**TIP TOP MUSICALS LTD DIRECTORS' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020** 

## **Structure & Governance** 

## **Governing document** 

Tip Top Musicals Ltd is a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 12th November 2015 

## **Objects** 

The object of the charity is to promote the advancement and improvement of general education in relation to all aspects of the art of drama, music and the development of public appreciation of such art. 

## **Constitution** 

The company is a company limited by guarantee and not having a share capital. Each member gives a guarantee to contribute a sum not exceeding £1 to the company should it be wound up. At 31 August 2020 there were 10 members. 

## **Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities** 

The trustees (who are also directors of Sheffield Theatres Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report (including the Strategic Report) and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP (FRS 102); 

- 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; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to 

presume that the charitable company will continue in operation. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commissioners.

It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as members of the Theatre 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 view given by the accounts. 

## Independent Examiner's 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 41 of the Act; and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act. 

2) To which in my opinion attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
