STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES
The Charities Act 1993 requires the trustees 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 incoming resources and application of resources in the year.
In preparing the financial statements the Trustees:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the statement of accounts;
-
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which are such as to disclose, with reasonable accuracy, the financial position of the Charity at any time, and to enable them as Trustees to ensure that the financial statements comply with the regulations under Section 42 (1) of the Charities Act 1993. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the charity’s assets and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

NOTE TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] DECEMBER 2023
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of Accounts
These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the Statement of Recommended Practice (Revised 2000). “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” and the Charities Act 1993.
(b) Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost or valuation, less estimated residual value of tangible fixed assets over their estimated useful lives to the business. The annual depreciation rate and method are as follows: Furniture, fixtures and equipment – 20% on cost Property improvements – 2% on cost Property improvements – 10% on purchases from 2012 onwards
(c) Stock
Stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Net realisable value is based on estimated selling price, less any further costs of realisation.
(d) Marling Close Trust
In 1989 Marling Close Trust granted the charity £20,000. The committee agreed to pay the Trust £348 per annum for 29 years being the cost of a recoupment order by the Charity Commission against the Trust to allow the grant to be made. In order to comply with the 2000 Charities SORP, the balance is shown as a creditor.
The charity pays rent of £10 per annum to the trust for the land on which the hall stands.

Independent Examiner’s Report on the Accounts (Accruals Accounts)
| Report to the members of | King’s Stanley Village Hall |
|---|---|
| On accounts for the year ended | 31stDecember 2023 |
| Respective responsibilities of | The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the |
| trustees and examiner | accounts. The charity’s trustees consider than an audit is not |
| required for this year (under Section 43(2) of the Charities Act | |
| 1993 (the Act) and that an independent examination is needed. | |
| Basis of independent | An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept |
| examiner’s statement | by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with |
| those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual | |
| items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations | |
| from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures | |
| undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be | |
| required in an audit and consequently I do not express an audit | |
| opinion on the accounts. | |
| Independent Examiner’s | In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my |
| statement | attention: |
| • which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any |
|
| material respect the requirements to keep proper account | |
| records have not been met. | |
| • to which in my opinion, attention should be drawn in |
|
| order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts | |
| to be reached. |
