REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER

## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF BARTLEY REDS FOOTBALL CLUB (charitable incorporated organisation)**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30 June 2022 which are set out on pages 5 to 8.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity’s trustees 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 charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 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**
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:
- accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity 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 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.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022

## **Basis of preparation**

Bartley Reds Football Club meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
## **Going concern**
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist, and they have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to finance its operation in the foreseeable future.
## **Income recognition**
Incoming resources are accounted for when receivable.
## **Charitable expenditure**
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, when this can be measured reliably.
## **Fund accounting**
The Charity’s only fund is unrestricted, which means it is available to spend on its activities.
## **Taxation**
