select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF PRESTWICK CIVIL PRIDE PARTNERSHIP
We have examined the financial statements of the charity for the financial year ended 31 August 2025, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities (incorporating an Income and Expenditure Account), the Balance Sheet and the related notes.
This report is made to the charity’s trustees in accordance with section 44(1)(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. Our work has been undertaken so that we might report to the trustees in accordance with those regulations. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees for our work or for this report.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the 2005 Act and the 2006 Regulations. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this financial year under Regulation 10(1) of the 2006 Regulations and that an independent examination is appropriate.
It is our responsibility to:
-
examine the financial statements as required under section 44(1)(c) of the 2005 Act; and
-
state whether any matter has come to our attention which gives cause to believe the requirements of the Act and Regulations have not been met.
Basis of independent examiner's report
Our examination was carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Regulations. An examination consists of reviewing the accounting records kept by the charity and comparing them with the financial statements presented. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures and seeking explanations from the trustees where necessary. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit; consequently, no opinion is expressed on the financial statements.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention which gives us cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
the requirements to keep accounting records in accordance with section 44(1)(a) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and Regulation 4 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 have not been met;
-
the financial statements do not accord with those accounting records or fail to comply with Regulation 8 of the 2006 Regulations; or
-
there are matters to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

Prestwick Civic Pride Partnership NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the financial year ended 31 August 2025
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Prestwick Civic Pride Partnership is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO), registered in Scotland with charity number SC046765.. The registered office of the charity is 184 Main Street, Prestwick, KA9 1PG which is also the principal place of business of the charity. The financial statements have been presented in Pound (£) which is also the functional currency of the charity.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the charity’s financial statements.
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland FRS 102", applying Section 1A of that Standard.
The charity has presented its Statement of Financial Activities and Balance Sheet in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), as permitted by the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. Departures from the standard formats are to comply with the requirements of the Charities SORP and are in compliance with section 4.7, 10.6 and 15.2 of that SORP.
Statement of compliance
The financial statements of the charity for the financial year ended 31 August 2025 have been prepared on the going concern basis and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland FRS 102", applying Section 1A of that Standard.
Fund accounting
The following are the categories of funds maintained:
Restricted funds
Restricted funds represent income received which can only be used for particular purposes, as specified by the donors. Such purposes are within the overall objectives of the charity.
Unrestricted funds
Unrestricted funds consist of General and Designated funds.
-
General funds represent amounts which are expendable at the discretion of the board, in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
-
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that the board has, at its discretion, set aside for particular purposes. These designations have an administrative purpose only, and do not legally restrict the board's discretion to apply the fund.
Income
Income is recognised by inclusion in the Statement of Financial Activities only when the charity is legally entitled to the income, performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, the amounts involved can be measured with sufficient reliability and it is probable that the income will be received by the charity.
Income from charitable activities
Income from charitable activities include income earned from the supply of services under contractual arrangements and from performance related grants which have conditions that specify the provision of particular services to be provided by the charity. Income from government and other co-funders is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to the income because it is fulfilling the conditions contained in the related funding agreements. Where a grant is received in advance, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, it is accrued in debtors.
Grants from governments and other co-funders typically include one of the following types of conditions:
- Performance based conditions: whereby the charity is contractually entitled to funding only to the extent that
11
continued
Prestwick Civic Pride Partnership NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the financial year ended 31 August 2025
the core objectives of the grant agreement are achieved. Where the charity is meeting the core objectives of a grant agreement, it recognises the related expenditure, to the extent that it is reimbursable by the donor, as income.
-Time based conditions: whereby the charity is contractually entitled to funding on the condition that it is utilised in a particular period. In these cases the charity recognises the income to the extent it is utilised within the period specified in the agreement.
In the absence of such conditions, assuming that receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured, grant income is recognised once the charity is notified of entitlement.
Grants received towards capital expenditure are credited to the Statement of Financial Activities when received or receivable, whichever is earlier.
Expenditure
Expenditure is analysed between costs of charitable activities and raising funds. The costs of each activity are separately accumulated and disclosed, and analysed according to their major components. Expenditure is recognised when a legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of a past event, a transfer of economic benefits is required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be reliably measured. Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but cannot be attributed to one activity. Such costs are allocated to activities in proportion to staff time spent or other suitable measure for each activity.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand comprises cash on deposit at banks requiring less than three months notice of withdrawal.
Taxation and deferred taxation
No current or deferred taxation arises as the charity has been granted charitable exemption. Irrecoverable valued added tax is expensed as incurred.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date where transactions or events have occurred at that date that will result in an obligation to pay more tax in the future, or a right to pay less tax in the future. Timing differences are temporary differences between the charity's taxable profits and its results as stated in the financial statements.
Deferred tax is measured on an undiscounted basis at the tax rates that are anticipated to apply in the periods in which the timing differences are expected to reverse, based on tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
