The Trustees consider the financial performance by the charity during the year to have been satisfactory. Specific changes in fixed assets are detailed in the notes to the accounts.

Policies on reserves

The charity runs five morning and afternoon playgroup sessions per week. The Reserves Policy is to maintain sufficient level of reserves to enable normal operating activities to continue over a period of up to one month should a shortfall in income occur and to take account of potential risks and contingencies that may arise from time to time.

In order to make a judgement on the amount of reserve the Trustees have considered the risks in respect of expenditure, unrestricted income and where funds can only be realised by the disposal of a fixed asset. Also taken into consideration are any external identified potential major risks to income and expenditure during the year under consideration.

A risk assessment has been undertaken for the year 2020-2021 and the following major risks to the charity have been determined as:

• Change of Government

• • Economic Environment

• Global Pandemic

The charity’s Reserves Policy is to ensure that reserves are sufficient to cover the liabilities such as redundancy, creditors, lease commitments and provide monies to cover advance fees paid by users.

Availability and adequacy of assets of each of the funds

The Board of Trustees is satisfied that the charity’s cash assets are available and adequate to fulfil its obligations.

Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2021

Statement of the Directors Trustee’s Responsibilities

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Notwithstanding the explicit requirement in the extant statutory regulations, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the SORP 2005, in view of the fact that the SORP 2005 has been withdrawn, the Trustees determined to interpret this responsibility as requiring them to follow current best practice and prepare the accounts according to FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015 (as amended by the Bulletin issued in February 2016, the SORP).

In particular, the Companies Act 2006 and charity law require the Board of Trustees 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 end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity. In preparing those financial statements, the Board is required to:

• prepare the accounts in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law),

• select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently,

• make judgements and estimates that are responsible and prudent,

• prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business,

• state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.

The law requires that the Trustees must not approve the accounts unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the surplus or deficit of the charity for the year.

The Trustees are also responsible for maintaining adequate accounting records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which are sufficient to show and explain the charity’s transactions and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and comply with regulations made under the Charities Act. They are also responsible for safeguarding assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The Trustees are also responsible for the contents of the Trustees’ report, and the statutory responsibility of the Independent Examiner in relation to the Trustees’ report is limited to examining the report and ensuring that, on the face of the report, there are no material inconsistencies with the figures disclosed in the financial statements.

Report of the Independent Examiner to the Trustees of Carlton Playgroup Limited on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021

I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statement of Carlton Playgroup Limited on pages 11 to 15 for the year ended 31 March 2021, which have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, (effective 1 January 2016) as modified by FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued February 2016), (The SORP), published by the Charity Commission in England and Wales (CCEW), and under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set out on page 14.

Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the Independent Examiner and the basis of the report

As described on previously, you, the charitable company’s Trustees, who are also the Directors of the Company for the purposes of Company Law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011 and all other applicable law and with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, applicable to smaller entities, and for being satisfied that the financial statements give a true and fair view.

The Trustees consider that the audit requirement of Section 144(1) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) does not apply, and that there is no requirement in the memorandum and articles of the charity for the conducting of an audit, and that the accounts do not require an audit in accordance with Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and that no member or members have requested an audit pursuant to Section 476 of the Companies Act 2006. As a consequence, the Trustees have elected that the financial statements are subject to independent examination.

Having satisfied myself that the financial statements are not required to be audited under any legal provision, or otherwise, and are eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

• examine the financial statements of the charity under Section 145 of the Act,

• follow the applicable procedures in the directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Basis of Independent Examiner’s Statement and scope of work undertaken

I report in respect of my examination of the Charity’s financial statements carried out under Section 145 of the Act. In carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act setting out the duties of an Independent Examiner in relation to the conducting of an independent examination. An independent examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charitable company and of the accounting systems employed by the charitable company and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeking explanations from you, as Trustees, concerning such matters. The purpose of the examination is to establish as far as possible that there have been no breaches of charity legislation and that, on a test basis of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures made, the financial statements comply with the SORP.

The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and information supplied by the Trustees in the course of the examination is not subjected to audit tests or enquiries and does not cover all matters that an auditor would consider in arriving at an opinion. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide.

Consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements, and in particular, I express no opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view of the affairs of the Charity, and my report is limited to the matters set out in the statement below.

I planned and performed my examination so as to satisfy myself that the objectives of the independent examination are achieved and before finalising the report I obtained written assurances from the Trustees of all material matters.

