## **Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The Group's policy on reserves is to hold sufficient resources to continue the charitable activities of the group should income and fundraising activities fall short. The Group Executive Committee considers that the group should hold a sum equivalent to 12 months running costs, circa £6,000. 

The Group held reserves of approximately £75,000 against this at the year end. This is above the level required for operating expenses. 

The Group’s designated ‘Building and Renovation Fund’, where money raised through litter picking events and from the Covid relief grants is held for future plans of renovating/rebuilding the scout hut, has reserves of approximately £60,000. (This money has been ring fenced by the executive committee and has no 3[rd] party restrictions placed on it.) 

The reserves held are still in excess of the policy. This is partly due to the reduction in spending during the pandemic – where meetings were held virtually. We would expect the reserves to return to normal levels in the near future. 

## **Declaration** 

The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of the Farsley Scout Group** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of  the accounts of the Farsley Scout Group Trust for the year ended 31 March 2022 . 

Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner 

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

- Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act 

- To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 14S(S)(b) of the 2011 Act); and 

- 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 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 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 2011 Act; and 

   - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 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.
