## **Notes to the Financial Statements Year ended 31[st] March 2023**
## **1. Basis of Accounting**
It has been past practice for the financial statements to be prepared on the receipts and payments basis.

In addition, until further information is obtained, we have also accrued £983.00 under maintenance.

The breakdown of maintenance costs is:
Building £813.00 Plumbing 618.04 Decorating 885.00 ____________ £2,316.04
____________
## **3. Property**
The Trustees consider that it is not practicable to value the Freehold Almshouses, which date back to 1612, but have insured them for £2,554,552.

## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Sir Baptist Hicks Almshouses**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Sir Baptist Hicks Almshouses Trust (the Trust) for the year ended 31[st] March 2023.
## **Respective responsibilities of the Trustees of Sir Baptist Hicks Almshouses and the examiner**
As Trustees of Sir Baptist Hicks Almshouses you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent Examiner’s statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act, or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records, or
3. the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a “true and fair”
view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
