DUDLEY KIDNEY PATIENTS ASSOCIATION | INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025
We report on the accounts for the period ended 31 October 2025 set out on pages 6 to II.
: Respective responsibilities of trustees and accountants
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 required.
:
It is our responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under Section 145 of the Charities Act;
-
follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145 (5)(b) of the Charities Act), and
-
state whether particular matters have come to our attention.
Basis of our report
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 the trustees concerning 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 statements below.
Independent examiners’ statement
In connection with our examination, no material matters have come to our attention which give us cause to believe that, in any material respect:
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
-
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of the accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
We have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective January 2015) - Charities SORP (FRS 102)). Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).
Fund accounting
All funds are treated as “unrestricted funds" which enables the charity to utilise them for any purpose within its constitution and which have not been designed for other purposes. Restricted funds which are used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised for a specific purpose. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund.
All funds are shown under its appropriate heading within these financial statements.
Policy on reserves
We hold cash at the bank in current and savings accounts. These funds are accessible for running the charity.
Income
All income resources are included within the statement of[financial][activities][when][the][Charity][is][legally][entitled] to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. Interest on funds held on deposit is included when received and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
Expenditure
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been included under expense categories that aggregate all costs for allocation to activities. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with the administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
Goods donated for resale
The charity received donated goods for resale which it recognises at point of sale as the Trustees consider it to be impractical to recognise such gifts on their receipt due to the large value of small items received. As such, stocks of unused goods are not valued for balance sheet purposes.
Fixed assets
All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost and depreciated over their useful economic lives as follows:
Caravans and equipment 15% straight line
