## **Note 2                           Accounting policies** 

|**Recognition of income**|These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:|
|---|---|
|| the charity becomes entitled to the resources;|
||·       it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and|
|| the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.|
||There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or|
|**Offsetting**|permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.|
||Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income|
|**Grants and donations**|recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP).|
|**Legacies**|Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has|
||been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in|
||the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the|
||charity or have been met.|
||Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the|
|**Tax reclaims on**|donor.  Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift|
|**donations and gifts**|and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or|
||the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.|
|**Support costs**|The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs.|
|**Volunteer help**|The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described<br>in the trustees’ annual report.|
|**Income from interest,**|This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can|
|**royalties and dividends**|be measured reliably.|
|**Liability recognition**|Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or|
||constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of|
||the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.|
|**Governance  and support**<br>**costs**|Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support.<br>Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its<br>compliance with regulation and good practice.|
|**Creditors**|The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade<br>discounts|
||A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently|
|**Provisions for liabilities**|measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the|
||reporting date|
|**Basic financial**<br>**instruments**|The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per<br>paragraph 10.7 FRS102 SORP.  Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17<br>to 11.19, FRS102 SORP.|



**Tangible fixed assets for** These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year and cost at least £250. **use by charity**

The Trust owns eight properties which are rented out to tenants who meet the necessary criteria laid down by the objects of the Trust. No value has been attributed to the properties in the financial statements as records relating to their original cost are no longer available. The Trustees are of the view that the cost of obtaining a professional valuation of the properties could not be justified.

**Section A                        Independent Examiner’s Report** 

**Report to the trustees/** Rotary Club of Southampton Solent Trust Fund **members of On accounts for the year** 30 June 2023 **Charity no** 1174544 **ended (if any) Set out on pages** 5 to 14 I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 30/06/2023. **Responsibilities and** As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the **basis of report** accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’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** I have completed my examination.  I confirm that no material matters have **examiner's statement** come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or 

- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or 

- the accounts did 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.
