## **Financial Review**

## **Achievements and Performance of Trust**
It has been a trying time for many “third sector”/charity’s during the last year. Whilst we have had reduced opportunities to raise funds in face-to-face events, bag packing etc, we have managed to keep pace with and modestly increase our turnover on the previous year. Funders have been generous and expedited requests in a timely fashion at the height of the pandemic. We have ambitious plans for the future and look forward to a covid free existence. Onwards and upwards.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT**
## **Report to the Kayaks trustees of**
## **On accounts for 27 March 2021 Charity no 1158725 the year ended**
- **Respective** The trustees of the organisation are responsible for the preparation of
- **responsibilities of** accounts; they consider that an audit is not required for this year under **trustees and** section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 and that an Independent **examiner** 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 Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Act), and
- state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
- **Basis of** My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions
- **independent** given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review **examiner’s** of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the **statement** accounts presented with those 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 an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.
- **Independent** In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention: **examiner's** 1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material **statement** respect, the trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that:
- proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with section 41 of
- the Act); and
- accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and
- comply with the accounting requirements of the Act; or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
