I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all 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 do 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.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES** ## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. ## **Freehold land and buildings** The properties are held for the provision of social housing and are stated at cost less depreciation in accordance with the guidance given in the Housing SORP 2018: Statement of Recommended Practice for Registered Social Housing Providers. ## **Old Almshouses** No figure is included in the balance sheet in respect of the old Almshouses and land comprised in the deed of gift dated 17 March 1612. Reference should be made to the comment in the Trustees Report. ## **New Almshouses** The new Almshouses are shown at cost, less Housing Association Grant and depreciation, as shown in the notes to these financial statements. ## **Depreciation** Depreciation has been provided on the new Almshouses at a rate which will write off the cost over a period of 60 years. ## **Taxation** The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. ## **Housing association grants** Housing Association Grants (HAG) have been made by the Department of the Environment and have been utilised to reduce the amount of the mortgage loan in respect of the approved scheme to the amount which it is estimated can be serviced by the net annual income of the scheme. The amount of HAG has been calculated on the qualifying costs of the scheme in accordance with instructions issued from time to time by the Department of the Environment. Grants have been accounted for using the accruals method as permitted by FRS102 and in accordance with the guidance in the Housing SORP 2018: Statement of Recommended Practice for Registered Social Housing Providers. Grants are recognised over the useful life of the housing property.
