~~R~~ educed income from fund raising. The Group is primarily reliant upon income from subscriptions and fundraising. The group does hold a reserve to ensure the continuity of activities should there be a major reduction in income.
Reduction or loss of leaders.The Group is totally reliant upon volunteers to run and administer the activities of the group. If there was a reduction in the number of leaders to an unacceptable level in a particular section or the group as a whole, then there would have to be a contraction consolidation or closure of a section. In the worst case scenario the complete closure of the Group.
Reduction or loss of members. The Group provides activities for all young people aged 6 to 18. If there was a reduction in membership in a particular section or Group as a whole, then there would have to be a contraction consolidation or closure of a section. In the worst case scenario the complete closure of the Group.
The Group has in place systems or controls that are designed to provide reasonable assurance against material mismanagement or loss, these include 2 signatories for any payments and comprehensive insurance polices to enable that insurable risks are covered.
There have been no insurance claims during this reporting period

has not drawn on reserves and has formally set aside**£10,014.**|

||**Cash funds**
The increase in cash funds is largely due to a restricted grant which was utilised after the year-
end.
The general reserve for contingencies remans in line with Finance Policy at **£10,014** and the
development fund is largely unchanged at **£13,514** with activity ongoing alongside the council to
achieve a permanent storage facilitynning consent for a new storage facility.
**Accounts**
The Group's Accounts for the period 1st April 2022 to 31st March 2023 have been prepared on a
Receipts and Payments basis in line with guidance set out by the Scout Association and the
Charities Commission in order to comply with the Charities Act 2011. The Accounts have been
subject to independent examination by Spectrum Accountancy Solutions Limited in accordance
with the Charities Act 2011. The Group Accounts together with the Examiners report are attached.
See Appendix 11
The Group Executive Committee does not consider it appropriate for the group to invest in assets
other than cash and has not identified any fund it would be appropriate to hold in longer term
investments. All funds are therefore held in cash with Lloyds Bank.
Income and Expenditure
Excluding restricted funds, the Group had a total income for the year of **£45,511.00.**|

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of 1[st] Bradley Stoke Scout Group**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of 1[st] Bradley Stoke Scouts Group (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2023.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than 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 no concerns and 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.

## 1st Bradley Stoke Scout Group Accounts for the year 1st April 2022 to 31 March 2023
## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of 1[st] Bradley Stoke Scout Group**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of 1[st] Bradley Stoke Scouts Group (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2023.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than 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 no concerns and 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.