Independent Examiner’s Statement, Report and Opinion

Subject to all limitations upon the scope of my work as detailed above, I have completed my examination and can confirm that the accounts of this charitable company are not required to be

Carlton Playgroup Limited

audited under Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006, this is a report in respect of an examination carried out under section 145 of the Act and accordance with directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act which may be applicable, and that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

• accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by Section 386 of the Companies Act 2006 and Section 130 of the Charities Act 2011,

• the financial records do not accord with those records, or

• the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in Section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 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;

• have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles set out in the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in February 2016), (The SORP).

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 financial statements to be reached.

Policies relating to the production of the accounts

Basis of preparation and accounting convention

The accounts have been prepared on the accruals basis, under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard 102 (effective 1[st] January 2016) and ‘FRS 102 SORP’ (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended in the Bulletin issued February 2016), (The SORP), published by the Charity Commission in England and Wales (CCEW), effective January 2016, and in accordance with all applicable law in the Charity’s jurisdiction of registration, except that the Charity has prepared the financial statements in accordance with the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015 (as amended in the Bulletin issued February 2016), (The SORP), in preference to the previous SORP, the SORP 2005, which has been withdrawn, notwithstanding the fact that the extant statutory regulations, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 refer explicitly to the SORP 2005. This has been done to accord with current best practice.

This Charity has decided that the accounting policies set out below, which it followed prior to The SORP, shall continue to be followed:

Risks and future assumptions

The Charity is a public benefit entity.

A risk assessment has been undertaken based on the year 2020-2021 and the major risks to the Charity are:

• Change of Government

• Economic Environment

• Global Pandemic

Policies relating to categories of income and income recognition

Nature of Income

Gross income represents the value, net of value added tax and discounts, of goods provided to customers and work carried out in respect of services provided to customers.

Categories of Income

Income is categorised as income from exchange transactions (contract income) and income from non-exchange transactions (gifts), investment income and other income.

Income from exchange transactions is received by the charity for goods or services supplied under contract or where entitlement is subject to fulfilling performance related conditions. The income the charity receives is approximately equal in value to the goods or services supplied by the charity to the purchaser.

Income from a non-exchange transaction is where the charity receives value from the donor without providing equal value in exchange, and includes donations of money, goods and services freely given without equal value in exchange.

Income recognition

Income, whether from exchange or non-exchange transactions, is recognised in the statement of financial activities (SOFA) on a receivable basis, when a transaction or other event results in an increase in the charity’s assets or a reduction in its liabilities and only when the charity has legal entitlement, the income is probable and can be measured reliably.

Income subject to terms and conditions, which must be met before the charity is entitled to the resources, is not recognised until the conditions have been met.

All income is accounted for gross, before deducting any related fees or costs.

The notes attached on pages 15 to 24 form an integral part of these accounts.

Carlton Playgroup Limited

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2020

Policies relating to expenditure on goods and services provided to the charity

Recognition of liabilities and expenditure

A liability, and the related expenditure is recognised when a legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of a past event, and when it is more likely than not that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and when the amount of obligation can be measured and reliably estimated.

Liabilities arising from future funding commitments and constructive obligations, including performance related grants, where the timing or the amount of future expenditure required to settle the obligation are uncertain, give rise to a provision in the accounts, which is reviewed at the accounting year end. The provision is increased to reflect any increases in liabilities, is decreased by the utilisation of any provision within the period and reversed if any provision is no longer required. These movements are charged or credited to the respective funds and activities to which the provision relates.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are measured at their original cost value, or subsequent revaluation, or if donated, as described above. Cost value includes all costs expended in bringing the asset into its intended working condition.

Depreciation has been provided at the following rates in order to write off the assets to their anticipated residual value over estimated useful lives.

Leasehold premises 10% straight line

A regular annual review of the likelihood of asset impairment is undertaken.

Debtors

Debtors are measured at their recoverable amounts at the balance sheet date.

Creditors and provisions

Liabilities are amounts due to creditors and any provision made as a result of an obligation to transfer economic benefits, usually in the form of a cash payment, to a third party. Liabilities must be measured at their settlement amount except for certain types of financial liabilities. A liability is recognised for the amount that the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as an advance payment for goods or services it must provide.

A provision is only recognised when:

• There is present obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event,

• It is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and

• The amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Fund Accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity.

2. Liability to taxation

The trustees consider that the Charity satisfies the tests set out in Paragraph 1, Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 for UK Corporation Tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3, Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively on the specific charitable objects of the Charity and for no other purpose. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the Charity and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.
