VIOLET FOUNDATION produces an annual plan for delivery against its objectives. This plan sets out the targets for the year and is then broken down to a work plan. VIOLET FOUNDATION has developed a strategy, which specifies how it will deliver the key programmes of work. The strategy also identifies targets and performance indicators.

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 1 September 2022**
## **GOVERNANCE AND INTERNAL CONTROL**
A Board of Trustees governs the Charity. New Trustees are selected by the Board of Trustees and are subject to re-election every five years. At 1 September 2022, the Board had a membership of Three people.
The Board meets three times a year to agree key policy decisions, set the strategy for the charity and oversee its performance. At present the Board has committee members who are responsible for the day-to-day activities of the charity. None of the committee members is being remunerated.
All Trustees receive the handbook for Trustees provided through the Charity Commission. Each Trustee will have an induction programme by other Trustees and receive an information pack on the Charity and its finances. Beyond this the Charity follows the code of practice for governance produced by the Governance Hub.
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which comply with the Charities Act 1993 as amended
The systems of internal control are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance against material misstatement or loss.
They include:
- A strategic plan and annual budget approved by the Trustees;
- regular consideration by the Trustees of financial results, in particular variance from budget; and
- Delegation of authority and segregation of duties.

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES IN RESPECT OF THE TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT AND THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year in accordance with UK Accounting Standards and applicable law (UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The financial statements are required by law to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the excess of income over expenditure for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in its activities.

## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of VIOLET FOUNDATION**
We report on the projected accounts of the Trust for the year ended 1 September 2022, which are set out on pages 9 to 13.
## **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 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the 1993 Act)) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is our responsibility to:
- examine the accounts (under section 43(3)(a) of the 1993 Act);
- to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 43(7)(b) of the 1993 Act); and
- To state whether particular matters have come to our attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner’s report**
Our 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 we do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention:
(1) Which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements,
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the 1993 Act; and
- To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act as amended.
Have not been met; or
(2) To which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

**VIOLET FOUNDATION NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 1 September 2022**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **Basis of preparation**
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (2005), the Charity Act 1993 and applicable UK accounting standards.
## **Cash flow statement**
Under FRS 1 the Charity is exempt from the requirement to prepare a cash flow statement on the grounds that the charity is below the threshold specified in Appendix 2 of the FRS1.
## **Fund accounting**
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in Note 2.
Investment income and gains are allocated to the appropriate fund.
## **Incoming resources**
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the Charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The grant income where related to performance and specific deliverables are accounted for as the Charity earns the right to consideration by its performance. Where income is received in advance, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors. Where entitlement occurs before income being received, the income is accrued.
## **Resources expended**
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings, they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Premises overheads have been allocated on a floor basis and other overheads have been allocated on the basis of the head count.
Community project costs are those costs incurred directly in support of the objects of the Charity. The community project cost includes other support costs incurred in support of the objects of the Charity. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with governance arrangement of the Charity, which relate to the general running of the Charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements. The basis of allocation for support costs and governance costs has been explained in Note 3.
