A WORD FROM THE CHAIR

Welcome to the Annual Report for the Slough Integration Services. Having been a trustee since 2017 I am pleased to have continued in the role of Chair of Trustees. This year has been excellent for placing training and placing volunteers.

The year started positively with a small grant from Local Slough Council to enable the organisation apply for further funds to sustain the services provided for local people.

Trustees, Staff and volunteers worked extensively to raise funds and apply for grants.

I would like to thank all my fellow trustees for their support and commitment throughout the past year.

Mrs Ifrah Mohamed Chair of Trustees

Trustees' Responsibilities

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies herein and comply with the charity's governing document and applicable law. Law, applicable to unincorporated charities in England and Wales, require the Trustees to prepare statements for each financial year that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity, and of its financial activities during that year. In preparing these financial statements the Trustees are required to:

• Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

• Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

• Prepare financial statements on an ongoing concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which 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 currently in force. The Trustees have the general responsibility for safeguarding the charity's assets and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and breaches of law and regulations.

Charity Administration

The administration and secretarial duties of the charity are undertaken at the registered office to which all enquiries should be made.

Risk Management & Financial Controls

A review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed has been carried out and systems are in place to mitigate those risks. External risks to source funding have led to the development of a strategic/business plan that will encourage the future diversity of the funding streams. Internal risks are minimised by the implementation of financial controls and procedures that are reviewed on an annual basis. The 2017/18 review did not highlight any issues.

Auditor(s) / Independent Examiner

The Trustees at its Annual General Meeting will propose a resolution for the appointment or reappointment of Auditor(s) or Independent Examiner.

Auditor / Independent Examiner’s Awareness

So far as the Trustees are aware, there is no relevant information of which the independent examiner is unaware, and they have taken all reasonable steps to make themselves aware of any relevant information and to establish that the independent examiner is aware of that information.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE SLOUGH INTEGRATION SERVICES

I have examined the financial statements of the Slough Integration Services for the year ended 31[st] March 2019, which comprise the statement of Financial Activities, the Balance sheet and the related notes. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable with the law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and its trustees as a body, for my examination work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.

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 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011(the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. I am qualified to undertake such examination by being a qualified certified member of the Certified Public Accountants Association. It is my responsibility to:

• Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act

• To follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act

• To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. 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 no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the next statement.

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 130 of the 2011 Act and

• To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act, have not been met

• The accounts have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

8

Matters on which I am required to report by exception

I have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you, if in our opinion:

• The information given in the trustees’ report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements, or

• Sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or

• The financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns, or

• I have not received all the information and explanations I require for my examination.
