|Financial Review:||





Financial Reserves Policy: The Trustee has considered the level of reserves that is required, appropriate to the charity’s needs. This is set at £100K, although it is currently less than that figure.  It is held within the Charity Deposit Account.  It seeks to provide three months CAF running costs and to be able to replace the narrowboat. The Trustee aims to ensure that the charity will be able to fulfil its charitable objectives even if there is a temporary shortfall in income and unexpected expenditure. The Trustee will endeavour not to set aside funds unnecessarily. Risk Assessment:                             The Trustee reviews the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and systems have been established to manage those risks and believes that by building up the free reserves it will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. Independent examination of the accounts twice yearly will mitigate the risk of any mismanagement by the committee. Public Benefit Statement:                This fund provides public benefit by assisting Service personnel to more effectively perform their roles within the Armed Forces of the Crown. It does this by providing and supporting leisure facilities and social activities. This assistance enables Service personnel to face the challenges and danger associated with military service by developing and maintaining teamwork, spirit and attitude, and morale. As a result, the fund promotes the efficiency of the Armed Forces of the Crown by enhancing their capability to undertake the roles demanded of them including the defence of the United Kingdom and its interests. 

I confirm that I have paid due regard to the Charity Commission of England and Wales’s guidance on public benefit when deciding what activities the charity should undertake. 

Declaration: 

I declare, in my capacity of Charity Trustee, that I have approved the above report.

## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustee of the HMS Heron Central Amenities Fund.** 

I report on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 30 April 2023 which are set out in pages 1 to 9 and accompanying notes. 

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

The charity’s trustee is responsible for the preparation of the accounts.  The charity’s trustee considers that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (The Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.  The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a licenced member of the Association of Accounting Technicians. 

## It is my responsibility to: 

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

- to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and 

- to 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 trustee for 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 material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

- The accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or 

- The accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or 

- The accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of the accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than in any requirement that the accounts give a “true and fair” view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **HMS HERON CENTRAL AMENITIES FUND** 

## **Notes to the Accounts dated 30 April 2023** 

## **Note 1 - Accounting policies** 

a.      The financial statements are prepared under the historic cost convention (as modified by the revaluation of fixed asset investments) and in accordance with applicable accounting standards: Charities Statement of Recommended Practice, UK Accounting Standards and the Charities Acts. 

## Incoming resources 

a.     Donations are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the CAF becomes entitled to the donation or grant and it is reasonably certain that it will be received. 

- b.     Incoming resources from fund raising are reported gross in the SOFA 

- c.     Intangible income is not included in the accounts. 

- d.     The CAF receives no unpaid volunteer help. 

- e.     Investment income is included in the accounts when receivable. 

## Expenditure and liabilities 

a.     Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the CAF to the expenditure. 

b.     Administration costs are incurred by the CAF Manager and her assistant.  These costs are not apportioned as their tasks are wide ranging in support of leisure and amenities and include  the maintenance of the Central Bank facility for other funds. 

## Assets 

a.     Tangible fixed assets are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year and cost at least £250.  They are valued at cost or a reasonable value on receipt.  The CAF does not have a policy of revaluation. Depreciation is straight line and over the estimated life of the item. 

b.     Investments on a recognised stock exchange are valued at market value at the date of the Balance Sheet or at best estimate of market value. 

- c.     Stocks are valued at the lower of cost or market value. 

## **Note 2 - Investments**

## PN INDEPENDENT EXAMINATIONS 

5 Nursery Road Havant Hants PO9 3BG 

07801 064450 

The Commodore Royal Naval Air Station Yeovilton 15 May 23 

## **THE CENTRAL AMENITIES FUND – EXAMINATION AND ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDING 30 APR 23** 

1. The annual examination of the Central Amenities Fund (CAF) for the year that ended on 30 Apr 23 has been completed satisfactorily.   There is a separate report on the other Service funds which use the CAF as a bank. Two copies of the accounts are enclosed, one for the pack and the other to be returned to the CAF Manager after approval. 

