This has resulted in regular inflow of funds to maintain charity activity. We have managed to maintain healthy reserves and therefore, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue its operational existence for the period to December 2025. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. ## **Reserves policy** The Trustees regard the equivalent of three months operational expenses as an appropriate level of reserves. The present level of funding is considered adequate by the trustees to run the activities of the charity. 5 **Cambourne Crescent Annual Report** ## _**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS**_ ## **Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Cambourne Crescent** I report on the accounts of the Society for the year ended 31 December 2024, which are set out on pages 8 to 11. ## **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 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: - examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, - to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of independent examiner’s statement** My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 the 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 statement below. 6 **Cambourne Crescent Annual Report** ## **Independent examiner's statement** In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention 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 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.
