## **Financial review**
## **Principal sources of funding**
The principal source of funding for the Charity is Donations and Grants/Compaigns from the community.
## **Reserves policy**
The Trustees have established a policy whereby, given the charity's present level and nature of activities, the restricted funds not committed or invested in intangible and tangible fixed assets ("the free reserves") held by the Charity. At this level the Trustees feel that they would be able to continue the current activities the current activities of the Charity in the event of a significant drop in funding. It would obviously be necessary to consider how the funding would be replaced as activities changed.
The level of free reserves (if any) will be held at the balance sheet which reflects the funds received by donors or other funders shortly before the year end which were utilised early in the new year. In addition, these donations are retained and utilised systematically to support necessary projects during the next twelve Months.

## **Statement of Trustees' responsibilities**
The charity's trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and Applicable law). The trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and the income and expenditure of the charity for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of POWER UP (the Charity) , which are set out on page 5 & 6.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and Examiner**
The trustees of Power Up are responsible for the preparation of the accounts, the trustees consider that an Audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
1. Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act
2. Follow the procedure laid down in the general direction given by the charity commissioners under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 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 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 and 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 matters set out in the statement below.
Our work was conducted in accordance with the statement of standards of reporting accountants, and so our procedures consisted of comparing the accounts with the accounting records kept by the charity, and making such limited enquires of the officers of the charity as we considered necessary for the purpose of the reporitng. These procedures provided only the assurance expressed in our opinion.
In connection with my examination, no other matters has come to my attention:
1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirement:
- **.** to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act and
- **.** to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 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.
