The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the accounts and comply with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and
"Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities in preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK (FRS 102)" .

All trustees give of their time freely and no trustee remuneration was paid in the year.

Reference and Administration details are shown in the schedule of members of the board and professional advisers on page 2 of the financial statements.
Structure, governance and management
Greenline Foundation Ltd is a charity constituted as a company limited by guarantee and as such, is governed by its memorandum and articles of association.

Report of the Directors/Trustees (continued)
The trustees plan to continue making similar grants and to ensure that an appropriate level of reserves is maintained.
In setting objectives and reviewing the Charity's aims and plans, the Trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit.
Risk Management
The Trustees have identified and reviewed the major risks to which the charity is exposed. Both manual and automated checks are regularly invoked, particularly those relating to the investments and finance of the Charity. The Trustees are satisfied that these systems and procedures mitigate any perceived risks.
Going Concern
The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis as the directors have been assured of the continuing support from the company/charity's creditors.
Concern has been raised by the independent examiner and accountants as to the level of creditors, net liabilities (shown on the balance sheet), and of the continuation of the charity / company in the long run. The trustees have ensured that the long-term creditors shown in the financial statement as “Creditors: Amounts falling due after more than one year” are the directors / trustees loan account or associated companies which are wholly controlled by the directors / trustees.
The trustees are confidant that these loans are indeed long term and the creditors are committed to not take any action for the recovery of these loans if the continued operation of the charity / company is compromised.
Reserves Policy
The trustees retain reserves of £5,000 and where appropriate, consolidate funds in order to enable the charity to meet future needs or to make more substantial grants which they feel to be appropriate.
Responsibilities of the Directors/Trustees
Company Law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the Balance Sheet Date, and of its incoming resources, including income and expenditure for the financial year.

Report of the Directors/Trustees (continued)
Financial statements
In preparing those financial statements, the Directors/Trustees should follow best practice and

a. Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently.
-
b. Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
-
c. Follow applicable accounting standards and the Charities SORP, disclosing and explaining any departures in the financial statements.

The Directors/Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the charity's assets and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other regularities.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees
I report on the financial statements of Greenline Foundation Ltd for the year ended 31 March 2023.
Respective Responsibilities of Governors 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 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities 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 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 the 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.
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention;
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
have not been met; or
- to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
