policy for holding reserves

Amount of reserves held Para 1.22 £0
Reasons for holding zero
reserves		 Para 1.22 At present charity expenditure is relatively
low and expected to be broadly consistent
year to year due to arrangements agreed

expected expenditure. Position regarding
reserves will be reconsidered at a later date
if this is no longer the case.

The above figures do not include any value for the notional cost of volunteers, who attend the hall during deliveries and who deal with ordering, stocktaking, bookkeeping and banking. The trustees are of the opinion that if such time were valued at a reasonable hourly rate, then the bar would always incur losses.

The Inland Revenue (FICO) has stated that the bar account results are not material for their purposes for the current or previous accounting periods and that no definitive written dispensation is necessary in this case.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the Accounts; you consider that the audit requirement of section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act) does not apply. It is my responsibility to state, on the basis of procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 43(7)(b) of the Act, whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 seeking explanations from you as 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 connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

have not been met; or

2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
