Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Shropshire Inclusive Dance on the Accounts for the Year Ended 31 May 2023
Basis of independent examiner’s report
We report on the accounts of Shropshire Inclusive Dance for the year ended 31 May 2023 which are set out on pages 2 - 13.
The trustee's (who are also the directors of the company for the purpose of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustee's 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 our responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145 (5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to our attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
Our examination was carried out in accordance with general directions for an independent examination. 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 our examination, no matter has come to our attention:
-
which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recognised Practice: Accounting and Reporting of Charities
have not been met; or
- to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Shropshire Inclusive Dance Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 May 2023
1. Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies are summarised below. The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the year and in the preceding year.
(a) Basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities SORP (FRS 102) together with update Bulletin 1.
(b) Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.
Restricted funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purpose, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
(c) Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to, and certain to receive, the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following policies are applied to particular categories of income:
Voluntary income is received by way of grants, donations and gifts and is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable. Grants, where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant.
Items donated for resale through the charity’s market stall are included as incoming resources within activities for generating funds when they are sold.
Incoming resources from charitable trading activity are accounted for when earned.
(d) Resources Expended
Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure. Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates:
Costs of generating funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income and the costs of trading for fundraising purposes including the charity's market stall.
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the Independent Examiner's fee.
All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the SOFA on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly, others are apportioned on an appropriate basis e.g. Floor areas, per capita or estimated usage.
(e) Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
Fixtures, fittings and equipment
25% reducing balance basis
Impairment reviews are carried out as and when evidence comes to light that the recoverable amount of a functional fixed asset is below its net book value due to damage, obsolescence or other relevant factors.
