## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Reserves policy**
The Men and Boys Coalition is keen to secure its long-term viability and become financially sustainable so that it can benefit greater numbers of men and boys. In order to be able to provide reliable services over the longer term, remain innovative and absorb setbacks, maximize opportunities and effectively reserve against future uncertainties, The Men and Boys Coalition will build up an appropriate level of funds as reserves for:
1. Unforeseen Emergencies û the risk of this or other unexpected need for funds, e.g., replacement of IT or other equipment or an unexpected cost such as legal or professional costs
2. Operational Core Costs - to pay the core for up to 3 months and for unforeseen day to-day operational costs
3. Low Income - funds might be needed to maintain working capital or to give the board time to take action if income falls below expectations, e.g., if a grant is not being renewed or to repay any grant monies to a funder
4. Budget Deficits - the need to fund short-term deficits in a cash budget, e.g., money that may need to be spent before a major grant is received
5. Closure of Business costs incurred in the event that the charity is wound down including meeting redundancy costs, loans, hire agreements and associated legal and accountancy expenses and to repay in full any monies owing to other parties.
The closing funds of £32,200, (2021; £14,821) are all restricted and represent approximately 22 months (2021; 11 months) of operations. It should be noted that grants are often made to cover more than a 12 month period. The Financial Reserves Policy aims to hold free reserves to adequately cover at least 12 months operating costs taking into account:
1. risks associated with each stream of income and expenditure being different from that budgeted
2. planned activity level
3. commitments of the organisation
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document**
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
## **Organisational structure**
The Board of Trustees formally meet at least four times per year. At the Annual General Meeting the three officer posts are elected Chair, Secretary and Treasurer. The Board of Trustees meet to oversee and agree areas of governance and strategy.
The Board of Trustees have been selected due to their expertise and experience in the different fields and activities that are aligned to the Objects and Principal Activities of the CIO.
The Board of trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Men and Boys Coalition
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Men and Boys Coalition ('the Company')**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2022.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
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 charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 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 matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
- accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
- the accounts do not accord with those records; or
- the accounts do 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2022
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **Basis of preparing the financial statements**
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and 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)(Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
## **Going concern**
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The Trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
## **Donations and grants and other income**
All monetary donations and gifts are included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable, provided that there are no donor-imposed restrictions as to the timing of the related expenditure, in which case recognition is deferred until the pre-condition has been met.
## **Expenditure**
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been included under expense categories that aggregate all costs for allocation to activities. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular activities, they have been allocated based upon pro rata to staff full time equivalents. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
## **Creditors**
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised at the transaction price.
## **Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and deposits.
## **Taxation**
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
## **Fund accounting**
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and the use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
