INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF GARDEN VILLAGE & DISTRICT COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION (Charity No. 524074)

I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 5 April 2021, which are set out on pages 4 to 8.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity’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:

Basis of examiner’s report

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 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 material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that, in any material respect:

I have no concerns and 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.

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2021

FINANCIAL REVIEW

As with many Community Centres, 2020-2021 was an extremely difficult year for the Community Association. Not just in financial terms but also in having to navigate the complex areas of physical and legislative compliance etc. It would appear that the Senior Management Team successfully overcame these challenges placing the Association in a strong position for continued growth in the forthcoming year. There is a profit of £14,626, with reserves that are satisfactory to continue operating into the future.

RESERVES POLICY

It is the policy of the charity to continue to accumulate financial reserves.

ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING RESPONSIBILITIES

The Charities Act requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity at the end of the year and of the surplus or deficiency for the year then ended.

In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

  1. select suitable accounting policies and then apply them on a consistent basis;

  2. make judgements and estimates that are prudent and reasonable, and

  3. prepare the financial statement on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records, which 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 2011. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking steps for the prevention and detection of fraud or other irregularities.
