Charity Number:
The registered number of the charity is: 292649
Investment Powers
The Trust Deed authorises the trustees to make and hold investments using the general funds of the charity, but no such investments are presently held.
Structure, Governance and Management
Organisational Structure
The charity is managed exclusively by the trustees.
Risk Management
The trustees have carried out a review of the risks under which the charity operates and have put into place measures to reduce the risk of financial or other loss to the charity.
The principal risks identified are:
A reduction in grants received in recent years may lead to a decline in charitable causes that the charity may be able to support in the future. The charity manages this risk by assessing current and anticipated levels of funds available and issued grants according to these factors.
The identification of investment means to maximise the income derived by the charity for the minimum level of risk. This risk has been managed by placing the bulk of the charity’s funds on deposit with a main clearing bank.
Training
The charity's trustees periodically evaluate possible training requirements to best suit the charity's objectives.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE KREDITOR CHARITABLE TRUST
YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2021
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 5 April 2021 set out on pages 5 to 8.
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND INDEPENDENT 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 2011 (the Charities Act), and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts (under section 145 of the Charities Act) and
-
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 my attention.
BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S STATEMENT
My 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 I do not express an audit opinion on whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’.
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 trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that:
-
proper accounting records are kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
-
accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act; or
-
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
