INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE TROUTSDALE CHARITABLE TRUST
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the The Troutsdale Charitable Trust (the Trust) for the year ended 5 April 2021.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts did not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity's trustees those matters I are required to state to them in an independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for my work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 5 April 2021
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. Donations and gifts are recognised when receivable at fair value.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost 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.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
Allocation and apportionment of costs
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the trust but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include finance and governance costs which support the trust's activities.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis
The trustees have prepared the accounts on a going concern basis on the grounds that the trust has a healthy balance sheet and that anticipated levels of income and expenditure will be sufficient together with the level of reserves held for the trust to be able to continue as a going concern.
Financial instruments
The trust only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities such as trade, other debtors and creditors.The trust also holds investments in unlisted shares which are measured at open market value at each year end with reference to independent valuations periodically performed.
Investments
Investments include shares held in an unlisted company and are stated at the trustees' best estimate of fair value when acquired and then subsequently revalued at each year end, based on independent valuation reports of open market value periodically prepared. Investments also include investment property being a beneficial interest in land included at the trustees' best estimate of open market value. The statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluations and disposals during the period.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions which affect reported income, expenses, assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Use of available information and application of judgement are inherent in the formation of estimates, together with past experience and expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results in the future could differ from such estimates.
Critical judgements in applying the company's policies
The trustees have used their judgement to assess the fair value of unlisted shares based on independent valuation reports prepared.
