Statement of Trustees Responsibilities

The Trustees are required to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit for that period. In preparing the financial statements the trustees are required to:

Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently:

Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent:

State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements:

Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose, with reasonable accuracy at any time, the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the appropriate legislation. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Poynton-With-Worth Almshouse Charity

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2024

1. Principal Accounting Policies

The format of the accounts complies with the Registered Housing Association (Accounting Requirements) and Statement of Recommended Accounting by Registered Housing Associations.

1.1 Basis of Accounting

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention modified by the revaluation of investments to market value at the end of the year.

1.2 Turnover

Turnover represents the maintenance contributions received from residents occupying the six houses under licence.

1.3 Housing Property

Poynton-With-Worth Almshouses were built in the mid-nineteenth century and there is no record of the original cost, and no value is attributable thereto.

The housing property cost relates to the improvements carried out in 1988 which were funded by a Housing Corporation grant. As the properties are maintained in a state of repair such that their estimated residual value is not less than their improvement costs, the annual charge for depreciation would be nil.

1.4 Housing Association Grant

The Housing Association Grant is paid by the Housing Corporation to meet the cost of the improvements to the property and is, therefore, shown as a deduction from this cost in the Balance Sheet. The grant is repayable under certain circumstances, primarily following the sale of the property, but will normally be restricted in the net proceeds of cost.

1.5 Extraordinary Repairs

Amounts related to rentals are set aside on an annual basis as a provision for major repairs and an equivalent amount is invested in M&G Securities National Association of Almshouses Common Investment Fund Accumulation Shares.

The cost of the extraordinary repairs, unless representing improvements to the property are charged against the provision in the year in which they are incurred.

9

Poynton-With-Worth Almshouse Charity

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2024

1.6 Reserves for Extraordinary Repairs and Cyclical Maintenance

These reserves represent amounts set aside out of revenue account to carry out major repairs, cyclical repairs and maintenance on housing properties.

1.7 Income and Expenditure Account

This account represents the free funds of the charity, which are not designated for particular purposes. The trustees review this reserve and consider the adequacy of the reserve in meeting the costs of ensuring that the weekly maintenance charge to residents is maintained at an amount significantly less than local Council house rents for similar property and to meet the cost of any uneven patterns of expenditure, which may occur.

1.8 Value Added Tax

The charity is not registered for Value Added Tax. In the financial statements expenditure is shown inclusive of VAT, where applicable.

1.9 Cash Flow Statement
