## **Independent examiner's report for the period ended 31 March 2021**
## _**Independent examiner's report to the trustees of ZayoHub foundation**_
I report on the financial statements of the charity for the period ended 31 March 2021 which are set out on pages 9 to 12.
This report is made solely to the charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.
## _**Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**_
The charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements, and they consider that an audit is not required for this period under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:

- follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act; and
- state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## _**Basis of independent examiner's report**_
My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeking explanations from you as 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 financial statements 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 matter has come to my attention, other than that disclosed below:
1. Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
- To keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Act; and
- To prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act
have not been met; or
2. To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

## **Notes to the financial statements for the period ending 31[st] March 2021**
## **1. Accounting policies**
## 1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements 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 for Smaller Entities published on 16 July 2014, the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective January 2015) and the Charities Act 2011 and applicable regulations.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and 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 Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities published on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
## 1.2 Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which 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.
## 1.3 Income
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.
## 1.4 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis inclusive of VAT. All expenses including support costs and governance costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure headings.
## 1.5 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.
## 1.6 Debtors
12
Other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount.
## 1.7 Cash at Bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
## 1.8 Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
## 1.9 Financial instruments
The charity only has financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value.
## **2. Income from donations and legacies**
One donation of £127,999 was received in the reporting period from the Vitol Foundation.
## **3. Costs of generating income**
No costs were incurred for fundraising.
## **4. Donations**
One expenditure was made in the reporting period, supporting ZayoHub Zambia with technical expertise for the development of a new Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Framework. The ZayoHub Foundation contracted and paid the consultant directly.
## **5. Governance costs**
No costs were incurred for governance. Trustees received no payment, and were not reimbursed for any costs incurred in executing their role as trustees.
## **6. Related party transactions**
There are no related party transactions during the period requiring disclosure.
