## **Independent Examiner's Report for the year ended 5 April 2025**
I report to the trustees of the Geoffrey John Kaye Charitable Foundation on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 5 April 2025, which are set out on pages 5 to 10.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the Charity’s trustees, 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 Charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act. 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**
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the Charity has prepared its accounts in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities applying the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005, which is referred to in the extant regulations but has since been withdrawn.
I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice applicable to reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
I have completed my examination and confirm that no material matters have come to my attention which give me cause to believe that, in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in accordance with 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 my examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **The Geoffrey John Kaye Charitable Foundation**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 5 April 2025**
## **1. Accounting policies**
## **a) Basis of preparation**
The accounts are prepared under the historical cost convention, in accordance with applicable accounting standards and the Charities Act 2011.
The Charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (the Charities SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts under the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), issued on 16 July 2014 (as updated by Update Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016), together with FRS 102 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
The Charity has applied Update Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and has taken advantage of the exemption available under the Charities SORP (FRS 102) not to prepare a cash flow statement
The financial statements have been prepared to give a true and fair view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to achieve a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP applicable to charities preparing their accounts under FRS 102, issued on 16 July 2014, rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005, which has since been withdrawn.
## **b) Going concern**
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
## **c) Income**
Income, including any relevant gift aid claims, are recognised in these accounts in the period in which the Charity is entitled to receipt and can be measured with reasonable certainty. Gifts in kind are recognised at the cost the Charity would have had to pay for these gifts.
## **d) Expenditure**
All expenditure is included on an accruals basis and is recognised when there is a legal or constructive obligation to pay.
Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is conveyed to the recipient except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being included as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled.
## **e) Investments**
Investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in the statement of financial activities for the year.

## **The Geoffrey John Kaye Charitable Foundation**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 5 April 2025**
## **1. Accounting policies (continued)**
## **g) Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
## **h) Financial instruments**
The Charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the Charity’s balance sheet when the Charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
## _**Basic financial assets**_
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
## _**Basic financial liabilities**_
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services received in the ordinary course of the Charity’s activities. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities where payment is due within one year of the reporting date; otherwise, they are classified as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are initially recognised at transaction price and are subsequently measured at that amount, less any impairment or provision.
## **2. Trustees and employees**
No remuneration or expenses were paid to the trustees of the Charity. There were no employees other than the trustees.
