Section C Notes to the Accounts

C1 Nature and purpose of funds (may be stated on analysis of funds worksheets)

Funds are received on a voluntary basis from 1) clients who undertake therapy with our volunteer therapists; 2) small donations from participants of our seminars (via Eventbrite). Expenses relate to room rental, phone and internet connection and miscellaneous items to support operations. Further details are provided in the additional notes sections. Arkordia has received £4,680 from the Foundation Scotland resilience fund to provide capacity to reduce the waiting list in light of the Covid 19 pandemic in the FY 19/20. A total of £360 has been brought forward to FY 23/24. This money is used to pay volunteer therapists £30 per session to see clients on a short-term basis (the market rate for such work is £50-£80). This funding is treated as restricted in the R&P accounts. The current volunteer therapists are also trustees of the charity, so details of the payments for funded therapy sessions are included in section 3b below. However, due to a lack of shortterm clients, none of the restricted fund was spent during FY 23/24, with the same amount (a total residual £360) carried forward to the new FY 24/25. Additionally, Arkordia has received £1,000 from Foundation Scotland on behalf of Baillie Gifford in 23/24, which is treated as unrestricted fund.

Respective
responsibilities of
trustees and examiner

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance
with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) 2005 Act and the
Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The charity trustees
consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) of the Accounts Regulations
does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under
section 44(1) (c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my
~~attention~~
Basis of independent
examiner’s statement
My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Accounts
Regulations. 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 seeks
explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures
undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and,
consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent examiner’s
statement
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention [other than that
disclosed on the attached page*]
1.
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the
requirements:
•
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act
and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations, and
•
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with
Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations
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.
