## **Independent Examiner’s report to the Trustees of Carterton Family Centre** 

I report on the accounts of the Charity for the period ended 31[st] March 2021 which are set out below. 

## **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 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the 1993 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

## It is my responsibility to: 

- a) Examine the accounts (under section 43(7)(b) of the Act. 

- b) To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 43(7)(b) of the Act. 

- c) 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 Commissioners. 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 which would be required in an audit and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts. 

## **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 of a) to keep proper accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the 1993 Act and b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the requirements of the Act, have not been met. 

2. To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **Notes to the financial statements** 

## **For the period ending 31[st] March 2021** 

## **1. Accounting policies** 

## **a. Basis of accounting.** 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historic cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16[th] July 2014 and the Charities Act 2011. The trust constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102. 

## **b. Going concern.** 

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Trust’s ability to continue as a going concern. 

## **c. Change of accounting policy.** 

The previous year’s accounts were prepared on a receipts and payments basis. Due to the level of income received the current accounts has been prepared on an income and expenditure accrual basis. 

## **d. Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Restricted funds are subject to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal. 

## **e. Incoming resources** 

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: 

Voluntary income is received by way of grants, donations and gifts and is included in full in the Statement of financial Activities when receivable. Grants, where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes entitled to the grant. Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified. The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included in these accounts. 

Investment income is included when receivable. 

Income resources from charitable trading activity are accounted for when earned.

Carterton Family Centre Charity number: 1175596 

## **f. Resources expended** 

Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates: 

Costs of generating funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income and the costs of trading for fundraising purposes. 

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 include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include accountancy and legal fees. All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the SoFA on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resources. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly, others are apportioned on an appropriate basis.

Voluntary income is received by way of grants, donations and gifts and is included in full in the Statement of financial Activities when receivable. Grants, where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes entitled to the grant.

Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include accountancy and legal fees.
