Amicii Dog Rescue
Trustees' Report
The trustees present the annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2021.
Objectives and activities
Objects and aims
The charitable purposes as set out in the governing document are:
To promote humane behaviour towards dogs in Romania by providing appropriate care, protection, treatment and security for dogs which are in need of care and attention by reason of sickness, maltreatment, poor circumstances or ill-usage;
To educate the public in matters pertaining to dog welfare in general and the prevention of cruelty and suffering among dogs;
To actively seek new homes for rescued animals.
Public benefit
The main activities undertaken by the charity in furtherance of its charitable purposes include:
-
transporting dogs to the UK and rehoming dogs.
-
providing veterinary care to the dogs.
-
providing grants for food and general welfare services in Romania.
-
providing kennels for dogs returned to charity.
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
Grant making policies
In furtherance of our charitable purposes, we provide ongoing financial support by way of monthly grant payments to our sister NGO (non-government organisation) in Romania, Asociatia Amicii Nostri (Turda). The NGO is registered with the authorities in Romania and publishes its annual accounts there. Monthly grant payments are a combination of restricted and unrestricted funds.
Financial review
Policy on reserves
As the charity does not have ongoing commitments to premises and staff costs, the need for reserves is only to the extent that it allows the charity to respond to charitable needs and the approach has been to appeal for donor support when those needs arise. The trustees will give further consideration to the development of a formal policy as the organisation becomes established.
Structure, governance and management
Nature of governing document
The charity was established as a charitable incorporated organisation and registered with the Charity Commission with effect from 13 September 2016. Prior to this date the organisation had been operating informally and therefore on registration any accumulated funds were transferred by way of donation to the formally registered charity.
Recruitment and appointment of trustees
The trustees are appointed in accordance with the terms of the constitution and must be agreed to by the other current trustees. The only appointment provision is that the role is a voluntary role and trustees must be prepared to commit 10 hours per week to activities that support the charity. We expect a minimum two-year commitment to the charity from all trustees.
Organisational structure
The trustees are each allocated particular roles to facilitate the day-to-day operations. Decisions are made by the trustees at regular trustee meetings.

Amicii Dog Rescue
Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.
The law applicable to charities 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 charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity 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;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable 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 business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the constitution. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Amicii Dog Rescue
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2021 which are set out on pages 6 to 15.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
As the charity’s trustees of Amicii Dog Rescue 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 Amicii Dog Rescue's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner’s statement – matter of concern identified
Since Amicii Dog Rescue's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of ICAEW, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I have not identified any serious matters of concern. There were some transactions reviewed during our sampling that required explanation via email trails over physical paperwork, though this is mostly due to the nature of the of transactions being undertaken with individuals, rather than a business.
I confirm that no other matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of Amicii Dog Rescue as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting 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 confirm that there are no other matters to which your attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 September 2021
1 Accounting policies
General information
Amicii Dog Rescue is a charitable incorporated organisation limited by guarantee and registered with the Charity Commission in England and Wales on 13 September 2016. Its principal address is 68 Main Road, Kempsey, Worcestershire, WR5 3JY.
Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
Basis of preparation
Amicii Dog Rescue meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement
The charity opted to early adopt Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and have therefore not included a cash flow statement in these financial statements.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date of approval of the financial statements.
Income and endowments
Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Donations and legacies
Donations and legacies are recognised on a receivable basis when receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured.
Expenditure
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
Raising funds
These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.

Amicii Dog Rescue
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 September 2021
Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Governance costs
These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustee’s meetings and reimbursed expenses.
Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
Tangible fixed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £0.00 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
Asset class Depreciation method and rate Office equipment 33% straight line
Trade debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Trade creditors
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Amicii Dog Rescue
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 September 2021
Borrowings
Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the Statement of Financial Activities over the period of the relevant borrowing.
Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the charity has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.
Fund structure
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustee’s discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.

Restricted funds for the charity represent amounts associated with it's support for a dog rescue shelter in Transylvania, Western Romania. The shelter cares for up to 200 dogs at any one time and is run by Asociatia Amicci Nostri (AAN), a registered NGO.
In the current year, amounts received for AAN are equal to the amounts transferred. These excess funds brought forward are carried forward. In the comparative year, amounts transferred to AAN were less than amounts received with additional amounts carried forward.
In July 2018, an amount of £3,000 was donated to the charity and lent to AAN with an agreement that it would be repaid at a time of mutual agreement, with no interest due. The loan was fully repaid during the current accounting year and is included in other costs.
The charity opted to take advantage of the COVID-19 related, government backed, Bounce Back Loan (BBL) in May 2020 and received £10,000. While this amount was to assist with any unforeseen cash flow issues that the company believed it was prudent to prepare for, the expectation is that the loan will be repaid earlier than the original terms of the loan. The £10,000 balance was not treated as income for the charity and the outstanding of £7,334 (2021: £9,333), resides in creditors at year end.

