Summary for the Accounting Period
We have had another reasonable year in terms of income generation, However need to push the café to reach its full potential, we are now opening it 7 days a week and hopefully that will reflect in next years accounts. We have several new bookings hoping to start sometime after April we are working towards to filling all available slots.
The company’s policy on reserves:
We are looking to build up reserves of one year’s full running costs.
Responsibilities of the directors:
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company at the end of the year and of the surplus or deficiency for the year then ended.
In preparing those financial statements, the directors are required to: select suitable accounting policies, as described on page 7, and then apply them on a consistent basis, making judgements and estimates that are prudent and reasonable. The directors must also 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 proper accounting records which 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. The directors are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud or other irregularities.
Small company provision:
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions for small companies under Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.
The directors declare that they have approved the directors’ report above.

Independent examiners report to the trustees and directors of Acacia Centre Limited for the year ended 31[st] March, 2024
I report on the accounts of the charity, which are set out on pages 5 to 8.
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(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
state 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 Commission. 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 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 examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
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 2011 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the statement of recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities
have not been met; or
- to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
