## **PAINTERS' COMPANY CHARITIES** 

## **Trustees' Annual Report** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 30 September 2023** 

The Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity **will** continue to operate and to meet its liabilities as they fall due over the period of their assessment. 

In the opinion of the Trustees, it is appropriate to prepare the Charity's financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2023 on a going concern basis. Furthermore, they have identified no material uncertainties surrounding the Charity's ability to continue to operate as a going concern during a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements. 

## **Trustees' responsibilities statement** 

The trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Company law requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, for that period. 

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the applicable Charities SORP; 

- make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume 

- that the charity will continue in business. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements 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. 

The trustees' annual report was approved on 19 November 2024 and signed on behalf of the board of trustees by:

## **PAINTERS' COMPANY CHARITIES** 

**Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of PAINTERS' COMPANY CHARITIES** _**(conttnuedJ**_ 

## **Year ended 30 September 2023** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of Painters' Company Charities (the 'charity') for the year ended 30 September 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Statement of Financial position and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

In our opinion the financial statements: 

- -give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 30 September 2023 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended; 

- -have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and 

- -have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011. 

## **Basis** for opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

## **Conclusions relating to going concern** 

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. 

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. 

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- the information given in the Report of the Trustees is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or 

- sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or 

the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. 

## **Responsibilities of trustees** 

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

## **PAINTERS' COMPANY CHARITIES** 

## **Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of PAINTERS' COMPANY CHARITIES** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 30 September 2023** 

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

## **Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements** 

We have been appointed as auditors under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: 

- In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following; 

- The engagement partner ensured that the audit team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations. 

- We identified the laws and regulations applicable to the charity from our commercial knowledge and experience of the sector. 

- The specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the 

- financial statements or the operations of the charity are as follows: Charities Act 2011 

FRS 102 

Charities SORP (FRS 102) 

- We assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and reviewing board minutes. 

- Reviewing the financial statements and testing the content against supporting documentation. 

- Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected trends or anomalies. 

- Inspecting and testing journal entries to identify unusual or unexpected transactions. 

- Investigating the rationale behind significant transactions, or transactions that are unusual or outside the company's usual course of business. 

-discussing amongst the engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud; 

-obtaining an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the charity operates in and focusing on those laws and regulations.

**Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of PAINTERS' COMPANY CHARITIES** _**(cont1nuedJ**_ 

## **Year ended 30 September 2023** 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors. 

## **Use of our report** 

This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes. 

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment. 

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds. 

## Incoming **resources** 

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: 

- income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably. 

- legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established. 

- income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers. 

- income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.

**3. Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Financial instruments** 

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or pa[y] able including an[y ] related transaction costs. 

Current assets and current liabilities are subse[q] uently measured at the cash or other consideration ex[p] ected to be paid or received and not discounted. 

Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.
