TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES

Charity Law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the situation of the charity at the year’s end and of its incoming resources and resources expended for that year. In preparing those financial Statements the trustees are required to:

• select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently,

• make judgement and estimates that are reasonable and prudent,

• prepare the financial statements on an ongoing concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 1993. 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.

This report was approved by the board of trustees and signed on its behalf by

Michael Dike Chairman For the Trustees

Accountant’s Report

Report to the Trustees/members of: The Dayspring On accounts for the year ended: 31 March 2023 Charity No: 1200490

Respective responsibilities of trustees and accountants

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:

• Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,

• To follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and

• To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner’s statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 the 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 statement below.

Independent examiner’s statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

• 1) which give me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect, the requirements:

• to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act.

• to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or

• 2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
