## Respective responsibilities of trustees and independent examiner
As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts, you consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act, to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 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 the 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 an 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 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:
- e which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: to keep proper accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or
- e to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
- e the revenue account and balance sheet for year ended 31 December 2022 are in agreement with the books of account kept by the St Leonards Hospital Trust under paragraph 18(2) of Schedule 1 to the Housing Act 1996;

## ST LEONARDS HOSPITAL TRUST
## Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2022
## 14. PRINCIPLE ACCOUTING POLICIES
The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable Financial Reporting Standards in the United Kingdom, the SORP “Accounting by Registered Social Landlords” issued in May 2005 and the Accounting Requirements for Registered Social Landlords General Determination 2006. A summary of the more important accounting policies is set out below.
a) Basis of Accounting
The Financial Statements are prepared on the Historical Cost basis of accounting.
## b) Turnover
Turnover represents maintenance contributions receivable.
## c) Housing Properties
The Almshouses were constructed in the late Nineteenth Century by three benefactors. The Housing Properties cost relates to improvements carried out since 1970 which were funded by a Housing Construction grant, and from St Leonards Hospital Trust’s own resources. As the properties are maintained in a state of repair such hat their estimated residual value is not less than their improvement cost or carrying amount, the annual charge for depreciation would be NIL.
## d) Housing Association Grant
Housing Association Grant (HAG) is paid by the Housing Corporation to reduce the cost of development and is, therefore, shown as a deduction from the cost of Housing Properties on the Balance Sheet.
## e) Cyclical Repairs and Maintenance
St Leonards Hospital Trust has established a regular programme of cyclical repairs and maintenance. Costs are charged to the Revenue Account in the year in which they are incurred.
f) Extraordinary Repairs
Costs of Extraordinary Repairs, unless representing improvements to the properties, are charged to the Revenue Account in the year in which they are incurred.
## g) Cyclical Repairs and Maintenance Reserve
This reserve represents amounts set aside for cyclical maintenance to meet costs in excess of budgeted expenditure for any year.
h) Value Added Tax
St Leonards Hospital Trust is not registered for Value Added Tax. In these Financial Statements, where applicable, expenditure is shown inclusive of VAT.
i) Cash Flow Statement
Under Financial Reporting Standard No 1, the Trust is not required to produce a Cash Flow Statement.
