TRUSTEES REPORT
For the period ended 28 February 2023
Trustees’ responsibilities
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 our responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act;
-
follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145 (5)(b) of the Charities Act); and
-
state whether particular matters have come to our attention
Risk Management
The trustees review the major risks the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that the transfer of operations to a CIO combined with an annual review of the controls over key financial systems continues to provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The Trustees agreed, at a committee meeting, held on the 2[nd] October 2023, to hold a minimum of £20,000,00 in CIO savings account held at HSBC as further Risk Management.
Governance risks and significant events
Whilst there were no enforced closures during the year, the focus remained on the safety and wellbeing of staff, children and families whilst Covid-19 continued. However, Covid-19 has not had a significant impact on the finances of the pre-school in the period since the year end.
The pre-school continues to flourish under the new manager and deputy manager appointed in late 2020.
In order to ensure that the board of trustees best represent the children who currently attend the setting, a new Chairperson was appointed, with one further appointment to be confirmed once DBS approval has been obtained, and one resignation after the end of the financial year.
Independent Examiner
A resolution to reappoint Anthony Matthews as Independent Examiner to the CIO was approved by the trustees meeting held on the 2[nd] October 2023.
This report was approved by the trustees in a committee meeting held on Monday 2[nd] October 2023 and signed on their behalf.
Anthony Ackerman
Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Haxey Pre School CIO
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Haxey Pre School CIO (the Trust) for the year ended 28 February 2023.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust, 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 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:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records.
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.
