## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS** 

## **1 Basis of preparation of financial statements** 

The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn. 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 and Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and Charities Act 2011. 

Evergreen Care UK constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 

## **2 Income** 

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. 

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. 

Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable. 

## **3 Fixed Assets** 

Evergreen Care UK has not acquired any item of any property, furniture or equipment, etc. that exceeds the threshold value of £1,000. Consequently Evergreen is not currently required to maintain a Fixed Asset Register. 

## **4 Trustees Remuneration and Expenses** 

No Trustee received any remuneration during the year. 

## **5 Investments** 

The charity does not hold any investments in the name of Evergreen Care UK other than a Metro bank accounts were opened in September 2019.

## **Debtors Control Account** 

Evergreen Care UK firmly remains a Not For Profit' Organisation. Consequently, any income it receives from Clients, in regard of its services is there to cover the administrative costs to provide such services. However, all Clients pay for the charity's Home Support, Gardening and Handyman Services in arrears, which means that at any moment in time the charity is waiting to receive monies owed. Consequently, this charity utilises the 'Debtors Control Account' facility within the electronic accounting software to manage and monitor any outstanding debt. 

## **7 Liabilities and provisions** 

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet 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. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised within interest payable and similar charges. 

## **8 Restricted Funds** 

Restricted funds are reserves of money that can only be used for specific purposes.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF EVERGREEN CARE UK** 

We report to the charity Trustees on our examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024. 

This report is made solely to the charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's Trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's Trustees as a body, for our work or for this report. 

## **RESPONSIBILITIES AND BASIS OF REPORT** 

As the Trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the req('the 2011 Act'). 

We report in respect of our examination of the charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out our examination we have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT** 

Since the charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. We confirm that we are qualified to undertake the examination because we are a member of the association of Accounting Technicians in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. 

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared the accounts in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn. 

We understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015. 

We have completed our examination. We can confirm that no matters have come to our attention in connection with the examination giving us cause to believe that in any material respect: 

- 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 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. 

We 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 other to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
