Page **3** of **10** 



## **Risks and internal control** 

The District has in place systems of internal control that are designed to provide reasonable assurance against material mismanagement or loss. These include two signatories for all payments and comprehensive insurance policies to ensure that insurable risks are covered. 

## O **bjectives and activities** 

Scouting exists to actively engage and support young people in their personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to society. 

As Scouts we are guided by these values: **Integrity -** We act with integrity; we are honest, trustworthy and loyal. **Respect -** We have self-respect and respect for others. **Care -** We support others and take care of the world in which we live. **Belief -** We explore our faiths, beliefs and attitudes **- Co-operation -** We make a positive difference; we co-operate with others and make friends. 

Scouting takes place when young people, in partnership with adults, work together based on the values of Scouting and enjoy what they are doing and have fun, take part in activities indoors and outdoors, learn by doing, share in spiritual reflection, take responsibility and make choices, undertake new and challenging activities and make and live by their Promise. 

The District meets the Charities Commission’s public benefit criteria under both the advancement of education and the advancement of citizenship or community development headings. 

## **Main achievements during the year** 

These are set out by the District Commissioner and Chairman in the District annual report. 

## **Financial accounts** 

This is shown on pages 6 to 10 of this report. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The District policy on reserves is to hold sufficient resources to continue the charitable activities of the District should income and fundraising activities fall short. The District Executive Committee considers that the District should hold a sum equivalent to 24 months running costs, circa £20000. 

## **Declaration** 

The Trustees declare that they have approved the above report.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of the Croydon District Scout Council** 

I report on the accounts of the District for the year ended 31 December 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and related notes set out on pages 6 - 10 

This report is made solely to the trustees in accordance with Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity’s trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent Examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees for my examination work. 

## **Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner** 

The Group’s/District’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. They consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act)) and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

1. Examine the accounts (under Section 145 of the Charities Act); 

2. To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under Section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act); and 

3. To state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of Independent Examiner's report** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Group/District 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. 

## **Independent Examiner's statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention 

1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements; to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the Charities Act; and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or 

2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Thls report Is made solelytothe Irustees In accordance with Section 145 of the Charlties Act 2011. My

to state to them In an Independent Examlnerfs report and for no otlier purpose. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibillty to anyone other than the charlty and the
charity's tnjstees for my examlnation work.
RÈspectlv• responslbllltles of Trustees and Emamlner
The Grotsp'slDistrlct's trustee5 are responslble lorthe preparation of the accounts. They conslderthat

Basls of Independent Examlnels report
My exarnlnation was Carrled out In accordance with the General Dlrectlon$ 8lven by the Charlty

Group/Dlstrlct and a comparlson of the accounts presented with those records. It also Includes
conslderatlon of any unusual Itèms or disclosures In the accounts and seeking explanatlons from you
as trustees concernlng any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provlde all the evldence
that would be requlred In an audlt, and consequently no oplnion Is glven as to whether the accounts
present a'true and lalrf vlew and the report15 Ilmlted to those matters set out In the statement below.
Independent Examlner's statement
