HOPE Independent Examiners' Report
Independent Examiners' Report to the Board of Directors on the unaudited accounts of HOPE
Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of HOPE.
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 JULY 2025 which are set out on pages 05 to 11.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities. The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (a) to (c) of the 2006 Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section 44(1) (c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations. 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 seeks 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 view given by the accounts.
Independent examiner’s statement
In the course of 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 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 8 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations
have not been met, or
- to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding

The principal accounting policies are summarised below. The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the year and the preceding period.

The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the applicable accounting standards and the statement of Recommended Practice on Accounting by Charities.
1.2. Going Concern
The accounts are prepared on a going concern basis. The charity is dependent on the support of the trustees for its continued existence.

Donations in kind are accounted for on the basis that where there is a liability to pay for goods or services required by the charity these are subsequently donated, then the values placed on those goods or services by the donors are incorporated into the accounts as donations in kind and the appropriate expense heading for the appropriate fund, duly charged.
1.4. Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:

Unrestricted funds may be spent generally to carry out the principle activities of the charity. The trustees retain authority to reallocate such funds, so that they may be treated as designated funds whiten unrestricted income funds.
