Responsibilities of the Trustees
Financial Act requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the surplus or deficit of the Company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the management committee is required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether the applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Members of the Management Committee
Members of the Management Committee, who are trustees for the purpose of charity law, who served during the year and up to the date of this report are set out on page 1.
As the Charity trustee, we certify that:
- as far as we are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the orgainsation accountants are unaware; and - as the directors of the company we have taken all the steps that we ought to have taken in order to make ourselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charity accountants are aware of that information.
Independent Examiner
Taj Accountants Ltd have expressed their willingness to act as the independent examiner for the Charity.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (issued in March 2005).

THE POWER MOVEMENT ORGANISATION
ACCOUNTANT'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS
OF THE POWER MOVEMENT ORGNISATION
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023 set out on pages 6 to 11.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and accountants
The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the 1993 Act)) and that an independent examination is required.
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:
-
examine the accounts under Section 43 of the 1993 Act
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 43(7)(b) of the 1993 Act); and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of the 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 accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, 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 accounts present a 'true and fair view ' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statements below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 41 of the 1993 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 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 accounts to be reached.
