Dear Sirs
The following representations are made on the basis of enquiries of management and staff with relevant knowledge and experience such as we consider necessary in connection with your independent examination of the club’s financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2022. These enquiries have included inspection of supporting documentation where appropriate and are sufficient to satisfy ourselves that we can make each of the following representations. All representations are made to the best of our knowledge and belief.
General
-
1 We acknowledge that the work performed by you is substantially less in scope than an audit performed in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) and that you do not express an audit opinion.
-
2 We confirm that the club was entitled to exemption under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 the requirement to have its financial statements for the financial year ended 30 September 2022 audited.
-
3 We have fulfilled our responsibilities as trustees as set out in the terms of your engagement, under the Charities Act 2011 for preparing financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view and for making accurate representations to you.
-
4 All the transactions undertaken by the club have been properly reflected and recorded in the accounting records.
-
5 All the accounting records have been made available to you for the purpose of your independent examination. We have provided you with unrestricted access to all appropriate persons within the club and with all other records and related information requested, including minutes of all management and trustee meetings and correspondence with The Charity Commission.
-
6 The financial statements are free of material misstatements, including omissions.
Assets and liabilities
-
7 The club has satisfactory title to all assets and there are no liens or encumbrances on the club’s assets, except for those that are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. In particular we confirm that the club owns the building at Gordon Promenade which has a fair value of £203,348.
-
8 All actual liabilities, contingent liabilities and guarantees given to third parties have been recorded or disclosed as appropriate.
-
9 As at 30 September 2022, the club did not hold any bank accounts or cash balances aside from those included within the financial statements, as detailed below;
-
Santander - £121,319.40
-
Barclays - £14,413.03
-
Cash - £Nil
-
10 We can confirm that the club held stock valued at £8,332 as at 30 September 2022.
-
11 We confirm that the club has ownership of the various boats, rowing machines and associated equipment included within the accounts at a total fair value of £125,223.
-
12 We have no plans or intentions that may materially alter the carrying value and where relevant the fair value measurements or classification of assets and liabilities reflected in the financial statements.
Accounting estimates
- 13 Significant assumptions used by us in making accounting estimates, including those measured at fair value, are reasonable.
Legal claims
- 14 We have disclosed to you all claims in connection with litigation that have been, or are expected to be, received and such matters, as appropriate, have been properly accounted for, and disclosed in, the financial statements.
Laws and regulations
- 15 We have disclosed to you all known instances of non-compliance or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations whose effects should be considered when preparing the financial statements.
Related parties
- 16 Related party relationships and transactions have been appropriately accounted for and disclosed in the financial statements. We have disclosed to you all relevant information concerning such relationships and transactions and are not aware of any other matters which require disclosure in order to comply with legislative and accounting standards requirements.
Subsequent events
- 17 All events subsequent to the date of the financial statements which require adjustment or disclosure have been properly accounted for and disclosed.
Going concern
- 18 We believe that the club’s financial statements should be prepared on a going concern basis on the grounds that current and future sources of funding or support will be more than adequate for the club’s needs. We have considered a period of twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements. We believe that no further disclosures relating to the club’s ability to continue as a going concern need to be made in the financial statements.
Grants and donations
- 19 All grants, donations and other income, the receipt of which is subject to specific terms or conditions, have been notified to you. There have been no breaches of terms or conditions in the application of such income.
Yours faithfully
.............................................................................................................................. Signed on behalf of the board of trustees
