Irchester Sports Association Trustees’ Report For The Year Ended 31 March 2025
The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31st March 2025.
Objects
The Associations' objects are to maintain and provide a recreation ground for the benefit of the inhabitants of the Parish of Irchester in Northamptonshire.
Results and reserves
During the year income exceeded expenditure by £6,968. As at 31st March 2025 the Association had £60,610 on deposit at the bank, as a result of this the Committee are fully satisfied that the Association has the retained reserves to fulfil any reasonable financial contingency within the next financial year.
Statement of Trustee's responsibilities.
Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which show a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and its financial activities for that year. In preparing the financial statements the trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
Observe the method and principles of the Charities SORP;
-
Make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards and statements of recommended practice 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 company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2022.
They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Independent examiner
3NT Ltd are the appointed independent examiners and the trustees recommend that they remain in office until further notice.

Irchester Sports Association Accountant's Report For The Year Ended 31 March 2025
We report on the accounts of the Association for the year ended 31st March 2025, which comprise the income and expenditure account, the balance sheet and the related notes.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2022 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is our responsibility to:
-
Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
To follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act), and
-
To state whether particular matters have come to our attention
Basis of independent examiner's statement
Our 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 any 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.
As a practising member of the Institute of Financial Accountants (IFA), we are subject to its ethical and other professional requirements which are detailed at https://www.ifa.org.uk/about-us/acting-in-the-public-interest/memberregulations.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention:
-
Which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2022 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2022 Act have not been met; or
-
To which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
We have not been instructed to carry out an audit of the accounts of Irchester Sports Association . For this reason, we have not verified the accuracy or completeness of the accounting records or information and explanations you have given to us and we do not, therefore, express any opinion on the financial statements.
Signed