Amicii Dog Rescue
Trustees' Report
The trustees present the annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2021.
Objectives and activities
Objects and aims
The charitable purposes as set out in the governing document are:
To promote humane behaviour towards dogs in Romania by providing appropriate care, protection, treatment and security for dogs which are in need of care and attention by reason of sickness, maltreatment, poor circumstances or ill-usage;
To educate the public in matters pertaining to dog welfare in general and the prevention of cruelty and suffering among dogs;
To actively seek new homes for rescued animals.
Public benefit
The main activities undertaken by the charity in furtherance of its charitable purposes include:
-
transporting dogs to the UK and rehoming dogs.
-
providing veterinary care to the dogs.
-
providing grants for food and general welfare services in Romania.
-
providing kennels for dogs returned to charity.
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
Grant making policies
In furtherance of our charitable purposes, we provide ongoing financial support by way of monthly grant payments to our sister NGO (non-government organisation) in Romania, Asociatia Amicii Nostri (Turda). The NGO is registered with the authorities in Romania and publishes its annual accounts there. Monthly grant payments are a combination of restricted and unrestricted funds.
Financial review
Policy on reserves
As the charity does not have ongoing commitments to premises and staff costs, the need for reserves is only to the extent that it allows the charity to respond to charitable needs and the approach has been to appeal for donor support when those needs arise. The trustees will give further consideration to the development of a formal policy as the organisation becomes established.
Structure, governance and management
Nature of governing document
The charity was established as a charitable incorporated organisation and registered with the Charity Commission with effect from 13 September 2016. Prior to this date the organisation had been operating informally and therefore on registration any accumulated funds were transferred by way of donation to the formally registered charity.
Recruitment and appointment of trustees
The trustees are appointed in accordance with the terms of the constitution and must be agreed to by the other current trustees. The only appointment provision is that the role is a voluntary role and trustees must be prepared to commit 10 hours per week to activities that support the charity. We expect a minimum two-year commitment to the charity from all trustees.
Organisational structure
The trustees are each allocated particular roles to facilitate the day-to-day operations. Decisions are made by the trustees at regular trustee meetings.

Trustees' Report
Employee involvement
The charity has no paid staff and all activities undertaken by the charity are fulfilled by volunteers. Our volunteers undertake a wide range of activities on our behalf including running our social media pages, rehoming dogs, and fundraising and receive reimbursement of expenses.

Amicii Dog Rescue
Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.
The law applicable to charities 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 charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity 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;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable 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 business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the constitution. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Amicii Dog Rescue
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2021 which are set out on pages 6 to 15.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
As the charity’s trustees of Amicii Dog Rescue 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 Amicii Dog Rescue's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner’s statement – matter of concern identified
Since Amicii Dog Rescue's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of ICAEW, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I have not identified any serious matters of concern. There were some transactions reviewed during our sampling that required explanation via email trails over physical paperwork, though this is mostly due to the nature of the of transactions being undertaken with individuals, rather than a business.
I confirm that no other matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of Amicii Dog Rescue as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting 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 confirm that there are no other matters to which your attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 September 2021
1 Accounting policies
General information
Amicii Dog Rescue is a charitable incorporated organisation limited by guarantee and registered with the Charity Commission in England and Wales on 13 September 2016. Its principal address is 68 Main Road, Kempsey, Worcestershire, WR5 3JY.
Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
Basis of preparation
Amicii Dog Rescue meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement
The charity opted to early adopt Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and have therefore not included a cash flow statement in these financial statements.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date of approval of the financial statements.
Income and endowments
Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Donations and legacies
Donations and legacies are recognised on a receivable basis when receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured.
Expenditure
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
Raising funds
These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.

Amicii Dog Rescue
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 September 2021
Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Governance costs
These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustee’s meetings and reimbursed expenses.
Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
Tangible fixed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £0.00 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
Asset class Depreciation method and rate Office equipment 33% straight line
Trade debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Trade creditors
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Amicii Dog Rescue
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 September 2021
Borrowings
Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the Statement of Financial Activities over the period of the relevant borrowing.
Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the charity has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.
Fund structure
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustee’s discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.

Restricted funds for the charity represent amounts associated with it's support for a dog rescue shelter in Transylvania, Western Romania. The shelter cares for up to 200 dogs at any one time and is run by Asociatia Amicci Nostri (AAN), a registered NGO.
In the current year, amounts received for AAN are equal to the amounts transferred. These excess funds brought forward are carried forward. In the comparative year, amounts transferred to AAN were less than amounts received with additional amounts carried forward.
In July 2018, an amount of £3,000 was donated to the charity and lent to AAN with an agreement that it would be repaid at a time of mutual agreement, with no interest due. The loan was fully repaid during the current accounting year and is included in other costs.
The charity opted to take advantage of the COVID-19 related, government backed, Bounce Back Loan (BBL) in May 2020 and received £10,000. While this amount was to assist with any unforeseen cash flow issues that the company believed it was prudent to prepare for, the expectation is that the loan will be repaid earlier than the original terms of the loan. The £10,000 balance was not treated as income for the charity and the outstanding of £7,334 (2021: £9,333), resides in creditors at year end.
