## **CITY OF MANCHESTER AQUATICS SWIM TEAM (COMAST)** 

## **REPORT TO THE MEMBERS ON THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF CITY OF MANCHESTER AQUATICS SWIM TEAM (COMAST)** 

## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023 set out on pages 10 to 16. 

## **Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner** 

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”). 

The charity’s trustees consider an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the 2011 Act, and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility as independent examiner to: 

- ~ examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act 

- ~ follow the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act, and; 

- ~ to state whether particular matters have come to my attention 

## **Basis of Independent Examiners Report** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 of 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 I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts. 

## **Independent Examiners Statement** 

I have completed my examination for the year ended 31 March 2023. 

I can confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

- ~ accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act or 

- ~ the accounts do not accord with the accounting records to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act 

- ~ the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102)]. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. 

## **Independent Examiners Qualification** 

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination, being a Fellow Member of the Association of Accounting Technicians, which is one of the listed bodies.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 March 2023** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of accounting** 

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 applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) issued on 16 July 2014 [as updated through Update Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and also Update Bulletin 2 published on 5 October 2018) – (Charities SORP (FRS 102)], the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

“City of Manchester Aquatics Swim Team (un-constituted)” were converted to “City of Manchester Aquatics Swim Team CIO”, a Charitable Incorporated  Organisation (CIO), being registered at the Charity Commission on the 25[th] of August 2021. 

The assets and liabilities of “City of Manchester Aquatics Swim Team (un-constituted)” were transferred to “City of Manchester Aquatics Swim Team CIO” on the 31[st] of March 2022, being the funds brought forward as at the 1[st] of April 2022.  As such there were no comparables for income and expenditure for the year ended the 31[st] of March 2022. 

## **Going Concern** 

The trustees are satisfied that there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue. 

## **Incoming Resources** 

All income, including grants and donations, 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. Restricted funds are to be used for specified purposes as laid down by the donor. 

Expenditure which meets these criteria’s is identified to the fund, together with a fair allocation of overheads and support costs.  Unrestricted funds are for grants, donations and other incoming resources received or generated for charitable purposes. 

## **Resources Expended** 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis.  All expenses, including support costs and governance costs, are allocated or apportioned to applicable expenditure headings. 

Charitable expenditure shall include all expenditure directly related to the objects of the charity, including the cost of goods and services, that have been incurred in charitable activities. 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required, and the amount for the obligation can be measured reliably. 

## **Governance Costs** 

Governance costs shall include all expenditure directly related to the administration of the charity including expenditure incurred in the management of the charity's assets, organisational administration and compliance with charitable and statutory requirements.
