ST EDWARDS DEVELOPMENT PROJECT

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES ON THE PREPARATION OF THE STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF ST EDWARDS DEVELOPMENT PROJECT FOR THE PERIOD to 31st MARCH 2023

In order to assist you to fulfill your duties under the Charities Act 2011, we have prepared for your approval the financial statements of St Edwards Development Project for the period to 31st March 2021, set out on pages 7 to 11 from the charity's accounting records and from supporting information and explanations available.

It is the Trustees duty to ensure that St Edwards Development Project has kept adequate accounting records and to prepare statutory financial statements that give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and surplus/deficit of St Edwards Development Project. Trustees consider that St Edwards Development Project is exempt from the statutory audit requirement for the period and is only required to obtain an independent examiner's report.

Independent Examiners Statement

It is my responsibility to:

My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the organization and a comparison of the accounts presented within 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

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

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

I have not been instructed to carry out an audit or a review of the financial statements of St Edwards Development Project. For this reason, I have not verified the accuracy or completeness of the accounting records or information and explanations you have given to me and I do not, therefore, express any opinion on the statutory financial statements.

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

ST EDWARDS DEVELOPMENT PROJECT is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation.

1.1 Accounting convention

These accounts have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" ("FRS 102"), "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102, the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives unless the funds have been designated for other purposes.

1.4 Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity becomes entitled to the income and the amounts can be measured reliably.

Voluntary income and investment income are accounted for on a receivable basis.

1.5 Resources expended

Expenditure is included on an accruals basis.

Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is conveyed to the recipient except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.

1.6 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other shortterm liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
