

Page 8 



## **Swamp Circus Trust Limited Notes to the Accounts** 

Donated goods and services are only included in income (with an equivalent amount in expenditure) where the benefit to the Charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material. 

The value of services provided by volunteers is not included within the accounts. 

## **1.5 Resources expended** 

Liabilities are recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and includes the attributable value added tax which cannot be recovered. 

Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is conveyed to the recipient except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year-end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure. 

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 directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. 

Support costs are the those costs required to support the charity in carrying out its activities and meeting its objects. 

Governance costs include costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the Charity, including the preparation and examination of the statutory accounts, the costs of trustee meetings and other costs linked to the strategic management of the Charity including the cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters. 

## **1.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** 

All assets costing more than £1,000 are capitalised. 

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. 

Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, which is reviewed annually. The rates used are as follows:- 

Plant and machinery   -10% straight line Motor vehicles           -25% reducing balance Office equipment        - 25% straight line 

## **1.7 Taxation**

## **1.8 Stocks** 

Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Donated items of stock are recognised at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market.
