## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024** 

## 1 

## **Accounting Policies** 

The financial statements are prepared using the Receipts and Payments basis. 

## 1.1 

## **Accounting convention** 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the valuation of investment assets, which are shown at market value. 

## 1.2 **Funds** 

Unrestricted funds are general funds which can be used for ordinary purposes. 

Endowment funds are funds, the capital of which must be maintained. 

## 1.3 **Fixed Assets** 

The original Land and Buildings are not included in the Statement of Assets as there is insufficient cost information available and therefore these assets are not valued in these accounts. 

Investments are valued at market value at 31 December.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF St GILBERT OF SEMPRINGHAM CHURCH SCHOOL CHARITY** 

I report on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2024 which are set out on pages 3 to 6. 

## **Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Independent Examiner** 

As trustees of the charity, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. You 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; under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 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 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 that the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent Examiner's Statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matters have come to my attention: 

- 1 which give me reasonable cause to belive 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 to 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.
