Section E Financial review

Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves

Our aim is to maintain a reserve of 1 terms running costs (approximately £15,000) in the Savings Account to meet any unforeseen expenditure or a reduction in income through lower attendance and bad debts. The account balance at the end of the reporting period was £17,127.19.

Details of any funds materially in deficit

The previous financial year has been tough for the charity, with a total reported loss of £39,051.38. This was due mainly to a downsizing of the staff numbers (and associated redundancy costs) due to a drop-off in the number of children attending the setting.

The staff to child ratio is better corrected for the coming financial year and there are sufficient reserves in place to ensure ongoing operation of the charity for the coming years.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Whiteshill Playgroup.

Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner

The trustees’ responsibilities for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) are set out in the Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities.

You consider that the audit requirement of Section 144 Charities Act 2011 (the Act) does not apply. It is my responsibility to state, on the basis of procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under Section 145 (5) (b) of the Act, whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report

My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and the seeking of 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 financial statements 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 Act; and
to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and to comply with
the accounting requirements of the 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 financial statements to be reached.
