Statement of Trustees responsibilities
The Trustees are required under the Charities Act 2011 to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the charity’s financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing financial statements giving a true and fair view, the trustees should follow best practice and
-
(a) Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
(b) Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
(c) State whether applicable accounting standard and statement of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
(d) Prepare the financial statements in a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the charity and which enables them to ensure that the financial statements comply with applicable law and regulations. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking responsible steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE HOMEYARD HOMES
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 30 June 2024, which are set out on pages 5 to 10.
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER
The Charity’s Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (the act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: -
-
Examine the accounts (under section 145 of the act);
-
To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the act and
-
To state whether particular matters have come to our attention.
BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
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 trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that;
-
proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with section 130 of the Act) and;
-
accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act; or
-
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