2.          A draft Trustee’s Annual Report (TAR) is also enclosed. Once approved by the Commodore, and any changes inserted, a PDF version of the annual accounts and the TAR must be uploaded to the Charity Commission website. The on-line Annual Return should also be completed at the same time. 

3. Accounts The accounts were well presented for examination with comprehensive documentation readily available. The CAF Manager had done well to keep up to date without any help. It had been a very busy time for Mrs Hawkins with extra hours worked on occasions to get the accounts completed. 

4. Musters There were no independent musters of ~~fund~~ cash, property, or stock. On the other hand, the quarterly professional musters of the Tall Trees bar stock had taken place. 

5. Savings Accounts The CAF had two Charity Deposit accounts with a total value of £231.4K. Of this total, £200.8K was the money held for the Service and Approved funds that use the CAF as a bank. There was also £46.8K held for two sub funds that were dormant. 

6. Property The property register had been updated by PNIE. The main items were valued as below (after depreciation where applicable). The total value held was £141.7K. 

- Birds Quarry £38K (non-depreciating). 

- Narrow Boat £27K. 

- Cornish Charm Lodge £28.1K. 

- Garage Equipment £47.1K. 

- Tall Trees Property £1.4K. 



## - Yeovilton Motor Centre (Accounts Note 8) 

7. The garage continued to make a loss. By this year end it was a loss of £13.8K, although better when compared to last year ‘s loss of £23.4K. The second half loss matched that of the first half ‘s £6.9K. 

8. Sales had increased by £79.9K to £116.5K leading to a gross profit of £59.6K. However, this became a net loss because of the wage bill of £66.5K (in Apr 22 it was £44.3K). The wage bill should reduce as a full-time employee left in Mar 23 and an apprentice was taken on in Feb 23. Any wage savings will not become apparent until the next year. There appeared to be no government apprentice funding or incentives available to the CAF. In addition, the apprentice is not available when on day release twice a week to college. 

9. Although the CAF cannot continue to subsidise the garage with the rate of losses it is incurring, it is hoped that the reduction of the wage bill will allow the garage to at least break even in the coming year 

10. Narrow Boat The narrow boat made a profit of £12.4K compared to £14.2K last year. In addition, there was an annual depreciation charge of £5.5K 

11. Cornish Charm Holiday Lodge The lodge made a healthy profit of £10.4K if depreciation of £2.9K is ignored. If the lodge is sold, then £27.4K will need to be returned to the Nuffield Trust (RNRMC) which largely funded the purchase of the lodge. 

12. Barber The barber’s shop rent paid to the CAF totalled £2.7K, but £1.7K was paid to the DIO leaving a small net income of £1K for the CAF. 

13. Other items of note: 

- Two donations totalling £8K were received. (Classic Motor Cars Runway Drive £5K and Somerset Mils Masons £3K). 

- Recreational Passes income was £8.8K. 

- Dog Passes income totalled £1.1K. 

- The CAF charged an annual admin fee of £12 to all the Service Funds for producing their accounts. This totalled £1.7K. 

- Caravan parking generated £5.6K income. 

- The donations and income received totalled £49K and covered the running costs of £43.9K excluding minor depreciation of £7.1K. 

14. Tall Trees Community Centre Bar sales had increased to £71.1K leading to a £5K bar net profit.  However, after other non-bar incomes and expenditure, the centre provided a profit of £4.2K for the CAF. (Note 15 & 15A of the CAF accounts). 

## Summary 

15. The CAF had made a small gain of £1K mostly as a result of the unexpected £8K donations, which partially offset the garage losses of £13.8K. 

16. The CAF was worth £189.9K but £156.7K of this was represented by property and stock. The bank and deposit accounts held £320.1K covering the liabilities of £274.5K leaving £45.6K of freely available bank assets.
