There is a minimum of three and maximum of 10 trustees at any given time. The trustees have the power to co-opt up to three other members and agree to meet at least four times a year. 20 **FRIENDS ACTION NORTH EAST CIO ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** For the year ended 31 March 2021 Newly appointed trustees are provided with a Trustee pack giving an overview of the work of the charity, including its constitution and its finances. Should trustee training be required, this is arranged and along with any specific training needed for a particular role. ## Organisation The trustees administer the charity and the Project Managers are responsible for managing the work of the charity on a day-to-day basis. The trustees are aware that the major risk to the organisation is lack of funding. Each quarter the risk is assessed when budgets are compared to actual spend and reserves are reviewed on a yearly basis to ensure that there are sufficient funds available to cover three months running costs and any possible redundancy costs. ## Risk management The trustees have conducted a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks. Internal risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects and for ensuring the consistent quality of the delivery of all operational aspects of the charitable company. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they still meet the needs of the charity. ## **3. Trustees responsibilities in relation to the financial statement** The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the Financial Statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). The trustees are required to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure of the charity for the year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to: - select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; - observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; - make judgements that are reasonable and prudent; - state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; - prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. 21 **FRIENDS ACTION NORTH EAST CIO ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** For the year ended 31 March 2021 The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. Approved by the trustees on ………………….. and signed on their behalf by: 17/12/2021 Barbara Creed Treasurer 22 ## **FRIENDS ACTION NORTH EAST CIO** ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES** For the year ending 31 March 2021 I report on the financial statements of Friends Action North East CIO for the year ending 31 March 2021, which are set out on pages 24 to 35. ## **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. Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: - h examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, - h 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 - h 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. ## **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: - h the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or - h the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or - h 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.

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) – Charities SORP (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. Friends Action North East CIO meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. ## 2.2 **Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis** The charity reported total unrestricted funds at the year end of £51,374 and has already secured a significant amount of funding for the current year. The trustees are of the view that the immediate future of the charity for the next 12 to 18 months is secure and that on this basis the charity is a going concern. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In making their assessment the trustees have reviewed and considered relevant information, including their annual budget and future cash flows. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the trustees have revised their forecasts to take into account measures that they can take with the current resources available to mitigate the impact of the current adverse conditions. The trustees are of the view that the immediate future of the charity for the next 12 months is secure and that on this basis the charity is a going concern. ## 3 **Income** ## 3.1 **Recognition of income** Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the resources, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is more likely than not that the resources will be received and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability ## 3.2 **Offsetting** There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by FRS102 SORP or FRS102. ## 3.3 **Grants and donations** Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred. Income received in advance of the provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria of income recognition are met. 26 ## **FRIENDS ACTION NORTH EAST CIO** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** For the year ending 31 March 2021 ## 3.4 **Volunteer help** The value of volunteer help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees' annual report. ## 3.5 **Interest receivable** Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank. ## 3.6 **Income from membership subscriptions** Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in donations and legacies. Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as income from charitable activities. ## 3.7 **Investment gains and losses** This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year. ## 3.8 **Fund accounting** Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity's work or for specific projects being undertaken by the ## 4 **Expenditure and liabilities** ## 4.1 **Liability recognition** Liabilities are recognised when it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. ## 4.2 **Charitable activities** Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of training and other activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs. ## 4.3 **Governance and support costs** Support costs have been allocated between governance cost and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources. ## 4.4 **Irrecoverable VAT** Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred. 27 ## **FRIENDS ACTION NORTH EAST CIO** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** For the year ending 31 March 2021 ## 4.5 **Creditors** The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts. ## 4.6 **Provisions for liabilities** A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date. ## 5 **Assets** ## 5.1 **Tangible fixed assets for use by the charity** Individual fixed assets costing £500 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight line basis as follows: Computer and camera equipment Office furniture Straight line over four years Straight line over four years 28 ## **FRIENDS ACTION NORTH EAST CIO** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** For the year ending 31 March 2021 ## **Exceptional Transfer** - 6 **Transfer** |Unrestricted
