## **MEN BEHAVING DADLY**
## **TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT**
## **Trustees' Responsibility for the Accounts**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which show a true and fair view. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
* Prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in operation.;
The trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity. 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.
## **Report of the Trustees**
## **Structure, Governance and Management**
Men Behaving Dadly is a registered Charity number 1142534. The Charity was registered in 2000. MBD has at its core a commitment to enabling relationship building between dads/male carers and their children, raising self-esteem, increasing confidence in parenting, promoting the values of play and combating the sense of isolation many dads feel.

Under the requirement of the constitution, the MBD Management Committee shall consist of not less than three elected officers. The Management Committee as a whole must consist of not less than three and not more than twelve committee members.
In addition, the constitution allows for a person or persons to be co-opted by the Management Committee to assist with particular pieces of work.

## **MEN BEHAVING DADLY**
## **REPORT TO THE MEMBERS ON THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF MEN BEHAVING DADLY**
## **YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023**
I report on the accounts for the year ended 30 September 2023 as set out on pages 7 to 10.
## **Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner**
As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
The charity’s trustees consider an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the 2011 Act, and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility as independent examiner to:
- ~ examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act
- ~ follow the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act, and
- ~ to state whether particular matters have come to my attention
## **Basis of Independent Examiners Report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 of 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.
## **Independent Examiners Statement**
I have completed my examination for the year ended 30 September 2022.
I can confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- ~ accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act or
- ~ the accounts do not accord with the accounting records to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
