Commentary on the model Trustees’ Annual Report and accounts: Westbeach Youth Club
This example is for a charity preparing receipts and payments accounts.
The youth club charity had an income of £47,476 in the year and is eligible for independent examination. As the charity is below the larger charity threshold it may also prepare a simple annual report (refer to CC15d Charity Reporting and Accounting: The essentials and the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008). An example report by the charity’s the independent examiner (see ‘CC32 - Independent Examination of Charity Accounts’ for further examples of examiner’s reports) is also included.
The trustees’ annual report CC16b pro forma
Trustees do not have to use the pro forma to write their annual report but the form includes all the information trustees must provide and gives an opportunity to provide further optional information if the trustees so wish.
The ‘ Summary of the main activities undertaken’ also includes confirmation that the trustees have had regard to our guidance on public benefit when planning the cha rity’s activities. Further information about is provided in a ‘Summary of the main achievements ’ Additional voluntary information is provided about the contribution made by volunteers, collaboration with other organisations and details of the char ity’s main policies and future plans. In addition, the report confirms that the trustees received no remuneration or other benefits from the charity.
The accounts CC16a pro forma (in original form as a separate excel document)
The accounts pro forma is suitable for comparatively straightforward accounts. Before using the pro forma please read the completion notes. We also recommend that a bank reconciliation is prepared to reconcile the closing balance at bank before completing the form. Also charities with several restricted funds or more complex affairs may need to summarise their information before using the pro forma or alternatively use it as a tool to assist in the design of their own accounts.
In the example gift aid recovered from HM Revenue and Customs is shown separately. The charity has a small restricted fund, called the Youth Aid Appeal, associated with the awards scheme and has undertaken fundraising, the proceeds of which were restricted for the awards only. The acquisition of functional fixed assets is shown separately on row A4.
The statement of assets and liabilities includes cash at bank and also identifies an outstanding gift aid claim relating to the year which was not received by the 31[st ] December 2016. Similarly there is an invoice from PC Services which has not been paid relating to work undertaken prior to the year end.
The minibus, office and computer equipment are listed under the section ‘assets retained for the charity’s own use’ and the trustees have provided voluntary information about their estimate of the residual value of the minibus.
