Income is récognised in the period in which the charity is entitled to receipt, and the amount can be measured with reasonable certainty. Grants from other agencies including donations and other income from activities are in furtherance of the charity's objects and are part of the general funds of the charity. A restricted fund is only recognised where this is an agreed and explicit condition of the grant or donor. Intan ible Income. Due to the close collaborative relationship and the manner in which the charity's activities compliment those of the Anny, intangible income, reflected in time and use of premises is not quantifiable or measurable and so is not recognised in the accounts. Resources Ex ended and Basis of Allocation of Costs. Expenditure is included when incurred or exceptionally where a commitment is made which requires an accrual when payment is to be made in the subsequent accounting period. Similarly, where prepayments are made in recognition of commitments falling due in a subsequent accounting period, the appropriate credit is entered in the accounts and reversed the following year. Grants payable are included in the SOFA when approved by the Managing Trustee. Expenditure is recognised in the period in which it is incurred. The majority of costs are directly attributable to specific activities. Irrecoverable VAT is charged to the activity for which it was incurred. Governance Costs. Governance costs are the costs of professional advice, holding trustee meetings or committee meetings associated with decision making, any fee for audit or independent examination and any fee incurred in the preparation, statutory filing, printing or copying of the annual report and accounts. italisation and De reciation of Tan ible Fixed Assets. All assets having a purchase value of more than £500 are capitalised. The cost of tangible fixed assets are written off by equal annual instalments over their expected useful lives using the following methods of depreciation: Furniture, fixtures and equipment Motor vehicles Straight Line over a period of 2 - 1 O years. Straight Line over a period of 2 - 10 years. Assets with a life of more than one year but with a purchase value of below £500 are included within the inventory but the cost is written off in the year it is incurred and is not depreciated over the useful life of the asset. Where the asset is depreciated over a period of more than l O years, details of the item and period are to be provided following the notes on page 14. Fixed Asset Investments. Fixed asset investments are included at market value at the balance sheet date. Any gain or loss on revaluation is shown in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA). Stocks.

Funds Accountin Funds held by the charity are: (l) General Pu oselunrestricted /Desi nated Funds. These are funds that can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the dÉscretion of the Managing Trustee. Designated funds are unrestricted funds which have been allocatedleam]arked for a particular purpose by the Managing Trustee and are to be declared Rn the Managing Trustees comments in accordance with Para 12 to these notes stating what they are intended to be used for and when. (2) Endowment Funds. Endowment funds are those investments and other gifts accepted by the unit, the capital sum or propety being held in perpetuity and the income only being available for charitable use. (3) Restricted Funds. These are funds that can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is to be included in the notes to the accounts. Herita e Assets. In the course of the unit's history, the charity may have acquired gifts, memorabÉlia, regalia, silvenvare, antiques and other historical artefacts in the course of distinguished military service in service of the Crown. The value of these pieces is in large part derived from their close association with Regimental history which precludes the use of conventional valuation techniques being applied. Whilst the objects of the charity do not specifically include preservation and conservation, the picces represent an essential element of celebrating the unit's history and foster esprit-de-corps. Consequently the Managing Trustee considers the charity to hold heritage assets both for functional use and as an element of national history on behalf of the nation. Heritage assets acquired prior to l Apr 06 are therefore not capitalised on the balance sheet but a description of those assets is disclosed as part of the notes to the accounts. Heritage assets acquired after l Apr 06 where the purchase price is known and which exceed £500.00 are included in the balance sheet at acquisition value but are not depreciated. Other Costs. Other costs are those costs not incurred in the undertaking of charitable activity in furtherance of the objects of the charity, i.e. the provision of facilities, recreational programmes or activities in furtherance of military efficiency. They are also costs incurred in the making of grants and donation, in the costs of generating funds, i.e. the costs incurred in trading or fundraising undertaken by the charity, or in governance costs.

Comd/S02 SPS - Independent Examiner's Report on the Accounts, and Comments Res ective Res onsibilities of Trustees and Examiner The Charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Charity's Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: Examine the accounts (under section 43(3)(a) of the Act). Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 43(7)(b) of the Act). State whether particular matters have come to my attention. Basis of Inde endent Examiner's Statement My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 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 opinion on the accounts. Inde endent Examiner's Statement In connection with my examÈnation, no matter has come to my attention (other than that disclosed overleaP): Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: (l ) To keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the 1993 Act: (2) To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act- have not been met. To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. * Delete as applicable.

b. I have checked that the 6-monthly FM/Trustee internal financial controls checklist (British Army) was completed (see Annex B to Chapter 2 of these regulations).

  1. Direction 6: Check that the accounts are consistent with the accounting record. As the IE I examined the final accounts to ascertain if they revealed any unusual items, unexpected fluctuations or inconsistencies.

  2. Direction 7: Check that the Charity is operated in line with the accruals basis of accounting.

a. The general accounting policies of the service fund have been agreed with the Charity Commission and are listed in the AF N1514.

b. Any significant income expectations listed in the Managing Trustee’s Financial Reviews in previous accounting periods are noted and their continued receipt considered against future planned expenditure where appropriate.

c. I checked that separate funds of the charity have been correctly accounted for and reported correctly in the accounts.

d. I checked to ensure that no material breach of trust has taken place in the use of charitable funds in the reporting period e.g., use of monies in a restricted fund for a purpose outside of the restriction.

  1. Direction 9. The examiner must check whether the trustees have considered the financial circumstances of the charity at the end of the reporting period and, if the accounts are prepared on an accruals basis, check whether the trustees have made an assessment of the charity’s position as a going concern when approving the accounts.

  2. a. The IE should consider if the service fund remains viable for future accounting periods.

b. Consider the worth of the service fund over the periods of previous AF N1514s – Consider if the worth of the fund reduced over an extended period.

  1. Direction 10. Check the form and content of the account . I have:

a. The service fund accounts and AF N1514 complies with SORP and the minimum accounting standard required (SOFA, balance Sheet and completed notes to the accounts).

11. Direction 11. Direction 11 directs independent examiners to identify items from the analytical review of the accounts that need to be followed up for further explanation or evidence.

a. Any follow up action or request for further explanation can be found at paragraph 13 below.

  1. Direction 12: I have compared the trustees’ annual report with the Accounts.

Comments

  1. The IA comments are noted. I have the following comments, some of which requires action:

  2. a. The “House” restricted fund has not been utilised this period. Fund officials are to review whether this restricted fund remains fit for purposes. If it does not it is recommended that the balance be transferred to the unrestricted fund.

  3. b. G607 – Expendable property has a negative expenditure figure.

  4. c. The fund has no financial reserve policy (MT report). As this fund is registered as a charity it is recommended that a Financial Reserve Policy is put in place for this fund.
