Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the surplus or deficit of the company for that period. In preparing the financial statements the directors are required to: - select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; - make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. ## **Small Company Rules** This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions relating to companies subject to the small companies regime within Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006. On behalf of the board Ms Linnete Ogilvie Director 25th March 2025 Page 2 ## **Friends Fighting Cancer Ltd Accountant's Report For The Year Ended 30 June 2024** In order to assist you to fulfil your duties under the Companies Act 2006, we have prepared for your approval the financial statements of Friends Fighting Cancer Ltd for the year ended year which comprise the Income and Expenditure Account, the Balance Sheet, and the related notes from the company's accounting records and from information and explanations you have given us. As a practising member firm of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants, we are subject to its ethical and other professional requirements which are detailed at http://www.cimaglobal.com. This report is made solely to the directors of Friends Fighting Cancer Ltd in accordance with our terms of engagement. Our work has been undertaken solely to prepare for your approval the financial statements of Friends Fighting Cancer Ltd and state those matters that we have agreed to state to the directors of Friends Fighting Cancer Ltd in this report in accordance with the requirements of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants as detailed at http://www.cimaglobal.com. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and its director for our work or for this report. It is your duty to ensure that Friends Fighting Cancer Ltd has kept adequate accounting records and to prepare statutory financial statements that give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit of Friends Fighting Cancer Ltd. You consider that Friends Fighting Cancer Ltd is exempt from the statutory audit requirement for the year. We have not been instructed to carry out an audit or a review of the financial statements of Friends Fighting Cancer Ltd. For this reason, we have not verified the accuracy or completeness of the accounting records or information and explanations you have given to us and we do not, therefore, express any opinion on the statutory financial statements.
