## **Notes to the Accounts** 

1. The accounts are prepared on a receipts and payments basis and no account has been taken of accrued/ prepaid income or expenditure 

## **Independent Examiners Report to the Trustees of Stanbridge Out of School Club** 

## **Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner** 

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the charities act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

|.|examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act|
|---|---|
|.|to follow the procedures laid down in the general Direction|
|.|given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the|
|.|Charities Act) and|
|.|to state whether particular matters have come to my attention|



## **Basis of Independent Examiners Statement** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with general 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 these records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or 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 in audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair' view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below, 

## **Independent Examiners Statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act 

to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the 

with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act 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.

**Financial Review** 


**----- Start of picture text -----**<br>
In 2021/22 we finished the year with<br>a small surplus, a very good result<br>coming out of two years of COVID,<br>especially compared to the small<br>losses we made in both the previous<br>financial years.<br>Take-up of the club has increased,<br>and although costs have also<br>increased, we have been able to<br>increase our fee income significantly<br>on the last financial year.<br>Finances remain healthy despite<br>investment in new equipment (eg<br>staff laptops, games for the<br>children), as well as higher costs on<br>staff due to recruitment, wage<br>increases and more qualified/higher<br>paid staff on the books.<br>Review of the charity’s<br>financial position at the  Para 1.21<br>end of the period Session prices were increased to<br>ensure the organisation is able to<br>cover its costs and retain suitably<br>qualified staff while offering a good<br>service. Session prices had remained<br>the same for many years and are still<br>lower than other similar local<br>services.<br>Ad hoc session prices saw a higher<br>increase than regular bookings, to<br>encourage parents to use this option<br>for emergencies only, as this makes<br>it easier for the Club to ensure<br>appropriate staffing levels for each<br>session.<br>We invested in a card reader for<br>parents using ad hoc sessions to<br>track these payments and reduce the<br>admin burden.<br>We have an informal policy to keep 3<br>months’ running costs eg £20,000-<br>£25,000 in reserve (but in the same<br>bank account) to enable the club to<br>continue running through times<br>where there is less demand (ie fewer<br>Statement explaining the  pupils) or for emergencies such as<br>policy for holding reserves  Para 1.22 the COVID-19 pandemic.
