HAWICK COMMON RIDING COMMITTEE (SCIO) REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2025
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st August 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims The principal objects of the Committee shall be to uphold and continue the Heritage, Customs and Traditions of the Common-Riding for the benefit of the people of Hawick and to annually accept responsibility to ensure the proper conduct of the ceremonies.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
The Common Riding of 2025 was another successful celebration of our customs and traditions. The current financial crisis again impacted on our mounted support and some ticket sales.
The weather impacted on ticket sales at Hawick Moor and we are also aware that Covid is still around. Police Scotland amended their policy in relation to charging charities and therefore there is no charge for their services in 2024 and again in 2025, but we are aware this may change going forward.
In order to progress the improvement of facilities at the racecourse the committee agreed to support Friends of Hawick Mair by paying for the costs associated with getting a business plan and building plans drawn up. The project aims to improve the facilities available to the townsfolk of Hawick on the Mair.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
Total Incoming Resources decreased during the year by £1,756 from £128,526 to £126,770
Expenditure increased by £18,902 from £106,401 to £125,303.
Total reserves at 31st August 2025 stood at £241,472.
Risk management and reserves policy
The Committee aim to hold at least one year's expenditure in the General Fund, At present the funds are well in excess of this amount although projects to utilise the funds are underway or in planning. The committee are aware that it may not receive the SBC Grant in the future and robust efficiencies must be made to make the Common Riding financially sustainable.
The current economic climate may also impact the Common Riding financially, and the Cornet's mounted support.
The Committee made the decision to purchase ten gold medals, to safeguard against future increases in price of gold for the years to come.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2025
FUTURE PLANS
The Common Riding Committee initially earmarked £120,000 for future projects. During the year costs relating to Hawick Mair project have been deducted from this. Our main project, which was to replace the current Committee Rooms at Hawick Moor, has now been put on hold, due to proposed plans from another organisation. While the Committee buildings are still on hold the Committee hope this will progress in the forthcoming year.
The Committee invested in a whisky cask with partners Borders Distillery as a future investment.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF HAWICK COMMON RIDING COMMITTEE (SCIO)
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31st August 2025 set out on pages seven to eighteen,
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) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The charity's trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1)(a) to (c) 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 the independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. 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 I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
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 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 to comply with Regulation 8 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.

HAWICK COMMON RIDING COMMITTEE (SCIO) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2025
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)’, Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ and the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Going concern
The trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of not less than twelve months. The trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources,
Allocation and apportionment of costs
Support costs are allocated as a percentage across the main charitable activities; 25% Hawick Moor Horse Racing, 25% Town Hall Dinner and Ball, 25% Ceremonial and 25% Civic.
Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES- continued
Financial assets
Basic financial assets, including trade and other debtors and bank balances, are initially recognised at transaction price.
At the end of each reporting period financial assets measured at cost are assessed for evidence of impairment. Any impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities. Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled.
Financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors, are initially recognised at transaction price.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. These are classed as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the liability is extinguished, that is when the contractual obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires.
