Commentary on the model Trustees’ Annual Report and accounts: UNSTOPPABLE FOUNDATION UK
This example is for a charity preparing receipts and payments accounts.
The charity had no income and expenses during the financial year and is eligible for independent examination. As the charity is below the larger charity threshold it may also prepare a simple annual report (refer to CC15d Charity Reporting and Accounting: The essentials and the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008). An example report by the charity’s the independent examiner (see ‘CC32Independent Examination of Charity Accounts’ for further examples of examiner’s reports) is also included.
The trustees’ annual report CC16b pro forma
Trustees do not have to use the pro forma to write their annual report but the form includes all the information trustees must provide and gives an opportunity to provide further optional information if the trustees so wish.
The ‘ Summary of the main activities undertaken’ also includes confirmation that the trustees have had regard to our guidance on public benefit when planning the charity’s activities. Further information about is provided in a ‘Summary of the main achievements ’ Additional voluntary information is provided about the contribution made by volunteers, collaboration with other organization’s and details of the charity’s main policies and future plans. In addition, the report confirms that the trustees received no remuneration or other benefits from the charity.
The accounts CC16a pro forma (in original form as a separate excel document)
The accounts pro forma is suitable for comparatively straightforward accounts. Before using the pro forma please read the completion notes. We also recommend that a bank reconciliation is prepared to reconcile the closing balance at bank before completing the form. Also, charities with several restricted funds or more complex affairs may need to summaries their information before using the pro forma or alternatively use it as a tool to assist in the design of their own accounts.
