| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 | See Appendix 1. |
| Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held |
Para 1.22 | All funds raised by FOSA are available for Requests for Funds. However, FOSA will retain a minimum of £2,000 in the bank account in order to buy supplies for the next event. This does not mean the £2,000 cannot be allocated to a particular request, but it does mean that the money will not be paid out until there are sufficient funds available over £2,000. FOSA generates funds from the events it holds and therefore it must have enough money to buy supplies (consumables) for these events. FOSA has no other ongoing running costs to consider. |

| I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31/07/2025. 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 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.
