HACKNEY CARE FOR KIDS REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MAY 2023

Organisation

Trustees are appointed by the directors and serve for the relevant period. The directors meet regularly to discuss matters pertaining to the charity. The manager and staff carry out the day-to-day activities of the charity. The trustees (including induction of trainees) are regularly trained according to their own role within the charity. They are kept entirely up to date by the manager on critical current issues.

Related Parties

A summary of transactions with related parties is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Reserves Policy

The trustees have examined the business and operational risks the charity faces and confirm that systems have been established to enable regular reports to be produced so that the necessary steps can be taken to lessen these risks.

Risk Management

Contribution of volunteers

The branch has drawn upon the pool of volunteers without whom the level of work that we undertake would be significantly less.

Statement of trustees’ responsibilities

Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity’s financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing financial statements giving a true and fair view, the trustees should follow best practice and

Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.
Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent ;
State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
Prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ascertain that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 1993. They are also responsible for safeguarding the charity's assets and hence taking reasonable steps to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS’ REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES ON THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF HACKNEY CARE FOR KIDS

We report on the financial statements for the year ended 31[st] May 2023 on pages 5 to 9.

Respective responsibilities of trustees’ examiner

As described on page 2 the charity’s trustees are responsible for preparing the financial statements. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 and that an independent examination is needed.

It is our responsibility to:

Examine the accounts (under section 43(3)(A) of the Charities Act 1993;
To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 43(7)(b) of the Charities Act 1993; and
To state whether particular matters have come to our attention.

Basis of independent examiners’ report

Our examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An assessment includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit,. Consequently, we do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements.

Independent examiners’ statement

In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention:

(1) This gives us reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements.
To keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Charities Act 1993; and
To prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act 1993

Have not been met; or

(2) To which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.
